I've used the Garmin pacing function on my watch twice during a race, but they were trail races. I was way too busy looking at the trails and had no time to check my watch while running. Also, predictor (fitness-based predictor, not my pacing strategy predictor) said I would finish the race in 1:45:00 - but obviously it had no idea of how rough and messed up the trails were, so I finished in 2:22:00 instead :-))

I’ve used it twice. Hit PB each time. Of course i knew the pace that I wanted but it helped to remove mental calculation when doing a race or going for PB.
@g.g.82795 ай бұрын
The pace pro was not very accurate. I finished almost to minutes slower than my watch predicted. In the end I ran 300m more (on my watch). Even with the race screen where you can reset the time based on km marks my time was not completely corrected

Since starting running in January and building up to 10km’s, the Pace Pro has definitely helped. First 10Km was 59.56 and Saturday’s PB using the pace pro plan was frustratingly close to a sub 50min at 50.29. A very good way to see how the training is paying off. The increments work well in maintaining or getting a move on to stay on pace.

I was introduced to pace pro later on. I was already fairly experienced with 5k time at sub 20 and 10k at 41 mins. Pace pro did nothing at all for me. I was much better off focusing on how I feel. I think it's good for when you're starting out but as soon as you have some experience it'll become redundant.

@@mattrybacki189 At the end of the training, my watch claimed that I could run a 21:5* (something). So I went all out, pushed so hard that I nearly threw up during my attempt and got ****23:31****- a 5 second PB. Not what Garmin claimed I could run, but a PB is a PB and I’ll take it. 😃 I have just followed the Garmin half marathon training plan….The race race didn’t go well for that one, as I finished 10mins slower than my target and 8mins slower than my PB. The Garmin half marathon training with Greg, didn’t have anywhere near enough long distance runs at target pace and so I feel it did not prepare me for it well enough.

That being said, everyone gives Andy such a hard time and he is such an inspiration himself- not so much because of his race paces but because of his ability and willingness to translate his pro knowledge to the average runner in a way that is helpful, inspiring and not condescending.

I know it makes sense to have the 10K race being in an actual race, but it would have been also nice to see (or maybe a follow up) to see how James does on the exact same route he did for his baseline, he'd still be able to show off the PacePro and show how you don't need a race environment/crowd/competition to get a new PB.... just a thought (maybe I should work for Garmin and TRC's PR dept!)

Used pace pro once, summer '22, for a 10k that turned out to be an utter scorcher. Trying to stick to the plan was incredibly hard and I missed the target by a few mins - I did go faster than I would have just running to feel. James did incredibly well - knocking over a minute off the time trial is significant in just 6 weeks given the conditions on the day - picking an all-road autumn/spring 10k would likely see much more favourable conditions!

I did the New Forest 10k last year and, while I didn't blow down any trees, it gave me enough confidence to enter for the marathon this year. It was way too tough for an inexperienced old man whose six years of running experience has not included many miles off-road. I sort of washed up a the finish rather ran over it. Now for the good news: I was first in the 70+ age category -- of two!. Now for the bad news: I've been granted free entry for next year. Talking of the finish: that long straight approach track must be around three-hundred meters! Not too bad at the end of a steady 10k, horrific after a dodgy 42.2k. My heart went out the James. By the way: well done James!

I’ve only recently replaced my old Garmin to one with PacePro, and I haven’t had chance to try the feature yet, so I may be wrong but I’ve seen that the Connect IQ data field ‘Race Screen’ lets you correct GPS errors and realign the watch to the measured distance markers by pressing the lap button. Perhaps it also gets PacePro back on track. Race Screen only affects pacing rather than recorded distance, I think. It’s a shame Garmin doesn’t have an inbuilt feature for this.

Just tried PacePro yesterday on a 10K run ahead of a HM and had the same issue. They should really only feed the splits and then go off of measured distance, rather than trying to compare to the course map, which of course is going to be slightly off. My solution was to switch to my usual screen where I have lap pace. Then when PacePro lapped, it would show the new split and I would target that. Annoying. But I did hit a new PB!

Congratulations! I am shooting for a PB in a 10k in one week and though I only need to get below 57 by 2 secons, yesterday's cross country 5k race slightly damped my optimism while improving my Garmin's expectations. Sadly, Garmin will be my pacer and not Andy. Truth is that it was a very rolling cross-country yesterday with one very steep slope and I was not too far behind my goal, so maybe it's not too bad. However, while I did put in a lot of base training, harder sessions usually got cancelled by Garmin in view of my tennis training and matches. Tennis appears to interfere a lot with the daily running suggestions by Garmin. I will try another program or build one by hand for next year's race season. The very good news: yesterday's cross was my very first race at 52 (not counting a few parkruns) and despite the cold, humidity, wind and terrain: I loved it!

Congratulations, James! You did a great job coming close to your younger, full-nights-of-sleep self. Do you think that the adaptations the training plan made were useful for you?

Well done!!! That’s awesome and inspiring! I am about the same speed as you! About to do Scottish 10k in 2 weeks after running Loch Ness marathon last Sunday. I am slow and need to work on my speed again! Last year I did this 10k 54.56 so gonna try to beat that. Wish me luck. Ps I have loved watching your races!!! Do more 👍🏻

@@runningchannel yes good although I don’t feel particularly fast at the moment. Will use it as a benchmark for improving my speed over the next few months. I am using all your advice to hopefully get me a 5k pb by 23rd December. 👍🏻 Thanks for all the videos, I am obsessed starting to rewatch some.

Well done James, I have a feeling that if you'd had a longer training block before the race you'd have got even further under your benchmark time.

Well done James! Would you have run with music if not filming? And if so, do you think it would have helped? I'm going for a PB at the Great South Run on Sunday, mostly because it's the first time running 10 miles :D

He usually runs with music so maybe there’s a video there! Seeing the impact music would have had on his times 🤔

I have my next 10k 15th Nov. My last official one (& first ever) was in June where I got sub 64 mins. I'm hoping to get around 54.30 this time. Must try pave Pro, haven't used it in that way before. Well done James 👏 you did fantastic, would love to see you try some more shorter runs & see if you'll stick with them or go back to the ultras

Would that be considered a good improvement for 6 weeks of training for someone with your experience? I know that's difficult to answer as the course and conditions were different. But on reflection were you happy with that improvement, or did you expect more?

Do share your heart zone image. Your benchmark run was completely in zone 4/5 i want to see how your heart rate reduced with the garmin recommendation as it normally doesnt have any heart rate based race finishes

My 10k PB was set 17 years ago 41:05. I am now aiming for sub 40, just did a 41:33 last week after a 44:36 in Feb. My 5k PB is 19:58 from 18 years ago, just did a 20:00 5 weeks ago. I should break that.

I’ve found that sometimes the PacePro doesn’t tell me how far ahead or behind I am on the overall. So I’ve had to also use Virtual Partner. The distance bar in the middle also doesn’t work for the first mile.
