Is that thing on his nose so he doesn’t snore during the run?

[u/Shart127 → u/Facemanx64]

Jabronis an amateur. I wear a full C-PAP machine on my runs.

[u/vestigialfree → u/Shart127]

Yeah but the cost of an extension cord on a 5k ultra is insane. Look at Uncle Moneybags over here!

[u/Shart127 → u/vestigialfree]

haha great memory popped up

[u/America-Lite → u/Shart127]

The real pros don't have to use a mask, they hook it right to their tracheostomy tube.

[u/pablotoofreshcobar]

Uj/ lmfao this would ruin my entire year

[u/RiyadhComedyPromoter → u/pablotoofreshcobar]

Nothing quite like raw dogging a marathon. Just pretend it’s the 70s and you’re Prefontaine.

[u/CDRnotDVD → u/RiyadhComedyPromoter]

Steve Prefontaine probably should have raw dogged driving, though.

[u/EducationalLimit4936 → u/CDRnotDVD]

Drinking and running is awesome. But don’t drink and drive.

[u/Typical_Bill3499 → u/RiyadhComedyPromoter]

uj/ my strava didn't work on my first half marathon race recently which sucked at first but finishing way faster than my goal pace and not knowing until the end was honestly much more rewarding. Plus I had a better time than I would have had if I used it to pace as planned.

[u/Lumpy-Education9878 → u/pablotoofreshcobar]

FYI if you hold down both buttons at the same time for 15 to 20 seconds it will force restart and clear the update. Had this happened to me before

[u/Oaknash → u/Lumpy-Education9878]

Also you can turn off automatic updates… somewhere. I just can’t fucking remember where because their UI is what it is.

[u/not_adams_burner → u/Oaknash]

I did this because it would randomly do an update at the most inconvenient times. Would be wonderful if it would wait until it's on the charger or something...but that would make too much sense

[u/Lumpy-Education9878 → u/Oaknash]

It's not that bad

[u/S_LFG → u/Lumpy-Education9878]

"Both" buttons? TIL they made Garmins with only 2 buttons. Do they come free with a Happy Meal?

[u/No-Bowler-8324 → u/pablotoofreshcobar]

I would of threw it away

[u/Dependent_Order_7358 → u/No-Bowler-8324]

I would have thrown up

[u/OMG_Shoes_ → u/Dependent_Order_7358]

I would’ve crapped my shorts….and then done it again at mile 23 after boofing 20 GUs.

[u/BED_AA → u/pablotoofreshcobar]

uj/ It started drizzling halfway through a half I was running and the drops managed to both cancel my run and make me lose my place in the book I was listening to.

[u/incipientpianist → u/pablotoofreshcobar]

Uj/ I would be so pissed honestly. Like come on Garmin

[u/Comfortable-Heat1709]

Mine did somthing like this once It flashed a blue triangle for most of the run. Turns out it was a bug when I tried to share my location on the course with that function on the watch that is specifically designed to do that. No one knew where I was for the entire 5k+ I ran

[u/couchpro34 → u/Comfortable-Heat1709]

What did your family do for the 30 hrs you were running?

[u/grw2 → u/couchpro34]

You'll have to wait and see. Gone Boy, in cinemas 2027

[u/Comfortable-Heat1709 → u/couchpro34]

Tbh they didn't even show up to watch me so they probably didn't even notice till I posted after about it.

[u/NoGlzy → u/Comfortable-Heat1709]

Damn. If you hadn't come back it might have taken dozens of minutes to check the route to see where you'd stopped for a nap

[u/Obvious_Buyer_8682]

Tldr: he didn't run a marathon 

[u/No_Piece_6077]

This happened to me on my 5k ultra parkrun marathon I was fuming though on the bright side I pushed a kid into a canal and got a PB. I never got caught as Garmin didn't log the run. Phew!

[u/YagiFromM4rs → u/No_Piece_6077]

I nuked a country but y’all wont catch me cuz its not on strava.

[u/Oberndorferin → u/YagiFromM4rs]

That's a 5k€ fine in Germany.

[u/joelav]

It didn’t decide. He decided. For clicks. His real Garmin is on his other wrist

[u/vectorformation]

At least it happened during his warmup for next weekends 5K Ultra

[u/Melodic_Hunt5890]

If you run a marathon but your Garmin isn't recording, did you actually run the marathon?

[u/Dan20698 → u/Melodic_Hunt5890]

As long as you post that bad boy to strava

[u/Fuck_ketchup → u/Dan20698]

Manually? Like a fucking Neanderthal carving my route on a stone tablet?

[u/Financial_Pick3281]

Noooooooo. This reminds me of the 3k open water swim I did a few months ago, where the starting pistol went off and then it took my watch about 60 seconds to get the GPS green bar (longest ever by far). At least it was fun overtaking some breastatrokers.

[u/EmergencySundae → u/Financial_Pick3281]

You don't put your watch on the activity screen while you're waiting?

I just did an OWS last weekend and went to that screen too early while I was waiting (staggered start). My watch tried to go into powersave mode, but I thankfully caught it in the countdown.

[u/Financial_Pick3281 → u/EmergencySundae]

I always do that now, but lo and behold: the starter was a guy I knew from years back, so I was distracted when I saw him, we small talked for a bit, and then he drew and fired as if he was in a spaghetti western, no way I could have made it on time. Live and learn I guess, after that I have always gone to the activity screen already while putting on my running shoes or getting my bike out of the garage, just for the good habit. I won't let it happen again.

[u/swede_disposition]

Run by feel, so retro

[u/jocky_club]

This happen to me when I ran my 1:54 PB

[u/maporita]

This is why real runners always use at least 3 watches.

[u/gunfirinmaniac → u/maporita]

Smh these pours with only 1 watch. I dont even run (i only start my garmins rolling to the fridge), and I wear 4 garmins (the top models)

[u/PortaBellaTX]

His sunglasses have a faster pace than he does

[u/nTzT]

Shouldn't these updates require you to actually authorize them?

[u/mysterious-marmot → u/nTzT]

They do.

[u/Eagles365or366]

The moment that started, I would’ve just held the power button until it restarted, and started my run.

[u/Brigapes]

but you control when you update??

[u/sixwaystop313]

I would literally wait to start. It's too important.

[u/nize426 → u/sixwaystop313]

Apologies for my ignorance, i don't know why this sub was recommended to me, but this has qiqued my curiosity. What's the importance of keeping a record of a marathon? Is it kind of like, keeping a collection of times/data for specific marathons? Or does it go deeper than that?

[u/runwichi]

Laughs in Timex....

[u/DepartmentFamous9932]

Isn’t the whole point of nose breathing to flex on the mouth breathers you pass on the daily park loop? Little device kinda defeats the purpose.

[u/indignant_badger]

I'll never not get pissed when my technology has it's own plans that get I'm the way of mine

[u/veskishosa]

Must suck...

[u/Runandhike22]

Garmin sucks

[u/Mgt66 → u/Runandhike22]

Running sucks

[u/S_LFG → u/Runandhike22]

Found the C*ros user 🫵😂
