I would just relax, and trust that the chip time if your race time. What's the point of stressing about it.On GPS issues, I don’t work in miles but in km. Would you still recommend lap button at every mile in areas with dodgy GPS to recalibrate? The halfs I have done only had mile markers and km every 5k. I could set the Garmin to miles of course but then my pace etc. really mean anything to me. I don’t think I have the brain capacity to work out the conversion in my head during a race.
Oh I meant more as a benchmark during the race for pace etc. I don’t care about distance/ chip time etc. I just know that when the GPS goes the pace suddenly goes wild!I would just relax, and trust that the chip time if your race time. What's the point of stressing about it.
My running club was £20 a year, or £10 if you joined in the 2nd half of the year. We had one qualified coach, they've got a second now, bargain price!I pay £10 a month at my running club. Different runs everyday of the week you can join. And a qualified coach writes you a plan and checks in weekly to change as needed!
I’ve also used the Hal app in the past for marathon training and that worked great for me.
For London I had the mile splits on my forearm as I normally work in ks and I am pants at doing the sums in my head, even when I’m not running a marathon! Good job as my Garmin was on one from the start and the ks were well out from the 5k markers: I somehow managed to run under 26.2 miles according to my Garmin if we went by GPS then I guess I didn’t even run a marathonOh I meant more as a benchmark during the race for pace etc. I don’t care about distance/ chip time etc. I just know that when the GPS goes the pace suddenly goes wild!
A cheers. I did think notes on the arm might be the way to go. Under 26.2 is annoying! I already feel cheated when my parkrun shows up on Strava at 4.99For London I had the mile splits on my forearm as I normally work in ks and I am pants at doing the sums in my head, even when I’m not running a marathon!

my sister has 2 PBs - she calls them her OG PB and her Post(nephew’s name) PB! I don’t think she would ever say postpartumGlad to see someone has finally called out trackclubbabe on the postpartum thing. Postpartum lasts 6 weeks or so. She's just a woman who had a baby now like. Which is fine, describe the challenges you face as a result of that, but it's not postpartum!
I think it depends how you define postpartum, if you limit it to 6-8 weeks after birth then postpartum depression 6 months after birth wouldn't be a thing. The person who defined it as the time it takes for your body to return to almost normal was obviously a man.Glad to see someone has finally called out trackclubbabe on the postpartum thing.

I work in km so went online and checked what the mile splits throughout the race and equivalent minutes per mile pace would be and then what time I’d need to hit 5k/10k/half/30k etc. totally forgot to write it on my arm but just about remembered them, you can also get paper pacing bracelets with them printed on or temporary tattoos. I had my screen set to elapsed time, average pace and lap pace with the intention of hitting the lap button at the mile markers but I totally forgot in the moment I did try some running maths from the mile marker and elapsed time but got lost eventually because my maths skills are average at best and the target pace wasn’t a round number I do think only having elapsed time and some paces (which may have been out but were a guide) but not having the distance showing was good as my watch was beeping ahead of the markers when I passed each 5k one. I not only didn’t stop my watch when I hit the distance, I left it running for a few seconds over the line as I didn’t want my watch time lower than my chip time on Strava obviously it gave me a marathon PB on there that was faster than I ran but that’s not the actual PB do these clowns think they can do a GFA application off their garmin time or Something?For London I had the mile splits on my forearm as I normally work in ks and I am pants at doing the sums in my head, even when I’m not running a marathon!
