Pace pace pace

I have my second tempo run today. I really struggle to maintain the correct pace. I tend to run faster and then over correct. It tends to average out. But the AI-bot coach has already told me off once. Today’s run is only a ten second difference! How do people do this? (My Apple Watch tends to lag pacing a little too.)

Watch vs Phone GPS

I am training for a half marathon and am trying to improve my pacing with Runna. I am finding the pacing data to be slow to update and I have heard that it’s inaccurate. Is it better if I run with the phone? I have the Apple Watch 8.

C-line seatpost, lights and rack

I have a 6-speed C-line on subscription from Brompton. It has dynamo light front and rear and a seat-post that extends twice. It is awful to wheel around when folded.

I want to buy new one on C2W in June. I tested a C-line from my local Balfes today. I was surprised they were not standard and it was still impossible to wheel folded even with larger wheels.

Questions:

  1. Extended seat post or the telescopic?
  2. Dynamo lights, BeSeen or both? (I like the dynamo but maybe I’m being old-fashioned.)
  3. Does the roller rack make a big difference?

I’m also trying to avoid getting redundant parts. Irritating to buy two seat posts rather than the incremental cost of the one you need.

▲ 2 r/runna

Completed my first training today. I enjoyed the training but the sync with Apple is really fiddly. I ran without my phone and Runna on my watch.

  1. There is no SPM data on the watch whilst I train or the app when I am back. This is key for me right now and I thought this was a differentiator with COOPAH so quite frustrated. Am I missing something?
  2. Runna does not sync my completed runs to Apple Health or Fitness. I’ve tried in Settings and in the app. The instructions are not clear. Sync competed workouts is grayed out in Runna. Sync upcoming works.
  3. There is less data on Runna than Apple Fitness. Which seems bizarre for a paid app.

I’m slightly allergic to syncing across multiple apps (and paying multiple subscriptions) but would love to make this work. Any advice welcome. Sorry if I am being dumb.

👋 i’m training for a half marathon in four months. I’m trying to build my base of longer runs. But I’m struggling to keep my pace down. I consistently hit 5'30"/km, 144SPM, 163BPM.

I am 6’3” with a naturally long stride and think this might be the problem. I’m also in my late forties and don’t want to destroy my knees.

Claude suggests I shorten my stride and up the tempo - which I expect I will find difficult to do.

Does anyone have similar experience? Any Apple Watch apps you would recommend? (I would like to avoid another subscription.)

Thanks in advance!
