Just curious in how people are calculating it and in what ranges are they training. Since there isn't a super clear target and definition I often see some variance that may not seem like much but for me would mean somewhat significant difference in weekly load/fatigue.

- Do you count walking rests between reps in weekly volume? Since I don't pause my watch they end up counting in my weekly metrics. For me right now that's almost 30min a week (in a total of 6,5 hours of weekly volume)

- I am aiming for 25% of weekly volume in Sub T measured by time. If I calculate by weekly distance it actually comes up to ~30%. Are most people aiming for something closer to 20%?

As I said, I know a lot of the replies will naturally be something like "don't stress about it, a few % points here and there won't matter" "there is no specific target, whatever works for you" but I am just curious in seeing what people are doing. Since I can get 25% or 34% depending on how I'm calculating (time/with rests vs distance/without rests) I sometimes wonder if maybe I should be aiming for something closer to 20%-30% depending on the metric or even lower

Hi,

Been using my PACE3 for over a year and have been extremely happy with it. However, for the last few months I've just been getting completely wrong altitude data from it.

I'll be at sea level (literally touching the sea) and the watch will show me 40 meters of altitude. i'll go for a run in a very flat course that I know has at most 10 meters of elevation across and the activity will have upwards of 100 meters of elevation gain. Since I upload my activities to Strava I usually will use the "Correct Elevation" feature they have and it wil fix it but it's just a pain in the ass to have to do that manually for every single run. Also, this just invalidates a lot of metrics within the Coros App that I could use but aren't fixed by this Strava function.

Anyone having a similar experience? Any fixes?

I usually walk something between 5k-10k steps outside of running on a daily basis due to commuting and running errands. I don't track it nor input it into Strava/Intervals.icu because I never thought it would be relevant and also because it is just constant across time. However, during my last two vacations I started tracking every single walk I took (mostly to have a record of all the different streets I passed, nothing training related) and it got automatically uploaded. I was surprised to see that by walking something around 40k steps/day on average during these vacations I maintained or even increased training load a bit even when decreasing my running volume (I was running something around 3hrs/week instead of the current 6.5hrs/week).

I understand the math behind it but it feels off. Do you think measures like Load/TRIMP get screwed when we use it for walking at a very slow pace? Should I disconsider it or am I actually able to gain/maintain some fitness by walking that much even if it's at a leisurely pace over the course of several hours with lots of breaks in the middle?
