70 tips for a parkrun 5k PB next weekend. I started this list of tips well over 8 years ago and it snowballed from a top 10 tips to a top 70 tips and is continually updated and I’m refreshing and resharing it here for a new audience. It’s geared towards parkrun which is a…
Detailed STRYD Review, Running Power Meter, updated for 2019. Discount Code & Promotion if seasonally available
Long Term Favero ASSIOMA Review (Duo model) – yeah, it’s pretty good really. Very, very few issues and none worth moaning about.
When you use Garmin Connect/Express on your computer to install a data field or app from the online CIQ store then you will probably find the experience to have been OK but certainly not a WOW moment. Plus when you are in a car in the middle of a field and you want to add,…
Interesting news from Humon whose Hex Muscle Oxygen sensor now supports Watch OS5 from Apple Some of you will perhaps also remember that STRYD is now supported on Watch OS. In one sense this is not that interesting as I’m guessing it will initially only result in a relatively small number of sales. However,…
Garmin coach was introduced almost a year ago relatively quietly. Even at its launch it offered tantalisingly ‘adaptive’ training plans. Potentially it would re-schedule workouts during your ever-changing week at work and maybe even adapt an individual workout on-the-fly should your run start off either too fast or too slow. I had a look at…
In this Coros VERTIX Review, we revisit the Coros sports and adventure platform and delve into the details of the limited number of new features that are unique to the new Vertix ‘Adventure Watch‘. Coros has released a couple of good sports watches already but this time they are going up against the Fenix 5X…
Mobvoi Ticwatch S2 Review – A nice enough ‘value’ WearOS smartwatch with lots of apps, smarts and ruggedness for sports
I’ve been thinking for a few weeks (dangerous, I know) that Firstbeat should come up with some sort of advanced, online, physiological, analytics platform, a bit like the Firstbeat ATHLETE software of old but on the net and still geared at the consumer athlete. My subsequent thought-train petered out when it came to figuring out…
There are two sports watch reviews to come this week (hopefully). I’m pretty sure that one watch is the same as a review that DCR will release at the same time. And I’m pretty sure that the other one won’t be covered by him – not a Garmin and not an announcement ie already released,…

The new Garmin Edge 530 is a sensibly-priced, feature-packed GPS bike computer by Garmin – you knew that. Generally, I like it a lot so far and I would still stick by some of my earlier comments that it is the benchmark, performance bike computer against which all others should be compared. However, it’s not…
Yay ! Lots of people are going to be happy that Polar will be including manual footpod calibration in the V4 release for October 2019. It’s taken a while, with pressure and polite requests from many sources. October is still a little bit too far away for my liking as I had hoped to use…
Wiggle (UK) have been shipping the Edge 530 for a couple of days and it’s in stock with the 830 available imminently on pre-order. There is stock of the Forerunner 245 and Forerunner 945 waiting to go as well. If you regularly buy stuff then Wiggle probably has the best loyalty scheme in the UK…
Being an unpaid 3rd party CIQ app developer probably makes it hard to keep up with making your apps support the latest, greatest Garmin watch. Especially when 5 are released at almost the same time, as was the case recently. So your Forerunner 945 owners may have already found that your favourite watch face or…
A couple of clicks and you could win a pair of SunGod sunglasses, either the Classics2, Renegades or PaceBreakers models. I reviewed the PaceBreakers from a sporty perspective (link to: SunGod PaceBreakers Review) and looked at the Classics model too (link to: SunGod Classics Review – Classics2 ). Recently I announced the Winter Sungod…
I’m probably going to end up loving the 945 but in the pursuit of balance here are the things that have mildly annoyed me so far. Gripes It took a long while to setup but that was more due to the fact there are more features to setup. Setup is probably improved in reality over…
XERT recently announced a major update for their platform initially via their iOS app. Who? XERT offer lots of training and coaching functionality around those of us who want to train with power. It’s designed for CYCLING but works with STRYD for running equally as well. What’s the big deal? ‘Normal’ training with power has…
Coros have just announced a new white colour for their 46mm APEX premium construction multisport & running watch. As well as the new colour there are also subtle changes to the watch face as shown on this image of the two watches side-by-side. The watch face has two concentric circles marked around it and ths…
Wiggle’s mid-season is on for those of you in the EU. The links below are specifically for the UK but you can change the country flag at the top of the Wiggle page and off you go. I seem to have somehow tied myself up with Wiggle with the launch of the new Forerunners/Edges which…
Fitbit’s Q1.2019 results are in and things seem to be trending like the previous quarter. The numbers, linked further below, show that the loss is about the same but on a higher turnover. the words are a bit more interesting than the numbers this time and here are the ones that are the most interesting…
Polar have just announced the Polar Vantage V Titan. It is NOT a major announcement and the Vantage V TITAN is just like the V but with PREMIUM MATERIALS. That’s a TITANIUM case which makes the TITAN super-light…oh, and a new two coloured strap that has a textile feel but which is made of silicone.…
