I ran my first half marathon in over 4 years this morning. I used the Garmin suggested workouts to train for the race and felt very well prepared. My default is just to do lots of easy miles when training, so I appreciated the various types of runs the watch suggested.

My initial goal when I signed up for the race was 1:45, and this morning my Garmin said I was in 1:42 shape. I went out with a goal of 1:40 and finished around 1:39:30, even with a slight detour that added about 2 tenths of a mile to my race. 😂

I’ll have a pretty light week next week and think about what to train for next.

35 km this week, though I may run later today. I’ve had higher weeks lately but have a half marathon coming up so I’m in the taper phase

I’ve got a half marathon coming up in a few weeks (my longest race since a marathon in 2019). I’m near the end of my “peak phase” on my Garmin training plan so another week or two of highish mileage then a taper to the race.

My current goal is sub 1:45. My Garmin says I’m in 1:43:xx shape. I’m not sure how much weight to give the watch’s prediction since I’ve only done 5K races so far this year.

Personally, I’ve had very few issues with apps not working, and banking/productivity apps haven’t given me issues on CalyxOS, but your mileage may vary
