I think it's just one of those things I need to be careful with and cutting down my runs to three a week seems to have done the trick. It's hard, sometimes I want to go out for an extra run, but I'm sticking to the plan b/c finishing my half is my first priority right now!Karen Orozcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14119330782581322240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8541924416172709944.post-75375637480186668662013-10-17T05:37:31.044-07:002013-10-17T05:37:31.044-07:00I know, I told her that I like her room best in th...I know, I told her that I like her room best in the house now and that she should let me have it! LOL. I usually don't look at mine much except to see my distance, but my son seems to be obsessed with trying to stay on pace.

I've noticed on declines and such that is when it will say I'm running a 7 min mile pace, and (which is not really something I have been able to hold for years) then it will equal out to 8 or 9 and sometimes 10. But like you the mile time is pretty much right on what I assume.<br />The great thing is, when I am running I don't need a Garmin to tell me my pace, I can pretty much tell you at any given time what pace I am running. Sure I might be off on the seconds a bit, but I have (well pre injury) gotten to the point that I can tell you the round about pace and distance even without looking at the Garmin. Guess that is why I don't always take it out with me:) except on my longer runs, I really enjoy it on those even if I try to only glance at it once every 30 or so minutes:)<br />So glad your injury is in the past! Your smart to keep easy and careful with it! I had bursitis in my hip and it has a tendency to want to come back every now and then. But at the first sign if I baby it for a few days it seems to go back to hidden:)Runaway Bridal Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436851320623647572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8541924416172709944.post-23785321436729907262013-10-15T12:30:35.926-07:002013-10-15T12:30:35.926-07:00First of all, I think I will be jealous of your da...First of all, I think I will be jealous of your daughter's room because it already looks like something I would have loved from the sneak peek pic! And the hidden kitty is too cute - seems kitty is cozy and lovin' the room too!<br /><br />Second, my Garmin does fluctuate wildly, and it has been a lot recently. I'll see during a run consistently one pace, but then when I look at my splits after, its way different. And during the run, the splits could be all over the place. So I try not to look at it too much because of this.

It's really interesting when you run side by side with someone else who has one and they have completely different things. I have found that looking at it a few times over the course of a minute will give me a good idea, and my mile split paces are always right. The Garmin only grabs a satellite every 3 sec. or something like that, so if you turn, etc. it messes it up a bit.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00794518757071471089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8541924416172709944.post-72403607412353354182013-10-14T10:22:50.389-07:002013-10-14T10:22:50.389-07:00Well, it's good to know I'm not the only o...Well, it's good to know I'm not the only one! I would just like a general idea of my speed so I can make sure I'm not slowing up TOO much or speeding up too much, but I guess either way I'm going to go at a pace that is comfortable. It really only causes issues when I'm running with my son, he gets annoyed that I'm all over the place.

I know my pace varies a lot when my mind wanders so I'm never sure how much of it is the erratic Garmin vs my erratic legs! - JessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8541924416172709944.post-71381475291332133752013-10-14T06:59:40.035-07:002013-10-14T06:59:40.035-07:00Totally makes sense, I think that's what is ha...Totally makes sense, I think that's what is happening. I also notice that if I change my form at all, this can make me faster or slower. If I shorten my gait but speed up my feet, I seem to go much faster...but then I feel like a prancing pony!

My pace doesn't usually fluctuate too much, unless it is really hot and humid outside and I can feel my legs get tired faster. I also think it's pretty easy to feel in 'the zone' and feel like you're going the same pace, but there is a difference in mentality and actual pace. Does that make sense at all? lolLaurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13450134506494930799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8541924416172709944.post-14425038936840589462013-10-13T17:01:46.804-07:002013-10-13T17:01:46.804-07:00That looks like a great room makeover!

My pace does jump around on my Garmin while running, but normally it's because the Garmin gets a bit lost under trees or with a sharp curve or u-turn. Overall I tend to have a steady pace on my runs unless I'm doing speed work.

I think it has to do with the gps jumping around as it connects to difference satellites. I don't have any suggestions, just to run at what feels like a normal pace for you?
