Yes, more Garmin tips and yes to lactate threshold. I’d say Sarah and Mo.

I recommend creating copies of the Run activity for specific types of runs, such as parkruns, easy runs, long runs. You can then set unique alerts for each type of run, whether you want auto lap alerts, and which data screens you want (and in what order) for each activity. For an easy run, you may be interested in staying in Zone 2, so set a high HR alert for Z2, set the alert frequency to 1 minute and customize a HR zone data screen. For intervals, you may choose to have no alerts, but may want to prioritize pace, power and HR data in one data screen. If you use headphones, you can have most of this data narrated to you without having to look at your watch all the time.

Wonderful… just got my Foreunner 965. Keep the videos coming.

[AlbertWeijers]

Discard lap!!! Great tip. Find my phone I use all the time. What I also got was to set my trail running shoes as default for trail running, now I call everything just running. Good video, Andy.

[janeenright]

"undo lap" is what I have been searching for for weeks 😆 hopefully this is on the 55 model

[AngellicAkima]

Pace Pro is an absolute game changer with being able to see how far ahead of your target you are in real time

[planesptr]

Yes, more Garmin tips please. And my vote for the lactate threshold test is Andy and Sarah

[jillolsen]

Came here for the science and got a tech lesson :) Great video as a new Garmin user from Apple watch

[beachs]

Wow, I didn’t know I could set Run/Walk or HR zones on my FR 265!
Thank you so much, great video!!

[JonathanKoscik]

First watch video that was useful. Thanks!

[rebeccametcalf]

I learned about the undo lap button in a recent podcast, I think. Really useful lol I'm always hitting the lap button by accident

[sireynolds]

Never knew about the lap undo. Definitely will find that helpful

Is be happy to see some more videos on Garmin forerunner hints and tips

[DiggerPrints]

The sadest part about this video, is the feature I didnt know I had I needed the most. "Find My Phone" this is seriously the most important tip I have ever received from the running channel hahaha.

[vivienblack]

We recently discovered track back whilst running an out and back on the trails. Very useful!

[sharkster]

Yes to the Lactate Threshold Test and more vids like this

[jamesmitchell]

A good one I find is when I've planned a route in strava and synced that to my Garmin...I can setup a run and use the planned route on my run and it even prompts me audio on my headphones of say an upcoming turn

[Rustyfox]

Good luck explaining this science to Rick 🤭
Always been interested in which satellite setting to use.
Good job Andy 👊🏻👌🏻

[run.rahul.runitall]

Not only find my phone, there is find my watch too. I used it few days back. Very useful.

[yvette-rebeccaneary]

I had no idea about the light hold -menu !! Amazing that will come in handy 😂

[Pappamea]

These are great! Keep em coming! 😊
But I have a FR 55 and it doesn’t have a lot of these features unfortunately.
