How To Use Your Garmin Running Watch

Beautiful accent 😂

Misleading video. It says how to use it

I just bought a Garmin watch and had never used one before. This video was perfect! And Sarah is my favorite presenter. Great information.

Excellent video, well done. Thank you

Can a Garmin forerunner 965 be set to auto-splits and also take manual splits, but show both types in Garmin connect after the run is done? I tried this the other day and it did not seem to work.

I have the vivoactiv 5, how do I get the heart rate end the zones in the bottom of the first watch face? I can only get the watch face with the big one.

I just bought the Forunner 265, I just want to know how to get to the home screen? How do I turn on the touch screen? How do I reset after a run for a new run? All other videos say go to the "menu" button and choose "system" There is no "menu" button, there is no "system" button. Please help!

petes race pace hi vis timer widget is brilliant especially if you need an at a glance screen

Thank you! Suggestions for viewing pace in both mile and km simultaneously?

Extremely useful video and well produced 👏

So now "using a standard feature" is called a hack?

Use all of these features my venu also has but looking how the next version of the features work in a better watch for later in the year. So thanks for the tips.

Yay now I use the same watch as Sarah! And Andy too I think 🤔

How does Garmin Coach compare to Run App in terms of coaching features?

I bought the Forerunner 165 to improve my health and reduce my body fat, my current VO2 is poor, I am totally out of shape, I use the daily recommendations. Are the daily recommendations good for my goals or do you have any tips?

Damn she's cute

The thing is when i use the ‘%of heart rate reserve’ methodology my zone 2 range becomes 136-153 instead of 119-139. I don’t mind it as i struggle to keep my easy runs in zone 2 but always wonder what if i am over training. Any tips?

Fantastic video! Great information; presented very well. Thank you!

Why sometimes the distance between the data from the watch and the data set by the organizer does not match? how can they be improved?

Can you get your park run bar code on the watch like coros ?

thanks for sharing this video, the watch can be used with RUNNA or its better to have the Garmin coach?

Your pace of talking is exhausting. Slow down and relax. Life is not a race to the finish

You should not rely on the integrated HR sensor though if you plan on training with HR zones. It's simply not as accurate/adaptive as a strap. So if you want to train just buy a simple strap, they're not so expensive and I believe most of them are supported now with recent Garmin watches as they support both ANT+/Bluetooth

You recommend me to buy the forerunner 55 or the 255 to run from 5k to 21k??

I needed this!! Thank you! ❤

What HRV is so impressive! Mine is so low in comparison, always around 50 😆

I love my nearly new Garmin 255 (Christmas present)
Great for sleep-sleeping heart rate(resting HR)-Running heart rate.
But when I put the running timer screens up. I can’t get it to start timing!!!
So I run with just the heart rate monitor function! What gives?

Waitin for my venu 3s to come in so watching all the watch content i can

Neeeed this video thank you! The ad people are dumb so many of us runners bought our watch learned the very simple
Basics and haven’t figured anything out since (I’m sure Rick is like me)
Great video as always

This is exactly the content I need! I love my Garmin but I get overwhelmed with all the data and everything - would love to see videos about how to use navigation features, favourite watch faces, straps/bands, etc ❤️

Useful pieces of advice! Sadly, I've been stuck with my VO2max for some years and decided to get an Instinct 2 and ECG strap with load focus, training status and recommended workouts with training readiness on top. Been keeping my load focus in check and doing the recommended workouts - with very little effect in terms of improving. I mean I like to run, but it's definitely not changing anything about my VO2max. It's been 52 when I've started three years ago (without doing cardio, just work as a farmer) and guess where it is now, with three to four weekly runs? 52 ...

I got a Forerunner 965 a few weeks ago and it’s awesome. The maps are super handy.

Very usefull video. Thanks 😊

Apart from pace and ❤ rate, everything else is pretty useless. Spend your time NOT looking at your watch so much is also healthy!

Do you think you could do a video about hr zones, that would really help as I find then quite confusing 😅. Thank you and love the content 👍👏

Can the training effect be used for strength training?

Perfect, thank you! I’m collecting my 255s on Monday and I’m even more excited now!

Wish Garmin would allow the workout screen to be customized on the Forerunner 965!

Instead of creating different screens I create different profiles for each type of run. I am too focused on running to change screens mid run. PS how much caffeine did you feed Sarah before recording this video? 😂

I'm really impressed by the contents of this video!

My favourite screen for zone running is just HR and distance, no times or paces

Looking to buy the FR55 since the price dropped under $200 since the new release of the FR165 🤔 very helpful video, ty

Rick is going to be blown away by this!

I keep it simple, I can hardly read my watch without stopping to put my specs on first. Ideally I'd like a watch as big as my arm..

great content!

I have a Coros. Better than Garmin

I used Garmin Coaching - you select from 3 recognized coaches (I used Jeff) which is free and structures training towards a target state (a certain 10k/5k target time, or just completing a 10k or 5k - it even does HM) after each session it will adjust the next session based on the workout you did and how you are tracking to your goal (usually over say 12 weeks). Theyre loaded into your Garmin connect calendar (and your watch) and typically have a hill session, interval session, weekly long run, and the occasional effort measure. on your watch you receive either whispers if your watch does them, or simply vibrates and notifies what you need to do next during your run. So if you need to target a ceratin speed, it will provide a barometer to how you are pacing to that. IT will then buzz or whisper when that goal is reached and when rests can be taken.

From this I learned how my garmin can help me with structuring my runs rather than just running flat out all the time and expecting to go faster... I distilled a couple of runs that worked for me, and i set these up manually. Ive also added in the run you suggested @Sarah with the 5 min, 4 min 3 min etc . ( ie Tired leg intervals ) to reduce my 5k time. After week 3 Ive already noticed a difference and my VO2 Max has already increased. I rarely just run now, each run I do is constructive to my goals. With the big effort runs like a Parkrun or a 10k where I see my progress. Much better running this way.

what a very good video.
very good presentation, good sound, good light and very nice editing.
really enjoyed it.🇳🇱

For longer runs/races (ultras) I find the Climb Pro screen a blessing and a curse 😂 It's nice to know you're 9n climb 6/8 and how much of the climb you have left. Not so nice when it's climb 1/14 and it tells you that this climb is 4km long 😬 Also, I set alerts to remind me to eat and drink - it's just one less thing to think about on long events 😊
