GARMIN RUNNING WATCH BULLYING YOU? EASY FIX - That Running Guy

Aug 13, 2025

This is a quick summary of GARMIN RUNNING WATCH BULLYING YOU? EASY FIX from That Running Guy. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points:

Focus on three pillars: a weekly long run, a weekly speed session, and easy runs sprinkled throughout the week.
Long runs build your aerobic engine – aim for 1.5–2 hours at a conversational pace (about 65–75 % of max HR).
Speed work (1 km or 1 mile repeats) improves leg turnover – run the repeats slightly faster than your 5 k race pace with short recoveries.
Easy runs keep mileage up without extra stress – stay in the conversational zone and increase total weekly mileage by ~10 % each week.

Workout Example:

Long Run – Once a week, run 1.5 – 2 hours on trails or countryside at a comfortable, conversational pace.
Speed Session – Once a week, choose either:
- 1 km repeats: 4–6 reps, 3 min easy jog recovery, each repeat a bit faster than your 5 k pace.
- 1 mile repeats: 4–6 reps, 4 min recovery, also slightly faster than 5 k pace.
Easy Runs – Fill the rest of the week with 2–10 mi runs at conversational effort; monitor heart rate to stay below the “unproductive” zone.

Closing Note: Try these three pillars this week, tweak the paces to fit your current fitness, and track the effort in the Pacing app. You’ll soon stop the watch’s “unproductive” alerts and watch your performance soar!
