Hi, so I’ve been running fairly consistently for the last 6 months and have just started trying to follow the suggested run that my garmin forerunner 55 suggests. The problem is, the runs it is suggesting are supposed to be base runs, but are at a significantly faster pace than what I’m used to and I can barely finish them. My heart rate goes well into zone 4 for the pace that it suggests (>170bpm).
Does anyone know why this would be the case? There should be enough data in my watch from all the runs I’ve completed in the last 6 months to accurately give a base run suggestion.
Thanks
Edit: I’ve just read another post similar to this where they suggested to change the effort indicator from pace to HR which seems to make more sense. I think my watch has overestimated my VO2 max lol
