Garmin Training Load and Polar Cardio Load are designed to help runners prevent over training and take in to account their sleep recovery, but should they really be guiding you? Training load is usually looking at the impact of a single workout and with all the technology in GPS watches it now takes in to account HR , VO2 Max, sleep and the type of workout to determine the load, which then goes in to calculating the overall training status your watch displays. Cardio Load Status uses your average daily load from the past 28 days Let’s breakdown the Garmin Training Statuses. Suunto watches give you a number of scores from sleep quality to fitness level (VO2 Max), but don’t give the same training load daily updates.

The pre workout snack or pre workout meal has become a source of confusion for many runners, so today we’re going to clear things up and give you some ideas for what to eat and when! Many runners can go up to 2 hours without additional fuel during low intensity (long slow runs) because the body is focused on utilizing fat rather than carbohydrates for fuel. All of the above foods are still great options, but you may want a little more fuel to keep you going on runs over 13+ miles or 2 hours. A common complaint among distance runners is feeling hungry after a few hours of training and nuts are a great option pre and during the run to provide a little satiating fat and fuel without needing to eat a lot.
