Forerunner 970

**TL;DR:**

Rode 205 km solo in the summer heat (33 °C max). No cramps, no bonk.

Key to success: early start (5 AM), strict fueling (80g carbs/h), smart pacing (mostly Z2), salt tabs, and short but consistent breaks. Didn’t taper, didn’t carb load but had a solid base and lots of planning.

**TL;DR

Hello everyone, since many people seem to be interested in the new Venu 4 and there aren’t many user reviews yet, I thought I’d share my first impressions of this watch.

I wanted to make a post because so far I’ve seen nothing but mixed to negative reviews about the forerunner 970.

After wearing for a good month now, I can confirm, this watch is absolutely amazing. I came from a fenix 5x plus and use for both trail and road running. I debated spending more to get t

I’ve only had the 970 since EOP Tuesday but I’m in love with this watch. The thing is, I tried the FR 265 not once but twice and ended up sending it back or selling it and getting another Apple Watch. My Apple Watch Ultra 2 is now sat on my bedside table ready to be sold. Here are some positives and

I just got up my long-term review on my channel and I cover not only standard stuff like the overview and specs, but a decent bit of testing as well – comparing the Balance 2 in perf

Hope this helps anyone curious about the Race 2 and how it stacks up against other Suunto devices as well as Garmin’s Flagship Forerunner 970.

Seems to be a clear improvement in HR accuracy. It even managed to fight off Garmin’s Forerunner 970 in today’s Hill Rep session (600m of elevation). Seems

My first was a Polar, then a Garmin 735XT. After that I went through Fenix models: 3, 6, and 7. Always the biggest version with sapphire glass, of course.

Along the way, I also had Apple Watches—from Series 5 to 7, and most recently the Apple Watch Ultra 2. So I feel like I have something to say ab
