Playing With Our Sports Data With Eleventy and Strava
Reading Time: 3 minutesThis month Apple wants me to walk ten point three kilometres with the Apple Watch 10 times. Garmin and Strava want me to cycle 8000m uphill, 800km horizontally, and more.

Having a Cold with Garmin and Apple
Reading Time: < 1 minuteYesterday I woke up feeling tired and both Garmin and Apple said that I neded to rest. What I thought were allergies turned out to be a one day cold, I hope. According to the Apple Watch my HRV crashed down and in the evening I definitely had a cold/flu dream.…

Back to Suunto From Garmin
Reading Time: 2 minutesI like Garmin Connect and the Garmin Instinct 2. Both the app, and the device are good and they’re reliable for tracking sports on a daily basis. Having said this, I felt the urge to slide back to my Suunto devices and the Suunto app. For many, many, many years I was…

Garmin Connect, Explore 2 and Instinct 2 Experimentation
Reading Time: < 1 minuteGarmin connect isn’t as smart as I thought. I thought that if I used the Explore 2 with a heart rate belt, that I would get training status and training readiness. For a week I was tracking with the Explore 2 as my primary tracker. Data is missing. It’s a shame…

On Strava Being Irrational
Reading Time: 2 minutesIt is irrational and absurd for Strava to sue one of its’ most important providers of data, Garmin. Every run, hike, climb and other sport that I have done for years comes from either Suunto, Garmin, Apple Watch or another brand. Garmin is huge in the cycling community. I see people with…

Playing With Strava Premium for a Free Month
Reading Time: 2 minutesYears ago, when Strava was newer, and more appealing I eventually decided to pay for Strava because I wanted to support the project. I wanted to help make them sustainable. The same is true with Zwift. When both of them got VC funding I ended my subscriptions rather than renewing for another…
