The Running Thread --2025

So another feeding thing we figured out the hard way: For the Springtime Surprise weekend, we stayed at the Wilderness Lodge and got Club Lounge access, which worked great for post race breakfasts and dinners, but the dessert service was 8pm-10pm and the main thing there was warm cobbler with ice cream. We adjust our sleeping patterns weeks out from a race weekend so that by the race week we are going to bed at 8. So we tried having the cobbler right at 8, then heading straight to bed. That didn't work too well as we both had trouble sleeping after having all that sugar. So now we know to stop eating early enough (around 6) to match sleeping times.

As others have noted, you can toggle through the different screens while you are on your run. You can set up intervals on the watch itself or you can create a plan that includes intervals. You cannot, however, switch in and out of plans or intervals on any particular run. But it is easy enough to finish the one run and start the next one.

ETA: you can skip an interval too. Sometimes I just run through the walk interval or walk through the run interval.

We are setting up a tempo run for Wednesday by programming it as a workout in the COROS app. I am hearing a lot of swearing from your end of the table, so I am thinking it's not too easy? I think I have mine figured out...

I really should have read the instructions first instead of just trying to wing it. If anyone else has struggled to program complicated runs from Billy to your Coros watch, please feel free to DM for helpful hints.

My goal for Disney weekends is to always eat dinner early enough so that the final pre-race elimination can happen before we leave the hotel room in the morning. (Talk about something that non-runners would never consider!)

That is also a major consideration for me when adjusting sleep times for race weekends, also need to adjust meal times and the time for that! Can't have it happen during the race!
