Running

A 15-year-old girl from Oegstgeest collapsed about four kilometres from the finish line. Race organisers had set a minimum age of 16, but the registration system relies on runners entering their own details.

Power law models are great for extrapolating—for example, predicting your half marathon time from a 5k and a 10k, or predicting your 400m time from an 800m and a 1500m time. They perform much better at this task than the critical speed model, and my power law calculator also includes some useful features for prediction.

Some runners sneer at recovery runs, as if anything slow is a sign of weakness or wasted effort. For the sub-3 runner, though, nothing could be further from the truth. Easy miles are not junk - they are one of the hidden engines of endurance.

More than 2,100 parkrunners and supporters have written to MPs urging the UK government to defend trans-inclusive community organisations after the legal group Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) threatened action against organisations like Parkrun.

Kenya's Sabastian Sawe has become the first man to run a marathon in under two hours, winning the London Marathon with a time of 1:59:30.

BBC Sport speaks to two runners with opposing views on the fact there will be no single-use cups or bottles at this weekend's Paris Marathon.

Hi, i'm looking at a replacement for my garmin forerunner 305.

Something that fits running and swimming, preferablu not from usa, has good privacy, and .... Can be read without my reading glasses.

Most can be found in comparisons, but not readability without reading glasses.

But I can't be the only one ;) Any recomendations?

update:

Other than gadgetbridge, there seems to be as good as no way of avoiding the manufacturers software/servers. After reading a bit, polar is (for me) the way to go. Privacy policy look quite good and next to nothing requires 3rd party connections.

Now indeed, many seem to be phasing out MIP in favor of amoled because -in my opinion- the brighter colors so -again in my opinion- form over function. I landed on the polar pacer pro and just ordered myself one. (Currently everywhere on sale)
