Replacing the Battery in a Garmin Forerunner Watch

posted 5 months ago

The battery in my Forerunner 305 no longer holds a charge and I am looking at replacing the battery myself. Has anybody ever replaced the battery in a Garmin Forerunner themselves before?

I looked into sending it back but it would cost almost about as much as buying a new one which is not ideal.

I found a couple good “tutorials”:

And just wondering if anyone has done anything similar or have any tips on doing this.

I’d like to hear your experiences.

Harry’s Spring Run Off (my first race with a beard)

posted 1 year ago

Just the other day(on Tuesday) I was smart enough to check my running calendar and it turned out that Harry’s Spring Run Off is this weekend, Saturday April 2nd (tomorrow — I’ve been trying to write this post all week) so I am pretty excited. First race of the season for me. It should be a great race as it has been sold out for a few weeks now so it’s going to be a full house!

On Tuesday I wasn’t even sure what I should aim to pace for this race. Most of my runs are 8+ miles not max 5mi or 8km. I came back on from Tuesday’s run feeling pretty good having overshot the 8km finish making it 9km but I ran the 9km in 39min with a 4.21/km pace. So I came back with sub 35 min finish time which is going to be helpful for tomorrow and pacing. I need to make sure I have a good warmup as I can not spare any warmup time during the race.  Having a good idea of what I am capable of running I feel I can probably push to around a 4/km pace throughout which will ~32min. I know High Park is pretty hilly so I am unsure how this will effect me and this last minute and sporadic goal time but I am just really excited to scramble around High Park. I do have the bonus of training in the park so I could be over analyzing this. Below is the 8km course map.

This evening I biked over to The New Balance Toronto Store on Bloor to pick up my race kit I than took a few laps around High Park on my bike and made my way home.

Here’s a great blog post with some history of the run for the 33rd Harry’s Spring Run Off.

This is the first race I’ve ran with a beard so maybe it’s going to be like a good luck thing? Who knows right.

Anyways if anyone is looking for race info it can be found on the run’s details page.

Wishing everyone a great race tomorrow keep it fun enjoy the park and Toronto! Maybe we’ll high-five during the race, it would be fun!
