Recently, Garmin was in the news big time because of problems athletes were having with their watches, facing a ‘Blue Triangle of Death‘ and simply rendering the watch unusable. We wondered: in such a case, is training still done as usual?

Recording workouts has become almost second nature to many athletes. Not for nothing do you regularly hear statements such as ‘If it’s not on Strava, it doesn’t count’. Of course this is often said as a joke, but there is also some truth in it.

Via our Instagram, we asked you what you would do if you did not have a GPS connection. As many as 6 percent of the respndents, a considerable number, say they would skip training in such a case. By far the biggest group, more than half of the respondents, indicated that they would train, but experiencing a bad feeling at the same time: 56 percent. Another 39 percent say they have no problem with it and just train as they normally would.
