word. what's your take the amount of the calories the garmin said you burned? reliable? even close?
i have always thought the garmin numbers were quite high and just disregard them. for running i have always just used 100 calories per mile... i know it's not precise but gives me a rough estimate.
I certainly wouldn't use the Garmin numbers. Your unique economy is important to consider and training log trends and an idea on total caloric intake in comparison is a good way to go. Or get your RQ tested. The 100 cal/ mile is a good number to use. I would guess myself to be closer to ~90. And in the interest of leaning out I would err on the low side.
