The Garmin has to be snug against your wrist in order to maintain a steady reading. I think the movement of your arms while running causes some inaccuracy in and of itself ...then if you wear it over your sleeve as I tend to do in the winter, that'll really throw it off.<br /><br />findingfabulousatfiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13386356418087346612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-15978949760534070652018-03-13T11:12:06.674-04:002018-03-13T11:12:06.674-04:00My Garmin gives me varying calorie data as well.

I would assume it's a calculation based on heart rate and distance. However, my Garmin looses my heart rate often. Apparently, it thinks I've laid down in the road for a long while on many runs (if you look at the graph). So, I know the calorie calculation would be wrong. It'd be nice to have accurate info! Good luck at you train for your marathon! Thanks for linking.
