Seeing as this thread is just asking for some willy waving here’s my Garmin data from the past 6 or so months
That’s pretty poor willy waving 😉
Mine from the first few months of the year that I’ve actually put on Connect:
Count: 156 Activities
Distance: 2,836.08 mi
Time: 195:24:45 h:m:s
Elevation Gain: 303,758 ft
Avg Speed: 14.5 mph
Avg HR: 160 bpm
Avg Run Cadence: —
Avg Bike Cadence: 86 rpm
Calories: 207,626 C
Avg Power: 203 W
Max Power: 1,050 W
Max Avg Power: 252 W
That’s obviously biased by the road. However… off road, it’s totally irrelevant IMO. I usually average about 10mph around the Surrey Hills, but if it was 8 I’d not read anything into it, conditions change so much.
If you want to know if you’re fit, try racing, otherwise, as long as you can keep up with your mates and are happy with the pace WGAS?
Edit: in fact, as a standalone bit of data it’s not that relevant on the road either! A hard interval session may have a slow average speed, whilst an easy spin with a nice tail wind can be good and quick!
