Why Garmin
Why Garmin.
The GPS watch that every serious runner I know wears. Garmin's Running Dynamics — cadence, vertical oscillation, ground contact time — are what I use to dial in form. They're the details that turn a 2:50 runner into a 2:42 runner at 43.
Why Goals
Why Goals.
Forerunner 965 on my wrist for every workout for two years. Connect data pulls directly into the coaching templates I use with athletes. If Garmin wants a masters athlete showing how Running Dynamics translate into PRs, that athlete already exists.
Why now
Why now.
Garmin is the overwhelming incumbent in the watch category — but the brand's athlete storytelling skews young and trail. A 43-year-old road marathoner with a 2:42 and three years of public Connect data broadens the Garmin narrative into the masters category your competitors are starting to chase.
Why first partnership
Why this should be the first.
Easiest yes in the stack — I already wear it, already train with it, already recommend it to clients. The first partnership isn't about sending me a watch. It's about formalizing a relationship so the Strava + Connect data becomes public content the brand can actually point at.
Make it official
First partnership, starting here.
Goals reads and replies personally — usually within the week. Small deal, product trial, one-off campaign — pick your starting point.
