I run 50 miles per week, and have done so for the last five or six years. Almost all of these miles are really slow, but I still don’t recover enough, so I’m not able to do any quality tempo/interval/hill workouts.
I only have a Garmin Forerunner 45 without the training effect feature, but consider buting a newer model. Is the training effect reliable enough to make me run less but more clever?
Can the Garmin training effect feature overcome my ocd running?

have you tried not running with the watch?

No. OCD is a serious mental disorder which a watch will not fix.
Honestly, this is downright insane. If you want to do quality tempo, interval, and hill workouts, just do them. -
buy it and find out

Absolutely not. You need structured training and a coach.

Garmin training effect is garbage. There are way too many outside factors that it doesn't take into consideration. Even if you ran the exact same route everyday, it wouldn't be accurate.
