[dman14]

been slacking and trying to get back into running
body was not cooperating, only could squeeze a mile

what's some good apps/devices that helps me track my progress. i dont like carrying a phone while i run, so something simple would be great

 

[onceyoupop]

Haha so there's the answer. My fault for not mentioning i'm on Android.

But it's really good reading about your runs and reviews here. Might try the Kinvara at the running store first before deciding between that or the Pegasus31.

What's your budget and what are you looking at getting GPS sports watch ?

There's a bunch of selections out there: Garmin, Fitbit, Suunto to name a few.

Check these out:

Personally though you'll never see me wearing a Apple Watch while doing a run

I think it's obvious why Nike+ favors IOS devices and gives more support to them compared to Android.

I heard the 2 key engineers that made the Nike Fuel bands and Nike+ apps basically were swept up and hired by Apple specifically for developing the Apple Watch, especially after NIKE stopped producing the NIKE Fuel bands.

Oh so this is what they came up with then:

Got to tinker around with the Apple Watch and this is one of the features i saw.

Definitely interested in the Garmin Vivoactive... I love that it has the option of displaying your overall pace rather than just the live/on the run pace.

I've noticed you're partial to H11 as I am to Nike hahah

Biggest flaw in apple watch is that it does not have a GPS built in it. Really sucks that you still have to pair & connect it to a Iphone or smart phone.

Also the reviews I've seen say the battery life on it sucks.

Personal rule I go by on any Apple products is wait until at least 2nd or 3rd generation of a device to release before consider coppin.

Yeah I was checking out the Garmin vivioactive also.

Really kind of confused on what I want for my next GPS sports watch. It's pretty much between this and the Garmin Fenix 3. I just gotta wait and hope both of them go on sale during black Friday this year.

I'm good right now on my suunto ambit 2 for now.

Check out this review. DC Rain maker website is dope for reviews:

Forgot to post this yesterday, workout kicks and running kicks. Breakthru's were making my right foot numb again after 2 miles, really frustrating. I WANT to like them, but its just not working so far. I have to keep them now though, either I stick with them a bit more and try to break them in or maybe another NTer would like to give them a shot? The bone on the top of my foot is relatively high so im guessing the toebox is too shallow for my foot, hence the numbing. Same reason the Energy Boost 2 didnt work out for me, the "cage" made it too tight for my foot with the high bone.

Just stick with the Pegs, bro!

 

[picasso swerve]

I def am, the fact I have to keep these makes me want to atleast get my moneys worth though.

My 1 mile fast pace morning run today was great with the Kinvara 5s. The cruisin 2 mile noon run wasn't so good. I notice my big toe on my right foot had a tender spot where the area was rubbing on the inner the box. I run sockless so I didn't notice until I change into another paopair of shoes. This I like my fifth run and this never occurred before. I'm wondering if I had them strung to tight. I too have a high bone on both my big toes.

Funny how we both have Sauconys and we're experiencing similar problems with the box on that same high bone. My left calf seems be getting tight during runs. Also my shin hurts but it has nothing to do with the shoes or maybe.... Instead of using these 4mm drops shoes for longer runs, I need to use them foe faster pace runs.

Lol I guess I need to whip out the Pegs and give them a try since they're still DS. ILLUSTRAYTS been telling us both to stick with them.

No running for me at the moment.. Currently on vacation in the USA and letting myself relax, although I am doing quite a bit of walking while sightseeing so that helps.

Did do the Manitou Incline in Colorado the other day and even though it's less a mile, geez it's tough!

Might try and get a run in somewhere along the way..

goosh! It's nice to see you post! Enjoy your vacation!

Thanks illustrayt . Instagram is lacking at the moment and quite sad my streak on the NT Running Instagram ended. Was going good with one of my pics making it on the weekly posts.

Slightly off topic, but I've changed Instagram accounts for my vacation and now using @travellingredbag. I've followed a few of the NT Running guys here incase any of you were wondering who it was.

Also, where did NIKEiD studios go? Went to Niketown NY and it's gone! Was wanting to make a new running shoe while I was here.. Will have to get a local to do it for me I guess.

Nike+: fenixconnexion

I was wondering where all your #NTrunning post went :/... And I had no idea that you're travellingredbag haha I'll follow you shortly.

Here's most of my running stable. I have about 7-8 more at the other house... #TeamSWOOSH

Nice rotation, still dont know how you run in Chukka's.

What shorts do you guys go with to run? I normally wear tights and these basic HM run shorts that have the inside liner but im not a fan of that. They are also a TAD short for my liking. I do like the fact its light and has a zippered back pocket though.

Basically my criteria is:
Zippered pocket (most important)
7-9 inch inseam
No inside liner

Nike is cool but a lot of them dont have zippered pockets which is a big deal for me, Im not a fan of UA at all either.

It's really a gift/curse living by a Nike Clearance Store. I purchase so many things that I don't need, but the prices are too damn good. Most of my stable consists of women shoes because they used to deduct an additional 50% off the stickered price for the larger sizes.

I usually wear basic Nike Fly shorts...

 

[alsa2009]

You lucky son of a gun. If only I had the luxury to live close to a clearance store, I would have some awesome runners too. I've been looking into different types of shirts. Right now it's just basic tees for my running purposes. Do you guys run in dri-fit apparel or a plain cotton tee and tank tops?

 

[illustrayt]

I always wear fitted Pro Combat shirts when I work out.

 

[jhowlett]

I wear nike compression shirts with Target C9 athletic shirts over
