I love listening to the podcasts while I run! Can't wait to hear more about the bed pod thing. I hope you feel better soon!

Don't worry that ketone IQ is a gimmick. I tried it and it did absolutely nothing, the company just took my money

Get well soon again! Thanks for your excellent reviews! I still haven't bought a new sportswatch. Still using my old Polar Vantage 1, but consider to switch to Coros Pace Pro next year. Best wishes, Hans

Married man goes to Vegas with some buddies from the past, what could go wrong? What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!

1. Strava Year in Sport and Apple Watch SE ascendancy - is this just Strava membership growth with more mainstream people buoying Apple? 2. Dave - do you think Garmin is going to enter the ring market? I would love to have a ring for day to day and be able to wear an old school timepiece without the opportunity cost of not capturing the data on my bike commute.

I was a hoka fan, but the toe box started to bother me. Went with the Saucany Endorphin Are you seeing more Hokas with wider toe boxes?

Don’t worry about not posting on here all the time. I think most of us would prefer 1. You doing it when you can so you don’t get burnt out and 2. When you have lots of stuff to talk about! On another note that hoody looks dope AF.

hard to comment before listening, but (for algorythms) speedy recovery! now i'm all ears...

The Hoka Mach X2 and Tecton X 3 are both great shoes! Surprisingly great offerings at a premium price, but probably worth the extra pennies. I'd also love to test/review the new Altra Timp 5 BOA (I anticipate the upper fit being much better). Cheers!

Would you still recommend buying a new fenix 7pro now, or should one wait for a price drop or new watches (fr975 venu 4 fenix 8 pro...). Curious, bc i d like to have a 7pro with flashlight, but software Support has stopped which sucks

First commemt

I enjoy the podcasts, I think the is the first episode that I've watched. Tell Jenn congrats on Baystate! I was there as well running my first "road" marathon. Wow, those things are no joke and Baystate is super flat. I'd do it again, but would rather be on the trails.

Coros- pace 3x or apex 3 or something else

Your reviews are must see with dcrainmaker and desfit. I'm annoyed at the hate online as well. My main watch is a garmin, but I used an apple watch as my main watch for a while. It's fine. I could go back if I had to. I use a pixel 8 phone. If its price was swapped with an iphone or samsung phone, I'd jump ship to the cheaper priced phone. Everywhere online is a with us or against us flame war lately. Which is kind of funny because everything is becoming more and more similar compared to years ago.

Stay positive my friend. You seem very genuine to me. Read the comments and blow off the trolls and laugh at them. I’m glad you answer my questions, I really appreciate your honest input. So, I do have another question. I’m going to get a fenix 8. Which do you prefer the MIP or the amoled? They both have enough battery for me. But I’m wondering about the preference of one vs the other and the way the display is?

I recently saw a post on Reddit with a comment (with a lot of people agreeing) that mentioned you, Ray, Matt, and Dez as the UA-camrs who get paid by the big companies to give positive reviews. I’ve never met you all but man I had an urge to reply to that dumb comment . Took a moment and left it alone but really thought to myself…these people don’t watch any of their videos then. Every video has both positive and negatives. Sometimes the negatives are pretty big and in Ray’s case pretty damn critical of the companies that release the watches. I can’t imagine you getting paid to say actual negative things about their products lol all that today, maybe read the comments, don’t take them to hurt but instead take the good out of them and apply it to improve yourself. So far you’re doing an amazing job and I enjoy eating al your videos 🤘🏻

Polar is playing everyone. They want to sell the cheaper watch at a premium price and the the expensive model is just to make the cheaper model look like a deal when the competition might have better features.

The reality of UA-camrs AND ultra runners... that drive to excel & achieve. It's an alien world to me... But can understand it's a real struggle to ignore the trolls & 'run YOUR race'. Love this pod/video format and happy to hear you talking about your process, activities etc. But if every pod was anguished, that's a red flag. Fans want their hero (that would be you) to sell the dream. It's not lying, but like a filter - don't plunge into the negativity too often. A little is fine. As for the hundred, no idea bc never been fit enough or tough enough myself. But I would really rethink the value proposition if I wasn't enjoying it. Borderline not surviving. Unless the video is a Hollywood scale success, there's a net negative surely?

My favorite "shill tuber"! ;) i kid, of course. I look forward to your reviews.

the Coros watch is intriguing.. maybe they are dropping something in between the pace and apex 🤷‍♀️.. they make a really good watch

Welcome back my friend!!

BTW, the new hats are great. I got mine, a black one, which looks sweet. Now, my wife wants the white one. :D

Купил!

Donated!

Hi Dave, I usually prefer videos, but it's very nice to just listen too, so absolutely fine with me. Thank you for the great content 🙂 Btw., do you plan any follow-up with Jenn about her Boston marathon experience? I would be very interested 🙂

Pajamas are the way to go.

I miss seeing your friendly face but it feels easier to partake while training.

Dave, speaking to you directly: audio only is perfectly fine! I don’t think there’s a need at all for a video version. Don’t feel bad about it. I think I speak for everyone when I say I’d rather we get more content through audio than less content because of the video. Thanks for all you do!

Vermont 100, might as well be on Mars relative to my ability or experience... But agree - camping the night before sounds suicidal. I also follow Goran Winblat on yt, is a European viewpoint, he recently did an orienteering comp at night, interesting to compare.

LTE and a Garmin Whoop Band would be pretty great!

As far a shoes go, I just got the Topo Athletic Pursuit 2, which for me seems perfect!

I don't understand all the hate on Connect 5.0. If adjusted to your preferences the user experience is superior to the old version. But okay, maybe it's just me liking it. 🤔

Just watched this on 4/26 and can’t wait to hear how her experience was and if she could walk at Disney.

Good luck Jenn! I would recommend taking it easy and just enjoying your first time. Weather looks warm and crowds will be out. If you weren’t going to Disney with four kids 48 hours later I would totally say SEND IT but it’s not worth the risk of trashing your body or even worse, seriously hurting something and suffering all week on your vacay. Try qualifying in a couple years when you get 5 more minutes and then go for the PR. Boston Marathon isn’t going anywhere. PS Dave, just got my sunrise hat, it’s awesome thanks! See you at VT100.

Good luck, Jenn! I am looking forward to the debrief podcast 🙂

Go Jennifer!

Good luck for the weekend!

Good luck and a lot of fun! I think you should run easy and just enjoy the atmosphere. And if you have enough gas in the tank at the end you can speed up. I ran some low effort marathons in training and this strategy worked pretty well for me.

Good luck Jenn - you got this!! 💪

Best of luck Jenn!!! You're going to do great but more importantly you'll have a fun time on those roads out there. Enjoy it!

Hope you have a great race Jenn!! Also as a heads up they don't have pacer signs at Boston :) the charity runners start in the last wave and it's a bit of a slow start for first few miles with all the people and various paces the charity runners are running. The first 3 waves are basically the fastest runners that BQ'd starting with wave 1 as the fastest runners.

11:46 is Conan named after the barbarian or The O'Brien?

Interesting thoughts about the Polar watch. I'll keep my Apple Watch for now and save money.

great podcast.. also for anyone in the Kansas area, and anywhere nearby ( I hope you see this).. today 3/31, is the last day you can sign up for the Salina marathon for 5 bucks. I am not on the promotional team.., but 5 bucks for a race is crazy

In response to the podcast, listened to the audio, not on yt... As a consumer, I appreciate the style of presentation, the human stories, the activities, locales. In short, I like you. But the grave threat of online media is utterly fickle & dispassionate - I have hundreds of subs & clearly there's only time to consume a tiny fraction... As for the business direction, no idea but in this pod imagine I can hear the uncertainty in your voice like imposter syndrome, humble is good in moderation - but just gonna have to try different stuff out and see if it gets traction. For myself I can't imagine being in that world of invisible forces of advertising revenue, sponsor deals, popularity metrics etc. I'm doltish or old skool, pay me to do xyz, simple & direct... That said, video has compelling visuals that make solo watchable. But it's very hard to make solo audio fresh and compelling every week. Especially if you have a family I guess demanding your attention & energy - unless you wrangle them into the channel - as willing participants (!) Other fitness pods I used to follow were round tables covering a menu of topics & audience questions, fitness advice. The space is very crowded & competitive ... plus unfortunately the market is a small proportion of fitness motivated ppl among the overwhelming soup of regular slobs.

Dave, your USP is actually you :). All the combination of tech reviews and vloggin is what makes this channel. There are a lot of dads out there (including me) hitting 40, trying to keep the dad bod in shape and your view on this just clicks :). So as a lot of people have already said, just keep doing what you are doing. We will be here supporting.

I like the reviews but I also love watching runs. I remember you did some trail runs before that I enjoyed watching! I love the races and recaps as well. Training tips would be cool.

I was listening to the podcast today and you asked for feedback about your channel… so here I am! Also, I realized I was subscribed to this channel, but wasn’t receiving all notifications. I personally appreciate that your channel isn’t exclusively just gear reviews. I know you are still working at finding your niche as a full time UA-cam content creator, but rest assured you are doing great! Be confident! I relate with you and your struggles. I too am a dad that juggles family, fitness and work. Your “vlog” videos are refreshing in this space. It’s like going on a run with a good friend and just catching up. They inspire and motivate me to keep at it! Great job man! Love the channel.

Hi Dave, while searching for some reviews for a running watch I stumbled upon your channel and I liked what I saw and heard. While the tech can be compared by “tweakers” and such, it’s your ramblings, little silly jokes and als a father of small kids that resonates with me. Desfit and our ginger friend post similar reviews, it’s yours I want to listen to 🤷🏻‍♂️ I don’t care which channel 😋 I keep watching and listening to you if you keep rambling-it in stead of winging-it like anyone else 😄
