Ditched my Garmin Running Watch for 30 Days | What I Learned
Переглядів 39821 годину тому
Using a running or sports watch or other apps are great tools to track mileage, pace, progress, etc. and I absolutely love using them! However, I wanted to try and get back in tune with how I was actually feeling during my workouts; paying more attention to my effort, and not relying on the watch for feedback. 30 days without using my Garmin was all I needed.

Ice Bandana / How To Make An Ice Bandana
Переглядів 1,5 тис.14 днів тому
A simple ice bandana can help keep you cool during those hot running days, or perhaps while working in the yard or garden. They're inexpensive and super helpful. I wear one on hot days, especially for long runs and trail races. THE SOCIALS: Instagram: arunningmess Website: www.arunningmess.com SUBSCRIBE TO A RUNNING MESS: bit.ly/1tkyIaO

      This. Cyclist here. I mainly keep my computer on the map screen. But, I like to look at all of the data when I'm done. The worst thing I'm guilty of is often stretching a ride out to a whole number (plus like 0.1 to pay the Strava tax 🤣)

    Good video. I agree on the gaiters. It is so easy to pick up gravel and pebbles and having to stop and empty them out can be a bummer. Also here a lot of our trails run through wooded areas with underbrush, tree limbs and other items that might catch shoes laces. The gaiters have helped protect my laces from being untied or just tangled up in something that could cause a tumble.

    • @arunningmess
      @arunningmess Місяць тому

      You're so right. Gaiters are incredibly helpful!

    Congrats for making as far as you did, it was really tough conditions out there. I was there too but for the 100k. Unfortunately I only made it 11 miles (to Jackass Junction) due to either food poisoning or 24hr stomach flu. It's taken me a month to get over, emotionally, having to drop (my first DNF) but as I've been reading blogs and watching videos I realize that I might not have been completely ready for this race! I haven't decided yet if I'll attempt it again next year but, we'll see?? Thanks for sharing your journey.
