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 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.
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 🤘🏻
Thanks for sharing. It's really a strange position I feel like I've fallen into. I did this UA-cam thing for fun a few years ago and now it's gotten to a point that people are accusing me of being paid off by brands. I don't even understand where the accusations come from as I try to be as transparent as possible but I guess that's the way it works? In either case, my goal is just to keep being me and who ever doesn't like that can block me. It is what it is! I appreciate your support!
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.
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.
@@ctstrailtalkpodcast I dont think with the prices they put on their watches they think to compete with Garmin or the offerings of Coros and Suunto. I was a polar usar for many years but their products started to stay behind the competition and are still priced above the competition.
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?
Thanks for chiming in! In realitly I just spoke my mind on this one... simple as that. It won't be a pity party in every episode I promise! As for the 100. They are always a suffer fest... it's the nature of the game. It's type 2 fun even for the most elite athletes. I'll continue to give it what I got at these races.

Thanks! For me it's AMOLED but of course thats just my opinion.
@@ctstrailtalkpodcast thank! That’s what I’m thinking. Amoled it is! Now I have to decide on 47mm or 51mm 🤔
Welcome back my friend!!
Thanks for sticking around!

You ran it?! Hope it went well! Congrats on the finish!

the Coros watch is intriguing.. maybe they are dropping something in between the pace and apex 🤷♀️.. they make a really good watch
My favorite "shill tuber"! ;) i kid, of course. I look forward to your reviews.

You're so right. The difference between an android and an iphone is so small now. They are nearly the same device but we still fight over it! lol.
Coros- pace 3x or apex 3 or something else

Not sure I agree since they would lose a boat load of money on the Grit X2 Pro and VV3 if people opted for the M3 instead.
