    💪💪 What an amazing day for running.. Kipchoge in Tokyo and you winning Cambridge... So totally deserved... I absolutely love your videos, you have so much drive and motivation but you are so humble and down to earth... I can't wait to see how you get on in Rotterdam.. You deserve the sub 2.20 for sure, running can be cruel sometimes and maybe a tough London was what you needed to really drive you on.... Super super inspirational (even tho I'm on the sofa eating a donut) 😊

    • @justalilbester

    Congrats! Great effort man! Have you considered the polar arm strap hr monitor? I hear it is as reliable as the chest ones. I'd also consider getting a stryd wind power meter at your level of running, just to start gathering data and getting on the power hype train. From what we see in cycling I think that's where the future lies in terms of measuring training zones and load for running, as it gets more accurate and reliable!

    • @justalilbester
      @justalilbester  2 роки тому +1

      I know Polar make great HR monitors. I used to have a few but I found the Garmin HR monitor pro to be the most accurate for me! As for the power meter, it's great data but at the dame time I'd like to keep things as basic and simple as possible! With hard work comes improvement!
