A little life pro tip for the hand warmers: they need constant oxygen in order to work, so when you get back from your run put them in a Ziplok and squeeze all the air out. When you open it the next day sometimes they’ll reactivate and you can get a second use out of them :)
I literally swear that your channel is a training channel for Running as Vloggers. I wish that some of the pro triathletes I watch would check out your channel.
for a while, I had a very specific goal of being the running youtuber's youtuber. while these videos tend to perform the worst, I still like to make them and share my notes with anyone else trying to do the same thing as me
You can use multiple times one-time handwarmer by after run putting them in a small plastic bag (air tight). That 'turns off' the hand warmer. For the next run just take them out of plastic bag and use again. Environmental friendly! Greetings from Finland🇫🇮 (country of polar bears). 😁
@@fellouss ua-cam.com/video/IdoXHI2f6XU/v-deo.html I did, in fact, record the HM and then later this full marathon with the GoPro. The HM is a recap with footage spliced in. The woodlands is a sub 3 attempt.
Enjoyed this a lot! Might buy a velcro strap for my watch too since sometimes it's not able to read my HR. But as someone who's about to run a HM, I'd also love to see a video detailing your not-so-generic items that you need or bring with you on a run!
Love that crocodile clip. Definitely gonna have to get one of those. Just being able to throw the GoPro in my pocket would be much easier. Thanks for sharing.👍
If the nylon watch band is too long you can just trim it. I have super narrow wrists and always do this. I also seal the cut end by passing it next to the flame on my gas stove. That melts the end so it doesn't fray.
Interesting tip on the alligator clip. I actually think I might try one for running. I know that gives up the ability to extend with a stick, but I like how compact it becomes while still allowing you to quickly point at yourself or the scenery. Plus I fear I might hit someone with a selfie stick in a race.
For warm hands in cold weather running try Toko Toasty Thermo Mittens. They are made for cross country skiing but awesome for people who run cold. So comfortable that the chemical hand warmers are not needed. But still give good dexterity. Minnesota skier and runner approved!
Really love your channel and am thankful for all the high quality content and information you provide. Having taken up running again seriously after a long hiatus running a business and raising a family, I've learned a lot in a short amount of time and helped me enjoy this most rewarding of hobbies. And, overall, it's a very affordable hobby - even with my ever-growing collection of running shoes! Haha. My previous hobbies were being an audiophile nerd and electric guitar/amp collecting and playing and those were endless large money pits for no other reason than to hear minuscule amounts of sonic "improvements" and I finally decided enough is enough. I still love listening to music with great sound quality and playing the guitar, but running is my "addiction" now. Unlike on the guitar, I can measure myself getting better and better with each mile! Thanks again!
Which ones are you using?!? I’d love a link! Some of the ones I see on amazon are huge, so they won’t fit inside my mittens. I am looking for a small one!
Happy Black Friday! I’ve been watching your videos back when you had 10k subs. Your videos got me into “running”. I film with an iPhone 7, but need to upgrade phone soon and I know you’re a GoPro user. Questions - any experience/opinion filming phone vs GoPro? And and opinion on BF deals if I were to purchase a GoPro - 11 ($400) v 8 ($229) on BH Photo - best value specifically for sporadic running (or in my case, walking) videos. Features I’m looking for - stabilization and low light. I know 11 would be better, but I’m interested in terms of value for your money.
I think the key difference between gopro and phone is the ability to put the camera on a stick and get those different angles. i think phones do incredible jobs these days, but I would never want to put one on a stick and run. between the 8 and 11, I think it would really come down to resolution and frame rates. the 11 gets you 4k at 120fps. if you don't need that high of a resolution or that high of a frame rate, the 8 might be the right buy for you. stabilization is a lot better on the 11 though. and neither are particularly good at low light.
Thanks for sharing your can’t live without list. I just started watching your channel as I was preparing to run my first Chicago Marathon, and I’m now hooked on the Chicago races, so looking forward to next year’s Shamrock Shuffle, Half, and Full marathon in 2024. Question, I noticed the end of the video shows you using a 360 camera. How often do you switch it up and use the 360 camera? Do you bring both on runs? How do you make the decision to switch up the cameras?
except for an exceptional destination trail run, I only bring one camera. depending on what footage I need or what I might encounter, this will dictate what camera I bring. just like I have different shoes have different strengths, different cameras have different strengths.
I've never seen someone wear their watch so high on their arm. The edge of my watch sits just higher than the bone. I have used the Garmin titanium band for four years and it's been perfect for me. The watch goes in the right place and doesn't move and I can wear it all the time. It gets cleaned in the shower so I don't have the rash issues that some people get with silicone bands. I have been interested in the hook and loop nylon bands as they do breathe so that you can wear them all the time. On winter running: I got a spin bike in 2020 and I have two indoor tracks that I can use when the weather gets really bad.
Thank you for the video. A quick question? What GPS watch do you mostly wear? I am buying 955 solar because it lighter than my Fenix 5 plus and has more features such as golf and trail maps.
I never attach a mic to the gopro. in the exceedingly rare instances where I need better audio than what the gopro can give me, I'll use an external recorder and match it up in the edit later
Hmm why not use heated gloves ? ;) Thats what we use for skiing. This being said, I'm surprised you need extra heat, I live in Quebec and during winter, I find it harder than most people to stay warm but I never use my heated gloves when running since i generate from running, maybe you need to run harder ? :p There are heated socks too but I'm not sure I would use that for running, it's not especially comfy with metal elements needed for heating.
What watch are you currently using for your running atm? I currently have the ignite 2 but looking to upgrade to either v2 or coros? I also have the H10 heart rate monitor. Any recommendations? I’ve done half marathons and training for my first marathon in the spring. Thanks!

I’m a detail oriented person, so I really appreciate your succinct but complete descriptions and honest evaluations.

Okay so I just got the selfie stick also! :) I’ll let you know how the Austin 3M half marathon goes in January (with video!!)

Great list bro! I’ll defo grab some of these
Thanks Fordy!
This is a great video. The curtain behind the magician! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing!! Been feeling inspired by you to document my journey of running my first marathon as a college student!
it's a great way to preserve memories but also to keep yourself consistent with the training

it's how I started out. my first couple marathons and half marathons were with the clip
I just ordered the stick and the clip! Can’t wait to shoot some super epic footage like you and Serious Runner 😂
have fun!
Coros Pace 2 user here. And I just switched my nylon band the way Ko recommends, and wow! So much better that way!!
it's a lot easier to adjust while running, in case that ever needs to happen
Nice recommendations, especially the hand warmers.
Looks like Bambi 🦌 didn’t want to be on your selfie 🤣😂. Great info and video as always 👍🏼

That clip was a great tip mate thank you. Bought one myself! x
I go through a couple boxes of hot hands warmers every season. I cannot run comfortably in winter temps without them. Absolutely essential.
Fantastic video. It is like: Inside Baseball (on Running Influencers)! Thanks!
A little bts for you
There are the reusable ones that you charge (small size that fit in your palm)…I LOVE THEM.

Thank you, I got the gator clip for mah new GoPro Mini. 😺🤙🏽
that hand warmer will be available in every convenient store in japan. 7eleven, lawson, family mart, new days, daily yamazaki, sunkus, etc.
Omg. You have been using that alligator clip for years!!!
Great video as always! If you don't mind my asking, which GoPro edition are you using?
I’m on the 11, but the 10 is still quite excellent
@@kofuzi Cool! Thank you so much! Keep safe and stay well on your runs!

if I wear a watch near the wrist bone, the tracing looks somewhat decent for about 20 minutes. and then it's pegged near 180 for the rest of the time.
Got the clip! Will be super useful 🙏🏼

Im also considering to get a gopro.. i think it will be so much fun
it changed my running for the better
Hi Kofuzi!
When you use your GoPro with alligator clip, do you use sometimes a mic attached to your action cam?
I never attach a mic to the gopro. in the exceedingly rare instances where I need better audio than what the gopro can give me, I'll use an external recorder and match it up in the edit later

If you like the Polar ecosystem, I recommend the Pacer Pro
Hey Kofuzi, where do you put your phone when you run? Do you use a fanny pack or something?
ua-cam.com/video/NCJh8DyKce4/v-deo.html
or I use an apple watch on one arm and gps watch on the other and leave the phone at home
Why Kofuzi is not using any Garmin watches? Have you tried any Garmin products before? Just curious...

How do you decide between GoPro and Insta360?
If I want image quality, I go GoPro. If I want age novelty, I go Insta360
I have a question Kofuzi. Are you Japanese American. Kofuji can be a Japanese name.
I have met you on NYC Marathon back in time and forgot to ask you.
What happened to Insta360?!
What do you attach to your shoes to track your activities?
I use a watch for that
@@kofuzi thanks! I always wondered how, but i do see a small strap attached to your shoes on your run vids.. thats not a tracker?
I agree, 230 cm is definitely too long, that is even longer than me. 😉 thanks for the video, interesting to hear about the unsung heroes.
Yoooo what’s going on.
200cm watch bands? 😅
That's about 6 feet
like I said. too long
Sure.... but who has the most carbon fiber? 😄😄😄
