If you have a garmin without music I would recommend the Mighty Vibe music player. Super small and light (ipod shuffle size) and you can listen to spotify music on it. One downside is that the bluetooth can be slightly dodgy on it

I run with two watches. On my Apple Watch 5 (which has a 3G eSIM in it) I can stream podcasts, music , Spotify, etc as well as take a phone call or broadcast my live location to the wife if I am in the forest. This means I can leave my iPhone at home and not be out of touch. On the other wrist I use a Garmin Forerunner 245 for all the obvious reasons.

If you have planter fasciitis, you need a night brace. In America you can find them at CVS or Walgreens for $25. They keep your foot flexed as you sleep so the tendons recover at the proper length. I cant say its the most comfortable thing I've worn, but it cured my planter fasciitis in a few nights.

@BenParkes
4 жыл бұрын
Depends how much you run really.. plus people constantly ask me about different shoes, so try to test out a few different ones so I can answer. Shoes do need a bit of time to recover after a run, so for me it’s best to have a few easy run shoes.. then I can give a pair a break and take the next one out. Plus running in different shoes helps strengthen the feet as well, as they’ll work in different ways in different shoes. But for most people, running 2-3-4 ish time’s a week, one pair is absolutely fine!

Hi Ben. Great Video. I am also running the TP100. I was wondering what kind of shoe you would recommend as I have never ran on the trail. I see you mention the Nike Trail 2. I have heard from others that a road shoe would be more suitable as its mostly compact smooth paths? Would be good to hear your opinion. Thanks for the great content, keep it coming.
@BenParkes
4 жыл бұрын
The first half is mainly hard surfaces, tarmac etc.. so a cushioned road shoe would be good.. Hoka Clifton, new balance 1080, ASICS novablast would be my initial shoes I’d be reaching for. Then the second half is very light trail mainly.. and if it’s dry you could easily carry on it road shoes. If it’s damp then a light trail shoe like the Hoka ATR it Nike Pegasus 36/Trail 2 would be a good option. Make sure you’ve done plenty of training miles in the model of shoe though to make sure they are 100% right for you!! Good luck!
