Although Iβve been on Strava for ages Iβve only just really started thinking about using the more social aspects of it but I donβt follow a lot of non-elites. If youβre on Strava drop your link here so we can all follow each other! I am here: https://strava.app.link/gguz0LfsQ1b
As you know, we have our weekly Tuesday Gear thread where we discuss all anything running related we'd like to buy or try. Now I'm wondering the opposite: is there anything you bought or tried out that you DIDN'T like and/or even regret buying?
Ooh I have several examples! π But a few off the top of my head: The Flipbelt that kept bouncing around on every run. The Saucony Triumph 20 where every mile I ran on it was painful and not fun. Compression socks made my bunion worse so I stopped wearing those on my runs unless they are compression toe socks. A wide assortment of energy gel brands.
Flex: Did my Saturday long run on Friday instead. Heat and humidity was awful and it was going to be just as bad or worse the next day. 10 miles without water, no energy gels.
The crowd is nice to have but I never really notice them. But I donβt usually notice whatβs around me when Iβm racing and so I wouldnβt notice the beautiful course either!
YEESSSHHH let's talk GEAR! Shoes, nutrition, or gadgets you've bought or would like to try? Maybe something that caught your eye? Let us know in the comments. I'll share my latest in the comments! β¬οΈ
