Just a general thread about running. How's your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc.

I have a Garmin ForeRunner 165 on order, set to arrive in early January. I’m looking forward to its arrival.

Thanks to some tips from last week, I finally figured out how to connect my Polaris chest strap to my fruit phone. As expected, it was a user error.

I did have one thing I wanted to query the hive mind about. For scheduling & heat management reasons, my outdoor runs will be starting at around 630am local time. In January this means 40-45 minutes before sunrise. What would you recommend for lights or reflectivity in the hour or so before sunrise?

I’ve been using a Polar H9 on my fruity phone for over a year now and never had any major issues other than it not auto connecting anymore if I didn’t use it for like 5 days or more.

Never really liked watches so never considered it, I get all my stuff fine on the phone.

99% humidity here. Heading to my parkrun. Going to be a sweaty one.

Edit - so much sweat

Ran in the coldest weather of the season this Thursday. It was about 19°f when I left. I didn't look at what it was when I got back.

This is also the season of running in the dark during the week 😩. Still rocking a Black Diamond headlamp from 2015... No idea how it's still going

Also missed my Tuesday run because life got in the way and didn't get home until I just didn't feel like going.

I plan to run 10k tomorrow morning, which will give me a bit over 11 miles for the week.
