7 Unexpectedly Good Running Purchases I Made This Year

[@peterwoodford2376]

I got a Garmin FR 245 after starting running in lockdown for about £140 off Amazon. Just right for all basic info. The 165 looks even better. No need for expensive watches at all! Great video as always!

[@baltsu]

Ben, I agree with you when it comes to watches. As a runner, I always preferred the lightest watch and never used many features. It's funny that many reviewers say that cheaper models are entry level watches for new runners. The reality, however, is that pros like Kipchoge tend to use the cheap watches and casual joggers those flagship models that cost thousands of euros.

[@Jon-hb6gx]

I like more basic watches too but comparing to pros is pointless for amateurs. They have colleagues providing data and insights and don't rely on tech as much as me (for example) because they are so much more experienced.

[@leeharrison1017]

I bought a Fenix thinking it was the mutts nuts, whilst it’s a great watch I just didn’t need that much of a watch. I’ve now got a Coros pace 3 and absolutely love it, I forget it’s on my wrist! The tech for the price point is great too!

[@Miekzz]

Ben you are so right re watches. The small lightweight ones are so good nowadays, no need for the big bulky ones

[@PhilMUK]

Coros Pace 3 is a perfect example.

[@Googlrr]

@@PhilMUK My coros has been such a good buy. I got mine maybe 5 months ago and its perfect. Every feature I could possibly want for a lower price than its competitors. I'm always surprised when I see reviews talking about the AMOLED display on other watches like it matters for viewing in the sun. I ran through all types of weather and have never had trouble seeing the screen of my Pace 3.

[@PhilMUK]

@@Googlrr Yeah, I have no problems with the screen apart from in the dark. But they just released the Pace Pro with the AMOLED screen.

[@ElPattino]

@@GooglrrI can’t get around no 3rd party music support. What do you do ?

[@karlbratby4349]

@@Miekzz I also don’t want all the tech of the high end watches but with my eyesight going now over 50 I need a large screen, sadly they just seem to be on the more expensive watches, forked out £600 on a FR 965 just for the screen size, never use the maps or a lot of other stuff.

[@exposureseries3747]

I'll never get rid of my Enduro 2... from mountaineering to running around the neighborhood. It's the perfect watch for me, Ive only had it for 3 weeks now but the more I use it the more features I end up using. Courses in the mountains with all the info and extremely detailed maps, ditching relying on my phone. The multitude of fitness tracking performance metrics have pushed me to go farther and harder. The suggested work outs are great as my goals have drifted to running a marathon and really interested in pushing myself to the limit with ultramarathons in the mountains. So for multi-day backpacking trips, Navigation in terrible weather with zero visibility, long distance runs, and future proofing my watch for my goals I couldn't be happier. Plus id recommend the Enduro 2 to anyone who has similar lifestyle choices. It's just the right amount of watch for me, I like it better than my AWU2. The simplicity of the MIP display... just perfection.

[@kelseyblair6628]

I also just switched to Precision Hydration!! The company is so dang wonderful to boot and are more than happy to help you out with your routine or answer questions.

[@HaraldHofer]

2 remarks: I'm using the shit out of my Tactix 7. Best watch I ever had and incredible battery life. This Saturday for example I ran 12 laps in an Backyard Ultra. It was pretty cold already, running time was around 10hrs, I started with 99% and stopped with 79%. And I had similar experiences with other long runs. It gives me some peace of mind to know that the battery will last way longer than I will. 😆 I have waterproof socks and I love them. There is one thing one should know: they prevent water from coming in as good as from getting out. Did a mud run once where we had to cross hip deep water just at the beginning. I had to run the rest of it with balloonesque waterlogged socks. Just so you know: If you expect this to happen maybe choose "normal" socks...

[@jimcotton5005]

That hamstring gadget looks really good. Never heard of it before. Thanks for the tip off Ben!

[@learzetur6]

As someone that has both the Epix Pro Gen 2 and the 165. I can tell you that you are absolutely right. I cannot understand why the 165 gets so much hate. It is such an amazing little watch. Now, the killer feature from the Epix is that flashlight. I use it every run because I run at 5AM, but the same can be accomplished with running lights. I have the titanium/ sapphire Epix Pro and I will be selling it soon

[@becks33]

Best running jogging bottoms and long sleeve top to get for the winter months

[@idawson998]

Regarding watches, I switched out the silicone strap on my Garmin 165 for a nylon strap from eBay and now it's half the weight and far more comfortable

[@Real_Matt]

I am looking to do exactly this, could you link the one you bought please.

[@StevenGrace]

Same, but I bought it through Garmin, I know, pay the Garmin tax. But now I can't go back to the silicone straps, so very uncomfortable.

I use Precision Fuel 30s, non-caf and caf too! Their Precision Hydration Sodium Tabs are great as well! Tastes really good and I don't get taste fatigue even if I just have that the whole time, considering I've tried various flavors of GU.

[@therealjaypowell]

Love Precision. The caffeine ones are pretty rough but I’m told that’s the norm for most brands. And like you said the sodium pills are a godsend for easily keeping electrolytes onboard.

Happy that the garmin 165 is good enough for experienced runners like you , as someone who is just 1 year into running , this justified my purchase 😂

[@timking1283]

My finds, for long trail races, speed laces are a game changer. Also for Long races the Hydrapak water filter for your water bottle. And water bottles with the flip top that opens by Hydrapak. Makes filling the bottle much easier for the aid station.

[@cornellmans6362]

Bought Asics Novablast 4s after watching your video. Got another pair on sale. 1 000km awesome kilometers on the first pair. Best shoes I've owned so far.

[@liamglasper1127]

Harrier trail vest. Always been a fan of Salomon but the material on the newer versions irritates my neck. The Harrier vest is very comfortable, nice soft material and comes in at a good price.

[@MyViewon_Life]

I bought the Salomon 12 liter recently, which also irritates my neck. I have to ensure the shirt I wear covers that part. Bummer cause I love the pack besides that and don't plan on spending money on another one...

[@tomwood5247]

Hilly socks with the individual toes have been a great one for me. No more blisters from the toes rubbing together.

[@jonnymess]

I started using Precision gels this summer and love them. Super easy to get down and keep them down.

[@Catcrumbs]

I'm a satisfied Fenix 6 owner, but I do miss the sleekness of my old Forerunner from time to time. That said, I'm more than just a runner, so I do get good use out of the additional features of the Fenix. For dedicated runners though, Garmin's entry-level watches have come on hugely in the last few years and they are missing very few features in comparison to the premium watches. The only thing that would put me off is the marginal battery life. In comparison to a MIP watch, their battery does not have to degrade much before their usefulness is compromised, which is ultimately going to result in having to buy a new watch sooner.

[@joeharding5303]

Great, so now I've got to order a Garmin 165, a naked running band (that you weren't even reviewing), and some precision fuel stuff too. Thanks Ben! 😂 I was actually looking for ideas for all three so this was a perfectly timed video 🙂

[@BenParkes]

I saw it's just come out.. looks nice!

[@Feanaro5503]

I got the Garmin 265 on sale for US $350 and it’s awesome. I need the music cause I don’t take my phone on runs anymore. Back in the day before I had a smart watch, I would run with the whacking great iPhone 7+ held in my hand. I used the 265 at night for a few days to confirm that my sleep is poor, and then stopped wearing it at night cause I don’t like anything extra on my wrist.

[@Mr80Miles]

These gel pouches definitely look worth a try. Find Maurten not easy to get down plus gives me raging heartburn!

Thanks for all the great content Ben! I'm using one of your marathon training plans right now and its going great. I was wondering if you have or can maybe do a gym workout showing a routine for runners?

[@alistairt3640]

I'm feeling the same about Maurten. I find them easy to start with but struggle to get the last couple down towards the end of a marathon. Was thinking the 90g Precision might be easier as I'd only need to carry 3 and they'd be easier to take over a period of time rather than having to down in one go. Was thinking testing out the OTE 40g ones too.

[@karlbratby4349]

Bought the therabody mini 2 on your recommendation and love it, same as you mine goes everywhere with me. Also picked up the therabody wave roller, you should try one budd, awesome roller especially for my lower back.

[@rukseruran6911]

thanks for the video..comments on fr165 are appreciated and needed

[@ukmattj]

So glad to hear you’re a big fan of precision fuel, I absolutely love the stuff. As you say, so easy to get down and I’ve also used the drink mix when on the bike, bloody brilliant. The 90g pouches on the other hand though… I was left wondering how much had i used or not used, whereas I found the 30s a good way of knowing exactly what I was hitting on regular 20min intervals. The sweat test… well worth it and also an investment for life as your body won’t genetically change the amount of sweat you produce so once you know that figure their race planner is then fantastic to really dial in that nutrition plan.

[@YouTubedarek]

+1 for the waterproof socks! Some people just say that's part of trail running (getting wet) but for shorter runs they are amazing! Truthfully I haven't tried them past 20km but maybe they'd be alright longer as well. Also, the knee high ones are amazing for snowshoe running, so when the snow flicks onto your calf then it doesn't melt and freeze your legs. I love of simplicity of Precision gels and ease to track carbs but I personally hate the flavour. I can manage by basically trying to use the gel without taking a breath lol. But I love the little tab holder so that you don't risk littering. I also like SIS Beta...40g of carbs each so also easy to track.

I used 12 from another recipe) - add a bit of salt for electrolytes When I make a batch I use 1 liter of juice, 600 g malto and ~240g honey. I put it in little glasses and put them in the freezer. For every long run I take one or two glasses and put the gel inro a soft flask

Was excited to watch this as I switched to Precision Hydration Gels for my Half Marathon PB attempt at the Royal Parks this year after struggling with SiS in training. Had no problems with SiS in digestion, but I have quite severe arthritis in my fingers which makes gripping things really painful... it's sounds crazy but I simply couldnt get the tops off and even trying to bite the ends off wasn't really working too well... then came Precision Hydration and the 30g gels are just so easy to open (and you dont end up with an end to dispose of). Had 12 weeks of your HM training programme, 1hr 49sec to beat, aimed for 1hr 45sec and came in 1hr 41sec.. fueling was spot on and your training plan was simply amazing Ben!

[@keithhuckfield7783]

For hamstring strength, you don’t need gimmicky devices. SLDLs, good mornings and leg curls will all provide a much better stimulus to your hamstrings for strength than that roller. All you need is a barbell or some dumbbells and sufficient weight that allows you to do 3-6 good quality reps before needing to rest. To train strength, this is the rep range you are aiming for and you need heavy weight to achieve stronger muscles. This device may improve form to some degree, but your classic compound moves with weights will do a lot more.

[@Nige.]

Have you tried the roller?

[@danw7864]

I disagree I think having lots of isometric movement and body weight and that kind of thing is smart for endurance sports

[@conorvaughan3510]

Yes you can build strong hamstrings with these but the roller or sliders aren’t gimmicky and are used by multiple professional sports team’s S&C coaches. The roller helps develop power and speed at lengthened positions. It trains the muscles and tendons to fire at length and can be beneficial to prevent injury or improve speed. Building strong but not powerful hamstrings is a recipe for injury.

I use isopropyl alcohol, also known as rubbing alcohol. I put some on a tissue, cloth, or cotton wool ball, and clean the contacts on the watch and the connector. That seems to get it charging reliably again for a few months until the watch gets gunked up from salty sweat and dead skin cells.
