You only ever regret not going for a runOriginally Posted by Chukas

Sent a request, need to do more running. Currently doing Military Fitness but need to add in some running 👍🏻
Does anyone run with AirPod pros? I’m looking to get some wireless headphones as my wired ones are annoying me now on longer runs! I have QC35 but I can’t run in on ear headphones!
I run regularly with AirPod pros on Road and Trail and have never had any issues.
I bought these...
The pairing can be a bit hit & miss (with my Garmin Vivoactive 3 Music) - but once paired they work well & the sound quality is more than adequate for running. I really like not having to take the iPhone & no wires.
I also find them very comfortable - even up to 2h (walking not running I might add)

Perform much better than the £26.99 price tag might suggest.

Thanks chaps. Useful info. I’ll do some more research.
I have the AirPods Pro don’t use them for sports use my Jabra 65 active which are about to get replaced by the 75 active t. I find the Jabras really good for running.
I run with Jabra Elite Active 75Ts. Brilliant things.
I run using Aftershox bond conducting earphones - I personally really like the fact I can still hear traffic etc
I was a bit dubious of them too but they work great for me. I’ve used a few different brands inc. bose wireless and like the AirPod pros the most.
Got some last week through my WTB.
First run was 10 miles at 8:30 ave and they were perfect no issue or concerns.
Absolutely lov em

My Triathlon club decided that as all competitions are off for the foreseeable future, we would run some virtual club competitions to keep people ticking over and keep the interest levels up. The first one was a 5k run vs your PB since Jan 2019, making it an improvement thing, rather than a straight up competition.
Since lockdown began, I’ve continued to run, but done no speed work as I had been enjoying doing that at the Parkruns before they stopped. My fastest time was my last Parkrun at 21:26 whilst running with a friend. So, was very pleased today to run a 21:20 solo without anyone to chase or spur me on. Whilst I’m not going to be the one with the greatest improvements (some are being very sketchy about their times...), I’m just happy to run a PB, and know that my ticking-over and Zwifting is obviously still taking me in the right direction...
All I’ll need to do when/if the season returns is to gain a bit of swimming fitness, and loose the additional couple of kg’s that seem to have built up, although I suspect that some of it is an increase of muscle mass on my legs due to the additional cycling...
So, happy days until the next competition...
look up lypertek tevi, relatively inexpensive for the quality with highly rated sound and great water resistance
Thanks, I’ll check them out.

A message to anyone who needs to hear it…
I couldn’t run 2k without stopping when I started running not that long ago. A 5k was an absolute struggle and a 10k seemed unachievable. But slowly, I improved. Surround yourself with like minded people who will build you up and help you improve. Parkrun is great for this.
Remember too — your pace is your pace. Don’t worry about guys knocking out 5/7/9 minute miles, if your pace is 10 minute miles. That’s your pace.
If you’re getting off the sofa and running a few kms, WELL DONE, KEEP GOING
I am slowly struggling back to fitness, 27 minutes for the parkrun 5k last week. I am 75 this year, and certainly still want to get below 23 minutes again. I am always interested in shoes as I change mine very (too??) frequently as I am looking for comfort and cushioning as I do not want to risk knee and lower back injuries.
So I am always interested to see what people here think about their shoes, and have followed up previous ideas from posts - and very happily.
If you want cushioning without carbon plates etc, the Nike Invincible are a good shout. And any of the stability shoes from Saucony/New Balance/Asics would also work well.
I’d look for Peba foam rather than EVA as this will be softer and lighter
I hope to be still running at 75!
@walkerwek1958 thank you for taking the time to post on the thread.
I could go off on one for the good of the top fellas on here who are all trying to regain or finding a new love of running, sorry, I mean a “brisk jog” at best, but I won’t.
@everyone else. Continue with what you are doing, you are doing great and as we have all said at some point enjoy it, and all the fun of the kit buying in the process.
Finally, for me and almost everyone I am involved with in my brisk jogging club, plated shoes have made for quicker times , whether it be a 17:00 or 27:00 min 5k.

Managed 6.4km this morning, stuck to the red wine last night and never even had a whisky
Felt good today but was pretty cold.

Been lazy all the way through xmas and haven’t been out for a run since 21/12I’ve been out on the bike twice
Back to work tomorrow though so will set my alarm for 6.10 and get out to do a mile or two (despite the frost)
Out today for a wee leg stretch. Need to get back in the habit.

Is anyone using the venerable old Microsoft Band 2 GPS watch to run with? I have had mine since they first launched and it has been a loyal servant (battery life is getting crap now!) ? It appears the Microsoft health dashboard that the Band 2 syncs to has an issue with the connected Strava app and won't connect /sync correctly. I have just been chatting to online support to Band tech support and I have raised a tech assist for them to check the Strava link and see if they can get it working again. I haven't been able to share 3 runs so far and I dropping off the leader board!!

Somebody posted this in the Lonely Goat RC on Facebook, I know I’m guilty of a few of these

Hahaha - had a good laugh at those and recognised I’m guilty of 9, 8, 4 and 2 :). In fairness I only once set out on a run with the purpose to improve my time on one uphill Strava segment. I got 2nd, but was humbled when I saw that first place hadn’t done what I did at all. He’d done the opposite - with a very hilly 15 mile run, averaging miles quicker than I could on an all out 1-mile flat effort :DSomebody posted this in the Lonely Goat RC on Facebook, I know I’m guilty of a few of these

I do like round numbers though. - I don’t run 4.95 miles, when doing the extra 50 yards will get an even 5.
6.7km today in absolutely lethal conditions, got a call from wife when feeling good to go for a bit more distance saying she’s in labour, hopped back home and away to hospital

Yeah…. 9.1km is a great distance…
I haven’t ran in 1.5 weeks due to ITB injury/pain
Out for 16-18k run this morning which is going to be a make it break it run - if the pain is bad then I’m going to have to look at not running for a significant amount of time
