 back from the run today and yes I had a little bit of a eureka moment out there let me ladies and gentlemen butter it all right back from the run today and yes I had a little bit of a eureka moment out there let me explain basically you know I've been doing ultra running for the past four and a half years about and this is my one of my vests that I wear when I'm out there for three hours four hours five hour long runs I long runs up in the mountains especially and a lot of times I'm carrying my phone in a pocket right here and then my GoPro right over here sometimes the drone is in the back which probably looks a little muddy right now in addition I'll have gels well I noticed today running in an urban environment at seven so today's run 705 a mile 13 miles there it is in kilometers on your screen but I noticed so remember last week we talked about I want to improve my efficiency and running form leading into the Houston marathon on January 19th and so my arm my arm carriage is I think one of the most important components of my gate cycle and my in my running form that I need to improve upon and I noticed today wearing the vest that I was dropping my arms lower remember I said like up in the mountains when I'm doing mountain running I often drop my arms today I noticed that I did it again and I prefer especially for faster paces just right here right here kind of a little closer to the body not elbows out like I also noticed my elbows out were my elbows were out a little too wide today instead I wanted I want to keep them right here right here nice and efficient just kind of a little a little tighter to the body rather than kind of down I don't even know if you can quite see that but down and elbows out so it was a eureka moment for me it tells me that I got to be careful how much I wear the vest over the next six seven eight weeks leading into Houston okay soccany mad river trs pulling their weight in the urban environment the trail shoes I threw the mud the the ice the snow they are pulling their weight it's awesome and yes I put the spenco in there just for a little that's that green cushion that you saw me put in at the beginning of the vlog just for a little extra cushion on the concrete and pavement because all the dirt trails right now are completely covered with snow and it's just it's just not fast enough for road marathon training to run on snow that's not uh yeah it's just it's just not fast enough there's no other way to say it okay everyone a lot of updates to share with all of you first of all um I'll go with this first okay merch

the day what running tech what running gear tech I don't even know how to say it what running tech are you most excited about uh around maybe you're you have something in mind to buy for yourself or

wore today I've got the Polar Vantage V and then the now the KOROS Apex Pro believe it or not I am feeling a little more comfortable with the interface and the overall uh how easy is it to use all the the Polar watch and the Sun 2 watch now I will start putting the KOROS watch through the paces unlike running shoes where I'm very familiar and I feel very confident giving my opinions I don't feel confident yet giving my opinions too strongly when it comes to watches but just keep giving me time the more I use all the watches um every single day that I go out for a run I will get more and more confident and um yeah just confident that I'm giving you sound information and sound opinions on what user interface is the easiest to use etc etc so KOROS UROCK thank you next package okay this is

shout out to Jaybird Jaybird in the house Vista and Tera Pro so I don't listen to music when I run guess what I listen to a lot right now audiobooks I don't know about you but I'm really really really oh it's so sad because I'm editing the vlog at night back three and a half years ago I used to read at nights before going to bed and I can't do that anymore I'm just I'm just too busy and I'm too tired because I'm editing the vlog every single night and therefore I I told true love like it makes me so sad I stopped to read like I'm not really reading much so now it's audiobooks while I'm running and working out so I'm and I listen to podcasts as well I never listen to music really sometimes the radio but this is amazing Jaybird this is the Vista the truly wireless version and these are the Tera Pros I've heard incredible reviews about Jaybird headphones so these are headphones for running and this is um they're basically talking and I'll give I'll open these up and give you my full thoughts after testing them out but they're basically um Jaybird is create they're creating headphones that are not tech I gotta be careful what I say it's not tech it's gear meaning their headphones are designed to be beaten up and rough they're like you can drop them in the mud and they're and they'll be okay you can take them rock climbing and if you drop them uh drop them off of a cliff like they should be okay they're supposed to be really really uh high build quality which I'm always talking about build quality when it comes to running shoes and so I really appreciate well built running gear so this is awesome shout out to Jaybird again I will link down to them below two more quick updates take out your calendars right now here we go I'm pulling up my calendar right now
