20220205 Wear Notes

 28-29 degrees.  Light weight jacket, tights, long sleeve, drymax socks, Aurora BL shoes, merino mittens.

  • Jacket was fine at start.  Could have taken off.
  • Long sleeve worked fine.  Was brooks ugly shirt.  Could have gone to tech sleeve.
  • Drymax socks were warm! Originally had tape, but didn't need it.  Could have gone colder as almost too warm.  
  • Mittens worked fine.  Just a bit different than the gloves, but still ok.
Based on runwin and + 10 degrees, should have been able to get away with a vest and 3/4.  Likely would have been ok, but since pace was slower, still worked out.

20220206 Stryd Pod Calibration Change

 So, it seemed obvious today that the pod was still off.  It seems to be reading short of the intended distance based on 7 mile circuit and initial readings on my 11 mile run today.  I feel like .20 miles short on 7 miles.  So .0286 miles off per mile.  Current calibration is 99.3.  Reset to 100.  Current calculations indicate 102.25

2020 December Shoes

So, had issues with the Alphafly on the long run, so redirected shoes for 4mm and consistency.  Testing: Nike Alphafly - one 13 mile run.  Caused some calf issues.  Likely the 4mm drop.  Had to buy a 4mm drop to prepare.  Will re-try after some miles on Kinvara.  Picked up a 2nd (in black) as the primary race shoe.  The white will be used for training. Salomon Sense Ride 2 - Got from ebay.  Firmer than the Pegasus Trail (in a good way).  Need to actually run in them now.  Like the cushion. Saucony Kinvara 11- Purchased for training of 4mm.  Not as bouncy as other shoes, but not too bad.  Firm, but cushioned. In Rotation: Atryeu - Like the shoe, but limited bounce. Asics Novablast - Very bouncy, but also a bit sinky.  Rotate with 1080 v10. NB 1080 v10 - Longer, easy runs.  Still weighs .4 oz over specifications. NB Rebel 2 - Rotated in after run fast retirement. Nike Pegasus 36 Trail - Over 40 miles on the shoe and sti...
