20220215 Wear and Run Notes

 30 degrees, little wind

  • Compressor socks
  • Brooks jacket
  • Mittens and mitten
  • Bjorn long sleeve
  • Icebreaker 150 tights
  • Green speed
Somewhat cold toes, though felt warmer at end.  Took jacket off at mile 1.5, and was a bit brisk for rest of the run.  Took off mittens, then merino mitten.  Put the mitten back on around mile 5, which help reduce the cold on the chest.  Probably a vest would have been good.

Right knee felt much better.  Left knee generally felt good, but was a bit tweaky at times.  No ankle issues.

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 Shoe Purchases (Rolling - January)

(1/5) Nike Pegasus 36 Trail - Have always wanted to try a trail shoe, but was pretty sure I didn't need one that could handle the technical trails in places like Colorado.  Focus on was on a hybrid shoe (road and trail), with potentially a GTX/Goretex liner.  My concern with GTX is heat.
