Everything here is something I actually use, at my size, in the weather I train in. When a piece of gear fails I say so. There are no affiliate links on this page today; if that changes, the disclosure page explains how it works.
Watch and data
- Garmin Fenix 8. Every run, ride and swim, and the source of every number on this site.
- Garmin HRM 600 chest strap for heart rate.
- Garmin scale. Every morning, after the bathroom, without a miss since February.
Run
- ASICS Superblast 3. Wide toe box for wide feet, light, and 30 to 50 miles in the first two weeks without a complaint.
- ASICS Megablast. First run in them was the 11.2-miler, and I felt fast.
- Nike Vomero Plus (retired). Comfortable, but heavy. Late in a long run they felt like bricks.
- Half tights. Replaced the shorts that got too big and chafed me raw. Fixed it in one day.
Bike
- X-Lab RS7 road bike.
- Wahoo Kickr Core smart trainer for indoor rides.
Fuel
- Tailwind in the bottles on long sessions.
- BPN G.1.M Sport and Raw Nutrition carbs before and during long rides and runs.
Everything else
- AirPods Pro 3 on the run, Beats over-ear headphones on the trainer.
- Trisuit: an inexpensive one from Amazon. It works.
