Running for more than 4,000 kilometers, these equipments make me happier and happier!

It has been more than four years since running, and the recorded running is more than 4,000 kilometers. From intermittent running at the beginning, it has been running for 130 weeks. From Xiao Bai at the beginning to a person who has run several marathons now, I am not an avid runner, but an ordinary runner at best. Today, I want to share some personal opinions and experiences about running with you on the topic of running.

PS: It’s purely personal experience sharing, and there are many broken thoughts. The equipment is shared behind, so you can collect it and study it slowly.

People who are familiar with me may know that I started outdoor sports before I started running. I can’t remember the original motive force, but I just like the feeling of sweating. According to the records of Yue Run Circle, the initial running distance actually starts at more than one kilometer every time.

From one kilometer to five kilometers and then to ten kilometers, it didn’t take long. People are really strange animals. I have always been a kind of person with poor sports performance during my school days. Who would have thought that after a few years, I actually took up sports spontaneously and gradually became a so-called sportsman around my friends.

With the deepening of running, I gradually realized the benefits of running:

(1) After running, you can climb the stairs without breathing, and the frequency of catching cold is obviously reduced.

2. Obviously not fat, but there is always fat in the abdomen, and the swimming ring disappears unconsciously.

3. The problem that the bed is not warm for half a day in winter is naturally solved, and I have become my daughter-in-law’s favorite warm bed.

4. I am usually listless at work, and I have become full of energy and people are much more active.

⑤ I began to pay attention to the professional running WeChat official account, looking for information to recommend my friends to join in sports.

Many benefits can be written out in a laundry list. The biggest advantage is actually: I turned running into a habit, made myself insist on exercising, and took exercise as a part of my life.

The famous Japanese writer Haruki Murakami wrote a book: What do I talk about when I talk about running? Many people may have seen it, but I haven’t.

What was I thinking when I was running?

Focus on your feet, pace frequency, stride control, posture maintenance, breathing control, these are all things I am thinking about when I am running seriously. Only by focusing on one thing can you do it better and get promoted more easily.

Occasionally absent-minded, that is, thinking freely. I always feel that running is the best time to talk to myself.

I don’t know when it started, people regard running as the best exercise to lose weight. However, this view is actually incorrect. Running is not for everyone, not for everyone, and it may not help you lose weight. Why? From my cognition, I said.

Many heavy people want to lose weight, so they start running directly, and they don’t take enough precautions. Even professional running shoes don’t have a pair. In fact, being overweight may not be suitable for running, because in the process of running, the knee needs to bear many times the pressure of weight, and people who don’t exercise often have insufficient muscle strength, which is easy to cause sports injuries.For overweight people, I personally suggest that you start to lose weight by walking quickly, and then start running after you lose some weight and get better physical condition.

Why can’t running help you lose weight? Take your legs and shut up. The last sentence is actually the most important. If you can’t keep your mouth shut, run past the barbecue stall after work at night and have another barbecue. Running for five kilometers consumes about 300 kilojoules of calories, and this barbecue has more than doubled. Will it be effective to lose weight? If you can’t keep your mouth shut, you can drink coke and sprite high-sugar carbonated drinks after running, and your calorie intake greatly exceeds your body’s consumption. It is estimated that running can help you gain weight.

Warm-up before running and stretching after running are the most basic common sense. I usually take dynamic warm-up and static stretching. The longer I exercise, the longer I need to stretch. Warm-up and stretching must be done, which can help you avoid sports injuries.

Novice runners are prone to blindly pursuing speed, which will bring unnecessary harm to themselves. Personally, I think beginners should pay more attention to the running posture, the standard of movement and the training of core strength, which are the basis of speeding up.

Here I want to recommend a WeChat official account for the wall crack:Huipao. There are all kinds of dry goods for running in WeChat official account.

Over the years, it must be a lie to say that there is no running equipment for chopping hands. There are many jokes about running, and the following one should be the most classic.

A friend, taking drugs, gave up several times and failed. Last year, I watched my friends run a marathon, and I also played it. I studied equipment all day, bought clothes, running shoes, watches, backpacks and supplies … I ran a marathon every few days and participated in competitions everywhere, from Hong Kong to TNF. It is said that I will go to UTMB this year. In order to save money to buy equipment, he even secretly gave up drug addiction. Now his family advises him to quit marathon every day and let him take drugs again.

The paragraph belongs to the paragraph, and the money spent is still spent, and equipment investment is essential. Over the past few years, under the guidance of many runners, I jumped into the pit in into the pit and accumulated some experience. Next, let’s share my personal experience with running equipment!

When I first started running, I heard the old driver around me recommend Arthur, the so-called "king of running shoes". Later, I realized that this title was actually given by Chinese people, and I could only silently shed tears of being fooled. In recent years, the main used running shoes have been recorded in the Yuepao Circle APP.

GT2000-3 and Kayano 23 both spent more than 500 yuan, which were purchased from the Outlet of the US Emperor and Netease Koala respectively. To tell the truth, I don’t have much feeling about how excellent these two pairs of running shoes are, but I feel that the shoes are too heavy when they run to the back. Later, after consulting relevant information and the evaluation of other runners, it was really a running shoe suitable for heavy runners.

If you really weigh a lot, and then you like running very much, and you want to hurt your knees less, you can consider starting with Kayano and GT series running shoes.

Nike’s Pegasus 34 and 35 are my main combat boots in the past two years. On the whole, these two pairs of running shoes give me the feeling that they are very cost-effective, and even can be said to be over-valued. Because the time I started is basically clearance, and the price is around RMB 320. The problem of pressing the instep of Pegasus 34 and Pegasus 35, which has been criticized the most, seems to be nothing for me, who has a normal arch and doesn’t like to tie my shoelaces very much. The comfortable and breathable Pegasus 35 is better, and it is lighter than Arthur GT and K series shoes with Gel gel, which is more suitable for thinner runners like me.

Now Nike Pegasus has come out to the 37th generation. When Pegasus 35 runs enough miles, I should still go to the factory store to collect a pair of Pegasus 36 or Pegasus 37 with good price.

After Arthur’s jumping pit, I began to understand that running shoes are consumables. As ordinary runners, instead of pursuing the price of running shoes, it is better to spend more time training their pace frequency and core strength.Because the best equipment is your body.

Soconi Victory 5 is a running shoe measured by many people. As the flagship top-level cushioning model, it is also a pair of running shoes suitable for overweight runners. Victory 5 gives me the biggest feeling that it is wide, comfortable and breathable. I prefer wearing it to commuting than running.

Suokangni is praised as Rolls Royce in running shoes by Chinese people. This brand has a long history, and it is a matter of opinion whether it is as powerful as the legend. Their Kivara and Freedom series are the styles I want to start with, with a gap of 4mm and a weight of 233g, which is a good choice for runners who want to try lightweight running shoes and forefoot landing first.

As for running shoes, I haven’t started much, and the conditions at home don’t allow me to spend too much. During this period, I also passed through New Balance and Skechers. Personally, I think New Balance’s running shoes are worth a try, but the domestic premium is high.

To sum up, the feeling is: don’t trust others to recommend your brand or style. What suits you is the best. It’s not that your shoes are not good enough, but that you haven’t practiced hard enough.

In addition to running shoes, runners pay more attention to running watches. So do you need a running watch? The answer is not necessarily.

If you are a beginner who just started running and just need a device to help record the pace, check the time and control the heart rate, then a sports bracelet can meet almost all your needs. For example, mi band 5, which just went on the market, has heart rate monitoring, multiple exercise modes and NFC version with its own payment function, which is comprehensive and can play.

So what kind of person needs a sports watch? If you think these functions of the watch are not enough to meet your needs, then you can consider sports watches. Speaking of sports watches, it is estimated that most people pick out two brands in their minds: Songtuo and Jiaming. A Finnish national treasure brand, a professional outdoor watch brand, and another one have accumulated quite a lot in the domestic running circle.

I started as a user in mi band, and later my running friends presented the first and second generations of Apple Watch. Can an Apple Watch be regarded as a sports watch? Aside from battery life, in fact, Apple Watch is really enough, as long as you can fully charge it on time every day. The experience of interaction and UI design is much stronger than other watches. If you only exercise occasionally, you don’t rule out charging once a day or once every two days. Personally, I think Apple Watch is also an option worth considering.

Songtuo 5 is my first professional sports watch, and its tough appearance is full.

The battery life is about one week, and it supports a variety of sports modes. These are advantages, but personally, the battery life in one week can’t reach my expectations at all.

Jiaming 245 is a lightweight sports watch that I like behind me. I planted grass after watching the evaluation of other big bosses.

Later, after a detailed understanding, I found that the battery life is only about one week, so there is not much difference compared with Songtuo 5, which I started before, except that it is lighter.

Under the recommendation of a friend, I got to know the domestic sports watch brand, Coros Gao Chi. I won’t talk about the basics of searching for stars quickly and recording accurately. What shocked me more was the endurance. The first time I experienced Coros APEX, I walked all the way in Phoenix Trail in Hong Kong. The 70-kilometer route, recorded in three days and two nights, completely convinced me.

Gao Chi Sports Science and Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (Gao Chi for short), COROS (Gao Chi) was founded in 2014, bringing together many outstanding talents in sports science and computer fields, and devoting itself to developing intelligent outdoor equipment for professional sportsmen and adventurers.
After five years’ precipitation, Gao Chi has launched four sports watches since 2018: Pace with a thousand yuan class, APEX with high cost performance, APEX Pro designed for cross-country racing, and VERTIX for extreme outdoor environment.

Pace is a thousand-yuan-level cost-effective product made by Coros. It has a daily standby time of 30 days and can be used for 25 hours in high-precision GPS mode. The whole weight of less than 50g is the advantage of this watch. Of course, the price of 1399 makes it stand out among many well-known foreign outdoor watch brands. Compared with the entry models of Jiaming and Songtuo, Pace has considerable competitive strength.

The old Pace has been removed from the shelves, and the new Pace 2 has been put on the shelves, with a weight of only 29g. It is an excellent racing watch, and interested children’s shoes can pay attention to it.

APEX is the second sports watch released by Coros, with sapphire glass dial, titanium alloy bezel and high-hardness polymer body, light watch body and only 55g weight, and 100 meters waterproof. APEX is very pleasing in terms of configuration and appearance.

The design of the digital crown once gave me the illusion of returning to Apple watch. Although the function is different, the interactive way of the knob is much more convenient than pressing the button repeatedly. The battery life in high-precision GPS mode reaches 35 hours, which fully meets the cross-country running needs of advanced runners. As soon as APEX was released, it became a popular product that many runners rushed to buy.

APEX Pro is aimed at the increasingly hot cross-country runners in China. The addition of double-sided titanium alloy fuselage makes APEX Pro more durable and has stronger fall resistance.

APEX Pro has added touch, blood oxygen detection, plateau protection, storm warning and other functions on the basis of APEX, and has a proper high-end outdoor table attribute.

APEX Pro’s battery life has also improved relatively. The battery life in high-precision GPS mode reaches 40 hours, and the battery life in power-saving mode reaches 100 hours, which means that APEX Pro is fully qualified for this long-distance cross-country race of four days and four nights.

VERTIX was launched in May 2019, and the cool packaging alone makes people feel how hard this outdoor watch is. Sapphire glass, double-sided titanium alloy body, blood oxygen measurement, storm warning, plateau protection, 3999 yuan pricing target is Jiaming, Songtuo 6000 yuan configuration.

VERTIX’s endurance reaches 45 days daily, 60 hours in high-precision GPS mode and 150 hours in power-saving mode, which can meet the record of outdoor sports data for one week in a row. In the evaluation articles of many runners, the adjectives for endurance are basically: "incredible" and "extremely abnormal". In the comparison of product coefficients at the same level, COROS VERTIX has obvious advantages in battery life, and its weight has reached the lightest weight of 76g.

VERTIX, as a watch that locates in extreme outdoor environment, is 150m waterproof and-30. It can be said that most outdoor environments can be used. With the addition of blood oxygen monitoring function, outdoor people can get more data support at high altitude and make a relatively more accurate judgment on their physical condition.

Attached is a comparison of all product lines of Coros sports watches for the reference of interested friends.

Domestic products should strive for self-improvement. I believe that Coros Gao Chi will be able to make its products better and better with the spirit of Excellence, and let everyone see the unusual made in China!

Running shorts, it sounds like a pair of shorts, nothing special. In fact, for runners, there are many tricks. Five-inch, seven-inch, nine-inch, with liner, with compression pants function, five-point compression pants, seven-point compression pants, etc., I just name so many kinds in a random column.

In recent years, there are only a handful of running shorts that I often wear, two New Balance, one Adi football pants, one Terrama compression pants and one Nike running shorts that I just started.

Whether running shorts need to have an inner liner really depends on personal habits and comfort during running, and how comfortable it is based on the principle of not grinding the crotch. As for the compression pants, it may be that I run too slowly, and I personally feel that they are not very useful. I have not used them after wearing them several times.

The new Nike running shorts feel quite good, the fabric is comfortable, quick-drying and breathable. I got 106 during the period of 618, and the price is not expensive.

In addition, Love Burning Gearlab is also a domestic brand worthy of attention. The product comfort is quite good, and the waist has its own storage area, which is convenient for placing mobile phones, energy glue and salt pills.

Quick-drying T-shirts are the biggest consumables in my running equipment. The brands range from UA to NB, from Decathlon to Xtep. Finally, more and more people participate in the competition, so they directly wear marathon clothes for training.

When you wear a quick-drying T-shirt, you prefer to wear a vest to go out for training in the end, because it will not be tanned into black and white arms. I have experienced the vest of Decathlon 19.9 before, and the breathability is ok, but the upper body effect is average, so I lost it after wearing it for a while. Nike’s DRI-FIT always looks good. Children’s shoes in need can be tried.

Later, I wanted to buy UA, but it was too expensive. Fortunately, last year, Guangma got the legendary Adi vest with good style and comfort, and now it has become my main training shirt.

With regard to quick-drying clothes, it is most important to have your own preferences and comfort. To put it bluntly, you are covered in water after running, and you usually go home to take a shower and change clothes after running. Therefore, personal requirements for fabrics and brands are not so high.

I saw the love burning vest a few days ago, but I took the opportunity to pull out the grass decisively. The price is not cheap, but the comfort is really good.

As for compression clothes, I don’t like the feeling of tightness. I bought a UA and left it idle not long after. Speaking of compression suits, I personally think UA’s American team series is still very nice. This is the uniform of Shenzhen’s love-running hero running group.

I used the small accessories such as the empty top hat and sweat belt late, but these are also good equipment that can never be put down after use. In the hot summer, the direct sunlight is very strong, and a comfortable empty top hat can cover the face position, not to mention that the eyes will be more comfortable.

As a hardcore O-fan, I started this empty top hat of Osprey for the first time and wore it in many competitions and trainings in the future. Sweating and guiding functions are very good, and the weight is very light.

This empty top hat is made for love burning, and the customized version of Osprey has been discontinued. If you are interested, you can start with love burning, but the color is different.

You don’t need sunshade when you are in fun run, so you can choose a sweat belt. My sweat belt is a headlight belt removed from Fenix headlights. Headlight belt is adjustable in length, comfortable to wear, with reflective logo, safe and reliable.

Of course, more runners use silicone sweat belt. Personally, I don’t think it is necessary to pursue the brand too much, just choose a product with high cost performance that I like. For example, Nuoke’s product with hook and loop adjustable length and double-layer sweat guide groove.

Many children’s shoes that like running like to wear headphones and listen to music for exercise, and it seems that they will be more excited when they step on drums and rhythms. When I was a beginner in running, I started with Bose Soundsports Wireless Bluetooth headset, and music with 180 drum frequency really helped me to improve my pace frequency.

The price of this Bluetooth headset is about 600, after all, it was a product four years ago. Moreover, the rubber sleeve around the earphone will begin to fall off slowly after one year of use, which has happened to several friends around me, indicating that it is not an accident.

This headset supports Bluetooth and NFC to quickly connect to mobile phones, and it comes with voice prompt function, which is faster than Bluetooth headsets on the market. In terms of wearing comfort, Bose’s shark fin experience really has nothing to say, and it will not feel uncomfortable if worn for a long time. If you like TWS style, you can also choose Bose Soundsports Free.

When my Bose Soundsports Wireless entered a state of war damage, I began to adapt to running without headphones. Listen to your own footsteps, listen to the birds on the greenway, pay more attention to your breathing and rhythm, and feel more comfortable running.

As for running purses and arm bags used to carry mobile phone accessories, individuals prefer running purses, and the thinner the belt, the better the experience. It is not easy to loosen, and it is basically unnecessary to adjust and pay attention to the purse when running down the marathon. In the later stage of running, except for carrying a mobile phone during the race, I started not using my purse a few years ago.

Health is the capital of the revolution. Only by enhancing one’s immunity can one have a healthier body to face the pressure of life and work. I suggest that in your spare time, don’t forget to spend more time exercising to keep yourself young.

Exercise is a happy thing. The purpose of buying equipment is just to make exercise more comfortable. Everyone can do what they can according to their own needs.All in all, what suits you is the best!
