  Today, I am talking about discussing, telling stories, describing some of my favorite running gear, accessories, gadgets, apps, all of the things.

• 02:08

  And I wanna talk to you about how I use them, why I use it, because to be honest, of all the questions that I get on social media or outreach through email, or even BPN's customer service email gets some of these questions,

  The first thing is a GPS running watch.

• 04:53

  And it drove me nuts.

• 06:45

  It's been very reliable for me.

• 10:11

  We were all wearing just like these analog G-Shock watches.

• 12:30

  One of the biggest mistakes I made early on when I first started running is I was running way too hard, all of my runs.

• 14:40

  There's some heart rate monitors now that you can wear around your arm, your bicep, and that syncs via Bluetooth to your watch.

• 21:24

  The watch was one, running shoes was another,

• 27:41

  That's my daily trainer for most of my runs.

  Once you train fueled, you'll never again train fasted in your life.

• 49:57

  That is how my legs get super tan in the summer.

• 54:01

  So Garmin, I use the Garmin apps.

• 55:48

  Again, I bought this with my own money, no affiliation, but it's this pad we have over our bed at home.
