That’s impressive! I haven’t hit 3000 in a long time. My goal this year was simply to surpass my total miles from 2023. I should be just over 1700 this year.

 

I think I’ve broken 1k for the third straight year. Which is a little baffling to me even still. So 3k is insane.

 

Last year my goal was 3,650, to hit 10 miles a day average. Made it with two days to spare and ended up with 3,670. I'll be pretty well short of that this year, but I should still end up with enough miles to make it 10,000 in the last three calendar years. So many pairs of running shoes...

 

My buddy who works for On got me into their family Black Friday sale again so I snagged two more pairs. About to finish my fourth of the year.

 

Good luck to all the turkey trotters tomorrow morning. Hope you’re able to avoid the people running with strollers or dogs that inexplicably line up at the front of the starting line

 

real ones ran last weekend dyl

 

Have we had a watch conversation before?

This might finally be the year I upgrade to something more modern. I had a Garmin Forerunner 225 that lasted me about 8 years. Then I upgraded to a used 245.

I was also using a garmin vivofit when FitBit was the thing. Eventually I ditched that and wanted one thing. Settled on wanting the Venu 2 SQ but wanted to test out the shape and features so I found a Venu SQ for cheap on eBay. It’s been fun but I think it’s time to get something new.

Trying to decide between the Forerunner 265 or the Venu 3. I have an iPhone so I know notifications will be the most I get from something that isn’t an Apple Watch.

 

I am not a ton of help. My wife and another friend use the Coros Pace 3 and really like it. Most of the other people I run with use a Garmin Forerunner. I use the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and just understand that some of my running data may not be as accurate or precise. The main reason that I use the Apple Watch is so that I have a cellular option. I don’t know anyone with a Coros or Garmin that has the cellular piece, but just think Apple probably does it better.

 

I’ve only ever done an Apple Watch, but will be curious.

I've been on previously the Garmin Forerunner 935, then 945, now 955 Solar since mid 2023. 955 Solar because extended battery life, and full mapping/routes, all while still being light as a feather. It's touchscreen, but I never use it that way. I need mine to go 30+ hours on GPS mode so 955 is perfect for me. I know that isn't a cheap watch, but I mean, I put it through the ringer. I've always been able to sell off my old one when I go to the next.

If you don't need those features, then go with the 265. That AMOLED display looks wonderful and will do everything and more that you want! (there's also an AMOLED 965).

I've just got a Coros armband heart rate monitor to go with my Garmin watch. Two runs in and it seems to be bang on accurate. Excited to see more data from it since write based HR is usually a crap shoot, especially in winter.
