Title is self explanatory but on days I have to resort to the dreamill, I know how to set up the speed/grade prior to starting the run, but as far as I can tell, the only way to adjust them once the run is started is by pausing the activity and then adjusting each one separately, then resuming the activity.

Hopefully this makes sense but it would be nice to be able to adjust the speed and grade I set the treadmill to without having to literally stop the activity

Hi yall! I’m in the southwestern US and while we’re over a month away from it officially being summer, I’ve already experienced multiple 100°F (37.8° C) days.

I’ve been practicing adequately hydrating the night before a run, and I bright salt caps with me and gels with electrolytes, but I feel like I just get drained so much more easily. And being where I am in the US, these temperatures unfortunately will be lasting late into September 😣

I’m a female and I don’t have anyone to run with, so runs before 3am before the sun rises are out of the question. Even at 6am it gets into the 90s during the official summer months here.

I LOVE running and can’t fathom putting it away for 3-4 months, and the dreadmill doesn’t cut it. Give me all your tips and tricks!

Hi! I just got an osprey dyna running vest with a 1.5L bladder and so far I’m super happy! I’m looking forward to getting to use it soon as the heatwave coming up in the southwestern US is brutal right now (106 expected high on monday 😭)

Anyway I have no idea how to properly care for this bladder, and I’ve seen some people online say they can grow mold quite easily.

The bladder I have does say “top rack safe” but I don’t quite understand how any water would get inside, yk? I’d prefer to hand wash it for my own peace of mind.

Some basic but silly questions - do you prefer to disconnect the hose from the bladder when washing it? Do you just use warm, soapy water and rinse it out well? How do you prefer to dry it? I have a drying rack that I could easily prop this open on, but I’m not sure about the straw

Title is pretty self explanatory but I’m curious for those who have both a pace 4 and the heart rate monitor, how close or how off is the watch when it comes to your heart rate?

So far my zone 2 runs put me around a 10ish minute mile with my heart rate on my watch averaging around 155-160. I’m not doubting that this is accurate but it would be nice to get slightly better metrics for training, especially as I’m new to longer distance runs and am looking to build up my aerobic endurance :)
