Se andas de avião: Phones com noise cancelling Se não andas de avião: Phones com noise cancelling (Arranjei há uns anos uns da anker, os SC Liberty 4NC foram dos 50 paus mais bem gastos que tive. Não faltam opções decentes, mas estes são porreiros para chamadas e a bateria dura imenso). Outras coisa

Watch recs
I also have a garmin forerunner 265s- and love it- I upgraded from the forerunner 55. I liked the 55, but upgraded bc I was ready to track more activities and was interested in the other stats- but the forerunner 55- allowed me to track my runs, walks, yoga, and strength-and is a bit more affordable

Which watch are you using for running?
Garmin forerunner 55. It’s basic, functional, and the battery lasts a long time. It gives me just what I need - time, pace, distance, lap function, etc. I am not interested in endless data and analytics. I don’t want a sleep score, stress score, etc. things like that would probably do more harm than

Any tips on getting faster as a bigger runner? Current weight: 260. Fastest 2-mile: 17:14
Lots of easy miles like everyone else is saying. If you don't have a watch get one and try to keep your HR low. Do not run based on distance but based on time and HR. Try to stay in the lower zones. I have a Garmin Forerunner 55 and I really like it for the watch. I run 5 days a week for 5 hours tot

Suunto Race 2 is what finally allows me to move away from Garmin
DCrainmaker gave the previous race s a great review. he even praised the heart rate sensor! i bought mine off the back of that (and other fittech 'influencers') and was totally shocked by how much of a downgrade it was from my garmin FR55 (yes, really). not in the screen and GPS and that kind of stu

Fenix 8 Pro is useless...
I mean, Garmin Fenix are specialist watches geared towards specific purposes. If you are just a casual active person, they are way cheaper options from Samsung or Apple, but also from Garmin, (forerunner 55 for example). If you are a bit more serious, you can buy a mid range device. The Fenix line i

Just started running and I’m exhausted in 20 seconds. Zero stamina. Feeling lost.
Make sure your "running" pace is slow. It may actually feel too slow at first. When your stamina runs out, walk for a while. It's fine, nobody cares, there's no fail state here (other than not trying at all). Tomorrow if your legs/feet hurt or feel tired, just walk. If they feel fine, throw in some

What’s in my bag- protest edition
I am brown and need a way to let my emergency contacts know if I’m detained when I’m living my life every day. I want to be able to yell at Siri to enact emergency plan. For protests I might leave it and only do Apple tag so contacts know where I’m detained. If you're going to be an active participa

What have you bought for under $1,000 that has made the biggest positive change in your life?
Garmin Forerunner 55, $300, has barely left my wrist in 4 years. Improved my fitness and sleep. I've got 4 years of health and fitness data and never had to pay another cent after the initial cost. Still going strong.
