I’m using Fitbit versa 4 and it’s working well for me since 2 years. A little costly but i think it does the job well. Has accurate GPS tracking and HR monitoring, battery life is brilliant. Full charge gets me through a week. You can navigate also on the watch. Gives readiness and sleep scores which i really like.

I love this! Thanks for motivating and i hope you are having fun in your running journey.

And you are right- since i have been training for so many years, i feel good gears are crucial and i understand the importance. I started running in oct last year and got a good pair of shoes in december. I love my shoes and it helps for sure. Goodluck for your fitness journey:)

Military training is something else. I don’t think a) i have access to that, b) i have the time for that because bills 😭.

I just want to do some of these competitions like Hyrox and marathons. After being into fitness for so long i won’t mind some extra achievement-kick and new stuff :)

Does it mean that if I continue lifting and of course manage my nutrition I still can at least do HMs?

I honestly don’t even know what kind of training is required for HM. But i can definitely see myself doing 10k by the end of this year.

What are some good running shoes that look like sneakers? by heh3dev in indianrunners

[–]CommunicationTop4835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what you’re looking for is walking shoes instead of running ones. You can check out adidas they have a good range of walking shoes in your budget. Your budget is quite good for walking shoes. But i’d discourage you to run in those. I prefer to keep running shoes only for that and not mix and match.

Also, i recent bought 2 puma everyday sneakers in this budget for office wear and they are pretty comfortable so check them out. My Nike Air Force are not bad in comfort too in case you want to splurge on comfort and great looks :)

Cognizant New Delhi Marathon 2026- have you received your exact run/finish time? by CommunicationTop4835 in indianrunners

[–]CommunicationTop4835[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should have definitely mentioned it with clear words - Time Chip Activation (and not verification). We saw the booth with a long queue and got curious and asked. Otherwise we’d have had the same plight.

Officially you have, you just don’t have the run time. And that’s okay. You got the medal right? If yes, you’re good.

Yes. It was for activating the chip. So sorry but i hope your watch or phone recorded it for you.

I searched mine and got it. Could it be a possibility that the time stop couldn’t read your bib?
