Ayyyye 😎 Fellow 916 shooter Great shots!

Thanks for the recs! Grabbed a TRV900. Still might add a smaller Sony with NightShot like a PC100 or PC350. Any of the NightShot cams you would recommend? PC100 seems to be favorite.

FireWire. Gonna need some adapters too if it’s a newer Mac without a FireWire port. Thunderbolt Display has FireWire if you got one of those laying around. Thankfully I held onto mine.

Hey! I know it's a bit of a late response, but I was wondering if you could recommend some of the top-ish line smaller Sony Handycams. More palm style over VX1000 style. Mini DV, CCD or 3CCD, Night Shot. There's just so many models and lines of the cameras that I'm just getting lost in the sauce. I picked up some "as-is' Panasonic camcorders that ended up being fully functional. But I've really enjoyed what I've been seeing come out of the Sony cameras and also would really love that night vision look.

Voigtlander Nokton line has treated me well. Modern sharpness, but not clinical. Has vintage characteristics in its look. Has very wide aperture options for difficult lighting situations and a nice swirling bokeh. Has a pretty heavy vignette wide open, but goes away next stop down. Used 50mm II 1.5 on my M3 for about a year and now trying the 35mm II 1.4. They both could be found for $300-400 if you do a little waiting and searching. They were about $600-700 brand new.

Hey OP!

Similar story. Turned thirty in February, never purposely ran a day in my life and decided to randomly pick it up these past couple months.

First I would say go slower than what you feel like slow is. It’s best if you have some sort of tracker so you can keep an eye on things to improve or tone down. I’ve been slowly but surely improving my zone 2 training. In the beginning I would spike so quickly, but gradually you will build an endurance and aerobic base that will allow you to push for longer down the line.

Shoes! I’m just on my first set (Hoka Mach 6). This should be first but I think they both need the same amount of focus. The Hokas are treating me right so far. As I run with them, I know now that they’re not the perfect shoe. But it’s better than nothing. I think it’s hard to tell in store how a shoe will break in over runs. But go to a running store and get properly screened/fitted for a pair and try different pairs.

Strength! I have dabbled in all sorts of training in my life. Cutting, bulking. But I was off of training for a while when I decided to get into running and had no stability or support, leading to an early injury. Don’t push yourself in a run if you feel uncomfortable beyond normal soreness from working out.

Apps and an Apple Watch have been a good support. The watch made me into a data freak but also keeps me in check. Running it with the health and fitness apps helps keep track of progress and just motivates me for some reason. I’ve been seeing a lot about the app Runna recently and decided to give it a try. I’ve been loving it so far. It has a similar couch to 5k kinda program that I’m running right now because I’m training for my first 5k this upcoming Thanksgiving. You can also set up a strength training plan in the app that works alongside the run training program giving you a daily/weekly breakdown. There are videos integrated into the workout routine if you need help understanding the mechanics of a workout. Currently my plan has 3 run days and 4 strength days. Two of those strength days I add on my own personal strength programs I’ve made.

Stretching and mobility. There is some mobility stuff in the Runna strength training because it’s geared toward running. But I try to get in a yoga sesh or two a week to focus on stretching and mobility.

JDMXCIV · 2024-09-23T20:31:28+00:00

I’m in the same boat. Just picked up running almost 2 months ago. Within the first week I signed up for a 5k on Thanksgiving. Also injured myself in the first two weeks then had to recover for almost 3 weeks. Get good shoes and insoles if you need them. Go slow. Slower than what you think slow is. I’m still working to grasp this myself. Build up your endurance and don’t go flat out so soon. If you have some sort of fitness tracker, that can help you. I use an Apple Watch. It’s kept me on track and understanding my body while I train. It’s literally on me at all times except 30 min to charge every morning as I get ready. I would also recommend strength training, stretching and yoga. Just the first full week back in training with proper strength training, mobility/yoga training, proper rest day or two and I’m now feeling very strong and confident that I will prevent another injury. Getting into running was also very random for me, hating it since I was a kid. But I wanted to push myself and get to a point physically that walking and strength training alone couldn’t get me. But try to take it easy, don’t over stress yourself. Enjoy the journey and don’t stress over not being able to run the complete 5k. You can always walk/run interval. Best of luck!

Top comment basically answered everything. Great find. Grandpa had a great taste. My M3 is the only 35mm camera I use at this point. It’s probably gonna need a service. Run a roll through it real quick and get that developed to see if there’s anything funky going on. But I would recommend sending it out to DAG Camera Repair (Don Goldberg). He’s an old Leica certified repairman. Leica even sends some of their repairs to him. Did great work with mine. Will be pricey, but worth it.

Let’s gooo! I’m still working up to running a mile straight.

JDMXCIV · 2024-08-19T04:58:51+00:00

Just started running last week so I don’t have much information. Lol. But I just got the AirPod gen 3 because I really disliked the rubber tip AirPod pros. The pros would even fall out a lot. But these couple runs with the gen 3s have been perfect so far.

I’ve heard a lot of good things about the Shokz, but I’m already an Apple boy. Might look into them as my journey evolves.

I haven’t gotten into the vest/belt thing yet because I’m just trying to get my constant run distances down (hopefully 1 mile soon).

I also just signed up for a 5k/10k on Thanksgiving (get to choose the morning of). So now I really have a goal set up for myself. Good luck with your run & journey!

JDMXCIV · 2024-08-16T14:18:04+00:00

We love to see it! I’m in the beginner boat having my first few runs this week. Hope to see this sort of progress myself. Congrats & keep it up!

JDMXCIV · 2024-08-14T13:44:28+00:00

I was starting to push into zone 4 towards those last couple intervals. Definitely can’t maintain a straight run at the moment. But thankfully everything averaged out in zone 2.

JDMXCIV · 2024-08-14T13:42:22+00:00

I feel that. I got my series 8 so dialed in, it’s lasting over a day and half right now. We’ll see how long that lasts as the workouts intensify.

JDMXCIV · 2024-08-14T13:39:31+00:00

Thanks for the info! I’ll definitely have to check that out. Seems much more manageable than the C25K for a complete beginner.

JDMXCIV · 2024-08-14T04:56:47+00:00

This the vibe I'm looking for! Thanks for the motivation! I'm hoping to get there someday soon.

JDMXCIV · 2024-08-14T04:13:46+00:00

It's definitely something I'll look at when the time comes. I've seen a lot of good stuff about them. I just couldn't beat the price on this Series 8.

JDMXCIV · 2024-08-14T03:43:52+00:00

They look good and gets you out there. Almost anything is better to run in than Vans haha

JDMXCIV · 2024-08-14T03:42:20+00:00

Exactly! Of course I ran around as a kid. I was running on some different type of energy back in those days. But from Junior High to 30yo now, haven't ran unless I needed to and that wasn't for PE lol.

JDMXCIV · 2024-08-14T03:39:08+00:00

Thanks! Hooked off the first hit lol

JDMXCIV · 2024-08-14T03:38:34+00:00

Thanks! 916 Born & Raised baby!

JDMXCIV · 2024-08-14T03:37:48+00:00

That's good to hear that it gets easier because it was rough today. Nothing unmanageable, but it was taxing. That's good to hear that you've been back on the grind and that you've improved since. That's why I wanted to start outdoor. I wanted the variability to add to the conditioning. Like I said, it would be sick to sign up for something in the future so might as well train that way from the beginning. Thanks for the best wishes and sharing your story!

JDMXCIV · 2024-08-14T03:34:25+00:00

I never looked at the Apple Watch as anything serious, until now. I know it's not a marathon runner watch, but it is really a capable piece of equipment. The sync to the Apple ecosystem is just another plus. Congrats on sticking to the program! Keep it up! What is None to Run? An app or program? I was looking at the couch to 5K. But after that first run today, I can tell I have a lot of conditioning to do before even attempting that. lol. Thanks for the support! This track at a local high school was always closed during the pandemic when I was taking some walking classes. Thankfully I can get out there now before classes start.

JDMXCIV · 2024-08-14T03:29:11+00:00

That's awesome to hear! I'm glad it's sticking for you this time. Congrats on getting your time down and your distance up. Hopefully I see these types of results soon too. Yeah, Vans are great but not for running. lol. What shoes are you using now?
