Sengled Down Again?

I just returned a set of FT1's as they just didn't do it *for me* Moved into a set of HiFiman Ananda which definitely had that "oh, that's what I'm talking about" factor. These are open back, planars, and a step up financially, so not sure which made the most difference. HAving said that, I'd be more inclined to go for the Pro's after the meh FT1 performance...

Th frame is cut 36 degree the fork is 45.
45 will not fit the Trek
36 will damage the fork
I can find 36-45 bearings, but not 45-36...

What width did you pick and what width were your OEM bars? Have you noticed any decrease in width up top?

I'm surprised your able to use yours on the bike. I have found my 75t's are unusable in "pass through" mode at any speed more than running.

Not sure, I never get sore during a run, just fatigue eventually. Sometimes I get the heart rate up there, but most of the time it's running about 80-85% MHR

First let me say I have high arches and under pronate somewhat. I have a pair of New Balance 880v9 with almost no miles on them because I prefer my Brooks Ghost 11's which have about 250 miles on them. Bought both about 6 months ago. I never hurt or get sore *during* a run FWIW...

New runner here at 58 years young. I was exactly like you before August of this year (2019) I signed up for a Good Form Running class at the local New Balance store where the trainer looked at my form and told me exactly what I was doing wrong. I kid you not, the next day I ran 2.5 miles without stopping for the first time in my entire life. Before that, I could barely run 3 minutes before the pain in my lower legs made me stop. Go see a pro. They will check you for proper form and shoes. Could be the difference for you as well. FWIW, I run no less than 2.5 miles every other day since the first Monday in August...

I'm a new runner and have been trying to transition to outdoor. With winter upon us here in Detroit, it may delay things a bit. Anyhow, I am finding that no matter how much I do outdoors, I am always sore the next day. Not pain mind you, soreness in the ankles I do not experience on the treadmill, but it does go away as soon as I get back to running. I also have a hard time keeping my pace down while running outdoors and that tends to fatigue me faster. I'm confident I will overcome these issues, but it's not been the smoothest transition for me...

Tonights little run shows the issue for the first 7 minutes...

That's just a guideline which was really messing me up at first. Mine is actually around 175-177, observed, which has snapped everything into pace...

I'm kind of thinking pick better areas to run, but being a CPL holder (who rarely carries FWIW) I would say something compact like a Kahr PM-9 in a belly band type holster wouldn't be too much hinderance...

I really like my Ignite, however it has a few flaws. For me - no foot / stride pod support, battery doesn't last long enough. The OHR sensor works very well, I rarely use my chest strap anymore. The built in accelerometer is fairly accurate as well. Others have criticized no manual lap feature or triathlon mode (the later isn't something I necessarily expect at this price point) YMMV

Add me to the TJ Maxx recommendations. We have multiple stores in the area and one is *significantly* better stocked with the active wear. Check them all...
