    A fantastic looking hydration vest mate. I really like the look of those front water pockets. Interested to hear your full review/break down of it in the future. I also love the sound of this Downs link ultra. Such a beautiful part of the country. You guys are so lucky to have all that on your door step!

    • @BenNotley
      @BenNotley  Před 10 měsíci +1

      It's a great bit of kit Phil! It's not perfect but I don't think there will ever be a perfect race vest. Different people like different things but it's pretty good across the board. I will share my full thoughts in my review. It could be a good race for you mate. Not a huge amount of elevation and it's really runable. Thanks for watching Phil! 😎🤘

    Good luck with that. Must say have been tempted to try this one day as I have run extensively on the whole route - well the main old railway bit at least! Ought to be good for goal pace at the moment as the often muddy bits like Cranleigh-Baynards I imagine can't be too bad. It's "up" to St Martha's this year isn't it which must make it a lot tougher on one hand but maybe the wind will be more helping than not. Actually looks more like a cross wind. I like the two watch setup - at least you can be sure to "reveal" the full detail on your Strava including mileage per shoe.

    • @BenNotley
      @BenNotley  Před 10 měsíci

      I think you should give it a go Tim! I hope there is a tail wind mate that will be very handy. 👍 Bit of an altered course at the end too and we are finishing it Chilworth at the village hall but we have to go down the steep pipe decent down St. Martha's to the finish. Should be a good day out though. 😎🤘

    Hey Ben, would be interested in a Suunto Vertical review and your thoughts compared to Garmin Fenix 7. Same with your Speedgoats. Cheers.

      @BenNotley  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Cheers Reto! I will be speaking about the Suunto during this weekends race mate. It does beat the Garmin in some aspects but some others it falls short but some of them could be addressed with a few software updates. Thanks for watching Reto! 😎🤘

    Hey Ben, I am also a UD pack user but looking at something different and your review of the Instinct pack got me looking at their 12L version. I like the look of the pack access so you don't have to dive in from the top plus has 3x options for poles. Be interested to see what your thoughts are on quality.

    • @BenNotley
      @BenNotley  Před 10 měsíci

      Hi Shaun! The instinct pack I have been using is decent mate. Pretty comfortable with the fitting system around the side. Similar setup to the comfort cinch that UD use. It terms of fabrics they are durable but perhaps not a comfortable on the skin if you're going to be running in a vest top. I will go through a few more points in my review in the next couple of weeks. I hope that's helpful mate. 😎🤘

    Hi Ben-enjoyed the video, I was up at St Martha’s later on Saturday as part of my long run getting ready for Race to the Sea. Quick question- do you have any recommendations for a decent head torch as we come into winter. Cheers 🍻 and keep up the good work 👍🏻

    • @BenNotley
      @BenNotley  Před 10 měsíci +1

      It was a lovely day for a run in Saturday Seamus I hope you had a good one mate! I have 2 head torches that I use regularly I have Moonlight 800 and a Perzl Nao+ I have reviews of both on my channel. They are both great torches and both have great features. I really like the moonlight but the Perzl does have some cool features. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching mate! 😎🤘

    Hi Ben. How do you get such stable running footage in low light conditions? I only have to run under a few trees on a cloudy day and my Hero10 videos are really jerky.

    • @BenNotley
      @BenNotley  Před 10 měsíci +1

      I think I got lucky Mark 🤣 I don't do anything special. I just had my camera set on 2.7k 60fps I didn't fiddle with any other settings. Thanks for checking out the video mate! 😎🤘
