I love TP! Glad you are using it!

That is where running with Power comes in. I gotta find time to post on that. It would not measure speed, but how hard you are working. 9:41 uphill is much different than 9:41 downhill, or 9:41 flat. But the power number would keep your effort the same. You canāt do that with speed alone.
If you have a few dimes to drop, I have a list of hardware for you to get.

Your numbers look great! Everything today looks like you nailed it. BG, cadence, the whole thing. š

Yes, your recommendation got me interested! I still have about 10 days left of the Premium Trial. I hope the free version is sufficient for my needs!!

Are you using [Stryd](https://www.stryd.com/) footpod then to monitor Power?? I think iSR and TP both support it. š

Yes!
Iād like to suggest a few things for youā¦
A bit of money, but well worth it, if you are interested.

Great job, @Trying! With all the different apps, youāre able to run outdoors and keep track of your stats like a treadmill. Iāll be getting a new watch soon and Iām seriously leaning toward the Apple. Again, wonderful job! š

Yes, I donāt have a treadmill, but Iām super impressed w/ what I can do w/ the Apple, esp its user friendliness. Maybe it isnāt as accurate or has all the great features of a Garmin, but it is very easy to use. And if you ever start Looping, you can even Bolus from it, of course, the main trigger for buying it!!! š

Yes, Iām definitely interested!!! Thank you for all your suggestions!! I checked out the Stryd, itās about $200 or so. Does it stay on your shoe pretty well through snow and rain??

It stays on fine. It is water-resistant. Rain is fine. But you donāt want to use it running through puddles or going on a mud-run!

@Trying
Which size watch did you get?
I have seen two sizes. I want to be able to see it when running. How easy is it to see the bolus screen when running?
Also, does it give you a bolus confirmation? That is one thing I am leery of. Not knowing if the bolus worked.

The larger size, 44mm. Very comfortable, and pretty easy to see due to the great contrast. A little hard to see time (real time) because it is in a small font when not on the default time watchface. Default has a large font time, so very easy to see. Easy to see BGs. I added Loop and Dexcom each as a Complication to the Infograph Modular watchface.
The Loop app is very easy to see all text. But I do still stop to do anything within Loop app on watch.
No, I donāt think is does give any confirmation that the bolus worked. When I bolused yesterday, I was leery, too, until I heard the clicks on the pod, but it took maybe 5 seconds before I heard it. I guess the Jojo-beeps doesnāt work from the watch. I would really like the beep confirmations on the watch, too! I wonder if that can be implemented, @dm61?? š

For me, the click sounds is just not usable when running. It would just not be loud enough!
So the beeps thing does not work when a watch delivers the bolus?!

The only thing I want to see is the bolus. I donāt even use Dex on most runs.
All I am looking for is a way to dial up a bolus and deliver it. I wonāt use the watch for anything else!!
Considering all of that, would you recommend the bigger face or smaller? Can I see the bolus amount on a smaller one?

Yes, I agree! I even stopped, and had to put my ear closer to the pod to confirm the click!

Sorry!!! I just did a test with a small bolus from the watch, and it **DOES** beep! Sorry for my previous statement. Probably yesterday I heard the beep but then I didnāt hear the click right away, so maybe that was why I was concerned. In any case, just now I heard the beep, and then immediately the click. So as long as you are attentive, the watch will give confirmation with Jojo-beeps!!! Please disregard my last tag to you, @dm61.

Bolus is very simple, and easy to see. I do check both Loop and Dex apps because sometimes the BGs are not insync. One may lag behind the other in getting updated from the phone.
I would still recommend the larger face even if you only use the bolus. The numbers are easy to see, but would be easier with the larger face while running.

Why arenāt you running with soft steps through wet grass, @Eric? I thought we were all running silently like ninjas! Did I get that wrong??

It isnāt really the running that would make it hard to hear, it is the music I am listening to!

TouchƩ.
And now this is awkward because Iāve been running with a cloth face mask and ninja starsā¦which, come to think of it, would make good alternative lancing devices.

ā¦which is what? What does @Eric listen to when running? š¤

Okay. Iāll go first.
I find Billy Joel to be the best running music so far.
Okay. Your turn!

A lot of one-hit wonders from the 70ās and 80ās.
A pretty big emphasis on soul, pop, and rock.
And a diverse collection of well-known artists - Barry White, Marvin Gaye, Donna Summer, Prince on one side, all the way to AC/DC, U2, Joan Jett, Loverboy, The Faces, John Cougar, and Yes on the other side.
EDIT
A few I forgot. Paul McCartney and Wings, Abba, and ELO.
And some more recent stuff thrown in too.
EDIT 2
And also Jackson Browne, Bob Segar, Kool and the Gang, and back over on the soul side, Bill Withers.
It would probably be easier to just say what is **NOT** on my list.
