3. HRV, Balance, the Comparison Trap, and life updates
This is another freeform episode where we chat about our own training, some of the gear that we like, protein powder, books, and keeping from falling into the comparison trap.
Here’s some of the gear we chatted about:
Garmin Fenix 6s - this is the watch that we both wear! We talk in depth about how much we like it and how garmin did a great job pushing out updates to it when they launched the newer model, the Garmin Fenix 7
Here’s the head to head comparison we talked about.
Liz also mentioned that she’s probably getting the Oura Ring (this is just a product link, we have no affiliation), specifically because it has temperature sensors and there is a clinical trial with a fertility clinic.
Here’s how the Oura stacks up to Garmin for HRV. (it’s pretty great actually! If garmin would add skin temperature cycle tracking, there would be no need for Liz to get the ring!)
Protein Powder, there are a lot that we like:
Orgain: Liz is obsessed with the Peppermint Hot Chocolate
Vital Proteins: Vital Performance Chocolate
Vega Protein: Naomi has been a fan of this brand forever!
Athletic Greens: We drank the kool-aid on this after hearing David share his experience on the “Some Work, All Play” podcast.
We also went over what we’re reading right now:
Naomi: Running with the Kenyans by Adharanand Finn
Liz: Peak Performance by Brad Stulberg and Steve Magness
