Iron Cowboy Conquer 100 Gear Review

Besides the obvious attributes of the Paradigm, such as the cushioned sole and lightweight breathable upper, the part that really makes a ton of difference after a bunch of miles is right up in the front. The forefoot is designed to allow your toes to do their thing, and support your stride.

The more naturally your toes are able to splay, the more stability you'll have. Also, the fact that there is the appropriate amount of room for your feet to function also helps cut down on strain and fatigue.

Some are resistant to zero drop and the duck foot look of the Altra lineup, but those are the two main design features that we love the most.

This lightweight, performance road shoe is made for heavy use. It’s flexible and offers a barefoot-like experience. This is a low-profile shoe if ever there was one. As far as overall fit goes, we mentioned the ErgoLogic 3D fit system above. this basically keeps your heels locked in place for a secure fit no matter who's foot is in the shoe.

The best part about this shoe is really what it doesn't have. Weight. It's a super lightweight cycling shoe with a well-thought-out and developed upper. The materials in the shoe's upper are breathable, stretchable (just the right amount), and durable.

You can see there are some overlays on various parts of the upper to increase overall durability. So if you aren't going to miss the strap closure, this is really a solid shoe. The price tag is a little steep, but worth it if your life revolves around cycling.

There have been quite a few updates to the 4th generation of Theragun Prime. The most notable upgrade is the inclusion of Bluetooth technology that pairs your device with your phone. This compatible app lets you plug in your previous workout, and it offers suggestions of muscle groups to work, as well as the duration spent on each muscle. It even adjusts the speed of the ball so you get the perfect amount of relief.

As this device has evolved over the previous generations, so has the quality of the motor. The 4th generation has developed a motor that is much quieter than previous versions without sacrificing power or effectiveness. One of the biggest functional improvements to the 4th iteration is the duration of the battery life. One battery lasts up to 150 minutes, which is almost double that of the 3rd generation.

Overall, The Theragun is worth every penny. I most likely wouldn’t have come to the same conclusion if this were a review of the first, second, or third generation of this device. The addition of the compatible app is a real game-changer. If you have no experience in muscle therapy, the compatible app does all of the research for you! All you need to do is plug in your workout, and the app not only tells you the muscle groups to target, but it also adjusts the speed of the ball to really work out the kinks.

This is more of a training tool rather than simply a GPS watch. Each time Garmin releases a new version on the Fenix, they seem to amaze even more. In addition to the regular running, cycling, and swimming metrics, the Fenix 5 Plus can also track Ski activities.

Now with improved battery life, the watch can run in active GPS mode for at least 50 hours, and even 100 hours, if you have the UltraTra battery saver mode, switched on. This one keeps getting better and better. This is probably one of the best options available right now, for the price, to track triathlon performance. While it might not track every little bit of data that you want, it's great as a stand-alone device.

While this is one of the priciest, it's also one of the best Garmin running watches and you will find it is a great investment. So if you are looking for something you can use in the long run, whether it's to increase your PR's or just to keep you motivated, then this may be great for you - if you don't mind paying a little more.

in collaboration with some of the best professional riders in the world, with ultimate performance for cyclists in mind, Koo designed the Spectro glasses with a range of high-quality lens colors and materials. This includes photochromatic lenses which adapt to changing light conditions, without the need to change glasses.

These were designed for optimal protection and comfort, but the biggest points go to the clear vision in various lighting situations.

While triathlons and obstacle course racing are worlds apart, there are some gear needs that crossover perfectly. Highly durable compression socks are one such item. Grit Army's socks not only offer graduated compression where it's needed but also stand up to rugged and repeated wear.

Compression socks can be an overlooked must-have for distance running. The graduated compression is proven to help reduce muscle fatigue over long distances, which Jame and his team are certainly covering during the Conquer 100.

We were told by the team that the JBL Clip is among the various gear that The Iron Cowboy and his team bring along. When James runs and bikes, every day people come out to tag along, which is one of the coolest parts about this whole thing. The only thing that could make it better is some music. We should have asked what's on the daily playlist.
