Puma's making moves

I don't think my FF55 is holding charge as much anymore. Charged this morning 100% and now it is 82%. I only used the bluetooth briefly this morning to load stats. I kinda noticed a week or two ago that the battery didn't seem to last as long but anyway. Is it worth changing the battery and where does one do this.

The battery as I understand is soldered in place. Prob better to buy a new watch. Take a look at the suunto run or, coros pace or forerunner 165.

Try shutting down/resetting etc first. Its a common issue.

Leave it on the charger till 100% + another hour then shut the watch off through the menu and leave it for a bit.
Next don't recharge it until it hits 20%.

If that doesn't work try a full factory reset also after the full recharge.

Doubt that will work. The lithium battery in the fr55 after 2.5 years degrades and struggle to hold charge. Not sure how old his watch is.

Over here it hasn't gotten extremely cold yet. Around 17°C or so. I've transitioned to long sleeved running shirt + shorts. So far end up rolling ip the sleeves halfway through the run. Have a tracksuit/tight (it's not quite either) pants I use when there's snow on the surrounding mountains.

What do you guys use for low light running to stay visible? It's alsmost dark by 6PM when my runs come to an end. I have a reflective belt and also have one of those blinking bike taillights I hold in my hand while running. Doesn't feel like it's enough since drivers take ages to dim their brights.

I have some arm bands that lights up that I bought on (Wait forr itttttt*)


Temu


Lastly I have cob light thats very lightweight that has a rear red light that also works fairly well that I use every now and then.

Feels like I'm coming down with the flu. Guess I'll have to skip running for the next couple of days.

Looks like the Takealot premium is quite steep.

I've got a sore throat and have started coughing, so chest is hit too. Strangely no congestion (yet).

Thats steep. Clear your temu cart, add 2 or 4 of those and leave it in there for a day or 2. Log in tomorrow and the day after. Temu will give you a discount after 24 or 48 hours. I bought 4 for R124 2 months ago. Import cost on the whole order that included some other things came to about 17%

The cob light I was referrin to that I also sometimes use on my early morning 4 or 5am runs
https://share.temu.com/utmdI3K4tLA

Cons- The battery's not great. It only lasts for about 2.5-3hours.

Pro's - super lightweight
- super comfy
- lights up a wide area
- perfect for runs during loadshedding or trail runs

I don't shop at Temu, that would be my downfall in buying random stuff just for fun. I'll see how the bike light works out for now.

the only brand name stuff you need is shoes. Keppies, broekies en hempies you buy where you get them cheapest

Anyone here saving for black friday already? I'll need to buy 6 pairs of shoes by then. I'm hoping that my current rotation and the few spares I have will last till then.
