is the combat or transform better suited for marathon distances, e.g. 4 hours? why?

I don't run marathons, but run on a treadmill almost every day. The Transform headphones are lightweight and sound great. But, after 30 minutes wear-time with a bald head, you might feel the imprint from the rubber padded headband. If you've got a full head of hair, this wouldn't be an issue. You can adjust these so they don't rest so snug on the dome. Other than that, these are great and that minor detail is not a show-stopper for me, but I'd recommend that to the SOUL design team to modify it for comfort reasons only.

I took one jog in them and returned them. The cups made a squeaking noise that was so annoying and impossible to ignore. I stopped after about 5 minutes I couldn't take it. I couldn't imagine running a marathon in them. Also if you wear glasses, the ear cups will push your ear cartilage against the glasses. It was not a nice feeling - again only after 5 minutes, can't imagine a marathon.

Idk about the combat but the transform is really comfortable for an active life style, it's light and stays on ur ear very comfortambly the problem is the Sound quality, for the price ur paying the audio quality is really bad.

I've used the first generation Nike SDM unit(which is an accelerometer) with much success over streets, trails, and races. Over a marathon it was within 10 feet over the entire distance. So I plan to check this out, first without purchasing the shoes and just strapping the accelerometer to my shoe. Once calibrated, I expect it to behave the same as my SDM.Once you have a nano it is a pretty inexpensive running tool. I picked up a 1gb nano brand new on craigslist (sf) for $100. I will purchase one tomorrow and try it out over the weekend.

I dont know about turbo fire but combat' hiit workout is just as challenging as an insanity workout the combat punching anf kicking workout depends on your technique so in the begining they just seem like a long warmup but when you get the technique right you'll feel it my waist have gone from 73-70 cm in 60 days i have had an mixed week of workout This week but ill start a 2nd round next month if you buy try to get the ultimate warrior package i burned 400 calories in lower body lean out and the actual workout time is aprox 27min :)

It is best used for walking but I did jog just to see what it can do. The machine was just fine. As far as a full blown run I have no idea. I am not the running kind of gal. ; )

The comparison "chart": https://www.dropbox.com/s/u7w8hrzjqlg4pzo/Screenshot%202014-04-22%2008.43.48.png620 has (that 220 does not): VO2 max estimate Recovery advisor Race predictor Running dynamics However, it doesn't even reliably track miles, I regret the purchase. My last marathon, it cut short two of my laps, leading me to believe I was almost done when actually had more than a mile to go. Not helpful.

I am coordinated but stopped Combat because I couldn't stand it. The queing and the music is off beat. I think the movements are done way to fast to maintain proper form. I have done TurboFire and that is very fast. I simply stopped trying in Combat to keep up because I knew I was going to end up with an injury. There is no time to turn your body or step your feet to maintain form. I am disappointed in this Beachbody product.

only 4.0 miles an hour - which is fine for walking (which I do) but not okay for running

Can you change the intervals? For example, 5 minutes walk to warm up then followed by 1 minute of running and 1 minute of walking alternating for the remaining 20 minutes?

This gives you the ability to change the tempo-I think it is a great training tool. I use it for endurance running to help maintain a consistent pace. You also have a volume control--easy to workI have dropped it a couple of times and keeps on working.

Same for me ... very disappointing. Not good for a 5 hour marathon runner and forget it for ultras.

Yes! The download after your run is amazing. It is also much more accurate than devices that count your steps/revolutions bases on your stride/wheel size.

I cannot say definitively that the machine has the capacity to accommodate your requirements over the long haul. However, it is extremely well made with high quality materials. It has a large (compared to stationary bikes) and comfortable seat with a good range of adjustability. Most importantly it provides an excellent, no-impact workout in 30 minutes that I could not get on my treadmill. I'd say...go for it!

You may be able to do it because it is only 25 minutes and it has a lower impact version you can do. I usually do this dvd, then run a half a mile to 1.5 miles on the treadmil. I usually workout 5 days a week for 30-40 minutes and have been working out for years. Hope this helps.

It is quite bulky, and is not intended for quick movement(running, jumping, etc). If you want something you have a bit more freedom of movement in, I suggest you skip this one and continue your search.

It depends. If you want a running oriented GPS watch, the Forerunner 220 is better. On the contrary, if you want it for hiking or mountaineering, the Fenix is the way to go.

Yes, I have and they are fine, they don't "hold on to" much more mud than bare skin does.Also. all these comments about DON"T WEAR PANTS are plain old bullcrap There is NO reason not to wear a FULL combat uniform in these races if that's your thing. I and many others have done it. If you want to COMPETE then sure, wear lightweight gear. But for a fun run you can wear a 50'lb ruck and BDU if you want.
