The route was also generally flat and did include more incline and the weather was bit more challenging with 60º F versus 30º F and 60% humidity. Last I ran with Apple Watch Series 3 and AirPods using Nike Run Club and the heart rate monitor. The difference is easy to remember up to four hours workout with streaming audio, GPS, and LTE with Apple Watch Series 4, and up to three hours workout with streaming audio, GPS, and LTE with Apple Watch Series 3.. I also switched from AirPods to Bose SoundSport Free headphones for music and voiceover feedback from Nike Run Club on Apple Watch for the sole purpose of this run. I also thought ahead and made Apple Music playlist with three hours of music that I synced to Apple Watch the night before the race. I usually just stream over Wi-Fi or LTE and let the sync my Heavy Rotation and For You playlists, and I wanted to minimize usage during the race.. Cellular on Apple Watch Series 4 was still useful for sharing location with friends tracking my progress with Find My Friends, and I enjoyed receiving encouraging messages throughout the race ... My running partner ran with my year-old Apple Watch Series 3 with heart rate monitor and Beats Powerbeats 3 headphones, and his watch struggled to last through the finish line at just over 2 hours 20 minutes..

I'm taking it easy for the next few days then returning to the flatter course with weather along the in two weeks for another half marathon. RED Sport Loop strap.
