New Balance FuelCell Rebel V2 First Impressions // Amphipod + new Spring Energy 10 Mile Tempo Run - Ryan Clayton

Intro: This is a quick summary of “New Balance FuelCell Rebel V2 First Impressions // Amphipod + new Spring Energy 10 Mile Tempo Run” from Ryan Clayton. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points:

• Tested a new handheld water bottle that stays snug in the hand and can be tucked into a belt, eliminating the need to grip it constantly.
• Tried a 220‑calorie energy drink mix (passion‑fruit flavor) for on‑the‑go fueling.
• Ran a 10‑mile tempo session in a brand‑new, ultra‑lightweight shoe (≈8 oz) to gauge comfort and speed.
• Target tempo pace was about 7:30 min per mile, similar to a recent 10‑mile tempo the creator did.
• Emphasized building tempo and threshold work leading up to a 100‑mile trail event.

Workout Example:

1. Warm‑up 1 mi easy jog.
2. Run 10 mi at tempo pace (~7:30 / mi).
3. Keep the handheld bottle filled with water + a quick sip of the energy mix every 2–3 mi for steady fuel.
4. Cool‑down 0.5 mi easy.

Practical Tips:

• The bottle’s cut‑out lets you secure it in a flip belt, reducing swing and sloshing noise.
• Squeeze the spout to drink, which prevents leaks while running.
• If you’re new to tempo work, start with 6–8 mi at target pace and build up to 10 mi.
• Adjust the shoe’s flexibility by focusing on a relaxed stride; watch for stability on corners.

Closing Note: Give this tempo run a go, tweak the distances or paces to fit your current fitness, and track it in the Pacing app. Have fun and keep pushing toward those longer adventures!
