yeah, that jumped out at me too...Like Josee, I also have a separate closet to fit all my running stuff. Not enough room in the bedroom.

I agree with the advice about taking long walks. They do help. Immensely, actually. My advice would be to exercise for the pure joy of it, not as a means to an end. Looking for results all the time will not help, imo. Go for a walk, feel the air, listen to the sounds and well, just smile. I think you'll find after a while,…

there is another one..it rhymes with "rocksicle" haha!

although, in winter, I wear a pair of wind proof underwear under my tights...so I don't get a junksicle. Personal enough for ya"?

no underwear...just a lube that s@#t up and hit the road! :bigsmile:

outstanding! love the fall!

For training runs, just time and hr, with it set to auto lap and auto pause. During a race, I usually have it set up for lap distance, pace and hr.

NYC Marathon in November..my second marathon. I just want to soak up the day and breaking 4 would be a bonus. :smile:

If I had to do it over again (US Army Infantry 85'-89), I would have done some more running before reporting. I would develop a base to run at the very least 5 miles. As was mentioned above, basic isn't all that bad. There is all kinds of apps for getting better at push ups and sit ups. Grab yourself a couple of those so…

Runners, especially beginners, drink way too much water. There is real thirst, and then there is drinking water to try to lessen the suffering. It's a psychological thing, imho. Chugging a bunch of water prior to, and during a run, is at best unnecessary and at worse, can kill you. My own rule of thumb is to stop drinking…

Since my body doesn't understand the difference between "jogging" and "running", then I don't care either. :drinker:

+1 I have both watches and I haven't regretted owning them or felt like I needed more features.

Go slow...then slow down a bit. I wouldn't do any speed work at all. That's a lot of mileage for 3 months, but every one is different, so maybe your body can handle it. One thing is almost for sure though. If you insist on doing any speed work with all that mileage, the likelihood of getting injured is somewhere near a…

Swim - 800 yds Bike - 31 Run - 34

How about bleachers? Usually local high school or college football fields will have some bleachers. I am not sure if it is an perfect replacement for running up a hill, but that might do. I have seen your workouts on strava and yes, I am amazed just how flat the area you live in is! I have heard of people doing "bridges"…

It does change the screen, but your other screens are still available..at least they are on mine.

I load up a workout for stuff like that. Warm up until lap press, workout, cool down until lap press. The ability to design workouts on GC and load them up to the watch is really slick, imho. I don't know what could be the problem with your watch, though. I have a 910 and 310 and both work well. One thing I do is to make…

I have an Oly this month (my first tri), so let's see if I can get some swimming in! Swim - 0 Bike - 0 Run - 7

As of 6/30 (miles): Swim: 1.7 Bike: 158 Run: 92.5 got a head cold, so I stayed out of the pool...so fail on the IM swim distance.

ahhh....when I re-read it, adding in a sarcastic tone, I see what you were saying. Sorry 'bout that!

grr..you suck dude..in..but I am not happy about it .

lol! not an exercise? you are doing it wrong... see: "Rule #10 // It never gets easier, you just go faster. (from here: http://www.velominati.com/the-rules/ )" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unkIVvjZc9Y (warning: language)

there is an mfp group there, as well (thanks Ken!): http://www.strava.com/clubs/myfitnessplanclub

It's all about the segments, challenges and competition. There are also a number of pro cyclists that you can follow, which is pretty cool. I notice that garmin connect is doing something similar now. :happy:

As of 6/18: Swim: 1.7 miles Bike: 59 Run: 35

Gaspee Days 5K, Warwick, RI - 170 30/167 M4049 KEITH ANGILLY 47 M 24 Meriden CT 22:57.8 7:25 23:03.5 They had over 1400 show up this year, a nice showing for my hometown 5k. This was a PR by 54 seconds, in pretty humid conditions. My age group winner ran a 17.29, which was closely followed by another 49 yo at 17:31. Those…

In! As of 6/10: Swim: 1.3 Bike: 40 (this includes stationary bike miles. I'll need a ruling on that! lol!) Run: 35 edit: needed to read more closely - inside miles count :o)

An app is a good suggestion, if you are looking to just try running out for a while. Just beware that, at least in my experience, a cellphone won't have near the reliability of a watch designed for running. But, cost-wise, you can't beat it. :o)

dcrainmaker.com is your friend...there are reviews of just about every watch out there. I am partial to Garmin and Carson already gave you a link to the 110, which I have owned in the past and liked. This one also looks interesting for an entry level Garmin: http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/05/garmin-fr15-firstlook.html

For a race, I eat a gel about every 30 to 40 minutes, timing it with the water stops. I get the gel out about a half mile before the next stop and grab some water on the way by. Everyone is different, but for me, I see no reason not to avail myself of something that gives me a proven performance benefit. And to the OP,…
