Chip Timing Systems question
Our running club has been offered a donation to purchase a chip timing system.

Re: Tour de France moving to TSN/TSN2!
Yes and it will be in HD to boot!
last years coverage on OLN was basically non existent. Looking forward to the coverage and hope they get the live morning feed along with the evening replay.

Re: Sunday! So whatcha doing?
2010 ended with a good note and good news so will be back to a more structured training routine.
Perhaps a 7k run on the TM this morning and then time to dig out the decorations and de-Christmas the front lawn

Re: CBC’s The National reports on “Marathon Heart Damage”
Marathons were not meant to be leisure walks in the park, what did the researcher think they would find out with the study? Of course there is damage, The heart is a muscle and straining it damages tissue that is eventually repaired. That is how you build strength. It is no different than doing a st...

Re: Anybody hate barefoot / minimal footwear running?
I think one must consider the long term. When our ancestors ran to catch food etc etc etc they did not do so on pavement or concrete.
As they say "Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone."

Re: Time to start open water training
This whole thing of private lakes baffles me - it just seem wrong. Our neighbourhood is about a section, and when it was being built in the 1960s the developer put in two private lakes, this one for the whole neighbourhood and another nearby one just for the people who live right on it. So its priv...
