Re: Garmin forerunner 10
The Garmin 10 watch itself is great and a great value. The band design is too cheap and more than offsets the values of the watch. There are four pressure points instead of two. Two are connected by pins, which is fine. There are two other points where plastic adhesive is the conector. The wear endu...

Re: Around the Bay 2014
Ordering cheap shirts from China / Bangladesh / Saipan and then having them not arrive is not "circumstances beyond your control" I'm not ticked whatsoever at the Bay Race. I don't want an Ontario charity race to incur costs to expedite supplies because of an organized labour disruption i...

Re: Around the Bay Training Schedule
Consider a marathon training schedule but cut any race pace runs to 3/4 the distance and run these at 30K race pace instead of MP.

Re: Sports Drinks - useless or worse? (TV alert: Marketplace
Marketplace isn't a show about how to best train for a marathon, it's a show about holding businesses to account for the claims they are making. The show did it's job - it showed that sports drink advertising overstates the benefits and tries to sell the drinks to people who don't really need them....

Just saw this on Twitter - good stuff!
I live just east of Bradford - if there are days we are both driving to and from day of the race, we could consider a carpool.
But will see you there regardless. Good luck with the training.

I'm hoping to run this event. I will not know surgery date to repait a torn rotator cuff until late January. But if my arm is not in a sling, I will be running.
