Re: Cadence

Over the past two days I went for a few runs to try out the metronome app I download. I set it to 175 bpm (I know, 180 is the magic number but I'll build to it) and just focused on quicker feet. I also used my garmin footpod and set the display on my watch to cadence, this kept things accurate/consi...

Re: GPS Watch with Heart Rate Monitor - Newby Question

I highly agree with Jwolf, buy this type of product from MEC or REI. I've gone through a Nike gps sportswatch, 2 Garmin forerunner 210, and I'm on my second forerunner 310xt, this is all in less than 2 years. No problem return/exchange with MEC and REI. In my opinion the Garmin watch is more accurat...

Cadence

I'm looking to improve my running cadence. My average steps per minute will range from 166-170 (according to my footpod sensor). Can anyone recomend any drills or have any advice on turning my feet over quicker? I've heard of using a metronome, can anyone recomend an app or device?

Re: Top 10 running fashion faux pas

I can't wear tights with shorts over them (just wrong for a guy), I think girls could get away with it. I saw a guy running in a half marathon with an all blue one piece tri suit, and matching blue calf guards, he scored big time on the running fashion faux pas.

Re: The runners wave?

If I'm taking it easy and running at a comfortable pace I smile and nod but most of the time I get ignored (mostly by the younger folk I noticed). I choose to believe they ignore me because they can tell I enjoy running way more than they do. :wink:

Re: Lets talk rest

Personally, a rest day for me is just as important as my intervals, or my longer endurance runs, or even hill repeats. To me quality of training is more important than quantity. A rest day is important to me because allows me to recovery from hard training. When I study my training journal my best r...
