ILX running running thread

ice, elevation, u know the usual

it doesnt sound like its that bad right now tho could easily just go away - obvs thats a call u need to make yrself - id read up on it

I actually like running in the rain. But then I live in Portland.

i definitely prefer/miss running in seattle rain to running in east coast cold!

i like running in the snow

ugh i havent been running in over three months

trying to psych myself up now but my god i have totally forgotten what i like about it now

ran ten miles of ten minute miles today - havent run that long in a while - felt good - totally crashed after

WHAT!? that's amazing/ridic!

ty! its good for me def

it's fantastic!

how warm do you typically dress before a run in this weather ice? I'd like to start again.

i wear sweats and hat and gloves add thermals if its below 20 - you generate a lot of the heat yrself - obvs everyones different tho

it's fantastic!

lol there are some on this very board much more accomplished than i

does anyones teeth ever hurt when they run?

Haven't experience that pain. I'm sure it's just on the horizon for me.

my friend who i ran w/yesterday has one of those garmin satellite watch units and he sent me all our stats - omg i think i need one

i mean i kind of had already resolved to buy one tbh but now its just like

what abt that thing u can plug into yr ipod

is that good

idk y im asking i cant afford anything anymore

that thing i believe is somewhat less good as its not gps, just goes by movement, much cheaper tho

prob still p sweet tho

i have have not used one clearly - i do have opinions 4 u tho

Get a garmin. Seriously. You won't regret it.

o im getting one

I probably wouldn't run if I couldn't get detailed data from it.

yeah i have no doubt it will make me better at running

i guess u r both bigger nerds than me huh

yeah prob

anyway i tried running yday and i made it about 2 miles and thought i ws gonna die but today i ran three and it was fine, i guess its not *exactly* like starting from scratch

feel p good also

ipod thing is like a glorified pedometer basically... cool for tracking speed/distance/calories, but no info about terrain or mapping.

i mean for $20 it is cool obv you get a lot more when you spend $$$$$$ for a garmin

a peak into the garmin world 4 u

like a garmin (GPS & nike+ integration) but not huge and hopefully not too $$$

whatre the benifits of nike+ integration besides that it seems just like the garmin (many garmins r not huge btW)

I am the lowest-tech serious runner I know (apart from shoes) but I do see the the appeal of a Garmin.

what is the P Park circuit, 6 mi?

3.35

oh! that short eh

oh man if my husband sees that garmin thing it's all over for me - he's a total nerd for that sort of stuff.

do i have to have actual nike shoes to use this??

they are awesoem for hikes and bike rides, i think j definitely needs one!

i don't have nike shoes. i have my sensor wrapped in plastic and then attached to my shoe under the laces with duct tape. ghetto but it works!

you might get better results with it in a nike shoe? but i think if you are wearing it this way consistently and make sure to calibrate properly, it should work fine.

hmmm maybe i will start off with a couple of those for us?? although lol i think i can barely make it a mile right now. our first outing was hilariously bad - thought i was gonna die from a heart attack, my legs were fucked for two days afterwards, super sore shins and hamstrings. but then we went out a second time and it was still way hard but it somehow 'cured' my leg pain?!

You can get a Garmin Forerunner 205 for around $100 these days if you shop around. Essentially the same thing as a 305 except without the heart rate monitor capabilities. It looks bulky, but you get used to it pretty quickly.

I use a Garmin 310xt and love it. I use it with a footpod to track cadence and heart rate monitor.

ok apparently he already has a garmin for his bike, and he hasn't nerded out on it at all.
