  2. Well if you were on the up and up, you would have seen that you could order that ugly watch from the
    link you posted. Did they offer you a commission?

  3. WOW that is one heck of a watch.

    The only think I'd be afraid of is if it has a 12 hour limit. Meaning if you accidentally leave it
    running in "stopwatch"mode and it rolls over 12 hours you have to completely reset the laps before
    you can store any more of them.

    Read a little closer where the web site indicates the item is out of stock.

  5. Lallo,

    All runs are training runs to train the body especially the legs to be able to run without
    unnecessary tightness and minimal to no pain.

    In working with numerous runners over many years, all the stops are to minimize any tightness in the
    leg muscles. The idea being that for long distances, one wants to finish feeling the last few miles
    were a workout and not a deathmarch.

    The picture mindfulness.comof1.asp shows you how to roll from side to side and slide
    down the calf muscle.

    The more you stop and massage as you begin your running program, the less you'll have to stop and
    deal with the tightness as your time or distance increases.

    As Ed and others have stated, they work out the tightness in the muscles before, during and after
    their runs. I go for the massage rather than the stretching, as you may end up stretching the muscle
    fiber that hasn't knotted which will later join the knot and then be banded in place by the
    shortened fascia surrounding the knotted or shortened and contracted muscle.

    Thanks Very uch,

    I just felt (past tense) that if I was stopping and stretching on y little 2k run I wouldn't be
    iproving y fitness however now that I see that this is noral practise I will stop and stretch and
    aybe increase the lenth of the run by 300 to copensate.

    Again I apologise for asking a question sort of on the faq and appresiate all the answers.

  6. Why do I respond?

    I saw in several publications including USA Today (hardly a Republican mouthpiece) that there are
    several mixtures. I seem to remember 5 but there could have been more.

    I've never gotten beyond a 6 hour race though.

    It's an acquired illness. 🙂 Since it is a fairly flat 50, and if you behave on the early loops,
    I would think you should finish sub 12. Having said that, I would hold off buying the watch
    because once you finish the 50 you too will become ill and think about those races that go
    another mile or two. 😉

    The only advice I give for one of these and is often not understood or appreciated until the second

    After doing some more testing, it looks like it will go more then 12 hours.

    I use my Timex Ironman to record some hills in the area and if I forget and leave it running, I'll
    find the only way I can store more laps is to reset all the laps.

    I've also found out that if I try saving more than 50 laps, it will save the newer ones and delete
    the older ones. I think that part is pretty cool. But I wonder if that will quit working the same
    at 100 laps.

    You're not very good with analogy, are you? 'Glacial increments' doesn't even make sense, you
