where do I find this watch???



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.

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 http://www.mindfulness.com/of1.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.

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.

You ultra marathoners are all the same!

I was actually thinking it would be a good replacement for my Casio 30 lap watch. But I'm not going
to part with it just yet. 11 years and still going.

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
attempt, "Find a pace that feels real comfortable, and then run slower."

That's because your too damn fast. After menopause you tend to measure time in glacial increments.

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
moronic Yankee. Could your offspring be flying A-10s in the Gulf currently, or manning stop
patrols on roads?

Go for a long run and push it 101 times. :)
