Hi bro, the nike+ sportband is also a great cheap alternative.
Besides the usual heart rate, distance, calories etc you can also upload your run data into your pc to check your progress and to plan your exercises.
And don't worry about the sensor like i mentioned in my post earlier, u don't need nike shoes for it.
You can just attach it to the shoes ur currently using.
And best of all, it's RM229.
Pretty cheap for something that can track your running distance.

So happy today...my first ever 10km run...actually felt a huge sense of accomplishment.
biggrin.gif

1 hr 5min 10sec

Felt like I could go further but at the risk of collapsing.
One Question, anyone here ever collapsed before in a run? Be it in a casual/training/competition run?
Curious to know.

Eh was wondering, runners should have a pretty low resting heart rate right?
Just calculated mine, it's about 63 bpm.

- just saw in a running forum that a lot have about 50.
- ok acquired target tongue.gif

A huge improvement when i was slacking for the past few years. It was at about 80++.

Had a junior who had a rate of about 30+ - 40. Crazy...but he's a crazy runner...

runners with stamina usually regains back his normal heartbeat fast aka fast recovery. Some sportsman's heartbeat is very slow and steady, it differs individually.

from what i read you're not suppose to drink in a 5km or 10km race.
maybe just the first 5km drink a bit but after the halfway mark better don't drink cuz ur body won't absorb the water in time anyway.
suppose to be well hydrated before the race.
half marathons and full marathons are another story lah. smile.gif
*
nope. Marathon if you're running all the way it is advised not to drink at all. Only drink b4 races.

so its advised that when u run a marathon u dun drink water at all?
so why the many water stations in a full or half marathon event?
what can i say? great advice?
*
Yes. Depends on what marathon events, they have it for the public usually, those who can't stand. Not everyone go for marathons the main reason is to run ok. But if you're a real runner who run for competitions you should know not to consume any water during run cuz you'll slack eventually. Its common sense, so regarding your last question, its a yes biggrin.gif

Erm, may I know where you got your source from euphoria?
I really want to know that.

In case you don't realise, it's a 42km run.
EVERY article i've read about marathons encourage the runners to drink whether ur a pro or not.
And in every race i see even the winners drink something.
*
I'm a marathon runner and i know smile.gif heyyy we're talking about 5km and 7km run only =.=lll
42km of cuz need to drink water or else dehydrate.

QUOTE(d3vilzzzz @ Oct 27 2009, 08:56 AM)
hmm.gif participating in a marathon nt too run?
interesting? so what do you do in a marathon?

wow, i m surprised the professional kenyans then do not knw of such a fact
looking at back at various major events, they can be seen consuming water hmm.gif

so then again, oni the pros are nt too drink water, but its okies for us rite?
since we dun mind slacking..
Yea, we will wait for her to revert...
I too am interested to see the source for such "great" advice..
but the again, she claims it is "common sense" so ...
*
you missed a point there. Some people participate marathon not to run. To walk or whatver they want. And my run is running non-stop. You can check k, which athelete drinks water in a 5km run smile.gif

Lol ok it seems that you got your words mixed up euphoria.

Marathons are 42km runs.

5-7km runs are not called marathons.

owh ok sorry mistaken. What do you call it anyway?

No offense, but go click and see what is in the spoiler
You said .. [marathon if running all the way it is advised nt to drink at all]
so either you do not knw the definition of a marathon or....

Aaah.. and i thought ppl participate to try running/ completing the entire distance before succumbing to walking to complete the distance..
*
None taken. Cuz to me 5km is called a marathon cuz imma girl kay... hehe.
Nope. Been into runs, 5km-10km, alot ppl join to talk/laugh/joke. xtau buat ape. OMG.

For seasoned runners, yes we don't need to drink at times for 8 - 10KM. It all depends on your body.
Its simple. If you're hungry, you'll eat right?
*
Yeap.

QUOTE(d3vilzzzz @ Oct 27 2009, 09:38 AM)
they are called typical runs biggrin.gif
yea, they talk, laugh, joke... socialize but who doesn't want to go there to complete the distance be it running or walking? tongue.gif
*
owh ok, sorry for the misunderstanding cuz I tot you're talking about 5km pulak den say muz drink water I was like, hahh?
haha yea they complete the distance but to me its more onto building up your patience, stamina etc. So its more relevant to run and try to do it non stop the whole way then to chit chatty.

QUOTE(Syd G @ Oct 27 2009, 09:39 AM)
Sry but I felt that's disgracing your own gender. Dont blame it for your own ignorance.

On a lighter note, it's good that you're into long-distance running. Keep it up.
*
woiii. It is not a nais thing to say k. People around me uses the word 'marathon' for 5KM and above, and I was lead into this thinking w/o checking out the real meaning. Yes, thats my fault.
No I am not into long-distance running. I dun like it. I am in it cause I am forced to cuz I'm good at it. doh.gif
And yes, I kenot say no.

Marathon is an overused word. I pointed that out before. I almost burst into laughter but yet sad at the same time reading the past few posts.

Ultra marathon: Any distance more than 42.195KM
Marathon: 42.195KM
Half marathon: 21.1KM
Quarter marathon: 10KM


Please get this facts right before issueing a statement here. One wrong statement may costs a person's life here.

i'm training for my upcoming 1/2 mara. due to my laziness i've just started training.
i'm wondering if power gels are really necessary? cos its quite expensive la. sad.gif
any good substitute for power gels that are cheaper or just as good?

suggestions needed.
*
to me those power bars/power gels are used to build up confidence. It does help a lil, yes, but no obvious difference.

nothing to be shy or worried abt even if you run 3/5km and hv the need to drink...
GREAT  icon_rolleyes.gif so nw you can go educate the ppl around you..
Phoenix has kindly pointed this fact out a million times..
Hence all it takes I would say to save a life is the "search" button here OR take the effort to read the previous thread versions and pages smile.gif

Asking a person not to drink while running a marathon distance, that's suicide. Imagine if a forumer is new to running here and take your advice for it, imagine what will happen.

wokay. really sorry for the misunderstanding smile.gif
Now I learn a new definition haha.

i m nt a swimmer, but even if u told me swimmers took power gels i wud be doubtful..
we are nw talking abt runners??!!
please do not use yourself as reference, where is some sort of reference?
every individual is different..
AND IF like u said power gels make little difference why does the WORLD use it?
*
don't doubt it when you dunno. We take power gels for recovery actually. But to improve on performance power gel can't help much.
I used power gel once for short distance 6km run, turns out wasn't really that effective. that's why I said that.
And do chill. Yes it differs individually.
haha. You'll never know smile.gif to understand power gel and power bar's usage, do use it often and be observant.
