QUOTE(strinq @ Oct 22 2009, 06:09 AM) Hi bro, the nike+ sportband is also a great cheap alternative. well I can get it for u cheaper 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. Watch: ![]() Sensor: ![]() |

One Question, anyone here ever collapsed before in a run? Be it in a casual/training/competition run? Curious to know. |

QUOTE(strinq @ Oct 27 2009, 07:19 AM) Eh was wondering, runners should have a pretty low resting heart rate right? 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.Just calculated mine, it's about 63 bpm. - just saw in a running forum that a lot have about 50. - ok acquired target 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... |

QUOTE(strinq @ Oct 27 2009, 01:31 AM) from what i read you're not suppose to drink in a 5km or 10km race. nope. Marathon if you're running all the way it is advised not to drink at all. Only drink b4 races.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. |

QUOTE(d3vilzzzz @ Oct 27 2009, 08:09 AM) so its advised that when u run a marathon u dun drink water at all? 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 so why the many water stations in a full or half marathon event? what can i say? great advice?

QUOTE(strinq @ Oct 27 2009, 08:46 AM) Erm, may I know where you got your source from euphoria? I'm a marathon runner and i know 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. 42km of cuz need to drink water or else dehydrate. QUOTE(d3vilzzzz @ Oct 27 2009, 08:56 AM) 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 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 ... |

QUOTE(strinq @ Oct 27 2009, 09:29 AM) Lol ok it seems that you got your words mixed up euphoria. owh ok sorry mistaken. What do you call it anyway?Marathons are 42km runs. 5-7km runs are not called marathons. QUOTE(d3vilzzzz @ Oct 27 2009, 09:30 AM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 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.. Nope. Been into runs, 5km-10km, alot ppl join to talk/laugh/joke. xtau buat ape. OMG. |

QUOTE(metalfreak @ Oct 27 2009, 09:34 AM) For seasoned runners, yes we don't need to drink at times for 8 - 10KM. It all depends on your body. Yeap. Its simple. If you're hungry, you'll eat right? QUOTE(d3vilzzzz @ Oct 27 2009, 09:38 AM) they are called typical runs owh ok, sorry for the misunderstanding cuz I tot you're talking about 5km pulak den say muz drink water I was like, hahh?yea, they talk, laugh, joke... socialize but who doesn't want to go there to complete the distance be it running or walking? 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. 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.On a lighter note, it's good that you're into long-distance running. Keep it up. 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. And yes, I kenot say no. |

QUOTE(bubb13s @ Oct 27 2009, 09:50 AM) i'm training for my upcoming 1/2 mara. due to my laziness i've just started training. to me those power bars/power gels are used to build up confidence. It does help a lil, yes, but no obvious difference.i'm wondering if power gels are really necessary? cos its quite expensive la. any good substitute for power gels that are cheaper or just as good? suggestions needed. |

QUOTE(d3vilzzzz @ Oct 27 2009, 09:56 AM) sigh. BECAUSE I'VE TRIED IT. I am a swimmer also btw for 10 years competing in state and nationals. What do you think? QUOTE(phoenix @ Oct 27 2009, 10:03 AM) 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 Now I learn a new definition haha. |

QUOTE(d3vilzzzz @ Oct 27 2009, 10:18 AM) i m nt a swimmer, but even if u told me swimmers took power gels i wud be doubtful.. 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.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? 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 |
