Just bought some Montrail hardrock trail shoes, priced here at 145$ for $75 delivered from a US store...

Also, ebay: Brand New In Box Garmin 305, 200CDN delivered, plus, Garmin has a rebate on line and will get an additional $50!!

funny, both Pierre & Cache Mundy had the the exact same sentance...

I can only hope to reiterate that we are not saying that the line between running and the fictitious "jogging" we refer to is about speed but rather about an emotion and passion for running.

I've been running the bruce trail in NB 907s for the last year and a half and am looking to make a change...

Googled Hip Flexor, and yes that seems to be it.

Well, 2 weeks ago while playing indoor soccer, I pulled somthing in my hip area...it hurt whenever I climbed stairs or kicked a ball...I thought it was better...until 2 minutes ago when I ran up the stairs to get the phone...ouch! Im guessing a hip flexor, although i have no idea why. Time for a lit...

thanks 4 the responses...I am due for a new pair of shoes, I have had no problems with the current shoes, but will get fitted just to be safe!!

While looking to buy new shoes, I realized that the Asics Evolution shoes I have been in for 2 years are considered "Motion Control" I have no Idea if I need motion control shoes...

The Q;

Does running in a Motion control shoe have any negative affects if you dont need motion control?

The 220 minus age for me is way off... According to that my MHR is 185, but when sprinting up hills or full exertion my Garmin reads 201-206 as a max. I know the Garmin isn't perfect but It can't be that far off! Can your MHR be based on a series of sprints at max effort? It may not be as exact as a...

Do you have to buy from itunes only?? Or can you ..."import"...music from other upstanding non-stealing websites...such as Limewire??

I was under the assumption that Apple was trying to curtail sharing mp3s...

hi Tortise! Glad to have seen you!

just read your race report, sounds like you had a good day!
Not sure if you runners noticed but we were way understaffed!! We were expecting 100 volunteers, got 25!!

I think 30 or 35 total people passed out water to 8 or so thousand runners (both ways!)

yeah i question the elevation as well...but it is a very steep country road that is closed in the winter...either way its steep enough!!

thanks for the advice!

thanks you 2...

192 is a formula not a tested max hr. I was very comfortable during the run, and not close to puking

the total run was 8k and 55 minutes so 38minutes was the majority...

whats the best max hr test?

Hey folks, First off congrats to all who ran the Scotiabank on the weekend.

Well, I just missed out on my "goal" of 5k in under 30, but I did have a pb of 5.3k 30:31, 6:04 pace! Prior to today I was at 6:30 to 7:00 pace for an average 5k run. Plus, I am down from 270lbs a little more than a year ago to under 235lb (234.75 :roll: ) ....If I hadn't stopped to tie my damn shoe...

I download new music constantly but thanks for the tip!!

Heres my situation.... I run 3 days a week, 5k each run. anywhere between 30-34 minutes depending on which route..some have hills some are flat. I am not training for a specific goal, nor am I planning to race...today at the 3k mark I gave up on a run and realized I was bored... Upon looking at moti...
