Re: Garmin Vivoactive HR (thoughts?)

Running Room also have them in stock for same price, online ... I am sure that there is a 10% coupon online somewhere or someone that you know who works / instructs at Run Club ? Ha !!! :shifty: Well, if you do not currently subscribe to their online email stuff, I believe they do offer a 10% first ...

Re: Garmin Vivoactive HR (thoughts?)

Someone on the government of alberta classifieds is selling the vivosmart HR for 135. I read the reviews and it looks like a better tracker than my jawbone UP which I'm annoyed by. The only thing I read that I didn't like was that it didn't have workouts for bike or swim (so no lap counting or bike...

I'd wait for Black Friday ?? Amazon.ca offers free s&h and usually very good with return policy if you decide to buy it now and wait till options on Black Friday ?? The only thing I'd be worried about ordering from Amazon is where it's shipped from. I don't want to be surprised by having to pay...

Re: Commander's Challenge 2016

Congratulations Ken ... it appears that we may have ran, err: walked the same race? Ha!! Sure was kinda stinking hot and humid at 20c / 35c hunidex, eh!!

The hour between the end of 5k and start of the half just allowed the legs to stiffen up, eh!!

Re: Alternatives to Asics Kayano?

If you look around, you could/would likely be able to find a pair or two or three of remaining previous year's models, usually at around 50% or better on clearout prices ... I do not pay full retail anymore and usually will stock up at 50-75% discounted models ... Do not really care, as long as it i...

Re: Brownlee Power!

The eventual race winner was also the eventual series Champion, so it was a moot point anyways, whether he finished the race anyways, from my understanding ?? Ah, OK. So that makes sense why he's be celebrating so hard. If the SA guy had come second, he still would have won the series? The series w...

Re: Nausea and bloating

How much fluids are you taking in for a 28K+ lsd run ?? Your post run issues appear to be more like post run issues of dehydration, heat exhaustion, lack of calories, etc ? How much are you consuming within 30, 60, 120 minutes after the run ?? I had just started using Tums before my latest setback t...

Nike Hypercool vs UA Heat Gear

Anybody ever wear either the Nike Pro Combat Hypercool and/or Under Armour Heat Gear compression tights in the summer / heat? Yeah, it's kinda weird to be wearing tights in 30+C conditions, but, apparently it is supposed to keep you cool ??

Re: ORW Weather Forecast . . .

And, speaking on the topic of banditting and/or running under someone else's bib... apparently, at least 3 runners have since been DQ'd by the Race Organizers for running under someone else's bib .. apparently, a guy ran under a women's bib and came in high overall in the rankings ??

Re: ORW Weather Forecast . . .

My guess from knowing the course is that people made a mistake at the turn off unrelated to heat. That being said - I think we forget about the crowd we deal with on here who are pretty well prepared for races, understand the logistics etc. My DH had a former colleague who had wanted to run the ful...

Re: ORW Weather Forecast . . .

I am going to assume that most people who had shortened races at ORW were making smart health decisions (or were having those decisions made for them) regardless of their pace. I had 2 pacers DNF in the marathon and 1 in the half, and several others well off mark (as well as a lot of really really ...

Re: ORW Weather Forecast . . .

I was working just past the finish line and had 2 or 3 marathoners cross the line and ask me where the rest of their course was. The first guy crossed at 3 hours (10am), so not at all impacted by the later decision to shut off 10K. I was wondering whether some folks got confused with the merging an...

Re: ORW Weather Forecast . . .

From my understanding the RD had put up the Black Flag, which I assume is the signal to slow down and/or stop .. such the case some runners may have heeded that while others ignored it and continued on .. Perhaps, Mark could pipe in and/or another other of the marathoners who completed the entire co...

Re: ORW Weather Forecast . . .

Kudos for the Race Organizers in making a number of decisions to reduce the number of potential issues that may have resulted due to the expected heat and humidity during the ORW Race Weekend .. Moving back the 10K on Saturday by 30 minutes and moving up the start of the half marathon from 9:00am to...
