Long distance running saved my life...

[CHINESEGOLD]

longest run i've done since getting it is a 6 miler at 6:50ish mile pace. slowly getting rid of this achilles tendinosis that flared up again after my last half marathon.

Oh man that's crazy! I do 4.5 at 7:30 when I run and I'm exhausted after.

[wurm]

injured my fucking thigh again over winter break. i did that in the late summer too and i couldn't run for like 6-7 weeks. i'm pretty sure it's going to be exactly the same thing again. really annoying since i can't even bike either. hopefully in two weeks i'll be good again but it's killing me to wait

you're not that far off. i'd like to be able to keep that pace for a half marathon and get in the 1:20s, but i keep having this nagging injury pop up and fuck up my training for a month or two at a time, so i haven't been able to ramp up my mileage and keep it consistent for a while.

an hour of 30 second sprints, holy shit i would be chundering all over what ever surface i was running on haha.

been tryna run whilst roadtripping the states squeezed in runs in yosemite, grand canyon, san fran and the oregon coast. really enjoying running again, had forgot how great a way it is to see places.

I'm fairly new to running, but I've been enjoying it quite a lot lately. But i've been bothered where to leave my keys and iphone while running. both my shorts and leggings got pockets, but i hate running with things in those pockets.

what do you guys use to keep your stuff in? ive been looking into waistbags for running (wearing across chest), but cant seem to find a decent one.

[Rob060]

i just hold my keys. i can't stand having anything bouncing around in clothes or locked on to me, like a phone or belt.

iphone should be strapped to your arm so you can listen to the music on it

hey there, if anyone of you come to Lyon, France, do not hesitate to contact me.

Arm wallet. Keys, some money, ipod.

[jaac]

if i have my car i just stash stuff under the wheel hub but i guess thats risky. otherwise i put a key in my sock and roll it a cpl times.

[abracadabra]

none of you have those running shorts with the little key pocket in them?

[DJ_Flame]

no thanks to stuff jingling around my ass.

[Lemurian]

I'm putting my key into the string of my shorts right now. It's ok, but not the best.

I'll look into those arm straps. I'm always worries they will fall off idk why.

thanks for the suggestions guys.

I just hide my keys under a rock and run with my iphone in my hand

I have a few pairs of Gyakusou tights which have a handy zip pocket on the back which is perfect for keeping keys snug and thus stopping them from jingling. I also have various running jackets suitable for whatever weather Vancouver throws at me - each with pockets for carrying a phone and other items. I tend to run with my debit card (for post run stops) and drivers license (so they can ID my body when they find it in the woods).

drivers license (so they can ID my body when they find it in the woods).

fuck that's a good idea, when running at night I always think every dark corner houses a murderer

[digitalmountain]

First 8k run outside in a long time (too damn cold and too busy). Feels so good.

[jackg]

I am finally getting back into running. doing 3/4 sessions a week for the last 3 weeks, feels soo good. anyone else using endomondo? I want to make a superfuture running club online, anyone interested?

[jbanger]

^ starting up myself after a 10 year fitness hiatus, i'd be up for the sufu club, but I'm using the nike iphone ap though, not endomondo

[CHINESEGOLD]

Canadian weather is no somewhat hospitable for running, I'm going to start too. Been only going like once every two weeks.

[ordo]

I picked up running again in January after Fall time change hiatus. I previously was using a Garmin GPS watch to track but switched to Nike+ for various reasons. I wouldn't mind being in a Sufu running club with other Nike+ folk.

[Kasper]

good idea!!! i do prefer strava to nike+ to be honest, find the social component is much better done

[CHINESEGOLD]

Can we make a group with Nike+? I couldn't figure it out.

[jackg]

i would presume nike+ would have the ability to create teams/clubs? endomondo definitely does and it has a more "community interaction" kinda vibe to it. you can make routes to race on, clubs, teams, comment on runs and check break downs of each others runs.

Whats the appeal with nike+ (generally speaking)??

[phive-oh-won]

I'd be down for a sufu running club. I don't have any gps stuff though. Do any of these sights allow you to measure your route after the fact? Right now, I have an account on runningahead.com. They have a feature where you can measure your run from a map... kind of like mapmyrun.com.

[jackg]

endomondo you can do after the fact, and its a phone app so it runs of your phones gps.

[ordo]

Whats the appeal with nike+ (generally speaking)??

I only started using Nike+ because I am running along with others and they were using it so I got used to it. It isn't as good as the Garmin GPS in that it doesn't measure heart rate or altitude gain but it is serviceable and easy for people to get access to in that they can get the chip or band if necessary and it seems to work well with Apple products including the various iPods.

[Oscur]

even though you can't make a group in nike+, you can still add friends and what not

[Rob060]

can't stand running with a phone. only use a garmin, otherwise i'd join in. upping my training slowly as i have a half marathon in june. let up a little bit after my last half in november, trying to shake some tendinnosis.

Is endomondo free? If it is I think we should all get it and do a sufu running club.
