The Running/Keeping Fit Thread

[Carras_Shin_Pads]

I just use the app on my phone in a pouch but seriously thinking about getting a suunto or a garmin. Got caught in a proper downpour on Saturday and to be fair to the plastic piece of crap that was protecting the phone it did ok - but it's a hailstorm away from falling apart! A mate has the Ambit and it's a pretty awesome bit of kit - might have a look at that.

*******s aren't they

It's snowing here right now! Thankfully I'm not out running until tomorrow anyway.

Alex is the premium version of Endomondo worth it? I notice you have it. I've looked at the additional things you get with it and it doesn't seem all that much. I would like more detailed stats and to be able to compare runs etc. though. What's it like?

[Alex]

No, its not really worth it. I only brought it to check it out.

I'll probably keep it going forward because £2 a month is nothing.

The only thing that I liked was that it removed ads from the site and app on the iphone. Thats worth more to me than anything

[Pablo]

What's the compare run feature like and the extra statistics? I'm a geek for those things. Is there much additional with that? The details they give are sketchy.

[Alex]

Extra stats are nice. But too be honest at the moment Im not using it properly. Just sort of logging to keep myself motivated.

Ask me in a month or two when I do it more consistently and am trying to get my time down

Slinks? I'm calling you out. What have you been up to this weekend that's so important you couldn't fit in a quick 30 minute run? You're single right? You must have tons of free time. Get into the running, get into good shape and your confidence will soar. You know it's true mate. Get on it!

Just been for a run now, only 3 miles clocked. Haven't been able to go as the weather has been atrocious here these past few days.

Thanks for the motivational speech though mate!

Wow, that's a seriously good change. Your whole posture is different too. Well done.

[Roboklopp]

15 reps of deads at 120K is really good mate seen you've only been training 3-4 months. You looks loads better too- well done mate.

Jaymo, I spoke to my mate last week and he does a lot of conditioning and strength for the Wigan youth team. Doesn't really have them doing weights- all sorts if hopping, core work, plyometric stuff and balance.

Feeling better every time I go out. Absolutely smashed it down for the last 15 minutes of the run. I was drenched.
