For beginners, running room is great. My mother in law started running with them and likes the motivation of a group. I think she started off with the learn to run then the 5k program. They do the walk/run, ie run 1min walk 1min, then run 2min walk 1min, etc all the way to run 10min walk 1min...

Fascinating. Tell us more ...

How long a shoe lasts depends on a few things: -shoe model (I get about 500km out of kinvaras, but my A6(race flats) feel dead after only 150k) -how heavy you are/how you wear out shoes -what surfaces do you run on (I got 700km out of kinvaras during winter on the treadmill, which was pushing...

I use saucony shoes and like them alot (mirage/kinvara). Mirage is more padded than the kinvara, both are pretty light ~8oz, both are 4mm drop shoes. I see that the nike free 5.0 are 8mm drop, so just get something with similar drop or transition slowly to shoes with lower drop (your...

I always liked this one too http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y194/ronjeremy6/edwards-1.jpg

Signed up for the 10. We'll see how it goes.

MEC Burlington/Toronto races this weekend: Sat 5/10/15 http://events.mec.ca/node/13464 Sun 5/10/Half/Mary http://events.mec.ca/node/13464

Slow down (sounds simple and it is). Every one slows down in the heat. Take walking breaks if you need to and keep hydrated. Consider not scheduling hard/fast runs on hot days if possible and consider running during cooler parts of the day if your schedule allows. Breaking up longer runs...

Thanks Sunny. Will keep that race in mind. Bayfront park is a nice venue.

How about a kid with a father in jail? When I read some of the responses on here I wonder if the people posting even have kids or are they completely brain dead. IMO the father in the article did the best he could, beat the guy senseless and hand him over to authorities. Jail will be no...

I'm not sure what superpower you used to infer this was a left lane bandit case, but do tell...

Did the first race of this series... very nice. It runs along the recreation/waterfront trail starting at Princess Point in Hamilton. 5k is out and back, 10k you do the 5k course twice (course is pancake flat and fast). Well organized with draw prizes, bananas, water/sport drink and timing...

Came across another series of affordable races http://sunsetseries.ca/. Wednesday evenings in Hamilton, 5/10k for $15. Might try one of them this summer.

I use strava.com. You can search routes there too (they call them segments) and they keep a "leader board" for the segments. I like the way you can search the routes on strava, just pull up a map and zoom into the area to see routes people overlaid on the map. I also like strava to keep a...

Did the 5K with MEC Toronto at Tailor Creek Park today. This was the first time I've done a MEC Toronto Race. Very well organized as the MEC Burlington races I've done in the past. Love these races. The only issue would be that since the course was an out and back (2.5k out and 2.5k back)...

For those in the east end, MEC Toronto is having a race next weekend at Taylor Creek Park (http://events.mec.ca/node/15371). I Don't know the venue, nor have I done any races with the MEC Toronto crew, but if you are looking for inexpensive race this could be it. $15, $20 on race day...

I agree, except for the 'we trained people' part. Often you don't have a choice as a webside/service requires you to make up this god awful mixture of numbers/letters/caps/punctuation that is no more than 12 chars in length, and will reject any password containing a dictionary word in it.

People have different goals, 8 mins of hiit will do nothing to achieve mine. Keep an open mind...

MEC Burlington Race 2 is comming up this Saturday. 5k/10k/21.1k for $15, $20 on race day. The race is in confederation park in hamilton. I ran the half at that venue with them last fall. The course is FAST if it is not windy. You run mostly along the lake on the path which is pancake flat...

Try something like this in linux and see what do you get? You need root, so su -, or sudo hdparm. Run it a few times in a row to get consistent numbers. hdparm -tT /dev/sda I get something like this from my drive here: /dev/sda: Timing cached reads: 4626 MB in 2.00 seconds = 2314.41...
