Do You Have Any Race Tactics?

Do you have a race tactics? I don’t think I have it and that’s why I’ve never won any of the amateur races I’ve run. I know it’s silly, but my training consists of an hour of moderate running through the park. How am I supposed to change this and make a running...

Tempo Pace vs HR range

My tempo pace according to Daniels is 9:47 (NO LAUGHING), which has been very doable, and until last night, did fall close to my 80% HR range. My question is, due to the lovely heat and humidity, should I worry more about trying to achieve the 9:47 pace, or just maintain my effort using my HRM?...

Altitude difference while running?

Answered by a doctor

How do you wear your Pace Band?

I always use a Pace Band for my longer races - anything over 15k. But the paper disintegrates so I've been using scotch tape to *laminate* it and then staple it to a terry wrist band. There must be a better way! Could you please share your experience/experiments with Pace Bands.

I don't use a heart rate monitor while running, is that bad?

Answered by a doctor

When I was talking to a fellow runner in the park, he told me that he used a heart rate monitor. Now I’m wondering whether that is supposed to be used or not. I don’t have any kind of health problems but sometimes when I get tired my heart starts beating very fast. Do I really need that...
