you probably do, the best runner on our team has a 16:50 PR. If you went to my school you would be the best runner.

godofjoy, you live in Illinois, don't you? If so, then where? Supernova190 and I live in IL.

Last race of the year is this Saturday. It's our sectionals and we qualified as a team. I'm one of the alternates, so my race won't really count for anything. It'll still be fun though.

I used to be a pretty decent 200m runner, but since missing try-outs for the athletics team and taking up squash I have rather dropped out of running in favour of only playing squash. (I don't know how big squash is in America, I hear you prefer racketball, just to put it in prospective for you if you don't know, racketball is the "easy" game we use in the UK to introduce new players to the far faster-paced squash.) However since I stopped running my stamina hasn't been what it used to be, and when I'm 2-2 in a squash match and need to make that last push for a winning game it really shows.

 

So I've started jogging again, just a few miles after school every night just to get fitter. I've decided road-running at night really suits me, it's really refreshing after a night's homework and day at college. In an effort to keep myself more aware of cars I've started only wearing only one iPod speaker, but after a run it feels like my brain's just been blown out whatever ear doesn't have the speaker in it xD Anyone know any ways to stop this happening? :P And any tips on what to do before/after a run?

That link will get you to the classic Nike+ page, where you need to login, click community -> teams, and then search for "Tip.It Runners".

 

It has leaderboards and keeps track of all the runners in the same place.

i was actually considering buying a sensor towards the end of the summer, but i read a lot of bad reviews about the battery in it. for Christmas i can either get a fancy garmin or a nike+ chip/sensor.. i'm not sure which to get

 

i'll add the link to the group tomorrow morning

Haven't had a chance to properly calibrate my sensor, so I haven't used it for like 3 weeks now :( I miss it, it helps me run...

My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages.

:( If only I was allowed to use Nike gear!

 

Why can't you?

 

Sponsorship deals. I can't even wear my favourite underwear.

How would they know?

About the shoes, or about the underwear?

 

Shoes are pretty obvious. The staff punishes us for not wearing the correct branded gear, the exception being if you have a personal sponsorship (I don't) for certain articles of clothing that your managment and the club have agreed upon.

 

Underwear is pretty easy to get caught too. There are staff throughout the changerooms. If I was to put on a pair of bonds, I think they might notice. Obviously I can wear them in my free time, but not when exercising, training, etc.

 

We have to wear the official gear at all training sessions, games, appearances, etc. Anything in an official capacity or media appearance. That includes travelling to and from. The exception is black tie events and in that case we usually wear a tie or pin.

 

I'm not going to pretend I fully understand that section of the contract, but everyone else told me to just play it safe and wear exactly what you are told to.

What exactly do you run as / for? That sounds like some legit stuff :shock:

 

I play AFL. The clubs take stuff like this pretty seriously, because a single player breaking any rule is enough reason for a sponsor to leave. Could you imagine how unpopular I'd be if I cost my club a multi-million dollar sponsorship by wearing the wrong shoes :shock:

That's awesome! :thumbup:

 

I really only got drafted cause of my dad.. He was big back in the 70s and 80s and had all the right connections. If it wasn't for him I MIGHT have got rookie listed, but it's doubtful

Championship tomorrow, I might actually qualify for Sectionals then.

 

Going from Last , to qualifying for sectionals in a year is good :thumbup:
