Why Do Men Like Breastfeeding

LOGBOOK: Towards the Treviso Marathon (first episode)

The calendar shows 77 days and 13 hours, and the preparations for the marathon continues to Treviso. This week I trained at the sound of racing between Guarda, Spreyton and now Vazzola (although I do not know if they qualify for training). The 11 km
abundant Watch Montebelluna I had to lower the staff about 10km to 47'35 "(from the start, because the first mile or the arrival, then no initial traffic, I made a satisfactory 46'40" about ), in a race where I was playing at home, given that the section road that runs along the canal route is my traditional training, and for this I was able to anticipate the other runners knowing the exact location of which passes under the strettoria rail! In any case a better race, a nice location and a great organization, with the only flaw that intersect with the arrival of the car ... But the organizers have already told me that next year will vary. Four days later I go to
Spresiano, where the goal was to recover from Sunday's race (physically) and the good result obtained (mentally). Was it the cold that stung, will have been the many people who was pressing from the back ... but unexpectedly I lowered my time again on the 10km, taking it below the 47 ', namely 46'58 ". At the restaurant I also know Heidi, experienced runner who sent me home with a nice haul of tips and advice!
The satisfaction of the race gives way to a bit of soreness the next day, when I woke up I start to feel some problems in the legs, particularly over the left kneecap, where the day before I had heard but underrated onomatopoeic a "crock."
Vazzola Doubts about race, about my physical condition and the situation of the path (Vazzola has traits in dirt and rain of recent days had made the muddy Terret), follow each other until last night when I organize with a friend and I decided to participate in the 12km, the idea of \u200b\u200bsetting aside 21 to avoid the risk of exaggerating, but the pains in the legs, the third kilometer, force me to deviate from the path to cutting 6km, with considerable bitterness that still comes over me . But I can say that made this race to break the legs e. .. take home a caciotta (small enjoy good food)! And speaking of food, I congratulate the organization that has prepared a huge relief ...!

Now you rest a couple of days to help relax the right leg, and then you start with a more comprehensive training plan to repeated long intervals, perhaps uphill. That is certainly ask for help from my friends runningforum.it!

The next race will be Jan. 30 at Fossalunga, in which I will try the half marathon at last: the legs have twenty days to prepare psychologically for the event.

... Meanwhile, the calendar already provides 77 days and 12 hours ... Time flies ...

Citing the group that sometimes accompanies me during my headphone outputs, "it's a long way to the top if you want ... Treviso Marathon".

good workout at all!

Earlobe Funny From Stretcher

PREVIEW: Nike + SportWatch GPS, powered by TomTom

This morning, before going to Spresiano to make the 10 km (which I will tell calmly in a post in the afternoon), I opened my Facebook and I found a link where Nike Running said to be in Los Angeles , to ' International Consumer Electronics Show 2011, but did not say what had gone to do ... Without giving too much weight, I've been preparing quietly, but before leaving I gave an updated e. .. a new post, this time a video (for those has facebook, please click here to view ). The video shows a girl running with ... this:
The first thing I said was BEAUTIFUL!
Then I watched the video and tried to understand all the features ...
This "clock" is the latest evolution of Nike + technology by 2006 runner approaches to many owners of Nike (I'm concerned). For the uninitiated, consists of a Nike + chip to be inserted under the insole that communicates with the Nike SportBand or Apple devices (iPod nano, iPod touch or iPhone), giving data on distance, speed, time, calories burned. Many are hesitant as to whether a chip on your shoe to be precise on the distance: here you say that the chip is first calibrated, then personally I can say that without having graduated, the last two races I have done wrong just slightly (instead of 11,120 and 11,050 today, 10,020 instead of 10,066).
But back to the news, Nike + SportWatch GPS. Unlike the SportBand has, as its name suggests, the GPS that permanently cancels the small defects in precision. It is also able to store the path can then see when connected to pc. The data will then be managed by NikeRunning site, which will store runs, progress, personal time ... all shared with the community through the website or other platforms like Facebook or Twitter.
This is also coupled to the cardiac wing created by Nike in cooperation with Polar. Although the heart rates will then be monitored through the clock and will be recorded by the equipment Nike +.
The release date has been set to unofficially April 1, and for the price you do not know anything yet ...
Nothing more to say, the experience of Nike and Polar TomTom and technologies have created a complete and modern system that can enter the Olympus of GPS for runners (at least on paper ...).

Good racing to all!

Almay Skin Stays Clean

TEST DRIVE: Saucony Progrid Guide

Today I will speak of my "stable", the Saucony Progrid Guide 2.
First, a look outside: the mesh is very breathable, but at the same time the idea of \u200b\u200bbeing very strong .. The heel is rigid and the upper that covers it is quite padded for a better grip. The sole has a classic bow of plastic heel and forefoot, but there is not much "gap" between the two (this morning I saw that Saucony, such as Nike and Brooks, in some models has the sole that touches the ground for the entire length of shoe, with no bridges that underline the heel). For the rest of the sole is fairly smooth and without major channels, except for a separate piece on the heel reminiscent of a solution also adopted by Adidas ... At the center of the heel is also a clear window that reveals the Progrid technology.

After this description of "aesthetics" indossiamola ... And here you notice is the strong point: extraordinarily fit. Then you know, everyone has his foot and his shoe, but this is really convenient!
heel, thanks to the padding described above, it is felt, the upper winds well to the sides, the tip is large enough to breathe foot without making it move in the orizzontale.Anche insoles (well studied) is supported by most of the arch. And the fact that it is a stable with a good support does not feel at all.
Once worn, tied the way I like it and we go for an outing, asphalt and gravel road. The first thing I feel is the weight, but now I think:
  1. last time I have been using Nike Skylon 11 (290grammi) or, at most, Nike Pegasus 26 (330grammi).
  2. this is a stable, normal weight is more.
In any case, its 350 grams are felt for the first 4-5 miles, but then you get used to and the problem does not arise.
cushioning the heel is valid and will take a very smooth rolling.

In essence, a very good training shoe for athletes with medium-strong, who know how to play it safe by choosing a brand like Saucony.

Now the market is the third evolution, Saucony Progrid Guide 3: there are differences in the inserts to the upper (little or nothing, basically), the sole under the arch and the insertion of the heel Mesh Hydrator and on the insoles, which would increase the breathability.



Prices are around € 150, but if are offered in the Guide 2 know that a shoe is very valid!

Hoping to be helpful, I wish you all a good race!
