As always, I have probably bought every running gadget out there trying to find the perfect mix of headphones, clothes, shoes, GPS and software and still searching.
GPS Watch
As noted, my old Garmin 410 died last fall. The battery simply would not hold a charge. Garmin would install a new battery for $99, but I was ready to move on to new technology. So, at a friend's advice, I bought the Nike Plus running watch. I only ran with it a couple times before...I promptly misplaced it. Ooops. But that's ok, I really didn't like it that much anyway. I did like the clever built in USB charging port. (It is built into the watch so no more cords, and ANT sticks.) But the data read out was very simplistic...went only to Nike Plus, and was a hassle to get into SportTracks (which I found a work around.) And the day and a date kept resetting to January 1, 2010 every time the battery went to zero. Not overly impressed, but OK.
After I misplaced Nike, I bought the new TomTom Runner Watch. TomTom made the Nike watch and the interface is similar. But the hardware -- the watch itself is great. It is small. It connects to GPS signals in a flash. The buttons work. As a running watch goes, during the run, it is pretty close to perfect. But then the run ends, and the software comes into play. I will be charitable and simply say that the software is a work in progress. But right now it is only partially functional; that's right, it only works about 2/3 of the time. It is designed to upload data directly to Tom Tom running site. That running site is so rudimentary and basic that it is essentially useless, and makes Garmin Connect look like a work of art. And the data has errors (time and date). No lap data, no splits, BASIC graphs. You can't delete or edit workouts. And, whatever data it has, it still won't upload all the workouts. Ok, so forget that, I will just use SportTracks again (get the data in file format and import into Sporttracks, just like with old Garmy). Except the files won't sync to my computer. I can see them on the watch, but they won't synch to the web or my computer. And it won't write the files for all my workouts. And right now, when I plug it into my Windows machine (also been using a Mac) it is trying to update the watch firmware and gets caught in an error loop and won't do anything at all, so the watch it won't offload any data anywhere; it is nonfunctional. So that obviously is a nonstarter. The watch is going to be returned; it simply doesn't work. I have owned it for about three weeks (maybe 10-12 workouts) and the software has never worked correctly after a workout -- not once. But mark my words, when TomTom gets the software right, it will be a GREAT competitor in the space.
One thing the Nike and Tom Tom watches made me do is buy a new heart rate monitor strap. I bought the Polar Bluetooth H7, and it is awesome. Incredible. The data is smooth, consistent, much less spikey, and no wild fluctuations or crazy numbers. A revelation.
So reluctantly, hat in hand, I bought another 410 from Garmin. A refurb unit, with a new heart rate monitor for $159. I feel like I at least know how it works, its pluses and minuses. It isn't sexy or cutting edge or new or whatever...but it works. Should arrive in a couple days.
And then I found my Nike watch again. So, soon, I will have a Nike and a new old Garmin.
Headphones
At last report I was raving about the Jaybirds Blue Buds X Bluetooth headphones as the end of the game. Eh, not quite. They are really, really uncomfortable over a long period of time. And because they are a "bud" they stay in via a plug in the ear canal. I found that when I ran, the bud came out and fell out, messing up the sound and it felt like they were going to slide out. Plus the form of the plastic on the bud itself (presumably where Bluetooth receiver is located) hurt my ears. Just a really uncomfortable experience over 30 minutes.
So I started using Mrs. Wolve's Beats over the ear LeBron James headphones. Liked them...they were $149 and a good experience. But they aren't mine. So in buying those I stumbled on Monster Athletic ones, and they work great. I bought the Livestrong version on sale for $59 (normally $149), and really strong headphones -- sound great, stay in the ear, don't even know they are there. My current go to. I also bought the Sennheiser over the ear type (not so good sound) before the Monsters, and the Bose SportIE2's (haven't used them much yet -- been digging my Monster's.)
In actual workout news, I ran a super solid 8 miles on Saturday morning. At exactly my goal pace (well, not exactly -- I had wanted to go at 9:00, and ended up 9:01 -- eight seconds off, and not sure how that happened; I was spot on, but maybe ended up getting eight seconds cooldown added at the end or something). I actually negatively split the workout, and not sure how I did that -- I didn't feel any different. I felt fantastic, and felt like I could have run further and faster. But I held it in.
Of course it would be nice to have my data, but it is stuck on my TomTom, unable to free itself except to the TomTom website, which won't show splits or graphs or anything. That would really be aggravating if I was super intense Mr. Training Type right now, which I am not.

Garmin vs. Nike GPS App
Sunday's run produced another technology conundrum; my Garmin inexplicably died. I charged it the night before, and it was ready to go. Until it came run time, about 3 pm, and was dead. As in nothing, no power. I turned it on for a second, got a 0% battery reading and then it died. The I got a hammer and smashed it into a million pieces. Ok, I didn't do that, but, seriously, the power issue is a joke: it seemingly dies about once a month.
Not to be without technology, I figured I would try the Nike GPS app on my cell phone. And I was going to run a route I knew well, and knew where the Garmin GPS made mile marks. Of course the Nike app is on cell phone, which got tucked away in a pocket, so I couldn't stare at it midrun, but it did provide audio updates at the mile marks. "Mile 2 completed. Time is 18:00, average pace is 9:00 per mile." So at the Nike first mile mark, which was about 100 yards past the Garmin mile 1, it had me at 9:57 mile. WHAT? I am pretty consistent in my pacing and was running about 8:45 or so. And this was a downhill mile. So, to be really under (over?) pace was disturbing, particularly with an uphill mile coming. But I kept on my pace, figuring it was a tech glitch of some sort. The Nike miles were about in the same places as Garmin miles. And the pace picked up. After 5 miles, Nike had me averaging, 8:50/mile. If the first mile was off by about 1:20 or so (which is what I suspected), then the run was right at 8:30 miles. Overall, it had my route slightly shorter than Garmin, and a corresponding higher average pace.
I looked at the map on Nike running map, and lets just say, the GPS wasn't exactly on. Fewer data points meant much of the detail was lost, producing cut corners, seemingly random wandering into houses, course corrections and the like. Wasn't all wrong, but sure wasn't accurate. Even Gmap Pedometer has an option to limit your route to streets, which calculates the route 0.18 miles longer than Nike (and about 0.08 longer than Garmin). Maybe off the grid in the wilderness without a lot of turns, it works better, but for my route, I would have completely freaked out if I was trying to run to an accurate training pace. I guess my bottom line on Nike GPS app: a good general app, very easy to use. Tracking is Ok, and much better than nothing, provides a good general idea, but not one to take to the bank or to take too seriously. If I was stuck somewhere without my garmin (or if it inexplicably died), I would not hesitate to use the Nike App to give me an idea of my workout, but not an app to base results, pacing or training from.

Awake
After a general malaise regarding training, I looked at my schedule: 7 weeks to go. Time to awake, get out there and do it. Had a great run tonight and feel strong. Getting close to the home stretch.
By the way, on late night TV I happened onto the end of "Queen -- Live at Wembley Stadium" that was recorded in 1986. Wow -- what a performance. I will blog about it later, but what an incredible experience that must have been.

Last Summer run...
Labor Day has come and gone, and just like the seasons, a new school year, a new fall, a new season have come.
We were in Florida over the long weekend, and let me tell ya, it is hot down there. Nothing like what it has been in summers past, but still, 92 and humidity still feels awfully hot after the mild summer we have had here. In fact, it was very strange getting off the plane back in New York and feeling ... fall. The temperature in NY is now in the low 70s. So much cooler than Florida. And, if you watch the US Open night matches, the people in the stands are freezing. I ran once in Florida. That was the product of running on both the day I left to go to Florida and the day I got back (Labor Day), but neither day in Florida.
So Saturday, I ran 18 miles in Florida Saturday. I started at 7 a.m and finished about 9:45. Ended up finishing 18.24 in 2:32 for 8:14 average pace. Splits are below, and I ended up running the second half faster than the first. But heart rate was higher too. The sun was really bright and it was getting hot (83?) by the time I finished. I wouldn't want to start any later in the day. As I was coming home, feeling pretty good, this guy in triathlon gear was jogging the other way. He was serious, hard core, and absolutely flying. Waved and smiled at him, and he did the same. One thing about running near the beach in Florida -- people with boat trailers! I hope they realize that the boats are wider than the cars. Can get kindof scary seeing these boats come whizzing by...
One thing I did to prepare was to hide water along my route the night before my run. I had an out and back route, so I hid water at 5 different places along my route, and ended up with 10 water stops along the way. That helped tremendously, not only because of the hydration, but also because it broke my run up into small segments. I was constantly focusing on the next water stop ... where did I hide it again? Did someone see the water and, thinking it was trash, throw it away? (That happened to one of them.) It was a really positive run though, and glad I pushed through the heat to make it.
I formed a couple of conclusions, too. The Nike LunarTrainer experiment is over. They are kinda cool shoes, but for me, just not practical for long training. I have now run about 100 miles in them, and have decided they are nice for short distances, but not long ones. I wore them on this Florida long run, and finished with a massive blister on the side of my big toe, and a blister on the end of my second toe also. Today, when I ran at home in New York, I ran in my Gel Kayanos, and it felt so much better. Like meeting up with an old friend for lunch.
Second, I like using Gatorade Endurance for long runs. I have a bunch of Accelerade thanks to a sale at GNC, but I really like the Gatorade Endurance better. It is smoother, doesn't have any aftertaste or funky smell (I find Accelerade has this bad smell), and just goes down easily.
And anyone who hates Tim Tebow should read the profile of him in this month's GQ. If you don't like him after that, then I don't know who you would like. An admirable young man for sure.

Intervals
Following the FIRST program, I ran an interval speed workout tonight . One mile slow, then 4 x 800 splits at paces listed in the FIRST book. Then a mile or so cooldown. For those who are not versed in speed workout out terms (which I really am not either), that means running 800 meters 4 times at a certain pace. Also, there is a rest interval of about 2 minutes between each 800 meter sprint.
FIRST has me running my 800 meter interval in 3:12. I run most of my miles on a treadmill, which posed an interesting quandary: how to figure out the proper treadmill speed setting to run the interval. And the book lists about 5 different intervals I will eventually use, and I might change my goal pace, so I thought I would create a simple Excel spreadsheet to do it. To spare everyone the hour of my life it consumed, I didn't find an elegant Excel solution.* So, anyway, to cut to the chase, that translated into a 9.3 mph treadmill setting. That is fast for me. That was also going to mean lots of treadmill speed changing and to avoid having to think, I actually wrote out the workout on a little Post-it to stick to the treadmill while I ran. (The post it was eventually soaked with sweat and fell off.)
It was a good workout; not a crushing one, just solid and challenging. The 800 meters were a good interval distance for me. Enough to be challenging, but not so much that I thought I wouldn't make it. It sure made the workout fly by, too. I was always looking at the clock to see how much of the interval I had or how much time until the next one. I did 5 miles before I knew what happened. And I am not completely wiped out. As much as I had been dreading this workout, it actually felt great. Maybe this FIRST thing isn't going to grind me into the ground.
I also ran all of these paces at the treadmill listed pace. My footpod -- which is calibrated with my GPS watch -- always has me running faster (and thus farther), but that is another post for another time.
My Nike Lunar Trainers are set to arrive Friday. I can't wait. I'll probably take them for a quick spin Friday night and then maybe use them on the Saturday 15 miler. But tomorrow is a rest day. Ahhh...
* It is easily done on paper I know. The first step is to convert 3:12 per 800 meters into a per mile pace. Easy enough, even in Excel, but then try taking that per pace and calculating miles per hour -- all in excel, using the formulas rather than just setting it up to do the math. I figured out a way, but it was basically using excel as a calculator and not the best way.

Running Shoe Thoughts
I like buying new running shoes. I currently have about 4 pair, but really use two of them. I am a mild overpronator, not much though, and can wear neutral or stability shoes. Because of my size (6'2" ish and 187 or so), I generally get a stability shoe. Right now, my current favorite setup at home is a pair of Asics Gel Kayano 15, size 12.5. Size 12.5 is kind of a funny size. Most running stores stop carrying half sizes at size 12 so the choices are either a 12 or a 13. I have tried 12s and 13s and never got it quite right. So, I search out my 12.5 and have to leap if I see a pair I like in my size. I also try to buy locally to support running stores, and I love the feeling of buying a pair and taking them for a ride. Something about ordering shoes over the net is much less fulfilling.
At the gym right now, I keep a pair of Brooks Trance 7 to run with. They are great, awesome, wonderful and my first pair of Brooks. I love the way they fit and feel. My Asics have given me some toe discomfort over the last several months, including blisters on the tips of my toes and a couple black toenails. Of course, I have been running harder and faster in them, so it may not be the shoes. But the Brooks just seem to fit right. Alas, they are reaching the end of their days, and it is time for another shoe and another pair.
I tried Brooks because my last bestest favorite shoe was the Asics 2130 (in Orange/Black). They were great and awesome too (liked them better than the Kayano, even.) But at the end of their life I bought the successor to the 2130, the Asics 2140. Although the press generally had them as the same shoe, they fit me differently and feel different. The first several times I wore them I got enormous blisters on the inside of my heel and just didn't feel right. That was the end of them. If anyone wants a pair of slightly worn (30 miles?) 2140's size 12.5, let me know. I will probably send them off to Shoe 4 Africa (I save all my old shoes and send a box once a year or so.)
That led me to Brooks -- I got a good deal on the Trance 7, they looked cool, and felt good. And have turned out to be great. I can't wait to get the Trance 9, which just came out (but, alas, am having trouble finding it in 12.5).
One shoe I have been keeping an eye on and splurged on yesterday is the Nike Lunar Trainer. They are totally different, and like no other shoe out there. I tried them on at the running store, and they feel different. And they have a curved last so you look down and it seems like your shoes are not on straight. Nike has just discontinued them in favor of the Lunar Glider, and I tried that shoe on last weekend. It had a high arch support and felt a little odd. And I didn't like the way it looked. I'll give that some time. But I ordered a pair of the Lunar Trainers off the net at a steal of a price (and in 12.5 to boot), and should be here tomorrow. I can't wait to see what they feel like and give the olds Brooks a rest.

Nike Instant Karma commercial

More Nike Greatness
Ran twice on treadmill this weekend. Spring is around the corner. . . Tried running 2 quarter miles slow then one fast on treadmill. Makes the miles go quicker.
This is another one of my favorite ads ever. When it first came out, I had just moved to New York, and at a party discussed this ad with several advertising people. Everyone thought it was the perfect commercial. It inspires and empowers. And just makes Nike cool.
And I run in Asics stuff, btw. Love Nike image, gear and Nike store. But their running clothes just don't seem right. I have some shirts with horrendous seams in them. And they itch and irritate. And get dripping wet. And they are expensive. But they sure are cool.
