Another Suunto product provided time, altitude and analarm. The $329 Vector HR watch has in total an altimeter, barometer,electronic compass, time, alarm, and a heart rate monitor. Its functions allperformed with aplomb in Patagonia -- exceptfor the alarm. The small beep emitted when the alarm clicks on to ostensiblywake a team of Tissot replica watches racers is too quiet. Like many watches in this category, alouder beep would be welcome. Running tights -- not pants -- were my leg-wear ofchoice. Salomons WS II Tights were most impressive.
So heres the question: If youre nursing a sore muscle, do you pamper it and rest until the marathon? Or do you keep running on it, and if so do you do your last hard workouts? For a competitive runner, with moderate soreness, the answer is: hit the hard workouts on a bike or in the pool, and be very attentive to your sore spot. But dont just sit replica iluxury watches around until the race. Heres coach Terrence Mahons note to me about last minute injury care, training, and keeping a good mental attitude in the last week.If you have access to a chiropractor or massage therapist that does ART(active release technique) that will help a lot. Ice the sore area 12xper day to work away at any edema and muscle microtears. In regard to training... You cant just abandon the miles and wait forthings to get better.
Circulation will help the healing process a lot.I suggest getting in all of your hard workouts over the next 7 days onthe elliptical or bike (see what doesnt bother the calf). You cantransfer the intervals to minutes of hard work on those machines andmonitor your heart rate if needed to make sure you are getting in agood workout. You can then run for the easy runs to keep you in theroutine. If it starts to tighten up on the run then try to replica Longines watches stretch itout. If it persists then go to the cross training. I am a big fan of attacking injuries. Be proactive with your therapy,nutrition and any medicine that you need to reduce the swelling andpain. Be positive mentally and you will have get yourself most of the way to the starting line. Relax and take some deep breaths. Terrence Mahon
