nzlegend 1 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 good grief! its the Nike pod Quote: Nike is to make running shoes that will be able to send data about the wearer's performance to an Apple iPod using a new wireless system called Nike+iPod. any takers? aparently if your cadence drops of the ipod will start to play a "power song" to amp you up!

indosnm 0 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I'm waiting for the Ipod heart rate monitor that I'll wear on my wrist and it will transmit to my wireless head phones. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Polar should get in on that eh Indo? I love my Polar heartrate monitor ...Ive had it for bout 10 years now but it seems to be on its last leg though Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Davo, I didnt find a connection to the trail mentioned earlier on my run today but did find the most beautiful view of Kobe/Osaka up in Northern Nishinomiya at the border of Ashiya. Was way up the mountain and one road I ran up to the top went straight for over 600 meters at at least a 30+ degree gradient. Another nice day for a 10K Lemme know if you wanna come out here or I head out to yours again. Link to post Share on other sites

Davo 1 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I'm keen to run on Sunday-but will have to get back to you about it on Saturday Creek Boy. So far a sedentary week for me which kind of sucks. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Orange, no. A heartrate monitor for 10 years Id never buy a NikePod. Hardly ever run with music either - just a personal choice. Thats why I try to get up in the mountains or run near the beach. Enjoy, ummm, listening to nature Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Davo and I had a long run on Sunday...not exactly sure how long but probably not much under 15K so Id say 13-15K... Was hungover and hurting for the first 5K or so. We went up into the mountains and ended up heading out towards Mt. Kaubto in Northern Nishinomiya. Nice trails and cool overcast weather, sweet for running! cheers Davo - next time, if the weather cooperates and we are feeling up for it, lets try the ridge run Link to post Share on other sites

That's an interesting one. I don't really like running with music too, I like to be able to hear my breathing and my feet hitting the trail.. Though on a treadmill in the gym I usually crank it up ( and go into a deep visualisation about something), I think it helps kill the boredom of not going anywhere! Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 yeah, in a gym I see how having music would help, noises and distractions everywhere... and all the hardbodied honeyz too :droolgraemlin: Where Davo and I were up in the mtns was just beautiful and quiet. Totallly get why peeps like to have music when working out and doing sports - I just love letting my thoughts go and hearing my surroundings - birds, trees, wind, or nothing.... Often have music on the bus/train and always on at home Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 1 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Yeah no music for me in the outdoors, though tunes when you're boarding alone is good at times. That was a sweet run Creek Boy. We should try it without our respective hangovers next time Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 yeah Davo, no hangover woulda been nice...gawd I was hurtin... Though felt great round 6pm once I recovered from the hangover/run. Had an easy 8K along the ocean last night - Beautiful weather recently Link to post Share on other sites

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 sorry if that sounded bad 2pints. Running/Triathlons are my first love for sports... Ill make sure to say it was "hellacious" from now Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 2 pints, I did an easy 5k this am!!! I becomes easier, When I started back from doing nothing for 8 years (running wise) 1km was hard! Following that program I posted above has mad running 5 k a breeze. Give it a try.. Link to post Share on other sites

snowboarding-sam 0 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Do a bit of jogging myself. But it in now way comes even close to the joy of boarding. Can't say I particularly enjoy it. Link to post Share on other sites

Nice trails and cool overcast weather, sweet for running! you guys are crazy! running on sweet mountain trails and not mountain biking it is like snowshoeing in fresh deep powder and not riding it. If I were there I would be like "why arent I bombing this on the MTB, why oh why? last Sunday 4.5 hours of most excellent trail riding was accomplished and the great thing about Japan is MTB'ers and hikers can share the trails and co-exist peacefully, never had any grief at all from hikers.

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 keep your eye out on a mtn bike for me would ya? Sure your mates often sell em or hear bout peeps sellin em SG. Ran over the weekend but really wanted to swim. 10K on both sat and sun. Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 1 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I ran that trail we've been looking at on Sunday CB. Didn't set out to do it but had it done 2 hours later. A bit stoopid considering I took no water, but I can blame Sports Depot for that. What is it about big sports shops? I go to buy a water bottle belt and, of course, they don't have one-pathetic really. SG on one level you're right, but I can run stuff that a MTB would have to be carried up/down, plus I know you don't dig on the running and I love it. I'd like a MTB too but running is a better/more convenient workout for me. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Sweet Davo, thats what I was thinking we could do this Sunday. It'll probably be pissing rain but trail runs in the mud is sweet. Maybe we should stop by the jinja after and pray with the monks How far you think it was? Was the ridge part of it nice? Good footing? I ran 10K on sat and sun. Pretty chilled really. Saturday was up the river like we did before, by the waterfall, and up to the jinja. Sunday was an ocean front view Link to post Share on other sites
