Run Run Away

Question:

which of the following might be helpful… mp3 player?

For you maybe, I prefer no music. cool watch with gps and HR monitor?

If you want to part with upwards of $200. padded socks, or maybe coolmax socks?

I prefer the coolmax socks. I like the Ironman socks and the DeFeet socks. coolmax shorts and/or t-shirt?

Synthetic shorts are a must. I am fine in a cotton t shirt most of the time. When it gets really hot I’ll wear a singlet either cotton or synthetic. if I’m only running like 30 minutes at a time, I probably don’t need any powerbars or gel, do I?

No. do you guys run in a jock, or just briefs?

Briefs that are in the shorts. I’ve already got oakleys, so I’m covered there.  I’m so pumped to get out and start jogging.

Whatcha waitin fer? Andy

Hi I recommend an MP3 player. I recently bought the Rio Cali – great little device that keeps you entertained while you run.

Don’t buy anything new for yourself until you can catch Pier-14’s six year old son (posted elsewhere). If you’re only running 30" at a time you almost don’t have to change clothes. It was smart to buy the Oakleys first though. You’ll want to hide your face when some grandma goes buy you on a 15K training run as you’re greasing your crotch at the 2K mark in your big run.

Response:

as you’re greasing your crotch

I bet you grease up that area frequently too…

All you need is a good pair of shoes. Now stop procrastinating and just get out there! Bjorn

Who let the dickhead in?

if I’m only running like 30 minutes at a time,

You can get by with almost anything if you’re running for 30 min. I ran my short distances (30 min) in cutoffs or sweats and t-shirt or sweatshirt for about 20+ yrs. If you’re going to run longer, then you can get some synthetic gear. The longer you run or the more you carry with you, the more attention you need to pay to using synthetics (cotton is bad for longer runs) and weight. I’m still using Wal-mart polyester shorts since they’re the only ones that work reasonably well for me. (I’ve looked for something different but can’t find what I’m looking for.) Unless you’re going to run barefoot, the only thing really needed for running is an appropriate pair of shoes and enough clothes to keep from getting arrested, unless of course, you’re doing a bare buns race. But you can make running as techie as you want. Dot

It looks as if we’ve lost one….to the boring side.

Response:

Though I know others will disagree, MP3 player definitely. It really helped me get going in the beginning.

You’d BETTER be REAL good looking if you’re this dumb.

Response:

Running shorts are lined.

Donovans have a pad there for days when he’s on his period.

Response:

Where would you be without rec.running? I don’t know where you live, but if it’s hot and humid there, you should definitely buy coolmax (or something like it) shorts and shirts/singlets. Do NOT wear cotton, unless you like being drenched in cold sweat. A powerbar can never hurt, but you certainly don’t need it. You’re going to have to figure out the jock strap question on your own. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – which of the following might be helpful… mp3 player? cool watch with gps and HR monitor? padded socks, or maybe coolmax socks? coolmax shorts and/or t-shirt? if I’m only running like 30 minutes at a time, I probably don’t need any powerbars or gel, do I? do you guys run in a jock, or just briefs?

Maybe, if you like music. I’d recommend a solid state model. e.g. Nike PSA, Rio Cali. cool watch with gps and HR monitor?

Not unless you know why you need it. padded socks, or maybe coolmax socks?

Yes. coolmax shorts and/or t-shirt?

Yes. Get them from a running place. You only need one of each to start with — you can hand-wash and they dry overnight. if I’m only running like 30 minutes at a time, I probably don’t need any powerbars or gel, do I?

No. do you guys run in a jock, or just briefs?

Running shorts are lined. You don’t need underwear. Wind briefs are useful in the winter, but no need to worry about that yet. Cheers, — Donovan Rebbechi http://pegasus.rutgers.edu/~elflord/

Though I know others will disagree, MP3 player definitely. It really helped me get going in the beginning. The cool watch (accelerometer, not GPS) with HRM sure does help out too, but I would put it second on the list. The socks…I always bought really thick Thor-lo’s until I discovered the thinner ones. Much better… I have Coolmax shirts, but T-Shirts will work just as well for 30 minutes. Ixnay on the bars and gels for now. Just my 2 cents.
