| Page Views: 414 | The Unofficial VT Running Club by bpacker - last update: Nov 20, 2007 |
Welcome to the unofficial VT running club! It was formed in 2007 by a motley group of running addicts (yellowcab, loisl, bpacker, sailor_p, jenaikes and imstress). Those fellows have elected me as the President so I will do the honours of posting the interesting stuff we've been yabbing aboout. To join the club, you need to be a runner(duh!) and would have at least joined one running event for the past 5 years. You will be included in our friendly forum and will be privvy to free running advice and notification of any vt running meets. We're all aiming to meet for one running event sometime next year. Votes for that running event are open.
Ideal Goodie Bag imstress - free vitamins and sun screen bpacker - 1)one free session of foot massage 2)power gels, power gels, power gels 3)sunscreen (spray kind) creams don't work for me 4)salonpas ( spray kind ) for muscle aches
Ideal Marathons Marathons for Alcoholics- http://www.marathondumedoc.com/ Marathons for those in love with Tibet - http://www.lhasamarathon.com/ Marathons for hill runners - http://www.hkmarathon.com/hkmarathon/eng/home/index.html
Difference between a Jogger and a Runner loisl - A jogger enters a race because of the free finisher T-shirt A runner enters a race to break his PR. A jogger buys shoes matching his singlet and pants A runner has several pairs of shoes and he gives a *** on matching. A jogger throws his shoes away because the color is no longer in fashion this season. A runner keeps those shoes he had worn for his fastest marathon and treats them like a sanctity. A jogger does all his daily routines, groceries, etc. before the race. A runner has his very own, always same routines, more some sort of ceremonies A jogger does always the same exercise, eg. his same 7km loop. A runner makes short fast paced runs, and long relaxed long jogs A jogger has no goal in race, except survive A runner has a clear target, he knows the km-time he needs therefore and tracks everything
Bpacker I consider myself a runner. Not because I run fast because I'm serious enough to 1) set my watch to time my effort even though it's nowhere near elite standards 2)calculate my distance even if it may not break 20k 3)set a goal and make sure I finish strong!
Sports Culture and the Media Sports Mags we love Runner's World - http://www.runnersworld.com/0,7118,,00.html Shape, US edition - Success stories here are more inspirational and the healthy recipe collection here is impressive. http://www.shape.com
Glossies that pass themselves off as Sports Mag Men's Health/Women's Health - too many unrelated health articles Shape, Singapore edition - Recently, there was an article on butt facials, believe it or not:( |
