it seems theres loads of runners or wanabes (me i just recorded my first run 1.92 miles i know its fuck all but i'm dead proud of that! i've had a couple of little runs round the block over the last few weeks but other than that the last time i ran any where was to get some fags from the shop before it closed! ps i feel great compared to 2 weeks ago when i thought i was going to die |

I once heard that some runners tape Polos around their nipples - is this true? |

i used mine for a couple of months then got pissed off with not being able to forward through mixes.. ie, when listening to a continuous mix and i want to forward through it, you cant whilst doing a basic run (time and distance). |

You do it on grass on concrete? I wanted to take up skipping a while back but was worried about the impact of jumping on a hard surface repeatedly. it is meant to be better for your legs than running, dont know why, you dont use your heels as much so that could have something to do with it. Ive been skipping (no homo) for the past couple of years pretty regularly, cant stand running but skipping holds my interest. like others have said too learning the fancy stuff gives it something extra. speed ropes are about a fiver from jjb. golds gym ones are good and dont get all twisted up on themselves. one love skipping crew. |

I would love it if people started skipping (like that) more often. |

I'm working with a similar chipset (nRF rang e)as is used in the nike+ part, this website shows the fun of making your own intercepting receiver so you can see who is using it etc.(not my website) whats inside. tinfoil stuff is here. |
