Garmin 910XT

If you like to know every detail about your training, especially your tri training, you gotta check out Garmin’s new 910XT.

The new 910XT is an all-in-one GPS enabled device that takes your training to a whole new level.

The 910XT is designed for open water and pool swimming. The 910XT is Gamin’s first multisport watch to offer swim distance, stroke identification, stroke count and pool lengths, and it also computes your *SWOLF Score to help gauge your swimming efficiency.

The 910XT makes it easy and seamless to transition between sports. The auto multisport feature lets you switch sport modes with just  one button press. An optional quick release mount allows you to move the 910XT easily from wrist to bike.

Advanced training
The 910XT is compatible with ANT+™ sensors, including the optional speed/cadence sensor for cycling or premium heart rate monitor (included with some models). The 910XT can be paired with an existing ANT+ heart rate monitor or purchase as an accessory. Track your weight, body fat, body water and six other measurements when using the 910XT with the Tanita BC-1000 body composition scale.

*SWOLF is derived from combining the terms “swimming” and “golf.” The SWOLF data field on the Forerunner 910XT adds together the time and the number of strokes it takes to swim a pool length . For instance, 30 seconds and 10 strokes to swim the length of a pool will equal a SWOLF score of 40. A lower score is better, just as in golf.

The Garmin 910XT is in-stock and waiting to help you analyze every stroke, pedal and step. Visit your nearest Fleet Feet Sports Cleveland.

This is the Year I Will…

With New Years almost here, now is the perfect time to revamp your training, motivation, and running goals! The December issue of Runner’s World features a great article, “This is the Year I Will…” and Fleet Feet Sports is here to help you achieve these goals. Here’s Runner’s World list & how we can help you make it happen.

This is the Year I Will…

1. Race Farther
How Fleet Feet can help you make it happen:
Join one of our training groups & get yourself motivated for the 2012 race season. Whether you are a beginner or seasoned runner, we have a program that will help you reach your race goals this year:

• NoBoundaries 5K: 1st group run is Tuesday, January 31st, at 6:30pm at Fleet Feet Northfield. Training is geared toward the 5K at the Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon on May 19th.
• 10K/Half Marathon: First group run is Wednesday, February 1st, at 6:30pm at Fleet Feet Northfield. Training is also geared toward the 10k/Half Marathon event at the Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon on May 19th.

Registration for both training programs opens December 26 at 8am.

2. Try Yoga
Compliment your running with some good stretches for total body & mind health. There are yoga classes designed for runners specifically, but all beginners should start with any class with the terms hatha, gentle, or level 1.

3. Lose 10 Pounds for Good

• Include protein in every meal
• Eat a meal within an hour after running
• Don’t skip meals
• Stay hydrated, before, during, and after running
• Eat food, don’t drink it
• Run from fast food
• Eat only when you’re hungry. Eat smaller portions at meals.

4.  Be More Consistent
Consistency in training, work outs, and sleep. Keep your body on a schedule and stick to it. Keep a running journal or log to record all your work outs. Also, don’t forget the importance of consistent sleep. It helps fuel not only our bodies, but also our minds, creating the best scenario for successful training & living.

5. Try a Triathlon
How Fleet Feet can help you make it happen:
Stop in and speak to one of our triathlon gurus while you get fit for the proper gear.  Our Northfield store has triathlon apparel and we also rent wet suits. Closer to Pepper Pike? Give us a call and we’ll bring everything you need and need to know to our Pepper Pike location for you.

6. Win a Medal
Some secrets to increasing your medal wearing chances: choose a race that puts you in a 5-year age division, rather than 10-year; compete on weekends with multiple races in your area; and pick the events that aren’t well publicized. Combine these “cherry-picking” tactics with consistent training and hard work and you should be well on your way to your medal-wearing days!

7. Try Trail-Running
How Fleet Feet can help you make it happen:
Fleet Feet Northfield offers a trail run every Sunday along the tow-path. Check our Facebook page weekly for the group run to be posted. Sunday Morning the location will be posted and the group will go for a fun trail run. Add it to your weekly runs this year.

8. Stop Giving Up
This year make it a point to not give up on yourself. Skipping work outs? Set your work out clothes the night before as a friendly reminder to hit the gym in the morning. Visualize yourself achieving your goals and hitting that goal pace mile after mile. Mentally seeing yourself do something makes it easier to actually achieve it. All about power of the mind.

9. Figure Out My Watch
How Fleet Feet can help you make it happen:
Bring in your Garmin, Timex, or Nike GPS Sport Watch and one of our team members can answer any questions you may have. Want a new GPS watch to keep you motivated this year? We carry those 3 brands and would love to help you pick out the perfect running mate!

10. Give Back to the Sport
How Fleet Feet can help you make it happen:
Volunteer at a race! Hand out water! Let us help you find a place to volunteer! Give back to the sport that has given you so much!

11. Find More Partners
How Fleet Feet can help you make it happen:
Join one of our weekly group runs! Group runs are held Monday at 6:30pm from the Pepper Pike store, and Wednesdays at 6:30pm at the Northfield store. Join us for a fun and easy 5 miles–all abilities are welcome!

12. Beat My PR
Make a gradual buildup for only one or two race distances. Avoid making your workout routine over the map. Then pick two races in spring and two races in fall to increase your chances of achieving at least one PR. Work on developing leg strength with hill running, and core strength with core exercises. Speed work with intervals and improved fitness with recovery days are all important steps to beating your PR.
