I don't know if you can see it in MapMyRun in real time, but you can look at your run after you finish and see the elevation chart.

Strava will do the same but you have to go to the website

sweet color scheme. I'm still loving my PureCadences. Hope to get five miles in tonight.

3.2 at 7:07 pace. Four 100 meter sprints and four stadiums. Little cold tonight but still felt good

 

[slh1089]

6 miles at a 7:32 pace. Felt good.

so I failed at getting a run in after work, but I'm convinced it was worth it. Coach K brought Duke down for a practice here and to get a glimpse of a soldier lifestyle haha. I had to work all through lunch to begin with, so when I finally got my lunch at 1:30, I decided to go the practice. Had lots to do by the time I got back so I didn't get out until after 6:30. But I talked to most the players, K himself, Chris Collins and Wojo. I love running, but I can sacrifice one run for that opportunity right?

I would say that's a good excuse not to run.

5.25 miles in today

I think thats a great reason to sacrifice a run. Pretty cool you got to talk to Coach K himself.

Anyone use compression socks while running? I was thinking about picking a pair of CEPs up.

My wife does and she loves them

I use them in recovery & they work well

5 miles in right at a 7:50 pace. Felt a little off. Hoping I feel better by this weekend.

 

[YankeeVol]

bought some CEP compression sleeves. I'll try them this weekend at the Army 10-miler.

Also got "fitted" at Fleet Feet for running shoes. Ended up buying a pair they suggested. We'll see if they end up feeling better.

Nike Zoom Structure 16+ is the shoe they suggested

 

[volfanbill]

I've never felt the need for the compression socks. Even in my halves I've run, my legs and feet hold up just fine. What are their advantages?
