I pace my runs with Garmin to prevent myself from starting too quickly, but after that, I simply look at it for motivational purposes. :-) Nice week of training!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265175590096078175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3415039431326089985.post-76841850061369069132017-05-23T04:35:49.895-07:002017-05-23T04:35:49.895-07:00I am probably too watch-reliant in races, but I ra...I am probably too watch-reliant in races, but I rarely run with one when not racing. Recently I've tried running with a watch, but not checking it, just to get an idea of pace vs perceived pace. I found that my pacing accuracy depends to a point on my shoes! I am pretty good at estimating pace in my Kinvaras, but in my newer Nikes I always run faster than I think I am.

I used to think you were crazy for racing with your watch "blank"...used to. Unfortunately my cranium has calloused and gotten extra thick, so I'm slower at learning these things than most folk...but getting there. ~Daniel-sanScotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397535137083527889noreply@blogger.com
