Racing to Save Lives

I'm training to participate in an endurance event as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I am completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!

Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission.

Cyling in Providence

solitude_peace — Sun, 04 May 2008 15:35:51 -0500

Wow! Thank you for such a neat tool. I hope others can find this and start to map our area out as much as possible.

I really haven't found a BAD place to ride around Providence, RI, just a few roads that could use some work. Even those chopped up roads can be avoided with a little thought before riding.

I'll keep my eye out for others from the NE posting routes here. Stay safe!

compression tights

Michaela22 — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 15:47:21 -0500

Hi guys,

I recently saw both running tights and cycling shorts that claim to result in less fatigued muscles during/after workouts.

Is this just a gimmick or does anyone have positive experience with such?

Thanks for your help!

Michaela

Broken site

EJL — Fri, 02 May 2008 11:03:54 -0500

There is no one to help when the system fails.

I spent hours entering routes that only partially get posted. This is ridiculous and there is no "CONTACT" site.

Don't waste your time with MAP MY RIDE.

Mac OS & Garmin update?

CarolinaCrazy — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 09:17:48 -0500

MMF crew:

Any update on support for Mac uplaods from Garmin devices?

This thread last fall indicated that support for the Garmin Communicator Plugin was imminent.

I hate having to go to MotionBased to off-load my runs as GPX and then save them out and come back here. The new Garmin Connect site is coming soon...

thx

Silicon Valley Tour de Cure - Great June Ride!

moll1998 — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 09:47:35 -0500

Hey riders, I found this great ride in Palo Alto, Ca on June 8, 2008 http://www.siliconvalleytourdecure.com There is a low minimum ($150) and it is a great cause. The long route looks like it has close to 6,000ft of climbing and they have 4 easier routes for varying experience levels. Anyone else doing this ride?

More prominent cursor

eddieP158 — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 03:21:52 -0500

Is there any way to make the cursor more prominent (easy to see)?

When I'm measuring routes on maximum hybrid the grey pointer disappears into the grey background of the pavements (sidewalks).

Perhaps a solution might be to have an optional white circle which could be used as an alternative cursor.

Thanks.

quick start

PPPPablo4444 — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 18:52:18 -0500

I can't see the Quick Start Menu box to the left of the map...what's up ???

Ok, if you want a re-do, here's a solution

Ninji — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 18:44:49 -0500

Ok, everyone, especially dengleem:

I can't seem to get this to re-adjust the group challenge goals, so the only solution I can come up with is to create a mirror site, get us all to join up, and then re-challenge ourselves ONCE ALL 4 OF US ARE PRESENT IN THE GROUP. (not a shout, just emphasis, so that we don't jump the gun). So, go ahead and join this version of LGP: http://www.mapmyrun.com/community/groups/606156456

and, whosoever is the fourth contestant, sign us up for the Asics 100 again, taking care to enter the retroactive start date (though I'm not really sure if that is possible at this point) of 04/04/2008.

If it doesn't work, well . . just keep running until we each hit our 100mile personal goals, and we'll know that the team all made it!

(in the mean time, enjoy the "99% complete" marker of our group's goal. . .

-your faithful Ninji

How to Delete last segment of route

ChrisLacher — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 09:58:09 -0500

I soent an hour building a long route, and at the very end I must have clicked a place inadvertantly, which added an unwanted extension to the route. How can I modify and existing saved route by removing the last few miles?

How can i delete all future workouts (past and present) except the oens i completed?

treichson — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 15:07:28 -0500

I wanted to make one route recurring to force me to get out there and run... however ,i find i don't need that reminder as i prefer changing routes. However, the only way i can delete the future (past and present) workouts is if i go one by one, or delete the entire workout type, including the ones i actually did completle, which i also tracked my gear on.

So, i want to know is there anyway to only delete the incomplete and future instances of a reminder?

Thanks alot

Dear MayMyRun,

Running buddy required

Michelle_Walker — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 16:04:32 -0500

Hi All, I'm now returning back to running after a back injury (horse riding) I find that running is the (best way for me to keep my weight down... I've had a couple of short (and I mean short) runs over the past few weeks but ended up with shin splints. I've brought myself some new trainers and they seem to be fine. The thing is, i'm up to 5km at t'he gym but running on the treadmill does my head in, its so easy to get off... I prefer to be seeing the sights and getting some where when I run and if I've someone to chat too and encourage me at the same time I think i'd be much more successful.

Question is .. is there anybody inthe DE7 area that would be happy to meet up have a couple of runs, push each other - set joint goals.. I could do with someone else's encouragement.....

shin splints

LCAMBLIN — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 13:48:13 -0500

I have been running the last few weeks with what seems to be shin splints. I took 3 weeks off where I only ran once a week and only short 3 mile runs. I felt much better and then ran a half marathon and now I feel like I am right back where I started. does anyone have any solutions for shin splints or what to do to get over them? i am planning to run my first marathon in 4 weeks and I am getting bummed out that I am not able to train like I would want.

2008 London Marathon

DavidH3143 — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 16:37:02 -0500

One month to go to the London marathon - how did it get to this! After finally getting off my rear and lacing a training shoe in anger in June/July 2007 for the first time in ten years I am now ready, or as ready as i'm going to be, for the London marathon on April 13th. It's a long way from the first training jog - all of 1 km - when I got home and did a lot of speaking into the great white telephone, threw up violently if into the loo if you don't understand that!

2:09 tough half marathon two weeks ago has given me some confidence that I can finish inside 5 hours which I need to qualify for next year's comrades ultra marathon. I am running for Arthritis Care, a charity in the UK so if anyone would like to part with a few hard earned punds/dollars/yen etc feel free to do so, i'm still way off the fund-raising total I commited to raising LOL! This will be the most expensive run i've ever done if I don't pick it up a bit!

I've lost around 2 stone since starting training last year and am no longer completely knackered when I walk up the tube escalator or the stairs at home; still smoking the old fags but down to 2 or 3 a day - unless I have a beer or ten and then it's off the scale, another big reduction though from the 50 or 60 a week I was doing previously.

Anyway, if anyone feels they'd like to donate the link is www.justgiving.com/davidharrison1 and it's completely secure, or so they say.

Cheers, Dave

Lower back pain

mucker2b — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 07:18:47 -0600

I've been getting pains in my lower back recently after running. It does not bother me at all while I am running. Only afterwards it starts to annoy me when I bend down to put on the shoes or pick up the baby.

Would this be to do with the shoes or the distances I am running. I only did 21 miles last week but I noticed it at the start of the week and like I said when I ran the next day it didn't bother me.

It was a bit of a jump from the previous week's run (14 miles) but I felt able to do the extra miles.
