Nike Timing Triax Speed 100 Regular Watch

The Nike Triax Speed 100 Regular watch is the distance timepiece and star of the Bill Bowerman series. If you have to ask who Bowerman is, it's time you did some homework. The National Distance Running Hall of Famer was the man responsible for Nike, as well as the University of Oregon's explosion as one of the best running schools in the country, which gave Eugene its distance running claim to fame. The Triax Speed collection is a tribute to Bowerman, as the “best running watches” Nike's ever made. This model is designed for true distance runners and athletes in training. A target time feature lets you compare your ideal and actual times. The Speed 100's 100-lap chronograph tracks your lap times, recalls your times, and gives you your best and average lap times. The five-segment interval timer lets you record through full interval workouts. The unique S-shape fits wrists ergonomically, and makes the Speed easy to read while kicking to the finish. The Speed is water resistant to 100m, so it'll take the toughest Eugene downpour in stride. The Regular features a smaller face size than the Super.

Training Tips

Low weight, high rep circuit training combines the best of both worlds: aerobic and anaerobic training. Keeping the rest time in between high repeats low excercises like bench press, leg presses, inclined sit-ups, and upright rows is the key to maximum benefits.

As a long distance runner, a gradual increase in distance each week will allow you to build a solid areobic base. Distance increase should be no more than 10% of the previous week's distance.

When buying a new pair of running shoes, bring your old ones with you. You will get a better fit if you know if you supinate or pronate.

Heart monitors are useful for knowing when you are in the right zone for your training efforts. If you understand what your maximum heart rate is, you can set up your monitor to beep at you when you exceed the high or low range of your heart rate for the type of workout you are doing.
