Nike Timing Triax Speed 50 Super Watch

The Nike Triax Speed 50 Super watch is the middle-distance timepiece 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 middle to longer distance runners and athletes in training. A target time feature lets you compare your ideal and actual times. The Speed 50's 50-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 or run/walk training. The larger face size and 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 Super features a larger face size than the Regular.

Training Tips

Have two pairs of running shoes, especially if you live in a wet climate. Consider replacing your shoes no later than 500 miles into the life of the shoes.

Proper hydration for a run includes drinking 30 - 45 minutes before you start and about a cup every 10 - 15 minutes while running.

One of the best ways to win a running race is to win it in your mind first. Visualize yourself running and winning that important race. The more often you do this, you will start to "feel" the race. Your heart will get pumping and your body will feel the effort required to get the job done.

Be serious about getting and staying in shape. Create a written plan that outlines the steps you are taking and the expected result by a certain date. Review your plan frequently and adjust as necessary. Do what it takes to get what you want.
