    Suggestion Forums Sub-menus

    The old forums sub-menus were: Mark Forums Read | Search Forums | Watched Threads | What's New? Then a new sub-menu item was added - Watched Forums. However, it was added on at the end of the choices. Could we switch the two choices (What's New? and Watched Forums) around? I got used to...

    Closed Mobile Browsers

    While I was waiting for my plane in the airport, I tried to post a quick race report. I also tried to reply to a couple threads. I tried to use Opera Mini and also Pocket Internet Explorer. Opera was telling me I could only POST when I hit the reply button after typing in my text. IE would only...

    Penghu Marathon

    Finished in 2:52:37. Placed 4th overall. 3rd place was only 21 seconds ahead of me. The wind was a real killer though. I think my stomach and back will be the sorest parts tomorrow.

    2012 Cheng-Qing Lake 澄清湖 6k

    Completed 6.25km in 21:45 and I won! I got first place. Second place was about a minute behind me. Within the first 1k, I was able to pass the leaders going up the first big hill. I have been working on a new form for hills and I think it really helped in this race. I still need to work on the...

    Closed Mark Forums Read

    When I click on "Mark Forums Read", a confirmation box pops up asking me if I am sure. I find this kind of annoying. Could this be done away with or is there an option to turn it off on a per user basis?

    Solved Go To First Unread

    When I hover over a topic in the list of topics, it shows me how many pages there are. However, after I click on the title or one of the pages, then it gives me the option "Go To First Unread". I would like to see the option to "Go To First Unread" in the list of topics though if it is possible.

    Garmin Foot Pod

    I should be getting my Garmin Foot Pod in the mail today. I also have the 310XT. I run totally barefoot. Anyone have any advice about this device? Especially like the best way to attach it to the foot/ankle? I plan on using my tri ankle band that I use for my timing chip. If that doesn't work...

    Separate Gear and Footwear forums ??? (was: Forum Split)

    Could we possibly have the forum split to have just a gear forum and then a seperate footwear forum? I have no desire to read through the shoe and sock posts, but I do come here for things like GPS, HR, hydration packs, and whatever else might fall under gear. I see there are new posts under...

    New for this forum, not to barefoot running

    I have been running barefoot for about 6 years now. I was somewhat active on Runner's World before they had a barefoot category (which has turned mostly to minimalist topics now). I like to run long distances and do most of my running on the roads. I also bike to work everyday and try to get out...
