I recently started jogging about 1.5 months ago. I made some good progress but because I kept progressing it gets harder to track the laps that I run. Usually if I forgot to count, I look at the time and deduce how many laps because I ran at around 3 min per lap. Now that I am faster, I ran at an avg of 2:20 per lap plus I fluctuate a lot I sometimes ran at less than 2 min as I recover and around 2:35 when I get tired. Keeping track of laps run gets harder then. Why dont I just count? It gets harder to keep track as you get more tired, I guess your brain gets less oxygen as your muscle take in more. Plus I have to use more concentration to convince myself not to give up easily which takes in some processing. Third, I am one of those forgetful types so it does take effort to remember and keep track on things.
My Ipod nano has a timer and a lap button that I can press (which is kind of a counter) but it is really a hassle since you have to carry that thing while you run as opposed to a device that is attached to your wrist. As of now, I carry a cheap digital watch that has timer and just try my best to keep track of laps, but I kind of want an alternative. Oh I am not interested on pedometer thing on the watch since I know that the oval is around 400m.

Timex Ironman is a relatively cheap sports watch with lap times, so you can get each lap time.

i have to run a 5k on a track tomorrow, ive ran a 5k on a normal cross country course in like 21:00. does anyone have any techniques on how to pace yourself on a track 5k and also how to keep track of your laps haha
Answer
Runners on the track their pacing either through either practicing running at pace or times being called out to them or looking at their watch. To run a 21:00 5k you would be running at about a 1:41 pace per lap. There should also be a lap counter on the side of the track to let you know how many laps are left. If there isn't, a 5k is 12 and a half laps or you can try and ask how many more as you go through the finish line each lap.
