The reason being is i'm newly training for a half-marathon. I have done a few 5k's and a 10k and those were 'leisurely' to me (i did little to no pre-training), this new task however i am going at like someone who actually cares about her body and doesn't want to do any damage.
*Any tips, tricks or advice?
*Has anyone tried compression socks?
Answer
I swear by my Garmin 305. You can get one on Amazon for about $125. It will give you average and high heartbeat and pace, distance in English and metric, time and even a virtual partner for a run where you can pre-set a distance or pace or time and you can see if you are ahead or behind reaching your goal. You can even program an interval workout.
Haven't tried compression socks though I hear good things and have seen elite athletes use them in races.
The advice I would give is build up your weekly mileage no more than 10% a week (so as not to damage your body) and build up your long run until you are running the same amount of time you expect to run in your half marathon. Run 4-6 times a week, less than 4 and you won't progress, more than 6 and you risk damaging your body (overtraining).
Good luck!

Is this watch any good for running? I was recommended it from a friend, but I was wondering if anyone knows if it is good and would be recommended for an avid runner, thats what its meant to be.
Answer
Yes it is. It has a timer with split timing so you can keep track of your time like in intervals.
