i've been runnign x-country for 3 years now, and just this winter i started indoor track. as a workout during x-country season i've been doing thresholds, to get a pace, and after all these years, i still can't keep a steady pace. i've tried using a watch and watching it, but still can't stick with a STEADY pace, my split times are usually all over. HELP!!!!
how do you "adjust" your pace while you're running?
Answer
Do you start at a pace that's too fast, then slow down? If so, try to not going out too hard, and with each repetition, push it a little more. You've probably already tried this, but looking at your watch every 200 or 400 and adjusting your pace according might be good. It depends on the distances your running, but it's not a big deal if you're times vary a few seconds, or even 5-10 seconds on distances over 800 meters. Just make sure that you put forth a lot of effort, and your workouts should be effective. Worry more about your level of exertion than your actual times

Looking to buy a running watch that monitors pace/distance/caloric burn. Any suggestions? Hopefully under $150?

The watch is for my mom, she is not very tech savvy so needs to be easy to use, no need for a HR monitor.
