I have been out running with my Motorola Motoactv recently and the new firmware update is proving to be awesome. Not only does the GPS watch now have an extended battery life but it also has a range of features that I was previously unaware of such as the ability for it to read out progress updates and other useful information at the touch of a button or the tap of a screen. 

One of my favourite things about  the Motorola GPS watch is the fact that it is so easy to use and operate. Out of all the watches that I have used the touch screen of the motoactv is the easiest to operate and it is even easy to navigate around the user interface using the touch screen when you are wearing glover or travelling at speed on a bike. 

The accuracy of the GPS is not the best and I have used other GPS watches that are much much more accurate but the Motorola is not far away from watches like the Nike or the Suunto pod watches. Some of them are better than others but the only downside to this particular watch is the fact that is can sometimes take a while to lock onto a signal just before you go running, cycling or training. 

There are lots of positives about the Motorola Motoactv though and I will be happy to share some of them over the comming weeks. 

Brain Supplements for Athletes and Runners
If you are getting painin your knees and ankles then running may only make things worsee. If you pay to go and see a physio for just one session then they will be able to analyse your probelm and give you a set of exercises to help work on any muscle imbalances that you may have. 

Some of the best brain supplements for runners is int he form of healthy fats and fish oils.

 One of the most common causes of running injuries such as knee problems is poor running shoes. Make sure that you buy a good pair of cushioned shoes and that they are suited for yor style of running. Fine a local running shop and they will be able to analyse your gait and recommend what shoes you need. Some peopl prefer to go down the natural running route and go for a pair of Vibrams or Newtons (like me!) but this approach doesnt suit everyone and if you are having injury problems at the moment then it is best to get those sorted out before you try and new kind of running style. 


Another great resource for runners who are interested in brain supplements and general nutrition is the runners word website.
