Thank you for all of your interest and participation in The Final Sprint’s Re-Launch Contests. Today begins the fourth and final phase of this month-long celebration (Don’t worry - we’ll be launching another exciting contest in January!).

This week and back by popular demand we will once again be teaming up with MotionLingo to give away . . . Adeo GPS Fitness Trainers! Two lucky winners will receive the Adeo (retail value $150); a personal training companion that gives you motivational audio updates on your pace, distance, calories burned and much more!

This contest is now closed. Stay tuned for the next giveaway contest and thanks for entering!

TO ENTER: All you have to do is comment on this post with what features of a training assistant device, like the Adeo, are most important to you (i.e. audio updates, GPS, etc.) and/or what you would put on your “wish list” in terms of ways to improve these types of devices.

This will enable you to have a real voice in the design and re-development of these types of products as we will be sending the final accumulation of your comments to all of the major training assistant manufacturers (i.e. - MotionLingo, Garmin, Timex, Polar, Suunto, etc).

Why YOU love running …

Thank you for entering last week’s contest. Your responses were really incredible so we thought we’d share a few our favorite explanations about why you love running:

“Running gives me the courage to be myself, it reduces stress, it sets off an inner switch that suddenly fills me with so many positive emotions like happiness and gratitude for others, the world and my health. I feel that when I’m out on the road, I can beat any fears I have in life. Running sets me free. Running allows me to connect better with nature and more importantly my dog- it amazes me that two separate species can interact without even saying a word to each other simply by putting one foot in front of the other.”
