#runchat Sunday 6/12, Sponsored by ZephyrFit



The sun is out, the sky is blue, Sunday is back for another #runchat with you.  This week we welcome our first fitness technology sponsor, ZephyrFit. This will be perfect for all of you runners who like to geek out over new gear and technology. Read on….

About the Sponsor: Zephyr Technology is a global leader in real-time physiological and biomechanical monitoring or “Physiological Status Monitoring” (PSM) solutions for Connected Health, Fitness and the Academic Research markets. Zephyr Technology leverages a world class team of engineers, scientists, physiologists and business experts.

Founded in 2003, Zephyr Technology has been a pioneer in the use of PSM in training and high stress operational environments. The company’s ongoing collaboration with fire departments, NASA Ames Research Center, National Guard Civil Support Teams, and multiple US Special Forces has been invaluable in the development and validation of Zephyr’s technology and its application in the most extreme operating environments to Measure Life. . . Anywhere!

The Giveaway: We will be giving to one person a ZephyrFit.  What is a ZephyrFit? Well, it leverages the technology developed for the military and sports markets; delivering an ultra simplistic way to monitor, measure, display and store your health related information over time. ZephyrFit uses Smartphones to collect & present bio-data, while also sending it to a secure web portal for review and sharing. “Studies have shown that when individuals are measured and can review the information over time; they modify their habits to get better. ZephyrFit is the first, commercially available product to measure fitness over time. ZephyrFit was developed for the over worked and stressed person who needs know how they are”, says Brian Russell, Zephyr’s CEO.

ZephyrFit has just been launched with pricing starting at $249

How to Enter: Everyone who participates in the #runchat this weekend will be entered, at the end of the #runchat we will use random.org to select a winner; it is that simple to win!

To increase your odds of winning follow @ZephyrAnywhere on Twitter and leave a comment below that you have done so for an entry.

Like them on Facebook and comment on their wall then leave a comment below saying that you have done so and we will increase your entry again.

The #runchat Details:  beginning at 8 p.m. EST on Sunday June 12th myself and @RunningBecause will ask a running-related question using Twitter hashtag #runchat. You answer; you re-tweet other people’s answers; you respond to other people’s answers. If you’re not familiar with Twitter, it’s really that simple.  Hootsuite is what I use as it makes following the conversations for the particular tag really easy.

The #runchat will last from 8-9 p.m. EST. We’ll post a new question every 5-10 minutes, depending on the nature of the conversations going on. We will be moderating the chat and all questions will come from myself or David who will be flying solo this week.

Also, here are some helpful tips for having the best #runchat experience:

- TweetDeck or Hootsuite, create a new column with the #runchat tag to follow along

-  TweetChat has been running very slowly the past few weeks so we can not endorse this as the most reliable option but if you do use it  just sign in to that site with your Twitter account, put in the tag #runchat, you can join in the conversation without even having to retype #runchat

- web-based Twitter, create a new saved search with #runchat.

No matter how you follow along, please use the hashtag #runchat in each of your posts so we can follow all of the comments.

So get out there and #runchat with us! Follow our awesome sponsor on Twitter @ZephyrAnywhere and like them on Facebook.

Looking forward to having you at #runchat.
