Gaiters are to keep the debris out, not keep your ankles dry. They also aid in keeping your shoe on your foot when you step in a big sucking mud puddle, or so I've found. I currently run in LaSportiva Wildcats. I used to run in New Balance before they changed my model. Picked up a few newer NB models for cheap so I will be…

Weigh in when you come home. It's not a big deal to weigh in a day late. Are you going to take your scale with you every time you go somewhere?

Having worked as a manager at Tim Hortons (and therefore placing the order for the cream and milk) I can tell you that the cream does not already have sugar in it. It's simply cream. This is in Ontario. It may be different in different provinces and different chains. But think about it this way, if someone who only drinks…

A word of caution re: almond milk. It is not a good source of protein, so I wouldn't consider it a replacement for dairy milk.

I don't wear a colour co-ordinated track suit and a terry cloth sweat band, and therefore I don't jog, I run. ;) I would disagree that shorter strides = jogging. My stride is quite short, and I am definitely a runner, not a jogger.

The argument was that someone said muscle weighs more than fat. This is incorrect. A pound of muscle weighs a pound. A pound of fat weighs a pound. A pound of feathers weighs a pound. However, a pound of feathers takes up far more space than a pound of muscle. So the sentence "muscle weighs more than fat" does not make any…

I'm bumping this to see if anyone can answer the question of whether you need the subscription to find out calories burned. Can you just connect the body bugg to your computer to receive the data? I'm not concerned about tracking food because I can do that here.

It's water retention from the sodium and MSG. Drink tonnes of water and you'll be fine in a couple of days.

ludger I see you've completed Haliburton. That was my first 50 miler, and I'm hoping to do 100 there (I may attempt Sulphur 100 miler first depending on how my training goes). I'm sure we've likely ran past each other in a race or two. My plan for next year is to do most of the Ultra series again. It was my plan this year,…

Thanks Kirsty! Beautiful scenery in your profile pic by the way.

I've done a bunch of 50Ks and two 50 milers. Next year the plan is at least a couple of 50 milers (and numerous 50Ks), and in 2013 I will attempt my first 100 miler. But yes, anything over 42.2K is considered an ultra marathon. The majority of my races are on technical trail so they're more difficult (and longer time on my…
