hydration pack/vest for females
I love trail running. Must of my trail running has been short (under 10km) but lately I have be doing a lot longer trail runs ( 9 to 20km). I have a standard hydration pack that I use for hiking. The only problem is that the shoulder straps are not designed for running, and I get chaffing on my neck (only on one side).…

1h45m
So last week I ran my 3rd half marathon. (1st for the year). I ran it in a time of 1h52m35s. It was a flat course. Didn't really go out hard and fast, just wanted to run it. (as it was the 1st time I did this course). Now I was briefly talking to a fellow running friend (retired from running now), and he said I should aim…

socks
I need better socks... but it's most likely my shoes (i got them at a running specialist store). On my long runs (i'm talking 10km +) I get blisters (always in the same spot). If I tape up my foot prior, no blisters, but if I forget blisters. So I'm just wondering what socks does everyone use to help prevent blisters.

garmin vs other gps device
I currently have a garmin 405cx. It has however cracked the sads yet again. I bought it 2nd hand, so I knew there was a possibility that it may not last long. It's lasted me 10 months. It's not charging very well, and then half way through a run, it will just shut down, even though it may be fully charged. So I'm thinking…

recovery program
So I'm currently doing insanity asylum / running hybrid, in the lead up to me doing tough mudder (19th Jan 2013). I do plan to do chalene extreme after I finish what I'm doing now, but I would like to give my body a decent rest (about 3 weeks) of low intensity program. So what do you suggest?

Why do you run?
I'm curious as to why everyone runs? Me? Well I run because I love how it makes me feel. It really helps to clear my head/mind. It has also helped me in cardio endurance, and vice versa. Now some other questions. -what shoes are you running in? -do you own any compression wear? -run with music or without? -fav after run…

cross training shoe recommendation
I love running, and I use my ascis kayano's specifically for running. (I own 2 pairs, that i rotate). On the days I don't run, I cross train. P90x, insanity, turbofire, so lots of lateral movement. I currently own nike free 2 which I love, but I've had them over a year now, and I'm really feeling that they are not giving…
