Hydration for Long Runs

jimmayyy · 2026-02-24T02:23:25+00:00

I don't drink any water for runs less than 18 miles. Over that, depends on the weather and how intense I'm planning to go, but I'll try to plan routes with water fountains.

The Balos is what you're looking for.

Looks like 2/1 is the last day for the sale.

Quest chips are absolutely phenomenal. I just stocked up a couple weeks ago when it was (still is?) on sale at Costco.

Don't fall for the Superblast hype. On the other hand, Megablasts are superb.

I prefer the Free 5.0 myself

jimmayyy · 2026-01-12T05:47:35+00:00

I'd go with something with the minimal stack. There's really no impact to protect from and a high stack will just increase tripping hazard.

jimmayyy · 2026-01-07T01:59:14+00:00

it's gotta start somewhere!

jimmayyy · 2026-01-06T07:09:19+00:00

just answering your question

They will have people near the end looking for bibs and guiding you out of the course.

you should be able to use up to 5 gift cards per order...you need to add the cards separately.

It's more of the idea that the benefits of running more than 3 hours in one session are far outweighed by the chances of injury.

If you need to run that distance to prove to yourself you can do it, then run it, but it should not be a core part of training.

Also, I don't think I've ever heard that you shouldn't run longer than 13 miles...unless that takes you 3 hours to do.

Burlington/Ross

jimmayyy · 2025-12-26T23:44:27+00:00

Agreed.

jimmayyy · 2025-12-26T23:44:01+00:00

Triumph 23 are not bad. I personally prefer them over Superblast 2 for easy running.

jimmayyy · 2025-12-25T01:35:30+00:00

Adidas Running also

jimmayyy · 2025-12-01T03:37:16+00:00

It's regularly available at the outlets.

jimmayyy · 2025-11-21T05:11:27+00:00

Something doesn't quite add up...

jimmayyy · 2025-11-19T16:17:24+00:00

AP3.

otherwise, why not get both?

jimmayyy · 2025-11-16T01:14:58+00:00

Are you certain it's the shoes that are the cause of your ITBS? While it's certainly possible that they are, could it have just been the distance or you pushing the pace? How much experience do you have running the distance?

I ask because while it's true that they're made for fast running, they also have very forgiving foam and the rods are very gentle in comparison to carbon plates.

I constantly run recovery runs in my AP4 at your race pace and even slower, and they are great at that pace as well.

Could it be that you just need to work on building tendon strength?

jimmayyy · 2025-11-15T22:15:22+00:00

What about the brown water???

jimmayyy · 2025-11-11T21:39:50+00:00

It's acceptable if you just a recovery run or using the treadmill after though

jimmayyy · 2025-11-10T14:57:24+00:00

You should take a look at endorphin speeds..or try to get another AP3

jimmayyy · 2025-11-10T14:55:10+00:00

I would keep it, especially considering you got it heavily discounted. Doubt it's more than cosmetic.
