Why spend your days trapped in a smelly room staring at your reflection in the mirror when you can be outside enjoying the nice weather?
How is your training going anon? Any races coming up? :)
how do you guys treat calluses
also what shoes do you wear for running
I don't really have big calluses. I think it all comes down to having good shoes that fit well. My running shoes tend to be pretty tight compared to my everyday shoes (half a size smaller)
Right now I'm using a pair of Nike Free 3.0. But from what I've heard it really depends on what kind of strike you have

Local 10k in 2 weeks hoping to place top 3 in my age group with a sub-36'. Racing not huge in my town so might as well take advantage of it.

Just completed a local 10k 2 weeks ago. Averaged a 10:30 mile. Training for a half marathon in October. It'll be my first.
excited for a 15 mile long run on staurday. Not sure how to go about fueling since I hate carrying things while running, might stop at a store halfway through. any suggestions?

sockless?

I always wear those drifit socks. I think the sweat would kill the shoes too fast if I was sockless

Get an hydration belt with a pocket. You'll need the water/energy drink anyways, and they aren't really intrusive

Nice pace anon!
My goal for the end of the year is to break the 20' in a 5k, and hopefully a sub 40' 10k early next year.

Thanks!
I know everyone says it, but with a steady increase in weekly mileage you'll break those goals easily.

Tight fitting socks with a ton of foot powder on feet and in shoe.
Sock quality is everything for prevent calluses, getting rid of moisture also helps.
Shoes are a lot harder to choose than people think.
What kind of running are you doing?
acsis has some good running shoes for average distance to marathon running.
However they lack trail shoes and sprint shoes.
A place i sometimes run its so relaxing going on walks or jogs.

Has anyone else tried loading up on beets the morning before a race? It helped me a ton
