  • Whats your running gear?

    What do you use for your roadwork? Like ipod, wrist weights, weighted vest, your everlast tracksuit. etc.
    Also, is it true that ankle weights can **** your knees up?

    Thanks.

    Mouthpiece and a beanie with my gyms name on it.

    No shirt, no shoes, no ipod. Doesn't matter the weather, be it 30 degrees out or 100 degrees out, I still run the same. If its too cold, I run faster.

    Ankle weights **** up your hamstrings where they connect to the back of your knee.

        ipod nano with locking headset (i just hate it when ur earplugs fall out when you speed up) and a normal sweat suit with an old pair of nike air max shoes. I went 5 miles with a 20 lbs weighted vest last week and my legs felt crushed. I used to run shorter distances last summer and had no problems, but I really wouldn't recommend using any weighted gear when running.

          Shorts, pair of my Highschool Sweat pants, long sleeve shirt from baseball and a doo up hoodie. I just wear a pair of old shoes and listen to my mp3 player.

                    Weather forecast for 5 AM tomorrow: mid-30's F with mixed rain and snow.

                    My running gear for winter:

                    silk long john bottoms

                    polypro warm-up bottoms

                    Coldgear compression shirt

                    Woolrich wool overshirt

                    Smartwool socks

                    New Balance running shoes

                    black wool watchcap, military-issue, the heavy-duty one you get at surplus stores for $3

                    microfleece-lined deerskin gloves, treated with waterproofing weekly

                    10,000 mm waterproof, 3-layer breathable ultralight rain shell -- THE most expensive piece of exercise equipment I own; around $350.

                    Edit: I don't use an iPod or headphones of any sort. Ever. Too easy to lose myself in the music and fall off a bridge, get attacked by a dog I didn't hear coming, get hit by a car or a bicyclist, etc. Maybe it's the hunter in me, but IMO you would have to be nuts to even WALK down a pitch-dark street with half your situational awareness shot to hell; much less RUN down one.
