Honestly, how much tougher is it running off a road bike? It’s all I have right now. This is my first year doing tris and I’ve done a few sprints and have my first olympic coming up in Sept. I’m not getting into the longer stuff until next year, and I plan on buying a tri bike well before my first half in May. Just curious.

Today I did 11miles and it felt great! I bought new shoes and with yanks and they felt great no problems. After the run me and my friend were walking to Denny’s ( I know dont say it!) when a female runner was coming towards us on the side walk. She was obviously struggling. I said as she approached great job! Keep it up! She shouted back F@#$ you A$%H%$#! I was nocked back! It was so full of hate! I yelled back “No wonder so many hate us runners and bikers!” I find her comments uncalled for…! At brakefast me and my friend talked about it I was still shocked. Is she a man hater….having a bad day? What?

Has this happened to you?

Come on we have a hard enough time as it is! We dont need some idiot runners making it worse. When some one say great job you can make it take it as a compliment not a cut down!

Can anyone tell me if they know of any limestone or birch bark trails in the Denver area? I know this sounds rather picky but I have alot of foot problems (to the point its difficult to walk). If anyone has any input that would be great.

I just started reading the book ‘Born to Run’ and was curious if anyone here has tried the chia seed food/drink they talk about in the book. Did it help you? Was it even noticeable? Would you recommend it to others?

Hi everyone. I did my first sprint tri on May 2 this year and loved it. So I thought I would try a half marathon on October 3. I am currently on a 16 week training program from smart coach. What could you suggest for the off days of running. What type of cross training would best benefit me for the race. I am really enjoying the running so far.

It has been really hot and humid up here (NH) and on my past few runs I have gotten really cold during my run, like goose-bumps-all-over-my-body-cold. Anyone else had this happen or know what it means?

I am looking for recommendations on good socks to wear for blister prevention on runs. I’m generally fine on my early morning training runs (anywhere from 5-10 miles usually). But in races, I often have hot spots and occasionally blisters, particularly on the ball of my foot. I attribute this primarily to my increased sweat rate in a full sun event, at race pace, and dousing my head with water at aid stations. At the end of a race, my socks are usually pretty damp, and I think the friction from these wet socks is the problem. I use all synthetic socks and have tried several brands, the most recent being Thorlo. I also apply Body Glide on the bottom of my foot, but that doesn’t seem to last. I just bought some very thin Pearl Izumi, thinking ‘less material, less moisture accumulation’, but I have to wait to try them until my blister from this weekend’s race heals a bit more.

Does anyone have any suggestions for socks that have worked for you to combat this problem?
