Pro Tips

Small moves that make the checklist easier to finish

Rotate between two or three pairs of running shoes to extend their lifespan, allow the cushioning to fully decompress, and adapt to different running conditions or distances.
Always 'test drive' new gear on shorter, less critical runs before wearing it for a race, long run, or challenging workout to identify any discomfort or chafing issues.
Dress for 10-15 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the actual air temperature when planning your running outfit, as your body will quickly generate heat once you start moving.
