The ING New York City Marathon: November 2, 2008
1 recommendation
"Covering all five boroughs of the City of New York, the NYC Marathon has plenty of challenging hills but an incredible outpouring of support from residents of the neighborhoods all along the course. If you cheer, participate or volunteer, you can catch the action on NBC at approximately 3:00 p.m. on race day. I wish all runners good luck, good weather and a great finish !"
Nike Air Zoom Structure Triax+ 11 Running Shoe
1 recommendation
"OK, I'm being superficial here. You're supposed to pick your running shoe according to how best it suits your needs. But I just like the colors of this with the black, purple and gray. This Nike shoe has a softer crash pad for better comfort."
Toe Caps

"I wish I knew of this before I ran the marathon. As it was I got blisters and lost a toenail. Not fun."
New Balance MR 1001 Absorb EX
1 recommendation
"Coming in at number 96 on the list are New Balance running shoes. According to stuffwhitepeoplelike.com, it seems as though most white people own a pair. These are also the same people who are anti-sweatshop marathons runners. You can be one too, with these MR 1001 which comes with 3/4 Absorb EZ technology. Radical!"

Blue Light: Bloc Party
2 recommendations
"Music in my head .... If that's the way it is, then thats the way it iiiiissss .... This is one song I don't mind getting in my head, it is one of my favorites! This song is great for warm-ups & col downs, stretching, yoga, and long distance running you know when you have beautiful scenery all around you and you just tune everything out and focus on the road in front of you."
NICK HOTCHKISS - Triathlon Tie
4 recommendations
"Swim, bike, run . . . work? Well, it’s what most of us have to do in order to pay for the next race, so why not remind everyone in the office that you are a triathlete!"
K-Swiss, Inc. : Men's Ultra Natural Run
1 recommendation
"Just in time for the 2008 Boston Marathon, K-Swiss introduces a light-weight running shoe built for speed. Also recommended for triathletes, this shoe is available in five different color combos."
Under Armour | UA Streaker | Runner's Sunglasses
1 recommendation
"I have never gotten into the habit of wearing sunglasses, even though I generally run in broad daylight. I know I should but I have yet to found a pair that actually stays on my face for the duration. Under Armour to the rescue with the Streaker, specifically designed for bumpy rides and gusts of wind. Both men's and women's styles available."
adidas by Stella McCartney: Women's Microbounce Spotu
1 recommendation
"These shoes remind me of a Creamsicle . . . which should be enough motivation to keep me running until the spring decides to sprout. And if you are training for the Boston Marathon, you deserve a pair of shoes this sweet."
Road Runner Sports: Women's Manzella Polartec Powerstretch Gloves
1 recommendation
"Inevitably, my hands are the coldest part of my body when I run in the winter and spring. Although not particularly pretty, these gloves are a key ingredient whenever I head out the door for a run."
Road Runner Sports: Women's Performance Rain Jacket
1 recommendation
"Dressing in layers is always a good idea for race day, and for this race you also want to be prepared for cold, wet and/or windy conditions. And even if you aren't running any marathons in the near future, this jacket will convince you to get outside and get moving no matter how uninviting the conditions."
Women's adidas adizero XT - Road Runner Sports
1 recommendation
"If I were lucky enough to be running the Boston Marathon this year, these Adidas trail runners would be my shoe of choice. The course is long and winding and rain is always a consideration . . . these shoes will keep your feet comfy and well-ventilated even if the rest of you is not."
Boston Athletic Association: 112TH BOSTON MARATHON - April 21, 2008
1 recommendation
"Always run on Patriots' Day, the Boston Marathon is second only to the Superbowl in terms of the amount of on-site media coverage it garners. And you cannot just show up in order to participate, you must qualify by achieving a particular pace (based upon your age) at another marathon. And you have to be 18 or older. Since I have yet to run a marathon, I am out of luck for this year . . . but lo..."
Rock/Creek Trail Series
1 recommendation
"Rock/Creek in Chattanooga, TN, just launched a new Trail Series, with 9 race dates and 13 distance options from five miles to 100k. The events are spread out throughout the year and start with the River Gorge race on March 29th. The StumpJump 50k is also a part of the series, taking place in October, and is a great race. Two of the races are also in Vasque's Trail Tour. Check it out."
Under Armour | Women's HeatGear Premiere 1 | 1001116
1 recommendation
"A great, high support running bra for those of us who are a little less well-endowed on top. Extra padding on the tops of the shoulders is what does it for me - somehow this ingenious idea makes running a lot more comfortable for me. It also features Under Armour's HeatGear technology, designed to wick sweat away from your body so you stay comfortable. Reinforced stitching means this bra is mea..."
Gu Energy Gel
2 recommendations
"A great little pick-me-up for runs when you feel like you're lagging. Need an extra jolt to get you through the last five miles of your training run? Gulp down one of these suckers! My favorite is vanilla bean."
Mizuno Wave Creation - Womens Running Shoes
2 recommendations
"Simply the best running shoes for neutral runners who like just a bit of cushioning. Wave Creations are designed for long-distance runs, and once you do a run in these shoes, you won't think of using any other brand. I'm on my fourth generation of these shoes, having run a half marathon, five 10Ks and countless training runs in them."
Horizon Hydration Pak
2 recommendations
"This lightweight women-specific pack flexes to the contours of your hips preventing the bottle from bouncing in its insulated cradle. It features comfortably padded Airmesh backing to wick away moisture and two zippered side pockets for storing essentials."
Shoe Pouch for Nike+iPod
4 recommendations
"This nifty pouch fixes it so that you don't have to buy only Nike shoes to use the Nike iPod sport kit."
ASICS Hera Run Gloves
1 recommendation
"Designed for a woman - the sort of woman who is unafraid to run in rain, cold and snow. Made of a nylon/polyurethane laminate for protection. The poly fleece liner makes it cozy, but breathes."
Adidas Dynamic Response Boot Tight
1 recommendation
"Looking for a tight that fits like a pant, with a waistband that's not low-rise? These soft, jersey running tights fall at your natural waist. They have a slim, flattering fit through the hips and thighs, a wider lower leg and a bootleg hem. The terry elastic waist and wicking fabric helps keep you dry."
WrightSock Double Layer Coolmesh Quarter Sock
1 recommendation
"You need socks that breathe. No cotton. I like this anklet cut because it prevents the edge of my shoe from rubbing against my ankle. The Dri-WRIGHT. multi-channeled yarns wick moisture away from the foot, allowing the moisture to spread out over the channels giving it a larger area from which to evaporate. Giving you a blister-free run."
Motrin ibuprofen
1 recommendation
"Are we allowed to recommend drugs on here? Anyway, this is great to bring down the swelling and pain after a long run. Just don't take more than the recommended amount."
Women's Brooks Wanganui Softshell Jacket
1 recommendation
"Basically a storm shelter from wind, rain or snow, this comfortable, light shell is lined with soft fleece to wick moisture, zippered side and sleeve pockets for all your essentials, and MP3 storage."
RRS IntelliSafe ID Hat w/Light
1 recommendation
"Every runner should always carry some form of ID on them. This hat does that for you plus has reflectivity and even a removable/replaceable blinking light for maximum visibility and safety at night or in foggy and rainy conditions."
BodyGlide Anti-Chafing Stick
2 recommendations
"This helps prevent blisters, chafing, dry skin, cracked skin and rash. Use it everywhere - for hands, feet, upper body, inner thighs, under arms, shoulders and chest (nipples)."
French Lavender EO Bath House Bath Salts
1 recommendation
"For achy muscles after a training run, nothing feels as heavenly as a soak in a lavender-scented bath. California Sun Dried Sea Salt is rich in calcium, potassium and magnesium. It adds valuable trace minerals to the bath, softening the water naturally and gently cleansing the skin. Epsom Salt draws toxins from the body, reduces swelling and relaxes the muscles."
Gu Energy Gel Espresso Love-2X Caffeine 24 pckts
1 recommendation
"When I did the City of Angels half marathon this gave me the energy and nutrition my body needed to push me through the end. I never tried energy gels before and this was surprisingly tasty."
