In my years of trail running, cycling and hiking, I’ve come to appreciate gear that isn’t bulky or bouncy. If you’re like me, when you’re carrying something on your back or around your waist, you want a low profile design that conforms to your body and doesn’t flop around. Ideally, the contents inside the thing you’ve got strapped to your body won’t bounce either. The container should conform to the gear it’s carrying. And in my quest to find the perfect stretchy, conforming, non-floppy, non-dorky piece of carrying equipment, I’ve found that the Amphipod Microstretch Belt™ is perfect for carrying essentials during exercise.
The 5k as a race is not really a new concept. The 5k has been around for ages. It’s just a unit of measurement. A span of about 3.1 miles going from point A to point B. The beauty of #Anywhere5K is that it celebrates running at its very core.
Sometimes running is just hard. And that is OK. Every run can’t possibly be easy or feel good. Some might disagree with that sentence but I have found it to be true for myself and in talking with fellow runners. Especially when training for an event. You’re asking your body to move faster than it normally does for extended periods of time. Of course it’s going to hurt at some point.
