Amphipod AirFlow Microstretch Belt™ Review

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.

1200 Mile ChallengeThis weekend we challenged you to run a collective 1,200 miles over the course of two days. On Saturday, we accumulated a whopping 780 miles! The following day, we added 755 miles. By the end of the weekend 177 people ran a grand total of 1,535 miles.

In the process many runners set personal records (PR), completed a 5K, 10K, half, full, or even ultra race for the first time or as a veteran. Families ran together, dogs ran with their bipeds, some walked the walk, others braved the treadmill. What unfolded was nothing short of amazing.

Each time we host a challenge we are continually impressed with the dedication you have, not to the challenge, but to one another. We came together as an #Anywhere5K community and we all reached our goal together!

And now for the good part. Since we met BOTH of our goals we’re giving away an #Anywhere5K hooded sweatshirt, two Road ID gift cards, and one GU Energy Labs prize pack of energy gels!
