The Dean Karnazes 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days video is good. The story of Frank Lebau (sp?) the founder of the NYC marathon is also a good documentary. I feel like I also watched a documentary about the Badwater ultra marathon, but forget the title.Greg Friese, MS, NRPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018827980161622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871058394352997646.post-12837788563227152562012-12-26T22:51:04.805-06:002012-12-26T22:51:04.805-06:001) I have come to really not like the flavor of so...1) I have come to really not like the flavor of some of the gels (no names here). It is fake flavor and just doesn't go down very well. I've tried several different electrolyte and amino acid water mixes with similar results. Most people around here avoid Gatorade though as it is a poor nutritional choice.<br /><br />2) I love my calf sleeves following your advice and was hoping Santa would give me arm sleeves. Although I run in a warm climate compared to you, when it is 45-55 degrees and raining, the arm sleeves would really make things more comfortable.<br /><br />3) My NB hat with built-in High and Low beam LEDs has failed so now I only have low beams. I'm going to ask them to replace it but I have friends with night time sun quality headlights - around $65 price tag and you won't be sorry.<br /><br />4) I rarely get to run in freezing temps, so for me a running cap is ideal to get started when I don't sweat so much. Later when it is warmer, a Headsweats cap or band would be ideal.<br /><br />5) Agree, Born to Run is good and there are others... I have several on my iPad Kindle app but have been too busy running to actually read them :)<br /><br />I'd like to know what your favorite running videos are. One of my local guys posted his top 10 videos on his blog... there are some good ones in there!
