It’s that time of year again. Despite some record-breaking heat and a heartfelt desire to do absolutely nothing in August, a breakneck marathon schedule demands that you start training for NYC, or maybe just that local turkey trot, ASAP. Not that we’re complaining. Fall miles are the best miles. To help you conquer any and all running-related goals this upcoming season, we’ve compiled a number of guides — from the shoes and brands you'll need to perform, to the gear you’ll need to recover, to the strategies and tips to keep you injury-free all season long — for you to best prepare for the miles ahead. We can’t help you get out the door (that’s on you, chief), but we sure as hell are here to support you with all the expert intel you’ll need as the runs get longer and the fatigue builds up. Take what you need, leave what you don’t and invest in a pair of toe splitters. And remember the Prefontaine mantra: “It’s not who’s the best — it’s who can take the most pain.” See you out there. |
