Reviving this thread! Since August I’ve stuck to the plan and found a routine that has worked for me. I’ve got good leggings with pockets and use a handheld water bottle for hydration, with a little pouch for nutrition. The most challenging thing now is the evening runs in the dark and the cold weather. It definitely makes it harder to get out there and run, but I’ve come so far and I’m not willing to give all of that up.
My most recent concerns are cold weather running gear, and recovery. My favorite leggings aren’t really warm enough for the cold weather right now, and winter hasn’t even started yet. Now that the Springtime Surprise details have been announced, I’m going to have to fly home the evening of the Jan marathon in order to have the time to run these new races, which leads me to looking into compression socks or sleeves for the flight home.
I saw someone posted a link for Bombas on FB (20% off right now). Anyone have any experience with their compression socks?
