We were recently asked if we wanted a free RIBZ Front Pack (coordinated by Deep Creek Public Relations) in consideration for review publication. While it’s normally promoted as a product for a wide variety of outdoor activities, including hiking, fishing and kayaking, we decided to try it out and see how well it performed for run commuting. We ran it through two different [...]

Where to Run (or How to Survive in the War Against Cars)
Lately, it seems like there has been an increase in running-related accidents (Tim Nelson of Seattle, and Sophie of TRC) or near-accidents (myself) everywhere you turn, so I thought it would be a good time to talk about where to run. I’m not talking about the safest or best cities for running – I mean [...]
Sophie: run commuter, bumper surfer
Lordy! A season has passed and the weather has turned tempestuous in Georgia, nigh-freezing nights and too-warm days, with winds whipping flags, leaves and my massive hair to and fro.

Now that’s dedication that we here at TRC can appreciate. Bill Bradley interviewed long distance run [...]
Technique: Keeping Your Shoelaces Tied
Nothing makes me more angry than having to stop and re-tie shoes during a race. It doesn’t usually happen during 5K’s because the laces tend to keep themselves together for that short amount of time. But for anything over that, it’s kind of nice to not have to worry about it and focus on the [...]
Run@Work Day or Run2Work Day: both great options
Man oh man, I hope your Run@Work Day/Run2Work Day has been as good as mine! I rose at 4 a.m. with Laura, who was assigned overtime on the dayside shift. She works for an international media organization headquartered in Atlanta; normally she is on overnights but those dayside wieners needed some extra fire power today, [...]
