Though we use them nearly daily on roads, our run commute packs are all designed for trails, for hikers, through-hikers, fastpackers.

Book Report: Eat & Run by Scott Jurek
I’ve been following Scott Jurek’s progress on the ultra racing scene for the past few years with great interest. I first learned of him – as did many, many others – while reading Chris McDougal’s bestselling book, Born to Run.

You can get more pleasure from your prizes by repurposing your medals, and come off as being accomplished, ingenious and modest. Some have used medals as Christmas ornaments. Some [...]
Small Numbers Really Add Up – Stephanie’s Dec-2011 Run Commuter Stats
December was my first month run commuting and I logged plenty of miles doing it. Check out this image of my month-long mileage log below. Add the total 47.81-miles of run commuting to some long weekend runs (not listed, but included a 10K and half-marathon race) and it’s clearly possible to keep up running skills [...]
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 [...]
