Reader and new run commuter Eric asks a very good question: “[M]ight you add where you store your wet running clothes during the day? I mean, they have to get dry before the pm commute, right?” Technically, no: they do not have to dry before the return home. I will impinge on no person’s prerogative [...]

Getting Started – Part 5: From Sweaty to Office Ready
We have enjoyed great interest and discussion since we began this endeavor, but we truly knew we were going somewhere when we got our first public criticism. Rather, I should say our first public concern: hygiene; more specifically, co-workers’ exposure to our assuredly horrendous hygiene. One Reddit reader voiced it thus: “Anyone who would run [...]
