I’m past 25% of the #3for31 Challenge and couldn’t be more thrilled! I’m tired, very tired. Most marathon training plans call for 5 days of running per week, so when I’m at nearly double that, my body is going to feel the pain. If I’ve learned anything about this challenge […]
Eight days of running is no joke. 5 miles on day 8 and I’m beat, I’m dead tired. The weather isn’t helping, but that’s the point, getting out there and running in the winter. It’s not the dead of winter yet, so I shouldn’t complain, but it’s damn cold. 40 […]
#3for31 has been an amazing way to kickstart my day or end it on a high note. December is a month of glorious food, gifts, and cold temperatures, not prime training months. Today was the end of day 7, nearly 25% through and my legs haven’t become tired yet. To […]
#3for31 Day 3 is over! The first sunny day in December was still a cold day. Winter is here, damn. Today was like any other running day, wake up, get going. As I mentioned yesterday, today was scheduled to be an easy day, nothing crazy, 3-4 miles. My body is […]
Day 2 for #3for31 was another rainy-ass run. Running in the rain sucks. It gets in your face, in your shoes, pants, it’s annoying. The worst weather you can run in is cold temperatures coupled with rain. It’s not cold enough for snow, so it’s almost freezing rain and accumulates […]
Day 1 of the #3for31 challenge went off without a hitch. Aside from the cold and the rain, it was great. The #3for31 challenge was created by Robin Arzon who is a street athlete, fitness instructor, and all-around bad ass. My running buddies and I are officially in the running/racing […]
You don’t need to be a Marine to be a fit guy. While none of us here at Dapper Guide are ripped like Arnold, some of us consider ourselves athletes and part-time adrenaline junkies. The Men’s Health Urbanathlon is no cake walk. Held in three cities (Chicago, New York and […]
There are tons of fitness trackers out there. Some more advanced and attractive than others. But one of the most popular ones is the Nike+ FuelBand. The water-resistant bracelet-style wearable has a three-axis accelerometer, ambient light sensor, LED progress indicators, and connects to smartphones via an app. Daily Steals is […]
Chinese tech startup Xiaomi is considered the Apple of gadgets in China. After luring in high-profile Huge Barra a year ago, the company has moved quickly to produce high-quality electronics without the high prices. Xiaomi’s latest gadget is the Mi Band, a wearable fitness monitor and sleep tracker with a […]
Adidas isn’t sitting idle while Nike, Fitbit, Withings (and soon Apple) dominate the fitness wearable market. Meet the miCoach Fit Smart, the company’s Fuel Band clone that tracks your heart rate, calories burned, pace, stride rate and total distance when you’re exercising. An LED indictor glows in four different colors […]
The problem with today’s fitness tracking bands is that it’s quite obvious what they are on your wrist. Devices such as the Nike Fuel Band and Fitbit are often rubbery and ugly, or they’re trying to be a smartwatch (Samsung Gear Fit), but failing to be good at it. Withings’s […]
In addition to the Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo and Galaxy S5, Samsung also revealed another new product at Mobile World Congress: the Gear Fit. Unlike the Gear 2 smartwatch, the Gear Fit is a wristwatch-like device that focuses on fitness. The Gear Fit has a 1.84-inch rectangular touchscreen, a […]
