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 […]
Running is great for your body, it gets you healthier and happier. Whether you’re running marathons or 30 minutes a week, you will feel better and live longer. Once you make the decision to start running, the next step is choosing the right shoes. Nike Free Runs are great for […]
Hydration is a crucial part of any workout. Whether you workout monthly, run marathons or complete triathlon, if you’re not hydrated the end result can be dangerous. We’ve been in marathon mode for the past year, and have been trying any and all methods to stay hydrated. Water will do […]
Preppy meets athletics is how I would describe Tracksmith’s running apparel. The new company’s Ivy League inspired collection is made in New England, which is just perfect because that happens to be where Harvard, Yale, Brown and the dozen other elite universities are. Van Cortlandt Singlet: This tank and its […]
Working out and being healthy has been one of our resolutions this year and we’re quickly learning that equipment is very important. We need comfortable kicks that are breathable and flexible, cold/warm weather gear and some good socks. As much as we love Michael Jordan, we’re not doing ourselves a […]
I’ve never been a running shoe type of guy. You see, I attend a lot of conventions where I need to lug around a backpack filled with 25 pounds worth of gear (cameras, chargers, laptops, etc.). To say the added weight kills my back would be an understatement. So, when […]
