    Choice of running platform (pavement, grass, treadmill)

    I like a little barefoot running, but I'd generally rather do it on asphalt than grass. Debris can't hide on asphalt.

    what workout pants do you wear?

    I have these and they are awesome. I'll wear them out running with just boxer briefs down to around -15C before I need another layer. I've had them for a couple of years and wear them around the house on lazy days (which is a lot, since I work from home) and they haven't shown any signs of...

    100,000 miles for AT

    Just on the other side of the lake here (Toronto), it cooled off significantly in the evening. It was quite comfortable to run at around 22:00. But it was dark of course. I guess that doesn't work so well for your trail running.

    What's the consensus on Tabata Intervals?

    If you can do 3 sets in 15 minutes, you're probably not going hard enough.

    sweat headbands

    I never thought about it, but that's a good enough reason not to wear one. The raccoon effect from sunglasses is bad enough :P

    is there a point to slow and long cardio?

    I think that's the key. Exercise isn't necessarily a priority for everyone and if they had a choice between pushing harder or not exercising, they might choose not exercising. Sure, maybe it'd be more productive to work a bit harder for much less time and then go and use the extra time to...

    100,000 miles for AT

    I've been having trouble with my knee and haven't really been able to go farther than 10k at a time for the past 3 weeks or so, but I'm not (all that) old, so it happens to all of us :( 32 miles over said period. 33,685

    Vibrams vs. Racing Flat

    I have wondered this myself. With all the demand for new minimalist shoe designs, why aren't people just switching to the flats that already exist? While I haven't run in flats, there are a couple things that I'm assuming are different: Durability. I'm often told that flats don't last...
