Running and Related Exercise Thread

There seems to be a fair number of running gwjers among us, both fledgling and formidably experienced. However, I haven't come across a purely general thread about running, so I thought I would set one up.

I labelled this thread "Running and Related Exercise" because I think it will be a perfect home for any discussions about:

- Walking/hiking
- Triathlon training
- Any other sports that support your running routine

I'll kick things off by picking up from the GWJ 500 Mile Run Club 2013 thread's discussion about running in cold weather.

I find a wide neck gaiter of the sort that covers not only your neck but a part of your chest, like the kind that motorcyclist's wear, to be absolutely indispensable when running in temperatures like -10C to -20C. As long as I have my neck gaiter, I could be running naked for all I care.

There's also a general running thread called "so I ran a 5k today" or something close to that.

Yeah, true, but I feel that one has a bit of a diary vibe to it and prolly wasn't intended to be a general, catch-all thread for running.
