The Marmot Approach Soft Shell is the perfect winter running coat, just warm enough to wear in the cold and really cold, all you need is a good layer underneath and it will work in any temperature range. The Marmot Approach has a longer cut  in the back to keep the wind and snow out along with a elastic waist tightener to snug up the fit. What’s nice the coat has enough room underneath and won’t restrict your movement when running. The raised collar keeps the neck warm from the really cold and windy days along with a sleeve pocket for the stash needs. The Marmot approach will keep the wind, snow and rain out along with a extremely breathable fabric. What’ nice this jacket won’t break the bank,,,,,,,,,,

100 mile racing tip

What to do with those empty gel packs during a 100 mile race? When I was running the Bighorn 100 I discovered the convenience of putting those empty gel packs under my water bottles inside my Nathan Pack! This works real slick, they are easy to pull out and dispose of at the aid stations while the crew fills your bottles. Did you ever finish a 100 miler with a pocket full of empty gel packs that dried into a clump of crystallized sugar? The empty gel packs end up a little wet from the water bottles so they do not stick to the pack, this is for only waist belts. If you have a convenient way to rid those sticky gel packs into a running back pack, let us know! Remember speed tip based on eating two to three packs of gel per hour! Bahahaha!
