What are your tips or techniques for doing a run.... Are there cool techniques that we can learn from each other?

    I'm sure I don't do anything unique - I try to have some fruit about an hour before a run, and then some milk afterwards. I keep reading that chocolate milk is the ideal post-run snack - gotta try that!

    The hot season's over now, but I'd be keen to hear ideas about how to keep cool when running in heat. I tried wearing ice-cubes in a kerchief around my neck, with fairly good success. (but I looked odd, I'm sure).

    Hi Shane,
    I have never heard of ice-cubes in a kerchief around your neck - do post some pictures!

    You just want to see how foolish I looked ... I didn't care at the time though. :^)

    By now you've probably found that chocolate milk is the best post-run drink. When you finish the run drink your normal water/sports drink to get re-hydrated but after 30 minutes or so there's nothing like refueling with a large glass or even a quart of rich chocolate milk.
