So you’ve been running countless laps on the Lexington Athletic Club mondo track (the largest indoor track in Kentucky, BTW, just sayin’) or sprinting up simulated hills on LAC’s 20% incline Woodway treadmills (our $11,000 hamster wheels, again, not braggin’ :-)) and now you’re ready to test your legs on the real thing…Well check it out LAC friends. Coming up on November 5, 2011 there is a 4 mile trail run at the Salato Wildlife Education Center just outside of Lexington. (register HERE)
This also might be the perfect time to try some of the new minimalist trail running shoes like the Vibram Five Fingers, New Balance Minimus or the Merrell Trail gloves. In Lexington, locally owned J&H Landmark, Phillip Galls and John’s Run/Walk Shop all have a great selection of Minimalist Trail Shoes to choose from.
