For those of you that have worn Path Projects before I have a few questions about the Graves PX and the Pyrenees Hoodie.

1. Are they worth the price?

2. The Graves PX, how is the fit in the waist. I wear a Medium in Fabletics and Nike Strider, but they all vary between about 14-15 inches across the waist. So I am wondering about the Graves size and not sure between M and L.

3. The Graves PX will it fit a IPhone 17 Pro Max with a slim case in the back phone pocket.

4. The Pyrenees Hoodie, is it actually light enough to warm in the hot summer to keep off the sun. I live in costal GA and it’s already pushing 85 here and most times by the end of the run it’s above 100.

Thanks in advance for the feedback.

I have Salomon trail shoes and find that the tongue slips and then the quick lace pinches and rubs the top of my foot / inside of my ankle and causes blisters. Has anyone tried anyone tried to change the laces or is there anything else I could try?

I’ve been running consistently for a couple months now adding about 10% every week to my run volume, currently covering 16 miles this week.

Ready to start taking my training more seriously as I’ve signed up for a 50KM Trail Race in Florida in November.

Can any’a’y’all link some structured plans below? I have no idea how to verify on my own if google is returning decent search results or not.

Not sure if it matters but I am 6’0, 209lbs in case that affects anything. Currently my 3 Mile Z2 pace is 14:03 and that’s at a conversational pace.

Thank y’all for the help!

Hey everyone,

Wondering how folks here go about setting their training plans. I started as a road runner, but after my first marathon switched to training for trail races. I used Run with Hal for the marathon and it was great. But I've had a hard time finding something at a similar level for the recreational trail runner. The heavy data tools are more than I'm looking for, but I would like a way to generate a simple traning plan that accounts for the elevation I need to be planning for in a given race. And if it could sync easily to my Garmin, that would be idea.

I know a lot of the folks here seem keen on coaches, but that's out of the price range at this stage.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help!

I created an Garmin app to track my progress during my upcoming RTO race.l. it's called LegRunner. I included other races happening in April. My goal was to gauge where I was in my leg and plan for upcoming hills. I listed it on Garmin IQ and I plan on including every race each month. I'd love to improve upon it and get feedback from the community on desired features etc... have a great weekend and good luck to everyone running SoCal!

Looking for a way to communicate with a runner who’s out running in the mountains while we’re at stops waiting for him. We have a runner running in an ultra and need a good way of communicating with him while he’s out there in the mountains. There’s 0 cell service so that’s not an option.

I recently stumbled across the Vaga Lightweight Mesh Skullcap and thought I had found the holy grail piece I’ve been looking for for years:

a synthetic beanie specifically designed for moisture wicking and running - meaning I can finally wear a beanie for summer runs (I don’t like wearing caps). It also had a bit more of a slouchy fit than most skull caps which tend to look like swim caps. At just £18 too.

Unfortunately, it fits insanely tight on my 59cm circumference head, compressing my head painfully.

Does anyone here have any recommendations for something similar?

Criteria would be:

- Synthetic moisture wicking fabric

- Designed for heat and moisture management

- Preferably specific to running or high output sports

- Minimal branding, plain colours

- No swim cap fits

- Well made - quality fabrics and construction

Annoying that the Vaga hat ticked all of these apart from the fit! Hopefully they would consider a larger version.

Thanks
