I've added an evaluation of eight different calf compression
sleeves to my review of compression tights. There are a number of great sleeves
on the market, as well as a few I'd recommend you avoid. http://fellrnr.com/wiki/A_review_of_graduated_compression_wear

The importance, prevention and treatment of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)
The landing forces from running, especially downhill
running, tend to produce Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS). DOMS not only
involves delayed soreness, but also immediate weakness can ruin a race. However, a key benefit of DOMS inducing
exercise is that a bout of DOMS can give protection against similar future
exercise, and the protection lasts for months. Taking protein after DOMS
inducing exercise is one of the best treatments, though compression clothing,
caffeine and massage can also help. This article distills over 100 scientific
studies in a practical summary for athletes of all levels. http://fellrnr.com/wiki/Delayed_Onset_Muscle_Soreness

Bug fix for Garmin Footpod calibration utility
I've released a bugfix for my Garmin Footpod calibration
utility. The scaling factor was right, but the speed graph was misleading. I
was normalizing the GPS and footpod speeds against each other, was rather
useless. Now it displays the speed in meters/second, which should be more informative.

Updated - the best lights for running
I've added some notes to my recommendations on the best
lights for running to explain the battery life of the Petzl RXP. The manufacturer's
chart is a little confusing to say the least. http://fellrnr.com/wiki/Best_Running_Lights
