When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
4) Leave the gels for if/when you train for a marathon. You don't need them.
Oh, I know that with my mileage now I shouldn't even be thinking about them. I do plan on extending my mileage over time, and wondered how far I can go before needing them. Thanks for the help!

Sorry, it seemed like you were asking about them in relation to training for a half. I normally don't use them except for long runs (i.e 18-20+).

It is a lot of fun to see the expressions on people's faces when they see me pull something out of my bra or shorts....just an added bonus that can help lift your mood on long runs.
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
Now see there, that's the problem with most runners -- very few are willing to put in the extra effort to entertain the world around them like Andreia -- bravo for her, but shame for the rest of you.
Shoes - 300-500 miles, I believe, is the average. What that says to me is some people get that, some more, some less. This can be for any number of factors. Your weight can factor into it. If you are what is considered a "heavy runner" - odds are you're going to be on the low end of that average. Generally, if you qualify to run the race as a Filly - you are what is considered a "heavy" runner. The weight isn't standardized for what is considered heavy for women - but anything over 150lbs is usually a pretty safe bet. I start phasing my shoes out when I notice it is taking me longer to recover from a certain distance run that I have been running for awhile. If I'm lucky, I'll get about 200 miles out of a pair of running shoes.

You would probably get arrested if you tried to pull something out of your shorts.
