As I racked up the miles, I soon found out how much other things I needed to go run. A GPS watch, a fuel belt and/or a hand-held water bottle, GU gels or some other type of food/fuel, headlamp and other safety running gear. And the list goes on and on.
It was during training for my first marathon I learned runners sometimes chaff.
Talk about a painful lesson. Not fun at all.
I had heard stories of male runners getting bloody nipples, but to be honest, I thought it would never happen to me.
Sad to say, I was wrong.
Consequently, I sought ways to prevent this from happening again.
