Their is obviously a big demand for flashy gear that will inspire people to keep working out. That said, we all know that doesn't happen. Just from the standpoint of how to become a better runner, I think a lot of people get caught up in the expansion packs rather than the main game.<br /><br /><br />As for the nausea and dizziness, that's never a fun feeling. Are you breathing okay? Posture? Too fast? Once it gets above 65, I need water after around 10 miles. When I used to do Bikram yoga, and I got dizzy and nausea, it was explained as improper breathing, but we panic thinking our body wanted water. <br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you for the feedback!!Machomoconoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637598219370719812.post-57211641608878309602013-04-25T20:14:24.104-05:002013-04-25T20:14:24.104-05:00I think many of the products available do provide ...I think many of the products available do provide benefits to users. Are they all needs? Probably not. If you're happy with what you've got - great. If you are finishing your long runs and then suffering nausea and dizziness - try fuelling during your run with one of the products out there (I could be speaking from experience).

Those are overloaded with gear, gadgets, and gimmicks. I think running is very simplified and you'll find more people telling you "No, you don't need a water bottle belt for a 5K". I think it comes naturally because of the sport of running itself. Just you and your feet.<br /><br />Shoes may be the only thing beginners could spend too much on.. it's important to stress that you need to figure out your arch and your step and pick the shoe that's made for it. (ie, goto a local running store and ask advice)<br /><br />However, where I do think there is info overload is running and diet plans. "Stretch before every run!" Okay so you stretch for six months. Then, you find a new link that says not to stretch.. or you read the seventh iteration of an interval training plan and well you heard really good things about that one plan that's totally different in week three.. it can be overwhelming at first. For blogs, having a simple, easy to find intro plan for beginner runners is ideal.
