Gear Review: FuelBelt Revenge R30 Review by Jim Clemens

Date: Thursday, December 13, 2012

Gear Review: FuelBelt Revenge R30 Review by Jim Clemens

Product: Revenge R30

Technology Information: The Revenge® Series from FuelBelt is touted as a breakthrough in hydration belt design given the one handed entry and exit. Instead of a “sleeve” for the bottles, the R30 sports molded holsters that hold on to the bottles preventing slipping and loose bottles. This new design allows for a super lightweight hydration belt. The R30 has 3 holsters and there is also a 2 holster version, the R20. Both the R20 and R30 come with one pocket but additional add-on pockets can also be purchased.

Pricing: $43.95 for an R30 from www.fuelbelt.com or locally at Fleet Feet Sports Huntsville

Impressions: After owning and liking a particular hydration belt for many years, the time had come to buy a new one. Upon investigating all options and looking at several models in running stores, the FuelBelt line of belts quickly rose to the top. The features I was most interested in were:
  • Lightweight
  • Tight fitting without having to cinch it so tight as to cut off circulation to my lower extremities
  • Comfort
  • Minimal amount of bouncing when filled
  • Storage capacity for liquids and quantity of energy gels that could be carried
The R30 met each of my criteria so I decided to give it a whirl. I had some concerns about the custom fit belts that can be purchased (2 bottle and 4 bottle) so I went with the “one size fits all” Velcro belt. Let me say that I have never been as pleased with a hydration belt as I have with the R30! The bottles stay put in the belt with no bouncing yet they are easy to remove and to put back in even when running. The belt appears to be only lightly padded when looking at it but that is the beauty of keeping the belt lightweight – I can honestly say I have never had to “think about” the belt while running which is a great thing! The belt is extremely comfortable and once you have the belt adjusted to your liking, rarely do you need to re-adjust on the fly.

I chose the 3 bottle model which provides up to 21 ounces of fluids, enough for me for even my longest of long runs. The pocket carries up to 4 (tightly packed) energy gel packets which also are enough for me.

Suggestion: Many runners prefer the hand held bottles; however, if you are like me and prefer the hydration belts for your long runs, you definitely need to check out the FuelBelt line of products. Depending on how many energy gels, keys, and other items you want to carry in the belt, you might look into also purchasing an extra pocket which can be slid onto the belt.

Summary: FuelBelt is one of the leading providers of hydration belts and that will surely continue given their high-quality, lightweight, comfortable designs. The Revenge® R30 is the perfect belt for my medium length and long runs, providing all of the liquids and gels I need during even the hottest of summer days that Alabama has to offer while at the same time fitting so comfortably and being so light as to feel like I am not even wearing one.

Jim joined the Fleet Feet Racing Team of Huntsville in 2012 but started running when he was 9 years old. He a fantastic resume of personal bests, including a 2:38 marathon in 2003.  Along with his wife Elizabeth, they have two children Matthw and Rebekah and live in Madison, Alabama.  Jim earned two Bachelor's degrees from Bowling Green and his Master's degree in Science from Clemson.  His team biography can be found here.

Nike Fleet Feet Rocket City Marathon Pace Team

2012 Nike Fleet Feet Rocket City Marathon Pace Team

After hearing some great comments of gratitude from runners and other volunteers how impressed they were with the pace team we assembled this year, I thought I would share the end results.

The teams of runners pacing 3:15, 3:25, 3:30, 3:35, 3:40, 3:45 and 3:55 were an average of 27 seconds under the goal time.  The teams are instructed to run even pace, and finish no faster than 1 minute under their goal time.  Dana Overton and first time pacer Lauren Smith were the closest, running just 6 seconds under.  Rick and Katie Maehlmann wrapped up their flawless pacing duties with a kiss at the finish line.

While not many runners stayed with the pace group leaders in the second half, the pacers stayed even through to the end. This was tough to "leave" the runners as they slowed, but other runners (ahead) were also counting on the pacers to come in right on pace.   We did miss our mark at 4:00 hours and just slightly at 4:25, but both groups did not have any runners with them at the very end when they slowed and I did hear of any complaints.

This year we had 8 new pacers as Erik Debolt, Tim Pitt, Lauren Smith, Paige Dorr, Blake Thompson, Sarah Coleman, Cary Long and Patti Holmes joined our ranks.

I am very proud of this team as running even pace for 26.2 miles doesn't just happen on race day; it takes practice and months of training.  No matter what the ability of the athlete, running 26.2 miles on even splits, especially on a day that had tough head winds from miles to 10-15 and then heat and humidity in the second half is nothing short of a monumental effort.  If you think it is easy, just try to do it for 5 or 10 miles, let alone 26.

Many of these pacers have already asked to be involved next year. I think they felt this personally rewarding to put others needs and goals above their own.  I am excited for 2013 as we will start our 4th year of pacing at Rocket City Marathon.

Gear Review: Swiftwick Sock Review by Timothy Pitt

Date: Thursday, November 29, 2012

Gear Review: Swiftwick Sock Review by Timothy Pitt

Product: Aspire Twelve Details: Made from synthetic olefin materials for compression heaven

Technology Information: The Aspire Twelve is made with many of Swiftwick’s signature technologies to include: seamless toe, olefin footbed, built in arch support, and their signature double welt compression cuff to make sure it stays up on the leg forever.

Pricing: $34.99 for a pair of the Twelve (full calf height) from www.swiftwick.com or locally at Fleet Feet Sports Huntsville

Impressions: These socks are by far my favorite to wear for ANY road race, from 5k’s to marathons and every distance in between. These socks provide a competitive edge just short of super powers. Well, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but the benefits of compression are scientifically indisputable ! Compression increases blood flow, which helps during a race and improves recovery afterwards. I love it when I get asked about these socks at races!! The typical question is, “do you like them?” And my typical response is, “YES!! They keep the meat on the bones!!” It sounds silly, but that compression is comforting and I definitely feel like they reduce the chance of incurring a muscle injury or strain. I have tried other brands of compression socks, but these are the only ones that never slide down my calves.

Suggestion: I have shared my passion for these socks with many other runners. My suggestion to them when they get their first pair of Aspire Twelves is to learn the easiest way to get them on!! Max King has an awesome demonstration video on youtube!! Just follow this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gloLOcfqTmg

Summary: Swiftwick builds the best full calf length compression sock on the market. Do your lower legs a favor and buy a pair to try out. After you run or race feel free to keep the sock on after to speed up the recovery process or put on a clean pair later.

Tim started running in the  spring of 2006 to get fit and healthy and since then has run every distance from 5km to 50km.  He is heavily involved with Fleet Feet Racing and in the promotion of running in his hometown of Arab, Alabama where he holds the distinction of being the fastest man in Arab.  His team biography can be found here.
