Black Diamond HotWire Anodized Carabiner
The stainless steel wire gate on the HotWire operates as both a spring and a gate. Not only is the stainless steel gate stronger than aluminum gates, but it is also extremely resistant to the phenomenon known as "whiplash." Strong, ultralight and super clippable, the HotWire offers superb versatility for all types of climbing.

Nothing beats a HOTWIRE
Like I said, nothing beats a Hot wire. These are the best all around carabiners I've run across. I use them for all kinds of activities now, because they are the most dependable at opening and shutting without fail, and never snag on gear, ropes or clothing.

Training Tips
Heart monitors are useful for knowing when you are in the right zone for your training efforts. If you understand what your maximum heart rate is, you can set up your monitor to beep at you when you exceed the high or low range of your heart rate for the type of workout you are doing.
Cross training gives your body a chance to recover while still exercising. If yesterday has a hard run day up and down hills, then today's bicycle ride gives your aching knees a well deserved break.
Anaeroic threshold is when lactic acid starts to build up in your body as your muscles are not getting the oxygen they require. This threshold is typically expressed as a percentage of your VO2 max - the amount of oxygen per kilogram of weight that a person can use in converting fuel to energy. Elite athletes threshold might be as high as 90% of VO2 max.
Efficient running position allows you to run farther and faster. Keep the heel raise to a minimum, relax your upper body and hands, keep your upper body poised and quiet.
