Silvretta Pure Binding
The Silvretta Pure Alpine Touring Binding is probably a result of the nasty uphills in the Alps that Silvretta engineers have to climb. The Pure is mind-bendingly light at 1200 grams (2.7 lbs) and has a unique pivot point mounted under the ball of the foot for a natural, comfortable stride with less moving parts. In keeping with its easy touring goal, the Pure's dual position climbing bar is easy to adjust with a ski pole on the fly. Crampons are available, and can be used simultaneously with the included 90mm brake. The 35mm rise of the Pure lets you crank over onto your edges and give the hill hell, which it deserves for making you climb it.

Training Tips
If you consume 100 calories a day more than you need, you will gain about 10 pounds in a year. A reasonable combination of diet and exercise can help control your weight. The key is to balance your caloric intake with the amount of exercise.
You can increase your maximum oxygen consumption by approximately 15% when you work out three times a week for at least 30 minutes at 70% of your maximum heart rate.
Low weight, high rep circuit training combines the best of both worlds: aerobic and anaerobic training. Keeping the rest time in between high repeats low excercises like bench press, leg presses, inclined sit-ups, and upright rows is the key to maximum benefits.
As a long distance runner, a gradual increase in distance each week will allow you to build a solid areobic base. Distance increase should be no more than 10% of the previous week's distance.
