G3 AviTECH Shovel
The G3 AviTECH shovel brings shovel technology up to date. G3 has re-engineered the reliable aluminum shovel design to create an innovative, light, strong, more durable shovel for backcountry travelers and industry professionals. Heat treating the technical aluminum connector tube and blade after TIG welding relieves residual stresses and produces a stronger shaft to blade interface. The AviTECH shovel is easily adapted to the day's anticipated use by selecting from the 3 in 1 configuration. The powerful D-grip handle has stash pocket and a unique ice axe loop attachment. –Vendor

Bomber !
Super pleased with this shovel. I am impressed on the durabilty, I have pryed, chipped and even dug out my car, and the thing still looks like new. I like the fact that if the lower shaft breaks you can use the upper shaft in the blade. Bomber stuff as you can expect from the g3 folks.
G3 Backcountry shovel
If you're considering buying a shovel, I'd pick up the G3. Well built, sturdy blade and a big D molded grip....makes handling with gloves or mitts easy.

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.
