Swix RCO53 PCP Comp Composite Carbon Pole - 1 pair
The Swix RCO53 PCP Comp Compsite Carbon Pole shines when weight is a factor, but so is durability. Made from Swix's CT 5, a 20/80 mix of carbon fiber and fiberglass, the Comp Composite Carbon Pole is significantly stronger than its full carbon cousins, and significantly lighter than an aluminum pole. Swix's Pro Fit strap ensures that every stroke with the pole transmits maximum power, and keeps the pole in your hand even if you take a digger. The Comp Composite Carbon Pole will give high school racers the light weight they demand with the durability they need.
$83.95 
Lightweight
I bought these poles for my wife, and they feel a little lighter than the aluminum poles. This is a great deal, but it would be nicer with the cork grip instead of heavy plastic grips.

Training Tips
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.
When buying a new pair of running shoes, bring your old ones with you. You will get a better fit if you know if you supinate or pronate.
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.
