Kokatat Super Breeze Paddling Jacket - Womens
The Kokatat Super Breeze Paddling Jacket for women is a major step up from other entry-level paddling jackets in both waterproofness and breathability. With a narrower cut through the shoulders and a shorter sleeve and torso length, this jacket is built with you in mind. Retain your freedom of movement so you can paddle all day without your jacket getting in the way. Kokatat's Super Breeze's shell is made from strong, beefy Taslan nylon with a DWR treatment, and has a urethane coating and factory-sealed seams for superb waterproof protection. The coating allows moisture vapor to pass to the outside of the garment so your perspiration can escape instead of glomming the jacket to your skin. All this translates to immersibility, wet flex protection, and a measure of breathability unheard of in paddling jackets of yesteryear. The Super Breeze also features a zippered mesh chest pocket for easy access to sunscreen and food lest you become a sea prune.

Great jacket
Great jacket fitted for a woman. Like the changed neck band, much more comfortable than the old styles. Highly recommend this jacket-great over a tshirt or layers for warmth.

Training Tips
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.
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.
