Salomon Essential Sport Helmet - Men's
The Salomon Essential Sport helmet is a lightweight helmet designed with riders' craniums in mind. The Essential is well ventilated, so you won't have to deal with a sweaty noggin. Internal channels ensure that the air actually flows, instead of stagnating, which is gross and bad. Should you find yourself a bit warm, simply remove the ear pads, and really get the air flowing. And if things get a bit chilly, vent plugs keep your heat inside the brain bucket. Since you wear your helmet every day, Salomon made the one-piece liner removable and washable, so you can avoid the mid-season funk. Salomon's unique goggle attachment system is easy to operate and keeps your strap in place.

This helmet is ideal. Low profile look (doesn't look like a bubble on your head), solid air vent controls, perfect goggle band holder, and great removable earpieces and inside layer. For someone like me who's just made the switch from 26 years of not wearing a helmet, this one has made the transition a no-brainer.

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.
