This is my daily chat with #RunBlogRun viewers and track fans on all things track & field!
This is Coffee with Larry for Thursday, August 15, 2024.
Coffee with Larry is sponsored by RunBlogRun’s cooling technology partner, OMIUS (www.omius.io).

Special thanks to Jay Weber and Mike Rouse for showing me the OMIUS technology.

It’s simple. You add cooling pods into a hat, visor, or headband, soak them with water, and add water every 30-45 minutes during your workout or race. It really works; I have used it.
