The Best Way to Wash Workout Clothes

5/1/2023

 
If  you’re training for a Summer or Fall Race, welcome to ​what I call Laundry Season. 
​
Sure, some people call this time of year Spring, but here in Florida it’s the start of the sweatiest time of the year. And sweaty season means more laundry.

I'm all in for the Palm Beaches Marathon Weekend, which means I'll be running a lot during Laundry Season. That’s why it seems like a good time to share these tips. If you’re like me, you want your active wear to smell fresh and last a long time.
​

Keep reading for performance wear laundry tips that work for me. 

3 Tips for Washing Workout Gear. Drawing of a pile of workout clothes in a laundry basket.
Training this Summer? Follow these tips to prevent problems with your expensive activewear. (Image: ThisOldRunner)

1. Don't Let Your Running Gear Grow Bacteria & Mold

Did you know that smelly bacteria and mold grow faster in a pile of sweaty clothes? It's true! Bacteria loves living in damp synthetic material.

It's hard to wash workout clothes immediately, but it's easy to reduce the chance of mold, bacteria and funky smells.

If you can't wash right away, hang your sweaty clothes on your shower curtain rod, a hook or outside after you workout. Let your clothes fully air dry cuts down on the growth of bacteria. And remember, bacteria = smell.

If you can't wash workout clothes right away, hang them over the shower rod or outside to dry. This will help eliminate smells and bacteria until you can launder them. (Image: ThisOldRunner)

2. Ditch the Fabric Softener and Dryer Sheets

It might seem like a good idea to add fabric softener to the wash, but it's never a good idea to use it on your expensive performance wear.

Fabric softener is absorbed into synthetic fabrics. The residue builds up making it harder and harder to get your gear clean. Instead of helping, it makes odors and sweat cling to your clothes.

This advice goes for both liquid fabric softener and dryer sheets. Just don't do it.

3. Air Dry Your Performance Gear

Just like hot water can ruin the longevity of your gym clothes, so can hot air. It breaks down the elastic and makes colors fade. Heat also can bake the stink into fabric.

Don't EVER dry your workout gear on high heat in the dryer. Instead, consider air drying your clothes outside on a line, inside on hangers or a clothes rack.

If that isn't an option, use air dry or the lowest heat setting on your machine.  

Air drying is the best way to preserve the elasticity and colors in your sportswear.

More Tips for Taking Care of Your Running Clothes

Those are my top 3, easy-to-do tips. If you want more, try the suggestions below. I've used them all and my workout gear definitely smells good and lasts a lot longer.
​
Good luck, and Happy Laundry Season!

Want more ideas? We've got you covered with more tips below. (Image: ThisOldRunner)
Wash Your Clothes Inside Out
Washing clothes inside-out helps protect the color, and gives your activewear a deeper clean. Think about it — the inside of your clothes is where the real dirt happens. Armpit stains, body bacteria, etc. Turning things inside out before washing puts the bacteria in direct contact with water and detergent.
​

Pre-soak to Eliminate Odors 
You can use a commercial oxidizing additive or white vinegar to help get out hearty smells.

Presoaking your clothes for an hour or more in half a cup of white vinegar mixed with cold water helps remove stinky odors as well as break down sweat stains. You can use the presoak cycle on your machine, or do it in a sink or bathtub.

Another option is to add an oxidizing agent like Oxiclean in your washing machine load. I've been doing this forever. It's easy and definitely gets the stink out.
​

Use a Sports-Specific Detergent
Detergents made especially for activewear are specially formulated for moisture-wicking fabrics. They're made to fight odor and deep clean synthetic materials. They're definitely worth trying on your expensive performance outfits.

Just remember, with detergent more doesn't equal better. Adding extra detergent makes it harder for your washing machine to rinse out your clothes. Soap buildup acts like a sweat and odor magnet. Too much soap is a bad idea.

Elevate Your #MedalMonday Celebration with Handcrafted Coasters

3/13/2023

 
Race medals are festive, fun and fantastic. And don't forget meaningful.

Ask anyone who trained hard and finished a race — their finisher medal is more than a participation award. It's a symbol of making a plan, sticking to it, and accomplishing a goal! 

That's why I think you may be interested in a new way to display your precious medals.

Check out how Joe at Handcrafted Coasters turned my inaugural St. Pete Run Fest medal into a useful piece of art!

Disclaimer: I received a custom Handcrafted Coaster to review as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about being a BibRave Pro, and check out BibRave.com to review, find, and write race reviews

Before and After

I chose to have my St. Pete Run Fest Half Marathon medal made into a coaster because it's from the inaugural running of a favorite local race.

​The medal is colorful and fun. I think it will be perfect in a set of coasters with other local races. (I'm looking at you Best Damn Race, St Pete Beach Classic and Gasparilla!)

Let's look at what happens when you order from Handcrafted Coasters.

Here's the original finisher medal from 2017 - the inaugural running of the St Pete Half Marathon.

Here's my race medal inlaid into mahogany wood as a GORGEOUS coaster. I love it!

Sending Your Medal to Handcrafted Coasters

​It's an easy process. I mailed my medal to Joe and 3-4 weeks later, I received my coaster.

1. First, order your coasters online at Handcrafted Coasters. You'll have a choice of 6 wood types.

​The standard size coaster is 4 1/4" square and 3/8" thick.

Larger sizes are available via special order for an additional charge.

Say hello to Joe! He's the craftsman behind Handcrafted Coasters.
2. After you complete your online order, Handcrafted Coasters sends you a pre-addressed padded envelope. It includes tissue paper to wrap your medal for extra protection during shipping.

​Remove the lanyard from your medal before shipping. If you forget, Handcrafted Coasters will remove it and return it with your completed coaster.

You pay the postage to send in your medal because the cost depends on the weight, size and carrier. It cost me about $5 via USPS to send my medal to Joe. (They send it back for free.)

What Happens Next?

What happens when your medal arrives at Joe's workshop? Joe gets to work.

​He prepares your wood choice by cutting and planing rough wood. Then he sands it, cuts it to coaster size, and sands it again. These coasters truly are HAND CRAFTED!

Here Joe is cutting wood to size for coasters. You can choose from six different wood types, which are naturally finished to enhance the grains and color of the material. ​

Here Joe's sanding the cut to size coasters before routing.

Routing the Wood

Joe carefully measures every aspect of your medal. He inputs the measurements into software that works with his woodworking equipment.

Next, Joe carves your medal into the wood you selected.

The router is working it's magic. Here's the start of the shape of a medal being carved into the wood.

Wow! Can you see my future coaster?! In this photo the initial router work is done.

Fine-tuning the Fit

Joe places the medal into the cut out wood and double and triple checks the fit. When he's happy with it, he moves on to the next step.

How cool is this? Side note: my original medal had moving feet on the pelican. Joe tried a couple of options to keep them, but it wasn't possible. I have to say I love it like this! I mention this as something to keep in mind when choosing which medal you want to use.

Epoxy Pour

Once the medal is inlaid in the wood it's time to seal it in with a protective coating of epoxy.

The epoxy permanently seals your medal in the wood, making it water and heat resistant. Heat resistance level isn't suitable for very high temperatures. For example, you can use it for coffee, tea and soup; but don't use it as hot dish trivet.

The back of each coaster is sprayed with lacquer for durability and strength. Cork pads are added to protect any surface you place your coaster on.

The photo below shows an assortment of medals after the epoxy pour. Check out mine, second from the right on the bottom row.

Removing Air Bubbles from the Epoxy

Joe uses a torch to coax the air bubbles out of the epoxy to create a clear, smooth finish.

Cheers to Your Finished Coaster

After your coaster is cured, it's returned to you. I received my coaster 3-4 weeks after sending in my medal. 

Handcrafted Coasters returns your coaster in a secure envelope or box at no charge. 
Domestic shipping is free.

Pull it out of the package and enjoy your new drink pedestal! I'll be back to show you how I use my new treasure!

Review and Discount Code for  SaveMySole® Foot Rescue Cream

12/14/2022

 
​Disclaimer: I received a complimentary jar of Save My Sole Foot Rescue Cream to review. Thoughts and opinions are mine.

Save My Sole® Gives Runners' Happy Feet

Like most runners, my feet take a beating. It seems like the first few weeks of every new training cycle results in dry skin and cracked heels.

​Lucky for me, Peak10Skin® sent me a sample of their Save My Sole® Foot Rescue Cream as I began my Gasparilla Distance Classic training last month.

Keep reading to see how I've been using Save My Sole® to repair my feet. I've gotta say, I'm really (really!) happy with the results after just a few weeks.

How I Use Save My Sole® Foot Rescue Cream

Step 1: Wash My Feet

This is a no-brainer.

​You want to apply to clean skin so you get the full benefit of the moisturizing cream.

​I usually apply after a shower. But, of course you can wash your feet anytime and apply as needed.

Step 2: Exfoliate Dead Skin

Picture

I keep my pumice stone in the shower so it's easy to buff my feet once a week. I've done this for years and years.

But now, after exfoliating, I put on Save My Sole® Foot Rescue Cream. That's new for me and it's making a serious difference.
​
The cream has glycerin and shea butter in it, so it soothes and softens my feet while creating a protective barrier. 
The shea butter has lots of Vitamin E which helps to lock in moisture and hydration to repair skin. Other active ingredients are eucalyptus, menthol, and limonene. These ingredients  offer anti-inflammatory benefits that help to soothe tired, sore feet. 

Reminder: Be gentle when exfoliating. If you scrub too hard you'll damage your skin. And, don't use a pumice stone every day. Once or twice a week is good.

Step 3: Apply Save My Sole® Foot Rescue Cream

Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! When my feet are ready, I apply Save My Sole by massaging it into my feet with a circular motion. A massage always feels good and helps with circulation.

I put Save My Sole® on my entire foot, including between my toes.

​Side note: the eucalyptus, limonene and menthol in the lotion make it smell so good. It was extra soothing to me during a recent sinus infection.

Step 4: Wear Socks to Seal in the Moisture 

Seal in that Moisture! Once I've washed, exfoliated and massaged the cream into my feet, I slip into a pair of socks. This helps seal the moisture into my skin, and prevents me from leaving shea butter footprints all over the house.

At night, I may keep the socks on overnight for maximum moisturizing. Doing this made a huge difference in just one application.

​Lately, I've been wearing holiday socks after moisturizing my feet!
Picture

My Recommendations

The directions on the jar suggest applying Save My Sole® Foot Repair Cream twice a day. If you can do that, go for it.

I'm more consistent with a nighttime application since I can put on socks and relax afterwards. If I'm headed out for a run, I'll apply in the morning since I'll be wearing socks.

I noticed improved skin right away, so I'm good now with once a day. Your choice will depend on the condition of your feet.

Here's another tip! ​
Don't stop at your feet. I've been putting Save My Sole® on my elbows and shins, too. It does a great job of moisturizing all my rough skin. A little goes a long way when you massage it in. (BTW, Peak10Skin® offers a hand and foot cream combo!)
​
I am really happy with the results. ​My feet are happy, and my skin hasn't cracked as I add extra miles to my running routine. I definitely recommend this cream!

The New Convertible Mitten Hoodie by Turtle Gloves is Perfect for Runners

12/12/2022

 

This Hoodie Keeps You Warm...and Cool

We've all been there — freezing cold at the start of a run or race, then overheated after a mile or two. Then, a few miles later when the sun disappears, you're cold all over again. 

​Or, how about this scenario: You start your race wearing gloves/mittens. After a while you stuff them in a pocket during the race. After you finish your race, you discover you only have ONE mitten! The other one fell out of your pocket somewhere out there on the race course.

​Yeah, that's happened to me a couple of times. And I've seen plenty of other people's lost gloves and mittens while racing.

That won't EVER happen if you wear the new performance Turtle Gloves Mitten Hoodie. This mitten hoodie can be as flexible as the weather and your body temperature.

​Keep reading to see how they work.

#TurtleGloves Mitten Hoodie has built-in convertible mittens to keep your hands warm while you're running or doing other outside things. #TurtleGlovesBR

​Disclaimer: I received a Turtle Gloves Mitten Hoodie to review as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about being a BibRave Pro, and check out BibRave.com to review, find, and write race reviews!

Turtle Gloves Mittens are Built-in to the Hoodie

Check out the photo below. My mittens are connected to the sleeves of my hoodie! But this system is waaaayyyyy better than the old safety pin and string method we used as kids.

The conversion mittens are sewn into the cuff on the sleeve. But the beauty part is that they're only sewn on one side. That makes it easy to slip in and out of them.  

And because the mittens/fingerless gloves are attached, you'll never lose them!
Picture
Wearing the full on mittens is easy. Just slip your hand into them and go!

The Mittens Convert into Fingerless Gloves

If you don't need the full mitten treatment, fold the mitten back and wear the fingerless gloves. The fingerless gloves are a long length to give you warmth + flexibility. Of course, you can fold them back again to create short fingerless gloves, if that works better for you.
Picture
Fold back the mittens for the fingerless glove option. This lets you use your fingers but keeps your hands warm.

Don't Need Mittens? No Problem

The best part of the Turtle Glove Mitten Hoodie is you can tuck away the mittens when you don't need them. Now, you're wearing a traditional hoodie — but you're always ready if the temperature drops!

This lightweight hoodie also has two deep fleece-lined front pockets. I wouldn't run with my phone in them, but they're good for carrying fuel.
Picture
Fold your mittens back into the sleeve and you have a regular sleeve. Did I mention there are two fleece-lined front pockets, too? They're the perfect place to stash something like race fuel.

It's Easy to Check Your Stats on the Run

One of the things I like best about this design is the watch window. When I'm bundled up, I don't want to peel back my gloves and layers to check my pace.

​Because the gloves are sewn onto the sleeve cuff on the underside, it's easy to view your watch without struggling to push back layers.
Picture
Bonus points for the watch view! Just push the cuff back to check your pace or BP while you're running. There's a watch gusset on BOTH wrists!

A Few More Design Details

Right now you can get the lightweight performance pullover Turtle Gloves Mitten Hoodie in gray or light green. (Sorry, the orange is sold out!)

​This model has the Watch Gusset on both outside wrists for viewing GPS watch, Health ID bracelets or inspiration bracelets. You can wear the outside cuff over your watch to keep batteries warm, or fold it up for continuous viewing.

Just like the hood, you now have mittens ready when you need them. 

This performance hoodie fabric is made for fitness. The wicking material provides breathable comfort. Wear it alone or as a base layer. The hoodie is designed with extra length and roominess so you can wear it over other layers.

​The body, front pockets, hood and mittens are all lined with lightweight fleece for cozy comfort.​

Overall, I think this hoodie is a winner!

I Have a Turtle Gloves Discount Code for You
