(And Why Can&#8217;t You &#8220;CONNECT&#8221; on Garmin Connect?)

If you&#8217;re a relatively new Garmin Forerunner user or have yet to experience the full effect of Garmin Connect (http://connect.garmin.com), this will blow your mind:
Aside from some cool analytics features for pace, time splits, max/min speed and elevation change &#8211; you can also find cycling and running routes via other Garmin Connect users.
From the Garmin Connect page click on the &#8220;Explore&#8221; tab. You will be taken to a search page where you can look up by keyword and location different activities from other Garmin Connect users. Filtering options include: activity, event type, distance and elevation.
It&#8217;s a very cool way to know what to expect when running a route (depending on notes + output). For example: I found a user who ran the the trail at Elysian Park &#8211; one I&#8217;ve been meaning to check out. After clicking on the route I found out that there was a decent elevation gain &#8211; and am now able to figure out alternate routes if the distance is not what I&#8217;m looking to do (this person ran a 5 mile route).
From the looks of it, you cannot &#8220;friend&#8221; or &#8220;connect&#8221; with other Garmin Connect users (ironic). It [...]]]></description>

Looking to seriously run (pun *totally* intended) L.A. via foursquare?
Here are some popular running routes with the minimum number of check-ins it will take you to have a chance at stealing its coveted crown (note: a lot of these may take a while). If you&#8217;re a badge or mayorship junkie, this will be a bit of added incentive to diversify your running route portfolio!
Happy running (and don&#8217;t forget to check-in before you take off from that starting line)!
1. Runyon Canyon &#8211; 27 check-ins
2. Hermosa Woodchip Trail &#8211; 44 check-ins
3. Griffith Park Trail &#8211; 32 check-ins
4. Santa Monica Stairs &#8211; 36 check-ins
5. Rose Bowl Loop &#8211; 26 check-ins
6. Silverlake Reservoir &#8211; 25 check-ins
7. Aviation Park &#8211; 26 check-ins
8. Ballona Creek Bike Path &#8211; 18 check-ins
9. LA River Bike Path &#8211; 17 check-ins
10. Lake Hollywood Reservoir &#8211; 12 check-ins
PS &#8211; If you are looking to battle some folks virtually here&#8217;s my Twitter List of LA-Runners (most are also on foursquare).

If you are tired of using the same run of the mill ways of finding running routes around your neighborhood (word of mouth, google, running clubs, etc.), several new tried and true routes are as easy to find as clicking through a popular social media outlet. Here are a few high traffic sites (which are non-running and sports specific) that you may have left untapped. All of these sites have proven to be good sources in my own search for new routes to romp through.
Yelp.com (http://yelp.com) &#8211; Traditionally known as a foodie or shopping junkie site, Yelp is also a good place to find local parks, routes, and trails for running enthusiasts. Once you happen upon an interesting reviewer with enthusiastic trail running reviews, you can follow them for more information and places to run. You can check out elite Yelpers in the topic section “Daily Runner’s Log” to get you started off on the right foot.
Foursquare (http://foursquare.com/) &#8211; For hardcore social media junkies / runners Foursquare is a good place to track down other runners by simply “checking in” where you run and looking at other runner suggestions for routes and tips on that particular location. Several trails around Griffith [...]]]></description>

Whether you are training for a race, or trying to keep a certain level of fitness with your running, the number one concern for most people is finding the time to do it. If you’re like me and have little to no time during the day to do a medium to long tempo run or otherwise, you may have to join what I like the call “The Afterhours Crew” or night runners, if you want to get technical.
&#160;
Night running is a great way to give yourself enough time to spend on your run, along with the added perk of not having the sun beat down on you. It also saves you the hassle of having to cut your route short so as not to be late for work. But, there’s also the added cost that running at night (especially in LA) isn’t exactly the safest thing in the world.
It’s important to make sure that you are keeping in mind good rules for general safety (reflective gear, phone, ID, letting someone know where you’re going, etc.) That being said, if you’re looking to join some of the creatures of the night for your training runs, here’s a list of a few tried and true running routes from and around various reaches of Los Angeles County that are good for starters:

Since Valentine&#8217;s Day falls on a Sunday (typically the day for a lot of long runs) why not take your running honey bunny on a romantic route in LA? What? You don&#8217;t believe there are any out there? Think again&#8230;
Venice Canals &#8211; nice secluded neighborhood, cute parks, gondolas in the water, you can even go for a boat ride after your run to relax!
Fisherman&#8217;s Village (Marina Del Rey) super quaint harbor that offers a view of Marina del Rey&#8217;s dominant feature as one of the largest man-made small boat harbors in the U.S., with 19 marinas with capacity for 5,300 boats. Not something you see as a feature at other beaches in Southern California. Plenty of bike paths, usually not too crowded.
Catalina Island Trail Running (Catalina/Avalon Loop) &#8211; the trailhead is inside the Wrigley Memorial and Botanical Gardens where you can view plants native to the Channel Islands. The course is on a wide, smooth dirt road, with views of Avalon and the Los Angeles Basin across the channel.
Griffith Observatory Trail Run &#8211; Griffith offers gorgeous views with California oak trees, wild sage, and 53 miles of hiking trails over chaparral covered hills.
Even though some of these trails are restricted [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m a trail runner / mountain goat before anything else. If you haven&#8217;t tried your hand at some off roading in Los Angeles &#8211; you *need* to check out these trails.

San Francisco is more than just another pretty face among the many in the Golden State. It&#8217;s also the home of Rice o&#8217; Roni, the Nike Women&#8217;s Marathon and the #1 Placeholder for Runner&#8217;s World 25 Best Running Cities in America. That being said, if you ever find yourself in SF make sure you check out these 10 places and make the most of your time there. For reals!

Crissy Field
One of the best places to run in San Francisco. Having wide open fields, you can run along a long and flat dirt path. And &#8211; awesome views of the Golden Gate Bridge!
The Presidio
This is San Francisco&#8217;s  national park covering over 1500 acres. This old military outpost is a great place to go for a nice quiet run.
Golden Gate Park
I love this place! Part of the NWM runs through GG Park. You can make your route as easy or as challenging as you like with a nearby total elevation change nearing 2000ft to below sea level out and backs.
Ocean Beach
This is another great place to run a path along the sand. If you want to come [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Walking in LA&#8230; Walking in LA&#8230; Nobody walks in LA.&#8221; &#8211; Missing Persons
I always find it odd that Los Angeles isn&#8217;t really known as a &#8220;running city&#8221; by any of the running magazines or popular sites online. Why not?! It&#8217;s home to some of the best world class races, great weather and several broken Hollywood dreams. Here&#8217;s a list of 10 places in the City of Angels that you absolutely need to run at least once before you die&#8230; seriously.

The Strand/Venice Canals 
I love Venice&#8230; it&#8217;s the grungy Hollywood of all the beach towns. Great place to run and people watch at the same time&#8230; always lots to see in Venice. (Watch out for bums.)
Santa Monica Stairs
Want to feel like Rocky but get your ass kicked? The Santa Monica Stairs are notorious for making grown men and sorority girls cry. It can get pretty crowded there so try making it between 5-6am.
Runyon Canyon Park
Here you will find A+B list celebrities, great city views (from Downtown to Hollywood) and some killer climbs. Also offers several routes at varying intensities for the weak at heart.
Rose Bowl Loop
The Rose Bowl [...]]]></description>
