Grabbed most of this over the past year through trial and painful error so you can skip the guessing.

You know that moment when your knees start aching but your running shoes still look fine on the outside? Dropping $150 on new shoes every few months isn't realistic for most of us. I spent way too long running on dead cushioning before I figured out which inserts actually bring shoes back to life.

Took me three pairs of ruined knees to get this list right so you don't have to repeat my mistakes.

Hi, I'm Jorge from Surf Side Tours. People ask me how I train. Honestly, I don't! I don't go to a gym; I practice. I surf the beaches of Surf City and hike to waterfalls like El Callejon del Diablo, a challenging 10 km canyon with river crossings, waterfall climbs and natural pools. The ocean and the trail are my gym. This is the gear that keeps those days safe and fun, plus a few simple things to stay ready when the waves are flat. My tip: the best training for surfing is more surfing, so paddle out as often as you can. What's your gym, the ocean or the mountain? Tell me in the comments!

I train early because once the day starts, there’s always something else to do. I’m not naturally excited when that alarm goes off though. These are the little things that make getting up, getting out the door and having a decent workout much easier for me.
