This is my daily chat with #RunBlogRun viewers and track fans on all things track & field!
This is for Tuesday, September 3, 2024.
Coffee with Larry is sponsored by OMIUS, the maker of cooling technology used in hats, visors, and headbands. Using OMIUS cooling pods by inserting them in the hat, visors, or
headbands, and adding water to the pods every 30-45 minutes keeps the cooling effect (think how sweat works).
Omius is the official cooling technology partner of RunBlogRun
Sifan Hassan used the headband in the Paris Olympic marathon, where she won. Bashir Abdi used the headband in the Men’s Marathon, where he took silver.
