Our Winter Workout Must Haves For November

Ever since my first bout with runner's knee (after an ill-advised decision to ramp up my mileage too quickly while training for my first marathon), I've been a fan of KT Tape. It offers support for my knee where I need it most; I never run a half- or full marathon without it. These KT Tape ProX Patches ($20 for 15) are a quick way for me to get the benefits of taping without worrying about cutting and measuring. The plus-shaped patches are easy to grab when I'm going out the door. I use them on the sides of my knee for extra support during longer runs or as pain relief for calf cramps, but you can pretty much use them anywhere and also add regular KT tape strips for more support.
