This is my daily chat with #RunBlogRun viewers and track fans on all things track & field!
This is Coffee with Larry for Wednesday, August 7, 2024.
Coffee with Larry is sponsored by OMIUS, the cooling technology partner of RunBlogRun !
OMIUS (www.Omius.io) provides cooling technology in a hat, visor and head band.
Simple to use, add cooling cubes to your hat or visor, spray some water on the cubes and go to your workout. Add water every 30-45 minutes to keep you cool! The technology works like sweat in the human body. www.OMIUS.IO! #keepcool
