Ok, maybe Milwaukee isn't really a "foreign" city but it is certainly different than Chicago. I once joggled their marathon, and while I really enjoyed the free-flowing kegs of beer at the end of the race, there could've been a…
In Chicago, summer brings hot and muggy days which will make any joggler thirsty. Did you know that runners lose between 6 and 12 oz of fluids every 20 minutes of running? Jogglers lose even more because of the added…
There was a question the other day at the IJA Joggler's forum about official rules of joggling. Since there is no official "joggler circuit" or "joggler league" there really aren't any official rules. But if you are interested in trying…
