dragon, what are your 5k times? 5k is an even better indicator of overall strength.

I'm pretty linear when it comes to running, 160 BPM HR, about 32 min 5ks at 1.5 incline.
My best 10k was a MEC race, in richmond where it was all flat, 55mins.

Also any recommended underwear to stop chaffing?

The best cushioning shoes I have ever ran in are Adidas Energy Boost ESM (on my third pair of running shoes), techfit + their boost foam is like running on clouds. They're a little soft for some but they're so comfortable, I ran a half marathon for fun in them last year because nothing hurt. This was on cushy track material too.
With those shoes, I pair it up with merino wool socks made by point6. The extra cushioning from the socks really help with blisters. As long as your feet don't get too hot. Bottom foot blisters anyways. For side foot blisters, I find that double layer socks are the best. They have them at MEC.

All this running sub 50 time, and injury talk is going to make me paranoid. lol. But damn, I agree with acro, it's addicting!
