I live in an apartment building in the city. And I don't really have a place to let my running shoes/clothes air out. As a result, my apartment is starting to smell like an f-ing locker room. I know there are a lot of NYC people on this board...any city dwellers have suggestions on how to deal with this problem?
I live in a small apartment in SF. I just put my shoes and socks out on the fire escape. With stinky shorts and shirts, I rinse them in the sink beofre putting them in the hamper, and wrap them up with the towel after I shower. I do laundry twice a week to keep the stuff from festering too long.
try sprinkling garlic all over everything. i can promise you it will no longer smell like a locker room
As far as shows go, I don't know how to stop that problem yet. But I was having problems with my clothes stinking the whole place up. Basically, I just started bringing me clothes with me into the shower after my run, kinda doing an instant half-assed job of washing them. Now they aren't dripping in sweat and smell just fine.

Buy a house.
Maybe that's not an option right now. Bling Bling$$$$
You could dump shoes at your neighbors. Or get a roommate and hide your stuff in his/her room.
That's what my college roommate used to do. Until I beat the living crap out of him.
Try to get the stink off the hang-lo
Try rinsing your clothes in the sink until you are able to wash them...
My wife lets me have one room. One room only. Every other room is immaculate. But this one is perfect. I count 8 pairs of training shoes (only three current) 6 old TFN News...The original Jim Fixx book, Marathoning by Bill Rodgers...Murphy's book on Edelen...all opened tovarious pages laying on the floor. Running stuff drying on the door knob and the smell!
Guitars, amps and cords laying all over the floor..Posters of Duane Allman and Townes Van Zandt on the wall held on to the wall paper with just globs of tape (wait till "the warden" sees that!)
My own room.
