Tools for XC

Need new running shoes. If you haven’t had new shoes in the last three months you need to invest in a new pair. The other thing that we have found helpful is to cinch up those laces on those fancy new shoes. Some athletes may need to pick up a pair of orthotics for arch support to put in the bottom of your shoes after you have taken the manufactutered insole out. These can help with shin splints, as well as sore calves…Talk to me if you want more info.

Water and plenty of it is a tool for XC runners as well. When most teens think of drinking water throughout the day, they think of sipping on one water bottle for the day. That is not going to be enough for you to replace the fluid you lose durning perspiration from workouts.
