HYDRATION
It's important to hydrate before, during and after longer runs & walks. If you are running an hour or more, it is even better to drink a carbohydrate drink rich in electrolytes (sodium, potassium & magnesium), which maximize hydration and helps restore body fluids. You should drink 1 to 2 "big glups" of liquid about every 10-15 minutes during a long run. |

SOCKS...Why not cotton?
- Evaporation of moisture from cotton is 10 times slower than from other fibers.
- Cotton breaks down, becomes wet and abrasive - this causes blisters.
- Acrylic wicks moisture away from the foot.
- Socks with CoolMax® provides excellent blister protection while keeping you comfortably cool.

The truth is, and it will probably surprise you, it takes about ten years to build your strength, speed and endurance to its fullest potential in running --- no matter what the starting age. |
