In these hot summer months, I recommend bringing a little bit extra water. At the very least, 1 bottle per hour with electrolytes. |

Your best bet for track workouts is to know your VDOT values. Knowing your VDOT will help establish your times on your intervals. |

Product Review: I Love my new Shoes: Pearl Izumi Streak: And the off road equivilant: Peak XC. What I love about them is there is no support. My feet are working the way they are supposed to work. I can feel the muscles of my lower legs get stronger. As for the trail runner, I am truly able to feel all the terrain. I was training off road, very rough terrain, out for a 90 minute run. I will say, these are both racers. The Streaks I would wear to train and race in. The Peak XC, as much as I loved them, my ankles, which are strong, did turn a few times when I wasn't careful. So I would keep these as racing specific shoes. |

While competing at altitude, it's important to eat even when you don't feel hungry. The mechanism in the brain that tell us we are hungry gets shunted while performing at altitude. Every hour on the hour, 60-120 g of carboyhydrates depending on the duration. I suggest protein every third hour. |
