Better known for its heart rate monitoring software, Polar also now has some solid GPS training devices. The RCX3 is a great watch loaded with features. One feature is that the watch gives training tips and encouraging comments immediately following your workout.
Zensah has developed the best compression leg sleeves using a special knitting process and fabric unique to their leg sleeves. The Zensah compression leg sleeves are made with gradient compression which provides wide ribbing in the front for shin support and tight ribbing in the back for calf support.
The 5K, a formidable run to any athlete, it is commonly run by high-school cross country runners, but that distance is popular to many local public races. It may seem short or long depending on how far you run or how fast you race. Whatever the case may be the 5K is a challenging race that takes some strategy.
Most runners more than likely spend most of their training hours on the roads or trails by themselves. But, is that really what we prefer? What is actually better for us if we want to improve our running times? We have all been in the position of putting our daily run off until late in the day, then end up too tired and not wanting to lace on the shoes. This is when the power of the group comes in to make us accountable. No sooner do we start running with others that we find ourselves working off their energy and motivation.

I am sure many of us have had some sort of foot pain from the relentless pounding we put on the roads, trails and more. The feet are the foundation for our entire skeletal system and without proper support that simple pain in our feet can spread up to our knees, hips, back, shoulders and even neck. Strained muscles and poor posture are sure to follow if the problem does not get corrected.
Track Season is here for high schools across South Carolina. Many meets and invitationals are around the corner for high school athletes. With events ranging from discus throw to the 3200meters race, track is a very multi-faceted sport. To compete in track at the high school level it certainly takes true determination and a strong team. Unlike Cross Country, Track, or Track and Field, needs a broader range of athletes.
As endurance athletes, we all know the value of proper hydration once the temperatures outside start rising, but proper hydration is equally important in colder months and spring. The average water content of the human body varies from 40% to 75% of total body weight, with values declining with age.
