Running Tip of the Month!

Beat the heat!

Allow about two weeks to acclimate to the heat.  Once acclimated, make sure to take fluids along with you on any run over 90 minutes.  Make sure you take in enough sodium along the way.

4) There is no advantage or disadvantage in running the longer or shorter distances.  The point of the series is to finish ahead of other series' participants, so pick the race where you think you will perform best.
