Okanagan Sunshine!

Finally the sun is out and races are in full swing for the local triathletes and runners! As the miles start to ramp up, be sure to stay on top of any potential injuries. Talk to your coach, nutritionist and / or rehab specialist on how to properly recover between your work outs. If you have any concerns get on them now!

Before your next training session, be sure to check that your cleats haven't come loose (personal experience a couple weeks back!) and keep track of your seat position - a small change from a bolt coming loose can make a big difference on how you feel during or after a long ride. Watch out for changes in wear patterns of your shoes - you don't want to be running on a camber when you should be running on the flats! On that note, if any Achilles' problems start to sneak up after long training runs or race day, compare the heel heights of your shoes. An extreme change in height can put unaccustomed loads/stress on to your calf muscles...any questions pop in and ask at PCRAS, your local running store or health professional.

Happy and safe training!!
