Health & Training Tips |
| For most, the first two to three weeks of the cross country season is the toughest. It's a period of adaptation. For many, it's a time where they go from doing nearly nothing to running 25 - 35 mile per week. That's a major adjustment for the body. The majority of our athletes make it through these first few weeks with no problem (other than exhaustion and a little soreness). But for some, the first three weeks can lead to more serious concerns. Some of the more typical typical problems encountered by new runners (or runners just returning from an extended layoff) can include "shin splints", "runners' knee", "plantar faciitis", or "Illio-tibia band syndrome". In most cases, these problems can be addressed and the athlete can return to their normal routine, if caught early enough and dealt with properly. If these problems or others like them do pop up, see the Coronado trainer and talk with Coach Weeks about what you're feeling. Also, listed below are several articles and website which can be used to help educate you regarding the symptoms and treatment for many of the more frequently encountered maladies.
