Colorado, meet Mariah Hook! The Air Academy sophomore recently finished third at the Canon City Middle and High School Cross Country Invitational, running 19:47.
Running is a fantastic way to improve cardiovascular fitness, build endurance, and maintain overall health. However, one of the most common complaints among runners is back pain, which can range from mild discomfort to debilitating injury.
If you are like me, you were enthralled with watching the Tour de France and the Paris Olympics. I find myself wondering about the strategies those high-performing athletes use to fuel their bodies before, during, and after extremely hard training sessions/competitions.
