“I want to lose weight so other runners don’t drop me on the hills.” 

“I plan to shed a few pounds before the marathon to be faster.”

“Losing weight would really improve my Power to Weight ratio…”

Congratulations to all of the athletes who competed in the Ohio High School Athletic Association State Cross Country Championships as well as the various National Championships. 

Cold Weather Running

Avoid running on the roads in snowy conditions. Drivers have a decreased ability to maneuver and stop.

Many runners fantasize about losing weight (“Wouldn’t it be nice to lose a few pounds…”).Unlike some athletes who have to lose weight in order to meet a specific division for their sport (such as boxers or wrestlers), runners often choose to target a lower-than-normal weight for a specific race. (Note: Dropping weight once or twice a year is far healthier than trying to keep a low weight all year round!)
