It is base building time! As you increase your mileage, it is normal to experience delayed onset muscle soreness and fatigue after long runs. Recovery time is very important. This is when your body is making the physiological adaptations to running long.

As your mileage increases so does your risk for injury. Follow these Top 10 Tips to speed recovery time, reduce injury risk, and decrease fatigue and soreness after long runs and races.

From Fleece to Technical

/



We've decided to order PB technicals as our supplier doesn't have enough fleece product available. These technical's are very runner friendly with dry wicking fabric and small key holding pockets. They cost $40.00.

If you'd like to cancel your fleece order or place one for a technical, please let us know by Thursday of this week. Include size with your order.
