Keeping Female
Runners Healthy
Came across this video (courtesy of FloTrack.com) a while back and thought it would be good for all you girls to watch. The interviewee is, Karen Harvey, the women's head XC coach at Florida State University, the 2009 NCAA XC runner-ups. (Side note - she was the head coach at University of Illinois up until 2006). She was also a very successful All-American runner in both cross country and track at the University of Michigan in the mid-90's. In this video she discusses some of the issues that contribute to female running-related health. Great insight, from both a successful female athlete and coach, to keeping yourself healthy both short and long-term. Video may take some time to load...if so, press play, then pause it to let it load up most of the way. |

the importance
of proper
nutrition.
