Toya’s Tips!
DRESS WARM!

TIGHTS
During the colder months all athletes should wear tights during the workout when sessions are in the early morning and evenings. Any type of tight offers a mild amount of compression, which helps increase blood flow, keeping muscles warm and supple. Tights will insulate the muscles, prevent pulls and strains and most importantly, the body is not working hard to keep you warm but allowing all energy towards your working running muscles.

WARM-UP SUITS (Jacket and Pants)
Warm-up suits should be worn regardless of weather. Wear the warm up suits to the workout and remove them after your warm up drills and jog. After each and every workout session athletes should immediately remove wet clothing and put their warm-up suits on. You will notice most Kenyan and Ethiopian elite distance runners show up to practice in warm-ups, run in tights during the workout and immediately put their warm-ups on after the session. Again, this will insulate the muscles, prevent pulls and strains and keep you warm after the workout.
