Injury is one of the biggest things a runner needs to deal with in order to stay on the road.  For most of us, injury is part of the game.  One tactic you can use to help prevent injury, or help you maintain your fitness level while injured, is water running.  This week we take a closer look at water running and investigate the different ways it can be incorporated into your training routine.

The air in DC is really bad, so we can't breathe here.  Plus, to add insult to injury, having a beer after a run isn't necessarily the best idea.  Beer, like all alcohol will dehydrate you and also keep your body from being as oxygen efficient as it would be without.  So, don't drink prior to a race or the night before.
