Hello Runners!
A new year is here, bringing with it a new chance to lower your 5K PR or to train for a marathon. I hope your winter training is going well and that you’re sticking to your New Year’s fitness resolutions after a month of holiday gorging!
This is “The Youth Issue” with several features focusing on Colorado’s younger runners. We have race reports from the high school cross country championships in Colorado Springs, several college cross country meets and the Girl Scouts 5K, which had hundreds of young runners. We also have an article focusing on a common injury in youth runners, as well as an article about children’s running and how parents can help their kids stay active and eat well.
As we celebrate the new year, Colorado Runner wants to bring more recognition to runners around the state. That’s why we’ve started a racing series where runners can compete for prizes and for a moment in the spotlight. The series highlights road races throughout Colorado and we hope you have fun competing in your age group. You’ll be able to track your progress through the year by checking the results listed in each issue.
For those who love FREE STUFF… we are giving away a pair of snowshoes for our magazine subscribers this month. Good luck on winning!
Have fun training!
