Eating carbohydrates the day before your trials (pasta ;D). After if you have regular training it will do so do not worry! good luck, XOXO, Enora

Hi! You may need more potassium (nothing serious though), which can be found in bananas and potatoes. I like to eat a ZonePerfect bar after a workout (running, swimming, biking, aerobics, etc.) because the nutritional value is awesome (beats taking a protein/vitamin supplement, especially at your age) as well as tasty. Also, make sure you are cross-training properly if you want to build up endurance for serious runs. Running is good, but any of the activities I previously listed will not only increase your stamina but also assist your muscles in becoming more efficient for running. And last but not least, be especially sure that you are fully hydrated before a run. Don't drink water right before a run and think that you are okay. Your body needs a certain amount of water constantly. Get at least 50 ounces of fluid (64 is recommended and best) whether from juice, sports drinks, or water (soda does not count and should really be avoided). And sorry to have said an essay's worth...just wanted to make sure I covered all the bases!
