Critical Equipment for Serious Athletes: Practice Necessities, Recovery Aids

Each track & field athlete should be equipped with a digital watch and professionally fitted training shoes each practice day. Athletes competing in running and jumping events will also need competition spikes. Please visit a local running specialty store to purchase these items! Forward Motion Sports, RoadRunner Sports, Athletic Outpost, Fleet Feet and LaFoot are all local stores that provide the right service!

In addition, athletes can order training apparel and recovery equipment on line at www.RunningWarehous.com. This web store offers good prices and free shipping on some great products for track & field athletes, including running shorts, sport watches, foam rollers, compression socks, water proof training jackets and more!

Cougar track & field expects all athletes to attend practice sessions with appropriately SHORT training shorts, a watch with split timer function, sweat pants, and other necessary equipment and apparel. We also encourage athletes to bring an after workout snack, like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, chocolate milk, Gatorade or sports bar to consume at the conclusion of the workout in order to capitalize on the "20 minute critical nutrition recovery window" following exercise.

Athlete daily "homework" includes good nutritional choices throughout the day, being sure to include a variety of fruits and vegetables, along with complex carbohydrates. After workout meals should include protein from dairy, legumes, or lean meat. "Homework" also means recovery activities like stretching and rolling tight or knotted muscles and tendons. The use of a foam roller or tennis ball for self massage is critical for maintaining health through the rigors of season training.
