[quote=Anonymous]Hi there, there seem to be a lot of experienced running parents here, so seeking some advice. DD took up x-country/track for the first time this year and is really into it. The top runners at her school have been running for years and belong to run clubs or have done other programs, so they seem to know how to train. DD really wants to get better and has started doing lots of long runs on her own but doesn't seem to know how to incorporate recovery/injury-prevention or cross-training (and rejects any suggestion from DH or I that maybe she should look into it). She's at a giant public high school where there isn't bandwidth to support individual kids, so wonder if there are other resources I can direct DC to. Summer camps or run clubs where she can get more training advice? Good blogs or podcasts? Want to support her desire to improve and get to a higher level, but most importantly, want to make sure she is laying a sound foundation so she doesn't injure herself and is able to enjoy running for a long time. TIA![/quote]
