Why Should You Listen?
"I've been a runner for the last 18 years and trained for everything from cross country in high school to the San Diego Marathon.  And, I've read a lot of books and magazines about fitness and training.  I thought I knew all I needed to know at this point about hydration...within the first 10 minutes of listening to the SoccerPro training podcast I learned 2 critical facts about hydration that I NEED to know and it will change the way I recover from long runs."
