Two interesting online articles from Physican and Sportsmedicine for those with a technical bent:
Emergency Triage of Collapsed Endurance Athletes
A Stepwise Approach to On-Site Treatment
LTC Fred H. Brennan, Jr, DO; COL Francis G. O'Connor, MD
When and Whom to Stretch?
Gauging the Benefits and Drawbacks for Individual Patients

There's a lot of talk about hydration and hyponatremia on the various lists due to some newspaper articles out on the subject now. I'll rant at length about electrolytes at some later date, but until then, keep up your hydration but at the same time (they talk about this aspect far too little): replenish, replenish, replenish your sodium and potassium!

Great articles. Thanks for the links. I know I tend to overlook sodium and potassium as key ingredients to safe and healthy training.
I still don't take in enough fluids and really don't know WHAT to drink? I tried apple juice and it sure made a differnce.
Great information Nancy and perfect timing for me!!
I don't stretch so now I'm confused....
