Marmot Borealis Glove - Kids
Whether your little tyke or tigress is Stem Christying down the slopes, sculpting Frosty in the front yard, or lobbing a snowball at a yucky girl or boy, you can rest assured their little hands are warm and dry in the Borealis Glove. Complete with a waterproof membrane that simply won't let moisture penetrate, the Borealis is more than just a low-tech version of an adult's glove. It features reinforcements throughout that will withstand rough and tumble play, like padded knuckles, and a thick layer of fleece on the back of the hand where insulation counts the most. In winter, kids and runny noses go together like recess and play. That's why little ones will find a super soft swathe of fabric along the thumb, affectionately called a nose wipe, the handiest thing ever. A safety leash ensures the Borealis Gloves for kids stay right where they should…attached to the kid. Best of all, the Borealis is a great value. Available in mittens [MAR0218].

Training Tips
When buying a new pair of running shoes, bring your old ones with you. You will get a better fit if you know if you supinate or pronate.
Heart monitors are useful for knowing when you are in the right zone for your training efforts. If you understand what your maximum heart rate is, you can set up your monitor to beep at you when you exceed the high or low range of your heart rate for the type of workout you are doing.
Cross training gives your body a chance to recover while still exercising. If yesterday has a hard run day up and down hills, then today's bicycle ride gives your aching knees a well deserved break.
Anaeroic threshold is when lactic acid starts to build up in your body as your muscles are not getting the oxygen they require. This threshold is typically expressed as a percentage of your VO2 max - the amount of oxygen per kilogram of weight that a person can use in converting fuel to energy. Elite athletes threshold might be as high as 90% of VO2 max.
