The DC Phantom 4 snowboard boot keeps on keepin' on. DC's most successful boot returns, and this season they've enhanced it with CTR, another exclusive DC technology.

The Phantom 4 has a shank in the arch for added support and stability. It comes stock with an Air Liner. The Air's patented inflatable bladder lets you customize your fit, and gel in the toe and tongue help ensure a comfortable ride.

DC Boots for Life
I just barely got my Phantom 4's 'bout a month ago and I've never been in a better boot. The air bladder really makes a difference and the toe gel feels really nice. The heat factory sole is the best idea ever. The only thing I have a problem with is that they are a bit heavier then most other boots. But overall, I give them a 5.

Training Tips
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.
Efficient running position allows you to run farther and faster. Keep the heel raise to a minimum, relax your upper body and hands, keep your upper body poised and quiet.
