The Importance of Iron Level Upkeep For Distance Runners 
Every season there is one issue that we see time and time again with our runners that impacts them regardless of age, sex, or amount of training they are doing. That issue is anemia, or being iron deficient. If not careful, this is something that can compromise an athletes XC season very quickly. Our goal is to educate every family about the importance of iron and how it can enhance an athletes performance when taken seriously. 

Start Here:
Please begin by looking at this simple slide show presentation we have put together with the help of our good friend Coach Jesse Griffin (Lee's Summit West HS, MO) for families to look at. This should inform you as to why the coaching staff talks about iron/ferritin levels so often, and how you can successfully make sure your iron levels are sufficient. 

• Iron Level Upkeep and Ferritin for Distance Runners (link to presentation)​

Educate Yourself 
Educating yourself on these issues is very important. Here are a few things every family should be thinking about in regards to iron/ferritin levels:

• Educate yourself on what iron does for you as a runner, and how it can hurt when you are lacking.
• Get your ferritin levels tested 2-3 times a year by your medical provider, and know your numbers. The off-season is the best time to get your levels checked. 
• Set a goal for yourself to get your ferritin levels to at least 30. 40-50 is better, and gives you a nice surplus of iron. 
• If your ferritin is under 20, you are most likely not going to be able to perform at your best as a distance runner. 
• Eat lots of iron rich foods daily such as red meat and spinach. 
• Take an iron supplement. 

Articles about Iron for Distance Runners:
I have included several articles below about this very important issue to help you educate yourself on the matter. Please feel free to talk to the coaches if you have additionalquestion. 

• Iron Level Upkeep for Distance Runners
• Are Your Ferritin Levels Up to Speed? Top Coaches Take Tests for Iron Seriously 
• Ironing Out the Details: Know the facts about ferritin and iron before deciding to supplement
• Iron Deficiency In Runners

Talking to Your DoctorIn the coaching staff's experience some doctors are hesitant to test for ferritin levels because they do not fully understand the critical role ferritin plays in endurance athletics. Below is a letter from Dr. Kim Colter (Washington, MO) w/ references, about ferritin levels for endurance athletes that you can take with you to your medical provider when you ask to get tested. Please take this letter with you so that your doctor fully understands why it is you are asking to have your ferritin levels checked.

Team Carpool Information
JoAnn Davis (Ava, 10th) and Lynn Urban (Luke, 10th) have volunteered to co-head the Carpool group.  They will be compiling and distributing the list to those interested in sharing rides to practices, meets and other team activities.   

Carpoolers are not obligated to drive a certain number of runners, or be involved in a specific way.  It is simply a way to connect parents who could use a hand.  The fall season can be really hectic if you don't have a plan for rides, especially if you are new to the team and/or work traditional hours.  You can add your name later if you're not sure.   

Thanks to JoAnn and Lynn for taking on this important role, and thanks to Michelle Baade for coordinating last year's first-ever Carpool.  

Please contact them with any questions, or to add your name to the list: 

JoAnn Davis:  sldavis34@msn.com  (303-519-2485)
Lynn Urban: servanturban@gmail.com (303-263-3773)
