Perhaps there's some specific "soda slows you down" old wives tale circulating among XC coaches.

Soda is basically in the same category as candy. So why do people insist on having it with every meal? Would you have a candy bar with every meal?
Partly that. The carbonation and acidity can cause upset stomach, especially when coupled with the jostling from running 5k all-out over rough terrain. I've seen it happen, and the end result was on display for all....
Just keep running...
I concur.

Well, on an off topic note, I just found the first person that was really ripping me off and claiming my work as his own. He had stolen 40+ of my articles, which gave me my first reason to have to actually send a cease and desist letter. Blah.

But about the diet pop, I hear (don't know too much about it) that diet is actually worse for you than regular because it has aspartyme (I think that is what it's called), which is apparently not good for you???
If i really wanted a bottle of pop i would take the regular sugary one over the lite aspartame alternative (thats just my opinion btw)...
