Wrist support

Hello all!

I’m running the Charlotte Super this year and need some help on what to do with my wrist. I’ve broken and sprained it numerous times between baseball and snowboarding, so it gets sore pretty often under stress. I ran the Sprint last year in that nasty ass weather, and it was in pretty rough shape afterwards.

I normally wear wrist straps when I’m lifting, but that definitely doesn’t seem ideal for this. What have some of you used in previous races for a wrist since it gets a lot of movement and stress? I’m looking to try to get used to it the next few weeks before the race.

Thanks in advance for any and all help!

As far as gloves for better grip versus au natural.. I do not see a lot of wrist support.

Maybe some compression wrap neoprene thing (fit four Spartan gloves) or learn some stabilization wrap with Kines tape or the like...just make sure you train by hanging on some bars prior the race with the support to see how it works for you.

Buy some cloth sports tape from the local pharmacy and wrap it up however you're used to your neoprene wraps.

KT Tape. Look up the YouTube videos on how to tape your wrist. It might also benefit you to get some gloves to support the tape from falling off.
