FROM AROUND THE 'NET
1. New Marathon Record
Tegla Loroupe. 2. Are Banana's Good for You?
Banana Facts More? 3. Running Form Trying to mimic another runner's form is not a good idea.
Every runner is a
little different, and what works perfectly for
someone else may not be right for you. Instead, learn the
biomechanics of
proper form and then adapt them to your training.
4. Sports Drinks
Sports drinks may be more effective than water.
Sodium and carbohydrates can increase fluid absorption as
sodium is
readily absorbed in the small intestines. These drinks are
more likely
to enter the system than water , which would end up in the
bladder.
Carbos in sports drinks serve as an energy source during long
runs and can help prevent blood sugar levels from dropping.
5. Sleeping Better
Having a hard time falling asleep before tomorrow's race? Turn on
the air conditioning if you have it and wear socks to bed.
Research has found that warm feet and a cool head increases the
amount of heat lost through your hands/feet. This in turn makes you
sleepy.
6. Running Intervals and Hill Repeats
Intervals and hill repeats may lead to gains in strength
and speed. High intensity anaerobic running is one of the most potent stimulators
of
natural human growth hormones (HGH. These can contribute to
stronger
muscles and by doing so, enhance performance.
7. Resting Heart Rate (RHR)
Take your pulse every morning before you get out of bed. Over
time, you will
find what is a normal RHR for you. A higher than normal
resting heart rate means
you're overtraining.
8. Walking/Running off that Weight
You can
figure out how many calories
you burned grinding up that "blood 'n guts" hill.
Calories and Walking
Words of Inspiration
"There is no substitute, therefore, for the orthodox virtues "There is a time to run and there is a time to rest. The Running Woman Message Board in Diet and Fitness
On October 1st, a new logo and name was introduced for the
channel - Diet and Fitness. This I believe will be a better
match of two areas that go hand in hand for better health. For the Running Woman message board
the change went with little or no effect. The location is the same and the running members
just keep on posting. For other message boards, some are leaving for another channel while others
are consolidating with other message boards.
The Running Woman has enjoyed a rise in the number of postings each week. This is obviously
due to the summer months attracting new runners and the return of other runners to the paths.
As we move into the fall, for some of us, this will mean the end to running oudoors as winter
approaches. Relocation to indoor running tracks and treadmills becomes the focus. Let's support each
other in the winter months.
Good Luck and Good Running
Gord About This Newsletter
A reminder that experts - we are not. Information offered is a collection
of research with a taste of experience and opinion added for flavour.
I don't get upset if someone disagrees with
something that has been said or written. In our experience with
running groups here at home, it is difficult to get
agreement on most anything. If it works for you, then
it works.
