Athletes of the Month - Kyle and Adam |
|
|
KYLE JONES
Kyle was the alternate for Canada's 2008 Olympic Triathlon Team in Beijing and is one of the favorites to make Canada's Olympic Team for London 2012. Kyle has been a regular on the World Cup circuit for the past few years and boasts numerous top 10 finishes. Kyle opened up his 2009 World Cup season at the ITU Ishigaki World Cup this month, posting the day's 4th fastest 10km run, a 31:22, to take 9th overall.
"Training is going very well right now. I'm feeling fit and ready to start racing! I've been able to stay "sick free" for the winter training months which has been a big reason why I feel so ready to compete this early."
Kyle is a newcomer to the 7SYSTEMS team and like most of our professional athletes he discovered our product after someone recommended he try it after he kept getting sick and run down from heavy training loads. He has been kind enough to include one of his favorite recipes below.
ADAM CAMPBELL
Adam is one of the original 7SYSTEMS' ambassadors. He has competed all over the world in a variety of endurance events, focussing mainly on running in the past few years. Adam does not consider himself a professional athlete but his results suggest otherwise. He was selected to Canada's mountain running team in 2006/2007 and most recently placed second overall in the Vancouver International Marathon. What makes Adam's run to the podium so remarkable is that he has been a full time law student this year and finished his last exam just days before the marathon. Talk about Doing More!
"I finished 2nd overall at the Vancouver Marathon this past weekend, which was a huge surprise to me. It was not the fastest time, but I am super stoked with how it went. I led the race through 16k, but couldn't stick with the eventual race winner when he started to really roll. Still, anytime you can lead a Kenyan for 16km is amazing, and it was a great day for me and the other 16,000 total participants enjoying the challenging course with the incredible support of the spectators lining the course."

Here are a couple recipes from our athletes of the month. We hope you enjoy learning what our athletes are putting into their body on a daily basis.  Kyle's Banana Berry Protein Smoothie I enjoy one of these smoothies daily, either after swimming or following my last workout of the day.

 Adam's "Quick and dirty post run hash mash up" Sweet potato, vegetables, avovado and more makes for a great post run breakfast. You can add some wild game, or turkey sausages, or cubed tempeh for our veggie friends, for a hardier option.

Coach's Corner - Core Muscle Activation Exercises |
|
Do these exercises when not actively engaged in a strength program. * First week do 1×12 reps each day * Second week do 2×10 reps each day * Third week do 3×10 reps each day Pelvic Tilt Lie on back your back with your knees bent up and heels near your buttocks, arms at sides. Contract your lower abdominal muscles while you exhale, and push your spine towards the ground, flattening it out. Hold, and then release the contraction as you inhale. Hip Shrug Lie on your back, legs straight, and arms at your sides. Exhale and slowly pull one hip up towards the armpit on the same side by contracting the muscle deep in your back above your belt line. Hold, then release the contraction, inhale, and repeat with other hip. Toe Out Leg Raise Lie on your back, legs straight, and arms at your side. Roll one leg outward, exhale, and slowly lift it up towards the ceiling. Pause and hold it for a moment before lowering it slowly to the ground. Repeat with other leg. Side Leg Raise Lie on your side with your legs straight, and on top of each other. Keep your hips stacked on top of each other by rolling slightly forward. Slowly raise the upward leg to 45 degrees as you exhale, pause and then lower it slowly back down. After a full set do other leg. Mule Kick Start on your hands and knee with a flat, stable back. Slowly raise one heel and push it back as you straighten your leg. Pause, then bring it back down and lift and straighten the other leg.
Notes: Do exercises lying on the floor. Do slowly with good control. Breathing should be slow and deep, inhaling when muscles are relaxing and exhaling when muscles are contracting.

| Our Community - 7SYSTEMS at Sporting Life 10k for Camp Oochigeas |
|
Sporting Life 10km
Team 7SYSTEMS participated in this year's Sporting Life 10k in support of Camp Oochigeas on May 3rd. Over thirty 7SYSTEMS athletes and customers took part in what is Canada's second largest running race.
Two 7SYSTEMS teams of 15 members each competed against each other and 99 other teams to raise money in support of Camp Oochigeas and run fast while doing it. Many green shirted 7SYSTEMSers finished in the top 100, and the teams took 1st and 2nd place overall in the Team Category, with times ranging from 32 minutes to 56 minutes for the 10km course down Yonge Street. Visit our Out There BLOG for more detailed breakdown on how everyone did and some more pictures of the team racing. And yes, that is a 7SYSTEMS container running the race finishing in a time of 41 minutes.
7SYSTEMS participation in the Sporting Life 10km continues its tradition of raising money for charitable causes in conjunction with sporting events.
