Are You a Wet Sponge?       

by Coach Matt Russ

 

There are a great number of things that affect how much training volume a person can absorb in a given time period, including individual physiology, stress/lifestyle, nutrition, age, recovery technique, sleep amount and quality, and of course practicality. If you are following a plan that requires a set number of weekly or monthly training hours, this may or may not align itself with how many hours you can actually profit from. Read on...

Kellye Yoga NEW:  Yoga for Triathletes  

Mondays at 6:30pm
   

Did you know that the incidence of injury with Ironman training is as high as 90%!  Athletes tend to place way too much emphasis on applying training stress and volume, when in fact an equal amount of emphasis should be placed upon active recovery, flexibility and joint range of motion, restoring body balance and strength.

Join us for a Yoga class designed especially to meet the needs of endurance athletes, although all are welcome.  We will work on expanding our bodies and minds to prevent injury, practice our focus, and prepare for the season ahead.  The perfect "off season" tool to create a stronger platform to build your next season upon.

November 2011 Athlete of the Month:  

Nelson Fitzpatrick 

 

In May 2011, Nelson Fitzpatrick couldn't run for just 20 minutes without walking.

 

In August 2011, Nelson RAN for 15 miles straight at 10:30 min / mile pace.

 

If that doesn't tell you enough about the courage and character Nelson, let's continue. In late August, Nelson capped out at his peak weekly mileage - 70 miles per week. He ran his fastest 5k in years, he sliced his mile PR down by more than two minutes to 8:24 min, and he ran the fastest half marathon he has run in 3 years.

 

Oh, and he's 70 year's old. Read on . . .
