Hello everyone, Been running in the woods lately? Hope so, Anyway, Our First Official Course Preview day is
June 2nd @ 10am Here at 352 Mascarene Rd. Click here for Directions 506 755 2893 bryangagner@gmail.com Every Sunday in June will be a course preview at 10 am Once the snow leaves the trails, I will offer anyone interested to contact me at 506 755 2893 or bryangagner@gmail.com and come to preview the course with me. I will also be organizing group runs on the course on specific dates later in the spring (most likely Sundays) to be posted and sent out later. Did I say later? Active Isolated Stretching has helped me out in big ways. I have been running competitively for 30+ years and have never been able to stand, bend over and touch my toes. after 3 days of 2 AIS routines/day, I was able to touch my knuckles to the ground. Big changes. It is a different kind of "stretching" than the typical, static stretch and does so much more.
Here is a link to a Running Times (the best serious runners mag out there) article on Phil Wharton, who has been treating professional athletes for a while now with this method: Phil Wharton, Peace Through Strength. enjoy. Here is his Website where you can learn all about his methods and stretching routines: whartonperformance.com Strengthening is a big part of his program as well and should not be overlooked. There are videos galore and I highly recommend them. This smoothie recipie has been developing for a while and I think it's a good one having been gleaned and gathered from many sources. Perfect for replenishing glycogen and getting a protein boost soon after a long or hard run. Drink it up within 30 minutes of finishing a run. I add it all to an empty Hemp Pro 70 bottle, which is perfect for it's threaded rim that prevents splash-out, and use one of those blending wands to do it up. Give it some time to blend as the kale can take some time to chunder up finely. An old style blender would be dandy too.
~1.5 cups of "Eden Organic Unfiltered Apple Juice. ~1/4 cup blueberries ~1/4 cup cranberries ~one banana ~2 T ground chia seeds, if not ground they clump up ~2 t of tumeric ~1/4 t fresh ground black pepper ~4 T of "Hemp Pro 70 from Manitoba Harvest. 1 serving ~ a smallish handful (have your 4 year old do it if you have one around the house) of red russian kale or broccoli heads for calcium action. As I say... our bodies have a window in which we can much more readily and efficiently absorb needed nutrients after strenuous activities so drink it up within 30 minutes of finishing a run. If you are on the go, you can mix it all together before hand except the chia because they get glommy after a short while.
