Running

Back for a third installment of Exercises That Runners Should Reconsider.  Please read Part I and Part II if you missed them.

Bob Seebohar, MS, RD, CSSD, CSCS is a leading sports dietician, triathlon coach, and strength coach who has worked with some of America’s finest Olympic sport athletes.   He is the author of several books and DVD’s, such as Metabolic Efficiency Training, Nutrition Periodization for Athletes, and Nutrition Periodization for Athletes.   For more information on Bob along with his products and services, please visit his main website at Fuel4mance.  

We covered the pack neck thoroughly in a two part series at Swimming Science, but because it is such an important topic it is worth revisiting with additional discussion and supplementary pictures.  See Part 1 and Part 2 at Swimming Science for additional discussion.   

Congrats to all that competed and to the six athletes that earned spots on the Olympic Team at Olympic Trials last weekend!  We had a great weekend supporting friends in the race and meeting coaching colleagues from around the world.  USATF and the Houston Marathon Committee set up a great course for spectating, which allowed us to see the athletes at multiple points along the course.  Couldn't have asked for a better setup.    

If you have not read Part I and Part II, please do so now.

Jesse Armijo recently qualified for the 2012 Olympic Trials with a time of 2:17 at the California International Marathon.  As someone who works and goes to school in addition to racing at a high level, he's one of stories that make Trials such a compelling race.  You can follow Jesse's training at A Pondering Runner (http://jessearmijo.blogspot.com/).
