Easy Does It From Runner's World

Consciously or not, many runners push too hard on easy runs and miss out on their varied benefits—like time to heal, for one. Demanding workouts like speedwork and long runs put a great deal of stress on muscles, and "any time there's a stress, you have to allow some recovery time for those tissues to rebuild," McMillan says. Time spent going easy also builds your fitness base and staves off burnout. "Easy runs allow you to focus on enjoying the run and your surroundings," says Michael Sachs, Ph.D., a sports psychologist at Temple University.

 Control Your Self-Image
Research shows that marathoners who expect to hit "the wall" do indeed hit it, says Kamphoff. "In any race you need to imagine yourself strong," she says. "Pay attention to the images in your mind, and be ready to adjust them if you need to talk yourself out of a tough spot."

In order to make this a total success, we need your support! If you can help spread the word about the new website, the ever-increasing awareness will lead to a cyclical pattern of news flow that further strengthens the website’s foundation and future efforts. How can you help? If you’re a coach, please tell your athletes about the site. If you’re an athlete, parent or fan, please tell your friends!

Thank you for sharing out excitement as we move forward. See you at the meets! Nate Fox, Jim Roldan and Rich Gonzalez

My VO2max Test Results: Running to Exhaustion! | Runblogger

 That’s the description of the test itself, so what exactly does VO2max mean? Basically, it’s a measure of how much oxygen you can deliver to your working muscles during maximal exercise. The higher your VO2max, the more oxygen you are able to deliver to fuel metabolism. This is influenced by many factors, from your lung size to your cardiac output to the capillarization of your muscles to the function of enzymes in your muscles. However, despite how often VO2max is mentioned, it’s not a perfect indicator of performance capability (other factors like economy and anaerobic threshold come into play here), but it can give some idea of your endurance potential
