Free Webinar: The Basics of Nutrition....and more to come this summer!
We have started hosting performance based webinars. The first free webinar is June 18th. Here is just a sample of the ones you can register for at www.fuel4mance.com:
The Basics of Nutrition: A global picture of everything that encompasses nutrition and how a person views food will serve as the basis of the presentation. From this viewpoint, the application of a sport’s energy systems, goals for the training year and the basics of carbohydrate, fat and protein intake will be reviewed. The concept of energy “flux” for determining when, what, why and how much to eat will also be presented.
Sport Performance and the use of Legal Ergogenic Aids: This talk will review the use and application of 6 supplements that are currently very popular in sports: 1) Sodium Citrate, 2) Creatine,3)Glycerol,4)Amino Acids, 5)Beta-Alanine and 6)Caffeine. The rationale behind how these supplements can be used to enhance sports performance will be reviewed. Application of these supplements to a range of sports will be utilized to help illustrate the potential effects these ergogenic aids can have in competition.

2009 Adidas Track Classic
This past weekend I found the time to watch the Adidas Track Classic. My favorite was definitely the men's 1500m where Bernard Lagat showed he is coming into great form for the 2009 season. He has always been one of my favorites as he beautifully turns his legs over at the end of the race.
Lagat is an amazing athlete showing a brilliant combination of anaerobic and aerobic running economy is the race. You can tell he is in good form when he can come through the first 800m in 1:55 or so this early on and then brilliantly close out the last 100m of the race as well. The speed and power that he has makes it possible. When you have a 1:46 800m speed then going through in 1:52 is not bad; the ones that hurt are those that are either not in 1:46/1:45 shape yet (which they should be) and then as a result, we saw them hurt for the last 700m of the race. For this same reason, athletes like LaShawn Merritt would make brilliant 800m runners-much like Jearl Miles Clark has done.
So frequently people think of 1500m runners as an aerobic animal. In all reality, they are an amazing combination of both the aerobic or anaerobic systems to their fullest extent and can turn on either-just depending on the type of training they are doing.
It will be great to watch Lagat as he races the 5K at the end of May.
