Ok, the conversation at Cup-of-Joe digressed to what the best weirdest food to eat while swimming would be, so I'll spare you the details. On to some "orders of business" for the upcoming weekend. Packet pickup for the Run for Life is today (Thurs) from 5-7PM at TAF. The Run for Life is a TAF-sponsored race (Saturday, 8:30AM, WakeMed Soccer Complex), and it would be great to see our team well-represented! The Brooks Cavalcade of Curiosities will be at TAF on Friday from 2-8PM, so come by and check that out. The Distance Runner's Performance Clinic is also on Sat. from 10-1 at the Athletic Performance Center.
And, since I wrote this post a while back but haven't been able to fit it in to any of the "series" lately, we'll conclude with some tips on stretching. "Static stretching" is a thing of the past... "dynamic stretching" is in. So what happened, why the switch? As this article points out, static stretching can actually have detrimental effects on performance and may result in injury (it's not a good idea to stretch cold muscles). Here is a good dynamic stretching routine (I think we do most of these at the track!). Additionally, make sure you're stretching post-workout to increase flexibility and recover faster! #20
