Refueling After Exercise

Dorothy Hamburg

If you participate in high-intensity workouts or exercise that lasts more than 60 minutes refueling your body post-exercise is very important for recovery.

I think the following tips regarding food & liquid replacement are helpful.

Enjoy your workouts!

• Understand why your body needs refueling.

During exercise your body breaks down tissues and uses energy (primarily… Continue

Tri/Du April 25

Seasons Greeting Everyone,

I just want to toss this out there to all the athletes in the area who are looking for an early season race or for those who are thinking of doing a triathlon, but are a bit weary about an open water swim.

I'm the new Race Director for a local triathlon/duathlon in south Jersey (just a couple miles over the Walt Whitman and Com. Barry Br.). Since it's sooooo early in the season we will be doing a pool swim (15 laps/375yds), a 14.5 mile bike (most… Continue

5K on 12.19.09 in Las Vegas

After running my first few half marathons this year -- and one earlier this month-- a 5K seemed like a walk in the park so I decided to run with some of my friends from bootcamp and my goal - since it was such a short run - was to try to pick up my speed a little. I did it, carving a little more than four minutes off my best 5K time so far. … Continue

My relationship w/ food and nutrition. SIMPLE

I should start off by telling everyone that I am certainly a big fan of food. I used to own and operate a catering company. I also happen to consider food and the kitchen to be the hub of home and family.

Food is one of life's pleasures and should never become a chore or major obstacle.

6 years ago, while adapting to an endurance lifestyle, I was fortunate enough to have a conversation with an ER doctor who shares our zeal for athletics and training. He and I have a similar… Continue

Climbing out of a valley......

Odd..I have fallen into a valley after finishing my Half Marathon; actually I've been this way ever since I completed my 1st Oly in September. My enthusiasm and zeal dropped then climbed again for the Half..then it slid back down to rock bottom. Both events took an emotional toll on me because I was afraid and didn't believe I could finish..but I did & the feeling was unbelievable. I remember walking on clouds for at least a week. And what happenened afterwards: little interest in running,… Continue

Race review: Las Vegas R + R marathon. Half distance.

Pre race

The KarmaStriders and PTC-er BrotherpPaul ended his 09' race calender today with the Las Vegas Rock and Roll marathon, half distance. The trip started off of the WRONG foot as, after running through the Phila Int'l airport like OJ in the old rent a car commercial, I missed my 7 am flight by a mere 3 minutes. UGH. But it's right there, I can see the plane ! No dice.

So a swift direct flight became a 3.5 hr longer flight w/ a stopover in Houston. Oh… Continue

Off season Training article #2 of 3

Time to lay out the plans…

Your thinking “its the holidays! What could I possibly do for training??? Turkey Carving is some of the best deltoid training there is! This will make you more stable on the bike and resist fatigue longer! Don’t miss the opportunity. Actually I am kidding. Thanksgiving marks the beginning on the holidays and the beginning of the long difficult road to start training again. I myself, have fallen victim to the following scenario before. First its time to… Continue
