Note
Studies have shown that it takes more than 23 minutes to get back to a
task after being interrupted and in this day and age of connectivity
there is no shortage of things to interrupt us. The pinging sound of
new e-mail, the buzz of a text message, a call from your boss (or
spouse), a pop-up [Read

in college, Greg Hansbrough’s life has been a slow-developing play in
success of another nature. Before he was 8 years old, Greg’s life was

Food
for Fuel - Quinoa Tabbouleh - The Perfect Make Ahead
Salad
This month’s recipe is a play on traditional tabbouleh, but instead of
using the conventional bulgur, it calls for tender, nutty quinoa
instead. The flavor and the nutritional value are very similar, but the
quinoa turns this classic Middle Eastern dish into a complete protein.
This tabbouleh is a filling and energizing meal on its own, but also a
great side dish when paired with most entrees. The make-ahead salad is
perfect for backyard barbecues, and stays good for up to one week after
preparation. The recipe makes 6-8 servings.[read more]

Staying Safe While Running Long Distance
High
mileage days require planning before you even hit the pavement,
especially if you want to complete a successful training day. Mapping
out your route, setting your expected pace, and even day-before
carb-loading are all part of the distance runner’s life. One thing we
often take for granted is [read

As the running distance increases, the time for other exercise becomes
scarce. This exercise packs a large bang for the buck into a single
motion. It improves single leg stability, the critical core element for
running efficiency. It also provides hip extension (glute and
hamstring) activation, a primary power [read more]

Two Simple Exercises to Strengthen Your Glutes
With
the warm weather approaching, most avid runners are likely starting to
up the mileage to prepare for summer races or simply to enjoy the
sunshine. With increased mileage can come increased risk of injury,
especially when done too quickly. Some of the most common overuse
injuries in runners include knee pain, plantar fasciitis, and shin
splints. While these injuries occur in different body parts they all
have one thing in common; usually the underlying cause is somewhat
similar. For most runners, the inability to activate and correctly
stabilize with the gluteal muscles leads to overuse injuries. The
glutes are the powerhouse and stabilizers of the lower extremity and
when the glutes are not [read more]
