Ok, so I think it has been a little while since the last blog, so with the holiday season quickly upon us, I figured I will add just one more task to accomplish. So, here goes the second and probably the last post of the year, but you never know!
Things to keep in mind during the long holiday season when it comes to training, racing, and overall fitness. Be smart about training, take some time for the family, eat some food that you do not normally eat during peak training season, and get some rest. You will be amazed how much you can accomplish if you just cut back training for a few days, in terms of muscle/injury recovery. With that said, now is the time to come into the office, let us take you thru a series of functional screens to better acesss potential areas where injuries could occur.
Our next topic will be a little discussion on functional strength, and how we test an individual. With that information, we can then prescribe a training program to address those problem areas, which will then help to stabilize the area and help to keep you from coming to see us on a regular basis!
Happy Holidays,
Dr. Matt

SLIR at the Thursday Night Trail Running Races
OK, so this is our first go-around at this unknown (at least to me) tool called Blogging. Last night the office had a presence at the first annual (and first race) Alpine Shop Off-Road Racing League trail series. Although, the number of participants was lower than expected, the excitement of the concept was present. With very little advertisement, the were still more than 20 runners on an evening where the heat index reached over 105 at 7:00pm.
The course was flat and fast with a two-loop concept at beautiful Castlewood State Park. The runners pretty much stayed on the Lone Wolf trail which has a rather large creek traversing thru the middle of the course, which being a two-loop course, they had to cross twice. Needless to say, the race was an overall success, and with more advertising from the Alpine Shop, Big River Running, and SLIR next week should present itself with quite a few more runners.
