Are your shoes worn out?

Posted on July 21, 2016October 19, 2021 by intraining

How to tell if your shoes are worn out…dead shoe walking

A commonly asked question is “how do you know when your shoes are worn out?” With improved production methods, the outsole (the part that makes contact with the ground) of the shoe often shoes very little sign of wear even after hundreds of kilometres. Conversely, if you have wide feet, or toes that poke up while running, you may prematurely wear a hole in the upper but still have a shoe that is otherwise perfectly function. For most shoes, the main area of concern is the midsole of the shoe where the cushioning is. There are a few signs to be aware of including leg fatigue, increased impact noise, and loss of recoil in the ‘dead shoe test’.

As a general rule of thumb, expect to receive approximately 500-800km of life from your running shoes (that is 3-4 months of running 40km per week). Obviously lifespan can some can obtain a greater life with some only able to obtain 300-400km until the shoe is worn out. A variety of factors affect this, including runner weight, terrain, running gait, frequency of running (you obtain a greater lifespan by alternating two or more pairs of shoes) as well as other factors that are runner dependent.

Key signs you need to replace your shoes

As your shoes wear out, you may find that your feet and legs are feeling more tired than usual. This is usually a subtle change over time and not apparent unless you try on a newer pair of shoes.
Older shoes often make a ‘thud’ sound when they hit the ground, as opposed to a quieter and smoother contact.
The ‘Dead Shoe Test’ involves bending the front half of the shoe in half, downwards towards the sole. In old and worn out shoes there will be little resistance and lesser recoil. This would suggest that the shock absorbing ability of the shoe is fading.
Look at the shoes from behind – if they are tilting excessively inwards or outwards this may suggest that the shoes need to be replaced.

The durability of a shoe depends on several factors including

The thickness of the midsole (generally thicker soles give higher mileage)
The density of the midsole (firmer is often better for durability)
Amount of use – shoes worn daily wear out relatively faster (consider rotating a couple of pairs instead)
Foot strike patterns – excessive pronation, supination, or forefoot running will unevenly wear the shoes resulting in their early retirement

Worn out shoes can be a contributing factor for injuries, so remember to replace them regularly to keep you running at your best. If you are unsure of whether your shoes have reached that ‘gone too far’ stage, come visit the staff at the intraining Running Centre for a FREE ‘dead shoe’ assessment.

Achilles tendon injury – Can you avoid it?

Posted on July 15, 2016October 19, 2021 by intraining

Can Achilles tendon injury be avoided?

Achilles tendon injuries are very difficult to treat due to their unique physiological structure and their ability to undergo huge changes in load and stresses. The rehabilitation of the tendon can be time-consuming, particularly if left untreated for some time. This will also be dependent on how the injury occurred, the age of the person, prior damage to the tendon, hormonal factors and the biomechanics associated with the individual. A management plan that is adaptable to the temperamental nature of the Achilles tendon is needed to address these many different aspects.

In an effort to avoid developing an Achilles tendon injury in the first place, you would think there might be some preventative measures that could be taken. Footwear, stretching and exercises, massage are all forms used by runners in an effort to stay injury free. The question would be is there any evidence to truly support any one of these areas?

In March, this year, a paper was published in the Journal of Science and Medicine in sport reviewing research on the preventative measures taken for tendon injuries. This paper divided its findings into three categories: stretch and exercise intervention, shoe adaptations, and other interventions. There was no evidence for… click here to read the full article in ‘From the Sole’ June clinic newsletter.

Where to start running

Posted on June 22, 2016October 19, 2021 by intraining

Taking on the World of Running

Taking on the world of running is a process. There is not a set of instructions to start running that suits everyone, and it is unlikely the runner’s high or success will be achieved instantly. Internet searches will give endless amounts of information and advice will always be given freely from other runners.

Working out what suits you best or even how to start can be a challenge. This will also change over the years as your own goals evolve. To make this process easier, break running into three major elements; training, community and footwear. Each of these are as important as the other as they impact significantly on how well you manage your training, stay injury free, and keep you motivated to stick at running. Finding compatible people for each of these elements through coaches, clubs, and running specialist stores is the key to achieving your goals sooner with fewer mistakes that lead to injury, mistaken purchases or stopping running.The newer you are at running, or when stepping up the distances, the more valuable you’ll find each of these resources.

Training

Running requires a routine with an appropriate combination of hard and easy sessions. Coaches and individualised training plans help provide a plan that explains the training process, provides progression as you improve or work towards specific goals, and suits your lifestyle. Training groups are the platform for more specific sessions such as long runs and speedwork. Smart training pays off.

Community

Your running community is where you will be supported during both the good and not so good running times. You will be in a place where you can talk running endlessly. The club singlet guarantees a cheer.

Footwear

There is a world of knowledge in a running specialist store. You are guided through a unique process to find a shoe that’s best suited to you, to find shoes for different running needs, and you can ask all the questions you like in a place where people love to talk running and answer all sorts of questions. Don’t be shy.

If you are new to the world of running, make sure you have a look at the Couch 2 10km program here where you can convert yourself from ‘couch potato’ to 10km runner in just 13 weeks.

Pre-race care for your feet – by Doug James (podiatrist & physio)
Give your feet a makeover before your next race…
As runners, our feet are usually the least attractive part of our body. Over the course of training for your favourite event, your feet will inevitably look a little worse for wear. Below are three common foot related issues that after running has taken it’s toll.

Common ‘runners foot’ symptoms

– Hard skin: Commonly forms around the big toe joint, tips of toes, and your heels as a result of wear and tear when running.

– Corns: Concentrated painful areas of hard skin.

– In-grown toe nails are also regularly seen in distance runners.

Don’t dispair, your feet can be chiseled back to their former running beauty! The podiatrists at intraining Running Injury Clinic can assist with maintaining your feet and getting them ‘race ready’.

Pre-race foot care

Posted on May 26, 2016June 23, 2022 by intraining

It is no secret that as a runner it is unlikely we will ever get the call up to become a foot model. Over the course of your running training, your feet will inevitably look a little worse for wear and laden with a variety of unsightly lumps and bumps. Below are some common foot issues experienced by runners as well as some tips on how you can reduce the chance of these occurring and lastly what you can do to get your feet race ready.

Common runners foot symptoms

Callouses around the big toe joint, tips of toes, and heels from rubbing against the shoes or toes when running.
Corns under the forefoot or between toes
In-grown toe nails are also regularly seen in distance runners.
Black toe-nails

While these things may be a ‘badge of honour’ for some, they can become quite painful and may even hamper your training and race performance as it’s not unusual for blisters to suddenly appear mid-race. Running with blisters can be an awful experience, and one that is likely to be detrimental to the race you’ve been preparing months for.

Blisters can form due to the hardened callous skin rubbing on the softer skin layer below, and is more likely if you are running faster and/or further than usual (ie race conditions).

4 Quick tips to lower your chances unfavourable feet

Remove excess callous, corns, and long nails well before race day.
Wear performance running socks with anti-friction properties
Check your lacing to prevent your feet don’t slide in the shoe
Make sure your shoes fit well – big enough around the toes, grab your feet in the arch and heel.

Now is the ideal time to do a foot health check and have your feet treated .

If you have excessive amounts of callous, come and see our podiatrists at intraining Running Injury Clinic . They can prepare your feet for race day – so that you have the best run possible, not worrying about your feet.

Racing in new shoes

Posted on May 23, 2016October 19, 2021 by intraining

How late is too late to change shoes before a big race? There are no hard and fast rules, but essentially it’s never too late. And besides, rules are made to be broken aren’t they?

Rule 1: If it’s not broken, don’t fix it

Whilst old shoes are comfortable and familiar, they’re tired from all the training you’ve done! Shoes lose cushioning, and responsiveness as they age, and the older your shoes are, the greater your injury risk. You may have forgotten how good a new pair of shoes can feel to run in! You’ll know as soon as you do that your old shoes are ready for the garden.

Rule 2: Don’t try anything new on race day

Running in brand new shoes on race day is not recommended, but it has been done many times before. The cushioning materials used to manufacture shoes these days are fantastic. Your shoes should be comfortable right from the get go, and you shouldn’t need to wear them in at all.

However, it’s still recommended that you run in new shoes a couple of times during training prior to race day. Ideally you want to purchase new shoes a couple of weeks prior to race day, and run in them a few times. If you’re running in a different type/style of shoe compared to what you’re used to, it can take a couple of runs to get used to a different feeling.

Running in a more relaxed and controlled environment means you have the time and ability to deal with potential issues, should they arise. Doing some longer running as well as some faster speed/tempo efforts in these shoes during training will ensure that the shoes will be comfortable and suitable for your race.

George Derek Ibbotson If you asked most runners in the know who was the first person to run 4mins for a mile, the answer would undoubtedly be Roger Bannister. The answer is actually Derek Ibbotson. You are probably shaking your head, however, the devil is in the detail. Roger Bannister was certainly the first person to break 4mins for a mile, but Derek Ibbotson was the first to run exactly 4mins for the mile.

Thankfully for his sanity, Derek did actually end up going under 4mins for the mile and setting a new world record in 1957 – which you can see here.

Stay healthy, keep active and have a happy run!

Why you need to light up your next run?
Make sure you are safe out running in the dark!
As the evenings draws shorter and we are forced to run more in darkness, it is a timely reminder to make sure you are safe when out pounding the pavements.

Whilst our eyes will adapt to the light, oncoming cyclists, cars and other pedestrians can suddenly appear from out of nowhere destined to ruin an enjoyable run. As a road/path user, it is your responsibility to make sure you have sufficient reflective gear and lights in place to maximise your safety. We have put together a few products and recommendations that are worth a look this running season.

Cushioned and lightweight…yep we can help…
Running on clouds with the NEW Hoka Clifton 2
Hoka have quickly become a household name and growing in popularity every day. The combination of ultra lightweight running feel and the ultra plush and cushioned sole is something we have not yet seen from other brands. Usually, you get one or the other – not both.

The original Hoka Clifton was a popular shoe and had heads turning. The unmistakably ‘Hoka’ sole profile is one you couldn’t miss. For those unaware of the Clifton, the shoe has a 5mm heel to toe drop and features a mild ‘rocker’ type sole to assist in toe off, essentially making it feel easier to run.

The NEW Clifton 2 retains all these great features as well as ‘triathlon style’ heel tab for quick pull ons, cushioned tongue and even though we thought it couldn’t get any better – more cushioning. The Hoka Clifton 2 is also slightly narrower than the original with a more streamlined fit that really feels like it is holding your foot nicely in place.

If you find your joints are aching post run, want to try something new or are just interested to see how they compare to your current shoes, make sure you visit intraining Running Centre.

We have a wide range of Hoka footwear available in store to suit different foot types. Our trained staff are able to assist selecting the right fit for your foot. Make sure you bring your current shoes in for an assessment and we will help find your foot’s ‘happy place’.

Plan your meals – by Liz Lovering (dietitian and chef)
Help your body recover properly by planning ahead…
If you train in the evening, by the time you get home you may not feel like preparing or eating a regular evening meal. Hearty soups are just perfect in the cooler months as they are not too heavy on the stomach if you get home late. A warm soup can also provide you with the nutrition your body needs after a tough training session.

If you are busy with work, home life and training a little bit of meal planning can make the difference between going home and not really bothering with recovery nutrition or going home to a prepared meal that is good for recovery and tastes great.

It appears as though the allure of holding a Guiness Record is taking shape quickly in the sport of running. Would you run a half marathon in a full suit? In the past four weeks the Guiness Record has been tested twice across the globe, with the time being lowered from 1:24, to 1:18 by Rex Woodbury from New York.

Although not on a course that is certified just yet, Japanese elite marathon runner, Yuki Kawauchi who is known for his unconventional approach to running long distances, crushed the 1hr24 mark and ran 1:06:42. That is averaging 3:10/km or 18.96km/hr!

Looking for a new Garmin running watch?
Narrow down your choice with features you will use
GPS running watches are now the norm with the ‘bleep’ km autolap sound a common sound heard amongst training groups. We are all looking for more information, more stats and learn more about ourselves, which the latest Garmin watches are here to appease.

Garmin have been the market leader of GPS running watches for a few years now and with the advent of the Forerunner 630, 230 and 235 there is everything you could want in a watch. The question is how do you choose which is best for you?

Quick comparison:
Forerunner 630: The bee’s knee’s of running watches. If you are a runner who would like to use the ‘virtual pacer’ function to keep your training/racing under control this is the only watch offering your own personal training partner.

Forerunner 230: Boasts all the key features of the 630 without virtual pacer function. This includes recovery estimator, running cadence, heart rate and more.

Forerunner 235: Ideal for the runner who is tired of wearing a heart rate monitor on the chest but still wants all the features of the 230. The new 235 has built in heart rate measurement all on the wrist.

Confused or need some more advice? Ask one of our staff in store, we have more knowledge on running watches than an encyclopedia and can help you make the right choice.

Do’s & don’ts of post race recovery – by Steve Manning (coach)
Keep yourself injury free with these tips
Hard races can be the best training for improving performance as long as you have adequate recovery. Allowing your body time to recover after an event is crucial if you are looking to reduce your chance of injury, increase your performance and reduce the chance of ‘burnout’. The higher level of effort experienced during a race can cause physiological damage that can lead to muscle soreness and if ignored even injury.

A common misconception of some runners is to take time off completely as a ‘reward’ for putting in the effort. This can lead to muscles and tendons stiffening and ultimately upon return lead to injury. On the other hand some runners who have had a great race feel motivated and train too hard too soon without adequate recovery. Then there is the flipside after a poor result. Many will choose train hard immediately after an event in the search for improvement.

Whatever your result after your event, make sure you give yourself some time to recover. Active recovery is great and will enable your body to recover without stopping altogether.

Summary of post race recovery tips

– Minimum 1 week recovery for every 10km run
– Do not stop running completely and get back to routine ASAP
– Let your body and mind recover by doing some cross training
– Don’t push it too hard too soon after your event

Running 10km in thongs?

Posted on March 30, 2016October 19, 2021 by intraining

In February 2016 intraining Running Centre made a call out to the local running community in Brisbane for donations of old, yet still wearable condition running shoes. We were inundated with kindness and generosity and managed to put together a batch of running shoes to send over to those less fortunate in Papua New Guinea and Fiji.

So what happened to all the running shoes?

Read the story below from our international intraining club member, Pete Lane who assisted in the donation and processing of footwear to those who were searching for a happy run.

When did you last run 10 km in thongs? The answer is probably, “never ever”, as we all know what this would do to our knees, feet and hips!

Yet if you were Nayeem Mollah, a student from Bangladesh, whom intraining runner Pete Lane met in Nadi, Fiji in March, his answer was,
“I run 10 km in thongs all the time as I have no money to buy runners. I arrived from Bangladesh with only 7 kilo’s of luggage so I had no extra room for sports shoes.”

Nayeem was part of a group of the students who regularly ran and exercised in Fiji’s heat and humidity, Pete asked if he could join them. After the 10 km run that Nayeem half-walked and half-ran, Pete was obviously concerned what damage Nayeem would do to his feet if he kept running in thongs.

After a lot of planning and assistance, Nayeem and the other runners were delighted to receive running shoes on Saturday 5th March.

At the second run on Sunday 6th March, Nayeem turned up with his new runners, ready to go. This time a delighted, smiling Nayeem ran the whole way with Pete at his side!

Thanks again to intraining and the kindness of the Brisbane running community for donating footwear and spreading the joy of running with those less fortunate.

Chafe free running

Posted on March 1, 2016October 19, 2021 by intraining

Problems chafing?

Chafing can happen to the best of us, when we least expect it. Here are some tried-and-tested strategies to prevent chafing before it pains you.

If you’ve run long enough, certainly you’ve experienced a painful episode of chafing, where your skin is rubbed raw from the repetitive motion of running. Oftentimes, a chafing mishap happens to us once (and only once) before we learn our lesson and make sure our checklist to avoid this ever happening again.

Chafing is typically the result of consistent friction between skin and clothing, though it can also happen skin-to-skin. The result is skin rubbed raw, and in some cases, well beyond that. Due to the different apparel we wear, it seems men and women have different problem areas with a few common trouble spots.

Here’s a look at where chafing surfaces, how to treat it and how to prevent future occurrences from happening.

Thighs

A lubricant applied to your thighs before the run (we’re fond of BodyGlide) will help, but the problem could be in the shorts you’re wearing. If you’re noticing that a certain pair of shorts is always near the scene of the crime, try a different pair.

Says running coach Christine Hinton, who’s seen her fair share of chafing issues: “Certain strategies can help. If your upper thighs rub together, consider a pair of longer, tighter shorts.”

Nipples

Without safeguards in place, miles and miles of running can cause nipples to react horribly with a sweat-drenched top, rubbing them raw and in the worst cases, making them bleed (Google it if you dare). Races on cold mornings can further compound this problem.

This is widespread enough that there are products on the market to prevent chafing of the nipples including Bodyglide, Striderm and Skin Strong available at intraining. If you are looking for something more home-remedy like, then trusty bandaids can do the trick. Just remember to keep the nipples clear of hair, otherwise the post run removal can be just as painful!

TOP TIP: Avoid cotton shirts. They get wet and stay wet, and moist shirts are one of the main causes.

Armpits

Again, the armpits are an area with plenty of constant friction during the course of a long run, so it makes sense that chafing issues can occur here. Skin rubbing against a shirt, or on recently shaved armpit stubble, can cause quite a bit of pain – often unknown until you get in the shower – OUCH!! Remember to lube up with some Bodyglide under the arms as it is water resistant.

Men look away…

Sports Bra

The sports bra is also a common cause of chafing for women, typically happens on the shoulder straps, or on the band along the bottom of the bra. Bodyglide or Striderm are your friend and can avoid unsightly running wounds and prevent chafing.

Lady Parts

Avoid clothing that has exposed seams or moisture-collecting material. For women, that includes about anything your imagination can think of, front to back.

BodyGlide, or Striderm should be applied liberally on all areas you experience chafing. Take a some with you on longer runs to re-apply along the way.

Heart Rate Monitor

Much like the sports bra, a heart rate monitor strap can cause issues on longer runs.

Some Bodyglide or Skin Strong is the easiest prevention measure, but of course, another, more-expensive answer is to get rid of the strap. We have a fantastic range of strapless heart rate monitors available in store at intraining.

Good luck and we hope your next run is chafe free and fun.. enjoy that shower afterwards!

Safety tips

Posted on March 1, 2016October 19, 2021 by intraining

10 safety tips for runners this Autumn

As the warmer months have come to an end in Queensland, it is time to start thinking about increasing your awareness of your surroundings – especially if you run in the early morning or evenings when it is dark.

Here are 10 tips to keep you safe this season

1. Always run against traffic
It’s easier to avoid cars if you can see them coming. You want to be able to see headlights of oncoming cars. Avoid busy roads and those with no shoulders or sidewalks.

2. Choose a well-lit route
It might not be your favorite route to run, but the most well-lit route is your safest choice. Oncoming cars see you better, and you’ll always be able to see the road and avoid potential hazards.

3. Be visible
If you’re running in the early morning, night or at twilight, ensure you wear white, yellow, orange clothes or other bright coloured clothes. Avoid wearing black and dark colours so you are easily seen. Also, make sure you have reflective gear on. Most running shoes and clothing these days have reflective material (see Asics Lite-show) but it doesn’t hurt to add more. If you can, a running light is a very inexpensive way to be seen (lightweight flashing lights are available at intraining) by all users of the road.

4. Always have identification on you
Take some form of identification with you at all times, in case of emergency. We recommend obtaining a copy of your drivers licence and having this laminated or a simple piece of paper with emergency contact details and next of kin. This can be easily stored in your pocket or within a lightweight running belt (see spiBELT available in store). Make sure it is not too hidden as you want it to be easily found should something happen.

5. Vary your routes and times
Potential attackers can study runners’ routines and loom in a particularly dark or isolated area. Don’t make yourself an easy target by always running the same route at the same time. Change it up, not only will it be safer, but it will keep things interesting and ensure your body has some variation.

6. Run with a buddy
As the saying goes, strength and safety in numbers. If possible, try to run with a friend and seldom run alone. Look for running groups that run at night (see intraining run club), if that’s the best time for you to run. If you do run alone, make sure someone knows the route you’ll be running and approximately how long you will be out.

7. Carry your mobile phone
You’ll be able to contact police immediately if something happens to you or you notice anything out of the ordinary. intraining have some great products that are comfortable to run with and can hold a variety of items, including mobile phones, gels, keys etc..

8. Watch out for bikes and runners
Even if you’re running on a path or in a park with no cars, always be aware of other runners and cyclists. Before you stop or turn around, make sure your path is clear. This advice applies to running in both daylight and darkness.

9. Ditch the music
Try to avoid wearing headphones when running in the dark. Cutting off your sense of hearing leaves you at a disadvantage. You can’t hear oncoming cars, cyclists, dogs, or any other potential threats. If you absolutely have to run with music or some other distraction, keep the volume very low or run with one earbud out so you can still hear what’s happening around you.

10. Common sense
If you feel that you’re entering an unsafe situation, use common sense and run to a safe location. Call police if you notice anything suspicious.

We hope you enjoy the cooler months ahead. It is a fantastic time to run in Queensland with cool and crisp mornings and evenings. Keep safe and enjoy your next run.

Love 2 Run February 2016 news

Posted on February 25, 2016October 19, 2021 by intraining

intraining’s monthly Love 2 Run e-News – February 2016

Goodbye sticky summer and welcome to the first day of Autumn in 2016. As the days gradually get cooler, running becomes easier on your body – which is always a welcome relief. Unfortunately, with the territory daylight hours decrease and we soon find ourselves out running under the stars. Make sure you are prepared for the running season ahead with some great safety tips, weight training and some events to increase motivation.

In this this issue:
– Avoid the dreaded chafe: Effective gear & tips for chafe free running
– Stay safe at night: 10 safety tips every runner should know
– Weight training for runners: Stay injury free with 3 great exercises
– Brisbane Marathon Festival: Make 2016 your marathon year
– Twilight Running Festival: Don’t delay! Entry fees increase tonight.

Did you know running facts – Part 22
Trouble sleeping at night? Maybe all you need is a twilight run to get a great night of sleep. In a study at the University of South Carolina, volunteers ran at a moderate to high intensity for between one and three hours and were able to drift off to a deep, relaxing sleep a mere half-hour later.

Contradicting many doubters, evening exercise doesn’t disrupt sleep in most people and sleep quality can actually improve following exercise, says head researcher at University of South Carolina.

Perhaps runners prefer the romantic lighting of the moon over the sun.

Stay healthy, keep active and have a happy run!

Ouch…did someone say chafe?
Fear not – Keep those ‘places’ chafe free
Chafing shouldn’t be something that we have to deal with as runners. Thankfully there are a range of fantastic products which can rid us of the dreaded post chafe shower.

What is your chafe solution?
– Powder is effective in dealing with the build-up of blisters and hot spots on your feet while also reducing friction and wicking away any moisture.

– Creams are effective in preventing friction caused by clothing, such as nipple abrasion or groin/thigh chafe.

– Roll on balms reduce skin on skin friction, offer water resistant features and usually non-petroleum based, so it won’t harm your clothes.

At intraining we stock a wide range of anti-chafe products, such as Bodyglide, Skin Strong, and Brisbane based company Striderm. Speak with our friendly staff, remember we are all runners so are happy to share our feedback on what has worked best for us.

Weight training for runners – by Doug James (physiotherapist)
Three key exercises to keep you injury free
Distance runners can benefit from a certain amount of weight training. Targeting key muscle groups can assist in running form improvement and performance without adding unnecessary muscle bulk.

The key to weight training is using a suitable amount of weight for the ideal number of repetitions. For runners, this weight should be one that is comfortable to lift for at least 80% of the set and become slightly harder towards the end.

1. Squats: can help develop stronger legs and glutes.

2. Lunges: helpful for improving hip stability and leg strength.

3. Tip toe raise: the slow lowering component of this exercise helps to improve Achilles tendon strength.

Donate old running shoes

Posted on February 9, 2016October 19, 2021 by intraining

Donate your old running shoes

We are calling on the generosity of the local running community to assist with donating your old running shoes to those less fortunate in a very remote area of Wasu Kabwum in Papua New Guinea (PNG).

Wasu Kabwum is a rather remote area of PNG that is not accessible by road. As a result the various communities there (population probably getting close to 100k now) don’t have very good access to basic commodities. Life is a lot simpler. Access to the city is via a 20min plane trip (mostly unaffordable), 10 hour+ boat trips that are unreliable or a 3 day walk over the mountains.

Whilst the process of shipping the container of footwear is typically a very slow process (it might take 6 months for them to get it out of the wharf and then another couple months to get it on a barge to site), the locals really appreciate any footwear we can provide.

Share the joy of running with those less fortunate. Please ensure your shoes have laces and are in wearable condition.

Donations can be made at:

Ph. 07 3367 3088

(DONATIONS REQUIRED BEFORE 1 MARCH 2016)

In the long run

Posted on January 28, 2016October 19, 2021 by intraining

The long run element of the training is designed to improve endurance and to build a strong capillary bed in the muscles that work most when running. The benefit of this is to have as many blood vessels as possible, bringing oxygen to your muscle cells. If you go too fast on the long runs you will lose this effect and wear yourself out. Running fast is taken care of in the Tuesday and Thursday sessions.

Long runs should be done at a pace where you can carry on a conversation while running.

We share the organisation of our long runs with our good friends at Brisbane Road Runners. We are lucky to have our association with them as they provide a timed and measured course. While the runs we organise take you to some of the scenic parts of Brisbane, the BRRC crew provide a consistency which allow us to benchmark and monitor our running progress.

Fuel your run – by Liz Lovering (dietitian)
Carbohydrate and fat … is there a ‘best’?
Our daily food choices provide us with the energy to move and although many nutrients are involved in energy production the two main ones are carbohydrate and fat.

Glucose (obtained from carbohydrate foods) is a very efficient fuel as it can provide energy quickly, without oxygen or when oxygen is a limiting factor (high intensity running). However once we slow down and more oxygen becomes available the contribution of fat as a fuel increases. These different energy systems work… click here to read the full article ‘Fuel Your Run’ in the January edition of ‘From the Sole’ newsletter.
