Training - RUNNING Mon, 05 Jan 2009 08:10:26 +0100 http://werunsanantonio.com/run-a-tab-2009-is-underway-2 The first pub run for 2009 has come and gone. The next schedule run is February 6th, 2009. Thank you to all the pub runners that made 2008 a success! Run A Tab in 2009 is looking to improve and grow. This year we will highlight a non-profit organization every month and collect donations at Drink Bar to go toward that organization. For January the pub runners donated $50 that will go to The Brighton School which helps children with special needs. Thank you to all who donated:) Please run and party safe.

As I think back and reminisce about how this year has gone I am amazed at how much change we have seen at every level. Issues with the economy, politics, the environment and our own personal well being have created a greater sense of awareness among all of us. Well, at least I like to think so. I want to spend some time reflecting on 2008. My hope is that we look back at what we have done or what we didn’t do. I want to stir up feelings or memories of good times, hard times, ups and downs. And as we near the finish line of 2008 we continue to stay on course, cross that finish line with friends, family, and the knowledge that we kept moving forward all year long; all life long. For you marathoners and half marathoners that doesn’t sound all too unfamiliar. The way we train for our endurance events is a reflection of how we live, how we love, and how we fight for what is important. We train for starting lines, not finish lines.

Millions of runners take to the trails every day for an adventure quite unmatched by running on asphalt. I have met many trail runners over the years and many of them only equate escaping to an off road run as “real” running. As for myself, well, running is running. I don’t consider myself a trail runner, however, I love spending time out on the road less traveled and always include trail running as part of my training.

We practice yoga in bare feet which helps to strengthen the muscles that support the arches encouraging improved weight bearing and optimal structural alignment that can reduce muscle and joint injury risk in running activities. 2. Rhythmic breathing in yoga practices can help improve cellular oxygenation and promote relaxation. When practiced during a difficult run, rhythmic breathing can help a runner improve focus concentration, possibly to overcome fatigue and promote better running.
