Run Yoga Run

Check out this routine designed to release hamstring, quad, and hip flexor tension. Some knee and shin therapy thrown in for good measure too. If you must run, do some yoga too!

“Yoga is for flexible people.  And since I can’t bend like a pretzel I guess that leaves me out.” In fact, tight, inflexible runners and ‘wanna be’ runners stand to gain the most from many of the classical Hatha yoga postures.  Although one might think yoga and running are diabolically opposed to one another on the exercise spectrum, the two make an excellent marriage of strength and flexibility.

Yoga’s internal focus will draw your attention to what is going on with your body rather than be externally focused on winning or finishing the race.  Runners, and any athlete for that matter, benefit greatly from practicing yoga by building and balancing strength, increasing range of motion, and training the body and mind to work synergistically.

Run Yoga Run is designed from my own experience as a runner and years of practicing yoga. Each week the focus is designed as mini-workshop – working progressively to create greater function in the body from the shoulders and hips to the knees and SI Joints all the while learning to let go of needing to ‘get somewhere’!  Yoga is not intended to replace your usual physical training but rather complement it. Improvement comes with time, patience and practice.

Classes are small (maximum 8 students), enabling a free-flow discussion about function, form and alignment.  To benefit from the experience, practicing at home is expected.  At the end of the 10-week series, you will have learned a yoga sequence that will serve you wherever you are in your athletic endeavours.

Yoga has been lauded by not only runners but athletes around the globe including golfers, cyclists, hockey players, and swimmers, to name a few.  These are some of the key benefits for athletes who practice yoga:

Improved range of motion and muscle tone

Increased flexibility, strength and stamina

Reduced stress and tension

Able to ‘lean in’ to challenges with greater ease

An ability to stay focused and balanced

To become more relaxed and refreshed

Late-night snacks could pack on the pounds: study

Late-night snacks could pack on the pounds: study

Midnight raids on the refrigerator may have worse consequences than indigestion — a study in mice boosts the theory that when you eat affects whether the calories go to your hips or get burned off.

Mice fed during the daytime — when they normally would be sleeping — gained more weight than mice fed at night, Fred Turek of Northwestern University in Illinois and colleagues found.

They ended up weighing 7.8 percent more than night-fed mice. This held even though the mice were fed identical amounts of food and exercised the same amount, they said in the study published on Friday in the International Journal of Obesity.

“Simply modifying the time of feeding alone can greatly affect body weight,” they wrote.

“Mice fed a high-fat diet only during the ‘right’ feeding time (i.e., during the dark) weigh significantly less than mice fed only during the time when feeding is normally reduced (i.e., during the light).”

The finding might help people trying to lose weight, the researchers said.

It may be possible to simply change the timing of meals and snacks, they said. That could mean eating more in the daytime and cutting back on the late-night ice cream.
