@runfargirl hung onto her last interval for as long as she should before failing! The results were beyond interesting and not at all what I was expecting. Sarah will add specific training to her weekly schedule to stress the factor that limits her performance. Her training will look very different next week! . . . #womensrunning #limiter #garagegym #treadmilltest #treadmill #womenrunningcommunity #motherrunner #womenrunning #mountainrunner #igrunner #newenglandrunner #runlikeagirl #running

It was an extremely interesting day in the garage gym. Muscle oxygen monitoring is sweaty business! Here is an incredibly talented runner I work with. I now know what limits her performance so she will incorporate two new training methods to stress her weaknesses. Can I tell you all how much I love my job?! . . . #runsmart #runstrong #performance #athlete #womenrunning #musclemonitoring #running #runnersofig #trainforlife #strengthtrainingforrunners #correctiveexercise #trainsmartnothard #runnerscommunity

Want to learn a little more about muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2)? Let’s focus on the green line. When you start a training unit, the oxygen to your working muscles (in this case rectus femoris) dips. The stored oxygen is quickly used and then your body will respond to the demand by supplying more oxygen. You can see after the dip, the green line starts to trend up. This was a recovery effort on my @elliptigo_usa. If i were planning on recovery but SmO2 had a downward trend (desaturation), then what I thought was recovery was actually a mini-workout. Runners make this mistake all the time on their recovery days. Let’s look at what happens when I do a few sprints. SmO2 drops drastically because my supply is not meeting my demand. As soon as I stop, SmO2 shoots up higher than it was previously. Now my supply is much higher than my demand. This was a longer recovery effort but it highlights the importance of the right warm up prior to a race, game or workout. After my sprints, my SmO2 is at it’s highest level and stays there for many minutes of just sitting at the end of the session. This is when I should start my race (if this were a warm up). Next week will be a busy and sweaty week in the garage gym. I have many runners coming in for testing. I can’t wait to share the results! #moxy #smo2 #performance #runsmart #trainer #trainsmart #running

These #trailsisters finished the Lake Sonoma 50 miler yesterday! Feeling proud of my girls! ❤️ . #Repost @aromani ・・・ 50 MILES! 10,000 + ft elevation gain. That was hard 🤪Waking up this morning with a sore body and wrecked feet. But reminiscing about the day and proud of myself (and @christinaklayko) for crossing that finish line! . Thank you coach @kimnedeau for preparing us for this day and @christinaklayko for being the best trail sister and training partner! Thanks for all the support @cklayko and @ejdigest (1st time crewing and he nailed it! Took such good care of me at the aid stations). Thankful for the BEST friends who came out to cheer me on . Lastly, grateful for the amazing scenery and a healthy strong body that carried me all that way. Love this sport and community 💕🏔🏃🏻‍♀️#lakesonoma50 #relentless #ls50 #trailrunning #ultrarunner . . . #mountainrunner #mountainrunning #trailrunner #trails #womenrunning #runlikeagirl
