Run April 1st or 2nd, 2023

 Anyone interested in a morning running out by Tuttle Lake this weekend (April 1 or 2, 2023) contact me with the date, time available, and the distance you would like to run.

Feeling Good!

 

If you haven’t gone for a run yet day, get outside and do it. The sun is shining, and the winds are low. Shorts, shoes, and a long sleeve T-shirt are all you need for today. Nothing makes a person feel better about themselves than to get outside and go for a run on a beautiful spring day. Enjoy!

Beautiful day for a run!

This morning was a refreshing surprise from the past weeks' weather. I had a beautiful run this morning along Tuttle Cove Lake. The air was a cool 59 degrees F and skies were clear. It was nice to see the sun after a week of rain, clouds, storms, and flooding. I enjoyed running 12 miles along the roads by the lake. The road at the end of Tuttle Cove Park was covered with water in places from the flooding, but I was able to run around it in the grass. Saw lots of birds including white pelicans fishing in the flooded areas. There was even a bald eagle soaring above. Made my day when a young boy about 7 years old riding his bike in the park asked me if I was a kid. I told him I was old enough to be his grandfather. Have a great day and go for a run.

Running outside this week?

With all the rain, storms, and flooding we have had that past few days in Manhattan, KS and predictions for it to continue through this weekend, please put safety first. Please be safe and don't run for at least 30 minutes after the last lightning strike. You shouldn't run outside if you hear thunder or see lightning. Keep in mind that after the storms, drivers may be distracted by the flooding and water from other vehicles covering their windshield. Try to run on sidewalk when ever possible and wear bright colored clothing to increase your visibility. Avoid running at night in the rain. Be safe!

Tip of the day. If your running shoes get wet, try removing the sock liner and stuffing the shoe with news paper. This will help your shoes dry out faster.

Abstract

The advantage of ingesting fluids during endurance exercise lasting < 90 min has recently been challenged, but literature confirming or disputing this case is limited, particularly for female athletes. This study examined the effects of consuming water versus mouth rinsing with water during a running time trial. Recreationally active female runners (n = 19) completed two, 15-km time trials on an outdoor course in temperate environment (~20ºC; 87% RH) separated by at least one week in a randomized cross-over study design. Participants consumed 355 ml of water (DW) during their run or mouth rinsed (MR) with water from a handheld water bottle every 3 km for 5 s with physiological, perceptual, and affective variables assessed. DW or MR did not affect completion time (79.8 ± 8.1 min and 79.2 ± 8.2 min, p= 0.23), HR (p = 0.35), or RPE (p = 0.73), respectively. Sweat losses were greater (p = 0.03) for DW: 1.47 ± 0.34 L compared to MR: 1.28 ± 0.27 L; however, thirst sensation was not significantly different for MR: 6.7 ± 1.4 compared to DW: 6.2 ± 1.6. A significant effect was exhibited for time (p < 0.01) but not condition for Feeling Scale and Felt Arousal Scale or Energetic and Tense Arousal. Carrying only one smaller fluid container for MR versus a larger or multiple water bottles/backpack systems used for water consumption can reduce fluid load carried during extended duration runs without altering performance or affect for runs of 1.0-1.5 h. MR may also be beneficial to decrease thirst without ingesting fluid for runners that limit exercise fluid consumption because of gastrointestinal discomfort concerns.

Run for life!

A new published research article entitled, "Life-long endurance running is associated with reduced

glycation and mechanical stress in connective tissue", supports my philosophy of "run for life". More evidence for a better quality of live and longevity, run for life. http://download.springer.com/static/pdf/920/art%253A10.1007%252Fs11357-014-9665-9.pdf?auth66=1405014836_c82b6759725a1787d58e9776a8975368&ext=.pdf
