Autumn Equinox 15k Leader Board!

...and after the official tally at the 2012 Autumn Equinox 15k, Jessica Farr took 3rd in her age group. Brent took fifth in age group, 3rd in the Clydsdale category (hopefully that's the last Clydsdale registration card I have to fill out). Apparently online registration is required to get your official times posted, boo hiss on White Rock Racing for that. But the race was well conducted and it was a great morning to be out in it. Run on Bipedals!

Dynamic Warmup and Strength Training for Runners

The second video in the series talks about plyometric jump squats and the importance of having strong gluts in running. 6 sets of 15 squat jumps twice a week is recommended. The fourth video in this series demonstrates the plyometric jump lunge, which is pretty neat and looks to be an excellent exercise for strength training.
