Training Tip with Carrie: Intervals

5/24/2022

0 Comments

 
Intervals. They're a huge part of our training at all levels at Moms on the Run. Today, National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, talks about the importance of intervals. An interval running plan alternates between periods of intense, fast paces followed by less intense recovery periods. This style of running aims to maximize your aerobic fitness while minimizing your overall time spent exercising. 

There are many benefits to moving your body, including:
  • better capacity to use oxygen
  • lower heart rate
  • lower blood pressure
  • lower risk of cardiovascular disease
Interval training in particular — compared to traditional jogging — may also come with some extra dope benefits, such as:
  • improved cardio-respiratory fitness
  • increased body fat burned
  • reduced workout time with similar results
  • improvements in max aerobic capacity
  • increased use of fat for energy
  • increased insulin sensitivity 
  • more muscle fibers worked
  • more calories burned

​

For less than $10 a week, you will receive regular inspiration and support from our Moms on the Run coaches and teammates. Your entry in this challenge will include all of the following:
  • our month of miles tee in sizes XS-3XL; choice of two colors!
  • a mileage tracking sheet (optional; you may also track in your favorite GPS app)
  • weekly check-in posts and regular motivation on our national Facebook page 
  • fun weekly challenges to spice up your walking and running miles
  • the chance to win prizes!
  • local accountability and incentives may be available; varies by location

While this is a personal challenge, we'll also be tracking our total miles as one big team! Let's see how far we can travel together!

Training Tip with Carrie: Stretch Series Part 3 - Hip Flexors

5/17/2022

0 Comments

 
Join Moms on the Run National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, for part 3 of our stretch series. Today's stretch focuses on our hip flexors, a group of muscles in the area where the thighs meet the torso. Tight hip flexors can cause hip and lower back pain, especially in runners. And because of the role that they play in lifting the legs, tight hips can interfere with a runner’s progress. Extended periods sitting at a desk or in a car can also contribute to tightness in the hip flexors. Grab your mat or our final stretch!
