Training Tip Tuesday with Carrie: DIY Ice Cups

9/25/2018

0 Comments

 
This blog is the third in a series where our National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, is bringing tips for injury prevention and strength training to help improve our running performance. Today Carrie shares a great tip to help relieve sore muscles. For more expert advice from Carrie, check out our first annual fall running retreat the end of October!​ 

As busy women, sometimes taking care of ourselves is one of the things that gets lost in the shuffle. Here is one easy way to try and prevent injury or help reduce pain and inflammation: DIY ice cups. Fill a Dixie cup about 3/4 of the way with water and freeze. Once ready to use, tear off the top of the cup. Use the ice to massage your muscles or sore area by making circles and adding slight pressure to that area. Do this for about 5-10 minutes three times a day.

Training Tip Tuesday with Carrie: Pigeon Pose

9/18/2018

0 Comments

 
This blog is the second in a series where our National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, will be bringing tips for injury prevention and strength training to help improve our running performance. Today Carrie shares a great stretch to relieve our tight hip flexors and gluteus muscles. For more expert advice from Carrie, check out our first annual fall running retreat this October!​ 

If you are like most women, your hip flexors and glutes are extremely tight. This may not be a result of our workouts, but from our normal everyday activities. Our glutes and hip flexors have become shortened and tight from sitting at our desks or driving to and from work, grocery shopping, or those family road trips that we all love to do. Therefore, stretching a bit before and after activity is great. The pigeon pose is an easy stretch that will hit both targeted areas. Simply hold the pose for about 10-15 seconds and repeat 3 times on each side. You can shift your weight to find the right angle to meet your body's needs. ​

Training Tip Tuesday with Carrie: Towel Stretch

9/11/2018

This blog is the first in a series where our National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, will be bringing tips for injury prevention and strength training to help improve our running performance. Today Carrie shares with us one of her favorite stretches. For more expert advice from Carrie, check out our first annual fall running retreat this October!​ 

"I love the towel/shirt/rope stretch not only for my hamstrings and calves but because my knees always feel better after I have stretched the backs of my legs. Your knees take a lot of pounding and if your stride shortens because of the backs of your legs being tight, your quads then go into overdrive and can cause the kneecap to pull just slightly. The towel stretch is a simple assisted way to help you stretch on your own and get a little more range of motion while you are at it." Follow this video and repeat the stretch 3-6 times on each leg, holding for 5-6 seconds each time.  There are a lot of ways to stretch with assistance, so stayed tuned for other way to use the towel/shirt/rope!
