Moms on the Run National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, regularly shares training tips regarding strengthening our running, fitness and health. Today she discusses hills! If you run with us at Moms on the Run, you know that hills are an important part of our workout. Hills are a great way to build speed and endurance and help you become a stronger, more efficient runner. Listen in as Carrie talks about proper running form for hills. Moms on the Run National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, regularly shares training tips to help us strengthen our running, fitness and health. This week, she wants to share a quick tip: just breathe. While we're running, proper breathing form is so important. Try to control your breathing by taking big, deep breaths. That's also important to remember during stressful moments in our lives, as well. Moms on the Run National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, regularly shares training tips to help us improve our running, fitness and health. Today, Carrie discusses stretches we can do for our hamstrings, those important posterior thigh muscles in between the hip and the knee. An article by Runner's World stated: "Many runners have quadriceps muscles (on the top of the thigh) that are 30 to 40 percent stronger than their hamstrings (under the thigh)." The quadriceps help propel our legs froward, the hamstrings help pull our legs back. It is important to work and stretch our hamstrings to help the body maintain it's full motion. Grab a foam roller and a towel or rope and listen in as Carrie shows us some easy stretches.  Ready for an adventure? No planes, trains or automobiles allowed on this trip.
