The Blonde Runner

If you have never participated in the Wasatch Back relay, I highly recommend it. I was fortunate enough to be in the company of fantastic members of South Davis Road Runners group this weekend. What makes this 181 mile race from Logan to Park City so great you might ask? How could a grueling and challenging race be fun? For me, challenge is fun. But what makes this race so exceptional to me is the sense of camaraderie and team effort. In all of my years of racing (hundreds of races) I have never experience a race with such a great sense of enjoying the challenge of running and doing your best. Teams cheered for each other and decorated their vehicles. This race is certainly not about winning – it’s about the journey! It was truly a highlight for me this year! I look forward to next year, and hope to enjoy it with the same fantastic people! You guys are “superstars”! http://www.ragnarrelay.com/

Have you ever watched a race broadcast on television and marveled at the effortless grace of a professional runner striding out sub-five-minute miles, as if they were out for an easy jog in the park? Contrast this to the general masses seen pounding out miles struggling to stay in shape.

Do you ever wonder how it seems so effortless for professional runners?

We are all born with a certain running style and degree of efficiency. However, proper run mechanics or form can be developed and improved upon. Professionals perfect technique through training and discipline. Through the use of form and biomechanical analysis, inefficiencies can be identified and changes can be made to help improve overall running economy and prevent injury, making running easier and seemingly more effortless.  Call to see when the next analysis is scheduled - Lora at 801-299-1601.
