Say goodbye to fat

Say goodbye to fat and hello to lean muscle tissue.  You can see from this picture of fat and muscle that the muscle tissue is much more appealing.  Learn how to eat to lose the fat and maintain lean muscle tissue and fuel properly for your event in the Endurance Nutrition Class, Wed. April 24, 7-8:30 p.m.  Email lora@blonderunner.com to learn how to reserve a spot.  Limited spots.

I find that a lot of people know a lot less about nutrition thatn they think they do.  The fast is “ya don’t know what you don’t know.”  Nutrition is very important especially the longer distance event you are participating in.  If you want to get some specifics on what to do for your half marathon/marathon or triathlon event this will be a helpful class for you.  Please share with a friend or family member.  I’d love to teach you what I have learned over the 27 years I have competed.

“When I did my first race, in 2008; it was an open water swim sprint distance triathlon. I averaged about 9:00/mi on the run and I did a 750 m swim in a little over 25:00. Three years later, I joined TBR and started being coached by Coach Lora. I got faster. I did Bear Lake Brawl Half in 2010. I finished in 6:11:31 The next year, I did the exact same race (after a few months of coaching) and finished in 5:21:00.
Compare my first race to a sprint I did last year (2012) the 750 m swim took a little over 15:00, and I averaged 6:50/mi in the run). Coaching helps.”  ~ Chris, TBR team members since 2011

“Running and triathlons have changed my life in no way I could ever imagine.” ~ Logan, joined the TBR team in 2012

Before

                   After

“I weighed around 280 pounds at this point and was tired of the way I looked. I got into running pretty heavily and would only run a mile or two at a time and I hated it but I was seeing results. I lost 50 pounds pretty quickly.  Someone at worked was talking about running and half marathons. I figured I would give it a go. So then on my first 5 mile training run I completely fell in love with running. I kept at it and then weight continued to just fall off. Clothes quit fitting and that was nice. During peak racing times I shoot for around 165-170. Last year (2012) I got down to 170 and was super light and what I call fast.

While being a big dude I always had a spot in my heart for an Ironman. Thinking I never would be able to do one as I was in no condition and didn’t think I would ever be able to do one. I would watch Kona every year as it was on NBC and looked forward to it. So I signed up for the Utah Half last year and talked to a TBR team member, Rachel (above) on twitter. She told me about the team and how I should do more than just jump right into a 70.3 without ever doing one.  So I joined the team and fell in love with tri’s.  Running and triathlons have changed my life in no way I could ever imagine. I still look in the mirror and see that big guy from time to time but I know he isn’t there. Since I lost all of my weight away from home, I sometimes run into people that do not recognize me at all. That still feels good. I know I will never go back to the way I was. I can never not see myself running or doing triathlons now.”  ~ Logan, joined the TBR team in 2012

Numbers don’t lie!

One of my athletes reported a decrease in his body fat

percent from 16% to 9% after being a

part of the TBR program.

I am thrilled for his progress.

Great results!  ~ Chad, joined TBR 2012

The Biggest Loser – Vote for Jackson as the third finalist

I am a fan of The Biggest Loser.  I think it has inspired many American’s to take care of their health and get active.  I love that they have shed light on the child obesity problem we are now facing and have empowered child ambassadors to help speak out about the problem.  We need to do more to help our children.  This has been a great season.  I am a big fan of Danni and love her gracious and sincere attitude.  Many of them have really made some great and lasting (I believe) changes.  It’s down to the wire and the season is almost over.  It’s time to vote for the third finalist.  I have voted for Jackson, he’s from Layton and I’d love for you to also show him our love and support.  He’s has been through a lot and I’ve love to see how he now knows he is worth taking care of himself.  Please give him your vote.  You can vote up to ten times.
