Training the Core to Improve Multi-Directional Speed
Posted On 1/1/2007 9:32:13 AM by Sandy
Athletic speed is such an amazing fixation. There is no mistaking it when speed is displayed on the playing field. Those who own it are seemingly moving around effortlessly, and those who don’t appear to be standing still.
What makes some athletes incredibly fast where others struggle to get out of their own way? Certainly, genetics play an important role, but I think there is much more to it tha

Train Properly with a Heart Rate Monitor
Posted On 9/23/2006 9:45:37 AM by Sandy
Using a Heart Rate Monitor takes the guesswork out of your runs. A heart rate monitor not only gives you permission to run slower, but also tells you when you are not running hard enough.

What we now know is that to reach your running goals you must train at the right intensity. To enable us to train at the right intensity, we need to know what our heart rate is and follow a proper training program with a mix of speed or interval workouts, tempo runs, recovery runs and longer runs all done in your target heart rate zone.
