Hi Runners!
Great work last week with interim “re-testing” of VO2max, power output, and all the rest!
For the seminar this week, I wanted to share some information about “Power Foods” that will help us all choose some of the most nutrient-rich options to keep our bodies and minds strong over these next two weeks.
The MP3 audio below is from a recent continuing education seminar that I gave to the fitness trainers at Treehouse Athletic Club. I also have two documents – the slides for the lecture (so you can follow along) and an article with additional details about each of the power foods that I talk about. Enjoy!

July 23 will be here before you know it and the Big Mountain Trail at Snowbird is a tough one! A few participants in the study ran it as a test this weekend and the 13.5-mile route took them around 3 hours (all strong runners) – so if 3 hours on the trails sounds more scary than fun to you, be sure to sign up for the 7.5-mile option.
