Alameda Runners – Get After It!

Congrats to Fluid, which recently started its own professional cycling team.

Here’s a tidbit from an announcement I received in my e-mail:

The mission of Team FLUID is to develop club level cyclists into skilled racers through an environment of encouragement, coaching, and ethical participation in sport.”

Team Fluid Las Vegas is the brain-child of Nathan Chaszeyka and Melinda Sloan who own a performance coaching company named Endurance Addiction. The team is supported by many great sponsors, and we encourage you to visit their Facebook page by CLICKING HERE, and becoming a fan!

The team is started racing two weeks ago and is already exceeding performance expectations!

I have a bad habit of not properly pacing myself when I’m out on a solo run.  I definitely can log miles on my own, but I feel more comfortable when I have at least one person running with me.

In the March edition of the Runner’s World magazine, the following advice is offered:

Starting out too fast can lead to a sudden increase in muscle waste products that can make you feel sluggish.  Head out slowly – and remember, no pace is too slow.

Ah.

“No pace is too slow” is something I need to remember each and every time I head out on a training run.  Hopefully this little tip serves as a friendly reminder for others who also have a hard  time keeping the first few minutes under control.
