RSVP here if you plan on joining us. We will dedicate some time to stretching afterwards! It’s a fabulous way to start your Saturday!

In case of rain, we will redirect the workout to FIU. Check https://bootcampnews.net for updates.

WHO? Sole Sisters is the name of our running group and any member in our Elite Program is a SOLE SISTER. All you have to do is show up!

WHAT? The running group is for anyone who wants to increase their cardiovascular endurance, improve their running form and speed and/or get an extra workout in during the week. It’s a fun way to start your weekend and an opportunity to explore different parts of the city. We run anywhere from 2-6 miles. Everyone runs at their own pace and we meet at the end.

WHEN? Sole Sisters meet every Saturday morning at 7am.

It’s cold!!!   At least by Miami standards it is….but don’t let the weather stop you from getting those workouts in!

What a fun and busy weekend we had.

On Friday night, Coach Jason won by knockout in the most entertaining and one-sided fight!  It was a spectacular end to the night.  Coach Jason moves to 12-0 and gets one step closer to getting into the UFC!  Here’s a clip of the last 22 seconds if you missed it:

As most of you know from experience, incline running is a lot harder than running on a flat surface.

For one, hill running increases oxygen consumption considerably.  (I’m sure you’ve discovered this as you are huffing and puffing uncontrollably on your way to the top.)
How much more?  “An athlete running at an easy 10 min/mile pace has an estimated oxygen consumption of 36 mlO2/kg/min, where running the same speed on a 10% grade (a grade of 100% = 45 degree angle) increases oxygen consumption to 50 mlO2/kg/min. That’s almost a 40% increase in energy expenditure!”

Running on a flat surface, requires energy for horizontal work. The extra energy needed to lift the body vertically against gravity accounts for this extra energy expenditure.

Now moving on to the locomotive muscles, the change in slope puts the foot into severe dorsiflexion,

stressing the gastrocnemius, soleus, (calf muscles) and plantar fascia (sole of foot). The trunk also leans forward, placing more stress on the hamstrings, glutes and back extensors.

And that’s only when going up.  Going down is another story…
Running downhill would seem easier, but it requires control.  Your muscles are working eccentrically (the muscles are developing tension and lengthening at the same time) during the “braking” action by the anterior tibialis (shin muscles) on the lower leg, and the quadriceps on the thigh.  Eccentric muscle actions cause muscle damage and are the cause of post exercise muscle soreness, a.k.a. that bittersweet pain we crave after each workout.

So there you have it.

And on that note, we will visit our beautiful Key Biscayne bridge this Saturday, Jan 19 to better understand these scientific findings, lol!!
