Endurance Conference

trainsmart — Sat, 12 Feb 2011 20:51:22 +0000

On April 2, at The Denver Athletic Club, Dimity McDowell, Author of Run Like a Mother: How to Get Moving and Not Lose Your Family, Job or Sanity, will be presenting to a captive audience of endurance minded Denverites.

Three-years-ago McDowell and Bowen Shea were hired by Runner’s World to write about the 2007 Nike Women’s Marathon. Their blog about their training and the subsequent article in Runner’s World, were a huge hit with running moms all over the country.

“People identify with Sara and I because we’re in the same life situations,” McDowell said. People started to recognize the two women at races, and McDowell and Bowen Shea soon realized they had enough material for a book.

“Run Like a Mother” offers personal stories, advice, and humorous anecdotes for moms who run. And of course, like a marathon, it’s 26.2 chapters long.

Summer’s answer to skiing…

Cycling. Lookout Mountain, High Grade, Chatfield–familiar terms to most Coloradans, at least they should be. Lungs burning, legs panting, and you know you are alive.

The hard truth is that the better shape you are in the more fun it is. And once you have achieved great fitness, it is easier to maintain than it is to improve. That’s good for news for the conditioned, bad news for the rest of us.

Here’s a quick hit-list of ‘must haves’ in regards to cycling fitness:

Core strength

Injury resistance

Patience

Willingness to work
