http://www.health.com/health/gallery/0,,20436269,00.html Working out By Amanda Gardner If you’re in pain, there's a temptation to skip exercising. But exercise can often help reduce pain and improve your quality of life. That doesn’t mean it’s easy. The good news is that you don’t have to run a marathon to get back to the business of life. “Everybody can do something,” says Perry Fine, MD, a board member at the American Pain Foundation. Exercise "does actually allow people not only to reduce their perception of pain but to overcome limited functioning.” Just remember to pace yourself and consult a physical therapist for advice. Here are 10 types of exercise that can help get you moving. Click the link above for the whole article. In essence you could 1. Walk, 2. Swim, 3. Yoga, 4. Tia Chi, 5. Pilates, 6. Simple Stretching, 7. Light Weight and Strength Training, 8. Sex, 9. Golfing, and 10. Aerobic Activities... Add Comment GFR - Good Form Running 02/13/2012

ZOutlet is on it's way!!! 02/09/2012
We had our meeting today and the room was full of positive energy! We have a lot of work to do, but it's looking like we'll have some fantastic clothing to sell, soon! Keep on watching for these deals to come...I've created a page http://www.zrunning.com/zoutlet.html where we'll be posting the deals. ZRunning Clothing Line...?? 02/08/2012
We're meeting tomorrow with a clothing company to talk business. We're planning on taking on some of their last year's model clothing they have in stock to see if there is a way to bring less expensive clothing to our area. We'll also be looking at selling some of their current styles. So far this venture has been small and we've been exploring our options, but we're now taking this to a new level and we're excited about the possibilities. We are wondering what types of things YOU would like us to carry? We're thinking about carrying a clothing line, energy gels, Altra Shoes (already are doing this), some ear buds for runners (that don't fall out), running belts for water and other things, and possibly some running lights. What are your thoughts? Is it all about price or would you like to see some quality as well?? Don't forget to like our facebook page as well (zrunning.com)... Congrats Altra! 01/22/2012
We're glad to support such a great shoe! :) Outdoor Retailer 01/22/2012
Ang and I made the Altra Running video...:) Ignite Naturals... 01/03/2012
I tried some new energy gels today...they're 100% natural and are actually GREAT tasting! They're made by Ignite Naturals ( http://ignitenaturals.com/). There is no caffeine, Gluten and Lactose free and are made with organic Fig as the base product. They tasted like a fig-newton but not as dry. :) I had the Blackberry Blueberry kind this morning. It says to take 15 minutes before you exercise but I took it right before I started along with a half cup of water. I ended up running on the treadmill today running at 9 mph (6:40 pace). I didn't notice much of a difference until I hit about 12 minutes or so...I felt a bit of a renewal. My shoulders and neck even relaxed and I felt that way through the rest of the workout. I don't know if it was the Ignite Naturals gel or just getting warmed up, but I should also state I went through all the "Coach Jay" workouts under ZVideos before I started running... Also, In the past, when I'm not used to using gels, I would get side aches, but not today. All in all, I enjoyed my run today and felt the Ignite Naturals Energy Gel worked great! I'll definitely be trying them again! Mitch ZTeams are UP and RUNNING!! 12/28/2011

Mitch The new mark looked to be untouchable to US ditance running except to the man who was 4th in that race. Galen Rupp also broke the AR that day by running 27:10 but was an afterthought in a race that produced both an American and Canadian record for Jerry's crew. 2011 was going well for Galen, with a new 5k PR in Birmingham he looked poised for a big show at the World Championships. Galen finished 9th in the 5k in Dageu but was still fit and had one race left on his 2011 calendar. The stage was set in Belgium with an all star lineup that included the great Kenenisa Bekele. Rupp Shattered the American Record by 11seconds by running 26:48.0. Aside from being a new record Galen showed that Americans can stick with the best in the world. In the last two years the record has been brought down by 25 seconds! (why is this happening!?) This year Galen set PRs in the 5k,10k, and was second at the NYC half. Whats Next! More IT Band information...Here's a video on IT Bands and what can be done to fix the issues. The thing I learned from this video is that you can't stretch the IT Band (it's a tendon)...you can only stretch and strengthen the muscles that attach to the IT Band. There are two ways to In this Video Dr. Hansen answers the following question Jason Fitzgerald. "While I'm not injured, I have a chronically tight IT Band. I just ran 2:39 at the Philly Marathon and am just getting back into running. Despite everything I know about ITBS (I've had it before and feel like I learned a ton seeing PT's and a lot of research), I can't knock the tightness in my glute/hip. I've worked on glute strength and hip mobility - what other things can help treat ITBS (IT band syndrome)?"
