Read about Alison 2nd half marathon experience. You’ll love it!

My alarm goes off at 3:45 AM, but there’s no point to it; I’m already up.  Today is my half marathon.  I’m not up because I’m nervous.  I’m awake because I’m in a lot of pain.

I have been training for this half marathon for 3 months.  Not only that, but I have also been training for a triathlon in June at the same time.  Since January 1^st, I have swum 11.3 miles, run 224 miles, and taken 12 spinning classes.  I’ve done 4,260 pushups, 2,840 squats, and 2,130 lunges.  And as of last Monday, I can barely walk a step without wanting to cry. more »

I would never do this stretch

Many people do this to stretch their hamstrings and back. Don’t, because:

• it over-stretches the low back (can lead to injury)
• It doesn’t isolate the hamstrings enough to make it effective
• the average person doesn’t need to stretch their back forward

Try this safe stretch for your back instead
