January 7th
Public showings... Run Like A Girl
There will be two free showings held in Portland, Oregon in January.
The first will be Tuesday, January 10th, at Title Nine Sports in the
Pearl. The show will start at 7 pm and is the first presentation in the
four part "Resolution Series" entitled "Get Off the Bench and Into the
Game". I would encourage you to visit the store and sign up if you want
to ensure a seat. Then again at 7pm on Thursday, January 12th, a second
showing will be held in the Guild Theater in Downtown Portland. See the
listing at NWfilm.org for all the details for this evening of film entitled "Certifiably Yours".
January 2006:
 Runervals 3.0 Cheetah Fast!
with Coach Troy Jacobson
This is one of a series of five treadmill workouts to help you get the
most out of your indoor running. It is evident that Coach Troy has been
meeting the needs of athletes, after being a professional triathlete
himself, for well over a decade. In this interval session you will be
led through speed and strength work consisting of tempo running, two
pyramid sets, and building repetitions. Like most of the workouts in
this series, the diffuculty rating is appropriately ranked a "9" on the
1-10 scale. After a short warm-up (you may want to do a bit more on
your own) you jump right into the work with four other very fit runners
that include: Amanda Gillam, triathlete and personal trainer; Greg
Cunningham, triathlete and triathlon academy coach; Joanna Zeiger, US
Olympic triathlete; and Kristen Till, sales rep and runner.
Like all Runerval workouts, in the lower right hand corner of the
screen is where you will see the current speed and percent incline of
the treadmill (changes from an established base pace). In the lower
left hand corner you will see the remaining time left in the workout.
In the upper left corner you will see a perceived effort bar graph from
60% to 100% that adjusts as the tempo and exertion change between sets.
Perceived effort can be noted even more if you have a heart rate
monitor in use during these sessions. All these cues may sound like a
lot of information on the screen, yet each element is helpful and keeps
you on track as the workout progresses. Coach Troy gives ample cues so
you know what to expect and promps you to "roll into" each change as
the music shifts tempo to match your running intensity. Be sure to have
a water bottle and towel available as the sweat will be pouring as you
go through these sets.
If you are driven, success oriented, and want to put in some hard work
to reach your goals, then take to your treadmill (or eliptical) and let
this DVD, and others in this series, lead the way. To place an order,
and start becoming more focused in your treadmill workouts, visit Spinervals.com
where for a short time the VHS versions of the first three in the
series are half price. In closing Coach Troy states: "Thank you for
joining me in this Runervals treadmill workout. Doing this type of
interval session once or twice each week as part of your normal
training schedule will do wonders for your strength and speed in
preparing you for the 5k, 10k, and even the marathon."
