PRS Fit Blog | Personal Best FitnessGratitude Unexpressed is Ingratitude
I have been told that gratitude unspoken is ingratitude.  Today I want to publically express some gratitude. First, I want to express my gratitude to the wonderful PRS Fit Team.  I have not met a more amazing group of people.   You are all so supportive and encouraging to each other.  You motivate me to be [...]


The Big Picture
            A while ago my sister’s dog got very ill, and she had to go to the vet.  Her name is Sky because she was a Siberian Husky, and her eyes were as blue as the sky.  If any of you have owned or been around Siberian Husky’s you know that they talk instead of [...]

Thoughts on “resolvers!” A guest Blog By Joe Herman
Thoughts on “resolvers” I have seen a lot of blog posts, Facebook posts, blog entries and tweets talking about the “resolvers” – folks that make New Years resolutions to get in shape.  These folks pack the gym for the month of January, and as one Facebook commenter said, “most are gone by President’s day”.  I [...]


How do you Snack?
While some dieters happily accept when someone suggests a snack, others feel pangs of guilt when a nibble is merely suggested. However, there is nothing inherently wrong with a bite between meals. In fact, snacking might be the missing ingredient that will help you reach your weight loss goals. But how can this make sense, since snacking [...]

Importance of strength training & healthy eating


Tabata’s How to Create Fun New Workouts
Tabata intervals (named for Japanese researcher Izumi Tabata) are a great example of structured intervals. Tabata training includes a 20-second high-intensity anaerobic work interval followed by a 10-second rest, repeated eight times in a row. In a creative twist on Tabata, this sample workout alternates moderate-intensity intervals with higher-intensity bouts of the same exercise. Three [...]


BareFoot Training
Chances are that you or your clients have seen Vibram’s FiveFingers® shoes and have questions about starting a barefoot or minimalist footwear training program. As a movement professional, you need to fit yourself into the great foot conversation. Spanning more than two decades, the research on footwear and its impact on total-body health is fairly [...]


What Path Are You On?
What happens when you get off on the wrong path with your eating or training?  It is easy to do, and most people at least one time or another do it no matter how dedicated or motivated they are. Many things happen when you find yourself on this “other” path.  There can be negative self-talk, [...]


Heart Rate Training
The heart is the most important muscle/organ in your body. In fact, the beat of your heart can provide you with more information about what is going on inside your body than any other tool in the training environment. It will tell you how hard you are training, if you need to rest or it [...]


Team product reviews!
Hey Folks. We thought since it is the holiday season we would put up a few actual product reviews by our team mates. These reviews are limited to our great sponsors. The 1bandid has been great. Fit solid on the Garmin, didn’t even know it was there. Never falls off when I take it off. [...]


Learning to Heal (Submitted by Ann Brennan)
Learning to Heal Michael Sandler is best known as the author of Barefoot Running, a book as much about getting in touch with nature as the how-to’s of barefoot running. Last week, I sat down with Michael to discuss the accident and healing process that lead him to barefoot running.  Below, I share his story [...]


Ann’s Running Commentary Running Evolution 2
Posted on November 17, 2011 by Ann Brennan Running, for me, has been an evolution. As I have grown and changed, my running has adapted, evolving with each phase of my life. TrailMomma Puddle Jumping  I started running seventeen years ago because, frankly, I had gotten fat. Looking back, it is embarrassing to think about [...]

The 100 UP Challenge It’s not too late!
The 100 Up Challenge 100 Up, 30 Day Challenge Starts on 11/11/2011 Are you up for a challenge? Here at NaturalRunningStore we are known for debunking running dogma. There was a great article recently in the New York Times about natural running.  The article had lots of very interesting insight, but perhaps the most interesting [...]


Anatomy of the Foot and Lower Leg
The foot is the first and last part of the body to touch the ground each day. It provides support when walking and running and is the foundation for the body’s structural integrity and movement. When it comes to addressing the foot and its functionality we should look directly at the muscles that control the [...]


Altra Zero Drop! (product review)
We believe that good form contributes to easier, more enjoyable running. It also can contribute to a reduction in over use injuries. We also believe that lower heel drop, or minimalist shoes can can play a big factor in aiding better form. Over the last couple of years there has been a been a movement [...]


3 Unconventional Ways To Dominate Your Running Form

Check out three unconventional methods to add a little something to your running.  Better balance, posture and natural stability [...]


Generation UCan (Tested and Recommended)
When I first heard about the benefits of GenUCan on performance, I have to admit I was a big skeptic. There are just too many products making too many claims on how they improve performance. But the coaching staff at PRS FIT likes to make the claim that we are open to new sciences and [...]

Are you Including Strenght and Core?
I have previously discussed that the American College of Sports and Medicine (ACSM) lists the five components of fitness to be cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, muscular endurance, body composition and flexibility. Does running alone meet all of these five components? Frankly, no. However, a properly designed training program can easily incorporate them into your daily [...]


Plan Your Play!
Plan your play, and play your plan is a great credo I once heard from Ray Browning M.S. author of Serious Training for Endurance Athletes. If you were starting out on a new business venture, would you take the time to develop a solid business plan? Of course, failure to do so could only lead [...]

What Motivates YOU? by Coach Kristine
As a coach, I need to know a lot about my clients. Daily stats, pretty HR charts, elevation, cadence and pace are handy, but most beneficial, is mental attitude. It’s why, as coaches, we ask for daily logs. We can see stressors both physically and mentally, in not only your workouts, but daily life as [...]

Freedom, Fun and Speed
by DP_Turtle “Freedom. Fun. Speed.” So read a sign that I passed today on my five-mile run. The sign was in the AT&T Wireless store, and it was touting their latest … I don’t know … 87G, I’m-so-smart-you’ll-never-be-able-to-match-wits-with-me smartphone. But it struck me that “Freedom. Fun. Speed.” pretty much summed up how I was feeling. [...]

Taper for Races


Fight The Resistance (by naturalrunningstore on August 31, 2011)
One of my favorite things about running is the constant lessons it teaches us about life.  Some of these can be very apparent and some passively weave their way into our psyche.  A long run, with no head phones seems to open this door even more. A favorite book of mine is Linchpin by Seth Godin.  I [...]


FORM COUNTS

Are You Fueling Properly
The American College of Sports Medicine states the 5 components of physical fitness are cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, body composition and flexibility. My personal opinion is; Nutrition should be added as a sixth component. In fact I believe nutrition is so important that it should be second only to cardiovascular health. Heck in [...]

Are You Breathing Properly?
Did you know that the way you hold yourself affects the way you breathe? Most of us can see that rounded shoulders, rounded upper back (kyphosis), forward head posture plus a distended abdominal wall is poor posture and thus disrupts breathing patterns. While consciously over correcting your posture can do the same thing, these people [...]


Goals and Consistency

Strength training reduces injury, increases performance!
There was a time when “strength training” was looked on as almost taboo for the runner.
