Apr 30 - Lawrence Memorial Hospital is starting a new sports performance program. Here's a blog about reducing the risk of running injuries. RUNNERS….looking to improve your efficiency, increase your mileage, and stay on the road (i.e. keep injuries at bay)? As runners, we love to run, and we crave those natural endorphins provided by each outing. We can get our “runner’s high” by running anywhere from 2 to 50+ miles. We each know how our own body responds to training from the inside-out. We carefully plan our courses and mileage to perfect our training for the ultimate performance at our upcoming 5k, 10k, ½ marathon, marathon, and even ultras. But sometimes a training program can lack a crucial piece of the puzzle for improving running efficiency, endurance, and injury prevention.What is this crucial piece of training that some runners miss? - HIP STABILITY more Apr 26 - Nikki King, Health Care Access executive director, reported today in the LJW that the Kansas Half Marathon raised a record $63,000 Sunday, which had nearly 2,400 participants. The amount of money raised was 133 percent more than last year's event and will help provide medical care for low-income, uninsured residents of Douglas County. Apr 25 - How to Recover After a Half Marathon (from Active.com by Trisha Reeves) . . .It’s great to be prepared, but what you do after your race is just as important as what you’ve done before. Good race recovery is essential to bouncing back quickly after the substantial effort of a half marathon. And being able to bounce back is great for your morale. more Erika Gray wrote a nice summary of the Kansas Half Marathon in the LJW WellCommons weblog: Cloudy skies with intermittent sun and a chilly wind greeted runners Sunday morning for the Kansas Half Marathon & 5k in downtown Lawrence. Approximately 2,000 runners braved the cooler temperatures and KU campus hills to benefit the Health Care Access Clinic. more Apr 24 - More photos from Sunday's Kansas Half Marathon. It's Tuesday evening and are you wondering if there's going to be a report or stories in the Journal-World or the event website? Probably needing time to sort out results and figure out much the race benefited Health Care Access and the community. Looked like a great, maybe greatest, crowd for the event; would be nice to know the totals. Results and some photos are out. Action ImagesPhotographic should have their offerings soon. Windy, but near perfect temperatures. Former KU runner, Paul Hefferon (Overland Park) was the overall male winner in 1:12:56.7 and Megan Earney (Olathe) was tops among the women in 1:26:17.2. Not a bad route considering it was redesigned when road construction closed the portion to the Haskell campus. Everyone ran through nice neighborhoods, some streets were cobbled (older runners didn't care for the historic feel), up and down West Campus twice but sort of broke the course into thirds with a mostly downhill finish. The out-and-back stretch along Clinton Parkway was crowded and could be improved. Everyone at the finish was having a good time - a post-run party with plenty of food by Hy-Vee. Apr 23 - from ESPN Olympic Sports, Game Changers: Julie Foudy talks with Desiree Davila about the Olympic marathoner's road to the London Games and sudden rise to prominence. more Apr 22 - The results from today's Kansas Half Marathon and 5K are now available.
