ATHLETE OF THE MONTH July 2015

Sarah Sandoval Sarah started running in December 2014 while battling severe depression. She used RACEPLACE magazine to find events that she could participate in during the year in San Diego and Los Angeles. She started her journey by participating in a Color Run and most recently just completed the San Diego Half Marathon 5k. “As silly as it sounds, this race literally changed me. It changed my way of thinking and made me more positive. I only ran the 5k but talking to other people about why they run and what they’re running for, it gave me hope. I want people to know that it’s ok to feel down and depressed. It’s not healthy, but everybody goes through it at some point in their lives. Running helps, when you feel down.” Congratulations Sarah! You are an inspiration and our Athlete of the Month! As athlete of the month Sarah will receive: • $120 gift card to Roadrunner Sports • 1 free event entry to any event on our calendar

NutritionPlace 1. Start simple (and stay simple) A recipe doesn’t have to be complicated to be healthy and delicious. Some meals are so easy to prepare, it almost feels like cheating to make them. Build your comfort level and confidence in the kitchen by starting your cooking journey with a single recipe that includes just a few familiar ingredients, takes mere minutes to put together, and requires no fancy techniques. Once you’ve mastered it, add a second easy recipe to your repertoire, and so on.

Cook More, RUN Faster! BY MAT T FITZGERALD

e live in strange times. People today spend more time than ever watching other people cook on TV and less time than ever cooking in their own homes. A scientific survey published in the Nutrition Journal in 2013 reported that only 54 percent of american adults do any home cooking, an all-time low. That’s unfortunate, because other research suggests that people who cook more eat healthier.

A 2014 study at the University of Washington, for example, found that frequent home cooks ate significantly more fruit and vegetables compared to others. Lack of time is the most commonly cited reason for not cooking. As a runner, you may feel even more timecrunched than people who aren’t trying to squeeze workouts into their day along with everything else. But as a runner, you also need the dietary control that comes with home cooking more than others. A higherquality diet won’t just make you healthier but will also improve your running. A reluctant cook myself, I’ve learned really doesn’t have to be difficult or time consuming to prepare healthy meals at home. To the right are three helpful tricks I’ve picked up to help you cook more, run faster:

Need an idea? Try the Garden Minestrone with Kale from my Racing Weight Cookbook.

2. Let others do the prep work for you The supermarkets that sell the food we buy and the companies that make the food that supermarkets sell are well aware that people today are busy and have little time for cooking. To meet the demand for products that save time without sacrificing quality, they are coming up with more and more offerings that marry healthiness and convenience.

3. Keep your kitchen stocked with staples Some nutritionists advise home cooks to plan all of their meals in advance. But to me this feels like just another obligation. I’d rather wing it. An alternative to setting aside time for planning is to keep your pantry, freezer, and refrigerator well stocked with versatile staple foods that you can throw together to make a meal on the spur of the moment. My kitchen staples include frozen vegetables of various kinds, frozen fish, fresh onions and minced garlic, brown rice and quinoa, bullion, and basic seasonings.

EVENT SPOTLIGHT [ TRIPLE CROWN - A FAMILY AFFAIR ]

I R A C E P L A C E J U L Y A U G U S T 2 0 1 5 28

n 1985, Lynn Flanagan and In Motion, Inc. were hired to put on a local event called the Heart of San Diego Marathon. Three years later, In Motion, Inc. negotiated a merger of that event with another marathon in the area, the San Diego Track Club’s Mission Bay Marathon. Then in 1990, Flanagan decided to take the event to San Diego’s North County and the rest, as they say, is history. The original North County plan was to create a point-to-point marathon that would travel through Del Mar, Solana Beach, and Encinitas, but getting support and permits from all of the cities along the coast proved challenging to say the least. Eventually, two cities – Oceanside and Carlsbad – stepped up and said they would be happy to host the event. Lynn’s daughter, Christine Adams, is now the CEO of In Motion and Lynn has been retired

since 2009. But the event that Lynn and the family worked so hard to make a reality, the Tri-City Medical Center Carlsbad Marathon & Half Marathon, continues to thrive. “It has been a labor of love,” admits Christine. “There were a number of years in the early days where we didn’t sell out and the event barely paid for itself. But we were committed and we believed in the event.”

a full or a half marathon. That achievement transforms people. There is something special about completing a long distance event. You learn that when you apply yourself and do the training, you can accomplish anything.”

That faith has paid off in a number of ways. Despite the fact that In Motion has a staff of only five, with Christine and her sister Ellen running the company while their other sister, Katie, oversees the In Motion Fit training program, the event continues to expand its reach.

After each edition of the event, the In Motion team gets together for what they call a ‘hot wash’ to go over every aspect of the weekend. They put everything under the microscope from the expo to the Kid’s Marathon Mile at LEGOLAND to In Motion Fit to the half and full marathon. The plan is to always be improving, to make each year’s event better than the last. “At the end of the day, we want our participants to come back and succeed,” says Christine.

“We’re just five women trying to make a difference in the world,” says Christine. “When things get tough, we always think about what it feels like to be standing at the finish line knowing that we created this opportunity for people to fulfill a lifetime goal of completing

In 2008, Lynn came up with the idea to create a Triple Crown Series that would kick off with the Tri-City Carlsbad Marathon or Half Marathon in January and be followed by the La Jolla Half Marathon in April and America’s Finest City Half Marathon in August.

“The majority of our ViaSat Triple Crown series runners are people who a few years ago probably wouldn’t have signed up for one half marathon a year,” continues Christine. “But now they are running three in one year!”

Anyone who does all three events in a calendar year gets a unique medal, bragging rights and the sense of accomplishment that comes with completing something that you didn’t know you could. Carlsbad-based communications company ViaSat became the series title sponsor this year and will be hosting a post-event celebration in the finish line festival area of the third and final race, the America’s Finest City Half Marathon, for the roughly 2,500 runners who will complete the challenge that day. If you’re planning your race schedule for 2016, here’s an idea: commit to the 2016 Half Marathon Triple Crown! Start by joining In Motion Fit at inmotionfit.com and train either in Carlsbad or Mission Bay beginning on Saturday, July 18. Christine’s sister Katie and her team will get you more than ready for either the Tri-City Medical Center Carlsbad Marathon or Half Marathon on

Sunday, January 17. Continue training with In Motion Fit for the La Jolla Half Marathon in April and finally the America’s Finest City Half Marathon in August. Before you know it, you’ll have a Half Marathon Triple Crown medal of your very own! The Half Marathon Triple Crown is a unique challenge that recognizes dedicated athletes who commit to complete a trio of scenic Southern California half marathons within the same calendar year. All of the half marathons are known for their spectacular scenery. The Carlsbad Half Marathon in January boasts an oceanfront course in Carlsbad, 30 miles north of San Diego. The La Jolla Half Marathon held in April features a point-to-point course stretching from the quaint seaside village of Del Mar to La Jolla. The America’s Finest City Half Marathon (AFC) held each August, runs from the historic Cabrillo National Monument in Point Loma, then along the San Diego Harbor before winding through downtown San Diego and finishing in beautiful Balboa Park.

With the three races spaced evenly apart; winter, spring and summer, it allows participants the time to train and recover adequately from all three events. To be a part of the series, simply register and finish each of these events in the same calendar year, starting with the Carlsbad Half Marathon or Full Marathon in January. Finishers of the Half Marathon Triple Crown will receive an impressive commemorative medal, as well as gain some serious bragging rights and a huge sense of accomplishment! Entry into each event is not guaranteed register early to ensure your spot.

See you at the finish line!

GET YOUR CROWN IN 2016!

The Half Marathon Triple Crown is a special challenge requiring the completion of three of Southern Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best half marathons in the same year: Tri-City Medical Center Carlsbad Half (or full marathon), La Jolla Half and Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Finest City Half. SM

At the finish line of the third and final event in the series, Triple Crowners receive a celebratory welcome, an impressive commemorative medal, some serious bragging rights and a huge sense of accomplishment! While completing each race is a challenge in and of itself so is registering before each event sells out!

Start your 2016 Half Marathon Triple Crown challenge by registering today for the January 17th Tri-City Medical Center Carlsbad Marathon or Half!

Pro triathlete Eric Lagerstrom’s

“Bread and Butter” Workout 1.

Warm-up with 20-45 min riding in the small ring at slightly higher cadence (80+ rpm)

The Workout: perform 6 x [5mins Building to Max Effort with 2 mins rest]

Cool Down for 20-45 mins in the small ring to spin out any lactic acid

BY JIM O’HARA

R A C E P L A C E J U L Y A U G U S T 2 0 1 5 34

ro triathlete, Eric Lagerstrom has been one of the hottest triathletes out there in 2015 winning ITU Sarasota, ITU Barbados, taking 2nd overall at St. Anthony’s, and most recently winning the 2015 Escape From Alcatraz. His amazing ability to time trial (T T) has been a big reason for success. TT helped keep him in the lead pack on the bike, and set him up to have a strong run.

Train Like a Pro

How can you become stronger at time trialing like Eric? While you may not be able to catch him on the bike, you can definitely train like him and become faster using Eric’s “Bread and Butter” workout:

The challenge of a workout is to gradually build the effort over the 5 minutes, and really sit up and recover during the 2 minutes. An important piece of the puzzle is paying attention to the effort and metering throughout the workout. If Eric burns himself out in the first round of 5 minutes, the 6th round is going to be hard, or even impossible to finish.

ERIC LAGERSTROM

Prepare for Your Next Time Trial like a Pro

He uses wattage to measure his efforts in these workouts. He starts each rep about 5 watts lower than how he thinks he can finish. Gradually, he builds the effort over the 5 minutes to point of finishing each repetition with that “I’m not sure I can finish this workout” sensation. Eric uses power to measure his effort because it allows him to track a ton of data. His Pioneer Power meter allows him to measure multiple variables, like each leg’s individual output that he uses to plan his future workouts.

TrainingPlace Measurements For This Workout:

EVERY RIDER CAN ADAPT

Wattage/Power: Start at 5 watts lower than goal, and finish with last 1-2 minutes above goal wattage output

THIS WORKOUT, NO

Speed: Start at 1 mph slower than goal pace, and build to 2-3 mph faster by the end of the 5 minutes.

YOU USE TO MEASURE

Heart Rate: Start 10 beats lower than VO2Max and finish last minute at VO2Max RPE: Start at 1 minute at RPE 7 to move to RPE of 8-9 for minutes 2-4 Finishing the last minute at RPE of 10

How This Workout Will Improve Your Performance?

Why You Should Love this Workout:

Build your lactate threshold. This is the effort/output required for TT 50-70 minutes. Coincidentally, it’s the same time it takes most athletes to cover the cycling portion of a sprint or olympic distance tri, and the common distance of most road time trials.

It’s great for any level of athlete. What that Means for You: Whether you’re a beginner Tri-geek, or Cat 1 cyclist gearing, the work to rest ratio of this workout makes it perfect for your build phase of training. All you have to do is adjust the number of repetitions to match your experience. Less for beginners and the suggested amounts for experienced riders.

Pushes you outside of your comfort zone Pushing hard through the end of each rep is exhausting and Eric says, “Overcoming that and finishing the workout strong is a great mental boost and mimics the mindset necessary for racing.” In other words, this workout will toughen you up. Teaches you to focus for 30 minutes TT requires concentration which can be exhausting, but the 6 rounds of 5 minute reps require you to concentrate for a total 30 minutes. As Eric puts it, “5 minutes with lower rest really allows me to elevate my TT power without the same mental draw that a 30 minute all out TT effort would.”

MATTER WHAT METRIC YOUR CYCLING POWER, SPEED, HEART RATE, OR RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION (RPE).

View this article and more on www.RACEPLACE.COM #RACEPLACE

It’s versatile. What that Means for You: You can do this workout to train for any distance up to a 70.3. If you’re doing a sprint, you might only do 4 reps at a higher effort. Stick with 6 for an Olympic (Eric’s focus), and up it to 8-10 for a 70.3 backing off on your max intensity. Simple What that Means for You: Some workouts can get overly complicated, and you spend more time paying attention to the details of the workout instead of paying attention to the workout itself. It can be done solo,..or with a group. What that Means to You: Time trialing in its essence is pure cycling, rider vs the clock, making this the perfect workout for when you end up riding alone. If you are riding with a group, use the effort to move to the front and take a pull during each interval, and fall back on the recovery and let the group pull you along. Start training like a pro! Add this workout to your cycling routine, and watch your times improve. Just like Eric, this workout could be the key to helping you find your next finish line.
