Our first running clinic is in the books!

A great turnout for the running clinic! Remember practice practice practice!!!

Just a short follow up on the nutrition discussion and those raw protein bars:

Benefits of Pumpkin seeds:
  • contain good quality protein.
  • contain very good levels of essential minerals like copper, manganese, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc and selenium
  • good source of B vitamins
  • very good source of anti-oxidant vitamin E;
  • ability to help lower LDL “bad” cholesterol.
Benefits of Chia seeds:
  • 2x the potassium of bananas
    3x the antioxidant strength of blueberries
    3x more iron than spinach
    6x more calcium than milk
    7x more vitamin C than oranges
    8x more omega 3 of wild salmon
    15x more magnesium than broccoli

    They were known in ancient society as the "Running Food" and is said ancient warriors would sustain themselves on long journeys with a single spoon full of the seeds daily.
