April is currently the Registered Description of the RunSmartProgram RunSmartis coordinated by an exercise physiologist, sport psychology consultant, and registered dietitian using the latest science and research in their fields. The RunSmart program includes two 2 hour sessions that focus on physiological, psychological, nutritional, and biomechanical assessment and information. The four aspects of the RunSmart program include: 1. Biomechanical Analysis: Our biomechanical analysis begins with a set of musculoskeletal tests (i.e., core strength, flexibility, and postural) associated with optimum running form. We will also examine your running form with a video gait analysis. 2. Physiological Analysis: Our physiological analysis is based on an all-out treadmill running test (3 minutes) that identifies youranaerobic threshold, your anaerobic capacity, and your maximal aerobic steady state (also known as your critical velocity). These physiological measures will help predict your running performance and structure precise target times for tempo runs and interval training so you can reach your optimal running potential. 3. Mental Strategies: This component of our RunSmart program focuses on tangible strategies that you can use when racing and training to help you reach your optimum potential using your mind. Topics discussed include mental toughness, confidence, dealing with pain and adversity, and setting flexible but focused goals. 4. Nutritional Analysis: This component of the RunSmart program focuses on how to fuel your body for peak performance. We will discuss how to eat on a day-to-day basis as well as training days and competing. We will also discuss fueling before, during and after endurance runs.
