Recap of Hill Workout:
First of all, good job to everyone who came out on Weds night hill workout! It was great seeing how hard everyone was working, I was very impressed with how determined and focussed the group was. Again, excellent job! We will stick with the hill workouts for a couple more weeks before starting any speed training: it is all about strength and form in the early season.

Recipie for Recovery Smoothie by Yvonne:
Milk 1%
Banana
Mixed Frozen Berries
Yogurt(any flavour)
1 scoop of IRON-ADE ReLoad(runner's carb +protein recovery drink mix, helps repenish glycogen, repair tissue, has glutamine and hydramins)---Wayne carries this product!

Blend all ingredients together: drink and enjoy. Try to have within 20-30mins after working out.

Nutritional Tip by Rhonda:
If you want to help break down lactic acid and assist with post workout/race muscle aches and pains from lactic acid, eat more pineapple. One slice of pineapple after racing or a tough interval workout will help alleiviate that lactic acid build up. You can also take Bromelain supplements (the digestive enzyme found in pineapple that helps with lactic acid build-up) during a tough workout or race to help break down lactic acid while exercising.

(add a pineapple slice to your smoothie)
