REMINDER – RECOVERY SATURDAY IS THIS SATURDAY!

REMINDER – RECOVERY SATURDAY IS THIS SATURDAY!

REMINDER – RECOVERY SATURDAY IS THIS SATURDAY!

Don’t forget that the FIRST SATURDAY OF EVERY MONTH will be focused on getting your R&R on – running and recovery that is. That means taking a proactive approach with your self care. Whether you are a new runner, a CrossFitter or fitness junkie, everyone has an obligation to help their body recover before, during and after training. FRC will have exclusive deals on recovery services each Recovery Saturday including:
  • Free Recovery Services for Members (Except Cryotherapy)
  • $15 Recovery Services for Non-Members (Except Cryotherapy)
  • 1 Credit Whole Body Cryotherapy
You are encouraged to explore multiple options, including yoga for runners, foam rolling and stretching classes, whole body cryotherapy, compression sleeves, full spectrum infrared sauna and the cold water soaking tub. However, you are limited to 2 recovery services per person.
 

WAIT. What exactly is recovery? 

Recovery isn’t just something you do after a workout but something you do proactively, even as a new athlete. Proper recovery and wellness vary for each athlete but all involve helping the body recuperate. Recovery is essential to maintaining peak performance, staying healthy and reducing the potential for injury. Even incorporating basic stretching techniques before and after workouts is something many athletes forgo. At FRC we believe training and recovery are both vital elements to a successful athlete’s formula. Learn a little more about recovery here or ask one of our expert coaches where you should start!

LOCATION:

Formula Running Center – 3101 Wilson BLVD., Suite 100, Arlington, VA 22201

DATE AND TIME:

03/07/20 (The first Saturday of EVERY month)
7:30 AM to 1:00 PM

TRX WORKSHOP

TRX WORKSHOP

by | Feb 23, 2020 | Events, Past Events

READY TO GET STRONGER?

Do you want to improve your running stride and gait? How about building enough strength to do a full push up? FRC uses TRX straps to help you improve coordination, balance, mobility, flexibility and core stability and overall running performance. Our TRX training workshop will be a guided full-body workout and feedback session. We will cover all the perks and how-to’s of using TRX straps. Led by our expert coach Carol Housaman, Ironman race finisher with multiple TRX certifications. Runners of all strides and abilities are encouraged to come and workout!
 
What is TRX?
TRX stands for Total-body Resistance eXercise. TRX straps are suspension training straps that help you build strength and stability through functional movements where your bodyweight is the resistance. These straps were originally designed by a Navy SEAL who needed to get top-notch workout while on deployment in places that had little to no equipment. We will go over more details at the workshop but feel free to look at TRX straps a little closer HERE.

NUTRITION 101 SEMINAR

NUTRITION 101 SEMINAR

by | Feb 22, 2020 | Events, Past Events

NUTRITION IS MORE THAN DIETING

What do I eat before a race? What do I eat after a workout? Am I allowed to eat a few extra Thin Mints? Nutrition can be intimidating so we’re taking the subject head on to get some clarity! In anticipation of National Nutrition Month in March, we’re launching our Nutrition 101 Seminar early. The focus will be to get some of the basics down, especially before race season begins. We will cover more than just the food you can find in our Pit Stop. This will be a session about having a healthy attitude towards food and consciously choosing foods to eat for meals and for snacks. 
 
A diet doesn’t always have to be what to stay away from, what will harm you or what will affect you negatively. Food isn’t something to always feel bad or guilty about. Foods are the way to good health; a contributor to a good workout session, having good energy throughout the day and sleeping well at night.

LOCATION:

Formula Running Center – 3101 Wilson BLVD., Suite 100, Arlington, VA 22201

2/22/20 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM

PRICE:

Members: Complimentary. Free. Zero. Nada. $0.

WHO IS WELCOME:
