Are you ready to Run Faster?

By Chad - Your 5k-Marathon Run Coach

I never considered myself a runner, in fact I did not run until I got out of high school.  I enjoyed running, but I was too busy playing basketball, baseball, golf, and football as a kid.  After high school, I started to run as a way of staying in shape since team sports became more […]

All I want to do is bicycle, bicycle, bicycle!

By Desiree Ahrens

From the magical harmonies to the various bicycle bells, Queen’s “Bicycle Race” embraces the simplicity and freedom of riding a bike. Summer in Minnesota is all about the bike. Adults remember the meaning of “it’s just like riding a bike”, kids learn to ditch the training wheels, and athletes enjoy speeding on open country roads. […]

Muscles – our metabolic machinery

By Kate- Dietitian

Some call it the “middle age slump” or “weight creep”.  You may not be doing much different than you did 5-10 years ago, yet the pounds are increasing a bit each year.  As much as you don’t like it, this is natural.  In fact, thought to happen for survival purposes as a store of energy in […]

Speed Ladder – Fun For All

By Desiree Ahrens

Picture the obligatory scene in a sports movie where the unlikely athlete starts to make the turn to star athlete. With an inspirational soundtrack playing in the background, the athlete sweats, grunts, runs, and jumps. Sometimes the athlete will take a few turns through the speed ladder.

New Running Route: Early Bird 5K!

By Desiree Ahrens

There is nothing more invigorating than waking up early in a city. Even though there are buildings, houses, and cars all around…everything is quiet. There is something peaceful about being the only one awake and running in the city. Street corners that would normally be busy are completely open. You don’t have to swerve around […]
