By now many of you have visited the utahrunning.com site and have been able to see all upcoming races in Utah. If you have ventured further into the site you probably noticed that a certain trainer is on the expert panel. I’m honored to be considered an expert (maybe a bit misplaced and misguided on their part). I wrote a short piece on strength training and running…click here to read it.

Women more affected than men by air quality during a marathon

Higher levels of particles in the air were associated with slower running times for women, while men were not significantly affected, Marr said. The difference may be due to the smaller size of women’s tracheas, which makes it easier for certain particles to deposit there and possibly to cause irritation

“Previous research has shown that during a race, marathon runners inhale and exhale about the same volume of air as a sedentary person would over the course of two full days,” Marr said. “Therefore, runners are exposed to much greater amounts of pollutants than under typical breathing conditions.”
