AmeliaIsland– Atlantic Coast triathlon 2011 – RACE REPORT ======================================= For real, I am sitting here with writer’s block… unlike me I know, but “Where do I begin… to tell the story of how great a love can be?” … fast forward… twenty four hours…. I titled my Amelia 70.3 race report “You are as good as your last race”. This seemed most appropriate to me, because it was the first time in my own history of triathlon that I was one hundred percent excited for this race, and 0% […]
Heart Health and Nutrition
February is often associated with Valentines; in February I usually focus on “heart health” for my newsletter theme. Whoever coined the phrase “You are what you eat” was rather insightful, because much of what you eat can be a life or death matter. I cannot stress enough that proper nutrition should be the highest priority to help reduce the risk of heart disease, the number one killer of both men and women in the United States. Taking a look at the food you eat is like taking an inside look […]

Triathlon–Amelia Island
AMELIA ISLAND 70.3 RACE REPORT Ilana Katz MS, RD, CSSD and 70.3 Finisher again October 15th, 2010… Great way to end a tax quarter… extensions in the mail and on the road to Amelia Island for my 5th 70.3 distance triathlon. Last year it was Augusta Ironman 70.3, not quite my “A” race, but I did have Marine Corps Marathon lurking on the horizon. This year it was Amelia Island as an island (the only one to focus on)… but post stress fracture was the thorn in my side this […]
Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes
Remember my study on common characteristics of successful weight loss clients? While doing that research I saw another pattern: people have different learning styles. Some of you told me that accountability was key to your weight loss success; others told me that once you had the knowledge and plan you were good to go. I wanted to create a platform that accommodates all those needs and beyond. So here’s the scoop. In addition to my one-on-one coaching I am giving you membership into an on-line program. Some of you have […]
Sports Nutrition for the Winter Olympics– Vancouver 2010
WINTER OLYMPICS As of today, 19 February, the USA is leading in medals. We currently have 18 and the closet rival is Germany with 11 medals total. I say “we” lightly, as many of you who know me personally know that I am very much American, but there is still a huge place in my heart for my Motherland, South Africa. I watched the opening ceremonies last week, and even though there was only one athlete from “home”, I still have a tear in my eye, as I see the […]
4 Keys For a Healthy Marathon Runner's Diet
Image via Wikipedia Training for a marathon or half marathon can ask a lot of your body. Your body may be in some state of recovery almost continuously. If you are eating exactly what you should be now, you may need to take in more calories. But more important than how much you are eating is WHAT you are eating and WHEN. Unless you are running 70 miles a week, you probably can’t eat ice cream every night without gaining weight. Do the math. Running a mile burns roughly 100 […]
