A run Steeped in History

On Saturday 18 January 2003, the bushfires which had been burning in the hills to the west and south-west of Canberra for more than a week reached the perimeter of the city. Four people lost their lives, nearly five hundred homes were destroyed, countless pets and other animals were killed, and there was widespread damage to rural properties, parks, forests, gardens and urban infrastructure.

The Stromlo Running Festival celebrates the strength, resilience, and courage of our community.

Sweeping is an important aspect of any trail run, with the safety of runners at the forefront of any event organisers mind.
.
Our RD Mel and one of this year’s SRF30 sweeps hit the trails last weekend for the Hounslow Classic, joining the @vandbathletic sweep team to cover the back half of the Sky Ultra Marathon.

Shout out to SRF2019 Ambassador Mark Scarborough of @mygungahlin 👏👏👏
.
Mark recently completed his 9th half marathon at the Blackmores Sydney Running Festival Half Marathon where participants get to run across the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and finish at the steps of the Opera House.
.
"I’ve never run this event and was not sure what to expect but breaking that elusive two hour barrier was in the back of my mind. I had to work hard to be on track at 5km after a slow couple of kilometres at the start and at 10km I was still on track for sub 2 hours. Unfortunately over the next 11 kilometres I lost time which I couldn't claw back and crossed the line 2:03:53. Whilst not a PB this was my second fastest half marathon time and 8 minutes below my average. I am starting to feel more comfortable and confident at these longer distances which helps me prepare mentally for the 30km at Stromlo Running Festival."

Would you like to be able to tailor your nutrition to your individual needs based on the genes specific to you? Nutritional genomics could be the future of nutrition and mean there is no longer blanket recommendations for best nutrition. As humans 99.99% of our genes are identical, but it is the 0.01% that makes you unique and individual. These genes are the genes which are targeted to tailor a perfect diet for you in a method called nutrigenetics.Nutrigenetics enables you to receive the optimal nutrients your body needs for health. The genes expressed or created because of your body’s response to the nutrients eaten will differ to the person sitting next to you and is called nutrigenomics.While this is very exciting, the research is still not there yet to be able to tailor such diets. The good news is the knowledge is already there on ways you can eat to help protect your DNA from damage but also to help repair it when damage occurs. It is this damage to your DNA which is linked to chronic diseases and cancer.Here are some must have nutrients you can add to your diet to optimise the health of your DNA:Carotenoids
These are antioxidants found in orange, yellow, red and green leafy vegetables like sweet potato, kale, broccoli, capsicum.Vitamin E
Another antioxidant found in seeds and nuts as well as in avocado.Nutrients your body needs to help make DNA include:Folate
A B vitamin found in dark green leafy vegetables, all breads in Australia except organic bread are fortified with folic acid, fortified cereals and juices, legumes and pulses and oranges.Vitamin B12
Found mainly in animal-based products like meats, dairy and seafood.Zinc
This mineral is present in foods like wheat germ, pumpkin seeds and nuts.Magnesium
This mighty mineral is found in cocoa (yes dark chocolate is a healthy food when eaten in moderation and with a level of 60% plus of cocoa), also in avocado and bananas.Nutrients needed to help repair damage to DNA are:Vitamin B3 or Niacin
Found in peanuts, mushrooms
