Improve Athletic Performance: Faster and More Complete Recuperation
June 9, 2010 – 2:07 pm | No Comment

Fast and complete recuperation are two of the most important elements of improving your athletic performance – especially if you run a hard training schedule. Faster recuperation means you don’t fall behind: you can fit more training sessions in, and you’re not out of commission for a week or two after a big event. More complete recuperation means your training sessions will be more productive: you’re body is stronger and more fully healed, ready to push harder. And if you can train harder and more often without suffering the negative consequences of over training, your performance will improve, along with your general well-being.

TDiLuca Track&Field

I’ve been involved in sports since I was 4 years old.  I started track in 7th grade and competed in the High School New York State Championships as a senior, in the 100 meter hurdles. I even missed my high school graduation for that one!  I continued to compete in college, at Division I Fordham University, where I broke school records in the 55 meter hurdles and 100 meter hurdles.  After college, when I decided to attend law school, I knew I needed a hobby that would keep me focused on my goals of staying fit and healthy, and allow me to compete (yes, I’m a competitive person – so sue me! It’s part of the fun).  That’s how I got into the INBF then the NPC, as a Natural Figure Competitor. It was something different and elegant, and provided a new venue to express and demonstrate my athleticism.  I’ve also kept my sprinting/hurdling training going, and currently I compete in the USA Track & Field (USATF) along with other events like the Colgate Women’s Indoor Games, the Empire Liberty Tour, and the Valentine Invitational.

My coach is Dwayne Johnson of CTS Performance, and he has trained me for the past two years. It’s through him that I was introduced to the Life Health Secrets supplements.  Coach Johnson has developed a sprinting/hurdling and weight lifting program that is individualized to my body and training needs.  As a result, during the 2008-2009 indoor and outdoor season I ran personal bests in the 55 meter hurdles and 100 meter hurdles.  I have literally run through time barriers that I never thought that I could, until I started training with Coach Johnson.

My goals this indoor and outdoor season are to run my personal bests in the 55 meter hurdles, 60 meter hurdles, and 100 meter hurdles. I’ll keep you posted on my progress!
