Tip of the Month
by UPMC Health Plan "No matter what the level of ability, you have more potential than you can develop in a lifetime."
(James T. McCay) Water and fuel demands increase as your running distance increases. Have about one-half cup of fluids every twenty minutes and a snack of simple carbohydrates (such as sports gels, packets of honey, and energy drinks), every 45 minutes. Avoid fiber, protein and fat because these take longer to digest and can cause stomach cramps. For recovery nutrition, don't forget that real food can be just as good as, if not better than, sports bars and powders. |
Become a Participating Charity
The Dick’s Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Charity Program allows nonprofit organizations
to use the Dick’s Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon as a platform for fundraising and raising
awareness for their cause. Approved nonprofit organizations register relay teams, individual
runners or walkers to fundraise and race on behalf of the organization, helping further nonprofit
fundraising awareness across the Pittsburgh area.
Due to the overwhelming response, our charity program is currently full!
We will begin accepting applications for the 2011 Charity Program in May, 2010.
Thank you for your interest and stay tuned!
