When sports and business meet

When you are ready to go out for a run, you might be tempted to just go for it and start running fast right away. However, this is a recipe for disaster. In fact, if you start running too fast, you risk starting at an unsustainable pace, tweaking something, or even pulling a muscle. This means that you will most likely slow down, feel tired, and not look forward to your future runs. With a proper warmup, you can avoid all of these problems. There are 3 main steps you should follow in order to get in a proper warmup. The best way to start is by walking for 3 to 5 minutes. You might look past this; however, it is actually one of the best ways to prepare for your run because it gently warms up your muscles and joints, mimics your running motion, and brings up your heart rate. It is a great way to help your body prepare itself gradually especially if you have been sitting down all day. Next, do strides of 100 meters 5 to 6 times. This is where you gradually speed up to a running pace and then slow down. This helps fire up your fast twitch muscles. However, make sure that you aren’t confusing this with overstriding, where you extend your foot too far forward. This can cause injury. Rather, make sure that your steps are short and that you are keeping your feet underneath you body. Lastly, make sure to stretch. However, it is important that you do not do static stretching. In fact, research shows that static stretching where you hold a stretched position for up to 30 seconds can actually lead to injury if done before a run. Rather, focus on dynamic stretching. This helps your blood flow, increases your body temperature and heart rate, and well as improves your range of motion.

Healthline Post-Workout Nutrition: What to Eat After a Workout When you work out, you put a lot of effort into getting better and reaching your goals. Most likely in order to help achieve this, you have also looked into the best foods to eat before you workout. Most likely you haven’t thought about what you should eat after you finish working out. However, the things that you eat after are just as important! First, it is important to understand the effects of exercise on your body. When you workout, you use glycogen. In addition, your muscle’s proteins get broken down. If you eat the correct foods soon after finishing working out you can speed up your body’s nature recovery process. Second, it is important to understand how each of the macronutrients: proteins, carbs, and fats help your body recover after a workout. Proteins are the building blocks of your muscle tissue. However, when you worko ut, they get broken down. By eating the right amount of proteins soon after working out, you can help your body recover quicker. Studies show that the recommended amount ranges between 20 to 40 grams of protein, depending on your size. When you are working out, your body uses glycogen as its fuel source. Therefore, after working out, it is important to replenish your glycogen stores with carbohydrates. Depending on the type of activity you do, you will require different amount. For example, endurance sports such as running will require much more carbs than bodybuilding. The amount of carbs you take depends on your size and activity level. However, it is recommended to eat carbs in a 3:1 ratio of carbs to protein. While it might sound contrary to popular opinion, it is also important to consume fats in your post workout meal. In fact, according to one study, it was found that whole milk was better than skim milk at promoting muscle growth. However, it is also important to not eat an excessive amount of fat. Now that you better understand the types of macronutrients that you should eat after working out, it is also important to understand how soon after working out you should take them. While the exact time doesn’t have to be exact, studies show that the optimal time to eat is no more than 45 minutes after working out. This helps your body recover quicker. It is also important to choose foods that your body can easily digest. This includes carbs such as sweet potatoes, proteins such as eggs, and fats such as avocados. Lastly, make sure to drink enough water and electrolytes both during and after working out. Being properly hydrated helps your body recover the quickest possible.

Venture Capital does fit a certain mold. However, it might not be exactly the one that you are thinking. They do not only fund white males as many people like to think. In fact, if you look in Silicon Valley, many entrepreneurs of Indian and Chinese descent are funded. The fact is that there are always more entrepreneurs dreaming of success than there are VCs to fund them. In addition, just because a VC funds a startup, it doesn’t mean that they will succeed. A famous example of this is the MESBIC run by the SBA which funded “underfunded” minority areas. However, the risks were high and many failed. However, it wasn’t not due to the VCs, rather due to lack of expertise and skill. The main problem is that most VCs fail unless they are luck and find a home run project to back. Therefore, it is important to understand what type of VCs succeed and the reason why. Successful VCs have the following characteristics. First, they tend to be in Silicon Valley. This is because this is where the best advisers, financiers, technologists, and entrepreneurs are located. Second, VCs are mostly only successful in new emerging industries. This can be seen in the Internet 2.0 revolution in the early 2000s. This is because VCs tend to only succeed when they hit a home run and they are most likely to succeed when they are the first ones to do something. Third, VCs only succeed when potential is obvious. Fourth, VCs are looking for the next billion dollar idea. Therefore, rather than focusing on making VCs that help underfunded groups, it is important to help entrepreneurs learn how to build better businesses. When you have a business with a lot of potential, you don’t have to go to VCs, they will be lining up and knocking on your door. To do this, it is important to learn how to grow your idea to one with potential. Second, rather than selling a pitch to VCs, sell your product. Third, focus on developing your skills in emerging trends or industries.
