Clubs

Zoomers Southwest Florida Running and Triathlon Club is better
known as simply Zoomers. The club was started in 1996 by a small
group of runners who dreamed of a running club in Charlotte
County to promote fitness through running, swimming and biking.
This is the area around Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte, between
Sarasota and Fort Myers, which got hit pretty hard when Hurricane
Charley came ashore, for those who are not otherwise familiar with
southwest Florida. They belong to the RRCA (Road Runners Club of
America), like most of the clubs in Florida, and currently have almost
200 members comprised of doctors, lawyers, retirees, children and
people of all vocations. Zoomers performs the race timing for
approximately 20 races per year and growing. Its member business
meetings are held on the first Wednesday of the month at 7 PM and
are currently held at the Charlotte County Chamber of Commerce
Building, in Port Charlotte, Florida. Come run the races or volunteer
to work the finish line. And please check out their website at
www.zoomersrun.com!
The president position is jointly held by Debi Lantzer and Kimmi van
der Veen. Debi has been a (long distance) friend of ours for a while.
We helped her sell a bike through our classified ads and communicate
occasionally on topics from training to running clubs.
If you live in southwest Florida you should definitely check out
Zoomers, run their races, and join the club!

New Product Information: Dietary Flavonoid Quercetin
Increases VO2MAX and Endurance Capacity
J. Mark Davis, Catherine J. Carlstedt, Stephen Chen, Martin D. Carmichael, and E.
Angela Murphy1
Quercetin, a natural polyphenolic flavonoid substance present in a variety of food plants, has
been shown in animal studies to have widespread health and performance benefits resulting
from a combination of biological properties, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
activity, as well as the ability to increase mitochondrial biogenesis. The authors determined
whether quercetin ingestion would enhance maximal aerobic capacity and delay fatigue during
prolonged exercise in healthy but untrained participants. Twelve volunteers were randomly
assigned to 1 of 2 treatments: (a) 500 mg of quercetin twice daily dissolved in vitamin-enriched
Tang or (b) a nondistinguishable placebo (Tang). Baseline VO2max and bike-ride times to
fatigue were established. Treatments were administered for a period of 7 days using a
randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study design. After treatment both
VO2max and ride time to fatigue were determined. Seven days of quercetin feedings were
associated with a modest increase in VO2max (3.9% vs. placebo; p < .05) along with a
substantial (13.2%) increase in ride time to fatigue (p <.05). These data suggest that as little as
7 days of quercetin supplementation can increase endurance without exercise training in
untrained participants. These benefits of quercetin may have important implications for
enhancement of athletic and military performance. This apparent increase in fitness without
exercise training may have implications beyond that of performance enhancement to health
promotion and disease prevention.

Book Review: Born to Run
Christopher McDougall
Published May, 2009

Full of incredible characters, amazing athletic achievements, cutting edge science, and most of all inspiration, "Born to
Run" is an epic adventure that began with one simple question, "Why does my foot hurt?". Christopher McDougall is a
slightly overweight would-be runner who can't understand why he can't run injury free. In his quest for an answer, he
sets off to find the tribe of the world's greatest distance runners, the Tarahumara. Through his searches he finds out that
everything he thought he knew about running is wrong.
The Tarahumara Indians, living in some of the most desolate canyons and mountains of Mexico are practitioners of a lost
art. For centuries they have practiced techniques that allow them to run for hundreds of miles, chasing down everything
from deer to Olympic marathoners, enjoying every step of the way. They are living examples that the natural state of
mankind is to run. Our ancestors killed game by chasing it until it could no longer run. This books explains how, while
telling a fascinating tale of one man's search for understanding and the tail of the greatest race that the world never saw!
This book is a must read. It is entertaining enough that you won't be able to put it down, while affirming everything you
know to be true as a runner. You don't want to miss this book! (Click the link and check out the short video).
