Drive Fitness Team Twilight Run Results

Congratulations to the Drive Fitness Team for completing the Brisbane Twilight Run on Sunday 24 March. Our 10km team came 10th & our  5km team can 17th out of 26 teams - well done! A special congratulations to those of you who achieved your goal, whether it be just finishing. beating last year's time or setting a new personal best.

It was the most crazy fun run I have ever participated in, I think everyone who was there would say the same. Despite the wild weather all Drive Fitness team members made it safely to the finish line but I think it's fair to say that conditions were not ideal for setting personal records.

Running in heavy rain & strong winds with water up to ankles in some parts whilst dodging falling branches resembled more of a 'Tough Mudder' event than a fun run - for those of you in our Tough Mudder team, consider it preparation for August!

Official Brisbane Twilight Run times can be looked up here: http://www.racetecresults.com/results.aspx?CId=16287&RId=35.We are now looking ahead to Bridge to Brisbane in August/ September for our next Drive Fitness fun run team entry, keep up your training!

What Vegetables Are Starchy?

When we think about eating for weight control we rarely consider vegetables as a potential pitfall. The public health message about vegetables in my opinion is far to vague. If you simply follow the general recommendation of 'going for 5' everyday with no other considerations you may end up with far more carbohydrate on your plate then you need. Starch is a carbohydrate, and as the name suggests, starchy vegetables have a lot of it.  Let's take a closer look at which vegetables are starchy, how much carbohydrate they contain and how much we really should be having.
