Greeting Paragon Runners,
The Paragon Tuesday Night Run could be some of the most fun you can have getting in a good workout! Flyby’s! If you have never heard of those not to fear! They are simple and fun, promise! You might also have heard them called Wind Sprints. Quoting Healthcentral.com/ –
“What Are Wind Sprints?
Wind sprint is a familiar term to athletes. For them it means to sprint or go very fast. But it’s the first word — WIND — that should really be emphasized, because the purpose of the exercise is to get momentarily winded. Athletes have to go very fast to get winded. Out-of-shape people can get winded from just walking. (It might have been easier to explain this technique if I had made up a new name for it, such as “The Get Winded Exercise.”)
If you want to become a person who burns LOTS of fat during aerobic exercise, then you have to raise the level at which you exercise. Doing little bursts to “get winded” in the middle of your regular aerobic exercise session is what raises that level. Plus, wind sprints add intensity and challenge to your workouts without the danger of getting injured.)”
These runs are a lot of fun and simple. You’ll work together with similarly paced runners, feel your fast and also have some time to relax.

Be Well,
James P.
