Who is monica hargrove

Brachmann: What do you do for maintenance? Hargrove: I'm fortunate in that my coach is also a chiropractor. So I get adjusted twice a week to keep everything aligned, and that has really made a difference.

I also get deep-tissue massages once a week and acupuncture about once a month. I try to take an ice bath a couple of times a week after hard workouts, and once a week -- usually on my Wednesday recovery day -- I do Epsom salt baths. The foam roller is definitely key, both before and after every practice, and I make sure I'm stretching well too. Brachmann: What are your favorite exercises?

Hargrove: I really enjoy plyometrics -- single-leg hops up the stadium steps, box jumps. Brachmann: What do you tell yourself when you feel like you can't train any more? Hargrove: The is a really difficult race, so I'd rather deal with being tired in practice than being tired in a meet and getting beat. I just tell myself that preparation is key, and you have to fight through those days when you're not feeling your best. You might come to a race on a day you're not feeling your best, but you still have to compete.

So I try to get myself in the mindset of having to give my best. Plus, I know my competitors are training hard. Also, a lot of times in track I'll surprise myself; on days I'm not feeling well mentally, I can still get over that and have a great workout. In fact, my best race came on a day I was feeling the worst. Brachmann: How has your training evolved over your career? Hargrove: The past two years I've focused a lot more on technique, trying to run correctly and hold my form as I start to get tired.

My mentality when I first started was, 'If you're in great shape, it doesn't matter how you look, as long as you finish. It makes you more efficient and makes everything a little easier, as I've learned.

Brachmann: How important is your diet to your training? Hargrove: Having a good diet is hard for me. A lot of the time, I think I run so much that I'm going to burn off anything I eat.

But I've definitely gotten into healthy eating. I bought myself a juicer and have been using that every day. I've cut down on my carbs, I try to get some good protein every meal and I try to fill my plate with veggies. A typical meal is a piece of fish or chicken, a baked potato or sweet potato, veggies and some fruit for dessert.

I do have a sweet tooth, and my treat after races is usually ice cream. Right now, I'm pretty much competing every weekend, so after races I treat myself to ice cream or maybe a brownie or cookie. Brachmann: What is your must-have training food? Hargrove: I don't feel right if I don't have a banana. They have good carbs and a lot of potassium to keep me from cramping, especially when it's hot.
