Minnetrista mom of 3 uses data and science through Edina lab to improve her life
The beginning of August is peak training season for the Twin Cities Marathon. One participant of this year's race is a mom of three from Minnetrista, Minnesota, who is taking extra steps to make sure she's running her best and in the safest way. "I had my third baby. I wasn't feeling good," said Valerie Vadnais Wall. "I was tired all the time taking care of everybody else and not myself." She's been running for the last 10 years, and has seen huge improvement in her health. "I've lost 65 pounds," said Vadnais Wall. She loved running so much that she joined a group of women in the Chaska/Chanhassen community to keep her motivated. "I decided that I want to have fun and join something that is empowering, and it was Mom's On The Run," said Vadnais Wall. Now, she's preparing for her fourth marathon, which is taking place in the Twin Cities, and has decided to take her training to the next level. As a dentist who co-owns a practice, she believes in the science and importance of data. "I don't want to succumb to the health diseases, like diabetes, high blood pressure. My mom has dementia, and I didn't want that for myself, so I wanted to take the power to have the data and then to do better," said Vadnais Wall, who came to Kelly McKenzie at the Human Powered Health lab in Edina, Minnesota. "It's nice to have data to validate what you're doing is working for you," said McKenzie. At the lab, McKenzie measures her oxygen levels, heart rate, bone strength and balance. "For her going into premenopause, and then menopause eventually, you want to make sure that your bone is in a really healthy spot, so that when your estrogen starts to decrease, your bone will naturally go with it," said McKenzie. This type of testing is not reserved for elite athletes. It's recommended for everyone seeking to further their knowledge on their health and well-being. "I'm not a professional athlete, so it's a little intimidating, but [Kelly] made it super easy and comfortable, and I'm excited to know that all this hard work is paying off," said Vadnais Wall. This type of testing will help Vadnais Wall with basic things outside of running, like lifting groceries and walking up stairs, to avoid any injuries. "I do feel that, at 51, I'm in the best shape of my life, even after my 20s and 30s, so I'm excited," said Vadnais Wall. "I do want to be that role model to other people, to other women who are middle-aged." Vadnais Wall will be running the Twin Cities Marathon on Oct. 5 with her kids cheering her on along the course.

Lorena Wiebes makes it two from two after second stage of UAE Tour Women
Lorena Wiebes produced another sensational sprint to the finishing line to complete back-to-back victories in the UAE Tour Women on Friday. The SD Worx-Protime's Dutch rider punched her right hand in the air as she sprinted clear of a bunch of five rivals to complete her second stage win and retain the leader's jersey after the 111-kilometre trip from Al Dhafra Fort to Al Mirfa. Lily Williams (Human Powered Health) took second spot ahead of the UAE Team ADQ trio of Lara Gillispie, Elisa Longo Borghini and Karlijn Swinkels, who came home in that order. Wiebes, Gillespie, Williams, Longo Borghini and Swinkels were the five riders who battled through crosswinds to spend all day out in front, forming an echelon within the first few kilometres of the stage and holding off the peloton. 'I didn't expect to win from a group of only five riders that went so early, especially because I was last to come across and the peloton has been close to us for such a long time,' Wiebes said. 'We got a one minute lead in the headwind part, and we kept going. I was lucky to have three UAE riders in the group. They kept riding for the GC for Elisa [Longo Borghini]. 'It made it easier for me to sprint to victory. But you're never 100 per cent sure to win a sprint. Having won here two years ago, I knew which position I had to be in after the last curve. 'It felt like a very fast race all day, so I knew it was hard for the chasers. Now I hope to also win the last stage. It's something I'm yet to achieve in the UAE Tour.' It was a challenging second day of racing along the fast, flat desert roads, with an average speed of 48.4km per hour. 'I felt it was really fast. That's the thing that I knew from the chasing group behind, that it was hard to chase us back, as they could not go much faster than we did,' Wiebes said. Saturday's penultimate 152km Stage 3 from Al Ain Qasr Al Muwaiji to the summit of Jebel Hafeet is the longest and decisive sector which UAE Team ADQ will be using to set up Longo Borghini for the overall lead. The 2023 winner of the UAE Tour when racing for Lidi-Trek before her switch to UAE Team ADQ is well placed with her team backing her to the hilt. 'For sure it was the plan to go full gas from the start. We were prepared for the crosswinds, but it wasn't the plan to be only five riders in the lead,' Swinkels said of Stage 2. 'We had a tough day, but we had a plan to give time to Elisa [Longo Borghini] and she's happy to start tomorrow's stage with an advantage of one and a half minutes. 'She's strong in the mountains but she's also very strong in the crosswinds. I guess she'll have a bit less stress tomorrow. 'We were never really sure to stay away but we thought we could when the difference was two minutes. If we managed to keep the pace high, it would be hard for them to close the gap. 'In the last part, we gave all the energy we had left so the gap would be as big as possible. I think we did a really good job as a team. I don't think the Black Jersey (leader of the intermediate sprint) is a goal for us. I only went for it to favour Elisa with the bonus seconds. 'The Black Jersey is the warmest one so it's not what Elisa wanted to wear up to Jebel Hafeet. But we hope that after tomorrow, she'll wear the Red Jersey.' 1. L.
