U.T. gets bid for Nationals Erik, UT runner and Personal Trainer, raced in Waco, Texas in the fifty degree wind for 8000 meters on Saturday, November 11, with a finishing time of 30:30. University of Texas cross country runners had five runners place in the top fifteen and wil be running in a week for Nationals in Indiana. Houston Personal Trainer Melissa acknowledges that running has always been a core part of her training. "I do not run with the same speed or intensity as ColoradoPersonal Trainer Erik does", she said, "but I always include some intervals and  running each week because it seems to be the most effective way to workout in Houston and burn body fat, as long as a person does not have knee or feet problems." Erik has a body fat of around five percent which is an endurance athlete level of body fat. But he not only has low body fat, he also has high muscle mass which gives him a fast metabolism. This combination is good for maintaining good health and high energy.
