And eat raw fish.<\/p>\n<p>Capwell, the national runner-up in the 800 meters at the 2015 indoor NCAA Championships, says his routine of eating sushi the night before meets started back in fourth grade after he and his dad sampled some at an Asian market. Nowadays, sushi is reserved for nights before big races\u2014\u201cit\u2019s a bit pricey,\u201d says Capwell\u2014but there\u2019s another element to his training routine that likely plays a larger part in his success: exercise science.<\/p>\n<aside>Capwell listens to rap and rock to stay pumped during his hour-long warmup. Three songs that always do the trick:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Duran Duran\u2019s<br \/>\n\u201cHungry Like the Wolf\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Kanye West\u2019s<br \/>\n\u201cThrough the Wire\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Journey\u2019s<br \/>\n\u201cFaithfully\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Since 2014, Capwell has been working with physiologist Shannon Grady. Every eight to 10 weeks, Capwell gets tested running repeat 800s, starting off with an interval of 2:50 before repeating the run, with each subsequent interval decreasing by 10 seconds. Between runs, Grady takes a drop of blood from Capwell\u2019s finger and measures how much lactic acid his body has built up and is processing. With those results, Grady designs workouts and velocities that Capwell should hit during training and relays that will get his heart rate into optimal zones to allow his body to better process the lactic acid.<\/p>\n<p>Capwell\u2019s work with Grady also led to a new pre-race warmup routine\u2014one specifically designed for him. It includes a 15-minute walk; joint mobility training through ankle, knee, and hip spins; sprints; and a set of drills that includes static stretching, squats, and leg swings. Altogether, it takes him about an hour. When he\u2019s done, only two steps remain to his pre-race ritual: clear his mind and step to the line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sushi\u2014and science\u2014propel runner Dylan Capwell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":102,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"image_focus":"{\"x\":52,\"y\":15}","hide_title":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[94,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-119","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-athletics","category-play"],"thumbnail":"<img width=\"246\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/03\/Dylan-Capwel-246x300.jpg\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-102 wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" style=\"object-position:52% 15%\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/03\/Dylan-Capwel-246x300.jpg 246w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/03\/Dylan-Capwel-768x937.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/03\/Dylan-Capwel-839x1024.jpg 839w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/03\/Dylan-Capwel-1120x1367.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/03\/Dylan-Capwel-560x684.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/03\/Dylan-Capwel-280x342.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/03\/Dylan-Capwel-320x391.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/03\/Dylan-Capwel-640x781.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/03\/Dylan-Capwel-2800x3418.jpg 2800w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/03\/Dylan-Capwel-1400x1709.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/03\/Dylan-Capwel-1024x1250.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/03\/Dylan-Capwel-1536x1875.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/03\/Dylan-Capwel-828x1011.jpg 828w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/03\/Dylan-Capwel-720x879.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/03\/Dylan-Capwel-360x439.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/03\/Dylan-Capwel-4x5.jpg 4w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/03\/Dylan-Capwel.jpg 3000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 246px) 100vw, 246px\" \/>","catString":"Athletics, Play","issue":"Spring 2017","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":615,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119\/revisions\/615"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/102"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
