you should never have to train alone if you’d like company. This guide is not only an event guide, but also a guide to local clubs. If you’re looking for a running buddy or someone to be by your side as your knock out a long bike ride, our list of local clubs should help point you towards others with similar interests. Joining a club can provide you with companionship, motivation and a sense of community unlike anything else in active sports, and there is certainly no shortage of endurance clubs in the area.

If you need gear to prepare for the upcoming season, you’re in the right place as well. We have a comprehensive list of stores that can help you find the right pair of shoes, buy a wetsuit, adjust your bike to fit you perfectly or even provide answers to questions you may have about your sport of choice. There are many high-quality stores throughout the city and suburbs, all of which can help outfit you to get on your way to achieving your goals for the year.

And, as always, Chicago Athlete will be here every step of the way, keeping you up-todate on the local endurance sports scene. Stay active!

LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE

CHICAGO ATHLETE’S DICTIONARY

Criterium, fartlek, peloton: the world of endurance sports is full of words and phrases you aren’t likely to come across in everyday conversation. Whether you’re new to a sport or just need a refresher on what makes a bike pedal clipless, Chicago Athlete’s guide to the endurance sports language is here to help.

RUNNING

Bandit: A person running a race who did not pay the entry fee.

BQ: Boston Qualifier. Refers to a time standard established by the Boston Athletic Association that determines whether or not an individual is eligible to register for the Boston Marathon.

CARA: The Chicago Area Runners Association, a local advocacy group that works to expand, motivate, support and celebrate the running community in Chicagoland.

Chip timed: A race where an electronic chip attached either to the runner’s shoe or bib tracks a participant’s time.

Corral: A way of organizing the start line at a race. Generally, race directors organize corrals by time, with fastest runners in front.

CQ: Chicago Qualifier, a time that enables those interested in running the 2014 Bank of America Chicago Marathon to earn a guaranteed entry to the race instead of using the lottery.

Cross training: Any activity other than running that helps maintain or enhance fitness.

Dreadmill: A nickname for the treadmill, mostly used among those who would rather run anywhere but the treadmill.

Fartlek: Swedish for “speed play.” A form of speedwork that involves running faster for any length of time.

Fun Run: A race without official timing or official distance.

Iliotibial (IT) band: A band of fascia that connects the hips and knees. Used to stabilize the knee during running, a variety of conditions can easily irritate the IT band and cause iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS), which often manifests itself as pain outside the knee joint.

Intervals: A form of speedwork that involves running faster for a predetermined distance or amount of time followed by a recovery period of another predetermined distance or time.

Marathon: A race that is 26.2 miles, never more, never less.

Negative split: to run later portions of a race faster than early portions.

Pace: The speed at which one completes a run, usually in terms of minutes per mile.

PR: the abbreviation for personal record, the fastest time a person has recorded in a race for that particular distance. Also known as a personal best.

Point-to-point: a race that starts and finishes in two different locations, unlike a loop or out-and-back course, which usually start and finish in the same general area.

Shin splints: The everyday term for medial tibial stress syndrome, a common running injury that involves pain in the lower half of the leg. Shin splints often begin as damage to the muscle tissue in the lower leg, but can progress to a stress fracture if ignored.

Set of 50s and 100s: Two lengths and four lengths in a 25-yard pool.

VO2 max: The maximum amount of oxygen a person can consume per minute during exercise. A higher VO2 max allows the heart to deliver more oxygen to the muscles.

Clipless: Pedal system in which the pedals clip into the soles of special biking shoes.

Great Course! Great Goodie Bag!

AMAZING RACE Sunday, June 22

* International * Sprint * *Team International * Sprint Duathlon * * Junior Triathlon * * *

One of the reasons the Pleasant Prairie Triathlon is rated one of the Midwest’s best races is because our course is fast! You should expect great times at our event. Pleasant Prairie is a great area and Prairie Springs Park is amazing. Lake Andrea is a spring-fed, clean inland lake typically as smooth as glass with delightful water temperatures. Our bike and run courses are primarily flat with limited curves. Plus you bike in a beautiful country setting with an inside the park scenic run around Lake Andrea. It’s a great course with a great goodie bag!

USA Today: “A Must Run!”

Just named one of 14 spring races in the nation that “all runners should try,” Kalamazoo gets rave reviews from participants, with lots of music, crowd support and a Midwestern party feel like no other. Check it out.

Sports and Ortho Physical Therapy was established in 2003 to provide clients with an alternative to the busy, corporate type clinic. Physical Therapist owned and operated, Sports and Ortho wanted to bring the hands-on, personalized treatment back to the world of Physical Therapy.

Our therapists are highly trained as movement specialists and provide each client with a comprehensive evaluation to find and treat the source of the problem, not just the symptoms. Our philosophy is based in Manual Therapy giving each client our hands on treatments not just hooking them up to machines. Our exercises are based on function, not on exercises that mean nothing to the specific client or sport. If you are tired with the over loaded clinics and therapists that don’t seem to have the time to devote to your care, try us, you will become a fan much like thousands of our former clients.

The Lakefront Trail

ChiCago’s PoPular running and Biking Path

Q Tell me a bit about yourself. a I’m an 18-mile path that spans from Hollywood Ave. in Edgewater to 71st

St. in South Shore. I’m a little hard to put in a box. I’m not just one straight line from Hollywood down to 71st, after all. I have several smaller paths that both alleviate congestion and provide different surface options depending on what users need or want. I’m particularly popular during the summer, but you can almost always find runners, cyclists and pedestrians taking advantage of my vehicle-free environment.

liance and Friends of the Park joined forces to release “People on the Trail,” a report detailing the experiences of over 1,600 trail users. The report provides suggestions for future trail updates, including access point design, general safety and proper maintenance. The Fullerton Shoreline Redevelopment Project, scheduled to begin this winter, will also impact me. The plan calls for 5.8 acres of new land just south of Fullerton and will reposition me to help ease the crowding that tends to happen in that area.

Q What do you think makes you unique? a I showcase one of Chicago’s main attractions: Lake Michigan. I run right

Q Is there anything you’d like to say to the readers of chicago athlete? a I know that we all have training runs to finish, beaches to visit and commutes

past nine different beaches, so if you’re looking to access Chicago’s shoreline, I’ve got you covered. Because I span so much of the lakefront, I allow users to see the incredible diversity of the city. I pass by many popular tourist destinations, including Navy Pier, the Buckingham Fountain, the Museum Campus, Soldier Field, McCormick Place and the Museum of Science and Industry. In my humble opinion, I also think I offer the best views of Chicago’s skyline from just about every point.

Q What can we expect from you in the future? a Last May, the Chicago Area Runners Association, the Active Transportation Al-

annual 2014

to complete, but please: share me. If you’re moving slower than those around you (routinely being passed by other pedestrians or cyclists is a good indicator that this is the case), please move as far to the right as possible. Use common sense when turning around or crossing streets. At the risk of sounding like your parent, please look both ways before stepping into the path of oncoming traffic, vehicular or otherwise. Let others know when you are passing them and make sure you’re doing your part to help me be a welcoming environment for everyone.
