Top 2017 Performances
TOP MALE Evan Schwartz
When and how did you first start running? “I started running my sophomore year of high school. I liked sports and wasn’t as good as I had hoped in some of the other sports and ran into a friend on the cross country team over the summer. He said where they were practicing and told me to show up the next day. So I rode my bike the next morning to Pearson Park met them and it has just snowballed since.”

up. I started running more seriously in middle school and high school and eventually ran for a year in college before moving to road racing in college.”
sible races with great competition. If I had to pick one race it would be the USATF Marathon Championships in California where I ran an Olympic Trials Qualifying time.”
How do you train and what is your favorite workout? “I tend to favor high mileage training, averaging 120 miles a week in 2017. My favorite workout tends to be more long distance intervals and faster long runs. As I move closer to marathon race day I prefer long tempos close to race pace while still adding in a bit of speed work.”
Any advice for runners who want to improve their running? “I usually sound like a broken record, but my top two tips are always stay consistent and have fun with it. Running should be a fun thing and not a stress inducing activity. Consistent training isn’t complicated, but it ends up making you your best self in the long run.”
What do you like about running and racing? “I really enjoy the shift in mentality when it comes to race day. Training can sometimes get monotonous but having a race on the calendar stokes the fire and gets you in a competitive mindset. I enjoy race day because it’s a chance to stack up your training and efforts against other runners and the clock.” What were your favorite races last year and why? “My favorite races were the USATF Championships I participated in. I had the opportunity to travel to multiple states and toe the line with full time professional runners where I was able to put together my best pos-
What are your running goals for this year? “My goals this year are to stay injury free and run faster. I would love to run 2:15 or faster in the marathon and finish top 10 at a USATF Championship.”
TOP MALE MASTER Matthew Folk Other male masters: Curt Bachus, Brian Daniels, Thomas Goldsby, Fred Kieser, Harvey Lewis, Dominic Murarra , Shane Murphy, Jason Newport, Ken Richendollar, Dustin Sprague and Steve Stobart, Matthew Folk, 42, lives in Perrysburg and manages the Second Sole store
How do you train and what is your favorite workout? “I usually do around 8 runs a week, mostly in the mornings around town and then our Thursday Night Group Runs from the store. I do a long run every week and will try to do one or two speed workouts a week as well. Lately the go to workout has been varying minute fartleks such on 2 min hard, 1 minute easy.” What do you like about running and racing? “I like the feeling of accomplishment. I like putting in the time and working toward an end result. Things vary from run to run. Some days it’s just nice to unplug and get out and run and clear your head a bit. Other days it becomes a little more goal oriented.” What were your favorite races last year and why? “I think my favorite race last summer was Runner’s On Parade 5K in Ft Wayne. I had started doing some track work again at the beginning of summer to try to break 16 for the 5k again. A week prior I did a 5k and was alone and missed cracking 16 by about 30 seconds. I was a little bummed and thought maybe it was a long shot, but decided to try again the following week at Runner’s on Parade. I got locked in on the back of a good pack early on and was able to chase down some guys late and break 16 for the first time of the summer. Was just kinda crazy to drop 40 seconds in one week off a
Joe Patrick 5k, but that is the advantage of running in a deeper competitive race.” Any advice for runners who want to improve their running? “Be consistent, set up a good routine, have fun, and find others with similar goals to run with now and again to keep you motivated.” What are your running goals for this year? “A group of friends and I are looking at doing the Dexter to Ann Arbor Half Marathon as it is the 2018 USATF Master’s Half Marathon Championship. Will probably try to keep the sub 16 - 5km streak going. Realized a couple years ago I have run at least one sub 16 - 5k every year since 1992, so would be neat to keep it going.”

When and how did you first start running? “Physical activity has been a fun part of my life since earliest memories. Played the big three team sports of baseball, basketball and football throughout my youth and always found time to bike, run, swim, skate, sled, ski, juggle, etc. anything to stay active. In 1974, my freshman year at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP), I started jogging after classes to stay fit and ended up running with the track team. Late October of that year ran my first marathon in 2:42.
When and how did you first start running? “I started running in 1997. My thought at the time was primarily to maintain fitness but I became attracted to the feel of racing.” How do you train and what is your favorite workout? “”I enjoy training but have found that as I’ve aged I need to do more cross-training. I’m running three to four days a week now and cross-training on the other days with one day off per week. My favorite running workouts are measured fartlek (where I control the distance with step counts) and tempo runs. These workouts give me the fitness I need to race without the risk of injury that the track presents.” What do you like about running and racing? “You know it’s funny I really don’t like running as much as I am addicted to it. As it relates to racing I enjoy the internal struggle of accepting the discomfort it presents.” What were your favorite races last year and why? “I would have to say the Columbus 10K, Jeff McGowan Memorial 5K and the Columbus Marathon. I enjoy the Columbus 10K and the Columbus Marathon as the size and competitiveness of the fields are great and I will always try to run the Jeff McGowan Memorial 5K due to the McGowan family commitment to running in Central Ohio. Any advice for runners who want to improve their running? “”I have learned that the key for me to continue to improve is to stay healthy so that I can run. Along those lines, I try to take time off when I feel something not quite right. This becomes an art form because if we didn’t run every time we felt something we all would have had our last run so knowing your body and what is “good” pain
Kerry Green
vs. “bad” pain is the trick.” What are your running goals for this year? “I had surgery in the middle of March last year and didn’t feel like I was in good shape until August or so. This year I’m hoping to stay healthy and get ready for a competitive 2019 race season as I will turn 60 in November of this year.”
TOP MALE SENIOR Kerry Green Other top male seniors: Daniel Conner, Doad Edwards, Warren Elzy, Pete Fickert, John Gee, Ron Legg, Bill Long, Terry McCluskey, George Sellers and Chris Thieke Kerry Green, 63, lives in Mansfield, where he is Director of Cardiopulmonary Operations at OhioHealth Mansfield Hospital.
Top 2017 Performances Ashville Half Marathon .......1:30:26 Charlottesville Half Marathon ..........................1:31:28 Columbus Capital City Half Marathon...................1:27:48 Pittsburgh Half Marathon...1:27:40 Acadia National Park Half Marathon...................1:29:29 Glacier National Park Half Marathon...................1:33:09 Presque Isle Half Marathon 1:29:09 Pittsburgh EQT 10 Miler .....1:07:27
Back in the 1970’s the running theory was high mileage, so by my senior year running 110 miles per week I completed the 1977 NYC Marathon in 2:27 and the 1978 Boston Marathon in 2:26. Then it was off to Ohio University in Athens for graduate school where my education, career and training were influenced by professors Bill Haviland, Fritz Hagerman and Kerry Ragg, good friends and excellent runners. Interestingly, in the 1980’s while working at Bethesda Hospital in Zanesville, reduced my weekly mileage to 55 miles and still ran sub 2:30 marathons at Boston, Columbus and New York City.” How do you train now and what is your favorite workout? “Currently run 4 – 5 days per week averaging 30 – 45 miles. Two of these days are high intensity efforts with some type of speed work (intervals, fartlek, hill repeats or time trials) and I always take the following day off from running to assure adequate recovery. My favorite workout for many years continues to be running a very hilly 11 mile loop on the north side of the Clear Fork Reservoir. Start by running a 3 mile warm up, followed by 10 – 15 repetitions of 1, 2 or 3 minutes of hard running with a 1 minute recovery jog between each rep. At the end I throw in a hard 1 mile effort before jogging the final mile home. This is a keystone workout I do year round as it links speed and endurance providing a solid foundation to race all distances.” What do you like about run-
ning and racing? “I like feeling fit and energized, and running is a simple way to accomplish that while enjoying the great outdoors. Often use races as an excuse to travel the country to visit family and friends while exploring national parks, interesting towns and running beautiful trials. Training and racing provide great outlets for pushing the limits and I seem to thrive on hard efforts. While the 1970’s and 1980’s were all about setting PR’s and running sub 2:30 marathons, the fun now comes from battling Father Time to continue running strong and healthy.” What were you favorite races last year and why? “I love to travel and run challenging courses, and the following half marathons made for great vacation getaways in 2017: Ashville, Charlottesville, Acadia Nation Park (NP), Glacier NP, Crater Lake NP and the XTERRA World Trail Championship in Hawaii. Each area provides its own unique combination of adventures to hike, bike, trail run, golf, swim, snorkel, surf, sightsee and of course enjoy local restaurants. Always look forward to the Columbus and Pittsburgh Half Marathons to catch up with friends and run highly competitive, well organized races. Many good memories in Columbus through the decades from running the inaugural Columbus Marathon in 1980, followed by sub 2:30 efforts in 1981 and 1984. More recently happy to have the half marathon option in Columbus and proud to have won my age group the last seven consecutive years.” Any advice for runners who want to improve their running? “1. Plan for slow, steady progress. Set a worthy goal and go for it. Embrace each challenge and give your body time to build the endurance and speed necessary for success. 2. Get to know your amazing body. Learn key strength and flexibility exercises to run strong and avoid injuries. We are all individuals, so find the workouts that give you the best results. 3. The rules change as you age. Run less miles, emphasizing quality over quantity. Find a favorite cross training activity
Emily Richards that minimizes impact and assists recovery. Give rest and recovery great respect. 4. Chase your dreams and count your blessings daily. Keep it Fun!!!” What are your goals for this year? “First goal is always to stay healthy, as beyond age 50 the battle with Father Time to run strong and healthy is a major challenge. Next goal would be continuing to run some sub 6:00 minute miles when doing mile repeats in 2018. Finally, when accomplishing the 5th Decade Sub 3 Marathon in 2010, the thought of maintaining the fitness to run a Sub 3 marathon in a 6th Decade seemed impossible. However, now that we are less than two years away from 2020, it seems more like a monumental challenge than impossible. The first step in this challenge is running a 1:25 half marathon to set up a sub 3 marathon in 2020. So with 2020 on the horizon my focus will be on running a 1:25 half marathon. Challenging goals and exciting times ahead.”

My mom ran track at Medina, so that’s how I first became interested in the sport, but I really always loved to run. More specifically, I loved to compete. I always found myself winning foot races against the boys in my grade when I was younger. I played soccer for 11 years and was really only good at it because I could run. So eventually I switched over to track, where I mostly focused on sprints up until college.” How do you train and what is your favorite workout? “I do middle distance training, which includes running cross country in the fall for my program. So I spend most of the fall building a strength base through cross, and then transition to doing more speed work during track season. As someone with a sprints background, I might do more long sprints-type work than some of my teammates, but for the most part, my training is considered “middle distance” and my weekly mileage ranges from about 40-50 miles a week. My favorite workout is called increasing interval. It’s an interval workout that starts with 100m at 1500 pace (200m during outdoor season) and then moves up in 10m intervals (20m outdoor) that become increasingly longer and faster until you reach a 200 at 400 pace (or 300 at 400 outdoor).? What do you like about running and racing? “For me, every race adds a new piece of wisdom. I think most of my success has been from learning
maintain a consistent and disciplined schedule. I’ve learned it’s best to adjust runs and workouts when my legs send a message. Since I focus on longer races now, I mainly focus of tempo runs or something to the turn of 2 mile repeats. Right now, I’d say 2 mile repeats are my favorite. A touch faster than tempos--which I feel I need to stay competitive in some of these elite masters events.”
from previous races and experiences in a way that helps me tackle the challenges to come. So I would say that my favorite part about running and racing is always having something to work toward. Even my best race has parts of it that I could have done better. And the bad races don’t seem that bad when you look at them as an opportunity to learn.” What were your favorite races last year and why? I had so much fun competing in the post-season last year. Running 2:00 for 800 meters in Nashville was an amazing experience, and competing at USATF Championships was a great way for me to jump onto the national scene and be challenged at one of the highest levels. If I had to pick one race, I would say the US semis was my favorite. I felt like I raced fearlessly and aggressively because making the final was something I really wanted to do. The feeling of accomplishment that followed was beyond words.” Any advice for runners who want to improve their running? “I think the best thing you can do as a runner, whether recreationally or as an elite, is to set goals for yourself. Aim high. Running is a sport that’s different for everyone, but everyone has the opportunity to be as good as they want to be. Understand that you’re not going to reach your ultimate goal right away-- it takes time and lots of dedication--but find a good way to create goal “stepping stones” that help you both chart your progress and keep moving in the direction of your wildest dreams. Learn from your mistakes and incorporate that new knowledge into your goal-setting.” What are your running goals for this year? “I think that my goal is always to strive to be a better version of myself than I was the day or season before. Whether that’s breaking the 2-minute barrier in the 800, improving myself in longer events like the 1500m or mile, learning how to attack championship-style racing more effectively, keeping my body healthy, or being a better leader and teammate, I would say that my ultimate goal this year is to be better than I was
Connie Gardner What do you like about running and racing? “I’ve been super fortunate to run in some high level road races @ the Masters level. It’s been super fun connecting with old friends from the college days. I’ve also been fortunate to meet and spend time with new friends, as well.”

In fact, I arrived on this earth ahead of schedule, forcing my dad to rush home early from a track meet! My dad is the legendary Dan McClimon-who coached the Wisconsin Badgers from 1971-1983 before his untimely death.” How do you train and what is your favorite workout? “I
What were your favorite races last year and why? “Peachtree was probably my favorite race. It’s been on my bucket list for a long time. I’ve always been chicken about racing in Atlanta on July 4. But after running through Ohio humidity the last 10 years, I’m not sure why I’ve been so hesitant! The Atlanta Track Club treats every invited runner (yes--even those running 37 minutes for 10K) like royalty!” Any advice for runners who want to improve their running? “Finish easy runs with strides! The research proves your legs respond to what they last remember. Quick strides or turnovers at the end of easy seasons is so important. Now I need to practice what I preach:)” What are your running goals for this year? “I’m super lucky to be able to help out my daughter’s XC and Track Team at Minster High School. My biggest goal is set an example of hard work & discipline for these awesome young ladies!”

I raced my first marathon in Columbus in 1981. I was very inspired by the great distance runners of the 70’s. Watching Bill Rodgers in the Boston Marathon, my grandparents lived in the Boston area. Watching the 1972 Olympics, I lived in Bowling Green at the time, I will never forget that performance by Dave Wottle a local runner. These runners ran with heart, they made me believe I could do the same.” How do you train and what is your favorite workout? “My training has changed as I grow older. For the most part, I train following a basic marathon training plan. But to this plan I add back to back long runs on the weekends. As I age I am finding the speed workouts to be more challenging, often replacing them with hill repeat days. Cross training such as swimming and weight training are essential to stay injury free.” What do you like about running and racing? “Running has been great for me all of my life. I find it very easy to fit into my schedule, its right out the door,

2017 RUNOHIO Runners of the Year, Cont. anytime day or night.. Running gives me peace of mind. Racing has helped build my self confidence. Both peace of mind along with confidence have played essential roles in being a single parent.
What were your favorite races last year and why? I have few favorite races in 2017 because they were records. * Napa Valley Marathon (California) in March “age division course record 3:37:37” * Champagne Marathon (Illinois) in April “National age division 3:31:01” * Columbus Marathon in October “69 single age World Record 3:29:41” * Also I set a 69 single age World Record on 15K at Tulsa (Oklahoma) & Crim 10 mile (Michigan)
Last year I enjoyed Canal Corridor 100 mile and Eagle Up 24 hour in Canal Fulton. Both races were put on by ultrarunners with great resumes. Both races raised great amounts of money for charities. Both races showed off northeast Ohio. I love local runs that are set up to show off our parks and make money for local charities at the same time. Canal Corridor 100 made me proud to be from Akron.” Any advice for runners who want to improve their running? “When I am trying to improve my running I make time to run with training partners that are stronger than I am. We have a fantastic running community in this area, I have no problem finding people of all ages to push me to a better level of fitness.” What are your running goals for this year? “For this year, I still plan on racing a few 100 milers. I will be heading back to Boston again in April. But, I think I am most interested in focusing on shorter distances such as the 5k or even the mile on the track. I would like to see if there is any way I can get this old body to run fast. (... and I think I can pull off a fast beer mile.)”

Jeannie Rice When and how did you first start running? “35 years ago at age 35, 5 women in my family (mom and 3 sisters & me) returned to home town Seoul, Korea and Tokyo, Japan after a 3 weeks fabulous girls trip but came back with several extra pounds and wanted to lose right away and I started to jog.... A friend (runner) talked me into participating in local but well known “Johnnycake Jog 5 mile” with her, she took 3rd place and I was 4th right behind her and got the bug and following year in May 1984 I ran my 1st Cleveland Marathon (3:45) and that fall ran 2nd marathon in Columbus (3:16) and qualify for Boston 1985.”
Any advice for runners who want to improve their running? “Set your own goal and train for either it’s for fitness or like to race. Try to hook up with your pace/goal runners and help each others to improve. I always set the reasonable/ reachable goal and work very hard to accomplish them and if I don’t reach my goal? I don’t get disappointed and just go for the next time. We all have a good day, not a good day and bad race day....” What are your running goals for this year? “My next big race will be Boston in April (my 114th marathon). My goal for 2018??? Break the age division “World Records” on several different distance. Is it possible? Yes! if I can stay healthy and injury free....”
