SPOTLIGHT

BY SARAH AHLERS MCINERNEY

delme bartelme When did you start running and why?

I was an ambitious 26 year old living in the Detroit area. I had two children under the age of five and was enrolled in a nightly MBA program. We were a one-vehicle family back then in the 70s, so on the nights I had classes, my husband and I had a precisely tuned routine that rivaled any Formula One Grand Prix pit stop. When he got home from work we were like two factory supervisors, exchanging information during a shift change. I’d give him a quick status update on the children as I climbed into the car, threw my notebooks and books into the passenger seat, and shifted from Park to Reverse. I’d give instructions, my voice rising to a shout as I neared the end of our driveway. Once I was on the main road, I’d crank my window up and settle in for my drive to the university. It was only thirty miles away, but, I drove during the height of the evening rush hour.

One night, my husband was running late, and I knew I’d be late for class by at least a quarter of an hour. Normally, this wouldn’t be a big deal, but an exam was scheduled for the first hour and I needed every minute to work out solutions to the test questions.

I parked the car and rushed to the building. My class was on the third floor and rather than wait for the elevator, I headed for the stairs. By the time I reached the first floor landing, my heart felt like it was going to explode. Scared, I stopped. I tried to calm down and told myself no test was worth my life. Who would take care of my children if I died?

It sounds a bit melodramatic, but it was the truth. Right then and there I vowed to find a way to make time to get in shape. I owed it to my children. When my neighbor told me she was taking an aerobics class at the local YMCA, I asked her if I could tag along. She said she’d love the company. I learned about continuous activity and how to get my heart rate up. By the end of the class, I was walking regularly and occasionally running. I found I enjoyed the running more than the walking.

What is your best memory from a race?

The first time of any event surely has to be memorable in a very special way. Let me draw for you the finishing miles of running my first marathon–the inaugural Twin Cities Marathon in 1982. I was living in Fargo at the time and after a summer of running along the Red River with a friend who was training for it, I wanted to test myself to see if I could indeed go the distance: 26.2 miles.

I was clueless about signs of overheating and dehydration. It was after mile 18 when I started getting chills. I thought, “What a wonderful system our body is. It’s naturally cooling itself!” I had no idea I was in trouble. Ignorance is truly bliss.

A couple of miles later the splits I had written with blue waterproof ink pen on the backside of my arm had become illegible and I was having difficulty remembering what mile I had just passed. I started asking spectators how far to the finish, and they told me, “Just up and over the hill and you’ll be done.”

I sprinted to the top of the hill. There was no finish in sight. I asked again. “You’re almost there. Just up ahead. After the hill.”

Running as fast as I could, I crested an incline that felt like a mountain, and still no finish. “Liars!” I thought. “These Minnesotans are liars.”

Then I saw the clock. I could make out a 3 followed by 17 or 18. I could not believe I was going to finish under three hours and twenty minutes.That was the qualifying time for the Boston marathon. My first marathon and I qualify for Boston? I passed my own test. I could indeed go the distance!

That year the red, white, and blue tshirt featured two red hearts with the words “Minneapolis to St. Paul, Heart to Heart.” I’ve given or thrown away many racing tshirts, but that one I’ve kept.

What does a typical week of training look like for you?

When I am training for a marathon, I will make a conscious decision to run five times a week. Normally my weekly goal is to run at least three times a week. I was a fair weather runner when I was much younger. Back then, I had no problem skipping months of running and getting right back into it once the weather got warmer.

Now, I need to aim for a weekly mileage of 20 miles during the winter months so I can enjoy going longer distances once spring arrives.

Why are you a member of the MDRA?

When I moved to Minnesota in 2013 I wanted to get familiar with the different venues and courses to keep my running interesting. In my online research I saw the words “Minnesota GRAND PRIX” and I was intrigued. A series of car races in Minnesota? I clicked on the words and the MDRA website popped up.

MDRA’s series of different running races throughout the year with varying distances and locations was perfect. Just what I needed to get familiar with the running scene in my new home. I joined MDRA. I’ve gained so much from participating in this wonderful program.

Participating motivates me to keep running all year round. I’ve met some amazing runners who I count as friends. MDRA has serious SWAG, too. And last but not least, there is a great pizza party to celebrate the ending of a running year and the beginning of another.

FROM THE PRESIDENT DAVE MAREK

H

ello runners. Happy New Year! I hope you en-

joyed the holidays and are looking forward to 2017. As you are probably aware these letters are written a few weeks in advance and, as I type, the polar vortex is in full swing and we are hours away from our second big snow fall. Perfect Minnesota winter running weather! If you don’t believe me show up to one of our Saturday morning Polar Bear runs and you’ll be joined by some hardy folks. But if you are a bit of a weather weanie (to borrow a phrase from my first running coach), we are excited to have another option for getting a few indoor runs in this winter. Yes, stadium running is back! While we missed the Metrodome the past couple of winters we were extremely happy to announce that we have 16 dates this winter at the new U.S. Bank Stadium.

I’m sure many of you have already taken advantage of the December nights and we look forward to seeing you at one of the upcoming runs. You can find more information by following the MDRA on social media as well as the dedicated Indoor Stadium Running Facebook page. The remaining 2017 dates are: January 3, 17, 18, 31 February 3, 6, 21, 23, 27 March 1, 6, 9, 13 We run on the upper concourse from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and the cost is $3 per person. This is a great way to get some workouts in with friends without multiple layers of clothing.

There were many behind the scenes negotiations and trials and tribulations to make this happen. It took a lot of work and there is one person who deserves the credit for doggedly pursuing this and that person is Rick Recker. I want to personally thank Rick here and I ask that you do as well when you see him at the stadium. He was the force behind the original MDRA sponsored Metrodome running. Indoor running at the new stadium would not have happened without him.

Another date to put on your calendar, if you haven’t already, is Saturday, January 21, when we will be celebrating with the MDRA annual party. It starts at 11:00 a.m. with free pizza and a short program honoring the winner of the Ron Daws Distinguished Service award, our Volunteer of the year and the Grand Prix award winners. There will be plenty of fun and socializing with your friends and fellow members. I hope you can attend.

We are coming off a very successful 2016 and the MDRA is in great shape as we move into the new year. I look forward to soon being able to share more exciting news as we are continually looking for ways to improve our organization. We always welcome your input and encourage you to become more involved if you have the time.

Very soon we’ll be looking forward to our spring races and kicking off our spring marathon training class. It’s an exciting time of the year. And remember, in 2017 we will be continuing our Saturday morning Polar Bear runs after

the “polar” has departed the area. We will be coming up with an appropriate name for this but we are looking forward to providing a weekly Saturday morning group run option year-round for those who may not want to join our marathon training class. Bring a friend or two and encourage them to become a member. The more the merrier!

I know the end of these letters may start to sound like a broken record but I do want to extend my appreciation for being a member of the MDRA. You are what makes this organization the premier running organization in the state and I thank you. Here’s looking forward to a great 2017!

Happy running,

Dave Marek President, MDRA Board of Directors

HISTORY

STREAKING Daily (streak) runners in Minnesota

BY STEPHEN DE BOER My, how quickly a year passes when one is having fun running every day! The US Running Streak Association (www.runeveryday.com) continues to keep records on those runners who have covered at least one mile in running mode (treadmills do count) for 365 days or longer. In the past year Minnesota has added another 19 persons to our list giving us a total of 109, one ahead of California with 108 (Texas is third with 83), even though California has eight times as many residents. This means there are 19.86 streak runners for every one million residents in Minnesota, which is over double the next highest rate (8.80 in Wyoming).

An interesting side note is that California and Minnesota reached 100 on the same day but, since Victoria Leafgren’s streak began in 1991, I’m giving Minnesota the “award”. Here are the recent additions: With the addition of Brian F, Mary S, Catherine and Kevin, we now have six families that have members who have run or are running daily: DeBoers (4) – Steve, Dave, Wendell, Kevin Duban (Wendell’s grandson) – two currently active Gilmans (3) – Pete, Al, Liz – Al active Cases (3) – Sherry, Paul, Klare – all three active Funks (2) – Jennifer, Brian – both active Magnuson/Sarafolean (2) – John, Mary – both active Vitols (2) – Todd, Catherine – both active There are 43 families in the United States that have had at least two daily runners. Of those 43, three have resided in Pennsylvania, three in Washington, three and a half in Texas (only one family member actually living in Texas), and five and a half in Florida, which puts Minnesota in first place for number of families. Florida has had only 11 family members streak running, whereas Minnesota has totaled 16!

John Magnuson (no. 6), Chris Kartschoke (no. 42), Brian Daniels (no. 80) and Corinne Wright-MacLeod (no. 76) have all passed the one year mark of their second streak of daily runs, while Gordy Strickland (no. 27) and David

*Have not registered their running streak with the US Running Streak Association yet.

Shannon (no. 64), Briar Andresen and Steve Beck had to end their streaks (it was Gordy’s sixth). It should be noted that John’s first streak of 14 years ended in 1991, so he prepared a while before trying it a second time! On January 1, Minnesota reached 62 on the active list (over 60 for the first time), passing California (with 60) for the lead in that category.

Minnesota women continue to set the pace for the entire nation (and probably the world) with 32 of them having done the daily run for one year or longer. California is a distant second with 26 and Texas is third with 20.

100,000 Mile Runners We have added two more persons to the list of Minnesotans who have covered over 100,000 miles on the run in their lifetime giving us at least 24 individuals that we are aware of

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2017

(California is second at 18). The two additions are Tom Perri, who passed 100,000 in January 2016, and Rick Recker, former MDRA president, who crossed the barrier last year. As of October 31, 2016, Rick is at 103,005 miles and Tom at 102,015. Tom recently completed the cycle of running a marathon in every state for the second time. Plus, he only needs six more states to complete a third cycle!

A Different Kind of Streak

Laura Butterbaugh contacted the MDRA office in February to report the following: “After reading the article about streaks in the latest issue, I thought you might like to hear about my son and daughter’s (now 11 and 9) streak. They set a goal on March 27, 2015, to run or walk at least a mile outside every day for a year. It has come to occasionally include other activities such as cycling excursions,

HISTORY cross country skiing or hiking but it’s predominantly been running (30 percent) and walking (60 percent), and must be outside. We are on track to complete this goal and they both said they’re planning to continue even when the year is up”.

I followed up with her at the end of August: “We are still going strong with our mile a day (today, August 30, is 513 days). Also, at MDRA’s 5K on Labor Day, we will complete our goal of doing a 5K together every month for a year. My children, Eleanor and Denly, initiated this (at the time ages 8 and 10, now 10 and 11) and they set the ground rules (at least a mile of walking/running, or if biking, at least 5 miles) and it has to be outside (inside like a treadmill does not count) and it has to be every day. We have persevered through injuries (I was on crutches for a few weeks last year), illnesses (including a bout with influenza B), travel (some great memorable stories related to squeezing it into travel days), Minnesota cold and other bad weather (including several subzero walks this winter), the constant distractions of daily life, etc. The discipline of it being a daily practice has been a far-reaching lesson as it has become part of the fabric of our lives”.

“We love to travel and have “streaked” in many states besides Minnesota since we started including Iowa, Missouri, Wiscon-

sin, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, Florida and South Carolina. It has given us the excuse to stop and explore new trails and parks here in Minnesota

and when we travel. We especially enjoy it when friends join us and many friends have told us our streak has inspired them to be more active, too. We also love the incentive to bring outside time into our lives every day. Amazingly even on the “worst” weather days (rain, cold, etc.) once we get out there,

it’s really not that bad. Having the right gear helps. My husband got us all ski goggles for Valentine’s Day so we wouldn’t be so cold on those subzero days.”

He also

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2017

attempted to make his basketball team in those grades and did not make it. He wanted to have a sport so he chose track and field in seventh grade. In eighth grade, he did a mile run for the first time and came home in 5:20! After that he was asked to join the cross country team.

Jeff’s coach in high school was Greg Price who not only knew how to train runners to peak performances but cared about his athletes as people. Greg inspired Jeff to become a high school coach because he had such a good experience. The training they did was around 30-35 miles per week.

Jeff finished second in the state cross country meet as a junior and his team finished as the state champion. The next fall he failed to qualify for the state meet in cross country because of an illness, but bounced back in track to qualify for the 4 x 800, 1600 and 3200 at the state meet.

In North Carolina, you could run long distance events in track. His teammates usually ran the 800, 4 x 800, 1600 and 3200 in the same meet.

In college Jeff ran for Ken Frenette, a great runner who had times like 14:15 in the 5000, 29:20 in the 10,000 and a 2:20 marathon.

Ken believed in high mileage so

HIGH SCHOOL Jeff was running between 70-80 miles per week as a freshman.

By the time he was a senior, they were running 80-100 miles a week.

Often they would do 10 miles in under an hour so it was high intensity running as well. He did well in cross country running around 27 minutes for the 8K as a freshman. He did not even run his high school times in the spring until his junior year because of some injuries. Finally, as a senior, he ran 32:40 at the NCAA Division One East Regionals at Furman in 1998. He did run his best times in track that year, too, because his coach switched to the Jack Daniels program.

The combination of his high school and college coaches gave him an excellent background for coaching and he had success in coaching right away. The boys have been at state 14 straight years and won titles in 2006, 2007, 2010, 2012 and 2014.

The girls missed one year, but have been at state for 13 straight years and won state last year in 2015.

Stars of the Yellowjackets

Boys team Hunter Kjelshus, 12th grade: A quiet leader, who studies the sport and is like a coach in many ways. He puts the time in and is a consistent runner. All-Conference.

Jacob Dickerson, 12th grade: He and Hunter have been trading the number one and two spots all season. In the past, he has had some injury problems but had a track season break through where he and the coach decided that he would under train a little bit. The result was breaking his old PR of 4:49 in the mile as a freshman and finally lowing it to around 4:33 this past spring. He is likely to have a strong upside. All-Conference.

Clayton Anderson, 10th grade: Is already among the top 20-30 runners in class A. He may turn out to be one of the very best in the entire state next year with his fearless attitude. All-Conference.

Carson Speicher, 11th grade: Carson has traded the number

Members of the boys cross country team at Perham High school get off to a fast start this fall. three and four spots with Clayton Anderson all season. He has track and field marks of 4:27 and 50.7.

His brother runs for Moorhead State University. He also could be great next year. All-Conference.

Nick Listrom, 12th grade: All-Conference.

Adam Siira, 12th grade: All-Conference.

Brandon Ohara, 9th grade: All-Conference.

Girls team Brynnan Covington, 12th grade: Has been on varsity for the girls throughout grades seven through 12. Finished 14th in state last year to gain all-state honors. For Brynnan it is more about team than anything. All-Conference.

Caitlin Covington, 10th grade: Is a spitfire and emotional leader of the Yellowjackets. She is spontaneous and smart. All-Conference.

Hailey Wegscheid, 10th grade: The team comedian. Is sneaky but it’s all done in fun. All-Conference.

Abby Tweeton, 9th grade: Is improving rapidly as evidenced by her 20th place finish at the huge Milaca Invitational this year.

All-Conference.

Ashley Hokanson, 10th grade: Ashley is a 2:28 800 meter runner

who came out for cross country just one year ago. She went to Europe recently. A coach worries when this happens during the season. However, she did the workouts on her own, came back and set a personal record at the next meet. She is also a gymnast.

All-Conference.

Evalyn McCleary, 10th grade Mary Wunderlich, 8th grade State predictions by Coach Jeff Morris for the Class A races: Girls: “We expect the battle to be between Fairmont, Lanesboro and us. However, in the girl’s race it’s more likely that a middle school runner could burst forth in the 5K run at the end of the season. There is always a chance that a team could surprise in this meet,” said Coach Jeff Morris. What happened is Fairmont wound up winning by two points 84-86 over Perham. Annandale was third place as a team with 127 points.

The girls and their overall placement were as follows: 3. Brynnan Covington, 12, 19:08.8 24. Caitlin Covington, 10, 19:46.1

29. Hailey Wegscheid, 10, 19:53.6 44. Abby Tweeton, 9, 20:13.9 86. Ashley Hokanson, 10, 20:40.5 110. Evalyn McCleary, 10, 21:04.3 136. Mary Wunderlich, 8, 21:26.9 Boys: “It should be between Mora, LaCrescent and us. It will depend on who is ready to run on that day,” Morris told us about three weeks before the state meet.

What happened was Mora won by six points, 93-99 over Perham.

LaCrescent wound up third with 123 points.

The boys and their overall placement were as follows: 19. Jacob Dickerson, 12, 16:35.8 21. Hunter Kjelshus, 12, 16:41.8 30. Clayton Anderson, 10, 16:51.2 44. Carson Speicher, 11, 17:03.2 83. Nick Listrom, 12, 17:29.2 124. Adam Siira, 12, 17:57.7 126. Brandon Ohara, 9, 17:59.4

CITIZEN RUNNER

PRODUCT REVIEW

BY NATHAN CAMPEAU

Y

our Citizen Runner

Product Reviewer is back! This time I’m reviewing an interesting collection of running related items, all of which are new to me, so there’s a chance that they’re new to you as well!

With the holiday season firmly in the rearview mirror, you may have a running gift card or two to spend and I’m here to let you know how to spend it (or how not to spend it)!

Rollga Genesis Foam Roller

You’re probably thinking, “Nathan, you just said that these are all products you’ve never used.

How have you never used a foam roller?” Good question. I’ve always thought that the running world was divided into two halves: those who roll, and those who don’t. As I’m getting on in years (and cumulative miles), I realize I had it wrong. The running world is divided into those who roll and those who will eventually be dragged kicking and screaming into rolling.

When I received the Rollga Genesis for testing, I initially thought I would try it out and give some weak review that didn’t really say much at all, because why should I care about rolling? Then a funny thing happened: my age caught up to me and I developed Achilles tendinitis, partially due to tight calves. Suddenly, I was dragged kicking and screaming into the foam roller craze. And the weird thing is, I don’t hate it. Sure, I hate rolling over that tight calf muscle while I’m in the middle of a roll, but I sure do love the loosened feeling afterwards. Rolling is now

The Rollga genesis foam roller is pictured here in a promotion photograph provided by rollga. the company is located in minnesota. Photo provided by Rollga a five to 10 minute part of my day.

That’s more time than I spend taking care of my hair, and I really love my hair, so for me that’s saying something.

So, rolling is great (or at least necessary), so why Rollga? Well, first I should provide some background on the Rollga. The Rollga is a curvy (rather voluptuous) foam roller that has grooves that can cradle your leg or arm during a roll or can relieve pressure from your spinal column if you’re rolling your back. Compared to a normal foam roller, I like the Rollga because it can keep my roll in a better alignment than a standard roller. As a newbie to foam rolling, I find that useful. I also really enjoy how the grooves in the Rollga can work

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2017

both sides of my calf at the same time.

I polled a few running friends who use the Rollga, and the responses were entirely positive, from a subdued, “when I’m forced to roll, I use the Rollga” to “I use it three times a day and it helps alleviate chronic neck and back issues.” Another friend said that while he has four foam rollers for his family, he makes sure to keep the Rollga on a “short leash”!

I’ve also been using a straight foam roller at physical therapy. On some muscles, the flat portion effectively digs into the tight areas.

I wish that the Rollga had a flat section for that purpose, although I’ve found it easy to modify my rolling with the Rollga to simulate

the feeling that a flat roller can provide.

Bottom line, the Rollga is a great weapon to add to your foam rolling arsenal, but will not likely replace your straight foam roller (but it may become your favorite arrow in the quiver).

Run Gum

Given that I love gum and I love caffeine, I figured I’d be all in on the Run Gum. And given the great reviews this supposed performance enhancing gum (50 mg of caffeine per piece) has received, I was sure I’d love it. Well, I didn’t like it. Not even a little bit (I found a silver lining, more on that later).

Since Run Gum seems to be well loved, well reviewed and well

REVIEW endorsed by Olympic athletes, I don’t feel too bad that I’m giving this gross substance a rather negative review; Run Gum is doing just fine without me. On the down side, Nick Symmonds will never give me another free product to review, and on the up side, my conscience is clear.

On my first try at Run Gum, my wife and I each popped in a piece of the mint flavored gum and took off for a run around the lakes. Rum Gum comes in three flavors: mint, cinnamon, and fruit; I reviewed the mint and cinnamon. Within a minute or two our faces were contorted in distaste. It tasted like I was chewing on a mint flavored stick of Robitussin. After a few minutes, the mint flavor wore off and the medicinal, caffeine flavor came charging through. After two miles, we spit our gum out. My tongue was numb and tingling the rest of the run as if I had put a light film of Novocain on it.

I later learned that Run Gum is not intended for extended use while running. Instead, it’s meant to be chewed briefly before the run or at intervals during the run to get a quick caffeine boost, much the same way that people may drink a small cup of coffee before a run or take caffeine laced gels during a long run. That made sense to me because chewing a piece of Run Gum for longer than a few minutes seems like a potential technique for enhanced interrogation (someone call the Pentagon).

With that in mind, I tried brief spells of chewing Run Gum as intended. I tried the mint flavor again, with much the same effect.

I then tried the cinnamon flavor, which was much better because the cinnamon flavor effectively blocked the medicinal taste.

Bottom line, if you love to run with gum, Run Gum is not for you, since you’ll be spitting it out after a mile. I think Run Gum is for people who want their caffeine fix quickly and don’t want to receive their caffeine in another form, such as coffee.

Wharton Health Experience Strength Training Video

We all know runners are generally busy people, and I am no exception. We’re pretty much Type A with about 100 other activities and priorities all competing with our running goals. Is it any wonder we (I) often neglect basic strength training and flexibility? I measure my workout time by the miles I should be running, so any workout that distracts from pounding the trails or pavement is a workout I don’t have time for. But, as we all know, strength training and flexibility are essential to getting the most out of our workouts, preventing injury and getting ready for beach season. And since we’re all busy, making those critical exercises an easy part of our routines increases the odds that we will actually do them. While I may not have (or make) time for the gym or a personal trainer, I do probably have a few minutes a day to squeeze in some workouts at home.

Enter the Wharton Health Experience videos by Jim and Phil Wharton. They are the famed (well, I hadn’t heard of them, but they seem to be a big deal based on some mild Googling) father-son duo that has trained countless professional runners over the last couple decades. They also happen to have two videos on strength and flexibility for runners.

Since the flexibility DVD I received didn’t work, I’m only reviewing the strength training video.

The videos are sold on their website (www.whartonhealth. com) for $50 for the pair (and if you spend $50, they throw in a free flexibility rope, which I’ve enjoyed using). There are also digital download purchases available on their website which seem like a convenient way to access the instructional videos. The strength training video features Phil Wharton (a Jim Carrey doppelganger, which is a mild distraction) performing and explaining several exercises to strengthen four key

areas: legs, abs, shoulders and feet.

In the strength training video, Phil explains the importance of each muscle group to proper running form and then demonstrates how to perform several useful at home exercises to work those muscles. I particularly liked that Phil also showed common mistakes that people make in doing these exercises (in most cases, my default was to do the exercise incorrectly so I found that part helpful).

I really liked the video and the exercises (and plan to try in the new year to do them consistently).

I only had two complaints, one minor, and one a little more significant.

The first is that while many of the exercises did not require equipment beyond normal household items, there were several exercises that needed weights that could be strapped to the leg. This wasn’t that big of a deal because

I’m not sure I’m ready for that extra weight yet, and once I am, I should probably be purchasing this specialized weight device anyway if I’m going to do weights at home.

The second complaint is that generally the video does not state how many reps should be done of each exercise, and for none of the exercises does it state how many times one should do these exercises each week. Perhaps there’s more information on their website, but this seems to be a major flaw in the video. I think it would also be helpful to have a little cheat sheet showing each exercise so that I don’t have to rewatch the video every time I want to do the exercises.

Bottom line, if you’re looking for a collection of targeted exercises designed and curated specifically for runners, this video may be for you, provided you can figure out how often to do the exercises.

FOUR REASONS Why Minnesota runners should try cross country skiing this winter

BY JAKE SCHECKMAN

I

came to running as a way to build fitness for the winter and to make me a better cross country skier. To be honest, I never really enjoyed running preferring hiking in Vermont’s Green Mountains, biking on quiet rolling country roads and roller skiing (a weird simulation of skiing on wheels). I never really raced on foot; I think I maybe ran two 5K’s before I graduated college. The funny thing is, by midway through high school I identified that when I ran more, I skied faster, and the more I ran, the more I liked it. After college, I moved to the Twin Cities, got a dog, found trail running, ran a few races and running slowly won over my heart. But every winter when the snow flies, I find skiing again, deep within my soul.

These sports exist in harmony: not only does running make me a better skier, but skiing makes me a better runner. In my estimation, not enough Twin Cities runners have tried skiing. Here are a few reasons why you should get out on skis this winter.

It’s the hardest sport in the world Minnesota runners are tough, I get that. You’ve run through some bitterly cold winters and you deserve to be commended. But skiing is an opportunity to step up your game. I bet most of you have seen the finish line photos from the Winter Olympics when the finishers have all collapsed into the snow. Although it may seem so from the outside, they are not weak minded, overly dra-

TRAINING matic weenies. In fact, Outside Magazine recently ranked Nordic Skiing the world’s toughest sport.

Being a highly technical, full body activity, it will humble you, muscularly and cadiovascularly, despite a productive running season full of PR’s and breakthrough track workouts. Don’t be deterred. Take a lesson and use the techniques that my parents improvised to motivate me when I was 10: hum the theme from Star Wars on the way up the hill then eat a pack of peanut M&M’s at the top. The reward for your persistence will be big physiological gains in a short period of time and a little bit of newfound toughness - just the offseason boost you’ve been looking for.

“I’m sore in muscles I never even knew existed” It’s a common refrain among new skiers waking up the next morning after a fun day on the snow, full of aches and pains they’ve never experienced before.

Despite the discomfort, this is a good thing! Running uses the same set of muscles over and over again; you can easily take 10,000 steps in an hour long run. If the muscles that you’re using aren’t properly supported you’ll put extra strain on your joints leading to overuse injuries. Those muscles that you never knew existed, in your core and glutes especially, are all about balance and stability.

They aren’t strengthened when you run, but are critically important to health and longevity in run-

ning. Mixing in some skiing in the winter will help to strengthen your stabilizing muscles and prevent injuries while at the same time giving your joints a rest from the pounding of running.

We live in an urban skiing mecca I grew up in rural Vermont, a state known for developing top level cross country skiing talent, and I grew up driving an hour each way to get to a nice place to ski. Sure, I could have tromped around on skis in the back yard, but modern cross country skiing is far more than that. We zip up and down hills on intelligently designed, well manicured trails which have been meticulously groomed with equipment worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Looking back, it was totally worth the hour long drive, but the Twin Cities is like a different world. I am continually blown away by how many amazing trail networks are available to me within a 15 mile radius of my house. We have multiple locations with lighted loops and artificial snowmaking and I can even walk two blocks to our local city golf course which is groomed for skiing in the winter.

There’s probably a dozen races a winter in the Twin Cities metro as well.

the quiet enjoyment of the natural world that you find in other “silent sports”, like hiking and running, with the excitement of faster paced adrenaline laced activities, like downhill skiing and mountain biking, and the ability to simply cover ground like you can on a road bike. And we get to do it at just the right time of year when we need something good to prevent us from going crazy. Let’s face it, the winter in Minnesota is long and cold. Running in the snow is fine. Running in -20F isn’t as bad as you’d think. I haven’t tried fat biking, and it does look cool, but there’s no way that it’s the perfect way to spend a winter day. That’s because skiing is. There’s nothing else like the feeling of gliding across the snow on a cold, sunny January morning. Except “maybe” a cup of hot cocoa afterward.

FUEL

Eggs and heart health Will the consumption of one egg a day increase your risk of heart disease? An update on the latest science

BY RENEE KORCZAK, PhD, RD, LD

E

ggs are packed with

nutrients, including the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, choline, essential fatty acids and contain about six grams of high quality protein for one large egg (1). Collectively, these nutrients play important roles in vision, bone health, muscle health and serve as powerful antioxidants against harmful free radicals. From a nutritional perspective, perhaps the best part is that one egg delivers all of these beneficial nutrients for just 70 calories (1). Eggs are also cost effective and versatile, offering all the necessary nutrients needed to help meet a variety of dietary needs, especially for athletes.

Athletes who are interested in building muscle should also know that eggs contain an amino acid called leucine, which plays a unique role in stimulating muscle protein synthesis (2).

If eggs offer so many great nutrients, then why does the general public think they are bad for you?

The answer to this question is quite complex. While eggs offer a variety of nutrients, they are also high in cholesterol. For example, one large egg contains about 185 mg of cholesterol, all of which is found in the yolk. Due to their high cholesterol content, eggs have come under scrutiny over many years and nutrition recommendations regarding the consumption of eggs have also fluctuated.

However, a recent meta-analysis of egg consumption and risk of coronary heart disease and stroke indicate that intake of up to one egg daily may be associated with

20

reduced risk of stroke, and that overall, no clear association exists between egg intake and increased or decreased risk of CHD (3). Additionally, the 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans describe that eggs are nutrient dense and can be part of a healthy eating pattern (4).

What does this mean for athletes and the general public? Eggs are a great source of nutrition and can help athletes with fueling prior to or after an athletic event; however, individuals should be aware of their own personal health history and consider how eggs can fit into the diet. For example, if you are healthy with no history of high cholesterol or family history of high cholesterol, then the consumption of one egg a day is okay. However, if you suffer from

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2017

high cholesterol or have a family history of high cholesterol then speak to your doctor and see a registered dietitian (RD) to determine how eggs can fit into your diet.

COMMITTEE REPORTS

Advocacy: The advocacy committee is aware and monitoring discus-

sions on trail use around Lake Harriet. There is a desire from the Minneapolis Park Board to close the lower running paths around Lake Harriet and use the upper paths. This discussion is a part of the long range plan of the Minneapolis Park board for that area which includes running, biking, and all around use. There is nothing imminent, just discussions at this point and MDRA will monitor because it does affect the City of Lakes race.

Club Administration: Elections have been initiated and Sarah was given the action to identify a person who will verify the election results.

Programs: Trail running program for 2017– Sarah McInerney took the action to invite the sponsor of this activity to the December board meeting. Volunteers needed for the indoor stadium running. Rick is working on getting volunteers to support the actual running itself; Sarah is working to get volunteers for an MDRA table during the runs.

Promotions: Discussed the possibility of ‘event’ membership for retail and advertisers. This will enforce both retail and advertisers as part of the MDRA community. Additional discussions will be held on this topic over the next few months. Sarah McInerney and Mike discussed retention alternatives for new members and suggested that email contact be made with new members from a board member within one or two months of their initial date.
