MDRA 15K

The Washington technology magnet’s track and field and cross country teams will receive a $500 MDRA grant this year. Submitted photo

The 36th Annual MDRA 15K (9.3 miles) will be run on Sunday, August 6, 2017, 8:00 a.m. and is one of Minnesota’s few distance certified 15K courses. Run a new distance and set a PR! The MDRA 15K also serves as the USATF Minnesota 15K Championship. This race is at Crosby Farm Park, St. Paul, Minnesota, along one of the more scenic courses in the Twin Cities metro area. $30 Preregistered USATF and MDRA Members receive a $5.00 discount. For more race information and to register online visit mdra15k.com

MDRA is pleased to announce the first recipient of the Community Giving Grant. The Washington Technology Magnet - Track & Field and Cross Country team will receive $500 to be used for team gear, providing a quality experience and building a community of runners. Their vision is in line with one of our stated goals: to promote participation in running. We are very happy to be part of supporting their effort. The grant will help them to bridge the time gap between cross country and track and field seasons. Over the winter months their athletes are unable to run when the winter weather arrives because they lack the basic exercise gear most students in the state have access to. They plan to use the grant to purchase a combination of team issued jackets, hats, gloves and pants so that their athletes can train together on their own over the winter months. Washington Technology Magnet (WTM) is a public school in the St. Paul Public School District. It is located in the North End neighborhood of St. Paul and the vast majority of students come from Frogtown, the North End and the East Side, three of the poorest neighborhoods in St. Paul with some of least accessible roads for running and lack of safe trails. Over 90 percent of students are on free and reduced lunch and almost every athlete on their cross country and track and field team is a first generation runner.

Upcoming MDRA Programs

FROM THE PRESIDENT DAVE MAREK

ello runners,

Welcome to another issue and I hope you are all doing well and enjoying summer running. I returned from a great weekend in Duluth watching the William Irvin 5K, Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon and Grandma’s Marathon. It was definitely summer in Duluth as the weather was terrific for spectating but maybe just a bit warm for racing. Always a fun time and a weekend I look forward to every year. I was also able to work in the MDRA booth at the expo and it was a pleasure to meet a lot of runners including current members and new members who signed up. To those of you reading this magazine for the first time – Welcome! And for those members who renewed your memberships thank you for your continuing support. We had another large contingent of runners representing MDRA. This year the marathoners were able to enjoy a new perk that Grandma’s introduced called the Running Club Experience. Private port-o-potties, food and coffee were provided at the start for all members of clubs who had ten or more runners. Just another reason to be a member and join our spring marathon class. Hopefully, Grandma’s continues to offer this as we have heard great feedback. Speaking of training classes, it is not too late to join our fall marathon and half marathon training class. All ages and all paces are welcome to join in on one of the longest running and successful training programs out there. Be sure to check out our website for more information. It’s also a perfect time to get signed up for our upcoming races – the MDRA 15K, Victory 5K/10K and kids race and the Jeff Winter City of Lakes Half Marathon. If you aren’t looking to train for a race and just want some great people to run with check out our Polar Bear group runs every Saturday morning. I look forward to seeing you there and, in that light, I want to take a moment to comment on something that has hit close to home for me personally this summer and that is runner safety. There have been a couple tragic incidents this year in the metro area and I just want to remind you to stay diligent and alert when you are crossing streets and running the roads. We want you safe and enjoying this sport for a long time. In closing, as I mentioned in my letter in the last magazine, the MDRA has presented our first Community Giving grant. It was a great honor to be part of this and I want to thank our board of directors for all their help in making it happen. We had several worthy applications and we were pleased to announce that the Washington Technology Magnet - Track and Field and Cross Country team was chosen to receive $500 to be used for team gear, providing a quality experience and building a community of runners. Their vision is in line with one of our stated goals: to promote participation in running. We are very happy to be part of supporting their effort. I would be remiss if I didn’t thank all our members and supporters of our races as well.

It is because of you and the health of the MDRA that we have the ability to give back to the sport we love. This is also something we will continue to do in the future as supporting the running community in this manner supports our vision and purpose as an organization. With that I wish you happy and healthy running. Enjoy the summer!

SPOTLIGHT

Tom Huberty When did you start running and why?

I started running while I was in the Navy and I was finding I was getting fat. When I returned home to Minnesota, my younger brother was running in 10Ks and already had competed in the 1976 City of Lakes Marathon. He died in an accident in 1978 and that was motivation to get more serious about running. My family established the Terry Huberty Memorial Races in Hastings and, as the oldest child, I was expected to be the organizer. Pat Lanin, one of the really great runners of the 60s and 70s, connected us with the MDRA. I went to a Race Directors’ workshop and learned not only about race directing, but better running and training. I went to the 1979 MDRA Annual Meeting and met a Washington DC transplant who wanted to create a run club similar to the Beltway Striders. The Minnehaha Marathoners formed in early 1979 and I was one of the charter members. I attribute most of my early success in 1979 to 1989 to running with the MMs.

Why do you run or what keeps you motivated?

I have geared my business improvement consulting practice to running and performance improvement. I wrote a runners’ logbook, 52 Weeks of Better Running and Better Living, (call or write me for a copy), and while half the weeks’ motivation entries are related to physical fitness, the other weeks are noting spiritual, emotional and intellectual development. I am currently writing a book on the logbook concept for organizational leaders so that they might improve their businesses, every week.

What do you consider to be your favorite distance/race?

The marathon. I have competed in over 110 marathons with only two DNFs and I have completed marathons in 32 states and DC; I am also a Twin Cities Marathon Charter Club member.

Tom Huberty has run more than 110 marathons in 32 states. Contributed photo

What is your best memory from a race?

What are your favorite pre- and post-race meals?

Coming off the 59th Street Bridge during the 1990 New York City Marathon. The roar of the crowd seemed to lift me off my feet as I made the turn up 1st Avenue.

I regularly stop at McDonalds for pancakes on the way to a marathon or half marathon for that last shot of carbs before a race.

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

I will add one to two additional states where I have marathons; likely the Mississippi Gulf Coast Marathon and Route 66 Marathon in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I am likely to run in the Anchorage Marathon in June 2018.

I have streaks of running at least one mile daily for as long as four years. I will walk two miles on the airport concourses between planes to ensure I cover my daily distance. Most days are two to four miles with longer runs on weekends.

What is your shoe of choice?

Nike, lately Vomeros, but I have also worn out a lot of Pegasus.

What is your favorite quote?

“Beat Yesterday” a Garmin ad copy which fits the motto of my consulting practice: “Better today than yesterday, better tomorrow than today.”

What’s your bucket list/running goal for 2017-18?

Why are you a member of the MDRA?

I think I have been a member of MDRA since 1978 or 1979.

Have you participated in any MDRA training programs or races? If so, describe your experience?

I ran all the City of Lakes 25K races from 1982 to 2014 and Jeff Winter half marathons. I have run in MDRA races since 1978 including the 1979 to 1981 City of Lakes Marathons.

What are your interests outside of running?

I like good music of all kinds, writing and reading.

NUTRITION

FOOD MATTERS

It’s time to focus on our day-to-day eating habits

Runners are pictured at the start of the get in gear race this spring. Photo by Wayne Kryduba

BY CHAD AUSTIN

h no, not another nutrition article. Before you turn the page, let me mention that this article isn’t about pre-race meals, in-race nutrition, or post-race recovery. You can find plenty of those types of articles in other editions of RunMinnesota or with a simple search online. Instead, I want to focus on an aspect of nutrition that I believe will have a more positive impact on your race results than just the immediate hours

JULY/AUGUST 2017

surrounding your event – and a more positive impact on your health. I’m talking about our day-to-day nutrition. What we choose to put in our bodies, day after day, has tremendous long-term impacts on our fitness and our health. Yet, from what I’ve seen, few people stop and ask themselves some important questions. Why do I eat the way I do? How did I develop these eating habits? Are they really right for my health and fitness? Even though runners tend to be fitter than the average American, I know nutrition is on

our minds. I hear my running partners talk about their muffin tops (and I’m not referring to food) and complain about not being able to lose 10 pounds. Then in the next breath they’ll talk about eating ice cream every night and going to McDonald’s after our long run. This leads me to believe that people underestimate the impact the food they eat has on their body. If you don’t think there’s a strong correlation let me share two documentaries that highlight the correlation in opposite directions. First, most people are familiar with Supersize Me,

NUTRITION where Morgan Sperlock decides to eat three meals a day at McDonald’s for 30 days. I won’t spoil it for you, but needless to say, the impact on Morgan’s health was not good. Second, in Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead, Joe Cross starts out overweight and on multiple medications. He’s able to shed the weight and the meds by going on a diet of fruit and vegetable juices. Of course, these are both extreme examples, but they do show that what we eat has implications on our health. Although it may take longer to shows its effects on our bodies, the Standard American Diet (whose acronym, not surprisingly, is SAD) is no different. I’m not talking about the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s MyPlate or Food Pyramid recommendations. I’m referring to what we’re actually eating; foods high in calories and low in nutrients, saturated fat, sodium and sugars. In short, we’re eating too many processed foods, which are crowding out fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fiber. The result: four of the top seven leading causes of deaths in the U.S. are linked to diet; Heart Disease, Cancer, Stroke and Diabetes. And it’s predicted that today’s kids in the U.S. are the first generation ever to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents. Think about that. In the history of the world, no generation has ever lived less than their parents, yet that’s the path we’re currently on. Let me be clear, it’s not my intent to try to convert you to a certain camp, whether it’s High Fat/Low Carb, Low Fat/High Carb, Mediterranean, Vegan, Paleo, etc. These labels tend to push people apart and cause more confusion, which is something we already have enough of when it comes to nutrition. And quite frankly, confusion is exactly what the food industry wants because the more confused we are as consumers, the more likely we are to just throw our hands up in the air in frustration and continue doing what we’re doing. And clearly what we know and what we’re doing aren’t working, given that in 2012 nearly 1.4 million deaths were attributed to the four diet related diseases mentioned earlier. Over 2400 years ago Hippocrates said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” This comes from the father of medicine, who we’ve named the Hippocratic Oath after. More recently, author Michael Pollan added his advice; “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” And by “food” they both mean real food, not sugar-coated breakfast cereals, fast food, TV dinners or anything else created in a lab. Interestingly, there’s no doubt that the various diets mentioned above have a wide range of beliefs when it comes to food choices. However, there’s one thing they all agree on; processed foods are not doing us any favors when it comes to a healthy diet. That sounds great, but how do we start to reduce processed foods? The first step is to simply become more conscious of our food decisions and be on the lookout for processed foods. Given that they currently make up 54 percent of the SAD, it shouldn’t be too hard to pinpoint them. Once we’re aware of all the processed foods we’re eating, it becomes easier to take responsibility and make better choices. As a result, we become more empowered and recognize that we have control over our food choices. I know, on paper, reducing processed foods sounds simple, but it’s not easy. Scientists have designed these foods to be addictive and cause cravings. In addition, they’re extremely convenient, which appeals to our time crunched schedules. See the SIDEBAR for some tips that have helped me. At the onset of this article, I “promised” you’d see a more positive impact on your race results by focusing on your day-to-day eating habits. I firmly believe that by reducing processed foods you’ll start to shed those unwanted pounds and reduce that muffin top. I don’t know if any scientific studies have ever been done regarding weight loss and its impact on race times, but one theory I’ve heard is that you run two seconds per mile faster for every pound lost. While that might not sound like a lot, if you do the math on losing 10 pounds you’ll see that it equates to running one minute faster for 5K, shaving 4:30 off your half marathon,

Drink a salad For me, the easiest change to make was to replace my morning cereal with a smoothie. They’re a great way to consume leafy greens without even thinking about them. Plus, smoothies are an easy way to include all those superfoods we’ve heard so much about; chia seeds, flaxseed, goji berries, spirulina, turmeric, cacao and more.

Focus on the Possibilities

Think about all the things you can have, instead of what you can’t have. One trick that helps me is to tell myself that I already know what an Oreo taste like, so why should I eat another one? That helps me reach for new fruits and vegetables, and to try new recipes.

Learn More

Watch Forks Over Knives, perhaps the best known food documentary ever made. Dr. Oz said everyone needs to see it and Roger Ebert called it “a film that can save your life”. If you’re into podcasts, check out The Rich Roll Podcast. His focus is on becoming the best version of yourself and a lot of his discussions revolve around food choices, endurance training and peak performance.

Progress over Perfection

Understand that like running, food is a lifestyle, and it’s about the journey not the destination. Therefore, never let perfection get in the way of progress. If you miss a meal or a day, it’s not a total loss, just resume again tomorrow.

Simplify

The good news is that there are tons of websites, apps and cookbooks to help in your journey. The bad news is that sometimes the amount of information can also be overwhelming. My suggestion is to pick two or three resources and focus on exploring them thoroughly rather than subscribing to 15 different sources without ever using any of them. and nearly nine minutes off your marathon. You’d have to put in some serious training to see those kinds of results otherwise. If you don’t think these results are likely, I encourage you to just try focusing on whole foods for as little as two to three weeks. I think that’s all you need to start seeing results. As part of my prep for writing this article I signed up for a five-week community education course on whole foods. With an increased focus on eliminating processed foods, I was able to lose seven pounds during the class. Before I get hate mail regarding weight loss not being the key to being healthy, let me say I approached this community education class, and this article, as a way of increasing health by reducing processed foods. Weight loss was simply a byproduct of the process. Finally, I’ll close by saying that I realize that we’re all in different places along the food choice spectrum and that no one can make us change. Like anything else, change has to come from within, when the time is right. If you’re not ready for change yet, I hope this article will at least plant the seed that will someday germinate. For those of you ready to become more mindful of your eating habits, especially as they pertain to processed foods, don’t be surprised that better health will soon follow. Along the way you may even shed some pounds and run faster. JULY/AUGUST 2017

TRAILS

A worthy journey

Recalling a marathon in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan BY DELMA TORRES BARTELME

he crowded ferry left before dawn, my fellow passengers

shadowy ghosts in the cold darkness. It was almost August, yet we were trying to warm our bodies with our arms, wrapping them around our chests. Our destination was Grand Island, half a mile off the coast of Munising, Michigan, on Lake Superior. I had barely slept a wink the night before, nervous about island logistics. In a few hours, when the sun finally gave features to our human shapes we would try to run 13 to 26 miles of trails through the island wilderness. The last time I had run trails was over five years ago when my husband Jim and I were still living in Michigan. Now, retired, we live in a cottage on one of Minnesota’s ten thousand lakes and my spirit was feeling restless. Perhaps it was the act of prioritizing the humdrum tasks on my

JULY/AUGUST 2017

to do list giving me pause to wonder. Who cares which one I do first or last? No one would suffer or die if I didn’t get around to doing them at all. Certainly, I had more important things to do. None of which, by the way, were to be done here at my cottage. If escape was what I desired then it had to be done with purpose. Only then would it be worthy. “I signed us up for a trail half marathon for the last weekend in July,” I told my husband. “It’s in the Upper Peninsula. Right by the Picture Rocks National Lakeshore.” He knew seeing them had always been on my bucket list. The entry fee would be the least expensive part of this adventure in what the website called a wild protected landscape/seascape. The only available rooms left were in a budget motel going for the same price as a four star hotel in downtown Minneapolis. The Yelp reviews had commentary about torn curtains, moldy tile in the showers and threadbare towels.

TRAILS “Are you sure you want to do this?” Jim had asked me, as he read the reviews to me, knowing I only sleep on 400 thread count, 100 percent Egyptian cotton sheets.

Williams Landing, Grand Island

The fog horn signaled the full marathoners to start running. I watched the array of runners go by me and marveled at what they were about to do – 26.2 miles of technical trails. Sometimes, at home, when my running routes seem routine, I take a short drive to one of the trail heads of the Lake Wobegon Trail, a rails-to-trail conversion along an abandoned Burlington Northern corridor. Since it’s paved, it’s a road; technically not a trail. And it’s flat. For a trail to be considered technical, there have to be heights along the route, with at least one considered substantial. This island course had an elevation peak close to 1,000 feet. I hoped that was only for the marathon route. But if such a height applied to the half, I felt I’d be able to handle it. Somehow. I might end up crawling. I’d done that before. Jim and I had another hour to kill before our race start. I headed back inside the covered structure where many others also chose to wait. Some were lullabying their jittery nerves, sitting on rocking chairs. I walked around the room, studying the history of the island told inside rustic framed boards: time lines, blown-up vintage photos, maps with legends looking more like works of art. My mind captured snippets of trivia I found fascinating. There were less than a handful of cottages on the island for seasonal residents, but one can always camp; no one lives on the island in the winter; it was once owned by an industrialist of the Cleveland Cliffs Iron Company; and on July 25, 175 years ago today, someone arrived – by invitation from Ojibwa chief Omonomoneea – to establish a trading post. “It’s 15 minutes to start time,” my husband startled me. I started my half marathon journey feeling weighed down by the two full water bottles on a belt around my waist. I shuffled and yawned and berated myself on my lack of judgment, thinking about how pricey this expedition had turned out to be. I could have done this at home where I have access to rural roads with scenic waterways bordered by deciduous trees. I could have just stepped out my front door and didn’t have to travel across two states. We were almost in Wisconsin when a reminder email informed me we had to have a 20 oz-minimum water bottle which can be refilled at aid stations. Furthermore, there were consequences. If you do not have a water bottle you will not be allowed to start the race. There will be no paper cups. Not even at the finish line. Pack in/pack out policy. No littering. You will be disqualified. “That’s bullshit!” Jim had complained about having to exit the freeway and head to a sporting goods store to buy a water belt. “Who’s going to check. We can just carry any water bottle. We’ll get some at the gas station.” When I explained it had to have a wide mouth, he countered with, “Who said.” And when the cashier quoted the sum price nearing 100 dollars, I could feel his burning eyes on my body. He had been right. I took note at how some runners were indeed carrying 16.8 oz water bottles they might have purchased from any vending machine for a couple of dollars. Violating the minimum 20 oz criteria! I bumped into the people in front of me and decided I would be safer if I focused on the ground and quit looking around, fussing about broken rules. As the miles went by the bunched pack of runners turned into a line of runners. My body was warming up and my pace was picking up. My mind left my body. I felt no pain, no aches, no discontent. I was one with nature. Mother earth was pushing the soles of my feet off into the air. I was light again. I entered the island’s heavily wooded interior and con-

gratulated myself for having doused my body with bug repellent. Instinct took over. I shifted to the left, to avoid a large boulder. I vaulted over a tree trunk. I pumped my arms as I ascended to the top of a hill. I let gravity pull me downhill, unafraid of falling, instructing my feet to land lightly. I took in swigs of water while I kept running. I had managed to reach my arm around to my rear, remove one of the bottles from its nest attached to the belt, fumble around the opening area and pull out the stopper, without stopping to walk. And put it back. Good for me. I alternated between the right and left bottle, for balance. At the four mile aid station, I didn’t stop to add water to my bottles deciding I still had plenty to last me another six miles until the next one. I maneuvered two sharp left hand turns while going downhill. When I reached the bottom, almost blinded by the brightness of the sun, I entered what would be a mile long stretch of beach. I danced with the waves while running on the wet sand not caring if my shoes got wet, doing speed play as I passed the single line of runners on my left struggling to keep moving on the soft sand. I guessed they didn’t want to get their feet wet. Images of the last time I had been with my grandkids popped into my head as my toe touched the Lake Superior true blue water, creating spray. My ten year old granddaughter and I were at the Saugatuck Dunes on Lake Michigan running side by side holding hands. We laughed as we ran around the waves when they washed up. Next time a wave rolls up, Theresa, jette over it. Just like in your ballet class. Stay in tune with the flow of the waves. Run, run. Jump. Run, run. Jump. A small shadow appeared to the right, and I realized I was chasing myself. Crazy fun. A longer shadow joined mine and soon I was being passed by two shirtless men with full beards. I realized these two must be running the ultra or maybe they were late for the start. I had lined up at the rear of the pack for the start so why were these fit bucks passing me now? A breeze slapped my face, as if to wake me. This is now. Live this moment for it will never happen again. Focus. I picked up my feet higher as I rounded the orange and blue flags on the sand leading me away from the bay and into another climbing segment. Back in the woods I pin balled around obstacles. Faster. Faster. Then it happened. I felt my toe catch on something. My balance lost. The palms of my hands touched the ground first and bore the brunt of my body weight. The runners behind me stopped and asked me if I was OK. I got up and reassured them I was fine. I always fall when I run in technical trails. It never fails. I poured the rest of my water on my burning hands and started running again slowly, testing. I really was OK. I started laughing and picked up the pace, sometimes even sprinting on the stretches strewed with pine needles and small pebbles. Soon I was going by the 11 mile aid station. No stopping now. Only a couple of more miles to go. I pumped my fists up in the air. I felt alive.

Epilogue

After the nurse practitioner dug out the fine pebbles from my wounds, buttered antibiotic ointment on my palms and wrapped my hand with gauze; after I stripped my top off and walked into the clear waters of Lake Superior, oblivious to my exposed love handles; after I walked back to the start area and witnessed my Jim finish strong, arms pumping; after we satiated our hunger with organic fig, oatmeal cookies and turkey burgers; we stood side by side in line with other finishers, like Noah’s animals, holding hands, wearing our wooden finisher medal necklaces, waiting to board the pontoon boat back to the mainland.

TRAINING

HIT THE HILLS

How hill training benefits distance runners

istance runners are constantly

advised to run hills in training. But looking at specific hill workouts reveals quite a variety of actual training methods. There are several different hill training techniques which vary in length and steepness of the hill, the intensity of the run up the hill, what the body action is and whether it is done as an interval workout or as a straight run on a hilly route. Some of these have more

application to training for specific events but using a mix of them will improve any runnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strength and speed. There are four specific hill training techniques that benefit distance runners. While the training effects vary, they can all be considered strength work due to the increased work done by the leg, arm and trunk muscles than what is required while running on level ground. This improves running economy (the ability to run faster without significantly increasing energy expenditure) and strengthens muscles used for acceleration, which improves speed.

The four types are running a hilly route, running a series of long hills from 400 to 600 meters on a gradual incline, running a series of short hills from 50 to 150 meters on a steeper incline and hill bounding, or as Arthur Lydiard called it springing. Running a hilly route provides a variety of challenge due to the different lengths and percent incline of each hill encountered. The run should be done using a steady pace on the flats, attacking the uphills and easier on the downhills. This is an aerobic workout even though the aerobic limit may be pushed occa-

TRAINING sionally depending on the length or the steepness of a particular hill. It also requires the runner to change pace and recover while maintaining a steady pace. These are good runs to do during the pre- and early season when the primary training focus is on endurance. A series of runs up a long, gradual hill utilizes fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers, and provides both an aerobic and anaerobic training stimulus. A hill of 400 to 600 meters is adequate for this type of workout – any longer and the recovery on the jog down would be too long. These runs should be run at, or slightly faster, than lactate threshold pace (a comfortably hard pace on level ground that can be maintained for several miles). With the incline, the runs will be hard but not maximum efforts. This will allow running form to be maintained without crossing too far into anaerobic territory. These workouts are done primarily in the early season and provide a good transition from the early endurance training to the faster anaerobic work of the racing season. A series of short hills from 50 to 150 meters on a steep incline is an anaerobic workout due to the faster pace of the runs and the shorter recovery walk/jog down. A primary benefit of this workout is speed and power development which is essential for shifting gears quickly and strongly during racing. The primary focus should be on form, staying tall with quick, powerful strides off the forefoot, driving the knees and arms strongly. This type of workout can be done in the middle of racing season when the training focus shifts to speed. A variation is to run a few of the short hill sprints at the end of regular runs two to three times a week. This gets your body used to running fast when it’s fatigued which improves race finishing speed. Keeping the hills short helps maintain running speed and form.

Hill bounding also develops speed and power but does not have the anaerobic quality of sprinting up a short, steep hill. It is similar to a plyometric exercise. Bounding is also done on a short, steep hill of 50 to 150 meters with an emphasis on tall form, exaggerated knee lift and arm action, powerful drive off the forefoot with emphasis on gaining height, as well as distance, on each bound. This requires a very slow jog or walk down the hill in order for the leg muscles to recover between repetitions. This type of workout can be done throughout the season in conjunction with other types of cardiovascular training. Lydiard’s variation calls for springing up a 200 to 300 meter hill with slow forward progress, lifting the knees with a bouncing motion. At the top of the hill, jog for three minutes, then stride down the hill quickly. If the hill is fairly steep, the run down should be done easier. At the bottom of the hill, sprints from 50 to 400 meters are done; then the circuit begins again. It is important for the sprints to not be too intense, particularly at the beginning, since it adds an anaerobic component to the workout. Lydiard suggests a total of one hour of continuous springing, jogging, striding and sprinting. This type of workout takes place in the early season as a transition from aerobic to anaerobic work. Running a hilly route, particularly on a longer run, will improve strength at all distances due to the high quality aerobic nature of the workout. Running a series of long hills on a gradual incline and Lydiard style hills will also be beneficial to running faster at all distances because of the aerobic/ anaerobic combination. Running a series of short, steep hills and hill bounding will be most beneficial for improving speed at shorter distances.

GRAND PRIX

MDRA Grand Prix report Kari Campeau holds lead for women BY JASON CHRUDIMSKY

onditions were nearly perfect on Memorial Day as several runners bested the course record at the Brian Kraft Memorial 5K on May 29. Daniel Docherty and Lisa Baumert notched their fifth and fourth Grand Prix wins, respectively, in one of Minnesota’s most competitive road races. Finishing right behind Baumert, with her fourth second place finish in six races so far, was the women’s overall leader Kari Campeau. Eric Loeffler put up a spectacular master’s time of 15:03 to finish as runner-up to Daniel Docherty for the second time in two Grand Prix appearances this year. The fifth event win for Docherty narrowed the deficit with Nathan Campeau for the overall lead to just 72 points while the top four Grand Prix finishers at Brian Kraft have Daniel Strike and Jeremy Reichenberger overall within striking distance of Jason Chrudimsky for third. Nearing the halfway point, the focus changes significantly beginning with Grandma’s Marathon on June 17. While the three shortest races, and four of the five shortest overall were in the first six events, the last seven events feature four of the five longest events including the two marathons. Nathan Campeau’s highest point total of the year so far was in the Securian Half Marathon (the only event Docherty missed) so Grandma’s could be a great opportunity for Campeau to again put some space between him and Docherty. Docherty’s lead in the 34 and under category may not even be safe if he doesn’t run Grandma’s because, despite his five event wins, three other 34 and under competitors are within 571 points.

Kari campeau, pictured during a recent race, leads the MDRA Grand Prix. She set a personal record at Grandma’s Marathon this year, cutting 11 minutes from her best. She had a time of 2:58.30. Submitted photo

Kari Campeau retained her comfortable lead over Melissa Agnew, Danielle Gordanier and Lisa Baumert in the women’s competition. However, with one more race than Agnew and a tworace advantage over the charging Baumert, a lot could change by year’s end when only the ten best races are scored for each runner. Perhaps the most interesting thing to watch at Grandma’s will be if two time Olympic Trials competitor Baumert can lead all Grand Prix participants

regardless of gender. While entrant data is not yet available for Grandma’s Marathon, Baumert has shown the ability to compete with nearly all the Grand Prix competitors over the marathon distance. Brian Kraft featured two new Grand Prix participants (Welcome, Ken Cooper and Amanda Brooks!) to bring the total number of participants to 108. Sixteen dedicated individuals have competed at all six races so far.

ADDICTION

Running to recovery

BY WENDY JONES

became a runner on March 15, 1994. It was a gray evening tinged with the possibility of spring, and I had cobbled together the few pieces of athletic wear I owned: sweatpants, sweatshirt, an old pair of sneakers and a cheap sports bra. Looking and feeling like a tired, out of shape Rocky Balboa, I stepped over some patches of crusty snow and started to trot. Other than a handful of dog walkers, I had the path around Lake Como to myself. “Just go as far as you can,” I muttered. “One foot in front of the other.” I pushed myself to circle the lake and then lumbered to a stop. Bent over in pain and gasping for breath, I paused to reflect on an accomplishment that had seemed impossible the day before. I didn’t know that one loop around Lake Como was 1.7 miles, nor did I care. What mattered was that tonight, instead of drinking myself into unconsciousness, I had come here to run. It was the first day of my recovery from alcohol addiction, and I was a runner. Running and recovery from addiction are often intertwined, and my story is not unique. Like many of my peers in long-term recovery, I started running to fill the time I had previously dedicated to drinking. I needed to replace the negative space of substance abuse with something positive, and running was easy and cheap. Its health benefits kicked in immediately: I lost weight, I could sleep at night and my diet improved. Each mile boosted my self-esteem, and every 5K or 10K gave me a sense of accomplishment. My collection of race tshirts was testament to my sobriety. As my recovery extended from months into years, running stopped being a life saver. I no longer needed it to fill a void once occupied by alcohol. Rather, running had become my old friend. I enjoyed its company and knew that it was always there for me. It never judged me when I failed to keep in touch for a while, especially during all those years in my mid-forties when my job consumed me. When I reconnected with running a few years ago, it welcomed me back with the usual complaints of middle age and then encouraged me to take on marathons. For myself, and many others in recovery, running contributes to the overall wellness that reduces the risks of our disease.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) promotes eight dimensions of wellness for people with mental health and/or substance use disorders: 1. Emotional - Coping effectively with life and creating satisfying relationships 2. Environmental - Good health by occupying pleasant, stimulating environments that support well-being 3. Financial - Satisfaction with current and future financial situations 4. Intellectual - Recognizing creative abilities and finding ways to expand knowledge and skills 5. Occupational - Personal satisfaction and enrichment from one’s work 6. Physical - Recognizing the need for physical activity, healthy foods, and sleep 7. Social - Developing a sense of connection, belonging, and a well-developed support system 8. Spiritual - Expanding a sense of purpose and meaning in life Running supports more than just physical wellness. The community of runners nurtured through groups like MDRA contributes to social wellness, and many of us find spiritual, emotional, environmental and other aspects of wellness in our running rituals. Achieving wellness requires an integrated focus on both the mind and body, and running is equally a mental and physical challenge that can reduce the risk of a myriad of diseases, including addiction. In 1956 the American Medical Association (AMA) declared alcoholism an illness, and in 1987 the AMA and other medical organizations classified addiction as a disease. Yet addiction is still misunderstood, too often perceived as a choice or a moral failing. The myth that someone with a substance use disorder can “just say no” continues to criminalize the disease and keep people from getting the treatment or support they need. Stigma is a crippling impediment to recovery. SAMHSA and other organizations have made reducing the stigma related to addiction central to their missions. Locally, the Minnesota Recovery Connection (MRC) provides peer-to-peer support, education and advocacy to support the recovery community, and they encourage people in recovery to share their stories to help eradicate addiction’s stigma.

In 2011 MRC hosted its first Walk for Recovery, attracting 500 friends, family members, supporters and peers in the recovery community. The goals of the annual event, which now attracts upwards of 5,000 people, are to reduce stigma, celebrate recovery and bring together all pathways to recovery, and it is the largest all-recovery event in Minnesota. It’s been 23 years since I started my longterm recovery with that slow, awkward jog around Lake Como. I have found the running community to be extraordinarily welcoming of all people, regardless of size, shape, speed or story, and it has supported the wellness and recovery of countless people with substance use disorders. As every runner knows, sometimes you need to walk. And so, on September 16, I plan to postpone my usual Saturday long run and join my peers and recovery allies, some of them runners, in MRC’s seventh annual Walk for Recovery. You can join me and others in reducing the stigma related to addiction by visiting walk. minnesotarecovery.org, where you can register for MRC’s Walk for Recovery, create or join a Walk Team or donate directly to the event or to a volunteer fundraising team.

Wendy Jones has been an MDRA member since 2013 and just completed her tenth marathon. When not working on various mission-driven projects in the nonprofit sector or running with the Terrapins, she volunteers for the Minnesota Recovery Connection.
