Run faster - cut the corners!

By BRUCE MORRISON, Publisher bruce.morrison@running.net Your upcoming race could result in a personal best time if you take the shortest possible route.

Course certifiers measure race course distance by measurements that are for the shortest possible route. If you race exactly how the course was measured, you'll run the exact distance, otherwise, you're running a greater distance.

It is very likely you're running farther than you could or should.

Varsity Sports in Baton Route, LA, actually measured a curvy mile on the Louisiana Marathon and Half Marathon course and reached this conclusion: “We measured the mile the way an average runner would run the course following the curve of the road. Then we measured the mile running the tangent of each curve -- the shortest possible distance. We found that if runners followed the road, and not the shortest point in the road, they ran 130 feet longer for that mile.”

USA Track & Field (USATF) outlines how you can run shorter distance with a series of charts. Of course, you must follow the exact race course or risk being disqualified.

Best bet is to study the course and determine the shortest possible distance.

Below are some USATF charts that show some examples:

Natural State of Running

Despite weather, the races go on Mother Nature has not been kind to the Arkansas running community. Races got cancelled and postponed due to her wrath.

Of those that postponed, conditions still were not ideal, but the run must go on, right? A new marathon joined the ranks of December races that will always have to gamble with Mother Nature. Since the outdoors is her house and the house usually wins, race directors should consider themselves lucky when the weather is in their favor.

Three Bridges Marathon

place third overall and was the second female finisher in 2:59:22. Kristi Sheridan rounded out the top three females with a finishing time of 3:25:22.

With four pedestrian bridges connecting the Arkansas River Trail System, it would seem as if it was inevitable for a race to one day be held to celebrate the bridges. On Dec. 28, the Three Bridges Marathon (3B26) happened for the first time.

The entire race took place on the Arkansas River Trail starting at Two Rivers Bridge in the morning under the glow of the lights on the bridge. Within the first two miles, runners crossed the Big Dam Bridge and proceeded on the trail until they reached the Clinton Presidential Bridge where they turned around and headed back.

Once they made their way back to where the race started, a loop was done by going over the Two Rivers Bridge to complete the marathon distance. Along the way the views of the river, bluffs, and wildlife added a calming aura to the race.

It was nice and peaceful until one reached the ecstatic volunteers at each aid station.

The running clubs in the area came together to make this race possible and

David Meroney, Arkansas RRCA state rep, in the Three Bridges Marathon

Originally planned for Dec. 21, the race was postponed to Jan. 4.

With the exception of this year, the number of runners has increased. The date change could have had something to do with it. The new date was also on the same day as another trail run, Athens-Big Fork Marathon, which also attracts lovers of trail running.

The race, which benefits the Dardanelle Rotary Club, still had to deal with the cold and the wind at times. It was nothing that the participants couldn't handle.

Fortunately, race director Michael Witt was able to modify the course to still include some trail. Before, the thought was to have a 5K done at the top of the mountain. Trail runners could appreciate his efforts to make the race happen and remain a trail race regardless of the conditions.

Saline County Strider Jeffery Grove was the overall winner in 27:58. Typically known for her speed on the track, Shelby Gordon was the overall female winner in 31:58.

Athens-Big Fork Marathon As the first trail run of the year in Arkansas, Athens-Big Fork (ABF) has challenged runners for 15 years. The website for the race is not what one would say is welcoming. It threatens and attempts to put fear in the hearts of the most seasoned runner.

The course is on a 100-year old horse postal trail. If you ever run it, you'll figure out very quickly how important mail delivery must have been to people back then. The unforgiving trail has eight mountain crossings and creek crossings that are cold and can sometimes reach your thighs.

Finishing ABF or the shorter Blaylock Creek 17-Mile Fun Run are accomplishments. Ask any runner and they'll agree.

Last year was the first year for t-shirts, which continued this year. Seeing someone wearing it is a badge of honor like seeing the Sylamore Trail 25K/50K hoodie. Sylamore Trail 25K/50K is also a race held in Arkansas. It happens in February and has become so popular that it sells out in minutes.

Oklahomans Joshua Synder (4:29) and Tom Brennan (4:40) toughed it out for the top two spots. David Mitchell (5:01), of Hot Springs Village, AR, was third.

Alison Jumper (5:28), of Fayetteville, AR, was fifth overall and the first female finisher. Bee Miller (5:46), of Dover, AR and Diane Diebold (6:35), of Springfield, MO, were the next two female finishers.

With close to 100 runners, it has to be one the largest fields the race has ever seen.

People are taking on the ABF challenge and sharing their war stories with friends.

It looks like misery does enjoy company.

Mt. Nebo Bench Trail Run without them and the community's support, 3B26 wouldn't have been nearly as successful as it was. Registration opened on the Friday before Memorial Day and was sold out by Monday. After careful planning, the committee decided to increase the cap to 400. Word spread and runners from 28 states signed up.

Now, the capital city had two marathons with each highlighting different parts of the city. The Little Rock Marathon appreciates many of the landmarks while the Three Bridges Marathon provides a glimpse at how Arkansas earned its title, The Natural State.

The weather was perfect for a race.

There were many personal bests, Boston qualifiers, and first timers who took advantage of the conditions. Allan Voltz, of Eads, TN, was the overall male winner finishing in 2:49:59. James Bresette (2:59:26) and Brad Atkins (3:08:03) were Jeffrey Grove was the Mt. Nebo winner the next two male finishers.

After the ice transformed the usual Leah Thorvilson, of Little Rock, AR, was second overall and the first female route into an extreme obstacle course, finisher coming in at 2:58:20. Tia Stone changes had to be made to the course and had her first finish in less than 3 hours to the date in order for the race to happen. CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

GATE RIVER RUN Daniel Kirwa won the Life Village Creek 25K Photo by Arkansas Outside

If the Muckas Running Club wanted to make a splash with their inaugural Fit 4 Life Village Creek 25K/10K, they accomplished their goal. What was originally just a trail run included elements from mud runs, cross country, and steeplechase.

The week of the race temperatures had dipped down to be the coldest in a while.

When it warmed, the rain followed. To say the trail was saturated in parts would be an understatement.

Runners came from across the region to see what trails northeastern Arkansas had to offer. Ethan T. Cook made his race announcements stating 10Kers follow the pink ribbons and 25Kers follow the green ribbons. Green was for money. That was easy to remember and since the top three finishers received cash prizes, it was an applicable way to describe the colors.

Even after the lead pack didn't make the first turn at the start, they all stormed back to the front of the race around the time most were preparing to make the first creek crossing. I've never participated in a Tough Mudder or Warrior Dash, but I would think something like the first crossing wouldn't be foreign in either of aforementioned races.

The top three spots were close. Daniel Kirwa, of Searcy, finished in 2:07:54.

Chris Block, of Little Rock, AR, followed him in 2:08:13. Ted Herget, of Jonesboro, AR, claimed the third spot in 2:08:27. As you can see, it was a race.

All three top females were Memphians.

Mary-Ellen Kelly was the first female finisher in 2:38:36. Casey Malone was second in 2:42:33 and Charlene Yeung was

Running Through the Age Groups

Inspirations for the Ages for 2014!

Having finally somewhat recovered from the stressful yet exciting rush of the holiday season, we are finally looking forward to what has now become for both my husband and me a familiar routine of healthy diet and exercise. Feelings of renewed energy toward health seem to go hand-in-hand with this time of year, when so many folks announce their grand (but, alas, often unfulfilled) aspirations in the form of “New Year's resolutions.”

We runners typically find ourselves resolving to lose that last 10 pounds, nail a weekly mileage goal, run a first (5K, 10K, half-marathon, marathon), qualify for Boston, improve that (5K, 10K, halfmarathon, marathon) time at the next race.

My own resolutions this year include, among other things, attaining my race weight, maintaining consistent mileage between 30 and 40 per week, and being more organismic (others-oriented) rather than atomistic (self-oriented) with my running.

That last one will be a toughie, considering running's natural tendency toward individualism and often outright reclusiveness, but I've found some examples of extremely

By Mary Margaret McEachern

inspiring people to help guide me toward these goals. Before getting to the proverbial meat of the coconut here, I would be remiss without mentioning my first inspiration -- my own sweet husband, who has managed to lose 25 pounds over the course of the last year. At age 62, this has been a major feat for him, and he has taught me a lesson that bears repeating throughout life: If you can make small changes and improvements in diet and lifestyle over the long term, then you are much more likely to attain an ideal lifestyle for the long term.

His approach reminds me of the fable involving the tortoise and the hare, wherein

may sound like a no-brainer, but I find myself guilty of allowing my running to serve as an excuse to sit on my butt for hours at a time. Emerging data indicates that even the fittest athletes can succumb to the vagaries of too much sitting, including among other things blood clots, high blood pressure, even cancer … so keep moving!

It also goes without saying that whole foods are always the best choice. As Olga states, “Nature had a couple million years to get [it] right”, so who are we to try to change things? Emerging research indicates that oldies but goodies, like bananas and chocolate milk, are just as appropriate and often more effective for performance and recovery than engineered foods. And for heaven's sake, try to avoid falling into the trap of too much processed food. If the ingredient list is a mile long and contains things you can't pronounce, avoid it!

Regarding the notion of a healthy routine, we runners are generally pretty good at this one, but I'm willing to bet that most of us could stand improvements. How many of us are good at eating breakfast and getting adequate sleep on a daily basis?

And how many of us truly listen to our bodies, figure out what works best for us, and stick to it? Who truly sticks to a good preworkout fuel, effective post-workout recovery, and stretching routine? Not I, but I plan to try! Developing a good routine, says Olga, helps to build your body's defenses and stress coping mechanisms.

Olga says to make goals. I am a big proponent of this one, and it is why I love to race. To me, each race represents a goal which inspires me to make that extra effort in training. If I know I have a race coming up and I want to run a certain time, I will be less likely to skip that track workout on that cold, windy morning when I would so much rather stay in bed.

Finally, Olga suggests keeping stress in check. I could write an entire article on this point. Of course, a lot of the stress we experience in our lives is externally oriented over which we have no control, but what we can control is how we react to that stress.

For me, following Olga's other points just takes care of this one. I cannot count how many times I've been dealing with a seemingly insurmountable life crisis, only to have it magically solved by a nice run.

Eating better, adopting a healthier lifestyle with adequate exercise, a good diet and rest, can make life's difficulties much more manageable and allow you to handle them with aplomb.

So, if you're reading this and you're one of the many people with high hopes for 2014, heed the advice of Olga Kotelko, and let others like Linda Barber, Diana Nyad and Fauja Singh inspire you to stay on track. In the words of Diana Nyad, “Never, ever give up.” Happy running and Happy 2014!

we learned that the race goes not always to the swift, but to those who keep on running.

I am so proud of my husband; just looking at him inspires me to be consistently mindful of my own health habits.

We both have experienced in our extended families with what seems like an epidemic of Alzheimer's disease. My mother had it, four of his aunts and uncles had it, and it now appears his mother has it. This has me spending a great deal of time thinking about aging (we're all headed in that direction) and what we can do to slow down or perhaps even reverse the aging process.

I've thought about inspirational people like 64-year-old endurance swimmer Diana Nyad and centenarian marathoner Fauja Singh and how those folks simply don't let age keep them from their goals. I dream about becoming one of those people.

Then, I saw an article in Parade magazine about the woman who inspired me to write this article. I'm talking about Olga Kotelko, a 94-year-old track star who holds over 20 world age group records! And I'm not talking about just the dashes and the distances; she is the only woman in the world over age 90 who still competes in the long jump and the high jump! That is absolutely stunning. First of all, I couldn't do the Fosbury flop if my life had depended on it in my 20's, 30's and certainly not now … but in my 90's? After reading the article, I have determined that I simply have no excuses. Olga's coach, himself in his 70's, has broken world records in virtually every track distance. Her 76-year-old running buddy has set seven world records this year alone and is well on her way to the World Female Masters Athlete of the Year award. From the looks of her, I'll bet she could give me a run for my money any day of the week.

Then, as if that wasn't enough inspiration, I read an article on Facebook about 74year-old Linda Barber, who likes to compete in Spartan races. If you are familiar with Spartan races, they take obstacle course running to a whole new leve. I imagine that even a Navy Seal would have a time with such a competition.

So, in my quest to become one of these amazing athletic inspirations, I realize that on a certain level one must first be lucky enough to avoid career-ending injury and illness. We are, after all, human. That being a given, for those of us fortunate enough to be able to run and perhaps compete into our 70's, 80's, 90's or even 100's, here is some simple but sage advice from Olga Kotelko: sit less and move more, stick to whole foods, develop a healthy routine, have goals, and avoid too much stress. Mary Margaret can be reached at As for sitting less and moving more, this mmmceachern@bellsouth.net

Masters Running Once More a Marathoner!

Ten years ago in March 2004, I ran the More Marathon in New York City's Central Park. I had chosen to participate since it was a unique race, in its inaugural year. I was also one of the winners in an essay competition, which had given me a free entry. The race was sponsored by More Magazine, a publication for women age 40 and older. Only women over 40 were allowed in the marathon, although there was also a half marathon which accepted younger entrants.

The More Marathon was my first marathon in 11 years. After completing the Charlotte Observer Marathon in early 1993 at age 41, I had decided not to run any more marathons. The training was too time consuming, and my times had started to slow down. Then along came the More Marathon, pulling me out of my retirement because of its appeal and uniqueness, and also because it was sponsored by one of my favorite magazines at the time. However, this was definitely going to be my last hurrah!

At least so I thought! Until last November, when another irresistible opportunity to tackle the 26.2 mile distance appeared. As some of you may know, I am on the RRCA Board of Directors, and we usually have our meetings in conjunction with other running related meetings or events. We decided to have our 2014 winter/spring meeting right before the RRCA National Marathon Championship, which is the Napa Valley Marathon, held in California during the first weekend in March.

This event takes place on one of the most beautiful courses in the country. It is a point to point course, which starts in Calistoga and winds through the famous California wine country along the Silverado trail, before it ends in the town of Napa. Too scenic to resist, friends told me. But in case you are wondering, there's no wine on the course!

“So, is there a half marathon too?” was my first question when I found out we were going to Napa. No, the only accompanying race is a 5K. But the 5K wouldn't take me through the beautiful Napa Valley countryside. So I debated with myself for a few days whether I should take on the 26.2 mile challenge, and decided to ask my friends for their opinion.

However, the “problem” is that many of my friends are marathoners themselves, and some also run ultra marathons.

Asking a bunch of marathoners whether I should run a marathon is like asking a

By Lena Hollmann RRCA Southern Director

bunch of children whether I should give them candy. You know beforehand that the answer is going to be 'yes'! So, I was not surprised when there was a strong consensus that I should give it a go.

In my mind I had probably already decided to once again come out of retirement and run the 26.2 miles. I just wanted approval and a pat on the back from my buddies. I wanted to hear from them that “yes you can!” and “yes you should!” So after they gave me their blessings, I started my training in earnest, excited but a little fearful at the same time. After all, I haven't run a marathon for 10 years, and I had thought my marathon days were over.

I am also older now, slower, and probably more prone to injury. So I knew I had to proceed with caution.

Since I had just run a half marathon I already had the base mileage. I decided to do my long runs every other week, and do them “Galloway style”, i.e. with a one minute walking break every five to seven minutes. (For those of you not familiar with the Galloway program: It was started

by Olympian Jeff Galloway in 1976, and encourages participants to take walking breaks during their long runs to minimize fatigue and reduce the chance of injury.) I started with a 15-mile run in mid November, and included walking breaks every five minutes. During my most recent long run I covered almost 18 miles, taking walking breaks every seven minutes.

As of this writing (early January) I am almost at the halfway mark, with the race being two months from now. After increasing my long runs to about three hours in duration but still only covering about two thirds of a full marathon, I have gotten renewed respect for the distance.

And also renewed respect for those of my fellow runners, old and young, who keep challenging themselves by running marathons several times per year. It seems like for some of them, running a marathon

is just like a walk in the park. Something they do every few weeks, maybe even two days in a row! A few of my friends did this recently, running a marathon on New Year's Eve and then another on New Year's Day. Others decide on the spur of the moment to sign up for marathons when they are traveling and there happens to be one in the town they are visiting. And then there are some who tackle distances beyond the marathon, sometimes as much a 100 miles.

I complete my biweekly 15-18 mile training runs and can't understand how they do it. I cannot blame this on getting old, since I have friends that are older than I am who regularly run marathons. But I have realized that it is certainly a different experience to train for a full marathon than for a half. Also a different experience to train for a marathon today, compared to 30 years ago, or even 10 years ago. I didn't take walking breaks then, but now they are probably my saving grace. Breaking my run into “chunks” has made it much easier to go the whole distance. Easier for the body, and especially for the mind.

During each of my long runs I felt great and “in the zone” for the most part, but during the last 15 to 20 minutes fatigue started to set in. It was a different kind of fatigue, known only to marathon runners.

It became harder to lift my legs and I had to force my body to move forward. It was willpower and mind over matter that brought me home.

7

Maybe I was hitting the wall, which makes me wonder how I'm going to get through this marathon! No matter how beautiful the course is, I am certain I will not enjoy the last six miles. At the More Marathon 10 years ago I ran a 4:13, but now my goal is simply to finish, hopefully in less than five hours. I may have to do a lot of walking in the end, since I will not be able to come close to completing the full marathon distance during my training runs. And even though I have done about 25 marathons in my lifetime, I have a feeling this will be like another first one for me.

I have also sworn that this will be another “last one.” It probably will be, but I have learned not to be sure and not to take anything for granted. Finding myself marathon training again while in my early 60s has also taught me that I will never know what life is going to hand me, and that I am never too old to try new things!

Or at least not too old to repeat the challenges I put myself through in my younger days. I just have to lower my expectations a little, remember to have fun, and enjoy the journey. Then everything will be fine.

I will keep you posted.

Women’s Running A Running Birthday Celebration While thinking about a topic to start off 2014 I received a poignant personal Christmas message from my friend, Boston Marathon Director, Dave McGillivray. Dave has been a mover and shaker in running circles for decades and has always practiced his avocation of running with his profession of directing stellar events. Dave is always on the move, rarely slows down. and travels over the world managing events through his company DMSE (Dave McGillivray Sports Enterprises) which he started in 1981.

Dave has been involved with more than 900 events and has completed 126 marathons, eight Hawaii Ironman Triathlons, logged more than 150,000 miles raising millions for worthy causes and run across the USA twice. He is an accomplished runner with a 2:29:58 marathon best and a 10:36:42 Ironman best. He directs the Boston Marathon every April then returns to the start in the late afternoon to run the course himself. He runs a mile for every year on his birthday and just completed 59 miles this past August on his big day.

Personally I have never seen Dave slow down and I would swear he never sleeps. Oh and he has a wife and five children ranging from age 23 to 4.

Dave is a human dynamo and I thought he was truly super human. I am a very high-energy person but Dave is in an entirely different stratosphere. He totally exudes boundless energy, so his recent challenges should give all of us something to think about.

As runners most of us know our bodies well. We feel all the niggles, labor through the soreness, run when we should rest and generally think we are healthier than those "couch potatoes." At times we feel invincible but we also know when something is not right. However we try to fix things ourselves and diagnose our maladies.

As a group I think we can come up with more implausible reasons for what ails us than any other group on the planet. Our responses to questions about our running health range from "no I am not limping" to "it gets better after I run a few miles" or "I am sure it is nothing!�

For more than a year Dave was having trouble with his breathing when he ran. Dave would start off on his run then have to walk to catch his breath.

By Carolyn Mather, RN, PhD.

He was embarrassed and resorted to running alone. After a few miles the problem eased at least to the point where he could finish his workout. He knew something was wrong, really wrong, and had all of the appropriate tests performed and nothing was detected. Dave knew he was fitter than most anyone his age on the planet. He also was aware of his heredity risk and about 10 years previously started taking statins. He stopped them but eventually found one that did not cause muscle cramping.

Dave tried to find a precipitating cause of his breathing difficulty (hills, cold weather, hot weather, running too soon after eating) but had no luck. He even went on a run with his cardiologist, Dr. Aaron Baggish, and of course had none of the breathing issues during the run.

After 18 months of this breathlessness Dave had enough guessing. Dr. Baggish scheduled a CAT scan. The result indicated "severe blockage and chronic ischemic heart disease." The word severe was devastating to the man who thought he was invincible.

Dr. Baggish ordered an angiogram on October 9, 2013. Dave figured a stent or two would solve the problem, until the doctor pointed out all of the blockages and narrowing in many of the arteries. Dave quit counting when he got to 10. The doctors determined it would be too dangerous to operate.

Superman had met his kryptonite.

The doctors decided that Dave would have to get himself out of this situation. Dave, like many of us, had always been of the opinion that he could eat anything in moderation. He grew up a meat and potatoes guy and had never had a weight problem. He slept very little figuring he could sleep when he was dead. Stress also added to his problem and I am more than cer-

tain Dave has a high stress level as he is a perfectionist in all that he does.

Dave, like all of us, knows runners who went out for a run and never returned. He had no desire to drop dead running and he was getting a second chance unlike many others. He wants to die in his sleep when he is 110 or so and to see his children grow up, graduate college, and get married.

From this ordeal Dave has learned a very valuable lesson that being fit is not the same as being healthy. One does not indicate the other. Although being fit most likely saved his life as other arteries compensated for the blocked arteries, being fit also masked the underlying disease.

Being his typical over achieving self Dave has eliminated meat, soda, beer, fat, and anything that is bad for you from his diet, lost weight and dropped his cholesterol 65 points. He has started taking supplements, resumed swimming, and lifting weights and hired a personal trainer and a nutritionist. He wants to stay alive and has gotten the message loud and clear. He is considering training for another Ironman triathlon and his breathing issue is gone and his running is the best in over 15 years. He also takes his cell phone on every run.

Dave did not want to share his story with anyone but finally realized that he needed a support system of family and friends to get this job accomplished.

His wife Katie has been his biggest help. He also realized that there are many runners out there who need to hear his message and take action so they too can get a second chance before it is too late. Get checked to see if you are fit but not healthy. Raising awareness is Dave's message to all of us. We are not invincible. But we can control our own destiny with the right tools, a supportive network of family and friends, and the knowledge of where our health really is. Dave is doing much better and hopes to be around to direct many more Boston Marathons.

None of us likes to think we can be at risk. We run and we value our fitness but are we really healthy? I want to thank Dave for sharing his story and I am paying it forward to all of my readers. If this can happen to the seemingly invincible Dave McGillivray, it could happen to you. Get checked and be fit and healthy in 2014. Happy New Year!

Running Through the Bluegrass Running Psychology A Return to the Trails

The Components of Peak Performance

After a miniature running comeback in the past two years, I'm starting to feel a little "over" the marathon. I proved to myself I could still do it ... and now I don't really want to do it any more. We've all been there -- I don't know if I'd call it burnout, but I would definitely call it boredom -- and its friend, unmotivated.

So as we're all sketching out training plans and races for the spring cycle, the question looms: how to get the joy back into running? There are certainly many options -- pick a particularly exciting race; pick a different distance; diversify your training with different running workouts or with other cross-training opportunities.

For me, it signals a return to the trails.

For the past couple of months, I've found myself naturally gravitating to trails. On days I don't feel like running, the idea of zipping through trees, over logs and through creeks will get me out there. (On those same days, the idea of road running sounds like a death march.)

I don't know how to pinpoint what it is about trails that makes me so happy; I'm not sure the reason matters. But I do know the logical next step is to just focus on trail races this spring.

Fortunately, there are a ton of trail races in Kentucky. There's also many in Indiana, but I won't dwell on those here since that's a bit of a haul for most Running Journal readers. I would, however, love suggestions for more trail races in the southeast, so if you have a favorite, please send it to me either by email at tfltft@gmail.com or on Twitter at @tfltft.

My first big trail race of the year is Louisville Lovin' The Hills on Feb. 8, held outside the city at Jefferson Memorial Forest. While there is a 50k option, I'll be easing into the spring with the 15 miler.

The 50k is very popular and features some 5,500 feet of elevation gain, so if you're looking for something silly to do this spring ...

Jefferson Memorial Forest is a gorgeous place, and even if you can't make the race, I'd recommend a jaunt on the Stiltstone Trail any day. It's an out-and-back trail that will get you a total of 13 miles and includes four major climbs each way. My philosophy is that if the climbs have names, you're in trouble. Be sure to take hydration if you go -- there's nothing out there and if the weather goes crazy (common in Louisville), you could find your-

We have all had those special races when we felt great, our running was effortless, and we were totally into the race itself.

Such performances happen from time to time and when they do, we savor them, yet often pose the question, “why can't I run like that in all my races?” It may not be totally realistic to expect fabulous races every time out, but wouldn't it be great if we could somehow increase the likelihood of peak performances occurring, or in other words, increase the odds of having more great races in the future? Quite possibly, we can increase the likelihood of peak performances by better understanding the mental factors that underlie peak performances.

Much has been written over the past decade concerning peak performance, not just in sport, but in all aspects of life. Peak performance writings can be found in psychological journals, sport psychology texts, eastern religious works and even in business publications. Peak performances occur in many areas of life, yet all peak performances seem to share certain characteristics, whether the peaks occur during artistic painting, gardening or running.

The first characteristic of peak performance is a sense of timelessness, or in other words a lost track of time. If we think back on our best runs we may recall that we ran for an extended period of time, yet it felt as though we were only out for a few minutes.

On the other hand, when we are involved in something that doesn't bring us great pleasure, we may constantly look at the clock and time seems to drag by. Just what accounts for this loss of attention to time during peak performances? Well, it may be due to the second characteristic of peak performance, which is having total focus of attention on the task at hand. When totally concentrated on what we're doing, external distractions like noise and other people's voices don't enter into consciousness. Also, internal distractions, such as negative selftalk, lack of confidence and self-doubt don't interfere with what we are doing in the moment.

In running we can actually improve our ability to lose track of time and concentrate by working on it during training runs. A key skill to improve is the ability to stay in the present and focus on just what we are doing in the present moment. Many psychologists today call this concept “mindfulness.” Too often we are worrying about things that might happen in the future or are ruminating about things that have hap-

self in a pickle.

Second on the agenda is the Land Between The Lakes race. This one has several options, including a halfmarathon, marathon, 60k and 50 miler.

I'm shooting for one of the middle options -- the marathon seems manageable, but you get a belt buckle for the 60k! Really, what's 11 more miles?

This is another popular and long-standing race, put on by the West Kentucky Runners Club, this year on March 8.

Because of the variety of distances, it'll be a good race to take a group of friends.

There are plenty of camping options in the area, but there are also lots of vacation home rentals available, too. It could be a great weekend retreat for a couple or just a group of friends.

My last big one for the season will be May 10 and is up in Indiana. For years I've wanted to do the Dances With Dirt event in Gnaw Bone -- and it's finally going to happen. Gnaw Bone is near Bloomington, Ind., actually in the gorgeous Brown County State Park area. This one has some different distances available, too, including a 50k and 50 miler. I'm aiming for the 50k but have the 50 miler on my radar just in case training goes really well.

This would be my second ultra, following the now-defunct Rattlesnake race in West Virginia.

So that's the plan -- the trail is paved with good intentions! I have a smattering of shorter races penciled in, depending on scheduling and training and such. I hope each of you finds your own key to success this season -- even if it means trying something totally different!

pened in the past. Future or past tense thinking tends to result in strong emotional reactions that take our focus away from the present. So during training, we need to work to free our minds of the past and future and just get into what we're doing in the present moment. By doing so our concentration will improve and time will just slip away.

Also, when we concentrate in the present, not only do we lose track of time, but we also lose track of the self. In other words, we get so involved and focused on what we're doing, that we totally forget about the self-concept and we are simply one with the activity we are doing at the time. In running that means we are so into the actual running that we really don't think about ourselves.

Focusing in the moment means there is no distinction between the body and running, it's simply one. Many people can't even recall a lot about what actually occurred during peak performance because they were so engrossed in the performance itself. Time is lost and self is lost, all due to being totally focused on the task at hand and in the present. So by working on “mindfulness” during training, there is a greater likelihood that it will transfer into races, thereby increasing the likelihood of peak performance.

Having optimal levels of physiological arousal also appears to be a characteristic of peak performance states. What this really means is that we don't want to be too nervous, but there is a certain level of heightened anxiety that is necessary to perform well. The optimal level of arousal will be different for everyone; the key is to learn to understand just where that optimal level is.

If we think back to our best races and try to recall how nervous we felt before and during the race, we can use it as tool to improve future performance. Work on finding an optimal zone of arousal, or nervousness, and then try to get into that zone for races.

Again, it will be different for everyone, but CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

ENDURANCE | STRENGTH | C O M M IT M E N T

my local clients, I loaded up my car with kettlebells, balls, weights and anything else fun and challenging I can think of.

Rebecca recently asked if I would do some sessions in a gym with equipment she liked. Up until recently, the gym allowed “independent contractors” to train there. The gym now only allows gym-employed trainers. I saw their personal training price list. I was shocked to see that they charge more than double for a half hour what I charge for an hour. I've always tried to keep my rates affordable.

A friend in Miami pays her trainer $90 an hour. I charge half that.

I will never be a twenty-something buff super model. Just a 61 year-old injuryfree athlete. The January edition of Vegan Health and Fitness Magazine print and online versions feature me as an inspiring athlete of 2013. Great Vegan Athletes lists me as one of several female runners. Not all trainers continue to compete. I think it's very important.

My former client had said, “I just want you for personal training. Spare me the vegan lecture.” I had stuck to that, as I always do. “Build, don't break,” is my mantra for clients. Too many have told me, “I used to be a runner (or fill in the blank). I want to be you at your age.”

In an e-mail, Rebecca said, “You know all my issues. I feel safe with you. I'm blessed to have you as a trainer. I hope we can play forever.”

After a recent session, Rebecca said, “Do you like strawberries?” She gave me two pints. No finer better paycheck.

Clones please.

A running coach and friend, asked, “Do you ever wonder what happens to clients who don't come back? Do you call and ask if something was wrong, or let it go?”

Another friend, also a personal trainer, advertises that he is “a trainer to the stars.” He told me, “You know how fickle this business is. Especially with celebs … they are done with you after a few weeks.”

This happened to me for the first time. A raving fan disappeared after being with me for so long. She had offered lots of praise along the way even when she forgot appointments or was late without calling.

Even though we knew each other outside the gym, I was naive to think she'd leave there and follow me as I went out on my own … which was a much better deal for my clients and my shrinking time. Many personal trainers, if they have enough clients, prefer leaving a gym where they have to give 40-60% of their income. It got me thinking about my experience using trainers.

As a gym rat from 18, I didn't have disposable income to hire a trainer. Watching my family get sick, once I could afford a trainer, I felt it was worth it. I only hired trainers to come to my home. I always ran or walked, and cross-trained two days a week. As a busy TV reporter, I had a simple home gym. A trainer was cheaper than joining a gym, especially buying discounted packages.

I had used several trainers over decades.

I found one at a gym who eventually went on her own. The other two were referrals.

It wasn't that I fired them. It was simply that my schedule didn't allow the time or money. All the trainers were great. I probably didn't let them know enough.

Ever since a New York Times reporter wrote two years ago about how I helped her improve her marathon time by an hour, I now train lots of clients in the New York area via Skype. It's like I'm “live” in their living room.

Then there are clients like Rebecca. She had gone to local gyms because she enjoyed the equipment. But she didn't feel connected. She required a little more time, and I was glad to help. At the end of our first year together, she made me a scarf. She has brain cancer and couldn't work out for a year. She moved, but invited me to train her in her home. As with

Ultra Running How many ultras can you run?

There are too many ultras these days.

I didn't think I would ever say that, but it is true.

Years ago there were not enough ultramarathons to run. Running them meant you had to travel many miles. The community was fairly small and most runners knew, or knew of, each other.

There were pockets of ultras on the coasts, fewer in the southeast, and a

By Ray Krolewicz

www.running.net smattering through the interior of the country. Most of the good runners raced each other at least every year or so.

There were big races that were "have to" run. Nowadays some of these big races fill so fast the field is seldom elite, though a few do hold spaces for competitive (fast) runners. There were often spectacular times in those days with good times being relegated to back in the pack status.

Nowadays a runner could fill a plate and more just with races held in the Running Journal map area, or the northeast, or the west coast, or several other regions of the country. There are multiple ultras virtually every weekend within a few hours travel of anyone. On one

recent weekend there were no fewer than seven ultramarathons in the Running Journal area alone.

The plethora of races is good for the average runner, but has an adverse effect on the sport as a whole. The best runners seldom race each other anymore. When they do the races often seem to be determined more by who drops out than by head to head competition. There are still great performances from time to time, but few great head to head competitions. Even Championship events designed to bring the best runners together often fail to attract large numbers of top runners.

The fact that there are two prongs to the sport -- road/track and trails, lends to a watering down of the competition.

Many trail runners seldom venture onto the roads. Many road racers seldom venture onto trails. This in spite of the fact that a number of those who have ventured into the opposing territory have frequently had strong performances. It appears a competitive, well-trained athlete can perform regardless of venue or terrain.

During December, there were men's American and world records set at a track event in Arizona -- Desert Solstice.

There were also women's records set in the same event as well as a number of age group records. Despite this, it seems every record was set in a vacuum, with no real competition between the runners setting records, only between them and history. The closest race was at 24 hours where neither of the top two runners set a record.

There are many opportunities to run ultras or race them these days. Most runners feel the “victory� is in finishing.

They are racing their own performances, the course, the event. Time, miles, rigor of accomplishment, is seldom a factor but takes a back seat to the accomplishment of completion.

This is all well and good. There can be increased performance late in races where a personal record is at stake, a fellow competitor is at hand, or some historical mark can be broken. Most runners play it safe, which leads to finishes, but not great performances, even by those who are capable of much more than they actually achieve.

There continues to be good races.

Race directors try their best, for the most part, to put on events that will draw great competition and performances. It is time for the runners to take the challenges offered. It is time for some great head to head competitions. The sport will thank the runners for this.

He Said, She Said Duck Dynasty 5K held in Atlanta Duck Dynasty's Jep Robertson is encouraging runners across America to lace up and “Duck it Up!” in one of several Duck Dash 5Ks scheduled across the country. As one of several long-bearded cast members of a record-breaking reality show that drew nearly 12 million viewers during the premiere of its fourth season, Jep certainly seems to have a pool of prospects to entice to shake a tail feather, do some duck calling, and don a little quacky camo during duck dashes that dish out fake beards, camouflage bandanas, and “Duck it Up!” T-shirts to all participating runners. But a mere 600 participants awaited Jep's shotgun starting cue at Atlanta's recent Duck Dash 5K, only three days after A&E's announcement of Jep's father Phil's indefinite suspension from the show because of anti-gay remarks.

Harrison Lange with Jep Robertson photos by True Speed Photography

He (Harrison Lange) Said…

“Yes, I think the Robertsons certainly created waves by voicing their opinion,” 17-year old overall winner of Atlanta's Duck Dash 5K, Harrison Lange, said.

Lange, who has only been running a year, and who has already achieved impressive times, including a 5:05 mile and an 18:07 5K, is a fan of Duck Dynasty.

In fact, he has seen almost every episode, knows the names of all the cast members, and is even familiar with the Robertsons' full family tree. But unlike some participants at the Atlanta event, who wore “we support the Robertsons” on their backs and who held “Phil for President” signs in front of their hunter orange hats, bibbed overalls, and sleeve-cut camo, Lange's partici-

By Mary Marcia Brown

pation was not about supporting the personal opinions of the cast he commonly watches.

“I don't feel as if I was supporting the Robertsons [by participating in the Duck Dash],” Lange said. “I choose neither to support nor reject their opinions on the matter,” he continued, adding that he feels the issue has been “blown out of proportion”.

Of course, groups like the Human Rights Campaign, the NAACP, GLADD, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, and the National Organization for Women feel differently. Defining Robertson's remarks as “dangerous”, “inaccurate”, and “offensive”, these groups have reached out to A&E with disappointment and disapproval -- especially after the network reversed the suspension.

But the suspension had not yet been reversed as Lange readied himself for victory during Atlanta's Duck Dash 5K at Turner Field. His cross country training and his dependable 30 to 45 weekly training miles carried him over the finish line in a time of 19:09.

“It's always fun to be first to finish the race,” Lange admitted. “Having younger kids and others that just want to get better looking up to you is an added bonus,” he said.

And perhaps that type of admiration is the fuel that ignites the fury from so many.

While Lange believes that Phil Robertson “should not be criticized for his opinion or belief, [and] neither should anyone else”, others believe that making his opinions audible and stamping them in black and white, will breed hatred and discrimination in impressionable Duck Dynasty fans who flock like fledglings to the glamorized duck calls of the ones they admire.

As we enter the month of love, and as runners line up for Duck Dashes scheduled for both February 8 and 15, perhaps it is timely to also remember the other things Robertson said -- “I love all men and women. I am a lover of humanity, not a hater.”

Lange returned the sentiment saying he “will support Phil as a human being” while also working to realize all sub 17-minute 5Ks in this year's cross country season.

Maybe some soul searching and a newlyfabricated “comeback call” will be all they need to make the “World's First Ever Redneck Race” series a success.

Mary Marcia Brown with Jep Robertson photos by True Speed Photography

She (Mary Marcia Brown) Said…

The morning of Atlanta's Duck Dash 5K, was a day close to the conclusion of a two-week monsoon of merry wishes gone mad. As the holidays and all the accompanying hopes, expectations, people-pleasing, and over-extensions will sometimes bring, the days leading to the race, for me, were pervaded with mayhem, muck, and adverse luck -- none having to do with a duck, or a dash, or a mason jar trophy (which was the theme-appropriate prize I received as one of the age group winners).

I knew nothing of the race or my participation in the race until the day before, when my dad emailed a confirmation of my registration to me as a holiday surprise.

I also knew nothing of Duck Dynasty, the rough-to-rich story of redneck rise in Louisiana, or the Bible-fueled flames that ignited hurt and heated controversy. I had however seen a Yahoo headline that mentioned anti-gay remarks and Duck Dynasty in the same sentence.

As I closed my eyes the night before the race, in an attempt to get the first good night's rest in days, the vision of the headline appeared in my mind's eyes and I began to worry and wonder about the

13

specifics. I immediately wished I had an Equality or rainbow shirt to wear that would shine through any discriminatory guise that might be prevalent at the next day's dash -- but I didn't. I had a longsleeved Nike shirt, a Nike hat, Nike Pegasus and black running shorts. Pretty typical running attire for a typical race -but the Duck Dash 5K was not exactly typical.

I was among the less than 10% of runners not wearing camouflage. I mean to say, I saw camo tutus, unisex camo spandex, camo socks, hats, hoodies, suspenders, sports bras, and hairbows. The camouflage was embellished even further with fake beards, fluorescent orange and even inflatable rubber duckies.

Camera flashes fluttered furiously when Jep Robertson appeared at the microphone, told some kind of story about his Uncle Si, and asked “Y'all ready to run?” before grabbing his shotgun to start the race. I could not help but wonder why this longhaired guy with a wooly beard, boots and bandana would be working and promoting a 5K race series. After the race, and as I sat at a distant picnic table watching droves of runners form a long line to get Jep's autograph and picture, I also wondered what his father had said and if he had agreed.

Later, when I had dried off, warmed up and refueled after the race, I read the specifics of GQ's Drew Magary's conversation with Phil Robertson. I read the crass comments about female and male anatomy, the delusional assessment of preCivil Rights happiness, and the rigid personal opinions about Phil's take on right and wrong. Instead of becoming angry and offended, I instantly felt sorry for Phil Roberston -- sad that his deeply ingrained, intransigent beliefs (protected through the veil of faith), could cause him to close off from clarity and see certain groups and individuals through the clouded lenses of contradicting text-inspired, self-righteously defined wrong.

But maybe the growing Duck Dash 5K race series will pave a path for the Robertsons to realize broader beliefs, more open mindedness, and wider acceptance.

Maybe the diversity of runners reliably assembled at road race starting lines will inspire speed of healing from hurtful comments, miles of learning before the familiar Frost's sleep, and personal bests that extend beyond the finish line clock.

Runners certainly know about speed, miles, and personal bests. Optimistically, the sight of our unity at starting lines across the country will inspire Duck Dynasty to act a little differently in the future, and save the ruffling of tail feathers for the flight to 5K finish lines.

Quality Sports Nutrition Information: At Your Fingertips The Internet offers an amazing array of sports nutrition information — but it also contributes to great confusion. Many runners complain to me about information overload; they have no idea whom to believe and how to determine which websites offer reputable advice. No wonder; if you google “credible sports nutrition information,” you’ will find over four million links!

If you are like most runners, you simply want to know how to find valid information that tells you what and when to eat to perform at your best. Here’s a list of websites, books, and key resources to help you fuel wisely, eat healthfully, and feel confident with your food choices.

WEBSITES Some excellent Internet resources include: www.PowerBar.com/nutrition-in-training and www.gssiweb.org Both PowerBar and The Gatorade Sports Science Institute offer excellent sports nutrition articles written by leading sports scientists.

Educational, not just promotional! www.ausport.gov.au/ais/nutrition The Australian Institute for Sport has abundant sports nutrition fact sheets as well as information on supplements and body size/shape. w w w. M o m s Te a m . c o m / n u t r i t i o n Information for parents of young athletes www.whfoods.org The World’s Healthiest Foods website is packed with information about the healthiest ways of eating and cooking. (Check out “What happens when I eat a bowl of cereal?” to see animated digestion in action!) www.nationaleatingdisorders.org This website offers extensive resources for people who struggle with food, weight, and body image issues, as well as offers support for loved ones.

NEWSLETTERS For monthly mailed newsletters that offer detailed yet easy to read coverage of current nutrition, wellness and fitness concerns, check out: —Tufts Health & Nutrition Newsletter (tuftshealthletter.com; $24) —Berkeley Wellness Letter (www.wellnessletter.com; $24).

—Nutrition Action Healthletter by the Center for Science in the Public Interest.

CSPI challenges the food industry to clean up their act! (www.CSPInet.org; $20) BOOKS While few of today’s athletes take the time to sit down and read a book, they can certainly benefit from using well-indexed books as a resource. Some titles I recommend:

By Nancy Clark, M.S., R.D.

General nutrition books: • The American Dietetic Association’s Complete Food & Nutrition Guide by Roberta Duyff RD • The Best Things You Can Eat by David Grotto RD • Cooking Light. The Food Lover’s Healthy Habits Cookbook with Janet Helm RD • Secrets of Feeding a Healthy Family: Orchestrating and Enjoying the Family Meal by Ellyn Satter.

Sports nutrition books And now for some shameless self-promoting…

• Nancy Clark’s Sports Nutrition Guidebook, new 5th edition.

Having sold over 550,000 copies, this easy-to-read resource is considered by many athletes to be their “nutrition bible.”

It’s comprehensive yet enjoyable—and even has a recipes.

You might also enjoy my sport-specific books that make useful gifts for friends, family and teammates: • Food Guide for Marathoners: Tips for Everyday Champions • Food Guide for New Runners: Getting It Right From the Start • The Cyclist’s Food Guide: Fueling for the Distance • Food Guide for Soccer: Tips and Recipes from the Pros Other excellent sports nutrition books include: • Endurance Sports Nutrition, new 3rd Edition by Suzanne Gerard Eberle RD • Power Eating, new 4th edition, by Susan Kleiner RD • Vegetarian Sports Nutrition by Enette Larson-Meyer RD. • Diabetic Athlete’s Handbook by Sherri Colberg • The Athlete’s Guide to Sports Supplements by Kimberly Mueller RD and Josh Hingst Books on Weight issues, Dieting, Eating Disorders An estimated 30 to 60 percent of female athletes (as well as a smaller number of males) struggle with balancing food,

weight, and exercise. If you or someone you know struggles with disordered eating patterns, let them know they are not alone and can benefit from these self-help books.

• Food and Feelings Workbook: A Full Course Meal on Emotional Health by K. Koenig.

• Surviving an Eating Disorder: Perspectives and Strategies for Family & Friends by M. Siegel et al.

• Your Overweight Child: Helping Without Harming by E. Satter PRIMARILY FOR PROFESSIONALS While most professional journals offer “heavy” reading, one exception is the International Journal of Sport Nutrition & Exercise Metabolism. While it is far from “light” reading, you’ll learn the latest research on carbohydrates, protein, sports supplements, fueling practices, plus more. (http://jour nals.humankinetics.com; $11/year).

PERSONALIZED ADVICE No website or book can compare with sitting down and talking with a sports dietitian in person. A one-on-one, personalized approach is best to learn what, when, and how to eat to fuel your unique body for top performance. To find a local sports dietitian, enter your zip code into the referral networks at www.SCANdpg.org or www.eatright.org. You may be surprised to learn how much you don’t know.

Learning from the Young Guns 4 Workouts to Spice Up Your Training As runners, most of us have staple workouts we come back to over and over again (some of us even come back to them every single day). As an athlete I had key workouts that let me know I was ready to race. As a coach I have workouts I implement consistently during certain points of a buildup. However, despite what we may want to believe, myself sometimes included, the truth is there are no magic workouts. Having benchmark workouts are a good thing, they measure progress and give us confidence heading into races, but variance is an important factor in development as well. This month I’d like to share four of my favorite workouts and challenge you to give them a test spin and mix up your routine a bit as you prepare for spring races.

Workout 1: The Progression Run. Progression runs are perfect for the early stages of a training program, but they can also be used effectively throughout the buildup. The purpose behind the progression run is two-fold. Primarily, the progression run stimulates the anaerobic threshold, the cornerstone of higher intensity workouts for all distance runners.

What I love about the progression run is the unique way in which it develops the aerobic system. The progression run allows an athlete to ease their way into the workout a little bit more moderately.

Most athletes tend to start workouts too fast, and this can result in not being able to finish workouts or running beyond the intended scope of a given workout. The progression run tempers this problem because the intention is to start out slowly and gradually progress through the workout. Learning the discipline of being patient and methodical during training sessions translates to races, and this required focus is the hidden benefit of the progression run.

Execution: Start the workout 10-15 seconds per mile slower than marathon pace and move evenly forward a few seconds per mile each mile so you are finishing the final mile 5-10 seconds per mile slower than 10K pace.

Workout 2: Descending Tempo Fartlek. Fartlek runs are another great example of a workout that can be utilized throughout a training program. The fartlek run (Swedish for “speed play,” go

ahead, get the giggles out) is a continuous workout which alternates between pieces of quicker running and pieces of easier running. The workout, when run more moderately early in a training program, stimulates the anaerobic threshold and allows us to practice shifting gears during races. You can implement a fartlek later in a training program to replicate interval training by making the quicker pieces much faster and the slower pieces much slower.

Execution: Start with a 6 minute piece, run at or a little quicker than half marathon effort, followed by a slower 3 minute piece at normal easy day pace. For this fartlek the slower running piece is simply half the time of the previous quicker piece. The 3 minute slower piece is followed by a 5 minute piece, and the pattern repeats itself with each quicker piece being 1 minute less in duration than the previous. The duration of the quicker pieces are: 6-5-4-3-2-1 with the slower pieces being run after each quicker piece.

The goal is to run each successive quick

some feelings of anxiety are not detrimental and may actually be a sign of a peak per formance getting ready to happen. Many people describe it as having a sense of calm, yet a sense of excitement as well. It's energy that is focused, which allows for feelings of being effortless and in total control.

Of course confidence and motivation are also characteristics of peak performance.

To have great performances there must be high levels of motivation, or in other words, we really have to want to be out running and running well. Usually motivation isn't a problem on race day, but sometimes confidence is. Lack of confidence is really selfdoubt, which leads to negative self-talk and

piece a few seconds per mile quicker than the previous, aiming for roughly 5K pace for the final 1 minute piece. The recovery pace should remain the same throughout the workout. To make the workout more of an interval workout start the 6 minute piece at 10K pace and make the slow pieces very easy.

Workout 3: 2 Mile Repeats. This is a workout I assign frequently during the specific preparation phase of a buildup for events from 10K to the marathon. The energy system at work during this session is similar to that of a progression run, but the intensity is higher for a longer period of time, making this workout more demanding and one you should avoid as you’re just getting started in a program. I will use this workout in the final 10 weeks of a training program, the specific preparation phase. The aim is to run these repeats at a moderate effort, not all out, with very little recovery.

Execution: The number of repeats depends on what event you’re preparing for as well as your overall level of experience and training volume. For a runner averaging 35 miles per week or less I recommend starting with 2 repeats. For a runner averaging 35-55 miles per week and preparing for a half marathon or full marathon I recommend 3 repeats. For the experienced runner accustomed to higher training volumes 3-4 repeats is appropriate. As with everything, the goal is to make each repeat a touch faster than the previous. Start the first repeat at half a lack of focus, both of which can hinder the chances of peak performance occurring. Confidence is really a choice that we all make. If we have trained hard and done our best preparing for a race then why not choose to be confident? What more could be done? Just trust, believe in the training and go out and allow a good race to happen.

We don't need to get in our own way by being negative with ourselves and not being confident. Just think about the passion that is felt for running and the hard work that has been done. Then be at ease, focus on what needs to be done and just let the race happen. None of us should allow a lack of confidence to stand in the way of a great performance.

While peak performance states can never be guaranteed, we can all work to cultivate the factors that can enhance the likelihood

marathon effort and work down 5-10 seconds each repeat to where the last 2 miles are at or near 10K effort. The recovery between each should be a very easy 90120 second jog.

Workout 4: Tempo 400s. This is my favorite icing on the cake workout. This session should be done in the final month of preparation. It is intended to work on economy and put a little bit of snap in your legs. As alluded to in the name, it’s also an aerobically based workout in disguise, a recurring theme I’m sure you’ve noticed by now.

Execution: The number of repeats should be based on the guidelines from the 2 Mile Repeat workout above, but can vary between 2-4 sets of (4x400m). The recovery should be 45-50 seconds between repeats and 2:00-2:30 between sets. Start the first set 5-10 seconds/mile quicker than half marathon pace and finishing the final set at 5K pace or even a few ticks quicker. You should finish feeling in control and comfortable.

Jump start your winter by spicing up your routine a little and realize the benefits of adding variety into your training regimen.

of peak performance occurring. By being more mindful and learning to focus more in the present and just getting lost in the act of running, we are more likely to experience peak performance. Learn how to find the optimal state of arousal and work to get there before every race. Be confident in ourselves and our training because not trusting ourselves or our training will only decrease the chance of peak performance.

Our next race is true opportunity for a peak performance state to occur. Just let it happen!

For the Love of Running

Biggest Day For Races July 4th or Thanksgiving Day?

Keeping the Scales Level

Did you see the little chart in the USA Today newspaper late last year? It caught my wife Kathy's and my eye. It showed a graph with five or six races on it and said that Thanksgiving Day had supplanted July 4th as the single day on which the most races were held in the United States.

The first mega-race we ever ran was Peachtree in Atlanta on July 4th back in 1979. It was huge for the time -- they had about 12,000 finishers. It was the largest race we had ever run, and the second largest race was the Turkey Day in Charleston we had done the previous Thanksgiving with 623 finishers. So July 4th and Turkey Day runs have been a big ongoing thing for a long time. BTW -- the largest single day race for South Carolina in '79 was the Cooper River Bridge Run with 1,015 finishers, and it was the largest in '13 with 31,459 finishers. Peachtree had 55,850 timed finishers in '13. Some things haven't changed, except to get larger.

If you saw the USA Today blurb did you wonder if it was true? I noticed they had used statistics from Running USA (a reliable source) so my doubt was erased. But does it hold true in your state? Time for a research project.

To arrange, adjust or proportion the parts symmetrically. That is one definition for the word "balance," and it is not always as easy as simply standing on one foot. It's early in 2014 and most of you have set, or are thinking about, your goals for the year. Once those goals are set, the tough part is working hard enough to achieve them and still maintaining a proper balance with everything else in your life.

I was not always best at this: Get up at 3:30 a.m. to get in my workouts and miles before work so it wouldn't interfere with the rest of life after work was over.

Sounds good in theory, but by 8 p.m., when I was already falling asleep, it sort of defeated the purpose. My fix for that was fighting through it and staying up and just getting less and less sleep and that came with its own downside. My scales never really felt balanced, but instead it was a constant adding or taking away to try to keep them in equilibrium.

Since I was not the greatest example of balance, I reached out to members of my running club, The Lakeland Runners Club in Lakeland, FL, to see if any of them were more successful. It turns out that many did like I did and turned to the predawn hours to squeeze the running in.

“The only way running fits in is at 5 a.m. and as early as 4:30 a.m. Thankfully, there are enough other moms that have to balance it the same way so I am not alone,” said Wendy Fitzsimmons.

“Running that early leaves time for work and the kid's activities after school.

Though dinner can be interesting some nights.”

The effects on the nightly meal were a recurring theme and Vicky Powell handles it with the basics. “One of the hard things about working and running in the evenings during the week, is planning dinner for your family. Sometimes, they have to opt for cereal or a PB&J. Coby (her husband) likes both, so I'm good, fortunately. Having a supportive partner is a blessing.”

An important factor in balancing the running life is the support system that surrounds you -- and what better type of support than a fellow runner. “It helps to have a spouse who trains as well. We work together to make sure each of us gets our training in. Since we both see importance in it, it works,” said Stephanie

By Cedric Jaggers

Since I try to keep up with all the races in the state where I live I dug through my data and voila, as you can see below: it is true for South Carolina; 17 timed races on Thanksgiving, nine timed on July 4th.

How about your state? I'd like to hear from you. But even if you don't know for sure, maybe we'll see you at a July 4th or Thanksgiving Day race this year; there are lots of them out there.

Zimmerman who just ran her first marathon along with husband Marc.

A non-running spouse can be just as important to the success of fitting everything in, even if that means they have to go that extra mile themselves. “A supportive spouse and family is key,” says Allison Lund. “Many Saturday nights we have cut our family outings short so that I can get rest before my Sunday morning long run.

My husband got our kids ready and took them to church a few times when my run went longer than expected. He also brings our boys to most of my races. During one of my races on Lake Hollingsworth, he drove around the lake with the kids and all three of them shouted out the window at me, 'Hurry up slow poke.'"

Others had a little different spin on what the balance of life truly is. “For me, I don't have balance in life without running and racing,” said Honey Santana of Winter Haven, FL. “Running is the key to balance. It is my therapy, my outlet, my "thing" in life that makes me feel strong and revitalized. For me, it's more about making running a priority and less about figuring out how to work it into my schedule.”

But amongst all these keys to balance, Tom Rogers said it best. “I use a wifeometer. It's the best gauge I have found to find balance. If I start training too much it makes a loud nagging noise until I slow down. Happy wife, happy life!”

I wish you all the best of luck with balancing all that life has to offer and with meeting or surpassing all of your 2014 running and life goals.

Josh Whitehead wins 37th annual Rocket City Marathon, Mudy repeats as female champion

By Mary Lou Day HUNTSVILLE, AL - Heavy rain showers swept through Huntsville in the early hours of Dec. 14, but let up just in time for the start of the 37th annual Rocket City Marathon. Only a light drizzle remained and with temperatures in the 50s, the weather was ideal for the more than 1,400 runners. The marathon was once again part of the Running Journal Grand Prix and runners scoring in the competition received double points.

Local runner, Josh Whitehead, 35, pulled away from his competitors mid-way through the race to claim his first Rocket City win. Whitehead, 35, of Madison finished in 2:27:25. It was Whitehead’s fourth time running Rocket City. Brian Shelton, 34, of Cookeville, TN, was nearly a minute and a half behind to finish second in 2:28:59.

Justin Leach, 26, of Birmingham ran 2:34:28 for third, while J. Penny, 26, of Johnson City, TN, was fourth in 2:36:21. Mark Paulson, 26, of Georgetown, KY, was fifth in 2:38:33.

Justyne Mudy, 29, a native of Poland, who now lives in Rome, GA, was back to try to repeat her win from last year on the women’s side. She did just that with a winning time of 2:46:36, 22 seconds better than her 2012 time.

Mudy was 13th overall. Kimberlie Meeker, 33, of Rome, GA, was second in 2:51:48.

Josh Whitehead Kay Anne Starosciak, 40, of Canton, GA, was third in 2:58:31.

Elena Linn, 27 of Vestavia, AL, was close behind for fourth (2:58:55) while Blair Burnette, 27, of Nashville, TN, was fifth in 3:06:44.

Matt Pulle, 41, of Nashville, TN, was the male masters winner in 2:40:36.

Scott Colford, 43, of Logansport, IN, was second, running 2:42:31 and Scott Jansky, 40, of Two Rivers, WI, took third in 2:43:27.

Third-place female, Kaye Anne Starosciak, also led the female masters, with Meredith Smith, of Ashland City, TN, last year’s winner in the masters race, second in 3:15:49. Shannon Carson, 45, of Pearl, MS, was third in 3:31:10.

Next year’s Rocket City Marathon will feature a newly designed course and a larger race field. The new route will showcase some of Huntsville’s landmarks, like the Botanical Gardens, the Space & Rocket Center, and the historic Maple Grove Cemetary.

Larry Marett of Amory, MS, celebrated his 75th birthday by finishing second in his new age group in 4:57:22.

The Rocket City Marathon is conducted by the Huntsville Track Club and directed by Dink and Suzanne Taylor, owners of Fleet Feet Huntsville. Full results of the race can be found at the race website: www.runrocketcity.com.
