Running Through the Bluegrass Becoming a Gym Rat I have often said I don't really like exercising -- I just like running. People who go to the gym and “work out” seemed strange to me. Until now.

Previously, when I was logging big miles and running well, I did do some cross-training, but mostly just to improve my running.

Then I got engaged. This, as many women can tell you, is motivation to do crazy things. And, in general, has prompted a lot of change in our household. Both my fiancé and I want to look good on our big day, which means upping our fitness regimes.

To fit in my dress, I need to lose an inch off my waist. This prompted a diet, which has successfully lasted six weeks and almost 10 fewer pounds. But, I knew I also need to be generally more fit and would like to look more toned. This would require something more than just running.

Chris set his sights on a half-Ironman this summer and marking his return to triathlons. After four consecutive Ironman Louisville events, he has taken about 3.5 years away from the tri scene. April 13 marks his return, with a sprint event.

But to train for a triathlon, one needs access to a lot of training opportunities.

An indoor pool, for example, and indoor cycling and running options for inclement weather days.

So we came to a pretty easy consensus: join Baptist Milestone Wellness Center.

This was Chris' gym-of-choice when he was Ironman training; I had been there as a guest a few times.

This place is nothing short of amazing.

It's worth a Google search. It is a 70,000square-foot facility, with two pools (a lap pool and a therapy pool), 250+ fitness and aquatic classes, more treadmills and cardio equipment than I could count, a walking/jogging track, a cafe and a spa.

I had actually been advocating for us joining for several months. Once we got engaged -- in December -- I knew I wouldn't do a marathon this year. (Okay, I'm considering Memphis or another December full, but we'll see.)

Since I knew my running would be less intense, I wanted to supplement my routine -- and fit in this dress!

At Milestone, I can take Pilates and other core classes (they even have a full Pilates studio full of what appears to be medieval torture devices), and I can take yoga and other stretching classes. That forces me to do two things I hate doing --

By Tracy Harris

abs and stretching. Yuck.

I have also started to go to spin class on my no-running day, which works different muscles in my legs, for sure.

Chris, meanwhile, has access to treadmills and spin classes (including at least one class where you do both), plus the pool and all the other strength-training equipment he wants.

Oh, and because they are half-owned by a local hospital, there's a physical therapy office on-site. All members get a PT consult for free every quarter.

For heaven's sake, the place has WiFi! Get this. I can run (inside or out, it's next to two parks), go to a group class, shower (free towel service!) and have dinner at the cafe while doing work from my iPad. Or, on days that I go to the gym early (spin at 5:55 a.m., stretch/abs class at 6:40), I can get ready for work (they have dozens of hair dryers and even hairspray!) and grab a coffee and healthy breakfast sandwich on my way out.

It is interesting to see how much our lives have shifted -- for the better -- since joining a month ago. We are fitter, more well-rounded and, I think, generally happier.

Who knew "working out" could be so enjoyable?

EAT WELL, RUN WELL

Eating Disorders in Runners: The Good News Don’t let Yes, there is good news about eating disorders. You, as a friend, parent, and coach, can help prevent them in young runners! But before we get to that good news, let's take a look at the ugly stuff: Too many athletes (including runners of all ages) struggle with food. Some have disordered eating patterns; others have outright eating disorders. A Norwegian study showed that 14 percent of elite female teen athletes have developed an eating disorder by the ages of 15/16, as compared to only 3 percent of their non-athletic peers. Among older athletes, most report having started dieting and developing an eating disorder during puberty or adolescence. (You know, when at age 12, your parent suggested you go to Weight Watchers...) While the prevalence of eating disorders is higher among elite athletes than non-athletes, and higher in females than in males, the runners, dancers, gymnasts and others who compete in weightsensitive sports are the most vulnerable.

The ugly stuff: eating disorders are harmful!

An eating disorder is a psychological diagnosis (not a nutritional diagnosis, even the symptoms show up in food-related issues).

Eating disorders often start at the time of puberty, when the body is changing and maturing. The skinny little runner who starts to mature and lay down some body fat (a normal part of puberty) can feel out of control, imperfect, and scared that she'll get fatter and fatter and fatter. Add in a critical comment from a parent, coach, or teammate (“Maybe you should lose a little weight...) and the kid believes she is not good enough. The “simple” solution is to eat less and exercise more, but that can become a vicious cycle of restricting (anorexia), restricting/bingeing (bulimia), or other variations of obsessive dieting.

Weight issues tend to be “I'm not good enough” issues. Feeling imperfect or out of control is an unhappy place to live, so a young runner might distract himself from feeling that discomfort by keeping himself busy tracking calories, exercising to burn fat, and obsessing about what, when and how much to eat. Foodthoughts can occupy 99 percent of the day, leaving little time or energy to deal with the real issue: poor self-esteem and why he doesn't feel good about himself.

To every athlete's detriment, dieting/restricting food can hurt the body's ability to function normally (as commonly noted by feeling cold and tired all the time, and in women, ceasing to have regular menstrual periods). Bones become weakened, stress fractures occur, and osteoporosis appears too young. Future infertility can be a sad consequence.

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

The good news: Eating disorders can be prevented.

Preventing eating disorders is certainly preferable to dealing with them. Marianne Martinsen and colleagues at the Norwegian School of Sports Sciences have researched how to prevent eating disorders from starting in the first place (Med Sci Sports Exerc, March 2014). They created a one-year program to try to prevent the development of new cases of eating disorders among first-year students representing 50 different sports/disciplines attending all 16 Elite Sport High Schools in Norway. The researchers randomized the different schools into the intervention group (received the program) and the control group (no input). In total, they followed 465 male and female first-year students during three years of high school. To create supportive environments also the athletes coaches at the schools were included in the intervention.

The primary focus of the eating disorders prevention program was to enhance selfesteem by strengthening the students' self-efficacy (belief in themselves and their abilities to meet performance goals). Over the course of the year, the intervention students attended lectures, performed teamwork exercises, and completed homework assignments. On a closed Facebook page, they read posts by renowned athletes who shared their experiences related to self-esteem, self-efficacy, and mental training. Every day, for several weeks, each student recorded three positive events that were not related to their sports performance, as a way to develop a strong sense of themselves that was not contingent on performance or approval from significant others

The students learned the following information: --physiological changes that occur during puberty.

--the role of nutrition with enhancing performance.

--the need for proper fueling throughout the 24-hour day.

--ways to evaluate the latest nutrition supplements, diets.

--the importance of rest days; the dangers of overtraining.

--causes of stress in competitive athletics; how to manage it.

--how to set reasonable and achievable goals.

--visualization techniques to build a positive mindset.

--skills to create positive self-talk.

--how to show concern for teammates with eating issues.

As a result of the one-year intervention program, the female athletes significantly reduced their dieting behaviors by 90 percent. Not one of the athletes developed an eating disorder during that year or the one-year follow-up - a contrast to 13 percent of the female athletes in the control schools. Of the 13 athletes who started the educational program with an eating disorder, 12 recovered. In comparison, only 4 of the 13 with eating disorders in the control group recovered.

So what does this mean for you?

As a runner, you are undoubtedly self-critical. But the possibility exists that you (and your body) are indeed good enough the way you are. With counseling (as opposed to dieting), you can address those “I'm not good enough” demons that dominate your thoughts and lead you to believe you are not smart enough, strong enough, fast enough, thin enough, good enough. Fortunately, with the help of a therapist and a sports dietitian, you can find a more peaceful way to live and to care for yourself, including proper fueling.

If you are a friend of a runner who is struggling, express your concern about how tired, unhappy, or withdrawn your friend seems.

Repeatedly ask, “Are you OK?” Tips at www.nationaleatingdisorders.org and books at www.edcatalogue.com can help you make a difference in someone's life.

Running Journal • May, 2014

Running Psychology A Different View Do you ever feel like running is a struggle? Each race or workout you run seems to be physically and mentally hard and it just seems like your fitness and performance doesn't get any better. It's not that you're really getting slower, it's just that you don't seem to be getting any faster. Often times the whole situation doesn't make a lot of sense. You truly believe you are capable of performing better. You have genuine self-confidence in yourself. But it's as if you're running in one of those weird dreams where you run really hard, but don't seem to go anywhere.

This feeling of being stuck really isn't unusual for runners, or any other athletes for that matter. All runners have to deal with the emotions of not seeing constant, steady improvement at some point in their running careers. Many coaches simply feel these performance plateaus are a normal part of training. Progression will never be perfectly linear.

Sometimes you improve quickly, while at other times you may stagnate. The goal should be to make the periods of performance stagnation as short as possible and get you back to a positive trend in your training and performance.

Performance stagnation is often the result of spending too long of a period in a particular training phase, not having a physiologically appropriate training program or even too much time in the same training environment, i.e. same course, same pace etc. Stagnation may be the result of pure unadulterated boredom. The stagnation in performance can sometimes be more to do with mental fac-

tors than physical problems.

Racing schedules can also lead to running performance problems. Too few races can lead you to lose sight of your goal and you may begin to feel your hard work has no real purpose or meaning. On the other hand, too many races may not allow for adequate physical and mental recovery, both of which can lead to overtraining and running burnout.

The main point for most runners to ponder is how to view these periods of stagnation and get back on the running fast track. First and foremost, be sure you have a sound training program. A good training program is well planned with different phases, which stress different intensities and mileage at different times of the year. Too often runners get locked into a training plan that does not

have any specific goal in mind. This may result in a pattern of running which varies little in intensity and duration each day. As a result your body adapts and little training effect occurs past a specific point, leading to a performance plateau. There must be progressive overload placed on the body in order for training adaptations to occur. As your fitness improves your training must change or there will be no further gains.

Plan your races for variation as well. If you do like to race frequently, try to vary the distances.

Don't race the same distance every weekend. Mix it up and view certain races as training and preparation for a major race you may be looking toward down the road. Run a road mile, cross-country race or even try a duathlon. This variation in stress on the body will improve your physiological parameters, while at the same time help to prevent mental fatigue and boredom.

Psychologically, there are a number of things that can be done to increase the likelihood of breaking out of a pattern of running stagnation. A key word to remember is CHANGE! First and foremost, do something different. Run some totally different workouts, do more fartlek, run some hills.

Just do a different type running which is different from your normal routine. Try running at a different time of day. Run in a different geographic location. Run a totally new route. Personally, I know I get mentally stuck running the same routes and it really does help mentally when I try a new one. So get away from the old three-mile loop! Go and run around a field, go to a different town, go out to a farm -- just run anywhere different. If you normally run on the road, try to run some on grass or trails.

Hate the track? Well go to the track for some workouts simply for a change of pace. You may even consider (heaven forbid for some) taking a day off and even participating in another physical activity.

Run with other people. Put the fun back in your running! Change your view on running, both literally and psychologically.

Try not get overly “stressed out” about feeling stuck in your running habits. Above all, don't panic.

Sometimes simple patience is the key to getting out of a period of stagnant running performance. If you truly believe in your training program then give it a little time. All of us are different and physiologically respond to training differently. Too often runners will try to break out of a down period by drastically increasing their mileage or training intensity.

While this may help in some cases, there is always the risk of physically and mentally wearing yourself out, which will result in further performance decrements. Overtraining and burnout can result when drastic increases are made in mileage and/or intensity. If overtraining and burnout do occur, you will have a lot more running problems on your hands than just being at a performance stagnation point. Chronic fatigue and motivation problems may totally ruin your season if overtraining occurs.

Try to ere on the side of caution when changing your actual training plan.

Remember; if you feel like you are mired in running quicksand, be patient and try to make some changes that will refresh you mentally. Often a change in mental outlook is all that it takes to achieve a performance breakthrough. If you're fresh mentally you will be more motivated to run hard and your confidence will be high. Recognize when you're beginning to get stagnant and frustrated and do something about it before it gets too prolonged. Remember to train hard, but train smart and have fun! You may be closer to a running breakthrough than you could ever imagine. Take a different view on things. Maybe your running glass is really half full, not half empty!

This Running Life

www.running.net said he was on his way to work. Police are also investigating to find out if he was texting behind the wheel of his car.

Amy Garza lives in Tempe, Arizona. She had never met Meg Menzies, but she planned to run the Boston Marathon for her. Amy has been running for Meg ever since she learned of the runner's death. As of April 2, she had passed the 310-mile mark.

Beloved in the Community After Meg was killed, friends set up a Meg's Miles Supporters tribute page on Facebook “Meg was always a runner. She was beauti- and planned a memorial run for Jan, 18, asking ful inside and out, and in every way that mat- runners everywhere to log miles in Meg's ters,” Sabrina said. “She was a Christian and memory. did not have a mean bone in her body.

Runner’s death inspires thousands worldwide It is the middle of March, and I am sitting in a line of cars and trucks waiting on a long CSX train to cross Patrick Henry Road in Hanover County, Va., a suburban district that snuggles up next to Richmond. It looks and feels like a rural hamlet, its scenic landscape decorated with sprawling horse farms and sites commemorating the area's rich Revolutionary War history.

In reality, Hanover County is home to over 100,000 residents, and Patrick Henry Road is a bustling thoroughfare connecting these folks to their jobs, shopping centers, and businesses.

The road links Highway 301 to Interstate-95 so tightly you can almost hear the sounds of traffic speeding north and south.

The tragic death of a local runner that has become an international phenomenon has brought me here.

I thought about how it would feel to run along this roadway. On this day, the sky is perfectly blue, and the temperature is so warm I am tempted to put the top down on my car. It is nearly 5 p.m. and the late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the fields that line the roadway.

Even though the posted speed limit is 45 mph, and I am driving at least five miles-an-

hour over that, vehicles hover close to my back bumper and zoom around me whenever they get a break in oncoming traffic.

Tragic Encounter Meg and Scott Menzies likely were not thinking about traffic or trains on a crisp winter morning, Jan. 13, as they set out to run along this beautiful section of Patrick Henry Road. Meg was training for the Boston Marathon. Scott, wearing a safety vest, was running just ahead of her. It was about 8:15 a.m.

As they ran along the narrow shoulder of the road facing traffic, a 2008 Toyota Sequoia came out of nowhere. Scott jumped out of the way and shouted for Meg. She tried to get out of the way, too, but the vehicle ran off the road right into her path.

She didn't stand a chance.

In a flash, Meg Cross Menzies was gone, leaving a husband and three small children.

She was 34 years old.

A signpost for Hickory Hill Road is perched at an intersection a couple of curving miles past the railroad track. Dozens of colorful running shoes hang on it like Christmas tree ornaments. Here and there people have inserted heartfelt notes and whimsical trinkets. About 50 yards away, someone has constructed a slender white cross with a pair of running shoes attached to it.

A few small hyacinths are starting to poke their purple heads out of the earth, the first flowers to emerge in a small memorial garden planted at the foot of the cross.

Sabrina Civils was on her way to her job as a financial administrator at a Richmond High School when she heard the news that a “Hanover jogger” had been struck and killed that morning.

“I remember thinking how terrible that was,” she said.

Sabrina had known Meg since the eighth grade and credits her friend for introducing her to the track team in high school. But it never entered her mind that Meg was the jogger who had died that day.

“Her sister called me and said she had bad news,” Sabrina recalls. “I just lost it.”

Over 1,200 people packed Meg's funeral service.

Runners from Richmond and beyond erected this memorial to the memory of Meg Menzies close to the spot where she was hit by a car and killed while training for the Boston Marathon last January.

www.running.net CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 in the nation and all around the world are still running miles for Meg. “People join the page every day,” said Brooke Roney, the site administrator. “It has become a sort of running support group.”

Indeed, people who have never even run to their mailboxes have started training for races, and logging miles for Meg. They post messages about their hopes and dreams. They post about their own sorrows and heartbreaks, and they post about running to honor Meg. “Meg has inspired a lot of people to get moving, to exercise and get healthy,” Brooke said. “She turned many people on to running in her community.”

Now her influence is worldwide.

Kindred Spirit “The fact that Meg was a mother of three and that she died on an early morning run really hit me hard,” Amy Garza wrote in an email to me.

“It could have been me in her place, or any one of the wonderful running mothers I know who get up early in the morning while their children are still sleeping to get their workout in order to still be home in time to get them up and ready and off to school.”

Amy has donated her favorite pair of Vibrams to “Soles of Love,” a special Boston Marathon memorial sculpture constructed out of donated running shoes as a tribute to Meg. Amy wrote a note to the Soles of Love organizer, and tucked it into the package with her Vibrams: “Last night, I took a Sharpie to my favorite pink Vibrams Fivefingers, the pair that I (wore in) my first marathon in January 2012. This morning, I put these shoes on for the last time before shipping them off to you. I am starting to taper for Boston, so my 7-mile run could've been a little slower today, but it wasn't. I felt like I had wings. It was all Meg.” Well-known runner and journalist Bart Yasso has signed on as a Meg's Miles supporter. So has Olympian Deena Kastor. Natalie Morales, an anchor with NBC's Today Show

Running Journal • May, 2014 has tweeted about Meg's Miles.

I called Bart and asked him why this movement has grown so big.

He attributes it partly to the power of social media. He also said giving people a forum to respond to a tragedy is part of the healing process, and he predicted something good will come from the tragedy.

“The Richmond running community is really strong,” he said. “I run several times a year in Richmond, and I can see the power of the Richmond Running Club.”

Sabrina plans to set up a foundation to advocate for healthy lifestyles and safety, with a focus on Meg's Christian values. She also plans to use the foundation to help kids who have lost parents in accidents involving drunk driving and texting.

The Meg's Miles organizers already have raised over $33,000 through tee shirt sales and donations.

In Meg, Amy Garza has found a kindred spirit.

“We have quite a few parallels in our lives, even though we live across the United States from each other. I am drawn to the page and love reading the posts by people who have also been touched by Meg's story. I love that there are so many people in the world who seem to turn tragedy into something positive. I'm not sure I would have the strength to do it, but I hope I would. It makes the world seem a little smaller somehow and brings us all together for a common purpose.”

Sabrina is not surprised that Meg's spirit is so powerful. She was a strong force for running and healthy living in the Richmond area.

Now she's impacting thousands of people around the globe.

“This has become a chain reaction all over the world,” she said. “Meg is smiling down on us. She has made such an impact on so many lives.”

She is working her magic from Heaven now.

Down the Road I Don’t Wanna Go To Rehab, Or Do I? With apologies to the late Amy Winehouse who purportedly went to rehab once and then stopped going. She got famous for a song about it, but paid for her action or should I say inaction with her life. I think it pays off if we keep going. Of course I'm talking about physical rehabilitation for runners and others, not drug rehab.

The first time I got a stress fracture was at the New York City Marathon back in 1980. I saw my family physician and took his advice and six weeks later I was running again. This time I got a stress fracture last year in a car wreck, which I've mentioned in previous articles. But unbeknownst to me (and isn't that a great word) there was a lot more damage than just the stress fracture. So this time after the concussion and neck and back pains all healed I saw my family physician for what I thought was just a sprained ankle.

Then I thought it was a pulled tendon, and an MRI showed a stress fracture.

But a second MRI showed the stress

By Cedric Jaggers

fracture had healed and arthritis was setting in and I still had pain which had not completely disappeared, and was gradually getting worse. Finally it reached the point where I couldn't run and I was referred to a specialist.

Turns out the ligament under the tendon connecting the ankle was stretched almost to the breaking point. Which door would you take? Door number one -- surgery.

Door number two -- orthotics and Physical Therapy Rehabilitation? With no guarantee that either door will solve the

problem. I'm glad the specialist agreed with me that door number two was the better choice. He actually said “If you have surgery you will hate me for a long time.” The recovery period for surgery is months, plus it is a painful operation. Not good.

But if door number two doesn't work, then surgery is the last and only resort left. So I wanna go to rehab. Have you ever been? I had not except as an observer when my wife Kathy had to go for a shoulder problem.

The therapist begins slowly (thank you Mike) and explains that you (in this case me) need to strengthen the damaged area.

We talked about the pain level - graded from 1 to 10, and my level was a constant 2, going up to 3 if I walked more than a mile with Kathy, and jumping quickly to 6, 7, 8, if I tried to run. He said that when pain set in, that I was doing damage, and debunked the old 'No gain without pain' mantra that we hear so often. He explained that pushing though pain does-

n't allow the damage to heal. His goal for me was to work the area and rebuild the strength and flexibility so that I can run again.

Is it fun to do the exercises, stretches, pulls with a rubber tube etc. every day, morning and night? No. Is it easy? No. Progress is slow and steady and my pain level has dropped and there have even been times when I felt no pain. It would be much easier to quit going to rehab and doing all the stuff, but if you do, you have no real possibility of gaining the strength needed to recover.

Let's hope you never have the need to go to rehab. But if you do, I hope you will learn to want to do what it takes to get better. I believe you have to want to go to rehab and do what they say to make it successful in solving the problem. I know I want to run again and I really hope rehab will enable me to do so. Here's hoping we see each other running down the road sometime this year.

Instant Classic Half Marathon

Ultra Running

By Tonya Lambert Kropp

How Much Training Are You Doing?

Someone commented recently that they had been reading running blogs and Facebook posts written by ultra-runners. They expressed surprise at “how little” training many of these runners do. Fifty miles a week seems to be the norm I was told. I have heard this through the years and to some extent it has always been true. Now with social media being what it is, everyone shares their training schedule, and everyone is more aware of what others are doing.

My comment was, “Sure, but they are not having great performances either. Ask Harvey Lewis or Zach Bitter how many miles a week they run.” The elites have always run more miles. Sometimes it is the big mileage that allows them to be elite, other times it is the elite status that allows them to run big mileage. Looking at results it is often hard to tell the difference.

I have always been a big mileage runner. I was never elite, but I'd like to think I bumped my head on the bottom of that status a few times as a result of the training I did. Recent years have seen a large drop off in training mileage and a corresponding drop in performances. (I am sure age has some detrimental effect on performance as well.) Still, an increase, especially when intelligently applied will almost always lead to improved performances.

Sometimes it is hard to train enough, or even as much as a runner would like. Family obligations, work demands, sometimes even traveling to and from places demanded by work and family eats up huge chunks of time.

I know this is frustrating for many runners as it has been for me.

I am lucky in that I can wake up early and go for a run. I have no pressing morning obligations. Someone with a family is not as fortunate. I am also lucky in that I teach and then coach after school. I can run with the team. I know those with a 5 o'clock quitting time and a commute home face more obstacles.

There is a famous quote, "No one who works a 40-hour week will ever beat me." Bill Rodgers. He was pointing out time demands in addition to the dedication required to train at top levels. Of course Bill Rogers also said this: "The most difficult part, when you decide to make running a part of your life style, is the basic initial commitment.

Everybody says, 'I don't have the time.' It's up to you to say, 'I do have the time.' For me, beginning to run when I was a student was an ideal situation. However, I've also trained as much as 130 miles per week during periods when I worked a full-time job. It ultimately becomes second nature. It becomes a habit, a routine part of your daily life."

Contradiction? Not really, just a description of two different situations he experienced. It

can be done one way. It certainly is more doable the other.

Dr. Timothy Noakes once cited research that said there were no significant improvements in endurance in runners who trained more than 70 miles/week -- not even in runners who were training up to 230 miles/week. I respect Dr. Nokes, and certainly scientific researchers, but I'd like to see replication. I'd like to see different questions asked. I have observed the sport for almost 40 years now and my observations differ. My personal experience certainly does.

Perhaps I am not the only one who has personal disagreements with that conclusion.

"Because that's all I have time for." - Stu Mittleman, on why he runs 20 miles a day.

"Being able to just focus on training and getting ready for the next run has made the difference and allowed me to make the jump I did," Cox says. "There's no way I could run 170 miles a week with a job." - 2:13 marathoner Josh Cox "The prevailing training philosophy in 1977 was 'more is better', and weekly mileage was the stuff of competition. If Derek Clayton was quoted as running 160 miles per week, then someone else would try 175 miles per week.

This approach to training may sound harsh -and it was -- but it reaped rewards. Distance running in the U.S. improved markedly, and although there were a few casualties along the way, pure hard work generally paid dividends."

- Pete Pfitzinger, two-time Olympian and exercise physiologist I point out I began my serious training and racing in 1978. I read Bowerman, Lydiard, and the people who were successful in running or coaching at that time. " We ran twice a day, sometimes three times.

Twenty miles a day, sometimes more. There were a couple of 170-mile weeks. All we did was run -- run, eat, and sleep." - Frank Shorter detailing his training with Jack Bacheler and Jeff Galloway prior to the 1972 Olympics (Frank won the gold medal in the marathon) Training is hard. Finding time to train often adds to the difficulty. I leave you with a final thought.

"Somewhere in the world, someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win." - Tom Fleming

The Instant Classic Half Marathon 2014 was my sixth half and my nintth half or longer race, so I figured that I knew what to expect. However, I am sure most runners know that a lot of surprises can happen over 13+ miles, and this race was certainly no exception for me.

The trails on this race were tough compared to the other races of this distance that I had run, so I was in no way expecting a PR. On the other hand, I had been training a lot and still figured I had a shot if the stars lined up just right.

After the first couple of miles I was right on track for a PR so I thought this might be my day! Then at around 3 1/3 miles I went down pretty hard. Maybe my toe caught a root or stump that was covered by leaves. Or maybe I tripped on a line someone had drawn with a stick because THAT is how clumsy I am.

I continued a slow, steady jog to shake out the soreness and stiffness in my knees from landing on them until about mile 4 to 4 1/2 when I saw the lady who had been right in front of me for most of the race fall and twist her ankle. I stopped to help her and make sure she was okay, and luckily she was.

By this time I figured my time was pretty much shot so I decided just to enjoy the rest of my race without worrying too much about my pace. Maria, the lady who had twisted her ankle, and I stayed together most of the remainder of the race. We talked quite a bit.

She was really pleasant to talk to and it helped the miles go by just a little bit faster to have a partner .

At one point the trail markings spaced out quite a bit and nobody else was around so I was terrified that I had missed a sign and was running the wrong way and taking Maria with me. I was very relieved when I saw the next sign and it was close to my Garmin watch mileage so I knew we were still on track.

Around mile 10, my Garmin watch died. For the last 3 miles I just had to rely on the course mile mark-

ers and the time on my cell phone to estimate my pace. This was a race full of technology fails since I had also charged up my iPod and added new songs, then realized upon arrival at the race that I had left my headphones at home.

One mile from the finish line, I heard a creaking noise that sounded like a tree falling down. I looked to my right and saw a tree that was leaning but stopped by another Y-shaped tree. I then started thinking that if a tree fell during the race, it would probably fall right on my head. I could see the newspaper headlines, "Runner struck by tree a mile from the finish line of half marathon." The article would tell the story of how I demanded that EMTs push the stretcher across the finish line so that my timing chip would register and it would not be counted a DNF. Maybe I was just a little delirious after running 12 miles in the woods.

When the finish line came into view, I heard lots of cheers and thought they were for me for a split second, before the winner of the marathon flew past me.

He finished right before me and I realized most of the applause was actually for him. By that time I was so ready to stop running that I didn't care, though.

After collecting my finisher's medal and grabbing a water and veggie burger, I collapsed on the ground to rest and stretch. I was very pleased to get to watch Maria cross the finish line with her friends cheering her on. Despite her ankle pain she was able to finish and I was very proud of her determination.

Despite posting one of my slowest half marathon times, this race was a great, positive experience for me and I will be back. I may even attempt the full marathon next year. Even though I ended up with scraped up, bruised knees and 2 days of soreness, I would do it all over again. Because as you all know, we runners are crazy like that.

He Said, She Said Do April Showers Bring May Power?

As you button up this year's first full-month of spring, and recount your recently dissolved days of April, you can likely recall more than the bright rays of delightful springtime sunshine - you can probably remember getting a little wet! Rightfully renowned for the rains of which the recognized rhyme reminds us, the month of April dependably endows us with early springtime showers, indeed.

Whether you are a novice runner or a countless mile-accumulating master, if you logged any amount of miles outdoors last month, a safe bet says you could be seen running (if not singing) in the rain. But was there any benefit?

We know that “April showers bring May flowers," but in addition to helping surround our runs with perfumed petals aplenty, do you think that April showers could also bring May power to your runs?

By Mary Marcia Brown

“As of last fall I have run 106 road marathons and about 40 trail ultras, the longest being a 100K near Charlottesville, VA,” Nissen recounted.

“Running Boston twice was a big thrill but bigger still was running NYC with two of my Baltimore running buddies. A total high!”

It was a high much different than the type of He (Phil Nissen) Said… high he had often experienced before participating in his first road race - a 10K in D.C. that “Probably not,” 69-year old ultra marathon- left Nissen and a buddy “well lit with free beer er, Phil Nissen said. “It can be lots of fun -- after the event.” bearing in mind the possible side effect of slipBut Nissen happily traded in the highs he pery surfaces such as the northside mountain experienced as a result of “free beer” with the bike trails in Caloosahatchee Regional Park.” natural highs he experienced in his running Part of the Lee County Florida system, the shoes in 1984 when he quit using all drugs and park is one of Nissen's preferred regular run- alcohol with the help of a recovery program. ning spots where he has logged many of his “My training became more serious and my typical 25 to 30 weekly miles since retiring to times improved.

[That's when] Boston qualifying also became part of the goal and, eventually, a PR of 3:03 got me in,” Nissen said.

Monsoons may not have accompanied every training mile along the journey to more than 145 marathon and ultra marathon accomplishments, but Nissen certainly saw some storms and ran in some rain.

“It's just fun until the lightning starts, then it is prudent to seek shelter,” Nissen wisely advised.

Perhaps the run itself has been Nissen's shelter from life's storms. Maybe the miles have provided a safe haven from the rains of toxic “remedies”. And while Nissen may not believe that April showers will bring May power to his runs, there is little doubt that simply Phil Nissen at a trail run just east of Lake running (whether wet or Okachobee. dry) will shower Nissen with the power to render “While I have become accustomed to the himself stronger with every sand, pines, palmettos and palm trees of SW stride.

www.running.net ity that briskly brimmed with an abundance of month-long showers that make May seem like the drying light of hope after a saturating storm of torment.

When by rote we thoughtlessly recite “April showers bring May flowers,” we may only consider the obvious surface-level meaning of the sing-song rhyme. Our thoughts may move us towards images of umbrella-shielded rain showers and sun-supported buds that burst into beautifully fragrant blooms. Yet when we delve a little deeper, we can easily see how the verse could refer to a variety of things including busyness turned rest, challenges turned triumphs, or confusion resulting in realization.

When I paused to contemplate whether or not April showers may result in May power, a resounding “absolutely” escaped my mouth immediately - regardless of whether the “showers” inferred were figurative or literal.

Figuratively speaking, if we will stay with the rain through the most trying time of life's storms, we will often find sunshine, a rainbow, and yes, even flowers on the other side. When we work through the rains that seem almost too heavy to bear, we often feel much more powerful afterwards for having endured. But we must endure to reap the post-rain rewards.

Sadly, as Edison reminds us, “Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”

I was recently reminded of how applicable this is with our sport during a literal shower that surprised me on an 8.5-mile run. It was a picturesque day for a run. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and there was a light breeze that carried the distinct smell of freshly cut grass under my nose. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply as I centered and walked down to the lake to begin my day's run. I could feel the sun on my face, my shoulders, my chest, and the top of my back. It warmed my skin and readied my muscles for the run ahead.

An easy start found me a mere mile into my run when the sun was replaced by an angry black cloud, the singing birds fell silent into an undetectable place in the early day's darkness, and the light breeze morphed into an immod-

erate gale-like gust that whisked away the scent of grass and offered the unmistakable trace of, “uh oh ...this is going to be an unforgiving Florida downpour” in its place.

I had barely detected all of the quick clues before the torrent ensued. It was as though a mini airplane was hovering 10-feet above my head, dumping tubs full of water over me for five miles. Each time I inhaled, I truly felt like I was drowning as I must have breathed in a tablespoon of water with every breath. My pink shirt was saturated in seconds and it clung to my body like non-generic plastic wrap sticks to itself when you want it to stick anywhere else. My pink running shorts followed suit and looked like a partial parachute that had experienced an unlucky landing. My shoes transformed into waterbed mattresses and Macklemore on my MP3 player morphed into Max Headroom. Needless to say, it was not the run I had imagined.

Nonetheless, I stayed with it and by mile six, the rains subsided and sunshine returned.

For the next 2.5 miles, I felt certain that Aquaman and Wonderwoman had rendezvoused, and I was the resulting love child.

My pace was faster, my legs were stronger, and indeed, I did feel more powerful.

Whether or not April showers actually do result in May power for your runs may be a question still out with the jury. Running with more resistance and more carefully planted landings with every stride may demand the use of different muscles and make others stronger.

It may make you a more powerful runner physically, or it may make you mentally perceive yourself as more powerful. Either way, if Gene Kelly could sing in the rain, even put on his tap shoes and dance in the rain, then certainly, we runners can endure some miles sprinkled with showers and run into the month of May with newfound power.

Women’s Running Shalane Flanagan Takes 15K American Record in Route to Boston As I started to write this month's column I must admit that I am so very blessed to have started running 36 years ago. I have met so many wonderful people along the way that I sometimes forget what unique adventures running has given me. I am fortunate to know many of the best runners in the world. I have witnessed the Olympic marathon trials since 1992, seen my chosen daughter Colleen DeReuck win the 2004 trials at age 39, watched both Kara Goucher and Shalane Flanagan make their marathon debuts and then make the 2012 Olympic marathon team, seen Desi Davilia Linden nearly win Boston and also make the Olympic 2012 team, been there when Uta Pippig won Boston three times, seen Paula Radcliffe win the NYC Marathon several times and watched the women's race in NYC for more than 10 years from the press truck. I have witnessed Deena Kastor set numerous records and have met the Boston women's winner at the finish quite a few times in the 90s. I have so many great memories and fast friends that I tend to forget that most ordinary runners like myself never get these amazing opportunities. And these are just a few of my female friends. I have equally as many moments with male stars of our sport.

This train of thought has led me to this month's column. I volunteer every year at the GATE River Run 15K national championship with the best elite recruiter in the business, Richard Fannin. Fannin has a passion for running that is unmatched by any other elite athlete recruiter I know. He brings in the best in the sport with no appearance money to race for the national title. This year he again outdid himself by attracting not only former champions but also snagging Shalane Flanagan and Chris Derrick. He was overjoyed to meet Flanagan and give her the royal treatment. I am in charge of elite hospitality and try to meet the needs of every one of our 120 elites so they can have the best race possible.

I first met Flanagan at the 2007 US Cross Country Championship race in Boulder,CO. Kastor won the race and Flanagan was second with Gourcher third. I was volunteering and was assigned to be her escort for drug testing so I got to spend some time with her and her husband. She was very muddy and cold after battling Kastor at altitude but I knew I would be seeing a great deal of her in the future.

One of my side jobs at GATE is to lead the elite women to the start, gather their belongings,ride in the golf cart that leads the women's race and greet the female (and male winners).

Kevin Ullman is my yearly companion as we share the back of the cart while he records the race and I do splits. You can watch both of the races at www.usatf.tv. This year we had four

I have seen records broken but have truly never witnessed a performance like the one Flanagan put on this perfect racing morning.

It was to be her only race before she attempts to become the first woman since Lisa Weidenbach Rainsberger to win the Boston Marathon. She signed autographs at the Expo and played with the children at the Sanctuary the day before the race. The children loved her blonde hair.

Race morning she arrived at the staging area and went through her pre-race preparations.

She was joking with her coach, Jerry Schumacher as we walked to the start. The women lined up, the gun went off and Flanagan went directly to the front with Bawcom trailing and the pack slowly dropping back. She had a sizable lead within a half mile and hit the mile mark in 4:52 (the men hit it in

She did not raise her hands in victory but ran through the tape and as I approached her she asked "Did I get it? Did I get it?" She never even saw the clock. Neither did men's winner Ben True which says a lot about the focus and concentration powers of top runners.

I cannot even imagine what it is like to be so totally focused. Flanagan said later she was monitoring her body and felt relaxed and in control. She had no idea what her splits were but she thought she was close to record pace.

She shattered Kastor's American record of 47:15 by 15 seconds. She was barely breathing hard, took a few sips of water and as I draped the American flag around her shoulders, she posed for the photographers with a stunningly bright smile. Yes she did it and in stellar fashion besting her competition by 2 minutes and 21 seconds! She had several television interviews and was smiling all the while.

Flanagan and I walked back to the staging area with her coach. She accepted congratulations form her competitors then went for a cool down. At the awards ceremony she was gracious and she let her fans take pictures with her for about 15 minutes. Later in the day she came down to the hospitality suite to visit and we got to chat for awhile. She is being extremely conscientious about her diet and refused any of the munchies in the suite.

However she did relent a bit to celebrate with a bowl of ice cream at the race director's dinner party. She was relaxed and enjoying the party looking more like a model rather than a runner.

Learning from the Young Guns The Run Down on the Long Run My junior year in college our cross country team had a breakthrough season. Reflecting back years later I attribute it to a variety of factors, but there are two in particular that standout: we started running more, and our long runs became a bigger priority. Last month I discussed the basics of building a base, addressed the importance of aerobic volume in starting a training plan, and the benefits of running a bit more. This month I'd like to delve a little bit deeper into the topic of aerobic development and discuss the importance and execution of the long run. The long run serves a number of purposes, depending on what event you are preparing for, but it should be a staple of any distance runner's training program.

When starting a training program the goal is to build aerobic fitness, the primary purpose of the long run. The long, uninterrupted bout of exercise increases capillary density, improves your ability to transport oxygen efficiently to the muscles, and builds strength in the tendons and musculature. In beginning a program, when workouts should essentially be non-existent, the long run provides the best aerobic stimulus of the week. The long run also requires more recovery and should not be undertaken more than once a week. However, I strongly recommend including a “medium long run� in the middle of the week that is 15-20 percent of your weekly volume. The medium long run provides similar aerobic benefits without taking as big of a toll on your body. It also incorporates variance into your weekly routine, which, for many people who are used to running the same route and distance every day, provides an important change in stimulus.

If the medium long run should be 1520 percent of your weekly volume, what percentage should the long run make up? This answer requires significant qualification as the duration of your long run will vary depending on your weekly volume and what event you are preparing for. The long run should be a minimum of 20-25 percent of your weekly volume, but could be as much as 45-55 percent of your weekly volume if you are running a 20+ mile long run in preparation for a marathon.

By Ryan Warrenburg, ZAP Fitness

Many people train for a marathon on 40-50 miles a week, and if you are limiting your long run to 25 percent of your weekly volume you will be grossly under prepared for the marathon distance. As you get closer to your key race the emphasis of the long run may change. In the final 8-10 weeks of training before a key race, the specific phase, your priority should reflect what you are preparing for. In the case of the marathon the long run will remain the most important run of the week as it is the most specific to your race. If you are preparing for a 5kK your most important workouts will be your 5K specific workouts.

Long run execution is a critical aspect to getting the most out of your long run, as well as not shuddering at the idea of a long run, which you may be doing right now. Most people start their long run far too fast. When I describe the idea of negative splitting a long run or a long race I inevitably hear, “it doesn't matter how slow I start I'll die at the end anyways.� People who say this start their runs too fast; it's like Elizabeth Taylor giving marriage counseling. You should start your long run up to two minutes per mile slower than your marathon pace and work your way through the run where you finish the final miles near marathon pace. I promise you will feel better throughout the run if you do this. More than likely you'll end up finishing the run faster overall as well. One of the secret components to the long run I learned from the former author of this column, ZAP Fitness head coach Pete Rea (who in all fairness got it from the great Bill Squires) is incorporating pickups in the long run. Pickups can range from 1 minute in length to several minutes and

should be done in the latter stages of a long run.

For instance, I might prescribe someone to do alternating 1 minute and 2 minute pickups over the last hour of their long run with 5 minutes of running between each at the pace they were running before they started the pickups.

The pace of the pickups isn't important, but you should be able to resume your normal long run pace immediately, if you have to slow down to recover you're doing them too fast. For most people, I suggest starting at marathon effort and moving forward throughout the sequence. The pickups serve two critical purposes. From a physiological perspective, the pickups recruit fast twitch muscles late in the run when your slow twitch fibers are fatigued.

This strengthens the fast twitch fibers and helps improve leg speed, particularly improving ability to finish fast at the end of a race when you're tired.

Additionally, the pickups provide great psychological training as they force you to break up the run. Including pickups will make the last hour of the run go by faster because you are only focused on 1-2 minutes at a time. There is great application here for racing. If you can translate that idea to a race and focus on 1-2 minutes at a time the race goes by faster, and you'll run much stronger over the final stages.

Prioritizing your long run and improving the execution will boost your performances in every event from mile to the marathon!

Masters Running A Marathon to Remember “Are we there yet?”

This is what I was thinking as I was traveling by bus through the California wine country, in the pre-dawn hours of Sunday, March 2.

We were on our way to the start of the Napa Valley Marathon, my first attempt on the 26.2 mile distance in 10 years. After being on the road for 40 minutes, we still hadn't reached our destination. And I was expected to run the whole way back to Napa! I knew that 26.2 miles is a long way to run, but didn't imagine it would be this far!

At the crack of dawn we finally pulled into the resort town of Saratoga, where the starting line was located. Focused on the task at hand I didn't notice much of the town, except for the potty line. But someone took a picture of me right before the start. Later on I discovered that it showcased a beautiful landscape, with grape vines blanketed in morning fog, and mountains in the background.

So, the day had finally arrived. The day I had prepared for since mid-November, and written about here. The day I had thought I would never experience again, after “retiring” from marathoning in 2004. But here I was, back in my old element! The weather was perfect for running, with overcast and about 50 degrees. I felt in good spirits and ready to go.

Or at least as ready as I could be to spend over four hours, maybe close to five, on foot.

My training had been going well. I had a couple of 18 milers and one 20-mile run behind me. Now I would run six miles beyond that, but in the company of almost 3,000 fellow runners. Among them two fellow RRCA Board members, and the RRCA Executive Director Jean Knaack. Plus Coastal California RRCA State Rep George Rehmet, who would be running his 100th marathon on this day!

I usually don't carry anything when I race.

Instead I rely on water stops along the course.

But today I had decided to toe the line with some luggage: Two small water flasks, two gel packs, and half a banana, all stored in a belt around my waist or in pockets on my shorts. I had noticed that several other runners were carrying similar paraphernalia.

Somehow I assumed these runners belonged to the back of the pack, and as a “comeback newbie” I identified myself with this group and felt a need to emulate their behavior.

I never want to start at the back of the pack though! The race was not large enough for us to start in assigned corrals, so I lined up fairly close to the front. After they sent us off at 7 a.m. sharp, I tried to hold back since I knew I had a long, long way to run this morning.

But I was pulled along by the pack. Enjoying the scenery and feeling great, I passed the

By Lena Hollmann RRCA Southern Director

one-mile mark in 9:17. Ooops, that was more than one minute faster than my target pace!

So I slowed down and ran the next several miles at about a 10-minute pace. People were passing me in droves, and I remember thinking that if they kept on passing me like this, I

dreams did I imagine there were so many wineries in Northern California! They lined the road for practically the entire 26 miles, some of them offering specials for runners the same afternoon.

After passing 20 miles in 3:28 I could feel the distance in my legs. And the intermittent drizzle had now become a steady light rain. I still felt surprisingly good though, and was hoping for a finish time in the low 4:30's. But at 23 miles my right hip started to tighten up, forcing me to realize how unpredictable the marathon can be. Would I now have to slow down to a walk, and get a slower finish time?

Luckily the hip loosened up and I kept running.

And it kept raining. But it didn't bother me, since I knew I was almost there. On the final miles there were a few turns -- and then I saw

Lena Hollmann pre-run in Napa Valley, CA

would eventually have nobody behind me.

I kept charging on. The course was indeed as beautiful as I had been told. It was impossible to get bored while running on a winding road in a rural landscape, surrounded by vineyards covered in morning fog, quaint little cottages, and pastures with grazing cattle.

When I passed the halfway point in just over 2:13 my pace had slowed somewhat, but I was still feeling great. And I realized that if I were Paula Radcliffe during her world record run in the full marathon, I would have been on the homestretch now!

During the next few miles the going got tougher. It had started to drizzle now, on and off. But it helped that the road was flat and the scenery still beautiful. I passed one winery after another -- never in my wildest

the finish line! I crossed it in 4:34:52, my slowest time ever in the marathon, but still faster than I had hoped for. What mattered was that I finished! I had set my mind on completing a challenging task, and had proved to myself and the world that it could be done.

I was a happy camper as I got a post-race massage, enjoyed some snacks, and watched the awards ceremony. I didn't collect any hardware this time, but the male and female overall winners received their weight in wine!

Even though they were both very light, they collected several cases.

The Napa Marathon is a race I highly recommend. It should be on every marathoner's bucket list. The scenery is gorgeous the whole way, especially during the first 20 miles. The

race has a cap of about 3,000 runners, so it is not one of those mega races that can turn into logistical nightmares. However it is still big enough that you have company the whole way, at least if you run my pace. There's great support and encouragement along the course.

You get a nice souvenir race bag. And if you are fast enough to collect an overall or agegroup award, they will engrave it and mail it to you.

Even though I was very happy with my finish time, my age-graded score was not nearly as high here as in shorter distances. One age grading calculator gave me a 63.7 percent score for my marathon performance, which it considered equivalent to running a 10K in about one hour for a female of my age. But my best recent time in the 10K is much faster than that! Last fall I ran a 50:44, which according to the same calculator is worth a score of 75.8 percent. This makes me wonder who is off -- is it me or the table? Am I really that much slower in the marathon, or is the table too “stingy” when it calculates marathon scores?

Also noteworthy was that I ran the whole way, with none of those walking breaks that I had gotten used to during training. Except for a pit stop at 20 miles, I didn't stop at all. Early in the race I was thinking I would do my oneminute walking breaks during the second half. But I felt “in the grove” and just kept running.

Will I run another marathon? Not anytime soon, but I have learned to never say never.

The hardest part during this experience was not the race itself, but the training. Especially mentally and logistically. Every two weeks I had to set aside three hours or more for my long run, plus time to recover afterwards. I had to come up with some creative things, such as running on different courses and taking walking breaks to overcome boredom during those long training runs. And I was fortunate to live here in North Carolina and not further north, where weather presented some serious challenges this past winter.

But getting the chance to run the Napa Valley Marathon was definitely worth all these challenges. It was an experience that I will fondly remember for the rest of my life.

And if I get another opportunity to run Napa, I would do it in a heartbeat!

#BETTERYOURBEST

A popular slogan you see on t-shirts at race expos or other running retailers says, “Will Run for Beer.” Many runners I know use the miles they run to burn off the calories from the beers they drink. It seems that running and beer, for some folks, just go together.

Pub runs are becoming very popular and are sprouting up all over the country.

I often see posts on Facebook from running friends in other states attending these events sponsored by local pubs or their local running store.

Here in Lakeland, our local specialty running store, FITniche, sponsors two of these weekly pub runs and they have become a centerpiece of our local running community. Groups meet on Tuesday nights at The Red Door Wine Market, and Thursday nights at The Chop Shop, to enjoy the camaraderie of their running brethren, and food and drink specials after the run as well.

By Bryan Graydon President, Lakeland Runners Club

“I started the first pub run at The Red Door back in 2010,“ said Rich Wills, owner of FITniche. “I'd heard about several other running stores in other states that held weekly pub runs and I thought it would be a great way for us to build some additional community around the store.

Plus I thought it would be fun for me.”

The turnout that first night was around 20 runners, but word quickly spread and the crowds began to grow to where now the

Tuesday night runs average around 100 runners per week. Seeing the success of these runs in Lakeland, FITniche started up a pub run at its Wesley Chapel location on the north side of Tampa in conjunction with its local beer bar, The Brass Tap. “Our first run was August 2010 and it was a torrential downpour. Two people showed up,” said Brian Brink, General Manager of the FITniche Wiregrass store.

“The next week we had 25 and we have topped out at over 200 people, but on average we have around 80-100 runners.”

The runners who attend each week come out for various reasons. Some come for the post-run drink specials and some come to earn the free shirt on their tenth time out, but most seem to agree that the social aspect of this type of run is a big draw.

“I meet up with my running buddies a little early to run one loop and then we do another with the group,” notes Kimberly Roberts of Lakeland. “I love the friends, fellowship, food and fun of getting to see everyone each week. We have such an awesome running community.”

“Running is a very lonely sport at times, and to have people motivate you and cheer you through the run is something that keeps them coming back,” said Brink. “It's amazing to see how many groups of people within our pub run go out and run together on the weekends when they never knew each other before they joined our group.”

Rich Wills feels the atmosphere of these runs is what helps to bring the crowds and keep them coming back. “I'd say that runners are a pretty friendly and nice crowd in general. Throw in a great venue to relax and toss back a couple of drinks afterwards, and it instantly becomes something people look forward to.

That helps to make the events nonthreatening to new runners as well.”

While these runs bring in business to the bars and pubs hosting them, Wills feels FITniche benefits in ways other than just direct sales.

“Anytime we can add something to the running community, we get a return. It may or may not show on the bottom line right away, but it helps make us just a little more essential to the community and it helps us further build real relationships with our customers. Those two things are critical to our existence as a business.”

While my running days may be over, my best beer drinking days may still lie ahead, so I will see you at the finish line to hoist a cold and frosty one.

Running Fitness A New Plant-Based Book Comes to Life My third baby, "Paleo Vegan-Plant-based Primal Recipes" is born. It's been in the top 30 "Hot New Releases" in Amazon's cookbook category - all cookbooks, not just vegetarian or vegan.

It's topping Amazon's bestsellers not only in the vegan and vegetarian categories, but in the paleo category as well. "Veg News," the largest US vegan magazine, included "Paleo Vegan" in its "Top 15 Most Intriguing Books of 2014." Fox TV stations in Tampa and Orlando ran a story about my vegan running six hours after an examiner.com story on the book. "Paleo Vegan" has been in the top 1000 books on Amazon and in the top 3 vegan and vegetarian books.

I got the idea to write the book two years ago after a book signing at Orlando's Earth Day. I went to a restaurant and while ordering vegan, the waitress said, "I used to be vegan, but now I'm paleo. I lost so much weight." Friends with me go, "What's paleo?" Being a certified personal trainer and running coach, as well as a competitive runner, I knew bridge-building was in order. Running friends talked about how paleo was recommended in Cross-Fit gyms. I read the popular paleo books. Many read like high-protein diets I had tried.

The pre-cursor to the Atkins diet, were the Stillman diets.

Then the Zone, then South Beach. High protein diets can work for short-term weight loss, but often at the expense of the heart, kidneys and other organs. I saw my cholesterol rise to 203 on Atkins, then sink and stay at 140 on a low-fat vegan diet. Results were typical in my circles.

Atkins eventually morphed into healthier choices, as more followers abandoned bacon, eggs and steaks recognizing that whole plant foods best maintained optimal health. Many paleo books allow for cheats because they recognize we need carbs.

Endurance athlete authors like ultra-runner Scott Jurek and body builder Robert Cheeke have blown the cover off the vegan myths, "You can't get enough protein ... or whatever." As so many of us out there on the fitness circuit have shown, you absolutely can. The more I hear people at races tell me you can't, as I'm standing there holding my now 67th 5K or longer age group award, the more I want to race to prove you can do it all "just" on plants. Research shows that the healthiest cultures get abundant protein and energy with plants.

I'm 7th in the US in the W60-64, 10th in the 400 meters. Unlike most colleagues at the National Senior Games, I don't train fulltime or hire coaches from university teams. I'm a weekend warrior writing constantly when not training clients. I'm more of a sprinter than an endurance runner. It is rare for anyone with my sprint times to have ever finished a marathon. I've done two full and six half marathons, placed in one. I credit it to staying injury free from a healing, low-inflammatory plant-based diet.

I wondered if I could combine paleo and vegan so that vegans could combine the best of both worlds. A vegan diet doesn't always guarantee optimal health. Fried, processed foods can be vegan but unhealthy. The more paleo

By Ellen Jaffe Jones

books I read, the more I found variations. Some said dairy was taboo. Others encouraged ghee, lard or tallow as "healthy." As ridiculous as I thought that was, more fitness friends embraced the concepts. So "Paleo Vegan" includes healthier plant fats, if readers want to include that.

Given that we were more gatherers than hunters, the odds of finding wild game and catching it on hunting trips weren't great.

Women back home tending the families were foraging for ferns, seeds, nuts and berries. Fossil records show mainly animals, few ferns. No Instagram in the Paleolithic era. Time for vegans to reclaim the paleo title.

I asked a forensic anatomy professor, "Have we evolved to eat meat or plants?" "Both," he answered. "But what should we be doing for our current times? I'm vegetarian." He'll be vegan soon. If you watch nature programs, the incredible speed at which glaciers are melting will make us all vegan in 30-100 years. Hope you enjoy vegan recipes. Gotta run!

Record Setting Day at Gate River Run 15K

By CAROLYN MATHER JACKSONVILLE , FL- A beautiful day dawned in Jacksonville, FL, on March 15 for the running of the 37th annual Gate River Run. The Gate River Run is the largest 15K race in the United States and again hosted the USA 15K Championship with America’s top athletes competing for $85,000 in prize money. Over 22,000 runners and walkers participated in one of the featured events which include the 15K, The Florida Times-Union 5K for Charity, the Junior River Run, and the Brooks Rehabilitation Challenge Mile. The official entrant count for the 15K was 17,727 making it the second largest field in the event’s history with only the 18,462 in the 2012 field being larger.

The only glitch in the day was the delay at the start of six minutes due to an accident on northbound I-95 which kept many runners from getting to the start in a timely manner. According to race director Doug Alred: “Everything seemed to go really well. We probably had the best start we’ve ever had. It was organized, and a lot of people were in the right places.It was a great day for the River run.”

The course was altered a bit this year due to construction in the end zone areas of EverBank field. Runners ran a block less downtown but had to go a bit further after they came off the “Green Monster” Hart Bridge. It made the last stretch a bit longer after the downhill.

The elite women began the race six minutes and 18 seconds ahead of the rest of the men to see who would get to the finish line first and claim the $5000 equalizer bonus. Two-time Olympian Shalane Flanagan was in town to compete with the star studded field including Olympians Janet Bawcom , Jen Rhines and Amy Hastings. National cross country champion Amy Van Alstine was Shalane Flanagan also in the field with a number of other fast women.

Flanagan had never competed at the 15K distance and she left no doubt that she is ready for the Boston Marathon as she quickly took the lead covering the first mile in 4:52. Bawcom tried to stay with her but soon disappeared from sight as did the rest of the pack.

Flanagan lengthened the lead with every mile crossing the finish line in 47:00, destroying Deena Drossin Kastor’s American record of 47:15. “Deena Kastor is a true role model for us. I kept her in mind, and I was almost racing in her spirit today.” Flanagan said her record run also served as a perfect prelude to her next race, the Boston Marathon on April 21.

Flanagan finished 2:21 ahead of 2012 and 2013 Gate winner Bawcom who set a personal best of 49:24. Bawcom had perhaps the hardest race as she left the pack at the start to stay with Flanagan but was never able to stay near her. She ended up running the entire race all by herself with no lead vehicles or anyone to keep her company. If she had been the female leader, the equalizer would have been truly exciting as men’s winner, Ben True only passed Bawcom in the last few meters.

Flanagan had a magical morning as she took home $25,000. She earned $12,000 for winning the race, the $5,000 equalizer bonus given to the top overall finisher, a $5,000 bonus for setting the national record, and $3,000 for breaking the course record. “You kind of have these rare opportunities when everything comes together. You’ve got to seize the moment and take advantage of it,” she said. “Today I wasn’t going to allow myself to make any excuses to slow down.”

The men’s race was a different story as defending champion Ben True was returning to defend his title not sure of how completely recovered he was after a Benjamin True hamstring issue in the fall and early winter.

He had been training by himself and was unsure of his racing fitness. Chris Derrick was coming off a national title at cross-country. The pack went out at 4:45 pace for the first two miles and passed 5K in 14:42. Derrick began working his way to the front with True,Tim Ritchie, and Tyler Pennel in tow. By mile seven there were three and then Ritchie dropped back climbing the Hart Bridge. Derrick stayed a step or two ahead of True as they crested the bridge and began the descent. True did not take the lead until after nine miles but his sub four-minute last mile took the wind out of Derrick’s sails.

“Chris was pushing the pace the entire way. We were coming down the hill and I came up even with him and I realized he wasn’t pushing the pace anymore,” True said.

“That’s when I knew, ‘All right, I can go now.’” “At that point I knew I had the win.”

True’s hamstring held up and he took his second title and his third top two finish in four years.

Derrick, 23, the national cross-country champion in 2013 and 2014, nearly made an unforgettable debut in his first road race as a professional. If you would like to see the men’s and women’s races go to www.usatf.tv and watch the riveting coverage.

True won in 43:04 and Derrick followed in 43:15. True went back to congratulate Derrick after he won and both walked with me back to the staging area chatting happily. Elite athletes always amaze me with their friendliness. The evening before the race I was looking for knives for breakfast bagels and found Derrick, his coach Jerry Schumacher and True in the empty ballroom where the elites had finished dinner.

They were having a great time chatting and sharing stories. It is awesome to see friendly competitors.

The Gate River Run never fails to live up to its hype. The entire morning and the previous two days are filled with expo, running, visits by the elites to the Sanctuary (a facility to encourage and empower Jacksonville youth and families in need by ministering to their spiritual, physical, social, and intellectual needs), and a fantastic post race party that goes on for hours. Doug Alred has been the race director for 32 years and his experience makes this race one you should not miss. There is an event for everyone. Put March 12 on your calendar for 2015!

South Carolina 24 hour Race Florence, SC – 3/15-16 The race was billed as a “Last Chance” to qualify for the U.S. National Team for the World Championships, originally scheduled to be contested in June. Even though the June race was canceled, organizers were said to be working on another race in December. Since USATF said the window for qualifying would still close on March 23, the race on the Wilson High School track in Florence was indeed a last chance to make the team.

The race was hosted by the Wilson High School Cross Country Team and USATF club, The Florence Track Club. The race was “Old School” with each lap counted for each runner by members of the cross country and track teams, their parents, alumni of the teams, and students form the general school population.

For a man to qualify he would need to run beyond 151 miles, and more than anyone else in the race . If two were to qualify they would both need to run beyond 152 miles.

Females needed to run 120 miles.

Harvey Lewis of Cincinnati, OH, was the lone male qualifier with 154.590 miles. Kataline Nagy of Sarasota, FL, (133.470) and Shannon Johnstone of Cary, NC, (123.134) both met the standard for the women.
