Distance Memories This 1812 was No War I don't know who was more excited this morning: My five-and-a-half year old grandson or his 59-year old G-Pa. But I do know this: We both had the time of our lives. I've had the pleasure of running with Krischan pretty much since the day he learned to walk. The boy loves to run, and I couldn't be happier. Or prouder, seeing as he 'wants to run just like G-Pa.' In fact Krischan reminds me of my son/his Uncle Josh when he first started running a couple of decades ago. It's been quite a spell between generations, but after today I can honestly say it's been worth the wait. You see, this morning Krischan ran his first official race and I had the pleasure of being there with him, every hop, step and detour-to-pick-up-miscellaneous-odds- andends (baseball, pine cone, dead cicada) along the shady, hilly one-mile route near Spalding Regional Hospital in Griffin, Georgia. After a busy afternoon and evening yesterday hunting invisible space alien babies in the woods behind the house, finding a jawbone that instantly transformed us into 'scientists' (the 'fossil' was later identified by a Facebook friend as that of a deer) and baking our requisite Friday night batch of peanut butter cookies, I woke up this morning at 3:45 to get in my 10-mile run with my friend Al … while Krischan slept in until 7:30 (our race was at 9:00). Of course no five-and-a-half year old boy 'sleeps in' until 7:30; rather he was awakened early on this Saturday morning by his Yia-Yia (my wife Cindy) to get ready for his racing debut. As you can imagine it wasn't pretty, but after he put on his shorts, shirt and 'running shoes' he couldn't wait to get to the starting line. 'How much farther?' I heard more than once as we made the 30-minute drive to Griffin. When we pulled into the parking lot his eyes were as wide as the finishing medal he hoped to have draped around his neck once he crossed his first finish line. I didn't have the heart to tell him there probably wouldn't be a medal for the race (there was an accompanying 5K race - the 'big event;' the one-mile was merely the accompanying 'fun run') but if there wasn't he could choose one of mine when we got back to the house. (He's always admired my medal collection, and one day it is certain to be his.) We picked up Krischan's race packet and he instantly asked me to pin his race number to the front of his shirt. The number almost covered his entire stomach but that didn't matter to him: He was now an 'official runner.' We walked back to the car to drop off his packet and although I had asked him several times just moments earlier if he needed to use the restroom while we were near the hospital and he said 'no' every time, once we were in the parking lot - with nei-

Krischan ran his first race.

ther a rest room nor porta-pottie anywhere in site-he had to go. 'Now!' He ran to a tree, dropped his shorts to his ankles and let it fly. It was hard to believe this was the same little boy whom I implored to 'water a tree' last summer in a similar emergency situation and he absolutely refused (I ended up pounding on the door of a local restaurant in Senoia -about two hours before they were open for business and they generously allowed Krischan to use the restroom. His comment as we left: 'This restaurant must not be any good because there aren't any customers.'). All I can figure is it must have been the pressure of running his first race. I asked him as we headed to the starting line what made him so bold; he didn't have an explanation, but as we got close to the gathering of runners he asked me if we could 'stop talking about this now?' After all, it was time to get down to business. Besides, it wasn't a good idea for G-Pa's to embarrass their grandsons when they were about to compete in an athletic competition for the

first time. As we waited at the back of a pack of 100 or so runners (the 5K and the one-mile started simultaneously, but the two races took different routes) I told Krischan not to start out too fast because, after all, a mile is a really long way. Over the years Krischan has covered as many as three miles with me, but as you might imagine not all of it was running: There was always a good amount of walking, talking to neighbors and petting every dog that crossed our path. But today would be different: Today was all about running. As the Race Director was going over the instructions for the races, Krischan asked if we could hold hands while we ran. 'You know, so you can keep up with me, G-Pa.' I told him he would need to have his hands free so his arms could pump as he ran, but I would do my absolute best to keep up with him. Krischan started off exactly as I asked: Conservative pace, arms-a-pumping and cheeks turning bright red as he crested the first of several hills on one of the more challenging 'fun run' courses I've ever seen. Let me be the first to say the experience was wonderful: He smiled the entire time, slowed down only for a couple of steps because his 'stomach hurt' and even managed to squeeze in a little exploration and housekeeping along the way. Krischan waved to everyone along the course and got excited every time someone shouted him encouragement ('Do they know me, G-Pa? They must because they're cheering for me!'). We played leapfrog with several other runners for most of the race. As you probably already guessed I took my fair share of photos along the way so I could have a record of this special morning. As we neared the finish line, by my calculation we were in the middle of a pack of about 25 runners, walkers, moms, dads and one lone G-Pa. I told Krischan he should cross the finish line in front of me because I wasn't wearing a number, but he would have none of it: We would be crossing the finish line together. I think what he said was 'Catch up to me, G-Pa; I'll slow down so you can' which was his subtle way of reminding me I'm not as young as him (he thinks I'm 25, by the way). We ran the final 10 or so glorious steps together and crossed Krischan's first finish line in an official time of eighteen minutes and twelve seconds. 18:12, a time that is now part of my vernacular along with 76:36 (a 10-mile race Josh ran when he was nine years old), 3:18:15 (Cindy's first halfmarathon) and 36:14 (my 10K best). I imagine when my memory starts failing me-I'm guessing around the time I'm running my great-grandchild's first race with him or her - the time I'll still remember will be 18:12. While Krischan may not remember his finishing time, I have high hopes that he'll always remember the day he ran just like his G-Pa.

Running Through the Bluegrass How is a Wedding Like a Marathon? In August, I felt exactly like I was getting ready for a marathon. The planning. The clothing. The weather-watching. The nerves. Except I wasn't about to run a marathon. I was about to get married. Surprisingly, the two things felt exactly the same. Most of us spend 12-16 weeks preparing for a marathon. We were engaged in December and knocked out a few of the big things by mid-January. Then in May things really started to pick up. While my marathon plan usually involves a spreadsheet with workouts, long runs and week-

Tracy and Chris Green

As the date drew near, I remembered the race day mantras, "trust your training," "the hay is the barn," "you've put in the work." Like with a marathon, once we got within a few days of the wedding, anyBy thing that wasn't done just wasn't going to Tracy Green be done. We had to trust we had done everything that needed to be done and that everything would be fine. The last minute coffee and donuts idea? Nixed. It would've been like doing some 400s the ly mileage all mapped out, planning our week before the race. Probably not going wedding involved a spreadsheet with to hurt, but not going to help much, either. And, instead of picking my race day about six tabs. And a binder. Also with outfit, I was picking a bridal gown and tabs. accessories -- but with many of the same considerations: comfortable, not hot, look good. (What can I say, I don't want to be the girl on the starting line in a horrendously mismatched outfit.) I'm not sure how many of you have spent time in Kentucky in August, but readers of this magazine are mostly in the Southeastern U.S., so I suspect you know what the weather is like that time of year. Hot and muggy. "Wompy" is a word some of the weather folks use to describe it. I usually go with "miserable." If it's so miserable, why did we pick it, you ask? It's the same foolish idea of running a marathon in August -- something you should know better than to do. Searching for a venue was just like picking the perfect race. Where is it, when is it, is it convenient both geographically and on the calendar, what's the atmosphere, how big is it, how much will it cost? After a lot of searching, we fell in love with a ceremony venue -- the facade of a historic chapel, built in 1876 but burned down in 1954, leaving just the front wall and stairs. They only permit about six weddings a year, and they don't do them later in the fall when we get a lot of rain and there could be a lot of damage to the grounds. Plus, all the meticiously maintained shrubbery and other plants, cared for by the local garden club, would be bare. It was August 23 or bust. Obviously, I started watching the weather when the 10 day forecast became available. For days, it looked like sunny, humid and 98 degrees. Heat index over 100. The ceremony would be outside, but short and mostly shaded. The people who would be most miserable would be the judge (black robe), me (big dress) and Chris (suit). Our bridesmaids were wearing shorter strapless dresses; the groomsmen button-up shirts and ties but no jack-

www.running.net ets. We think those decisions make us good friends. But, just a couple of days before the wedding, the weather started to turn to rain. There was no good option for a rain plan -- you can tent a chapel facade. We'd lose getting to use the chapel, which was our favorite part. There was a lot of powerful thinking happening. Did it rain at exactly 4:55 p.m., exactly when we were supposed to start? Of course. But we adapted -- much like when your marathon is going awry and you adjust your pace so things aren't a total disaster. We had cocktails first, waited out the rain, then headed back over for the ceremony. Before the wedding, people would ask if I was nervous. I was, but like knowing you had done all the training you could, I just had to roll with it and not fret. When it rained, everyone said we handled it well -- probably from a combined total of 12 marathons and four Ironman races, we don't get flustered when things are out of our control. Oh, and one final way it was like a marathon? I wore wicking underpants by Moving Comfort. They were my "something blue."

gratitude, sense of accomplishment and sheer joy.

He Said, She Said

She (Katy Nagy) Said…

What Does It Take to Win a 12-Hour Ultramarathon? In 1965, an American television game show enticed a copious population of price-privy produce and grocery shoppers to secure their running feet in their favorite pair of 'runners,' and prepare to storm through aisle after grocery-filled aisle in a frenzied, spirited sprint to spend as much money as they could manage in a specified period of time. They rapidly ran past popsicles, peas, pastrami, and paper products as the clock calmly counted down, deliberately delivering the displayed destination of zero seconds remaining. With the race concluded, items from the contestants' overflowing carts were tallied and totaled to determine the rightful winner. In late August, under the sunshine state's beautiful bright rays, and around Lake Hollingsworth's glistening still water at Lakeland, FL, a different group of runners ran against the clock. While a couple of the course's fully stocked aid stations certainly could have passed as mini supermarkets, this race was much different than the races seen on Supermarket Sweep. Instead of running for a few minutes and sweeping up as many products as possible, runners participating in the inaugural Tick Tock Ultra ran for 12 hours and logged as many 2.84-mile laps as possible. As the twelve hours melted away to 12-1110-9-8 ….. 0 seconds, I looked out at the amazing group of runners who had each displayed an impressive running performance. Each accumulation of laps was personal and inspiring, and each was a victory. Yet there was only one female and one male who earned the overall winning titles, prize money, and right to hold the course records. I caught up with these winners shortly after the event to ask, “Ultimately, when it comes to long distance running, what does it take to win a 12-hour ultramarathon?”

the day to help better acclimate to running in the heat, and dramatically slowing his pace to prevent injury and increase his endurance during his training, also helped. His support group helped Smelser stick to his plan on race day while encouraging him, and providing him with essential nutrition and information throughout the day. Although Smelser was grateful for his entire support group, he was unapologetically partial to one member of his group -- his pit crew chief and wife, Lisa Smelser. “The anticipation of seeing my wife at the end of each loop,” Lucas said, was a large part of what he enjoyed about running at the Lake Hollingsworth venue. “We kept track of specific data on each lap like how I was feeling, perceived effort, weather conditions, energy levels, calories/electrolytes/hydration intake,” Smelser said. “I

think she knows my body better than I do.” Several local runners and triathletes stopped by to cheer for Smelser and the field of other ultramarathon runners throughout the day. A fellow employee at the local running store where Smelser works, graciously walked the last two laps with him while other of his friends and co-workers helped his wife disassemble the tent his employer donated to him for the day's event. After the twelve hours transformed to mere minutes, diminished into seconds, and halted at the 7:30 p.m. conclusion of the race, Smelser had logged 23 laps and a total of 65.32 miles. Spectators and race officials were undoubtedly impressed by Smelser's running performance. Perhaps even more impressive, however (and touching), was the positive demeanor and encouraging spirit emanating through his dependable smile at the end of each lap. “It was uplifting to me when I was able to pass along encouraging words to others,” Smelser said. “Never underestimate the power of a smile.” And there was even more than 'power' in the smile that naturally spread across Smelser's face as he stood beside his beloved wife, Lisa, at the Tick Tock Ultra finish line, embraced by the congratulatory spirit of his fellow competitors in the time-specific ultra. There was also the timeless reflection of a champion's pride,

He (Lucas Smelser) Said… “First of all, getting to the starting line healthy is a feat in itself,” male winner, Lucas Smelser said. Fortunately for Smelser, not only did he pull up to the starting line healthy and injury free, he also arrived trained, prepared, supported, and ready to realize his day's goal - “to stay moving for the full 12 hours” by starting slowly, sticking to his nutrition plan, and staying mentally strong and focused. “Having a plan that you are confident in and executing it,” Smelser said, is essential to realize an ultramarathon goal. Smelser was able to do just that by utilizing a 4-minute/1-minute run/walk interval approach that he found to work best for him as he was preparing for the Tick Tock Ultra. Logging many training miles in the middle of

“Practice, patience, will power, positive attitude and endurance,” 35-year old Katy Nagy said after logging 79.52 miles in 12 hours at the August Tick Tock Ultra. “I enjoyed the scenery, the busyness of the race, and the volunteers were very supportive,” Nagy said. “Everything was very professional and I highly recommend [the Tick Tock Ultra] to all my runner friends.” The Tick Tock Ultra was not Nagy's first ultramarathon win. Among her more-thanmarathon-distance accomplishments are: 1st overall female at the 2012 Keys 100 Fifty-mile ultra, 1st overall female at the 2013 Croom Fool 100k and 50k, 1st overall female at the 2013 Ultrbalaton in Hungary (132 miles), and 1st overall female in the 2014 24-hour race in South Carolina where she set a new American record for the 200K distance. “I like pushing my limits, I love challenges, and I can rest my mind while I'm running,” Nagy said. To help her push her limits safely during the Tick Tock Ultra, Nagy's good friends, Ildiko Lates and Emilia Zavodszki supported her throughout the day, and Menyhert Lesi ran the last few laps with her. It was not a completely new experience for her friends, as they had crewed Nagy in the past. “A race like this is very trying but they give me the support I need. They know my mood and my needs. I'm grateful for that,” Nagy shared. So grateful in fact, that Nagy said she plans

Inspired Daily Suncoast Striders Walking & Running Club The Suncoast Striders started out in 2006 as a club based out of local specialty running store in Bradenton, Florida. They offered an organized walk/run on Monday nights for customers, friends, and family, basically anyone in the community who was interested in walking or running as a way to get in shape. After a few years the club officers saw a need for a walking and running club that offered more opportunities for walkers and new runners to train and receive coaching advice on a regular basis. The need for a club to help local charities organize fundraiser races also grew. In 2010 the name changed to what it is today: Suncoast Striders Walking & Running Club. From www.SuncoastStriders.com: “The mission of the Suncoast Striders is to promote walking and running as a way to achieve a healthy and fit way of life through group training opportunities, community events, and coaching.” The club's focus has always been on encouraging all ages and all abilities to

become more active. The running store, On A Shoestring, closed but the Suncoast Striders have thrived, offering four group training opportunities per week plus numerous social events throughout the year. There is literally something for everyone. They promote walking as an excellent form of exercise when many local clubs focus only on their fast runner members. While the faces in the weekly training groups change from season to season with the weather, work and vacation schedules, time changes, and the different events they train for, the heart of the club is a strong group of individ-

uals striving to make our community a healthier one. The club awarded its second annual running camp scholarship this year. The Suncoast Striders offer incentives for their members through programs like the 1,000 Mile Club / 500 Mile Club and summer group run/walk attendance contest where members are challenged and encouraged to be consistent in their training, track their mileage, and attend more group training sessions. The club hosts a number of social events, including picnics and movie nights. One of the most memorable moments for the club was when well over a dozen members decided to train together for the inaugural Celebration Marathon and Half Marathon in January 2014. They spent 18 weeks working together and encouraging each other through some tough training, weather, and dark winter nights. But that is how they all made it to the finish line. For many, it was their first ever marathon or half marathon. At such a small, first-year event it felt like the Suncoast Striders owned that finish line. One member even bought mylar blankets for everyone in the club so they could be wrapped up once they crossed the line and have that big marathon finish line experience. This quote, shared by Suncoast

Striders member Laura, describes the club very well: “Running has given me many things but the greatest gift has been the people that it's brought into my life.” Thoughts from Maggie: “I enjoy being part of the Suncoast Striders because I have met so many wonderful people who want to live a healthy and active life. Also, it's not just about walking/running, but making lifetime friendships and going to social activities together.” Another comment from Laura: “I love the Suncoast Striders because I feel like I am at the bar “Cheers” -- where everyone knows your name, except we drink Gatorade and water instead of beer! I get a great workout and training but also true friends to run with.” From Katie: “Through The Suncoast Striders Walking/Running Club, I have met a great group of like-minded individuals. Together, we strive to be better than we were yesterday. To me, being a Suncoast Strider is about friendship and consistency.” Rae Ann Darling Reed is vice president and head coach of the Suncoast Striders Walking & Running Club.

Tom McCormack Gathering National Titles By Tom McCormack Tom McCormack of Jonesborough, TN, won the national USA Track & Field (USATF) Championship in the 60-64 age group Oct. 5 in the Syracuse (NY) Festival of Races. Not only that, but McCormack was also the overall male age-graded champion in the race with a 95.39% efficiency and his16:58 finishing time set a new American record, beating the old record of 17:00. McCormack, who was born in Ireland, ran on an all-Irish cross-country team at East Tennessee State University in the 1970's. After graduation, he quit running for nearly a year, then said he ran “on and off until 2013,” when he started training 3-4 days a week, then retired from the Johnson City, TN, Fire Department and began training six days a week. He turned 60 and began entering masters division races and became a member of the 60-64 competitive team of the Atlanta Track Club. Success followed:

On Oct. 20, 2013, he competed in the USATF Masters 5K Cross Country Championships in Flemington, New Jersey, winning the 60-64 division and was second overall age-graded champion. His time was 17:17.

Running Fitness Wonder What Vegan Is Like? Plenty of athletes use a vegan or plant-based diet to enhance performance. As I like to say, plants enhance. This growing list of athletes includes legendary, frequent ultra marathone winner Scott Jurek to triathlete Brendan Brazier, and to amazing body-builders such as Robert Cheeke. Check out his site www.veganbodybuilding.com for an incredible array of athletes, male and female who do it all 'just' on plants. So what's all the buzz about? Many athletes, myself included, f ind that a plant-based diet reduces inflammation, speeds recovery and manages weight optimally. A vegan diet, or plant-based as the terms go, means eating nothing with a mother or a face. No meat products which includes no dairy or eggs as well. Have you wondered what it's like to eat a plant-based diet? President Bill Clinton reversed his heart disease and avoided a third heart procedure, in addition to losing a needed 25 pounds. Some people think a vegan diet doesn't seem interesting or full of variety. I answer, Mother Nature got it right by giving us thousands of fruits and vegetables in all colors of the rainbow. In the animal kingdom, food is pretty much brown, brown and brown. Nature wanted to make sure we ate our fruits and vegetables by making them so colorful and

appealing. If you aren't ready to go au natural completely, there are plenty of processed foods to help you make the transition. Many food companies such as Tofurkey, Fieldroast, Sophie's Kitchen and Gardein have several of the most popular animal substitutes or analogs, as they are called. These companies are creating foods that look like everything from shrimp, chicken and sausages. They leave no excuse not to at least experiment. Where do you go to try it out with no f inancial risk? Vegfests are popping up all over the country. Some have been going on for decades. They allow you to taste all kinds of vegan foods for free. Although they are called Vegetarian Festivals, they are almost all exclusively vegan. They want vegans to attend knowing that there is no risk they'll be eating something like cow's milk cheeses. There are so many vegan cheeses

anyway, there will most likely be vendors serving free samples. I have been lucky to be invited by my publisher and others to be one of the main speakers at many of the largest vegfests in the US and Canada since my f irst book came out. I've been blown away by all the other speakers, vendors and foods at Vegfests. I just returned from being one of four main speakers at the Portland's Vegfest, considered by some to be vegan mecca. I not only spoke about my recent book, “Paleo Vegan,” but also did cooking demonstrations from one of my other books. I was also asked to lead a workout for attendees titled, “Warm-ups and Cool-downs To Keep You InjuryFree.” Other speakers are also book authors, doctors, registered dieticians, athletes and celebrities. I'll be speaking at the Atlanta and Boston Vegfests this fall. Those events occur on the same weekends as the Tampa (Nov. 8th) and Orlando (Oct. 25th) Vegfests. Be sure to go! I was invited to both Tampa and Orlando Vegfests for the past f ive years and did talks and food demos. But since my publisher invited me to the other two, I have to go to those. My publisher only pays for 2 or 3

authors to speak at these events, which is rare these days. What a great problem to have…overlapping vegfests on the same weekends. More people understand that their doctors never get a single nutrition class in medical school and therefore need to do their own homework about how to deal with health problems. Overlap never used to happen when I started the lecture circuit. So if you have ever wondered what a vegan diet tastes like or looks like, it is fun to go to one of these. Look for other events outside the vegan box. For example, the past two years my publisher invited me to book sign at his booth at the Miami Book Festival, a beautiful street festival over 10 days attracting 2 million people. This year, I was invited by the festival to not only be a speaker, but to also do a food demonstration. Vegan is really getting so mainstream. Gotta run! In addition to “Paleo Vegan: Plant-based Primal Recipes,” Ellen Jaffe Jones is the also the author of “Eat Vegan on $4 a Day” and “Kitchen Divided.” She is a certified personal trainer and running coach and can be reached at www.vegcoach.com.

Learning from the Young Guns

By Ryan Warrenburg, ZAP Fitness

and another 1 mile at marathon pace. The idea is to let your legs feel race rhythm and do something to turn your legs over a bit during the week so you don't feel stale on race day. The main thing here is to avoid doing anything anaerobic where you are could have lingering fatigue carry over to race day. Destination races are popular in the marathon community (for good reason “Honey, it's not my fault I have to go all the way to Berlin to run the fastest marathon in the world.”) If you are driving several hours or getting on a plane to go to a race there are a few things to keep in mind. You should do a short run the day before your race just to shake the travel out of your legs. We've all gone for a run after spending hours in the car… and it's the worst run ever. Get the worst run ever out of your legs before you toe the line. There is nothing better for your race than to go for an easy run to stretch your legs out a bit and get the blood moving after sitting for hours in the same position. It won't feel good, but it will go a long way in ensuring your race will. Important to note that doing something to loosen the legs up the day before does not include spending all day walking around the expo or said destination city. If you are going to make a vacation out of it make the race at the beginning of the trip, not at the end. (You should be taking the elevator to the top of the Empire State Building anyway; only a runner would think the way to get the true experience was to walk up 86 flights of stairs.) Be selfish the days before the race and avoid spending a ton of time on your feet, it will have a negative impact on your race. Get to the expo, get your bib number and get out of there, those things are like Vegas

HE SAID, SHE SAID CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 on using her $250 prize money to help pay for a vacation she plans to take with her support group this winter. The Hungarian-born American runner has a few more goals to tackle before then, however. She plans to tackle a 24-hour race in December, and a 24-hour qualification race in January in an effort to maintain a position on the 24-hour USA team for 2015. Her late September victory proves there is little reason to doubt that Nagy is sufficiently trained and prepared for the challenge. After the Tick Tock Ultra, Nagy said that the 12-hour race was “the perfect prelude for [her] next big competition coming up at the end of September in Sparta, Greece.” It was there that she completed the 250K distance in 28:55 as the top American and 2nd overall female. The relentless record-setting, award-winning ultramarathon runner is disciplined, and committed to her sport. Under the direction of her coach, Oliver Lorincz, Nagy trains six times a week and averages 100 weekly miles. She loves her eight-year old cat that she has had since he was a baby, which probably explains why she chose Whiskers Anonymous as the Tick Tock Ultra's beneficiary of the race's charitable donation. When she is not training, racing, taking care of her pet, or working with her own house management business, Nagy enjoys squeezing in enough time to watch an old black and white movie during which (many of her fans may be surprised to learn) the phenomenal runner, who knows just what it takes to win an ultramarathon, can also disappear an entire box of chocolate chip cookies in one sitting! A runner's appetite happens to be exactly what it takes to do that.

Marathon Race Week What do the marathon taper and the Ab Belt (the infomercial machine that sends shockwaves into your abs claiming to magically melt away belly fat giving you a ripped washboard stomach) have in common? On the surface you might be thinking they have nothing at all in common, but stay with me. Read the product's fine print and you'll notice the recommended exercise routine and nutrition plan you should follow for best results ah ha! If you put in the hard work of exercising and eating properly you'll lose weight and have a more defined midsection. Interesting. Similarly, the success of your marathon taper is dependent upon all the hard work put throughout the buildup. The taper won't miraculously enhance your fitness, but there are some things you can do in the final week of training to get the most out of yourself on race day. The biggest mistake people make in the final week of training is completely changing their routine. If training has gone well the worst thing you can do is change everything at the last minute. It's not to say the taper isn't important, it is, particularly for a marathon. In a race of 26.2 miles the energy requirements are much different than even a half marathon and ensuring your muscle glycogen stores are full is paramount. Truthfully, if you're eating a well-balanced diet this shouldn't be a concern, but backing off your training volume and intensity the final week is important to replenish muscle glycogen and to freshen up your legs heading into race day. You should cut your mileage back roughly 15-25% from the previous week, which should in turn be roughly 1525% less than the week before that. I recommend doing this by trimming a little bit from your daily runs rather than drastically altering your weekly schedule. However, if you run 5 or more days during the week taking an extra rest day is a good idea. Part of maintaining your weekly routine should include a workout the week of the race if you normally do a workout during the week. A Wednesday workout isn't going to boost your fitness come Sunday so this session should remain moderate and at goal marathon pace. The typical workout I use with athletes is 2 miles at marathon pace followed by 3 minutes rest

casinos with no windows or discernable exits so beware! Next thing you know you're buying a new pair of shoes and gummy chews for the race tomorrow. Which brings me to my next point; do not decide to do something, anything, for the first time on race day (or for dinner the night before - I don't care that you've been “dying to try” those 7-spice thai tacos Guy Fieri was raving about on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.) You should have practiced everything: what time you're going to wake up, what you're going to eat for breakfast, certainly what shoes you're going to wear, how you're getting to the start line, what clothes you're going to race in, and what fluid/nutrition you're going to consume during the race. Coffee or no coffee, hat or no hat, compression socks or no compression socks - these are all decisions that should be made before you're heading out the door to catch the shuttle to the start. Having to worry about all of those things at the last minute (I've been there) adds an additional layer of anxiety to the already anxious pursuit of running a marathon. And don't forget to have fun! If you've done the work then the hard part is over, the race is a celebration of all that work. If you start to doubt every step you've ever run, like many of us do the night before a Mary Marcia Brown is a writer, runner, race race, look over your training log and director and personal trainer. review all the hard work you've put in. It Reach her at marymarciabrown@yahoo.com will give you the confidence you need to go to the start line relaxed and ready to take advantage of your preparation. And if you're well prepared then enjoy the celebration!

Ultra Running I have been waiting to recover from the 2,014 miles of the 3,100 mile race I ran this summer. Yes, I was a “dismal” failure getting beat by over 1,000 miles. I was also successful in recording mileage on all 52 days allotted. I had a low of 19 miles and a high of 65 miles. I averaged 38.71 miles per day. By the middle of the run there was very little running. I shuffled and or walked for hours on end. I described this as having no horsepower. Running 20-minute miles was laborious. My feet ranged from causing agony to considerable discomfort. After a while my heels were numb. But recovery? It has been slow. When running, there has been a general weariness. The muscles do not want to respond to my commands. A slow pace requires the effort/oxygen of much faster paces than what I am running. Nothing is injured, broken, or really even sore. There is just a general fatigue. My feet are still sore, particularly the heels, where I think I crushed every soft tissue fiber in there. They remain a strange sort of numb that has gradually dissipated. The bones healed more quickly, and stopped being painful within three weeks, but have been re-aggravated by subsequent events. Yes, there have been subsequent events. Twenty-five days after finishing, I “ran” a slow 50 kilometer. I finished in 8:27:31. I was weary, there was still no horsepower, and my feet hurt. Still I was able to chug along to the finish. The next day I was no more sore than the day before, but the feet hurt more, and took several days to recover to “only” the heel pain/numbness. Ten days later I was back at it, running the Bitter End 100, which was actually 104.25 miles. Yes, those 4.25 miles were significant, taking almost and hour and a half to complete. I have experienced the same lack of horsepower in every run since before the midpoint of the 3100/2014. I timed a mile using the green mileage signs heading into Elizabethton. I was running fast… downhill… breathing hard… 13:02. I even “kicked” trying to break 13 minutes. Ultimately I reached the finish line in 45:19:33. I was sore, tired, and my feet hurt. The soreness went away within a few days. The feet persisted in hurting, including more pain in the heels. Pain that replaced some of the numbness. I took that as a good sign. Twenty days later I was at Hinson Lake for the 24 hour. I was hoping for 100 miles. I wanted at least 89. Fat chance. From the

beginning when I was putting out 7-minute mile effort and running 12 minute miles I knew it would be a long day. There was still no horsepower. There was no lift or drive. Within a few hours the feet hurt, even more than they had during Bitter End. The bones hurt, the heels hurt. I kept going. At 50 miles I stopped for a massage, and a nap. I was off the course for just over 2 hours. When I began running/shuffling again, I was slightly better than when I had stopped. Still moving slowly I was at least moving. Then, as usually happens, I was tested in an unplanned manner. I had to use the bathroom, just before the halfway mark of the loop. I was .75 miles from the porta-potty. The need quickly became distress and I picked up the pace. I was breathing hard, the legs were being taxed, but I was running fast, perhaps even 9-minute miles. I made the porta-potty with seconds to spare. When I resumed the course I was back to my shuffle. There was less than an hour to go. I completed another slow lap then decided to run another full lap before the banana lap. (The banana lap at Hinson Lake is the final partial lap when another full lap is not possible. Runners carry a banana with their number written on it that is placed at their final point of progress when the horn sounds.) I had started the lap walking, still managed a 17:55 for the lap. I continued to where I had begun running and completed that “lap” in just under 15 minutes, sub (barely) 10 minute miles. Still I was encouraged. I ended up with 68 miles, far short of any goal I had set going in. Still I was not disappointed. A maximum effort might have netted another 8 or 9 miles. I have a long way to go before recovery is complete. I should be increasing mileage. I should gradually increase pace. I might even need to find some short races to run, perhaps a marathon. Though there is that 24 hour in a few weeks ... and I may be recovered by then.

Down the Road One Mile Down The Road to Recovery One mile is not very far, right? Wrong. Most of us who have been running for a long time begin to think of a mile run as a mere warm up. But when you are recovering from an injury the actual distance of a mile comes into play. How far is a mile anyway? One mile is 5,280 feet, or 1,760 yards or 1609.344 Meters. So now you know. But when you start walking or running after you have been hurt, it seems a lot longer. Let's see, if your stride is about a yard long you will hit the ground about 1,760 times to run a mile. The pundits say that 3 times your body weight is transferred through your feet up your legs with the impact of each footfall. So if something hurts or is healing, you can multiply your body weight by 3. So for example 3 times 170 equals 510 pounds of impact with each stride. Regular readers may recall that my wife Kathy and I were in a pretty serious car wreck last year when a texting driver ran a light and hit us head on. The wreck totaled both cars and gave Kathy and me only back and neck aches (thanks to all 6 airbags deploying in her new Honda which I was driving). Unfortunately I also got tendon and ligament damage and two breaks - one stress fracture above and one small break in the bone right in front of the ankle of the foot which was jammed on the brake. They have been very slow to heal. When you see your family Doctor (Xray and 6 weeks in a walking boot) and then an Orthopedic specialist (tests and an MRI) and then do Physical Therapy Rehabilitation for 12 weeks, the time it takes starts adding up. It was worse because the pain never stopped. It can also be depressing. But we won't dwell on that. Seeing the Orthopedic specialist 3 months after the final procedure and shot he had prescribed was a very happy day. Especially since he had told me that there was only a 50/50 chance it would solve the problem and that if it did not, only surgery was left as an option - again with only a 50/50 chance of success. After examining my foot and hearing about my increased walking and short runs without pain, he released me. He also gave me his blessing to start running and building towards my goal of being able to run the Cooper River Bridge Run next April. How does a specific goal of running the race at just under 10 minutes per mile and finishing the race in less than one hour sound? It sounded good to him. My goal at the Bridge Run used to be to finish under 40 minutes and I succeeded

at that goal for 17 years in a row (I had run the race 35 times in a row prior to the accident). But after almost a year of not being able to run, he agreed that a one hour goal was very reasonable, assuming nothing goes wrong. You can only imagine how happy I was to hear that and to be released from having to see him again. So what if I still have to do all the P.T. prescribed exercises every morning and every night? So what if I have to wear the prescribed orthotics for the rest of my life? I can run again with the Doctor's blessing. My first run was one quarter of a mile. It felt like about 10 miles. I was actually winded when I got to the mark, and I had not been running fast: 3:08 barely over a walking pace. Surprise. When you don't run for almost a year, you lose a lot of conditioning. I've gradually been adding a quarter mile at a time and finally ran a mile. I feel like a runner again even though it took 10:34 and felt like a 5:34 back in the day. So if you think one mile is not a run, you are wrong. If you think it is not very far - you are partially wrong. Being able to run a mile is an achievement for any non-runner, or for any recovering-froman-injury runner. It feels like and is a landmark distance. As the Chinese philosopher Lao-Tzu purportedly said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.â&#x20AC;? I consider my journey to recovery as beginning for real with my first mile of running since the accident. Where are you on your running journey? We hope to see you running down the road, injury free sometime soon. Cedric Jaggers was elected to the South Carolina Road Runners Hall of Fame in 1992.

What should I eat before I run? That's the question runners of all ages and abilities most commonly ask when I'm presenting a sports nutrition workshop. While most people expect a simple response, such as “Eat a banana” or “Have a slice of toast,” the answer is actually complex and depends on many factors. After all, we are each an experiment of one. The following information can help you figure out the best way to fuel your body before you exercise. Does what you eat within 30 minutes of run offer performance benefits? Your body can actually digest and use the food you eat before you run as long as you are exercising at a pace you can maintain for more than 30 minutes. Research also suggests that eating a snack just five minutes before moderate exercise can improve performance compared to exercising on empty. Yet, if you will be doing intense exercise - a track workout, hill repeats, or heavy weight lifting session, you should experiment to determine the best time to eat. You will likely feel more comfortable allowing two or three hours for your pre-exercise food to digest and empty from the stomach. Will pre-run food cause heartburn or nausea? While many runners can comfortably tolerate pre-exercise food, others experience stomach distress. If the food you eat within the hour pre-run “talks back to you,” figure out: 1. Does the discomfort happen if you allow two or more hours for the pre-exercise food to be digested? 2. Does the type of food cause the problem? That is, do a few pretzels settle well but a cup of yogurt feels acidic? 3. Did you eat too much? Would half a bagel with a skimming of peanut butter digest better than the whole bagel? 4. Are you doing very high intensity work? If so, your stomach will shut down and your body will want to get rid of the contents…. What if I run in the early morning, before my stomach is awake? If you drag yourself out of bed to exercise at early o'thirty, before your body and your mind are fully awake, you might not want to eat much of anything. I know of many runners, swimmers, rowers and ice hockey players who eat their breakfast the night before. That is, instead of eating a bowl of cereal at 5:30 a.m., they enjoy it at 10:00 pm, before going to bed. This food helps them wake up in the morning with a normal blood glucose (blood sugar) level, and provides energy for an enjoyable and effective workout. What if pre-run food contributes to diarrhea and undesired pit stops? Food generally takes one or two days to travel through the intestinal tract. Hence, an undesired pit-stop during a long run on Sunday might relate to food that you ate the day or two before. That is, if you ate an unusually large bowl of high-fiber bran cereal on Saturday when carbo-loading for the Sunday long run, you might end up wishing you'd carbo-loaded on low-fiber corn flakes or Rice Chex. Or maybe that bean burrito on Friday night caused the problem? You can try tracking your food and fiber intake, looking for suspicious patterns. In general, exercise speeds up intestinal motility. With time, most bodies can adjust if you train your intestines to handle pre-exercise food. For example, one runner started by nibbling on one pre-exercise pretzel, and then two, and gradually built up his tolerance to the suggested 100 to 300 calories of carbs consumed within the hour pre-exercise. He enjoyed the benefits of feeling stronger at the end of his runs. Should I purposefully not eat before I exercise because I want to lose weight while I exercise? One client reported she didn't eat before she went to the gym because she was exercising to burn calo-

ries. Why would she want to add calories to her diet? Wouldn't that defeat the main purpose of her workouts? Think again: If you consume 100 to 300 calories before you train, you will be able to run harder, longer, or at higher intensity and burn more calories than if you schlep through the session on fumes, with little enthusiasm or enjoyment. (Plus, you will not be as hungry afterwards and will be able to refrain from over-indulging.) Trust me, the plan to exercise-on-empty is hard to sustain; it is not fun. Just notice the drop-off in attendance at the gym between Jan. 1 and Feb. 1... Food is fuel. As a runner, you need to fuel your body appropriately -- including pre-exercise. Just as you put gas in your car before you take it for a drive, you want to put fuel in your body before you embark on a busy day. Be as nice to your body as you are to your car, please! By eating nothing before my morning run, won't I burn more fat? You may have heard you can burn more fat during low-level “fat burning exercise” if you do not eat beforehand. Yes, you might burn more fat than carbohydrates, but burning fat differs from losing body fat. You lose body fat when, at the end of your day, you have created a calorie deficit. That is, you will lose body fat (weight) if you have eaten only 1,800 calories by bedtime, even though you burned off 2,200 calories during the day. By fueling pre-exercise, you can have a better workout - and perhaps burn more calories than if you were to run on fumes. To lose body fat, I suggest you fuel adequately by day, so you will have energy to enjoy an active lifestyle, and then lose weight at night by eating a lighter dinner. Fueling by day and dieting by night (so you lose weight when you are sleeping), is far preferable to restricting by day only to over-indulge at night due to extreme hunger. Can running on empty enhance endurance? Some recent research suggests that highly competitive athletes might be able to enhance their performance if they train underfueled a few times a week. These depletion workouts can alter muscle metabolism so that the muscles are able to compete better when fully fueled. If you want to “train low,” be sure to do your important high intensity workouts when you are well fueled. You cannot (enjoyably) exercise hard when you are running on fumes. Your performance will suffer unless you do some high quality hard runs when you are well fueled.

Running Psychology The Staleness Solution You ran a lot during the summer and you've been going at it pretty hard this fall, racing often and putting in a lot of mileage during the week. Work has been very busy as well and many evenings you have been up late, either tending to family matters or work related tasks. You are still motivated to run, but just recently you have noticed that you are a bit more tired in the morning, you don't have the same zip going uphill and you just simply don't feel like your normal self. Nothing to worry about, you're just experiencing a little "rough patch," right? Well, be careful, your body and mind may be trying to tell you something. Running is a physical stressor on the body. Training is basically stressing the body and giving the body adequate time and circumstances to adapt to the stress. Too little training stress will result in the body not needing to adapt and fitness levels will show little, if any improvement. Too much stress, coupled with inadequate recovery, and the body fails to adapt to training load with symptoms such as chronic soreness with decreased levels of per-

formance becoming evident. As such, when training load is too great and is combined with less than adequate sleep, improper nutrition and high levels of daily stressors, problems can occur. Some use the terms staleness and overtraining synonymously, and while the two are most certainly related, staleness will often have psychological underpinnings, not just physicals one that result from running too many miles or drastically increasing the intensity of training. Overtraining will contribute to staleness, but it's not the

only thing that needs to be considered. If staleness is allowed to continue over a long period of time, the more serious condition of burnout can occur. Burnout is a more serious form of mental and physical exhaustion that can often lead to dropping totally out of sports like running. So specifically, how can you recognize if staleness is beginning to set in so that you can intervene and ward off more serious problems from occurring? One of the first outward signs of running staleness is that your running seems to require more effort. You simply feel like it's more difficult to run at the same pace or distance. What was once easy may now seem like a struggle. On some days your muscles feel fatigued and they don't seem to recover with easy running days. You just seem to sense that something is just not right. Sure, everyone has some days when running is a struggle physically, but there are other signs of staleness to be aware of. Have your sleep patterns changed? Maybe you still go to bed at the same time and get up at the same time, but you seem to take a long time to fall asleep and you wake-up frequently during the night. You may even notice that you wake-up one or two hours before the alarm and can't fall back asleep. Sleep disturbances can be an early sign of staleness and can become a vicious cycle. You need the rest, but you can't sleep properly. Another sign of staleness can be changes in mood. Maybe someone close has told you that you seem to be a little “cranky” and maybe over-react to little things, like the trash not being taken out. You may notice that you do indeed feel more stressed. In many cases you may actually feel depressed. Depression would appear to be very common in runners suffering from staleness. Dr. Jack Raglin of Indiana University has reported that about 80% of athletes suffering from staleness exhibit some signs of clinical depression. Related to mood disturbances may be changes in appetite. If there is decreased appetite another vicious cycle can develop. You need nutrition for proper recovery, but you just aren't hungry. On the other hand some people may actually overeat during a period of staleness. As with many conditions, early intervention is important to overcoming staleness and not allowing it to progress into a state of severe overtraining or even burnout. Because staleness seems to be highly related to volume of training, the first step to take is to simply cut back on your weekly mileage or time spent running. This doesn't mean not running, it just means reduce your training load and see how you feel. You may just find that a week or two of lower mileage will result in higher energy levels, both physically and mentally. Also, if you've been doing a lot of really hard,

anaerobic training, such as intense interval training and/or a lot of racing, reduce those as well. Too much anaerobic training can alter blood acidity levels and cause chronic fatigue. Be cautious and remember that more isn't necessarily better when it comes to training volume. It's always a good idea to periodize training so that your training plan has recovery cycles built in. If the symptoms of staleness are evident, then obviously more rest is called for. Of course this is often easier said than done. Today's world is hectic and people have so many demands placed upon them. Sometimes it's sleep that's reduced in order to make time for everything else. However, if you are experiencing staleness symptoms, a little extra sleep can go a long way towards a return to form in your running. If possible, try to have some peaceful, unwind time before bed. Try to get in bed just a little earlier and sleep just a little latter. Make your room comfortable for sleep with a cool, comfortable temperature, and darkness and noise reduced as much as possible. Whenever you can, squeeze in a nap, even if it's only for a few minutes. I firmly believe that naps can be a runner's best friend! Also, try your best to reduce stress levels away from running. Little stressors throughout the day can be huge energy drains. Many times it may be impossible to eliminate stressors, like demands at work, traffic or simply limited time to get household chores done, however you can work to change how you react to daily stressors. Restructuring your thinking when it comes to daily stressors can help you be more relaxed and save valuable energy. Just ask yourself, “In the big picture, is this little stressor really worth getting all worked up over?” Save your energy for life's bigger challenges. Don't forget your diet and energy levels. Sometimes staleness can mean a loss of appetite. Adequate nutrition is essential for exercise recovery and not eating properly can accentuate the symptoms of staleness. Be sure to eat adequate carbohydrates for energy and the proper amount of protein for muscle recovery. As a runner, “you need fuel in the tank.” If the symptoms of staleness do present themselves, listen to what your body and mind is trying to tell you. You might be doing a bit too much training and/or not getting adequate recovery from training. Heed the warning signs and you might just ward off much more serious running problems down the road.

Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Running We Have Come a Long Way Baby While I was in South Dakota at the fashion show/dinner the night before the marathon, several of the ladies at my table started discussing the way things were when we started running more than three- plus decades ago. I thought those of you running in the late 70s, and those of you who were not born, and anyone in between would appreciate a look back into the past. In thinking how far we have come I am amazed that those of us running back then actually made it through the good old days. There was a cigarette commercial in the 70s for Virginia Slims which had the slogan "You've come a long way baby." Obviously it was aimed at women to entice them to the glamour of smoking. So using their slogan I can tell you we have come a very long way from promoting cigarettes as glamorous to changing the entire marketplace for female runners. I coached middle school track and field for the three years before I became a runner. My girls were state champions and I suspect since I was not a runner I never even realized the difficulty my girls had finding appropriate attire for running. Of course they were in middle school and shorts and Tshirts worked for them. At least they never complained. When I first attempted to run I realized that high heels would not work. I went to a large sporting goods store and found a pair of Converse tennis shoes. That was the best the store could do. I ran in those shoes for most of a year until I discovered there were actually shoes for runners. We had a small Phidippides store in Tallahassee and I found a pair of waffle trainers. There was very little variety and no women's sizes. You just found a pair that fit! You need to remember there was no internet in the late 70s and very little interest in promoting women's running. It was imagined that all sorts of horrible dilemmas would befall females who ran - anything from your uterus falling out to the supportive tissue in your breasts breaking. Besides women were not supposed to sweat! There was no information on running so you needed to find a group and hopefully get some decent information there. Fortunately I was living at the University of South Florida and then at Florida State University so I found limited resources. Clothes were an entire issue that had really never been addressed. I wish I had thought of all the items we could use. I might well be a multi-millionaire. The first issue was what to wear as an undergarment to support your breasts. Living in Florida with the heat and humidity your regular bra rubbed and chafed. There was no such item as a jog bra. I admit that I often ran in a tube

top. It provided support and certainly garnered attention. I finally bought a Danskin leotard in bright red. To this day Harold Tinsley, who was then the race director of the Rocket City Marathon, recalls how he loved to see me show up at races in that very racy leotard. I matched the top with a pair of terry cloth tennis shorts ( see picture).

In the early 80s a running bra was marketed. Now that was a scary contraption that had more cotton, elastic, and wide straps than could be tolerated by any person sweating. I finally settled on a little cute, lightweight bra that actually matched my competitive uniform (not that it was ever seen). The only problem is that on the day I ran my 2:51 marathon both straps snapped at the start and I was very thankful that I had four safety pins on my number as two were utilized for repair at the starting line. We ran mostly in mid-thigh length shorts and cotton T-shirts. There were no wicking materials and by the end of a run you weighed at least a few extra pounds from the weight of sweaty clothes. Warm ups consisted of sweat shirts and sweat pants. Very quickly after I started running I joined a group of women runners and we did have the benefit of uniforms for competi-

tion. These were nylon singlet and nylon shorts. They certainly were lighter and more comfortable but when you finished a race you were drenched and these numbers did not dry quickly. When we moved to polyester a few years later we were thrilled but they still did not dry after a race. So it was throw on the cotton T-shirt. At the marathon where the bra straps broke, I had a host of other self discovered items to wear because it was cold. Tights did not exist and my legs did get cold. So I wore white panty hose with my shorts, a long sleeve cotton shirt under my singlet, a bandana for my head, and some old gloves which were certainly not runner friendly. I do remember finishing and wondering if I would be carted off to the homeless shelter. Fortunately for me I have never been a shy lady and I utilize what works. I found dancers tights at a local dance supply store and found the underwear cheerleaders wore under their cheer skirts. I am sure I scandalized many a race with my "bun huggers," my tube tops and in winter with my dance tights. I am not sure any of the items I discovered were meant for racing but they worked and I certainly drew attention! When jog bras were finally created in the mid 80s, I was one of first to get one and I wore it with my red "bun huggers." The jog bra was a bright blue and was given to me by masters phenom Priscilla Welch who said she would never wear such a thing in public. I did and although it was polyester it was less to have to dry! I can still hear the comments about the lady who ran in her underwear! Another thing I realized as I began this blast into the past is that we did not have running watches. I had my stopwatch from my middle school coaching and I carried it with me on many a run. I actually had to trust clocks as such at races as the stopwatch was too clunky to carry. Some of the first awards I won had men on them. Awards were never equal as there were so few women and no one seemed to think I would mind a trophy with a guy on top. Actually some races decided to give merchandise as I suspect there was not yet a trophy shop with lady runners on the top. Things began to change a bit after Joan Benoit won the gold medal in the 1984 Olympics. Running stores began popping up and some carried a limited line of gear for females. Some of it was not very comfortable but it was what we had. In the mid 80s, Moving Comfort came on the scene and began developing more options for women. As I have said at the beginning very few females admitted to running and did their best to camouflage themselves. I am sure you recall Kathrine Switzer in her infamous Boston Marathon debut in a very loose gray sweat shirt and sweat pants. I remember my daughter's track uniforms in high school were not only used from season to season but were very heavy and ugly. You were lucky to snag a uniform that fit and you held onto it throughout high school. Then it went back into the pile for the next user. I suspect

that the budget for girl's track was severely restricted if it even existed. With all the stuff available today, I find it a bit of a stretch to keep it simple. I do have a runner's watch now but have not adjusted to all of the new technology. Most women seem to run with music. I guess back in the late 70s you could lug around a cassette player but I am a purist and leave the music at home. Besides it is safer to pay attention to your body and your surroundings. We have indeed come a long way baby. Now you have to sort through all the clothes, technology, training plans, and information overload. I must admit that the good old days were good for a reason.

This Running Life Women learn the joy of running in N.C. Roadrunners Club program The two winners in Raleigh's Magnificent Mile Race last September were breathtakingly fast. The crowd had barely finished cheering them off the starting block when it was time to cheer them across the finish line. Wilkerson Given of Greenville, S.C. won the whole thing, crossing the finish line in a blistering 4:11.3 while Cristy Cazzola of Oshkosh, Wis. smashed the women's record, winning her division in 4:41.1. Yes, those speedy times are impressive, but in a way I am more inspired by a group of women who ran with their hearts on their sleeves during the hottest dog days of summer, some of them crossing a finish line for the very first time. Liddie Shropshire, wearing the signature teal-colored shirt representing the North Carolina Roadrunners Club's Women's Beginner Running Program, could not stop the tears from welling up in her eyes

By Teri Saylor

when she finished the mile race in 14 minutes. Within five seconds after she crossed the finish line, a half dozen women in teal shirts covered her up in a massive group hug as she wiped away tears. “This is the first time anyone has ever cheered for me at a finish line,” she said, and her voice trembled with emotion.

“When I heard the announcer call out my name, I just got emotional.” Even now, a month later as I write these words, I'm starting to tear up a little bit too just thinking about Liddie and her big finish. The last time I witnessed finish line emotion like that was at the finish line of a 100-mile ultra marathon. Liddie felt it after a single mile. After all, that was the first mile she had run in roughly 15 years, when she ran her first - and last - 5K, the one she ran with her girlfriends, as they laughed and joked over the entire 3.1 miles, not treating it like a real race at all. I will never know what it feels like to run a mile in under 5 minutes, but I do know what it feels like to labor through a run and cross my first finish line. For most of history, women have not been able to run at all. Up to the late 20th

Century, neither tutu nor tiara was spotted crossing a finish line on a race course. The women's marathon was not even a part of the Olympics until 1984 when Joan Benoit Samuelson became the first female to win marathon gold in Los Angeles. The NCRC started its Women's Beginner program in 1998. It was the first couchto-5K women-only running program in Raleigh and boasted around 15 participants and a handful of volunteers. They met twice a week to train, targeting the Women's Distance Festival race, held in September. The race is now known as the Celebration 5K and took place on September 20 at a park in downtown Raleigh. The women's program had 75 runners and over a dozen volunteers this year.

Robin and Terri directed the NCRC Women's Beginner Running Program. This race was only the second 5K Liddie had run in nearly 15 years. As she approached the finish line, Robin, Terri, Angela and several other participants in the program met her in the shoot and ran her in.

THIS RUNNING LIFE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16

When Liddie first thought about taking up running on a regular basis, she was worried her knees wouldn't hold up. At 57, she also worried about hurting her back, but the women's group was a tantalizing option. “Here was an opportunity right in my lap, so I decided to see if I could do it,” she said. The first training run was a magic mile, and everyone ran it at their own pace. The gauged their speed as a baseline on which to build. After that first run Liddie admitted she was “pooped, but so glad to be there.” Christy Redfern has always considered running as a form of punishment. She was a high school athlete and remembers having to run laps if she misbehaved or broke a rule. She grew up hating to run. Today, as a busy mom with a 5-year-old and a toddler, Christy, 33, wants to get in shape to keep up with the kids and have

Running Journal • November, 2014 enough energy to play with them. “If people think running is crazy, then I want to catch the crazy bug,” she said after completing the Magnificent Mile and the Celebration 5K. Christy started the women's program in the 13-to-14-minute pace group, based on her first magic mile. About a month into the program, she ran another timed mile and finished in 12:32. Then weeks later she crossed the Magnificent Mile finish line in 10:32. To say she is fired up is an understatment. “I admit I am impressed with myself,” she said. For Christy, running is no longer punishment. “Running is fun,” she said. “I never thought I'd ever say I enjoy running. I have gone from hating it to craving it.” Liddie ran the Celebration 5K too, and many of her fellow runners and mentors waited and watched for her at the finish line. When they spotted her coming into the finishers' shoot, they jumped in and ran the last 100 yards with her, fists pumping while spectators cheered and clapped.

After catching her breath, Liddie, like most runners, analyzed her race. “I feel less like a beginner now,” she said. “I knew I could do it, and it felt good, but I saw a couple of places where I think I could have run faster.” She's on the lookout for another race in hopes of improving her finishing time. For Liddie the best part of all this is the reaction from her sons, ages 13 and 15. She knows they are proud of her. “I love it when I come home from training and my oldest asks me 'Mom, how was your run?” she said. Both Liddie and Christy hope to volunteer in next summer's Women's Beginner Program to help other women learn to enjoy running. “The program was truly life-changing,” Christy said. “It has turned me into a runner.”

Running Journal â&#x20AC;˘ November, 2014

Different Methods of Marathon Training By Bob Dozoretz Jeff Galloway, a highly respected published author and accomplished runner, wrote an article on minimum training to finish a marathon. Mr. Galloway has forgotten more training concepts than I ever had, but I need to disagree on some of his ideas. As a coach, one of the first things I tell runners is that I always have a reason for anything I ask them to do. There is logic and experience behind my decisions so I feel confident as a coach recommending them. We'll look at Galloway's schedule and why I disagree. He says that for a first marathon it is OK not to have a time goal, but you should have some idea what your pace is and some realistic time in mind, even if it's 5 plus hours. Something. He uses the popular 'Magic Mile' formula to determine what the training pace should be. Basically, you run one mile all out and use multipliers of that. Well, a mile is an aerobic event, a marathon the farthest thing from it. I have found it to be useful, but I always have first-timers run at least a 5K during training. It mimics race experience and provides me with a race time I can use to determine the next phase of training. The Magic Mile is OK, but a 5K is better. He says when the temperature is over 60, slow by 30 seconds per mile for every 5 degrees for long runs and the race. So, it's a cool 75 out so instead of an 11 minute mile, run a 12:30. Worse, it's 80, so run a 13 minute pace. Yes, running slower is fine, but not by so much. The body will adapt to the heat and if you feel OK, and can talk and run, just run, stay hydrated and look for shade. Late in the training run your body may tell you to slow, which is normal, but with proper training and conditioning your marathon will be steady.

Jeff originated the run/walk principle, which really has helped many complete marathons. I cannot argue with his ratios. However, walkers use a walk/shuffle ratio that avoids heavy breathing. You're in a race, even first time in a marathon, so what's wrong with a little exertion? Even the walkers I know give a good effort. On his schedule, he has every Monday and Wednesday off or cross train, and 30-minute runs each Tuesday and Thursday. This is a marathon, and you need specificity of training which means running. Get out there and log some miles and certainly increase your 30-minute runs over the weeks of training. Yes, even for beginners, as I do not believe running a half hour helps prepare you at all for a 4-plus-hour marathon. Last, he takes runners up to 26 miles in training. Why? The thrill of the race is to finish 26 miles, and if you do this in training it can be a letdown on race day. Also, you deplete your immune system so chances of illness increase, along with injury. Just not worth it in my opinion. I am simply suggesting anyone following a training plan feel free to ask why. There are numerous coaches, stores and runners to turn to so take advantage of us.

Masters Running Persevere - and You Will Improve! Another barrier is broken! I recently heard that Dennis Kimetto of Kenya set a new marathon world record, running a sub-2:03 in Berlin, 2:02:57 to be exact. That's an average pace of less than 4:42 per mile! The chase for the sub two hour marathon is definitely on, and I am getting more and more optimistic that I will see (or at least hear of) someone completing the 26.2 mile distance in under two hours during my lifetime. While marathon times are getting faster and faster, I am on the other side of the two hour barrier, wanting to stay there as long as I can. But I know that some day it will no longer be possible. I am talking about the half marathon, of course. My times in the 13.1-miler are slowly but surely creeping upwards, hovering just minutes below two hours. And some day we will cross paths, the world's fastest human in the marathon and I. Not literally of course. But some day I will no longer be able to run 13.1 miles as fast as world class men can run twice that distance. We runners are all fighting similar battles as we get older. Maybe your half marathon time isn't anywhere close to the marathon world record. It may be much faster - or slower. Or maybe you don't even run half marathons. But while world class runners are at the peak of their game, trying to beat records or win championship medals, the challenge for many of us is to stay alive in the sport. To stay motivated to continue, and to not get a career ending injury. We may wish we were faster, but we don't know how to get there. We wonder what happened over all those years, and how (in my case) a 1:18 half marathon could become a 1:58, even though the effort feels the same. But at the same time we are happy to still be running, while many of our counterparts had to give it up, because of knee arthritis or other ailments. For us it is more a matter of survival and longevity in the sport. We may have to look beyond times, and be happy to reach that finish line. Be happy to not have slowed down much since last year. Be happy to enter a new age group, where it may be a little easier to get some hardware every now and then. This being said, it is still frustrating sometimes. Frustrating to get slower, to battle injuries, and to not be able to compete on the level we once did. We know that diminished aerobic capacity and loss of muscle mass are two major culprits that are responsible for slowing us down. But the other week I got a stark reminder that

By Lena Hollmann RRCA Southern Director

poor running form can also play a role. A saw a picture of a group of runners that included me, taken by a friend while we were about a quarter mile into a one mile race. It revealed that I tense up while I run, and that my feet barely leave the ground. In the picture my shoulders are raised, and it looks like I am on a stroll even though I'm running only one mile and therefore should be able to pick up my pace. I was aware before I saw the picture that I hardly pick up my feet any more when I run. Put me on a trail, and it won't be long before I trip on a root and am lying face down! (Which is why I prefer to run on the roads these days.) We all lose some strength and power in our legs as we get older, which in turn causes our running to more and more resemble a shuffle. We can slow this process down somewhat by performing strength and plyometric exercises. But we will still not be able to get the fluency in our step that we see in world class runners. However the tension in my shoulders was an eye opener. But maybe I shouldn't be surprised. We tend to tense up when we work hard in any sport. Wanting to give it our all, we clench our fists, tighten our shoulders and grimace with our face. The shorter the distance, the more we tend to tense up. And we do it the most towards the end of any event. I recently took an indoor cycling certification, where I was reminded to tell my students to lower their shoulders and loosen their grip on the handlebar during the harder parts of the class. They could then cycle with less effort, while keeping the same resistance and cadence. The same goes in running! If your cadence (leg turnover) and resistance (wind, road, and gravity) stay the same, but you make a conscious effort to relax, your running will feel much easier! Unlike in a cycling class, we may not have an instructor or coach standing on

the sidelines yelling at us to relax when we are running and racing. So we must always bring along our “inner coach” to remind us to run with shoulders down and hands slightly open, especially as we approach the finish line and want to catch that guy in front of us before we get there. You can work on your form during training runs, by periodically concentrating on running relaxed. During these drills you can pick up your pace a little, for 50-100 yards. Or you can continue running at your normal training pace. If you are like me and barely lift your feet off the ground, you may also want to focus on picking your feet up a little higher. Concentrate on running relaxed with a smooth and fluent step during training, and your muscles will “remember” to do so during races also. And don't forget your strength training! Without it our muscles will not thrive as we would like them to. Running itself will work our leg muscles, but only in one plane (forward) and some muscles more than others. To become balanced we need to strengthen the supporting muscles also, in our legs, core, and upper body. Of course we won't run like Kimetto, even if we run as strong, balanced and relaxed as we can. But we can at least hope it will improve our performance somewhat.

It may also be worth noting that Kimetto is a “late bloomer”. He didn't start running until in his twenties, and he is now thirty years old. Although he is still very young compared to many of you who are reading this, he is older than most who make their debut on the world stage of running. He showed us that when we might think we are too old to create some thunder, we are not! He also demonstrated that we shall never throw in the towel, but instead believe we can do what may first seem impossible. Within reason of course - none of us will ever run a 2:02 marathon! But if you believe you will not be able to lower last year's 10K time because you have gotten slower every year, you may want to re-think that. Some minor adjustments may be all you need to better your time - more strength training, lose a few pounds, or maybe simply learning how to run more relaxed. The most important take home point is to persevere, and to remember that there is always room for some improvement! Even if it simply means not slowing down.

Running Through the Age Groups For the Women-Folk: When All Else Fails and You're Just Not Feeling Yourself (Part I) After losing both of my parents at young ages to sudden and massive cardiac events, I became concerned that I might be at risk and decided in the fall of 2012 to examine and reduce my own risk for a cardiac episode while at the same time making my running comeback. Fortunately for me, there is longevity in my family -- and my lifestyle, consisting of a healthy diet, not smoking, and getting regular exercise, is quite a departure from that of my parents, who ate the typical American diet, treated exercise like something immoral and swore up and down that smoking was a healthy habit! My dad smoked cigars and pipes, and my mother chain-smoked cigarettes. They subjected each other (and, during my formative years, me) to second-hand smoke, which was absolutely miserable. I recall flying out to Seattle, Washington from Wilmington for the National Junior Olympic 3000 and 1500 meter races, and they made me sit in the smoking section of the airplane! Honestly, I don't know how I ran at all, much less at the level on which I was competing in those days. Well, I digress … let's get back to the fall of 2012. I knew I had a history of high cholesterol, which I probably inherited from my mother. What I hadn't realized when I decided to go on this “health kick” was just how out of shape I had become! I went to my family's cardiologist, a longtime friend, who weighed me at 150 pounds! I could hardly believe I had somehow managed to put so much weight on my 5'5” frame, and I had apparently accomplished this weight gain while deluding myself that I was still a lean, mean, racing machine! The doctor, an old-fashioned, non-athletic type, assured me that this was just a sign of growing older and that it was nothing to worry about. I began to rationalize that maybe my bones were just heavy. He then ran a battery of tests which showed everything checking out fine except for, of course, my cholesterol. At my follow-up appointment, the doctor and I discussed options. He ordered another test - one which I highly recommend for anyone over 40 who has any heart disease in his/her family - called a cardiac calcium-score. This is a non-invasive, miniature CT scan of the major arteries surrounding the heart. It takes only about five minutes and costs typically around $100.00. The test is designed to see the nature and extent of any arterial damage due to high cholesterol levels. He

then, predictably, began the spiel about statin drugs. I say “predictably” because my cholesterol has measured over 300 since I can remember (although historically the doctors have not worried that much because my HDL - or “good” - levels typically exceeded 100 as a result of all the running and, as a result, I've been told that my ratio of HDL to LDL - the “bad” stuff - was such that my risk was minimized). Additionally, I have tried several different statins and am extremely intolerant of them; literally, the day I try one of these drugs, I get the muscle cramping and weakness they warn you about. Because of this, taking statins literally kills my running! Moreover, I reasoned, they warn you not to eat grapefruit while taking statins. Grapefruit is one of the healthiest foods I know of and is also one of my favorites. That and the fact that I cannot run on statins are deal-killers for me. After the calcium score came back, it was determined I had a mild to moderate risk, so we tried an old-fashioned nonstatin alternative which worked for a little while but then became ineffective. This fact, along with the fact that not only could I not seem to lose an ounce (I was fasting two days per week and otherwise eating under 1,000 calories per day while running about 20 miles per week), had me extremely frustrated. What calories I did eat were healthy ones, and I was running more regularly and making respectable showings in races, but I was generally miserable. Running just didn't feel “right”, and I had no energy. I felt heavy and clay-footed, and just didn't feel like myself at all. I was beginning to resign myself to the apparent reality that I was never going to be that “lean, mean racing machine” again, and that I could blame some really unfortunate genetics for that reality. I was about to give up my dream of becoming a tour-de-force in the masters running community, when - by accident

els, that there was literally no way I would be able to rid myself of my extra weight, or feel “right,” unless the imbalance was rectified. No diet or food plan was mentioned. I then met with the doctor, a very pleasant and extremely athletic fellow in his late sixties, who spent an entire hour educating me about the nature of women's hormones, how they interplay with one another, and how this delicate balance can be disturbed as one progresses through one's “age groups.” I had no idea that men could be so simple (they only have testosterone) and women so complicated; our female bodies are endowed with three types of estrogen as well as a hormone called progesterone, and we even have testosterone! The doctor (who rides his bike over 300 miles per week!) prescribed some progesterone and medications designed to ramp up my metabolism in order to assist in shedding weight. He then set an appointment for some extremely detailed blood testing to determine if any additional hormone supplementation would be necessary. He gave me a book on hormones so I could educate myself, I had my prescriptions filled right there in house, and went on my -- now excited -- way. In my next column, I will tell you “the rest of the story.” and it's really good, so stay tuned! Until then, happy trails, and be sure to take advantage of this incredible fall running weather!

or maybe the grace of God - I drove past a diet facility in Myrtle Beach that appeared to be a physician-supervised weight loss center. I must admit that, at the time, I was skeptical, because I had honed my diet to near-perfection with absolutely no positive results. Desperate times, however, call for desperate measures, so I decided to take the plunge and give it a shot. Upon entering the facility, I was met with a friendly staff member who provided me with a bunch of forms to fill out. I looked around and saw all the engineered diet foods that were for sale in the lobby. My red flags immediately came up (I've tried these types of programs in the past and they do work in the short-term but you can't live off of engineered diet food forever!). But I thought, “You're here now; there's nothing to lose … at least hear them out!” After filling out all the questionnaires about my diet, lifestyle and goals, I was met by a pleasant nurse who - after reviewing my detailed answers about my frustrations and analyzing my body composition - explained to me that I was “estrogen dominant.” What that means, I learned, was that I had so much estrogen Mary Margaret can be reached at in comparison to my other hormone lev- mmmceachern@bellsouth.net
