This Running Life Meb shares Boston Victory With Raleigh Runners In the lobby of Raleigh's downtown Marriott on a chilly, gray, rainy morning in January, I took full advantage of a golden opportunity to reenact for Meb Keflezighi, in person and in vivid detail, how I ran along with him during his epic Boston Marathon victory in my living room.

Meb was in Raleigh on Jan. 26 to present SportsTravel Magazine's 2014 award for Best New Sporting Event to the city council.

The City of Raleigh won the award after hosting the 2014 Rock'n'Roll Marathon as the newest city on the race's circuit. After attending the public announcement in Las Vegas, Meb picked up the trophy, crafted out of crystal and wood, and delivered it to Raleigh, where he handed it over to City Councilman Bonner Gaylord during an outdoor ceremony and press conference.

By now, everyone reading this magazine knows the final minutes of the 2014 Boston Marathon men's race were as exciting as the Kentucky Derby, or the Daytona 500, coming down to the wire.

Working at home on April 21, with the marathon playing on TV in the background, I had been randomly watching, until the race announcers started getting excited. Meb had taken a solid lead and was just a few miles from an epic finish.

I guess I could say a holy ghost took over my body and as if in an evangelical church of running, I started running, too. Right there in my living room I was running in place shouting at the television - “Run Meb, run.”

I ran in place, waving my arms, shouting and cheering at the television. When Meb threw his arms up in the air as he broke the ribbon to win, I threw my arms up, too, and shouted “We won!”

At the end of my dramatic reenactment in the hotel lobby, Meb said “aww…” and he stood up and wrapped his arms around me in a nice, warm, long hug.

Then he said. “I hear that a lot.” And he flashed his famous large, wide grin as he said people tell him all the time where they were when he won the 2014 Boston Marathon. “They tell me they were in their cars, listening on the radio and yelling, or at work, watching on their computers,” he said. “We needed that victory more than anything. I really wanted to try and win it, and that's what I did. I did it for myself, for other people, for Boston and for the world.”

After our interview, Meb would help kick off the start of the spring marathon season at Runologie, a local running store, and show off a three-mile section of the new Raleigh Rock'n'Roll marathon course.

That night, he greeted more than 400 runners, making brief remarks, and then took off running with them. Many of the local

By Teri Saylor

pacer with a flag, helping half-marathon runners whose finishing times approach two hours, Meb finished the Boston Marathon in 2:08.37 but he dreams of helping regular runners struggling to break three hours.

“I want to help runners reach their goals,” he said.

In the midst of our conversation, he took time to answer a few specific questions: Q -- Was it your emotions that carried you or did you just have a great race that day?

“I wasn't the fittest I have ever been, but I wrote the names of the bombing victims on my bib. I took my inspiration from them. I needed to draw on this inspiration. The last 17 miles I was hurting pretty bad. People were just yelling USA, USA. But what helped me was not just the crowd cheering, but the angels of the victims. Using that moment for the power of energy, there was the power of emotion that carried me through, and there was something above that made it happen.”

Q -- What do you do when you have bad days? Are there days when you don't feel like running?

“There are a few days. It doesn't happen a lot but my running is a huge commitment.

As a professional, it is my job to run. The hardest part is putting your shoes on, tying your shoes and getting out the door. Once you are out the door, you are going to have a great day. I do have those days when it snows 3 feet or 4 feet at mammoth lake. I wait a little while get out and get it done.

You drive 40 miles one way to find a place to run. Where there is a will there's a way.”

runners beat him back to the store, because he slowed down to run with the recreational crowd. Afterwards, he posed for pictures and signed autographs, and stayed until every single person waiting in line had the chance to meet him.

Approaching 40, Meb is looking at life after marathon championships - though he's not slowing down. He will be the defending champion at the 2015 Boston Marathon on April. He hopes to make the 2016 United States Olympic Marathon team, and after that he plans to devote his time to giving back in person and through MarathonMeb, his foundation, which focuses on helping people find and maintain balance in their lives through exercise and sports.

His goal is to be an ambassador for running, which is shaping up to be the perfect job for him. He is warm and funny and engaging, and quite possibly the nicest person on the planet.

Meb wants to be that guy at the finish line who goes out to struggling runners and helps run them in. He wants to be that spectator who high-fives finishing runners as CONTINUED ON PAGE 9 they approach the chute. He wants to be the

He Said, She Said Do You Have the Luck of the 'I Wish'?

Lots of little leprechauns can be seen leaping in front of radiantly colored rainbows, or popping out of pots of copious coins of gold this month. They certainly seem like lucky little fellows, with their four leaf clovers, lucky charms, and endof-the-rainbow rewards! They apparently carry the good “luck of the Irish” yearlong, from one green-wearing St. Patty's Day to the next. Meanwhile, many of the rest of us simply wish to experience a portion of the good luck that continuously lingers around the fortuitous elves.

During the lottery for January's Chevron Houston Marathon, countless runners tested their luck for a chance to run among the 13,000 participating marathoners, by entering the event's final lottery. The first year of the race, in 1972, the marathon had only 73 runners. When the 2010 race sold out in under an hour, the marathon committee decided to institute the lottery in 2011. After only five years, the committee has decided to dissolve the lottery option beginning with their 2016 event.

Fortunately, for many Texas runners, this decision did not affect their decision to try to make their wishes come true by entering the last lottery for the recent 2015 marathon.

Eric Ramirez

By Mary Marcia Brown

I caught up with two hopeful Texas runners to ask, when it comes to running, and especially when it comes to winning a marathon entry through the lottery, do you have the luck of the “I Wish”?

He (Eric Ramirez) Said…

“I tried my luck with the 2014 Chevron Houston Marathon lottery, but had no luck,” 29-year old runner and running store employee, Eric Ramirez said.

A bit dejected after not having been selected to participate in the marathon in 2014, Ramirez resolved to qualify and gain entry into the 2015 event's half marathon distance. He qualified with a 10k, and set a personal record in the process.

“There have been 43 editions of the Houston Marathon, and the Houston Half Marathon has been run 14 times,” Houston Marathon Committee Communications Manager, Vicky Oddi said.

“I ran the Aramco Houston Half Marathon on January 18, 2015. Going into this race I was already doubting myself as I was battling a foot/ankle injury since late July,” Ramirez said.

Some would say that, with no 2014 marathon entry, and with an injury going into the 2015 half marathon, luck is not on Ramirez's side. He sees things quite differently.

“I would say that I am somewhat lucky when it comes to injuries. Even with my foot/ankle injury, I was still able to run and perform well in the Houston half marathon,” Ramirez said of his 2:05 13.1mile January trek, and first ever half marathon race.

He also feels that his luck, much like that of a leprechaun's, follows him in other areas of life as well.

“I do feel like I have luck on my side during races. I guess it is a mix of extra energy and adrenaline when you step foot on the course and see that start line. I always seem to exceed my expectations for every race that I have run,” Ramirez said.

Optimistically, his lucky streak will continue throughout 2015, as Ramirez has

ambitious running goals for the year. He wants to PR in every race he runs, and also wants to win his age group before he turns 30. His lucky charms won't quite fit in his running shorts' pockets, but they will likely find a cozy place somewhere at Ramirez's 2015 races to offer support, and possibly a little extra luck.

“I have a beautiful loving wife Haley, and a six-year-old daughter, Ryleigh. They are both my biggest fans and my #1 supporters in life,” Ramirez said.

Ramirez has been running for four years.

Though he initially started running because he wanted to live a “healthy active lifestyle”, the sport has already offered him so much more - including an “escape from daily struggles in life”, increased focus, and an acute appreciation of the fortune in his corner of the world.

With a proclamation that “this will be the best year of [his] life,” and with a centered outlook on how simple true “luck” can really be, Ramirez said, “I am very lucky just to live life.” “Life is good!”

She (Tricia Garza) Said…

“I am not sure how much I believe in luck,” shared Houston native, Tricia Garza.

The 31-year old runner was selected three out of the four times she entered the event's lottery - including the final 2015 lottery. “I

Tricia Garza

was super excited about being selected through the lottery system,” Garza said.

As with races in the past, Garza trained for the recent marathon by mixing up her workouts and ensuring she continued to add in something new to surprise her body.

She reached this year's marathon finish line in 4:13.

“I have never had a bad race. I continue to work hard and improve my time each year,” Garza said. Of course, there was that stubborn (or unlucky) 25 percent of her unchosen lottery entries that translated into an event for which she did not have the opportunity to improve her time.

“The year that I was not selected was a huge bummer. Running a marathon/half marathon in your hometown is amazing.

Your family and friends are able to support you along the course, which always helps,” Garza said.

With the elimination of the lottery moving into 2016, Garza's goal is to qualify for the marathon and rid of registration worry in the process. But how does she feel about the race's decision to disappear the lottery option altogether?

“I think the decision to eliminate the lottery is a good one. I don't know how many people are not chosen each year, but it just makes more sense to have an open registration and when it's sold out, it's sold out,” Garza said.

“I think if you want something, you have to work for it. It makes the reward at the end, that much sweeter,” Garza said.

Something else many runners will find a smidgen sweeter to the palate, is lifting the previous cap of 25,000 runners moving into 2016.

“We are looking forward to our biggest event ever in 2016 with marathon and half marathon fields of 13,500 each,” Houston Marathon Committee Communications Manager, Vicky Oddi said.

Two-thousand additional spaces may make the final open registration thrust, beginning on June 3rd's National Running Day, a bit more hopeful for interested runners who previously wished to gain entry through the lottery.

They may not have had the good luck of the “I wish” through the lottery in years past, but with more space being made in the starting line corrals, they may just get lucky in 2016.

Women’s Running Olympian Amy Begley On Her New Job At The Atlanta Track Club I am sharing this article as it first appeared online at RunBlogRun but I wanted to let my readers know what is happening in Atlanta. If you are a member of the Atlanta Track Club, you now have the opportunity to be coached by an Olympian.

I have known Amy Begley for a number of years and at one time attempted to recruit her to the Atlanta Track Club Competitive Team. Now she returns to Atlanta as the head coach of the Atlanta Track Club. Amy, a 15-time All-American and two-time NCAA national champion while competing for the University of Arkansas, made the 2008 Olympic team at 10,000 meters with a dramatic last lap, racing the clock to beat the required “A” time standard for inclusion. In 2009 she ran a personal best 31:13.78, making her the eighth-fastest American woman in history. She finished her professional career with six national titles.

Amy is excited about her new position as head coach and has stated that “I believe in the organization's mission of improving health and wellness through running. This sport has had a profound impact on my life, and I am eager to pay it forward to Club members of all ages and abilities.” Amy took some of her very busy time to answer my questions and I truly appreciate her candor. I believe she is a valuable addition to the Atlanta Track Club.

What led you to take the head coaching job of the ATC? Here is what I said in the AJC about the job (I added a little more here): The job was posted and people sent it to me saying I should consider applying. There are a lot of different components to the job. But what I loved the most is it's stuff I've done my whole life. I started kids camps for cross country and track. I've done kids speed and track and field days for YMCAs and schools. I started a non-profit "Track if for Every Body" (meaning body type) to teach kids about track and field when they are really little to try to get them to track and field and maybe not to soccer. We do say soccer players make some of the best runners.

I started a women's local running club in Portland for women who either wanted to qualify for Boston or run their first 5K or 10K. These are women who had never done a training program before so it was their first time doing that.

I coached the distance divas in Oregon and Connecticut, which is a post-collegiate group for kids graduating college

By Carolyn Mather, RN, PhD.

and trying to make the next level. I worked with all these different groups but it's always been an outreach of my main job, which in Connecticut was as a college coach. I was doing all these things when I had time.

Now all these things I love to do is under one job title. It's an amazing job to have when everything you love is under one roof.

That's what really drew me to the job is working with all the different ages and populations in running.

What are your goals for 2015 in regard to the club?

Developing a training curriculum and enhancing the training options for members.

Engage with the ATC Members and the running community.

Recruit members for the ATC Elite Team and convince the good runners to stay in the state to continue their career.

We are thrilled to have someone of your caliber be the head coach of the ATC. How do you think this job will differ from collegiate coaching?

In this job, I get to work with all ages and abilities of runners. I will get to watch the young ATC members grow up through the club activities. I can watch new runners find a passion for this sport. I can be a part of Masters Track & Field, which shows that Track & Field is a lifelong sport and you can be competitive at any age. I can watch someone run a PR after hitting a plateau in training. I am not recruiting 17 & 18 years olds, instead I am recruiting 21 & 22 year old college graduates to join the ATC Elite. I will also be recruiting masters runners to continue the tradition of the ATC Masters Teams.

What can you and (your husband) Andrew do to enhance the ATC Elite team?

We hope to bring structure and organization to the group. This will be the first time there has been a coach in charge of all 3 groups (open, Masters & Track &

Amy Begley, the new coach of the Atlanta Track Club, photo courtesy of ATC

Field). There will be scheduled practices.

Races will be planned in advance with goals set for the year. We will be there for coaching and support at practices and races.

Give me a little background on Andrew.

He was a 4-time State Champion in Indiana and 4th at Footlocker Nationals.

Andrew went to Wisconsin for a year and ran under Martin Smith. He transferred to Arkansas where he was a part of 9 NCAA National Championship Teams under Coach McDonnell. He is a 3-time AllAmerican and an Academic AllAmerican. He qualified for the 2000 Olympic Trials. His PRs are 28:49 for 10K and 13:56 for 5K. In Oregon he took a High School XC team from last in the league to 6th at State in his first season. He increased the XC team from 42 to 85 athletes in 2 years. He has been a coach or consultant for 19 state titles in Indiana, Louisiana and Oregon.

How do you plan to enhance the volunteer coaching program of the ATC? The volunteer coaches have been the backbone of the training programs for the ATC. They have done a great job in organizing and building a community. The only change will be set workouts for the training programs that each location will implement.

Will you be putting together corporate training programs?

The corporate training programs are a 2016 goal.

How is the job going so far?

It is mostly organizing things like practice times and locations before the New Year. Finding locations for practices is the problem. Once January starts, It will be less organization and more time spent at practice getting to know the Run Leads and the athletes.

Is there any comment you have on your new position?: It will be challenging but I look forward to working with all the different groups.

Andrew is still in Connecticut till the end of January to finish out the semester in CT. He is a biology, anatomy & physiology teacher. However, I brought 3 athletes with me to Atlanta. They will be living with me while they try to make the jump to the next level of running.

Running Fitness What's a Sprinter to Do? When I went to high school, the only choice girls had for sports was field hockey.

When the running craze ignited decades ago, the few races I did were 5Ks and I never placed in my age group. When my daughters entered college, there was plenty of time to find training programs. As I entered races, I did OK. I've placed in 82 5K or longer races since 2006.

Along the way, I discovered I was a much better sprinter than distance runner.

I kept asking what events a sprinter could do, and the only answer was the local Gulf Coast Senior Games. Or I could fly out of state to compete in Masters track meets.

But for just one track meet, that seemed hugely expensive.

So I competed at the local senior games for the first time in 2010, then at State in 2011 where I qualified in four events to compete at Nationals. There I placed seventh in my age group in the 1500 meters and three other events, too. The local running community really disses the senior games saying they aren't competitive.

Many stay away, as I had.

By Ellen Jaffe Jones

At the local county qualifying games last year, I got first in all six events I did, all on the same morning, including overall female finisher in the 5K. After the 5K, I headed to the track and got first in everything from the 50 to the 1500 meters. That was the first time I'd ever received an overall award. Pretty cool following the lead bike even if there were only about a dozen women in that race.

At the state Florida Senior Games, it was a different story. They're actually called the “Florida International Games.”

As in past years, residents of different states and countries were allowed to come to Florida to compete. In past years, the

Florida Sports Foundation posted the results according to the rules: The out-ofstate and country competitors would be posted as they finished and clearly designated, but only Florida residents got medals and could qualify to compete at Nationals.

That same rule was stated in the entry forms this year, but the results didn't get posted that way until I raised a ruckus. In my age group both in 2011 and last year, 2013, two amazing women from Barbados who had legs up to my neck, beat the pants off of me in a couple of events. But in 2011, the posted results made clear where they were from and a little asterisk by my name indicated I was from Florida and they were not. So I got the medals and qualified for Nationals.

This year at State, when I got first in all six events I did, as far as I could tell, I was the only one who got golds in all those events. But when the results posted, there was no indication where anyone was from.

In three events, it looked like I came in third, instead of first.

This may seem trivial, but I just got interviewed by the Los Angeles Times about one of my books. It would have been normal for the reporter to verify my saying, “I'm first in State in 5 events.” If she had looked before it took the Florida Sports Foundation a month to change the results to be consistent with the rules as I requested, she probably would have

7

thought I was lying, or at least exaggerating. The results were finally changed to the first two finishers with the designation of “international” and by their names, “Florida” by mine. So now, first in Florida.

Not third.

Many runners are sticklers about rules and train for and enter events based on expectations. At first, after many emails and phone calls back and forth, I was told the posted results couldn't be changed to be consistent with the way they had been posted in past years. I mentioned I would be writing/blogging about this. I got a typed letter sent by snail mail soon after apologizing and saying the results would be changed.

At least for now, given that there are no local track events, there aren't any other choices for sprinters. Whether I choose to spend another $3000 to compete at Nationals in Minneapolis next summer, remains to be seen. As much as I love showing that vegans get enough protein, calcium, iron and energy to do this kind of competition, I haven't won the lottery. I did set up a “GoFundMe” campaign, “Send the Vegan to Nationals.” I'm not optimistic.

As for doing the Senior Games in future years, local 5Ks seem way easier on many levels.

Down the Road South Carolina's Top And Largest Races of 2014 Every year Bill Marable, SC USATF representative and state record keeper, selects the top 20 races in South Carolina.

He says they are “based on the overall competitiveness of the runners.” I added the name of the city and the number of finishers to Bill's list of the top 20. What are the top races in your state?

Which leads to an inevitable question; are the top races always the largest races?

You will have to answer that question for yourself, as for me the answer is not necessarily. So every year I like to compile a list of the largest races in my state. Last year (2014) there were 26 races in South Carolina which had over 1,000 timed finishers. That is up two races from the previous year.

When you look back in the past, it was 1979 when the first race in South Carolina timed over 1,000 finishers: that was the Cooper River Bridge Run 10K in Charleston, which was the largest race in South Carolina that year as it has been every year since then. Since there were

1,015 finishers, those of us who ran it thought it was a huge race. Last year there were six races with over 1,000 finishers in Charleston alone.

Last year nine races appeared on both lists; sort of makes you want to run them doesn't it. This year 20 out of the top 20 races used USATF certified courses. Only five of the 26 races with over 1,000 finishers used uncertified courses. I always say, and it almost always turns out to be true: “If a course isn't certified and run on the certified course it will be a short

course.” So if your P.R.s (or best times) are on uncertified courses you can't claim them as genuine since USATF doesn't recognize any records run on uncertified courses.

If you would like a copy of my South Carolina Races Database disk which now has complete race results for 4,903 races, just send me an e-mail with your mailing address and I'll send you a free copy.

It was good to see that more races in South Carolina gained finishers than lost them last year. Let's all hope that our races

will continue to grow in total numbers of races and in number of finishers. If races take care of the runners -- and offer good races and good value, it should happen.

Running Through the Bluegrass Box Services Bring Subscription Treats The one thing that might save the United States Postal Service is the explosion of subscription services boxes.

There's one I'm already hooked on, and one that I may soon be hooked on, and both are ones I think my fellow runners might enjoy.

These subscription box services are all over -- I've seen ones for jewelry, makeup, pet goodies -- and definitely health and fitness. The two I love are Graze, a snack box, and Stridebox, a runner goodie box.

The way these services work is you can get a "box" on a regular basis -- different services have different options, but usually something like weekly, biweekly or monthly. You pay a flat fee and receive an assortment of goodies in the mail. It's like Christmas every month!

Graze was my first experience with one of these subscription services, and it really came as a surprise. One day at work, I received this small cardboard box in my mailbox. It was maybe 8 inches by 6 inches, and less than an inch thick, without much on the outside. Addressed to my then-new married name, I wasn't sure what it was but immediately opened it. (You can imagine how Christmas goes at my house.)

Inside were four single-serve snacks, along with an insert detailing the ingredients and nutrition facts. These aren't typical snacks, either. They're healthy and designed to hit all the key flavor profiles.

It took 36 hours of me thinking I had signed up for a trial of this late at night and forgotten before I asked my husband

By Tracy Green

about it. He said, "You like snacks. I thought I'd send you snacks." So now, every other week, I get a sweet treat from my sweet.

I distinctly remember one in that first box called Jelly Donut, which had some cookie pieces, raspberry fruit strings, white chocolate chips and other bits.

Eaten all together, I'll be darned if it didn't taste exactly like a jelly donut.

Carmel Apple was another hit, with dried apple slices and a carmel sauce that wasn't too sweet.

You can set your preferences, including calorie counts and ingredients (for instance, I'm the only runner on the planet who hates bananas), and you can rate each item you receive -- like, love, try, or hate.

Graze lets you set the frequency with which you receive the boxes, and each box is just $7. You can spend a lot more on way more boring snacks! Visit graze.com to learn more or sign up. You can check out all the snack options on their website.

Stridebox is one I've looked at for awhile but hadn't pulled the trigger on.

I've read reviews and looked at other's boxes, but I wasn't quite sold. I can be kind of picky on what types of products I use, and after working at a running store for five years, there's not much I haven't seen.

But, my family was nagging me for a gift list this holiday season, so I put Stridebox on there on a whim. My sister signed me up, and my first box just arrived.

Stridebox is only sent monthly, and each box contains 6-8 products ranging from apparel, nutrition and accessories.

It includes both sample and full size products.

I received a pretty good mix of items.

A running pouch -- one that goes around your waist, with a stretchy zipper pocket -- retails for more than the cost of the box. This is an example of something I wouldn't really use, but I will hang on to it and gift it to someone else.

Most of my box was nutrition products, three brands I know and one that's new to me. There's a Bonk Breaker protein bar in cookies and cream flavor that I'm excited to try, a peanut butter Hammer Gel (love their stuff, not sure about the flavor), some Muscle Milk energy chews (like Honey Stinger chews), and Zipfizz drink tabs.

The last item in the box was "Paper Shower," which includes a wet towelette and a dry towelette so you can shower on the go. This will definitely go into my gym bag and get tested on a night that I run between the regular work day and an evening board meeting.

Every Stridebox also includes a fun sticker, all for the low price of $15 per box. If you're a runner who likes to try new things, it's a nice way to get a sample box and test things out. Visit stridebox.com for more info.

Graze has been so great several people in my office have signed up. Stridebox I'm not quite sold on yet, but I will likely either sign up for a few more months or, at the very least, remember to read more reviews on past boxes.

THIS RUNNING LIFE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3

Q -- How do you deal with disappointment?

“Disappointment is part of life. Injuring yourself is part of the sport. I just finished 4th at the USA Championship half marathon last weekend in Houston and internally I was under the weather. I was running nonstop and I didn't have time for lunch. But I had to put it in perspective.

On a bad day I still finished fourth. You have to accept the ups and downs as part of life. You know what you can and can't do and sometimes there are disappointments. It makes you a better champion. It's not how many times you fall, but how many times you get up.”

Q -- You have conquered the world's great marathons. What's next for you?

“I hope to make one more Olympic team if I can in February 2016. My career is fulfilled in terms of accolades and achievements. My Boston win was the last one that was missing from my resume, but that one has been done. I still believe in that 5:20 mile I ran in 7th grade and I use it as motivation to fulfill my potential. I am going to give back to the sport that has done so much for me. I'm going to do motivational speaking to businesses, marathon expos, universities and high schools. And help others.”

Q -- What advice do you have for regular runners? Not everyone can win a marathon.

“Not everyone can be an Olympian. But what you can do is live a healthy lifestyle.

I really think running gives you time to enjoy life. Don't wait until the doctor says you need to start exercising. You will be ahead of the game if you exercise.

Nowadays new technology and gadgets encourage people to get outside. Not everybody can be state champions or national champions, but sports can teach everyone about discipline, hard work, goal setting and management of your time. You may not qualify for Boston but what has sports taught you? Setting goals for yourself and not giving up, no matter what.

If anything, Meb is grateful for having running as part of his life, and he is determined to make the most out of it.

“I have been blessed to have many accolades, but for me, Boston was the most meaningful. That fulfilled my purpose as a runner, it was my greatest victory and by far my most meaningful race,” he said.

While no other runner in the world has equaled Meb Keflezighi's accomplishments, we can still strive to be like Meb in how we approach running.

After all, whether we are elite or recreational athletes, sports unite us more than anything else. Meb is proof of that.

Distance Memories The Next Chapter You all know her as Anne Rentz. I've called her 'Chapter One' for the last six years, a reference to Anne as the subject of the first chapter in my book A Passion for Running. The title of Anne's chapter is 'Running for Fun' and depicts the transformation of an admitted couch potato at 40 years of age taking up the sport of running and then taking her life in an entirely new direction; one of exercise, physical fitness and eventually the finish line of a 100-mile race.

Anne's transformation from couch potato to athlete began when she lived in Marietta, Georgia and ventured outside one day for a casual walk. She met up with a group of people who told her they walked every day; they invited Anne to join them. One member of the group was a gentleman who had lived his entire life in Marietta. His name was William Mayfield Cox, Jr. It wasn't long before 'Eagle Bill' became a large part of Anne's life. Friend, coach, mentor … and then 15 years later, husband.

Anne and Bill were married for a little over seven years before Bill's life on earth sadly and suddenly came to an end. The date: January 12, 2015. He was 83 years

By Scott Ludwig

young and only a few months removed from fulfilling his dream of riding the 95 miles of the Silver Comet Trail on his recumbent tricycle. Bill's late-in-life accomplishment is not surprising. At age 55 he suffered a heart attack and his doctor advised him to exercise if he wanted to continue living. Bill took the doctor's advice to heart: He immediately started walking four miles every day, and his commitment to a healthy lifestyle served him well for the next three decades.

Bill lived quite the full life. As Anne's sister Becky said so eloquently at his memorial service, Bill was 'the wind beneath Anne's wings.' He was also:

• President of Cox Printing Company in Marietta for 60 years.

• Little League coach of the Westside Warriors football team.

• President and coach of Custer Park baseball.

• Founding member of the 'Circle of Wisdom' Social Club.

• Member of the First United Church.

• Committed husband, father, grandfather and brother.

Bill's belief in physical fitness and an active lifestyle was exemplified not only by his involvement as a competitor, coach and enthusiast but also through his volunteerism. It was a regular sight for many years to see Bill supporting Anne in her long-distance races of marathon distances or longer while doing all he could to support the other competitors as well. In 2008 Bill earned the Darkside Running Club's Mama Betty Award, a recognition bestowed on the outstanding volunteer of the year.

It is my honor to have known Bill Cox as a friend. I don't ever recall seeing him without his infectious smile, a hat on his head or Anne by his side. As those who know him can attest, Bill was never at a loss for words.

The man loved to talk. He also loved his

family, he loved his country and he loved his 'Chapter One.' My favorite photograph of Bill and Anne is on page 272 of A Passion for Running.

Both of them have smiles on their faces (shockingly, Bill isn't wearing a hat) and cutting a piece of their wedding cake handin-hand. The caption beneath the picture reads 'Bill and Anne, Husband and Wife.'

I encourage you to look at that photograph so you can see the smile on Bill's face. Then you can appreciate something I've always known: Anne was the wind beneath Bill's wings as well.

Running Through the Age Groups A Must-Do Destination Race in Charleston Ahhhh…Charleston! If you've been there, you know; if you haven't, for heavens' sake, GO! And what better excuse to sample some of the nation's finest southern hospitality than a well-organized, perfectlysized marathon (or, in my case, halfmarathon).

Charleston, South Carolina, being about a three-hour drive from my home in Wilmington, NC, has long been a favorite vacation destination for my hubby, Rob, and me. It's basically a really huge version of Wilmington, with a similar southern style and quaintness mixed elegantly with the excitement of a big city. Situated on the South Carolina coast between the Ashley and Cooper Rivers, the city reeks of history, charm and understated elegance. Whether you're a history buff, a foodie, a shopper, a combination thereof, or anyone else for that matter, there is something there for you; for runners, it's one of the most picturesque destinations in the South.

When I discovered the Charleston Marathon and Half Marathon while perusing potential races online last fall, I was delighted; I love any excuse to go to Charleston, and the race was taking place so close to our wedding anniversary, I decided to get a double bang for my buck!

So, I signed up in early fall and planned this as my first real effort at a fast halfmarathon in years. I was gunning for a “comeback PR.” Fortunately, my training went really well during the fall and as the times (and pounds!) headed downward, I was almost too excited to contain myself by the time race weekend finally rolled around!

We arrived at the Meeting Street Inn, circa late 1800's - one of our favorites after braving packet pickup Friday evening.

I say “braving” because the traffic had been unusually bad and we were pretty tired by the time we arrived, and we weren't completely sure where we were going. Once we were all settled in, we went down to the lobby where they serve complimentary wine and cheese every evening. I had my special pre-race dinner which the staff graciously warmed for me. Although I didn't feel I could partake of the wine and cheese pre-race, the relaxing atmosphere in the historic inn was enough to rejuvenate me and ensure a good night's sleep.

On Saturday morning, runners awoke to what was shaping up to be an absolutely perfect day weather-wise. With temps expected to range from the low 40's to mid 50's, it was as though the city itself was working to ensure some fast times. We drove to the start to find ample free parking.

By Mary Margaret McEachern

The course was point-to-point, running from the southern end of Charleston, along its famous “Battery” of historic homes on the river, and straight up historic King Street for a finish in a delightful community slightly north of Charleston.

I absolutely love point to point courses; they are simply more interesting to me and it feels like I've really done something in getting from “Point A” to “Point B.” For spectators, however, these courses often present logistical nightmares. Poor Rob has had to endure more than his fair share of point-to-point course logistics debacles, and I must admit I felt a little guilty making him come out this time. I was quickly relieved, however, to learn that the race offered a spectator shuttle to the finish line, on which we could both ride back after the race; this was a great stress-reducer and one of the many things the organizers of this race did well.

After we got Rob safely coordinated with the shuttle, I did a quick warm-up and we were off! I was really hoping for a fast time and hoping to place in my age group (even

though the race was larger than I had anticipated), so I started right on the line. This worked well because I never felt crowded and never had to break stride; my fellow runners and I quickly found our rhythm at about 7:30 per mile pace, making the start comfortable and stress-free.

The race itself was a delight; there were numerous live music performances along the course and many of these groups comprised extremely talented high-schoolers who were obviously among Charleston's top fine arts students. Their poise was amazing and humbling! There were plenty of aid stations and all had Gatorade as well as water (this is must for me), and but for a mild headwind, conditions continued to be perfect.

I did notice something odd, though; it seemed that my Garmin and those of the runners around me were all beeping mile splits about a quarter mile before the actual mile markers. We learned later that the lead car inadvertently took us down the wrong street which resulted in the course being about a quarter mile long…yikes!! It turned out to be no problem, however, as the organizers quickly remedied the situation by having the course we actually ran meticulously measured and certified in order to accurately adjust times to exacting standards. As a result, runners were able to use the race for Boston qualification purposes. It caused me pause during the race but things felt right and my Garmin was beeping at regular intervals, so I just figured the course was a little long and decided not to worry.

There I am, proudly displaying my “hardware” for Third Masters at the Charleston Half Marathon. This one was taken in the lovely courtyard at the Meeting Street Inn.

11

The last three miles were the most challenging and included a few unexpected hills (really?! in Charleston??), as well as a gravel trail in a scenic park. I was feeling so strong, though, that nothing deterred me!

Almost as soon as I started, it seemed, I was crossing the finish line, and did so in the fastest time I have run since two lung surgeries and three Achilles surgeries over the past two decades! My Garmin said I ran 1:41.29, and my “official” time was 1:42.13, which was a HUGE “comeback PR” for me! I was especially happy to learn that not only did I win my age group, I came in third overall in the Masters category! That was a complete surprise.

The finish festival was a grand party, complete with free beer, free mimosas, and in classic Charleston style, free shrimp and grits! They had live music, art displays, and the awards ceremony went off without a hitch and at the exact promised time. I really love the award I received; it's a beautiful, colorful, whimsical, framed print by a Charleston artist which will enjoy a prominent spot in my home. The race also provided beautiful long-sleeve technical shirts adorned with the same design as the awards.

After the fun at the finish, Rob and I rode the shuttle back to our car, then proceeded to the Meeting Street Inn to start our celebratory evening off with a nice soak in its beautiful courtyard hot tub. We were joined there by some other runners, and even a couple of professional comedians, and I bet we sat in there over an hour sharing “war stories” from the day.

Afterward, Rob and I enjoyed a delightful meal at the open-air “Rooftop Bar,” which is only a short walk from our inn; they have the most amazing views of the city, the river, the Cooper River Bridge and THE BEST tuna tartare EVER! What a wonderful way to ice the cake that was a perfect race and a perfect day!

As we often do on race vacations, we stayed a couple of days afterward. When I run destination races, I generally prefer arranging the trip so that the race happens early; that way, I feel like I can really enjoy the rest of the trip. And enjoy we did; we spent all day Sunday ramming repeatedly through the shops at the famous Straw Market, eating at more fabulous restaurants and just generally indulging ourselves to the fullest.

When it came time to leave Monday, we didn't want to go, but we took solace in knowing we'll be back soon, and we'll definitely be attending the 2016 Charleston Marathon/Half-Marathon. If you're looking for a fun January race to keep you focused through the holidays next year, I highly recommend this one! It's a terrific event in an absolute gem of a setting. A wonderful start to what is shaping up to be an exciting year!

USATF South Carolina Long Distance Runners Of The Year

by Bill Marable, USATF State Record Keeper Michael Banks and Caitlin Judd have been chosen South Carolina Long Distance Runners of the Year by USA Track and Field for 2014. Also chosen were outstanding masters competitors Eric Ashton and Dian Ford.

Opening the year in January winning the Charlie Post Classic 15K in a state record time of 45:55, Michael Banks went on to break two more South Carolina records. This included the 12K at Festival of Roses in 37:08 and the half marathon at Governor's Cup in 1:05:50. Taking this award for a second consecutive year the 28 year old Charleston resident won 14 of 16 races. He not only beat all other Palmetto runners in each event but all other American competitors. Big wins came at the Turkey Day 5K in 14:32, Reindeer Run 5K in 14:29 and Jailbreak 5K in 14:26. At the Cooper River Bridge Run 10K he ran 30:19 to place eleventh. Other fast times were 14:17 for 5K at the Rice Run and 29:55 for 10K at Bohicket Mariana. He did all this despite dealing with exercise induced allergies for a number of years which caused him to stop running in the summer. Once it was found that one of this allergy medicines was the culprit he returned back to normal. In Massachusetts he began his running career as a high school freshman and was state indoor mile champion in record time of 4:11 his senior year. In college at Georgetown University he ran cross country and track earning All-Big East honors. While working on his masters at Georgetown in Sports Industry Management he served as assistant cross country and track coach. Running is in his genes as both his father and mother are hall of fame track runners at Virginia Tech. His mom, Lucy Hawk Banks, was the female winner of the 1979 Turkey Day 5K when she lived in Charleston. Three of his sisters ran for different colleges in the state of Virginia. He contributes Irv Batten, the Strictly Running Racing Team and his family for his running accomplishments. Currently he is the Admission Communication Coordinator at Charleston Law School. In winning this award he was selected over Eric Ashton, Ricky Flynn, Adam Freudenthal and Jay Upchurch.

Winning 12 of 20 races Caitlin Judd finished off the year in December running personal records in capturing her two best victories at Reindeer Run 5K in 18:02 and Kiawah Island Marathon in 2:54:55. The 31 year old physical therapist also scored wins at Beaufort Twilight 8K in 30:03, Rice Run 5K in 18:20 and Floppin' Flounder 5K in 18:04.

At the Cooper River Bridge Run 10K, the Charleston resident, was the top state runner placing 19th in 38:10. In other competitive events she placed fourth at Turkey Day 5K in 18:02, third at Jailbreak 5K in 18:36 and fourth at Governor's Cup Half Marathon in 1:24:19. Outside of South Carolina she went to Eugene, OR and ran a 1:21:56 half marathon. On the lighter side she qualified and participated in the World Beer Mile Championship in Austin, TX where each runner is required to drink a beer for each of the four laps they run on the track. In high school her best sport was lacrosse and since age seven she has competed in equestrian. At Wake Forest University she was on the equestrian team for four years. She did not start running seriously until her senior year of college. In winning this honor a second straight year she praises her coach Irv

Batten for her success and consistent improvement along with the support of Mark Bedenbaugh and the Strictly Running Racing Team. Those runners she won this award over were Erin Miller, Kenzie Riddle, Kimberly Ruck and Michelle Ziegler.

Despite tearing a quadriceps muscle in January which will permanently affect his running, Eric Ashton, was still able to totally dominate masters running in the state. The 46 year old, Columbia resident won the 40 plus division in 22 of 23 races losing only to two non-South Carolina competitors who were five years younger at the Cooper River Bridge run 10K. He still easily took the 45-49 age group in 33:11. Overall he won seven races participating in most of the Palmetto state's most competitive events. Twice he broke the half marathon state age group record in the half marathon running 1:11:53 at Governor's Cup and then five weeks later clocking a 1:11:28 at Kiawah Island. Currently he holds four records in the 45-49 age group with a total of eight overall. Fast times at the other distances were 15:45 for 5K at Reindeer Run, 25:36 for 8K at Snowman Run, 33:10 for 10K at Dam Run to Irmo and 39:34 for 12K at Ray Tanner Home Run. All this was accomplished while working a demanding job as an orthopedic physician assistant. This is his third masters title winning in 2008 and 2011 to go along with 15 open awards won over a 20 year period. This year he decided to give back to South Carolina running by forming an all female racing club called Excellent Athletics. This group is made up of eight of the top runners in the state. The other runners he beat out for this honor were Irv Batten, Larry Brock, Marc Embler and Dave Geer.

With little sign of slowing down, Dian Ford, 59, won her age group in all 13 of her South Carolina races along with being the top masters finisher in eight and the overall victor in two. The Piedmont resident's big age group wins came at the Cooper River Bridge Run 10K in 44:11; Reedy River Run 10K in 42:41; Red, White and Blue Shoes 5K in 20:42 and Run Downtown 5K in 20:41. Her fastest 5K was 20:21 at Paris Mountain Road Race. The Clemson alum set a new 55-59 state record of 33:34 for 8K at TreesGreenville Turkey Day. This gives her four records in that age group and a total of 13 records which ties her with Marge Hoffman for most by a female runner in the state. A mother of four children ages 23 to 33, she now has four grandchildren with two born during the past year. Two of her kids, Tom Ford and Sunday Davis, are her inspiration which makes her drive to run even stronger. Both of them won multiple races during the year and her sister Judy Walls is a top age group competitor. She would also like to thank Jeff Milliman at the Greenville Running Company for help with her shoes. After 37 years she retired this summer as a teacher and now does private tutoring. This is the sixth time she has taken this honor with her first in 1995.

The other contenders for this award were Sarah Allers, Ruth Marie Embler, Darlene Knight and Susi Smith.

A runner must be a resident of the state and a United States citizen to be eligible for this award. Only distance events in South Carolina from 5 kilometers to the marathon are considered.

Learning from the Young Guns Variety is the Spice of Life, and Running When I was younger I would spend most of my runs imagining myself accomplishing the dreams I rarely even had the courage to say out loud: winning a state championship in high school, winning an NCAA national title when I was in college, passing everyone in the home straight to win the Olympic Trials -- those types of dreams.

As I've grown older and my competitive days fade in the rearview mirror I still have those visions every once in a while -- you know, the one where the aging athlete makes a miraculous return and over comes all odds to make the Olympic team. However, more often than not I now find my mind visualizing the athletes I coach having those breakthrough races that put them in the places I always dreamed of being as an athlete. I suppose it's the natural progression of my subconscious? I found it happening recently for the first time in a long time as I was trotting down a winding clay trail in the tall pines of Tallahassee.

There is something about running through the woods that allows my mind to relax and wander in a way it doesn't anywhere else.

Every year we bring our ZAP-Reebok elite athletes down to Tallahassee to get out of the ice and snow in Blowing Rock, and while the training environment is one of the best on the east coast, perhaps the greatest benefit is the energy our athletes take away from being in a new environment. Lack of variety is something that gets most people in a huge rut with their running, both emotionally and physically. A lot of people go out the door and do the same loop at the same pace every run. Not only can this take the joy out of running, it can have adverse consequences for your race performances. One of the things we stress with our athletes is to touch every surface and every speed every week. The variation in stimulus is what allows for continued development as a runner.

My parents both became runners later in life, not starting until they were in their 50s, although they would probably scoff at being labeled “a runner” (that's okay, they live outside the Running Journal region). They stick to a few miles a week to stay in shape, and despite the lack of performance goals my mother tends to develop problems with her back if she runs on pavement too much. I encouraged her to run on some softer surfaces, and lo and behold the problem went away. From a health standpoint we should spend all of our time on soft running surfaces -- grass, dirt, gravel -- as they greatly reduce the impact forces absorbed by our bodies. The softer surface also demands more from our stabilizing muscles throughout our lower body and core. The uneven terrain improves strength and keeps us healthy. Pavement can be a good variation, especially if you compete on the roads as most of us do. Training for a marathon you should spend more than half your time, and most of your long runs, on the pavement. The variation of pavement can be good, but you should try to spend most of your time running on softer surfaces to keep your legs healthy and feeling fresh.

Touching every speed each week can mean a variety of things depending on where you are in your training. For someone just starting out building a base, the faster running should simply be done through strides a couple of times a week after easy runs. Even 6 x 20 second strides a couple of times a week will keep your body in touch with

Since 1984 we’ve

running faster and improve your economy even when you aren't doing hard workouts. As you progress through your training the faster running should build to include tempo runs, fartlek runs, hill repeats, and more. And to be clear I'm not saying do all those different workouts every week -- one is plenty. If you're reading this and thinking, “I have one speed and that's as fast as I can run,” slowing down might be the speed you need to get in touch with.

Easy runs are a critical part of a proper program, and if you find yourself running at near race effort every time out the door you will stifle your improvement just the same as someone who runs very easily every day.

Variance is the key. If you are doing the same thing over and over every day and expecting a different result… well, let's just say that's not the path to running success.

In addition to the numerous physical benefits to adding some hills to your flat routine, strides to your easy days, easy days to your days, or some loops around the local soccer fields; the variety will engage you mentally in a way that will enhance your running experience. It's the big reason CrossFit is so popular. It's the reason most people don't make dinner butonce a week and then eat off it for the next 8 meals (guilty!). And it's certainly part of the reason we've done a winter training camp with our athletes every year for more than a decade. Whatever that change of pace is for you, it may rekindle something that has been dormant for a while like it did for me when I decided to take a trail through the woods and got lost in my thoughts for a while.

Masters Running Running in the Big Races - The Good, the Bad, and the Awesome I asked a few of my running friends whether they preferred the big races with lots of “bling,” or smaller local races where parking might be easier, but the Tshirts are made of old fashioned cotton.

Responses were mixed. Some said they enjoy the excitement that comes with the big races. Everything from pre-race Expos and fancy shirts, to streets lined with spectators who give you encouragement during the race. They will even cheer you on by name if it is printed on your bib! But others prefer smaller, quieter events. Some opt for really laid back and “old school,” and are drawn to trail races and ultramarathons.

What prompted me to ask was that I recently discovered that I would qualify to run in this year's New York City Marathon. I could apply for a time-qualifier slot, based on my half marathon time last year. In my age group (Female 60-64) a time of 2:02 or faster within the past year is needed in order to qualify by time.

Since I posted a 1:57:33 half marathon time in 2014, I could go for it! (In case you are wondering: Yes, you can also qualify with a marathon time. It is 4:27 in my age group.)

Blame it on that I have already run the New York Marathon four times. Or that I hardly ever run anything further than the half marathon these days. Or maybe on that l am jaded from having run too many big races in the past. But I decided to pass on this opportunity. In my mind it is not worth the money and the hassle to run it again. For an out of town runner like me, just the entry fee would be $255. Then there would be airfare and hotel on top of that. And if I did make it to the Big Apple, there would be the logistics of getting to the start, dropping off my gear bag, lining up for porta potties etc., while around 50,000 other runners were trying to do the same. Also, it would not be guaranteed that I got into the race if I applied, since time-qualifier slots are filled on a first come first served basis.

I know that many people, including some of my readers, could probably give an arm and a leg for the opportunity to run in the New York City Marathon. And if I had never run it, I may have tried to get in. Every year their entries, all 50,000 of them, are very coveted. Marathoners all over the world want to be part of this very unique experience. And touring the five boroughs of New York on foot in the company of thousands of fellow runners, with spectators cheering on you the whole way,

By Lena Hollmann RRCA Southern Director

is definitely like nothing else!

The four times I ran New York were all during the 1980s, when there was "only" one third as many entrants as today (about 16,000). But that was still enough to pack all lanes on the top level of the Verazano bridge at the start, and enough for me to have to tip-toe over people when I walked around prior to the event. However, once the race was underway I left most of the crowd behind. At that time I was faster than most entrants, and I was therefore allowed to start near the front of the field.

I also finished ahead of the masses. And the New York City Marathon will always have a special place in my heart, since my all-time personal best (2:44:10) hails from the 1983 event.

I ran in other big races back then also, including the Boston Marathon twice.

Because I was so much faster in those days than I am now, I usually had the privilege of starting near the front, and the leg speed to stay ahead of most of the field throughout the race. I didn't have to zigzag past slower competitors who somehow had gotten ahead of me on the course, and I was among the first to pick up my bag and refreshments after I finished. The exception was Boston the first time I ran it, in 1979. With my 3:12 qualifying time I wasn't able to start in the front of the field. It therefore took me two minutes to cross the starting line, and then another two minutes before I could break into a run. So my 3:09:37 gun time, which was the only official time I got since they didn't have chip timing back then, was a few minutes slower than what I was capable of. But since I was running the Boston Marathon, the crown jewel of all races, I was simply happy to be part of it. (And incidentally, my time was exactly to the second one hour slower than Bill Rogers' winning time that year!)

I have run in a few big races recently also, most notably a half marathon in Houston three years ago, and the Lilac Bloomsday Run in Spokane last year. The

latter was in conjunction with the RRCA Convention. Lilac Bloomsday is one of the biggest races in the country. With over 50,000 participants, it rivals the New York Marathon in size. Many Bloomsday entrants are walkers who stay in the back of the pack. But with so many people there still wasn't much elbow room on the course, even though as a convention attendee I got to start in a corral near the front.

When comparing my recent racing experiences with what it was like 30 years ago, it dawns on me how much things have changed. Races have changed, and so have I! Father time has made me into a middle of the pack runner. So now I get to experience what it is like seeing the bulk of my competition not just before, but also during the race. In smaller races it means I am not as lonely, and in big ones like Bloomsday, it can get downright crowded. When I run in these mega races today, it is for different reasons and with different goals in mind compared to when I run a small race in a local park.

The big races are for the experience, and for the memories. And that can make them quite awesome! When I ran Bloomsday last year it didn't matter that I was running slower than my normal race pace, since I didn't run it for time. And when I ran Boston in 1979 it didn't matter that my official time would have been three or four minutes faster had I been allowed to start in the front row. What mattered was that I was part of something

unique and very special, and the fond memories I now have of these events.

Small races are more comfortable though. If I can use that word when talking about racing, since they still hurt when I'm on that last hill right before the finish line! But getting to the starting line is usually much easier. I don't have to enter the race and commit myself to run months in advance, or hope to be selected in a lottery. Usually I can drive to these races, and parking is often plentiful. They tend to be on out and back or loop courses, so no gear check either. I just leave my warm-ups in my car and go to the starting line! Less pre-race hassle, in other words.

And usually plenty of room on the course too, even for a middle of the packer like me.

But the “biggies” are what we runners are talking about, and what we all want to be part of. They give us experiences to remember and to tell our grandchildren about.

The New York City Marathon definitely belongs to this latter category. So if you are a marathoner and haven't run it yet, go for it. You haven't lived if you haven't run New York at least once!

2015 SPRING

SHOE REVIEW SHOE REVIEWS: MOTION STABILIZING—3 • PERFORMANCE—4 • NEUTRAL—5

The only constant in the sporting goods industry is that it’s not static. While new brands continue to appear, their chances of success have not been great. That said, the odds of success have never been better than they are now, as running specialty stores are gravitating to many of the smaller brands. The reason? Big sporting goods chains want to carry the best shoes that have been vetted by the running specialty stores, and most of the top brands have complied. So, to give customers something special, many running specialty stores have begun carrying shoes from less well-known brands. Of course, that’s what we’ve promoted in these reviews for more than 17 years: The more shoe choices you have, the better your chances of finding one to fit your feet and needs. This spring review features both established stalwarts and some fresh new creations, with innovation and industry best practices thrown into the mix. Categories continue to be refined and address the ever-present need for shoes to meet biomechanical needs, hold up to the forces exerted when running, and optimize a shoe’s performance via shape geometries. Use this guide as a starting point and, if possible, make your first stop a running specialty store to find the best running shoes for you.

Keep running, friends.

2015 Spring Shoe Review Somewhere in my garage in Wisconsin are my first pairs of running and racing shoes. My first pair of real running shoes were Onitsuka Tiger Cortez. It was 1974, and I had just moved to California from Missouri. Over the summer, I ran more than 1,000 miles in that pair of training shoes, eventually reinforcing the heel with a shoe glue product that was popular back then.

My first track spikes were adidas Intervals, a shoe made for racing distances, which I beat up terribly. They started out white, but were covered with mud and such after a few spring races on dirt tracks.

During the spring of 1975, I raced in Brooks track spikes which, if memory serves me well, I purchased at Starting Line from Angel Martinez, who’s now chairman at Deckers. I remember telling Angel that he sold me the first pair of running shoes that I actually paid for myself: $30 that I earned from babysitting and painting jobs. I broke five minutes for the mile in those shoes.

Also in my garage are my old Nike waffle racers from the fall of 1975, which I loved because of their colors—green and yellow. I broke 17 minutes at Crystal Springs in those shoes. It was (and still is) a fine course, back then it was 2.9 miles. Eventually, I used those shoes in a college art project.

Every time I open a new box of running shoes, I experience the same excitement I did when I bought my first pair. In our reviews, we remember that feeling and we hope you feel the same excitement. And, as always, we suggest that you go to your local running store when you purchase running shoes. They don’t want to simply sell you a pair of shoes; they want to fit you in a pair that will make your running enjoyable.

Special thanks to Cregg Weinmann, our RN footwear reviewer; Christine Johnson, RN project coordinator and editor; Kristin Cerer, designer; Marg Sumner, proofreader; and Alex Larsen, production manager, who continue to prepare these reviews for you, year in and year out, since 1998.

Motion Stabilizing Spring 2015

The 2000 series has been a cornerstone in the ASICS running line because of its effectiveness for a wide variety of runners. Round 3 is an update that builds on the strengths of Round 2, while refining its components. The upper features new, lateral no-sew overlays, with stitched medial overlays that provide support while reducing the weight of the shoe. The addition of the Heel Clutch system (adopted from the Kayano) better secures the rearfoot. The midsole employs the same geometry, but the cushioning of the shoe is plusher, thanks to added Gel in the heel and adjustments to the two foam layers of the Fluid Ride system. The stability remains the same, as the medial seconddensity foam (Dynamic DuoMax) shores up the shoe effectively. The outersole has the usual adjustment—here the toe is filled medially, the shank is beefier, and the Guidance line is straighter—all in an effort to subtly stabilize the gait while maintaining both durability and ride. The upshot is that the GT-2000 3 will please fans of the shoe. Its ride, fit, and value earned it our award as Best Renovation.

“Fits well overall, nice fit on the heel. Feels true to size. Pretty cushy, better for long runs than for short, fast training.”

The Ravenna has been a successful franchise for the Brooks line, evidenced by earning a few awards in its time, thanks to its solid focus on stability and cushioning. Round 6 has a flashier new look and the chops to back it up. The upper is open mesh, supported by welded overlays, with synthetic leather at the toe to give it shape. A ghilley lace loop at the saddle continually adjusts the midfoot, effectively securing the foot into the heel, where new linings and foam have a much smoother feel than before. The midsole is twodensity BioMogo DNA, Brook’s proprietary foam, which has a smooth, cushy feel while avoiding the mushy ride that can accompany cushioning. The outersole is full-contact rubber (carbon in the rearfoot, blown rubber in the forefoot) that makes good on the stability that comes with the extra surface. The combination of fit, ride, and great price earned the Ravenna 6 our award for Best Shoe in the Motion Stabilizing category.

“Nice secure fit, does a good job of hugging the foot with a smooth interior. Stable feel and good cushiness to the ride.”

Hoka has a number of shoes that focus on maxing out the cushioning—the brand’s main focus. The Constant is a new shoe to the Hoka line and slots in as a motion stabilizing shoe. The upper is closed mesh, supported by welded suede overlays, that shapes the toebox, locks down the midfoot, and reinforces the eyestays. The tongue is asymmetrical, wrapping from the medial (inside) side to support the midfoot, and a TPU clip anchors the heel. The midsole is a combination of EVA and RMAT foam. A unique stabilizing second density of the RMAT pushes into the arch, while the rocker geometry and flare of the forefoot stabilize the foot at the late stage of the gait. The outersole is a full-contact design. A ring of rubber around the perimeter opens on the lateral side, and toughened EVA and RMAT fill the open areas. The Constant brings cushioning and stability to recovery days with more focus than Hoka has brought before.

“Good snug fit, but with enough room up front.

Gives good support and has a great feel. Really provides nice cushioning while still feeling stable and responsive.”

Now in its fifth iteration, the 860 remains the moderate stability shoe of the New Balance line, here with good updates from top to bottom. The closed mesh upper has welded overlays in the forefoot and a strip of synthetic leather shaping the toe. The midfoot is anchored by a lace/strap in the saddle, and stitched rearfoot overlays secure the heel.

A new asymmetrical heel counter bolsters the medial side without overbuilding the entire heel. The midsole continues with the two-layer setup introduced in Version 4, but with new tooling that offers better flexibility and contouring. The outersole is Ndurance carbon in the heel and blown rubber up front, each contributing its strength: durability and cushion. The improvements point to better performance, which is good news to New Balance fans and another choice for runners in need of more fit options.

“Felt secure all around. Room for my toes and the heel was well supported. Solid shoe for plenty of training.”

The Hurricane is the most vaunted shoe in Saucony’s running lineup; its update brings changes, some big and some minor. The upper is an open mesh with welded overlays.

More significant, however, is the new ISO fit system: a saddle of fingers that wrap the midfoot and adjust as the foot moves to offer a better fit than previous versions. The midsole has new geometry. It still features an 8mm heel-to-toe drop, but with a more substantial crashpad and a taller stack height for more cushioning. The outersole is little changed, but two things have been addressed. First, the medial heel outersole has added rubber beneath the second density of the midsole for stability. Second, the medial forefoot has a release groove at the first metatarsal for better flexibility at toe-off. These changes have increased the performance feel of the shoe. With its fit, ride, and stability, the Hurricane ISO has been upgraded from a very good shoe to an even better one.

“Love the new fit! Nice and secure, flexes well, stable. I have been really impressed with this update.”

Running Journal • March, 2015 PERFO RM ANC E adidas adizero Tempo 7 Boost

The Tempo has been a reliable Performance shoe choice: It’s great for faster running with a touch of stability. The addition of Boost foam in this version is welcome news and constitutes a step up. The upper is completely redone: now open minimesh with traditional synthetic suede overlays and a new saddle design to anchor the midfoot. The tongue, employing a stretchy fabric, is gusseted to prevent it from slipping side to side.

The midsole is full-length Boost foam topped by a layer of EVA that’s thin on the lateral side, but forms an enclosed medial forefoot (called Stableframe) to stabilize the foot. The outersole is full-length Continental® rubber that’s thin, flexible, and durable. The sum of these parts equals another effective execution of the Boost technology and another versatile option for runners in need of solutions.

“Fits snug, but roomier than expected. The Boost midsole has a lively feel to it. Comfortable on my long or fast runs. Definitely a well-designed shoe.”

Ampla is a new brand, perhaps a catalyst for something different, as they’ve introduced a new technology. The upper is a closed micromesh, supported by welded overlays, that is close-fitting like a racing shoe. The midsole is two layers: a softer layer near the foot and a very firm layer near the ground. The technological shift—and the visual difference in the shoe—resides between the layers, where a carbon fiber shank sports a flange that protrudes below the sole, appearing to hang toward the ground. When running, the shank’s stiffness keeps the foot lined up while the angle of the sole acts as a proprioceptive cue to move the foot strike to the sweet spot. Internally, the carbon fiber extends to the big toe to encourage an efficient toe-off. The outersole is tough carbon rubber at both the heel and toe, and softer rubber where the flange contacts the ground.

While the effect is a faster feel, the shoe is really designed for neuromuscular training.

The label on its tongue says it all: “Stop not running right.”

“Snug overall, like a racer. The midfoot is stiff and holds my foot in a forward position that feels fast.

Running in it seems to train the foot so it can improve my running.”

With shoes designed to accommodate the 33 joints in the foot, the 33 series has been the most nimble of the ASICS running lines. The new 33 FA features the latest version of the Fluid Axis geometry first introduced in the Gel Lyte 33. Here it features a 4mm offset from heel to toe. The upper is open mesh with soft, sueded overlays that are welded for a smooth interior. The structure is minimal. The midsole is two layers: a Solyte cradle near the ground and a new compound, AmpliFoam, that sits atop the cradle near the foot.

While the AmpliFoam’s cushioning has been superior, it needs more structure, hence the cradle. The outersole is AHAR, ASICS’ abrasion-resistant rubber compound, which spreads over the shoe in pod-like segments. The rest of the sole is toughened foam. The outcome is a shoe that’s excellent for faster running, strengthening, and even as a regular training shoe to rotate into your routine.

“It has a very flexible and comfortable upper. I like the way the shoe flexes and moves with my foot. The flexibility of the toebox makes it very comfortable, almost slipper-like.”

At one time the Launch was nearly squeezed from Brooks’ line, but its attributes earned it a second chance. The Launch 2 is wholly new, its name and purpose the only constants.

The upper is open mesh, supported by welded overlays, and a synthetic leather toe bumper shapes the toebox. The interior is smooth, thanks to Lycra linings in the heel and tongue areas. With its visually appealing, vibrant colors, the two-tone mesh also allows the forefoot plenty of space, while snugging the midfoot securely. The midsole is Brooks’ DNA, so it’s well-cushioned without mushiness, protective yet responsive enough for faster running. The full-contact outersole is a combination of carbon rubber in the heel and blown rubber in the forefoot. The Launch 2 is an effective training shoe that’s light enough for faster running, yet durable enough for the long haul.

“Great snug fit from the heel to the arch, with a wide toebox, I love it! Good cushioning, but it runs plenty fast. I trained in it on all kinds of runs, and even a few races as well.”

New Balance has been pushing the innovation envelope with its Fresh Foam; the new Zante falls on the lighter and faster end of the spectrum. The upper is an open minimesh, with welded overlays, stitching kept to a minimum to do the job in the least restrictive way. The saddle is fashioned from a stiffer mesh, with minimal structure in the heel so it’s almost nonexistent. The lacing eyelets have been decoupled to both better secure and move with the foot, and the tongue is gusseted to keep it in place.

The midsole is 6mm geometry, combining cushioning and structure into the midsole where needed. The outersole is full-contact, with low-profile, hexagonal lugs molded for traction in the forefoot and contact in the heel. The blending of performance, cushioning, and economical price earned the Fresh Foam Zante our award for Best Shoe in the Performance category.

“Fits like a racer, and is light enough to be a race shoe, but cushy enough to be a day-to-day trainer.

It has been a great performer, and has a key spot in my shoe lineup.”

Newton Distance IV

The Distance is Newton’s lightest training shoe—what they describe as a speed trainer.

Round 4 retains the geometry established across the line with the various Point of Pressure platforms; here it’s the POP1 configuration. The upper features different meshes in the forefoot and rearfoot, employing the same open mesh as the whole Version 3, but here only in the rearfoot. The vamp and tongue feature a new, closed mesh with less give to it, welded overlays, and a small toe bumper giving shape and a little structure to the forefoot. The midsole features the same 2mm geometry, cushioning, and performance as before. The outersole is also unchanged: rubber over the lugs and toe, the rear section just toughened foam. What results is an effective update, keeping what worked and nudging the progress forward with some upgrades.

“Good, roomy toebox, and they fit true to size.

The heel counter is stiff and supportive. The lugs are noticeable until a few miles into the runs, but they do work.”

Saucony has introduced a variety of effective performance shoes. The Breakthru is the first to feature the 8mm geometry of many of its mainline training shoes. The upper is a closed mesh with both traditional and welded overlays, and tailored for a good fit for a broad range of feet. The midsole is a blend of well-cushioned EVA and a full-length of Powergrid that adds snappiness to the ride, extending its effective range in the process. The mostly segmented outersole is lightened by the “missing” segments. The effectiveness of the shoe can be summed up this way: good durability and a smooth ride at a reasonable price.

“Nice, roomy forefoot with a no-nonsense heel and midfoot fit. Not super cushioned, but they can really handle the mileage—and they don’t weigh a lot either.”

The Zealot is the third of three shoes equipped with Saucony’s ISO technology, which is designed to provide a more secure fit. The Zealot is for faster running, while its brethren are for cushioning and for stability. The upper is closed mesh with welded overlays, and the strap-like ISO fingers adapt as the foot moves. The tongue is gusseted to allow the upper to conform to the foot without the tongue slipping from side to side, contributing to the excellent fit. The midsole is fairly firm, leaning toward the responsive end of the cushioning spectrum, rather than cushy, although it’s flexible enough to avoid a stiff feel. The outersole is segmented, which contributes to the shoe’s flexibilty. The traction is good, as is the sole’s durability. Its blend of clever design, responsive cushioning, and adaptable fit earned the Zealot our Best New Shoe award.

“The sheath-like construction is snug, and the eyelets on the lacing system are separate, allowing variable adjustment along the length of the foot, which makes for a good fit. Very nice on road and dirt. The tread pattern suits all types of running.”

Skechers has overcome some barriers with its serious approach to performance, and it’s been enhanced by the successes of its signature athletes. The GoRun 4 makes a quantum leap without abandoning its genetic roots, always a dilemma when updating a shoe. The upper is a step forward, with closed mesh, sublimated graphics, and welded overlays that contribute to an improved fit and updated look. The midsole features the same 4mm geometry, with a new midsole shaping that offers a better ride, while the midfoot’s new second density results in a better feel. The outersole is still largely toughened foam (the small round rubber buttons remain in the heel and forefoot), and the midfoot features larger rubber pods that have improved durability. These changes have upped the game of the GoRun, significantly improving what was an already good shoe.

“The stretchy upper flexes well with the foot, snugs up pretty well, and has enough support. The ride is pretty smooth and fast, worked well for my faster running. It has been a good shoe to reach for in my rotation, for a ‘kick up the pace’ run.”

NEUT RAL adidas Supernova Glide Boost 7

Neutral Spring 2015

The Supernova Glide 6 Boost proved to be a versatile, durable, and practical use of the new Boost technology. It maintains the effective chassis while turning its focus on the upper. The new upper has two aims: aesthetics (which are nice, but don’t affect performance) and fit. The new fit is effective, especially in the women’s shoe; the uppers in the male and female versions are different. In both, the stretch mesh flexes well and is also breathable without feeling too breezy in cool conditions. Minor tweaks to the overlays and saddle also do their parts in enhancing the fit. The effective midsole is unchanged: Boost foam topped with EVA to spread and stabilize the bounce. The outersole is the thin layer of tough Continental® rubber over the length of the full-contact bottom that has been so effective for grip and durability. The ride, durability, and value earned the Supernova Glide Boost 7 our Best Shoe award for Neutral shoes.

Running Journal • March, 2015 N EUT RAL Mizuno Waverider 18

With any shoe, the goal is to please as many runners as possible. Consumer concerns about Round 17 have informed effective changes to Round 18. The upper construction has returned to a former technique, and the fit is better tailored in the midfoot: snug in the arch/instep with plenty of toe room. The midsole is firm but fairly flexible in the forefoot. A new polyurethane insole softens the feel a bit, but the firm ride is noticeable.

Increased toe spring both allows the foot to roll better through the gait and gives the shoe a more responsive feel. The outersole is unchanged. X-10 rubber in the heel and bevelled pods on the lateral forefoot smooth the transition. Overall, the shoe is a few grams heavier, but the fit, ride, and feel are more familiar to the franchise, so fans who didn’t love the 17 may recognize much in this version. Recent converts should also be pleased.

“Fit was good: roomy in the toes, snug heel, no friction problems. The ride was very firm, but the cushioning was pretty good. The shoe rolls well with the foot.”

The Fresh Foam Boracay is the update to the Fresh Foam 980, a combination of a new foam formulation and application of geometries by New Balance. This round focuses on nudging each area forward to arrive at a better product overall. The upper (an open mesh in Round 1), is now a closed but breathable airmesh that’s supported by a thin framework of welded overlays. The toe is surprisingly well-supported even without a toecap, the eyestays feature self-adjusting eyelets, and the neoprene tongue and foam ankle collar provide a plush, interior feel. The Fresh Foam midsole features the same 4mm geometry.

The sidewall cells have been altered to stabilize the shoe medially, while the lateral side cushions and directs the foot. This is possible, in part, because the one-piece, full-contact outersole (which is unchanged) allows the gait’s path to be chosen by the foot as the sole flexes to accommodate. The fit and ride have been elevated a notch, and while not for everybody, fans and future fans will find a lot to like.

“Really comfortable shoe to put on. It fits well— snug where needed, roomy where needed. The run is very smooth and lively for a cushion shoe.”

The Cloudster was introduced as the third model for On, a durable, high-mileage shoe with basic credentials. Round 2 keeps the chassis, while adding some zing to the rest of the shoe. The upper is closed mesh in the rearfoot, and stitching reinforces the heel counter and midfoot. The forefoot is a unique, four-way stretch fabric that adjusts with the foot without squeezing or irritation. The midsole is compression-molded EVA foam, with 7mm geometry—fairly firm—but it acts more as a platform for the “clouds” (the outersole lugs). The Cloud technology of the outersole provides the unique ride here; it varies with each runner’s stride, as the clouds compress and grip the teeth of the interior surfaces.

The addition of the stretch upper, combined with the proven midsole/outersole setup has succeeded in providing a responsive shoe that can manage high mileage with ease.

“Feels light on the foot, lighter than it actually is.

The fit is very accommodating, the stretch of the forefoot never restricts the foot, just supports it.

They were great for my longest runs—really held up well.”

The Triumph is Saucony’s flagship neutral shoe, so it’s fitting that it’s the model to debut its new ISO-fit technology. The upper is wide open mesh that’s supported by welded overlays, but the central focus is on the ISO-fit system, independent plastic fingers that replace the eyestay and flex with the foot to hold the midfoot firmly, though without discomfort. The tongue is gusseted to keep it from slipping sideways and causing irritation. The taller midsole has an additional 3mm of cushioning in the stack height without affecting heel-to-toe drop, which holds steady at 8mm. The full-contact outersole is a combination of carbon rubber in the heel and blown rubber in the forefoot. That’s similar to the previous version, but with additional release grooves to provide the foot with more freedom to flex at toe-off. The success of the update will be judged at the cash register, but the technical accomplishment has been, yes, a triumph.

“A sheath-like fit was great, even without the ISO-fit, but the flex with the foot made them even better. The ride was cushy enough that they became my mileage monsters.”

The new Gemini builds on Under Armour’s growing collection of shoes with molded textile uppers. This one is aimed at the runner who looks for deluxe cushioning. The upper is (very) open mesh and supported by welded overlays at the sides of the vamp that secure it to the heel. A thermoplastic toe bumper shapes the toe and gives the outersole an anchor point. In the back is an external thermoplastic heel counter. The midsole is charged foam, well-cushioned with two resilient densities that combine to provide a responsive ride. The outersole is full-contact—carbon rubber heel, blown rubber in the high-wear portions—and open areas along the length are exposed, toughened foam. The form fit is snug, so some runners may want to size up a half-size or more. The bounce, fit, and responsiveness make the Speedform Gemini a new shoe that’s worth serious consideration.

“They fit OK, but seem to run a little small. The cushioning is better than I’ve tried with Under Armour, I think they have it pretty well dialed-in.

It was a good shoe, but I think it will probably get better.”

Jessica because you never forget your first marathon and for Emily and Meagan because you certainly never forget your first BQ! I hope to have the privilege of sharing their first Boston Marathon experiences with them in 2016.

For Space Coast Marathon: Mission Challenger, I learned something and was able to celebrate in the awesomeness of othI would never try to run a marathon with ers. Mission accomplished. a cold again. That is the main thing I learned. Despite being sick, my consistent Rae Ann Darling Reed is a Masters runner, quality a USATF Level 2 and RRCA certified training did get me through 18-20 good running coach, and part of the Brooks miles. So for my second time using the Inspire Daily program. Follow her on Hansons Marathon Method, I can say with- facebook.com/runnergirl out a doubt that it does work. or twitter: @runnergirl Now for the good part. I was blessed to be part of a weekend of much to celebrate.

My husband finished his second half marathon and set a new PR. Jessica, one of my former MHS cross country and track stars, finished her FIRST marathon in an amazing 3:36:19 and finished fifth in her age group. I am so incredibly proud of her.

Just for the record, when she ran for me in high school, I knew she would be amazing at the half marathon and marathon distances. Wait, there's more. Emily qualified for Boston and finished second in her age group with a 3:27:34 in just her third ever marathon. My friend Meagan qualified for Boston and finished third in her age group with a 3:32:01 in only her second marathon ever. She improved from a 3:58:56 in January 2014 to a BQ just nine months later.

She has gotten so incredibly fast!

While my race did not go so well, I do reflect positively on the 2014 Space Coast Marathon. I am so proud of and excited for everyone who did have amazing races. For

Space Coast Marathon: Mission Challenger As the 2014 Space Coast Marathon was approaching I was excited for it for a number of reasons. My training had gone extremely well. I had followed the Hansons Marathon Method even more closely than my first time trying that training method.

I had a few successful tune-up races along the way. In October was the Tower of Terror 10 Miler where I finished as Masters Winner and only a minute off my 12 year old PR then there was the Bill's Beer Run 5 Miler where I broke a 10 year old PR on the same course where it was originally set.

In November there was a new challenge in the Paris Mountain 16K where I was the overall female winner and discovered what mountain running was really all about.

Finally about two weeks before the Space Coast Marathon, I won the X-Country 30K trail race and achieved my goal of setting a new Masters course record.

Sorry to list a bunch of race results. My point is not to brag about running accomplishments, but rather to show how well my training went and that I felt confident going into the Space Coast Marathon. I also had lots of friends from home who were racing so I was very excited for marathon weekend and then to write about it all!

This would be my third Space Coast Marathon ever and my second in The Big Bang Series (2013-2017). I signed on for

By Rae Ann Darling Reed

the Intergalactic Challenge of five races in five years to earn the cool special medals in addition to the regular finisher medals which are quite spectacular.

I will get right to the point. I got sick. I rarely ever catch colds or flu but whatever I had hit me hard on race weekend. In all my years of running, I have never been sick like that on race day so I was unsure what to do.

I decided to start the race conservatively and just see what happened. Despite being sick I felt pretty good through mile 18. I felt comfortable and was on a good pace. Once I hit 20 miles it was like someone flipped a switch. My body was done. I started slowing at mile 21 then it was all downhill from there. I continued to slow until I had to walk. I walked several miles, thought about dropping out, but decided to finish. I had to pick up my Challenger finisher medal!

In my work as a Sport Psychology Consultant, I constantly work with athletes who are really stressed over their chosen sport, not only professional athletes, but recreational athletes as well. It seems as though they are burdened by their sports instead of enjoying them. Instead of feeling pleasure, positive self-worth, and love for their sports, more and more athletes seem to be worried, anxious and frustrated. It just seems sad that what should bring joy brings stress.

Just think for a few minutes why you run. Maybe fitness, health, socializing, competition, sense of achievement etc., are just some reasons you run. But when you take all the reasons you run and boil them down into one thing, isn't that one thing really about having fun? You run because it is an enjoyable experience! How can an enjoyable, pleasurable activity like running, become a stress inducing, frustrating, worrying, and sometimes depressing experience?

Not to say that all runners are stressed out over their running. Most are super happy about running and really, really enjoy their running. But wouldn't it be great if all runners felt the joy of running on a consistent basis, like when they first go into running? We all know the feelings of exhilaration that running brings, so bringing about these feelings more often is a worthy goal, both for runners and sport psychology consultants. So just how can we make running fulfilling, positive, and just plain fun again?

Maybe the answer to the previous question lies in determining just why running becomes a stress inducing activity for some runners in the first place. It's safe to say that running doesn't simply become a stress inducer in a single day.

Sure, some running days are better than others, but rarely do you just wake up one day and feel stressed or frustrated over your running. Such feelings may arise over a long period of time, months, maybe even years. Attitudes toward running may change with experience. These attitudes may be influenced by training partners, friends, coaches, and possibly what is read about running on-line and in print.

What began as pure fun may have now morphed into so much more. There are times you must achieve, overall and age group places in races, competitions begin with other runners, miles per week are tracked, heart rate is monitored, diet becomes paramount, and on and on. Internally, you begin to put pressure on yourself to run faster and faster, run more miles, not eat this or that, run more races and even spend more and more time on auxiliary exercises like core work and functional flexibility. Running has become more than a hobby or fitness activity. In some cases running has become an all encompassing obsession or psychological addiction. While the words addiction and obsession may be a bit strong, at the very least, running can begin to consume more and more physical and emotional energy. There is no doubt that hard work and dedication are critical to becoming the best runner you can be, but where is the line crossed and what was once just plain fun, now has become the only source of personal gratification. The line may be when running has become a form of personal identity.

When running becomes your identity it becomes a direct reflection of who you are as a person and, as such, when running is going well you feel good about yourself, but when running isn't going well your self esteem suffers. If you run races, then a poor performance really hurts your ego and you might feel like a failure as a person, but if you

By Richard Ferguson, Ph.D.

have a good race you feel super personal pride and very worthy as a person. This type of pressure can lead to high levels of anxiety, constant worry and an up and down roller coaster of emotions, all based upon how you perform in a race. The constant pressure you put on yourself can make running become a huge stressor instead of a stress reducer and source of enjoyment. The constant pressure can lead to a vicious negative cycle with stress and anxiety leading to poor performance, which leads to negative emotions, which decreases performance further, with more negative emotions and on and on the whirlpool goes.

So what can you do to maybe decrease the pressure? Just think! Maybe just get back to the basics and think about the real the reason you began running and actually why you still run: it should be FUN! Think about it, when something is genuinely fun you enjoy it, feel really relaxed and you are free to just do your best without any expectation of a result.

What a novel idea! Put less pressure on yourself, have more fun and your running will improve, just what you were looking to do when your were putting all that pressure on yourself. So put running into perspective and think about it with a more rational attitude. Running is not life or death; its fun! If you have been putting a lot of pressure on yourself for an extended period of time (months, years), it may take awhile to change your way of thinking, but just constantly remind yourself of the reason you run -- it should be fun!

Now this doesn't mean you stop training hard or working hard to be a better runner. It means you take a different view of now to become a better runner and enjoy it more. Putting pressure on yourself is a mindset. Having fun is a mindset as well! Sure, you do your best in training and racing, but learn to enjoy the process regardless of the results. Savor good performances and learn from poor ones, then let the poor ones go. Don't carry around that mental garbage in your head! Do your very best and appreciate that type of effort, because your best effort is all you can give.

If your running has turned into a stressor, constantly remind yourself why you began running and why you're still at it. More than likely you will come to realize that you started running because it was fun and you keep at it because it is still fun. Lower the pressure on yourself and get back to mentally relishing running as being simply fun.

In reality that is the real reason we run!

Exercise is medicine. That was a key messages highlighted at the 2014 Annual Meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine. Given that two-thirds of Americans are either overweight or obese, and that healthcare costs (to say nothing of quality-of-life costs) are staggering, we need to figure out how to turn this ship around. This article highlights some research by ACSM members related to diet, exercise, weight, and health. The info will hopefully remind you a wise food and exercise program is far better than taking medicine.

• To lose weight, you need to create an energy deficit. But is it true the less you eat, the more weight you will lose? No. A big slashing of calories poorly predicts how much weight you will lose because your body adapts to perceived “famine” conditions by conserving energy.

In a three-month study, young, healthy women were given a diet to lose weight. One diet had a moderate (-400) calorie deficit; this group lost six pounds in three months. The other diet had a severe (-850) calorie deficit; that group lost only eight pounds. This was far less than predicted and related to a drop in resting metabolic rate. The body's ability to conserve energy is quite powerful! If you want to lose weight, plan to chip off just a few hundred calories at the end of the day, rather than starve yourself by undereating all day.

• Men who want to lose weight should not crash diet. They will lose not only muscle but also testosterone (a muscle-building hormone). In a three-week study, soldiers ate a high protein diet (3 x the RDA; 2.4 g pro/kg/day) but underate calories by 40% below the amount needed to maintain weight. While the very high protein intake helped counter loss of muscle, it did not maintain testosterone levels. Remember: chipping off a few hundred calories is preferable to chopping off a thousand. Two fewer cans of soda or beer a day can make a difference in weight!

• Are dieters better off eating three small meals plus three small snacks - or eating the same amount of calories but in just two meals? For two weeks, obese middle-age women ate calorie-controlled packets of food either two or six times a day. Either way, the subjects reported being hungry. Eating six smaller meals did not appear to improve appetite response. So take your choice how often you want to eat, being sure to keep the total calories within the budget.

• Many dieters drink coffee for breakfast, swearing it curbs their morning hunger pangs. Yet, a study with 12 subjects reported no differences in appetite (and subsequent food intake) when their breakfast and mid-morning beverages were 1) water, 2) water+caffeine, 3) decaffeinated coffee or 4) decaf+caffeine. At lunch (4.5 hours after breakfast), the subjects reported similar amounts of hunger and ate similar amount of calories, regardless of their caffeine intake. The coffee did not effectively curb their appetites.

• What happens to food intake when healthy college men who exercise regularly are told to sit for 10 additional hours a week for eight weeks? They eat less! At baseline, the subjects ate about 2,600 calories a day (47% carb, 18% protein, 32% fat). When they were told to be more sedentary, they intuitively ate less than baseline. They chose the same foods, just smaller portions. Only one of the eight subjects ate more than at baseline. The moral of the study: If you get injured and cannot exercise, your body can naturally desire fewer calories. The trick is to listen to your body's cues, not tempting food ads on TV! • Exercise can impact not only weight but also the kinds of microbes that grow in the gut. In mice, the kinds of microbes dif-

fer by 40% between sedentary lean and obese mice. Even mice made obese by a high fat diet - but allowed to use an exercise wheel - had a lean phenotype compared to the sedentary obese mice with no access to the exercise wheel. The exercised mice had distinctly different gut microbes. We need more research to understand how exercise impacts gut microbes in humans and how those microbes impact metabolism and weight.

• Many lightweight rowers have to drop weight during in-season training. Does this hurt their rowing? Likely yes! A study compared the 2K erg performance of seven heavyweight and seven lightweight candidates for the US Rowing National Team in December (off-season) and July (in-season). Compared to the offseason, the heavyweight rowers improved their VO2peak/fat-free mass while in-season. The lightweight rowers did not. The dieting rowers decreased total body weight by ~4.5 pounds and body fat by ~1%. They lost about two pounds of lean muscle. They rowed slower in the simulated 2,000-meter rowing test. The researchers recommend that lightweight rowers try to maintain their required weight throughout the year, so they can focus on performance during the season. Easier said than done...?

• Female athletes commonly have low bone mineral density. Is this related to their being light in weight? Having low body fat?

Less muscle? A study of 44 female D-1 athletes (from cross-country, tennis, basketball and soccer teams) suggests that bone mineral density significantly relates to muscle mass. The more muscle, the better the bone density. Keep lifting those weights!

• Does very slow walking (one mile/hour) on a treadmill desk offer any health benefits? Yes. In a study, 32 college students consumed 300 calories of glucose and then either 1) remained sedentary for two hours or 2) for two hours, alternated walking on a treadmill workstation for 30 minutes then sitting for 30 minutes.

The results suggest even very slow walking helped with blood glucose control. Any exercise is better than no exercise. Being sedentary is deleterious to health.

• The older we get, the less we move. Regular leisure-time exercise patterns drop from childhood to adolescence and become unacceptably low in adulthood. Is this decline related to changes in reward pathways in the brain? Researchers need more information to unravel the genetic pathways that affect exercise behavior.

But before too long, we may get personalized strategies, based on our genes that will increase our lifelong desire for exercise. Stay tuned!

Deflategate and Running

By Bob Dozoretz We have all heard way too much about the New England Patriots allegedly deflating footballs in cold weather games so they would be easier to throw and catch. The investigation is ongoing. However Brady, Belichick and the Patriots appear to be innocent.

Cheating is nothing new in sports, even in ours. Drugs are still turning up in world class runners and possibly always will be. I personally was cheated on by a runner who cut a course short just to beat me and 'win' a pair of shoes, and some runners literally cut corners.

Yes, they are cheating themselves and our sport, but after all the accusations prior to the Super Bowl, I may have stumbled on some grey areas to, shall we say, gain a competitive advantage!!

When I was working at the running store, Reebok came out with an inflatable running shoe - seriously. It

had an inner bladder and a small button to pump air in to have the shoe mold to your foot, and it worked, just didn't sell too well.

What if I pumped in helium? A well cushioned, supported lighter than air shoe! Damn, what a concept! I'd make a fortune and all legal!

Why stop there? Lightweight shirts, heavy duty, warm, and again, lighter than air! Yes, I'm on a roll now!

Doubt I will get into shorts, tights or capris. What happens when you sit down, or worse, have a puncture? Way too much liability.

Like the hat idea. Large bladder molded to your head, insulated material, helium keeping your head upright.

Sounds great to me.

Now there may be NFL trouble for deflating footballs, so there must be something we could deflate to gain a competitive advantage.

Got it!

Simply locate your competition, verify they are wearing BIG clothes [ Bob's Inflatable Gear] covertly remove a pin attached to your bib, line up directly behind them, and, well, you know.

Just keep looking over your own shoulder.

THIS IS NOT A SHOE.

THIS IS AN INVITATION. TO GO

LONG. TO GO FOR THE MILE REPEATS. TO GO FOR THE RECOVERY DAYS. TO GO STRIDE IT OUT. TO GO IT ALONE. TO GO WITH THE FRIENDS WHO DEMAND AS MUCH OUT OF EACH MILE AS YOU DO. TO GO BECAUSE THERE ISN’T ANYBODY WHO CAN TAKE IT AWAY FROM YOU WHEN YOU’RE DONE. TO GO BECAUSE YOU CAN. DESIGNED LIGHT, STABLE AND WITH SUPERIOR CUSHIONING, THE BONDI 4 INVITES YOU TO GO FURTHER THAN YOU DID YESTERDAY. TO GET FASTER FOR TOMORROW. LET’S GO.
