Distance Memories Times Have Changed but Running is Free My first official pair of running shoes cost $5. They weren't one of the top brands at the time-Nike or Onitsuka Tiger were the ones costing the big bucks - but they were honest-to-goodness running shoes. I bought them at Marty Liquori's original Athletic Attic store in Gainesville, Florida.

My first official race entry fee Leonardo's Lap, a five-mile event sponsored by a local pizza parlor in Gainesville - cost $3. There was pizza and beer at the finish line and a really cool race T-shirt that I proudly wore for many, many years.

My first Gatorade cost nine cents. It came in a 32-ounce glass bottle and was available in two flavors: Lemon-lime and orange. Drinking Gatorade made me feel like an athlete. Not just an athlete, but a runner.

The year was 1978. Running was fun.

Running was simple. And without a doubt, running was inexpensive. The most expensive running item at the time was a lifetime subscription to Runner's World that could be purchased for $200.

Times have changed and boy-oh-boy how the cost of running has changed.

Let me start with a $169 pair of running shoes that the manufacturer would have you believe makes you 'fly.' If you believe what a manufacturer would have you believe - that running shoes should be retired every 500 miles or so - every three miles you run in them will cost you $1, thus making a car or truck a more economical mode of transportation than running. (By the way, it's not uncommon for me to put 2,000 miles on a single pair of shoes.)

Then there's the high profile marathons held in the major cities that will set you back several hundred dollars just for the price of admission. Then there's the possibility you'll need an airline ticket (have you priced airline tickets lately?), lodging (some of you may have noticed how local hotels raise their rates when runners come to town) and any other incidentals (dining, memorabilia at the marathon expo, post-race celebratory drinks) you'll be inclined to spend your hard-earned dollars on (experience tells me runners in general have a propensity to be loose with the purse strings when they're caught up in the atmosphere of a major race).

I've seen running shorts that cost as much as a pair of Nike or Onitsuka Tigers used to cost. Actually, it's more like three

By Scott Ludwig

times as much.

Don't get me wrong. If you're comfortable spending that much money on running shoes, running attire and race entry fees -- AND if you can afford it, then more power to you. I can't tell you that I didn't spend a pretty penny on the like myself over the years but I can tell you the time has come for my running and my wallet to come to an understanding.

I buy last year's running shoes when the shelves are cleared off to make room for this year's models so last year's are sold at rock-bottom prices. I'm very selective in the races I run and as a general rule of thumb I stick to the low-key races that offer affordable entry fees, volunteers that make you feel appreciated, and the personal satisfaction that I am more than just a (bib) number. I wear running shorts until the elastic around the waist band begins stretching out instead of pulling in.

I don't need shoes that make me feel like I can fly. I refuse to spend money on an entry fee that could otherwise be spent on groceries that could feed my family for several weeks. I don't care if the shorts I'm wearing made their debut over a decade ago.

Don't fall prey to following the masses.

Don't buy the latest, greatest pair of running shoes because everyone else is buying them. Don't feel obligated to spend your children's inheritance to run an event simply because 'that's what all the cool kids are doing.' Be your own person because after all, that's a large part of what makes you a runner.

Running isn't about wearing the most expensive shoes, the latest attire or the trendiest gadget (does anyone really believe a device can tell you how many calories you burned?). Running isn't about spending several thousand dollars to run 'the' race … and 'the' race after that and 'the' race after that.

This may come as a surprise to some of you, but running is not about spending

money, but rather more about … freedom.

All you need is a comfortable pair of running shoes, attire that is suitable for the conditions and a wide-open country road or a secluded trail where you can run free.

Free of the desk where you spend more than 40 hours a week. Free from the stress that consumes every waking hour other than during those precious moments you spend alone with your thoughts on the open road. Free from everything you want-and need to be free of.

I've spent my fair share of money on supporting my running habit over the years. I'm now at the point in life where the most rewarding runs are those that begin in my driveway and end at my mailbox. Sometimes I'll splurge and drive to places to get in a run in some of my favorite locales. The Hawthorne Trail in Gainesville, Florida. The rolling country roads through the horse farms of Kentucky. The trails along the Atlantic Ocean in Virginia Beach. Just because there isn't a medal draped around my neck when I finish my run doesn't mean it wasn't an amazing experience.

Every single one of my runs is rewarding because all of them end exactly the same way and is what makes me want to keep coming back for more.

I cross the finish line. And it doesn't cost me a cent.

Running Journal • April, 2015

Learning from the Young Guns Boston Breakdown You're shuffling nervously among thousands of runners, being herded into your starting corral to await the crack of the gun that will begin your 26.2 mile journey By from Hopkinton, MA, to Boylston Street in downtown Boston. The 26.2 mile jour- Ryan Warrenburg, ZAP Fitness ney could be from anywhere to anywhere, it could be your first marathon or your 20th, but today it's the Boston Marathon.

The energy of the thousands huddled at the start and tens (maybe hundreds) of thousands along the course combined with the make even the most experienced culmination of months of preparation can marathoners come unraveled a bit standing in that corral. You enjoy taking in the experience, but remind yourself to focus on your plan and how you are going to execute the race in front of you. Wait, race plan, what race plan?!?

Let's back up, you've still got a few weeks, and whether it's the Boston SUMMER 2015 CAMP DATES: Marathon, the Wenatchee Marathon in Washington State or anything between, it's time to start thinking about your race plan. The Boston Marathon is a great illustration of how the course can influence your preparation and race execution, so let's look at the breakdown of the Boston Marathon.

I'm a huge proponent of running even to negative splits from the first half to second half of a marathon. Running the first 15 miles a touch slower than your goal pace is a great way to ensure a strong finish and to avoid crossing the line that can cost you minutes over the final 10K if it goes the wrong way. However, Boston is a unique course in that in the first 16 miles you lose over 400 feet of elevation. This might not seem like much over 16 miles, but I assure you that your quads and calves will beg to differ, especially when you start climbing up the Newton Hills.

The trick to managing those first 16 miles is to make sure you don't run them too fast, an easy mistake to make in the early stages of a marathon, especially when you're running downhill.

the next 5 miles are the legend of Boston, the Newton Hills. If you set yourself up well the first 16 miles and have done a good job of getting on some hills in your long run you're going to be fine up the hills. It is important however, to realize that even if you're feeling good at 16 and excited to attack the hills, you need to approach them with caution. You will be tempted to charge up them as the first hill is preceded by the steepest downhill of the race, but the series of four hills requires patience and focus. You will work hard through here, make no mistake about it, but you need to get to the top of Heartbreak Hill with running left in your legs, as you still have 6 miles to run once you crest out just after 20 miles.

After mile 20 is where your early patience will pay off. After Heartbreak it is mostly downhill to the finish, which will give you a nice breather coming off the hills but will put your legs through a test they'll need weeks of callousing and a smart race plan to endure successfully.

But you've put in weeks of hard work, and you've read this far so you're golden! It's easy to overlook these final 6 miles and really struggle home so get to the top of Heartbreak ready to race. The final 10K you need to think about keeping your repetition of foot strike high and your feet underneath you. Let gravity be your friend and avoid the instinctual braking posture you often see in downhill running, you know it: the feet out in front of youhips forward-shoulders back biomechanical nightmare we all become if we aren't paying attention. Pay attention and turn what can be a course that's brutal on your body to one that can be, when run correctly, surprisingly quick.

And most importantly, enjoy the run down Boylston Street into the finish.

Whether you're having the race of your life or struggling home, (which you obviously won't be since we've established you're fit and have a great plan!) savor the trip down Boylston Street because when you make that turn and the road opens wide, and the Boston skyline surrounds you, that's a feeling you can't prepare for.

The start of the race will be crowded.

And because there is no way around this fact, you're best to stay relaxed over the first 9-10 miles until the road will open up a bit. Boston does a great job of starting you where you qualified, so even if you're hoping to run a bit faster you should be surrounded by people running about the same pace you are. If you qualified much slower than you're attempting to run then you will have problems, but you're still better off running with the pace of the pack during the crowded opening miles, even if it leaves you with a little time to make up after 10 miles. It's not worth the energy you'll spend bobbing and weaving and stopping and starting to make your way through the sea of people surrounding you. The road will open up, and while it might not be ideal, you're better off waiting until you have room to run instead of burning precious energy zig-zagging across the street.

The first 3-5 miles you should spend easing yourself into your goal pace, and unlike a flat course, you'll want to target goal pace or even 5 seconds per mile quicker than goal pace after those first few warm-up miles. On a flat course you'd want to target being 30-90 seconds slower than goal pace at halfway, but at Boston you'll want to be at goal pace or up to 45 seconds faster than goal pace at halfway. As you're rolling your way down to the 16-mile mark think about running with your feet landing underneath your hips. The common mistake people make in downhill running is to extend their feet out in front of them and lean their shoulders back in a braking motion. This will increase the pounding force on your legs and leave your quads shot the final 10K of the marathon. Think about keeping your repetition of foot strike high and that will help keep you from over striding and ZAP Fitness is a Reebok Sponsored nontrashing your legs on the downhills.

Running Through the Age Groups UNCW T&F, XC Have Lifeline, Help Needed

By Mary Margaret McEachern

In follow-up to my article in the February issue, I am happy to report that due to the tireless efforts of some very dedicated individuals, the UNCW Track and Field and Cross Country Programs have been extended a lifeline.

In an almost unprecedented move, UNCW's interim Chancellor reversed his decision to cut the programs and has allowed our grassroots organization, “Save UNCW Track,” some time to raise funds needed to save the programs.

Chancellor Sederburg, in a recent statement, “applaud[ed] the incredible passion, commitment and staying power the running community has shown in support of the [programs. This group] very well may be able to secure enough private funding…to sustain track and field for the 2015-16 season and renovate the track facility to a suitable level for intercollegiate competition”.

The following goals have been agreed upon between Save UNCW Track and the university administration, and the associated timelines need to be met in order to ensure continuation of the program: 1) $250,000.00 in hand by 31 May 2015; and 2) at least $800,000.00 (target $1 million) in hand by 1 February 2016. Fundraising needs will be minimal thereafter and for the foreseeable future due to the fact that the money being raised by February will cover the necessary renovations to the track facility.

Save UNCW Track is taking this responsibility seriously; if the above goals are not met, then UNCW's running programs could end permanently. As of this writing (March 1), Save UNCW Track already had over $38,000.00 in hand. Of vital importance to the success of these goals is to keep this issue at the forefront of the running community. I have always held the philosophy that - while we will certainly seek out corporate and larger donors - the real power comes in securing a large number of small donors as strength comes in numbers.

With that said, we need the running community and track and cross country supporters locally and nationwide to raise the necessary funds in order to sustain the UNCW programs. If we are able to succeed, other collegiate running programs suffering similar questionable futures could possibly be saved.

Please take the time to visit http://www.saveuncwtrack.com/ for regular progress reports. You can also click on the link to donate. It's super-easy and can be done by credit card. If you previously made a pledge, the site allows you to convert it to an actual donation. No donation is too small, and if - for any reason - our goals are not met, the money is returned to the donor; there is no risk that it could be used for purposes other than our specifically stated goals.

We are seeking help not only from individuals, but from businesses, road races, fundraising events, and other educational institutions in order to help us meet these goals. These include USATF member groups, Track Town USA, Sports Illustrated, Runners World, the Today Show, the Ellen Show (yes, we're trying to go national!), conference officials, NCAA officials, track alumni from any high school or collegiate program, fundraiser races, running shoe stores and other participants in the running industry -- running clubs, local businesses, race directors and timing companies.

I am sure that extolling the benefits of running to a bunch of runners might seem like “preaching to the choir” to some, but here are a few points to ponder as stated in the Mission Statement posted by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Association: • Our participants represent both men and women, are racially diverse, and represent a range of body types; • Our sport demands a wide range of athletic aptitude including speed, strength, stamina, suppleness and skill/coordination; • Our sport is founded upon the most basic physical principles - run, jump,

throw; • Our competition is pure in that it pits individual against individual while taking place in the context of a team scoring background; • Our sport covers a large age spectrum ranging from youth to the Olympic Games; • Our sports teaches its athletes life lessons that transcend their time in the sport; • Our sport creates great athletes and heroes; • Our sport epitomizes the nation's goal of promoting healthy lifestyles; and • Our sport stands at the forefront of promoting and demanding a drug-free lifestyle.

rigorous training and head-to-head competition while being taught and motivated by professionally qualified coaches and administrators.

As I stated in my previous article on this subject, running and competing at the collegiate level literally defined me as a person; I cannot imagine where my life would be had it not been for this valuable experience as a collegiate athlete. As one observer has eloquently stated, “Track and field [particularly] is that one sport where a person's body type, weight and height don't really matter. You simply find the event that fits you the best.

“While watching, literally, thousands of kids compete in …t rack and field events these past few months … I have witnessed hardworking boys and girls of every race, class, creed, height, weight, body size, and all on the same track. On a cultural level, it's…really inspiring. Track and field is the true American melting pot of sports.”

(Omar Tyree) On behalf of Save UNCW Track, I want to thank you for reading this and for anything you can do to help in this effort. I would also welcome any questions or suggestions you might have to help us in this quest, so please feel free to e-mail me at any time. Thank you again, and Happy Running!

Track and field is the oldest, purest, and most diverse sport in the NCAA. The student-athletes who participate represent the core values espoused by the NCAA and its member institutions - academic integrity, social responsibility, gender and racial diversity, competitive excellence, and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle. The ath- Mary Margaret can be reached at letes learn valuable life lessons from the mmmceachern@bellsouth.net

Our collegiate athletes

need your help!

The T& F-XC program at UNC-Wilmington will be terminated after spring season unless $250,000 is raised by May 31st.

Help save this invaluable program, and the track, which contributes immeasurably to the well-being of student-athletes and local fitness community.

This Running Life Runner Crossing NC to Support Fallen Heroes If you are a fair-to-middling runner who is out of shape and can barely run 5 miles, do not try try to keep up with a determined man who is training for a 620-mile run across an entire state, even when he is dragging an automobile tire behind him.

Dave Cockman of Cary, NC is an ultramarathon runner who has completed more than 40 ultras, and most recently wrapped up a granddaddy of ultra-running events The Grand Slam of Ultra-Running, consisting of four of the oldest 100 mile trail runs in the United States, in one year.

The "Slam" includes the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run, the Vermont 100Mile Endurance Run, the Leadville Trail 100-Mile Run and the Wasatch Front 100Mile Endurance Run. Two years ago, Dave hatched his most audacious goal yet - to run across North Carolina in a single, continuous ultramarathon.

He will set out on his epic journey in Murphy on Saturday, April 4 and continue across the state, following Highway 64 until he arrives at Jenette's Pier in Nags Head on April 17. To celebrate, he has registered for the Outer Banks Flying Pirate Half Marathon in Kitty Hawk on April 19. Dave needs to average at least 50 miles a day to meet the challenge and reach his goal.

A little more than a month out, on March 8, Dave is optimistic, even though he has been running just 50 miles per week in training. He is coming off a St. Patrick's Day 8K in downtown Raleigh, a fun run for him.

A trail marathon he had planned to run earlier that day in Umstead State Park in Raleigh had been cancelled due to poor trail conditions after weeks of rain, snow and ice had wreaked havoc on the terrain.

On the first morning of Daylight Savings Time, the sun is casting long shadows across the compacted gravel bridle trail at Umstead, which has started to dry out. Dave is preparing for a 14-mile training run pulling a tire, and straps a brown leather belt around his waist. A rope, attached to the back of the belt, is secured to a used car tire through an industrial strength eye-bolt screwed into what is left of the tread.

He points to a pair of sturdy braces on both knees, and explains why he settled for a five-mile day after the trail marathon was cancelled.

“I have an inflamed achilles, so I decided to take a little break and just do the fivemile race,” he says.

For Dave, limiting a daily run to just five miles is huge, and he realizes he still has a long way to go to ready himself for his 620mile odyssey.

“It is important that I run as many miles as possible, every day,” he says. “I need to

stress my system out and get my system used to the mileage.”

He is starting to increase his mileage to 70 per week, and plans to continue ramping up as he gets closer to his start date.

A small handful of runners have traversed the state in recent years.

Dan Phillips of Greensboro devoted every weekend for three months to his across-thestate trek to raise money for the No Child Hungry Fund in 2013. He carved up the 650-mile journey from Murphy to Wrightsville Beach into marathon-distance chunks, running 52.4 miles for 12 weekends until he reached his goal.

Bob Weeks of Asheville ran 444 miles, all the way to Wilmington to raise money for the Wounded Warriors Fund in 2012.

In 2010, Matt Jenkins of Boone started his journey in Manteo to raise money for the Western Youth Network of Watauga County.

He headed west, taking a 760-mile route to Murphy. Running barefoot and pushing a baby stroller full of supplies, he made it all the way to Franklin when a copperhead bit his foot and stopped him in his tracks at mile 672. After five days in a hospital recovering, he went back to the spot where he was bitten and picked back up, running the final 88 miles and finishing in Murphy on a date that fit the occasion. It was Friday, August 13.

United States and for severely wounded military personnel and veterans.

“I plan to run wearing two flags - an American flag and the flag of the Intrepid Wounded Warriors Fund,” Dave says.

He also plans to have some fun along the way, using a camera to document his adventures. He is looking forward to visiting some places made famous by Scott Mason, a local broadcaster who reports on North Carolina's treasures, landmarks, and noveltys in his “Tar Heel Traveler” series, which airs frequently on WRAL-TV, a Raleigh station.

“I'm going to visit Johnson Hamburgers in Siler City, and the Roast Grill in downtown Raleigh,” Dave says. “I can't wait to hit up the Sunnyside Oyster Bar in Williamston, and I'm going to visit the site of the famous Possum Drop in Brasstown.”

While many runners might have a hard time wrapping their minds around a 620mile run across an entire state, Dave is already thinking ahead and setting new goals.

Next year, he plans to complete the Grand Slam of Ultra-Running again.

He also wants to run the Mountains-tothe-Sea Trail, a 1,000-mile trek from the North Carolina-Tennessee border to the Outer Banks. And he wants to beat the record Diane Van Deren set in 2012, when she completed the distance in 22 days, 5 hours and 3 minutes.

Dave spent six months hiking the entire Appalachian Trail in 2006, but someday he hopes to run the 2,160-mile distance over two months. He would love to run across America, but doesn't have the time or money for an adventure of that scale.

He works as a technical support engineer for the Consert line of Smart Grid home energy conservation equipment, and he reports his workplace has been supportive of his athletic endeavors, even helping his fundraising efforts.

“My goal is to keep pushing myself until the day I die, to keep finding new challenges, and prove they can be accomplished,” he says. “I just want to prove it to myself.”

He turns and sets off on his training run, slowly at first, dragging his tire behind him.

His brisk walk becomes a slow jog, and his feet quicken as he picks up his pace. The tire kicks up a few loose rocks and a small cloud of dust as he rounds a curve and disappears into the forest.

Runners are welcome to join him at any point along the route from April 4 until April 17.

It is Matt's run that has captured Dave's imagination. He has reached out to Matt and hopes the two can join up for a few miles along his journey.

Dave, 57, has been a runner most of his life, starting when he was in middle school.

In addition to his 40 ultras and the Grand Slam, he has run 57 marathons, including Boston. He is a member of the 50 States Club with just five states to go before checking the entire nation off his to-do list: New Mexico, Idaho, Washington, Alaska and Hawaii.

Running across North Carolina has been on Dave's bucket list for several years, but his motivation to actually do it came after he completed the Tuna Run from Raleigh to Atlantic Beach in October 2013. The run is designed as a weekend relay involving teams of up to 12 runners, but Dave ran the entire 200-mile distance by himself. It took 70 hours.

“The Tuna Run was a precursor to running across the state,” Dave says. “I wanted to see what it was like to run on multiple days and to see how tough I was. I felt great afterwards, and I believe I have more in me.”

Dave plans to complete his statewide run by himself with no official support. He will carry a small backpack containing a change of clothes, a few snacks and a liter of water.

Since he will be traveling through small towns and cities along Highway 64, he can purchase anything else he needs along the way. He will arrange to pick up a new backpack every 200 miles.

His overnight stops are in Murphy, Hayesville, Highlands, Brevard, Lake Lure, Morganton, Statesville, Lexington, Siler City, Cary, Rocky Mount, Williamston, Columbia and finally Nags Head.

He's looking for support from those towns and others, as well as running clubs and chambers of commerce along the way.

Already, the mayors of Highlands and Lake Lure have offered to welcome him and are arranging for local runners to accompany him through their towns and counties.

Various sponsors, including Chafex Micro-Layer Skin Care, Altra Zero Drop Footwear, All Out Sports and the Nog Running Club of Raleigh have signed on to sponsor him. In addition he's accepting donations for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, a leading wounded veteran's charity.

As passionate as Dave is about running, he is just as passionate about North Carolina's war veterans.

Begun in 2000, and established as an independent non-profit in 2003, the Intrepid Wounded Warrior's Fund has provided more Teri Saylor runs and writes in Raleigh, than $150 million to support families of N.C. She can be reached at military personnel lost in service to the terisaylor@hotmail.com.

February was a rough month here in Kentucky. Nearly every school district missed an entire week of school when we were hit with anywhere between 6-12 inches of snow, followed by ice and then followed by windchills in the -15 to -25 range. Not what I consider ideal training weather, but with a marathon looming at the end of April, sometimes you just have to make things happen.

However, making those things happen also made me feel a little crazy. My gym, Baptist/Milestone Wellness Center, has an indoor track - something like 11.5 laps to the mile, although they have it posted as 11 - but unless I'm just 30 seconds per mile faster every time I run on it, I think my calculation is more accurate. This track has been my home a lot the past few weeks, and I am questioning my sanity because not long ago, I thought anyone doing more than a mile on that track was crazy.

Apparently, I am crazy.

I hate doing intervals on the treadmill, so my first crazy day on the track was to tackle my 6x800 workout. I decided that we would just call 6 laps an 800 and hope the pace was about right. 6 laps on, 3 laps easy, quick drink of water (the air in there is so dry), repeat. I did my warm up and cool down on the treadmill, but on two different machines in different parts of the gym.

A couple of days later I had 10 miles with 8 at goal marathon pace. Back to the treadmill. I watched almost an entire movie while getting that done. Those treadmills limit your time to an hour, so I reset the machine after 6 miles - and then it was like I was just doing 4 miles! Mind games, really, and that's all that's keeping me going.

Things kept getting crazier. Sunday I had 12 miles easy, and it was 30 degrees and raining/sleeting. No thanks. A friend met me at the gym and we started on the track - 2 miles, then a water break, then 2 miles. Then we switched to the treadmill for 2 miles, then 1 more on the track. She was finished after 7 miles, so I walked her down to the locker room and hit my mental reset button. I really wasn't feeling the treadmill, so I went back to the track for more sets of 2 miles with

breaks. After 5 more miles on the track I expected it to get boring at some point, leading me back to the treadmill, but it didn't - I was finally done. All told, I ran 137 laps on the track. One hundred and thirty seven. And I didn't even hate it.

I asked my running friends how they had coped with the weather, and got some lame responses - “slept in,” most notably - but got some good ones as well.

One friend training for Boston logged 19 miles on the treadmill. She's also a screen-coverer - puts a towel over the display - which I can't fathom. I pretty much stare at the distance ticker the whole time, which may be why I am so bad at treadmill running.

The friend that joined me at the gym lives in Lexington, and she found a hill on the University of Kentucky campus that had been cleared, and used that rare patch of asphalt to do hill repeats.

A member of our New Balance Louisville racing team found a 1-mile cleared loop by his house and did 10 miles hard on that.

Everyone has their own preference for dealing with bad weather - some of us turn to inside and some “drink some suck-it-up juice” like one of my other teammates and hit the roads. As long as the work is getting done, though, it's getting done. Here's to warmer weather and spring racing!

Masters Running Meet my Fifty Year Old Companion - The Running Log! It's hard to believe, but it is now more than 50 years since I ran competitively for the first time. It was a 100-meter race at a youth track meet, organized by a local running club in Sweden. For me it was the start of an activity that would become a major part of my life, and which I am still pursuing today.

Much has changed since that summer day in 1964. The distances I run, friends I run with, what I wear, and how I train, just to mention a few examples. But through all these years I have had one constant companion: My running log.

It has of course also changed, and taken many different forms and shapes over the years. From a tiny pocket calendar, to a fancy log with pictures and quotes by Jim Fixx (and later Marty Jerome), to a form that I developed and copied, and back to a regular calendar, although now a little bigger and better. Sometimes my log was very organized, with specific fields to enter each detail of my run (mileage, pace, weather, who I ran with, etc.), and at other times it was more “freestyle.” But I have always logged in my runs the old fashioned way, i.e. with pen and paper. I have never tried any of the electronic versions that I know are available today.

After so many years I have now accumulated a whole box of running logs. I used to refer to them quite often, comparing my current race times with the same race in previous years, and interval times from week to week. I would check how my mileage fluctuated from year to year.

And maybe most of all, I would refer to my logs when I got injured. I would look into what I might have done that triggered the injury. Had my mileage gone up a lot?

Did I do several workouts that were harder than usual, or did I deviate from my normal routine in some other way? If it was a minor injury that allowed me to run most of the time, I could sometimes figure out what might have caused it to flare up again.

Recently I have referred to my logs less frequently. I still record my races and training runs, but only on rare occasions do I look at old logs to check race results or modify my training pattern. Keeping a log is now more like one of those habits that have become part of me and I can't let go. And I still want to have a record for future reference, for example if I want to train for another marathon, or when injury strikes.

Then I got curious - Do all my running friends also keep a log? Even those like

By Lena Hollmann RRCA Southern Director

me, who have been running for years and now run mostly for health and fitness?

Are my friends using some fancy online software, or are they old school like I am and stick to pen and paper?

I did a very informal survey on Facebook, and everyone who responded said they were keeping a log of some kind. Almost all said they are still keeping a paper log, so I was happy to discover that I am not the only one logging in my runs the old fashioned way. Many are keeping a calendar with pictures, like the Sierra Club Calendar or the above mentioned “Complete Runner's Day-By-Day Log Calendar” by Marty Jerome. A couple of people created their own forms, which they print out every week or month.

A few rely on spreadsheets, although one friend said the spreadsheet format did not give her enough room to record the detail that she wanted. And some just use a simple notebook that they picked up in a drugstore of office supply store.

And what did my friends say they recorded in their logs? Except for mileage and pace, the most common answers were weather, where they ran, and who they ran with. Plus any injuries that came up or were nagging them. A couple of people said they also recorded their weight. And a few were recording shoe mileage on an Excel spreadsheet.

Then there are those who use their log in creative ways and jot down many interesting things beside the run itself. John Farrow of Albuquerque, NM, records wildlife sightings during his runs. And it must be quite exciting to run around Albuquerque! John mentioned that he had logged sightings of a great horned owl in a nest with her chick, porcupines in trees, a beaver in a drainage ditch, and a coyote with a freshly killed rabbit. He has also spotted bald eagles cruising over Rio Grande several times.

My own log is now just a simple paper calendar, and usually I only note for how long I was running and approximate

mileage. Sometimes also place and weather, and any nagging injuries or excessive soreness (although I have been fortunate to not have many injuries recently, knock on wood!). I also note what days I do weight training at the gym, or any other cross training, including fitness classes that I teach. But I don't write down my weight training in detail in my running log - I have a separate log for that.

During much of my competitive years in the late 1970s and the 1980s, I had the “Complete Runner's Day-By-Day Log Calendar” by Jim Fixx, and after his passing the similar calendar by Marty Jerome.

I loved the pictures and the essays, and that I had plenty of space to record my workouts. But as the years went by and I ran less than I used to, I found myself with more space in the logs and less on my shelves. So I switched to a smaller log.

Sometimes I picked one that I got for free with magazine subscriptions or at race expos, otherwise a simple all-purpose calendar that I bought.

The logs kept piling up, as they do for any runner who has been in the game for a while and wants to keep a paper trail of their workouts. The older we get and the longer we keep running, the bigger the stack of logs will be. And we must find a place to store them all. I keep mine (except for the most recent) in a box. But if you still refer to your logs maybe you want to keep them where they are more accessible, for example in a bookcase.

Or on your computer! It surprised me that hardly anybody in my very unscientific survey was relying on an electronic log. But then it dawned on me that everyone who responded was at least 40 years

old. Masters runners, in other words!

Which leaves the question unanswered whether younger runners rely more on a paperless log than we masters runners do.

There are pluses and minuses with each format. An electronic log means less clutter, which in turn leaves more space in our bookcases for all the great running books that are out there! However you need a computer or other device to access it. And depending on how your log is stored and recorded, if the power goes out or your hard disk crashes, you may have lost it either temporarily or permanently!

Maybe the most common reason why so many of us are still relying on paper logs is that we are creatures of habit. If you are over 40 years old and have been running since your college days, the electronic log was probably either nonexistent or in its infancy when you got started.

Many of us got used to keeping a paper log and kept this habit.

In the final analysis, we will all do what works best for us. Paper log, electronic log - or no log! And whether we refer to it or not, each log is a unique and fascinating story. A story about joy and triumph, and sometimes also about agony, frustration and defeat. A story about a runner's life, on and sometimes also off the roads and trails.

So let's keep those logs going folks!

The American College of Sports Medicine (www.ACSM.org) is the largest sports medicine and exercise science organization in the world. ACSM members strive to advance the science of exercise. Their research, presented at ACSM's Annual Meeting, offers the latest information to help you reach your athletic and health goals. Last month, I reported some of the weight-related research presented at ACSM's 2014 Annual Meeting. This month, I'm sharing some fueling and training updates that might be helpful.

• Does it matter if you eat quickly- or slowly-digested carbohydrates (with a high or low glycemic effect, such as candy vs. oatmeal) before you run? Likely not. A review of 21 research studies suggests the kind of carbs eaten preexercise have no clearly defined benefit on time trial performance or on endurance time to exhaustion. The bottom line: Eat what seems to work best for your body.

• Experienced CrossFit subjects who had a pre-workout drink (40 calories plus caffeine) had a significantly better workout compared to when they had the placebo drink (no calories, no caffeine) 20 minutes before they worked out.

They did 503 vs. 477 repetitions of pull-ups, push-ups, and squats in 20 minutes. Fueling before you exercise has benefits.

•Caffeine is known to enhance exercise capacity, helping some runners more than others due to genetic differences. A study with self-reported “caffeine sensitive” students (who typically drank less than a cup of coffee a day) indicates preexercise caffeine helped them work harder during an exercise test, in comparison to subjects without a certain gene.

• Pre-exercise beet(root) juice has also been shown to help runners postpone fatigue and increase endurance. It can enhance both low- and high-intensity aerobic performance, but it does not reduce muscular fatigue during 30 seconds of intense anaerobic exercise. Regardless, beets are a wise addition to the sports diet of all athletes.

• Would combining pre-race caffeine with beet(root) juice offer even more performance benefits? Apparently not; a study reported no synergistic effects.

• If a runner cannot tolerate fuel during hard exercise, some research suggests swishing and spitting a sweetened beverage can help boost performance. Receptors in the mouth send a message to the brain that helps the athlete keep working hard. Yet, a study with endurance-trained cyclists found no benefits with swishing-spitting during a one-hour time trial. The results were similar whether or not the subjects had fueled before the exercise test or had not eaten since dinner the night before. Still, no harm in trying to figure our what works for your body.

• Chocolate milk is a popular recovery choice that offers both carbohydrates to refuel depleted muscle glycogen stores as well as protein to help repair muscles. But should you choose non-fat or full-fat chocolate milk? Doesn't matter, in terms of recovery benefits. Choose the milk you prefer based on your taste preferences, overall health and nutritional needs.

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

• Replacing sodium losses during and after exercise can play a role in preventing electrolyte imbalances and aiding rehydration. But the sodium concentration in sweat varies widely from athlete to athlete, so how can a runner tell how much sodium he or she loses? To establish normative data, researchers collected sweat from 474 athletes (ages 9 to 63 years) representing a variety of sports. The average sweat sodium concentration was 1075 milligrams/liter; with a range from about 200 to 3000 mg/L. With this information, researchers can now collect sweat samples and then classify an athlete as having a low, average, or high sweat sodium.

More easily, a salty, post-run crust on your skin suggests you likely have a high sweat-sodium level!

• Both training and genetics affects fitness. Identical twins had consistently similar results on fitness tests for handgrip strength, explosive strength, flexibility, and balance. In contrast, fraternal twins (with different genes) had differing test results. Did your parents do well by you?

• To build muscle, most trainers encourage athletes to do 8 to 12 reps at 70 to 85% of one-repetition maximum. Can lifting lighter weights for more reps offer muscle-building benefits? Unlikely. Untrained people lifted heavy weights for 32 workouts. When they switched to lighter weights with more reps, they lost muscle. Keep lifting those heavy weights!

• While High-Intensity Interval training (HIIT) is known to enhance fitness, compliance is debatable - especially in untrained people. Would moderate-intensity interval training be a more acceptable alternative, and produce better training adaptations than “boring” continuous exercise? A study with inactive college females compared 20 minutes of continuous treadmill walking at a moderate pace vs. 20 minutes of alternating faster and slower walking. The subjects preferred the continuous exercise, reporting they would be more likely to stick with the easier program. The E in Exercise should stand for Enjoyment!

Ultra Running

Florida Races Enjoy Great Weather Aged We've seen and heard many amazing stories about how snow wreaked havoc and mayhem all over the US. Several stories related how on some days, every state had snow except for two: Hawaii and Florida.

My husband and I, both former TV reporters from Miami and elsewhere, discuss how all the network newscasts now have one or more weather reporters and an entire weather segment which often leads off the news. Some pundits have demanded that the networks connect these stories more directly to human-caused climate change. If you've watched the movie, “An Inconvenient Truth,” and understand the science, then you understand that the increase in snow is right out of the movie's playbook.

Whether you agree with that or not, at many races I notice more and more snowbirds lamenting about conditions they've escaped from back home. In recent months, Florida overtook New York as the third largest state. This weekend, there were four 5K races to choose from within a 20 mile radius of my home. It wasn't all that long ago that I struggled to find one every month.

Part of the availability of many races is the fracturing of running clubs. In the Bradenton area, there used to be just one running club, “The Bradenton Runners Club.” A group split off from that to form Suncoast Striders. Running stores discovered that by having training runs with goodies to go along with that, they could attract more runners to their stores. Some even started sponsoring and organizing races.

Running clubs, run only by volunteers, didn't have the resources, especially financial ones, to organize races the way businesses could. Within the past five years, some savvy folks have formed timing companies to pick up where the running clubs left off. The president of the Bradenton club left and started his own club, Suncoast Striders, and now has his own timing company, S2-Timing. His and other timing companies have really stepped in to fill a timing and race organizational void.

All the video of snows brings back memories of trying to keep running through winters. The “Snowball Series” kept runners doing 5 5Ks from December through February. What a contrast to the race I chose today, “The Orange Blossom Festival 5K.” Held at the legendary citrus groves in Bradenton, the ad said it would be a cross-country course through the actual groves. Looking for any race that avoids concrete, the idea of running

By Ellen Jaffe Jones

through fragrant-filled orange blossoms had me at “go.”

It was as promised. The hairpin turns around the groves were no surprise, but I was surprised that the groves were way more sand than dirt. Since I run on the beach most days, this presented no problem. No PRs were broken, but I managed to get my 83rd age group award since 2006, something that never happened in the hilly, snowy North. Ever.

A nice employee insisted on giving me a full bag of pink grapefruits. Total nirvana.

They even had free grapefruit and orange juice for the runners. Beyond cool. My parents, who wintered here, used to order from Mixon when they had to return North. When my folks went into assisted living, I ordered the fruit for them. I'm pretty sure they were smiling down from heaven today.

Florida is a runner's paradise. Flat, for the most part, and ideal to keep up training all year long, there is nothing to complain about. In the recent spectacular inaugural Sarasota Music Half Marathon (the city now has two half marathons), there were full-piece orchestras at the top of the majestic bridge into Sarasota and another at the beautiful Selby Gardens we got to run through for the first time ever in a race.. Lots of other music, as billed, decorated the course. Not one to pull out my earbuds easily, that race enticed us to unplug.

The numbers in all the races, and the plethora of races to choose from now, once again makes it clear: this is definitely an indication that the snowbirds are moving here in droves. Where I live on Anna Maria Island, sometimes it takes us 30 minutes to get from our house to the grocery store, which should only take five minutes. A small price to pay to live in Paradise. I know most of us wouldn't have it any other way. Gotta run.

Ouch…umphhhh…ahhh…g ronk.

Those are the sounds of a man running straight into ... old age? Ouch is right! I, who have always (and still do) embraced my youth am turning 60 soon. I will have done so by the time many read this.I don't know how 60 is supposed to feel.

I remember Bernd Heinrich showing up at Lake Waramaug, after years away from ultra-running, after he turned 60 (he was actually 61). He ran an impressive 50 mile in 6:39:55 which I believe is still the age group record. I guess I have my work cut out for me. In my most recent 6 hour, I ran 28.35 miles. I do not believe I had a 39:55 21.65 miler in me.

That does make me wonder. What do I want to accomplish as I turn 60, and in my 60s? I had grand plans as I turned 50.

I remember them well, too well. I sit here wondering where did the decade go?

Hmmm… I have 8 grandchildren, I had none as I turned 50. I have worked 10 additional years as a teacher, and many of those years with a second, and sometimes third job. I gained weight, too much weight. I ran less, traveled more, both for work and non-running activities. Oh, how I long for the leisure time of my youth.

I can still run fast for short distances.

That was where I was when I began running many, many, many years ago. I still feel young when running fast. I think there are good runs, and more importantly, good races in me. So I need a plan.

This plan should have many components. First among them is to lose weight.

I write those words with trepidation knowing how many people struggle with weight issues, to the point of it being destructive to their health. I am fortunate that I am not in that position. I know what my racing weight should be … the same as it was when I was 30. Medical people agree that adding weight as one ages is not necessary, or even desirable. So I have a target.

The second component is to run more, stop making excuses, and not worry about how far I get to run, just increase the number of runs. I need to get out the door more frequently rather than waiting until I can go for a “real” run. In my youth I ran three, four, sometimes five times a day.

My early training was filled with runs in the two to three mile range.

The third component is to run races, shorter races than ultramarathons. When I began training it was to run a marathon and qualify for Boston. I ran 10K races as training for that purpose. As my 10K

By Ray Krolewicz

times came down so did the marathon times, and 50 miles, and 100 miles. For many years I have said that in order to be a good ultra runner one should focus on the marathon. That training will allow one to run well at any distance.

That being said, it must be pointed out that in those days marathoners trained 100+ mile weeks. The goal in those days was to run fast. The sport has changed greatly over the past 40 years.

Completion (rightfully so) is victory. This is true from 10Ks to multi day-runs, however, some still want to race. Or race again.

Women’s Running Discover The Real Power of Running As many of my readers know I started running nearly 40 years ago to alleviate my boredom while living in the coed dormitory at the University of South Florida and finishing my masters degree. I was not very good at this sport called running and could not even make it around the track one time on my first venture. But I am a very stubborn woman and figured if I worked at it I should be able to run a few miles. Now 130 marathons and hundreds of races later, I am obviously able to run many more than a few miles. But that is not the focus of this article.

Over the years I have discovered that I do not train to race nor do I run to race. Fortunately I must have a small bit of talent as my house is beyond overfilled with running awards. But that is not the reason I run and truth be told I have only truly raced twice in my entire career. My chosen daughter, four-time Olympian Colleen De Reuck tells me when the hurting gets tough you push through the pain to the other side. Truly elite runners and crazy competitive runners may do that. Not me, as I back off and feel much better. My actual two races involved a mile race when I first joined the Boston Athletic Association Running Club and wanted to beat their top master who did not even know me. I did pass her in a last minute sprint in a personal best 5:28. The other race was a back and forth event in Binghamtom, NY where my female competitor made me mad by pushing me. Again a fierce kick got me the four mile victory. Both of these races were over twenty-five years ago.

But I have continued to train hard, run lots of miles and enjoy every minute (except during "races"). Running has a very special meaning to me and that is what I want to share with my readers. Running is my therapy. It is what gets me through each and every day of my life. It is part of my spirit and I truly rejoice on every run. Let me share a few of my highlights to demonstrate what I mean.

S hortly after beginning running my family moved to Tallahassee, FL, from the Tampa Bay area. I started work on my doctoral dissertation and was fortunate enough to meet runners from the Gulf Winds Track Club. I started doing speedwork with Coach Tim Simpkins and truly enjoyed the challenge of pushing myself. But I found myself doing many of my runs alone and realized that it was just my mind and body out there on the run. I quickly discovered the best way to write a doctoral dissertation was to take myself on a run and work through all of the ins and outs of my dissertation. To this day I can honestly say most of my dissertation was done on the run.

Perhaps that is what led me to running so many miles.

Moving to Atlanta and joining the Women's Competitive Team gave me great training partners and lots of races to attend. But I still gravitated to lone runs.

Running for me became problem solving time and a superb time to "talk to myself" and iron out any problems or concerns I had. Any frustrations I had with my job or my boss or my employees could be dealt with while running in the calm and peace of being alone.

To say I am a bit obsessive/compulsive is probably an understatement as I increased my miles while going through a divorce and ending a seventeen year marriage.

Running kept me sane and focused on my daughters and my family. I was able to deal with the situation very calmly and if things got a bit tense I would go for a run. It cer-

tainly helped me manage my anger and get a perspective on my life and where I saw myself going. Bad times at work were also dealt with by running and solving the conflicts so I could approach the difficulties calmly and objectively. I must say that I have never had a problem that a good run could not help.

When Steve and I married almost 30 years ago, I am certain he thought he had married a madwoman. I would get up at 4:30am every morning to get my run done.

Thankfully I had pre-warned him so he could not claim any surprise. When he retired at age 47, I know running saved our marriage. Running became my "me" time and a gift I gave myself each and every day. We did run for a few years together ( although I still ran extra miles on my own) and that was great for both of us. But arthritis in his spine curtailed Steve's short career and I was totally on my own again. I go out every morning and stay out two to four hours, always returning by 1 p.m. so Steve does not worry. This is the time when I have to do nothing but be me. Whether I push myself or slog along thinking of things I have to do or problems I have to solve or people I need to see, I utilize every moment enjoying being able to be alone and think. I know I am my most creative and calm while I am running. It centers me so I can do whatever needs to be done the rest of the day. It is my personal peace. Running makes me a better person.

I began to realize the truth was I really used races as "social times" and really enjoyed being with my running buddies at races to have fun. But I have never translated my hard training into race times. It is just not necessary for me. Training hard is my challenge to me. Some of my training regimens amaze even me. But I train for the challenge and as a variation to my runs.

Each of us have varied reasons for running. I believe that running often puts extra stress on some people as they struggle to get their run done. My thought is that each of us should utilize the pure power of running to make our lives less complicated and more enjoyable. Run like a child with reckless abandon and immense joy.

Utilize running to enhance every aspect of your life.

Ditch all the electronics and run free to think and relax and help you escape from our crazy world. Running to me should be so much more than exercise. Try making each run a gift to yourself and lose the expectations you often put on yourself and just be part of the process. I think you will be happier and healthier. Go enjoy a run!!

He Said, She Said When's the Last Time You Had a Celebrity Cheerleader?

When you envision a traditional cheerleader, chants, cheers, pom poms, pyramids, jumps, stunts, and a sufficient supply of spirit likely come to mind. The skirtwearing, ponytail-swinging, female version of the athlete, may be the initial image to surface in your mind's eye. However a closer, more investigative look reveals the strength, power, and sheer athleticism of the male cheerleaders who were originally the sport's exclusive participants, and who still maintain imperative positions on challenging stunt-performing cheerleading squads across the country.

An even further scrutinizing “outside the box” observation proves that cheerleaders actually come in all shapes, sizes, ages, races, and varying degrees of enthusiasm.

Some cheerleaders root for their teams and athletes from the cozy comfort of their living room Lazy Boys. Others attend events to witness all the guts, glory, and glamour up close and personally. Some even bring glitz, glamour, and picture-taking paparazzi of their own. This month I ask, when is the last time you had a celebrity cheerleader?

By Mary Marcia Brown

had a 6 feet 2 inch, more than 250-pound, bulking mass of male muscle as his celebrity cheerleader. Driving down dirt roads and spinning up clouds of dust as he approached the competition starting line in his old, supped-up Ford Bronco, former professional wrestler, and unapologetic “Attitude Era poster boy,” Stone Cold Steve Austin readied himself to root for the athletes invited to his Texas ranch.

“He is a real bad ass,” elite athlete Will Doyle said. “Way bigger in person than I thought he would be. His calves were bigger than my arms!”

Head Personal Trainer and Boot Camp Instructor at TBC24 Fitness in Lakeland, Florida, Doyle was one of eight athletes He (Will Doyle) Said… chosen to compete on a recent episode of Thirty-one year old Will Doyle recently CMT's Broken Skull Challenge, where competitors put their athletic training to the ultimate test in tough one-on-one physical challenges. With names like “Rip Off,” “Ass Kicker,” “Grip and Rip,” and the “Skull Buster,” one can only begin to imagine the mental might, and physical fortitude required to tackle such obstacles.

“Emotionally, I was very on edge,” Doyle said, explaining that upon landing in Tilden, Texas, he was seated in a confined medical examiner's office with his seven competitors - to whom he was not allowed to speak.

“I have never had high blood pressure in my life, but after sitting in that room for 10 minutes, my blood pressure was 152/94!”

The examiner was able to play the soothing, calming sounds of waves quietly crashing into the sands, to help bring Doyle's blood pressure to bay. With the green light of approval from the medical examiner, Doyle was ready to take on the Broken Skull Ranch obstacles designed to tear him down.

Having served in the Army for eight years, and survived the War in Iraq, Doyle arrived at the ranch equipped with ample experience in the tests of emotional and physical strength. Army runs, 15k ruck marches carrying a 65-pound pack, and recent Tough Mudders were all in Doyle's Will Doyle of TBC24 Fitness in Lakeland

running resume. But as his cursing, camouflage-covered celebrity cheerleader so kindly reminded him, beating the Skull Buster obstacle course would require all of that running experience, all of his high intensity interval and strength training, all of his pride, and “then some.” Doyle proved that he was prepared for the challenge, taking down all of his competitors along the way.

“You kicked ass today, Will. We started off with eight people and you sent seven stepping,” Steve Austin said to Will after the first day of competition.

The second day was stacked with 10 physical challenges beginning with a quartermile run carrying a 70-pound log. Will ran a strong steady pace while celebrity cheerleader, Austin, followed closely on his heels in the comfort of his dirt-kicking allterrain vehicle.

“Good pace,” “Nice and steady,” and “Doing good,” were all words of encouragement Austin used to motivate Doyle's successful run. His encouragement continued through the next seven obstacles Doyle completed before facing Heartbreak Hill.

A dirt-covered 40-degree, 100-foot incline, Heartbreak Hill was Doyle's final successful obstacle of the day. While Austin's supportive, “Keep working,” “Overcome,” and “You can do this” helped Doyle with nine of the athletic feats, the words were not enough to propel him up the course's final rope to realize the $10,000 reward.

That is certainly not where the finish line lies for Doyle however. He has big plans for his future and hits the gym daily to work towards accomplishing his goals while motivating and cheering on his own clients to do the same.

“If you don't train insane you will remain the same. Always keep the muscles, heart, and body guessing what is going to come next. That is how you improve,” Doyle said.

She (Mary Marcia Brown) Said…

It certainly did not appear that I had any cheerleaders (celebrity or otherwise) as I began my travels from Florida to Lynchburg, Virginia, to run in the 41st Genworth 10 Miler. An RRCA National Championship Event, where RRCA President Jean Knaack would be presenting awards, and where more than $10,000 worth of prize money was up for grabs for elite runners, I was excited to participate in the legendary race. After all, I would be running a course that had attracted running royalty like Frank Shorter, Joan Benoit

Samuelson, Bill Rodgers, Grete Waitz, and Rod Dixon. My means of transportation however, seemed to have a quite different course in mind - one with multiple air blocks.

The flight, as it was scheduled, was quite simple really - Orlando to Charlotte, a speedy 45-minute layover, and then Charlotte to Lynchburg. The 20-minute delay from Orlando was only the beginning of a seemingly endless series of challenges to safely arrive at my intended destination.

Twenty-minutes turned to thirty minutes.

The re-scheduled flight from Charlotte to Orlando experienced a delay which resulted in a cancellation. That cancellation led to two failed stand-bys before I felt frustration-induced tears.

Before they poured down my cheeks, I asked an airport employee what my next step was in getting to Lynchburg. She explained that I was on stand-by for the final departing flight of the night. It was to depart in almost two hours, and as I was fourth in line for stand-by, it did not look promising. Should I not be assigned a seat on the evening's last attempt, the airline would pay for my hotel for the evening and put me on the first flight out on Saturday morning - scheduled to depart after the 10miler's award celebration.

The flood gates opened for the tears and, feeling somewhat hopeless about my race participation, I grabbed a hummus tray and chai tea latte from Starbucks and sulked in the closest quiet corner on the carpeted floor. I called my dad and let him know that I would likely not be joining him for the race, for which he was hoping to get a good night's rest before competing for the Senior Grand Masters National title. I wished him a heartfelt good luck, and explained that I would see him after the race.

Two hours later, I found myself hovering around the flight announcement pedestal with the rest of the stand-by hopefuls. To my complete surprise, the three stand-bys in front of me, all received seats on the plane with three unclaimed seats remaining. The flight employee was in the midst of articulating her approval of my placement on the plane when two breathless beaus came bolting toward us with carryon baggage in tow. My mind screamed an adamant “NO!” but went unheard. The men claimed their seats and left me standing - outside the gate.

Yet with less than a minute before the official “closing of the aircraft's door”, I was given the nod to occupy the flight's final remaining seat, and I was Lynchburg bound. My midnight call awoke my dad from his restful, pre-race slumber. Ten minutes later he picked me up from the dark, desolate, airport.

With unfamiliar, late night fuel in my tank, and a less than an adequate night's sleep, my dad and I pulled up to the starting line of the much-anticipated race. A

Down the Road Mistakes Runners Make Do you run a lot of races? If you do it is easy to slip into some bad habits, or simply forget about your good habits. I've run 784 races beginning with the Turkey Day 5K in Charleston on November 28, 1978.

I've run the Cooper River Bridge Run10K 35 times; the Charlie Post Classic 15K or 5K dozens of times, plus too many other races to mention. So I've probably made most of the mistakes we'll talk about here.

One thing I have learned is that we all learn best by doing. So you may not agree that some of the things listed here are mistakes, but you probably will after you have run over 700 races and learned the hard way.

1. Starting a race too fast. Back in the day, everyone used to tell me I was starting out too fast. I didn't believe them. It feels so good when the starting gun goes off and you take off fast. No matter what kind of shape you are in, you can start too fast. How fast is too fast? The pundits say you can only run the first mile of a race 10 seconds faster than what you will average for the entire race. So if you are in 6minute shape you can start out at 5:50 without hurting yourself. For 7-minute shape, 6:50 is reasonable, for 8-minute shape 7:50 is it.

So what happens when you start out too fast? Nothing good. How about a personal example? I was running my 5K races in the mid 17-minute range. At a race around Colonial Lake in Charleston, I was running with the lead pack, and they were talking and joking about how slow the pace was . We were running probably just over a 6-minute pace. So I decided it was too slow and really picked it up. They all fell in just behind me and stayed there effortlessly. I was killing myself to run fast. We got to the one-mile marker just over 5 minutes. I distinctly remember Chuck Magera telling me “Thanks for the tow” as he and 4 other guys blew by me when I blew up and slowed down. The rest of the race was agony. I did finish the race, but it was astonishingly painful, and over a minute slower than what I usually ran. It seemed like 'everybody' passed me.

If you start out too fast, you will think everyone is passing you too, because you will slow down so much more than usual and people who usually finish behind you will say “Hi” as they gleefully pass you in the last mile or so.

The last race I ran was a 5K. I had told my wife Kathy that I would be careful and start out at a 10-minute pace as I was making my last attempt to come back from an

By Cedric Jaggers

injury. So of course I got in the back of the crowd and found someone (thank you Katie Fried) who planned to run the same pace. Unfortunately we took off too quickly and got to the first mile in 9 minutes. I was out of breath -- it felt like a 4minute mile. The rest of the race, and especially the last mile was painful, and I got to say hello to a lot of people as they passed me. Did I mention that no matter what shape you are in you can start out too fast?

2. Running uncertified courses. What is the big deal about uncertified courses?

The problem with any and every uncertified course is that no record times run on the course are recognized by USATF. So if you are in great shape and run your personal best time, it is in effect meaningless.

If you call a time on an uncertified course your best you are only kidding yourself. I could tell you that my 5K personal best is 15:05 and it is -- ON AN UNCERTIFIED COURSE. My real personal best is over 2 minutes slower than that. The difference in my 'best times' are even larger for 10K races. If you admit it, yours are probably slower on certified courses as well.

Repeat after me: “If the course is not certified and run on the certified course it is probably short.”

Actually most uncertified courses are just short enough that you can make yourself believe it is real. These are the most cruel, especially if the course has marked all the splits so you think it was properly measured. Two examples: the Rose Festival 10K in Orangeburg, when it was first measured for certification was found to be 200 yards short. The Turkey Day 5K in Charleston when first measured for certification was found to be slightly over 3 miles long, not the 3.1 it should have been to be full length. Don't make the mistake of running uncertified courses if you are running for a time you plan to tell anyone about.

3. Running a race on a hot day and expecting the time to be near what you

usually run. A couple of studies have shown that the idea running temperature is between 50 and 55 degrees. Above that temperature your body will have to spend a lot of energy to keep you cool. Below that temperature range, your body has to spend a lot of energy to keep you warm.

That is energy it would have been using to let you run fast. Race conditions matter if you want to run fast. This leads us to the next similar mistake.

4. Forgetting the 20 degree rule.

Runners and racers should always dress for the conditions. It is easy to put on too many clothes on a cold or even a relatively cool day. Remember the 20 degree rule. Once you start running and warm up, the apparent temperature, to your body, will be 20 degrees warmer than whatever the thermometer says. So on a cool 58 degree morning, once you get going and settled into your run, it will feel to your body like it is 78 degrees. Guess what happens if you are dressed for standing around on a 58 degree morning, but you are running instead? Your body will overheat and you will slow down. Or you will tie that jacket around your waist because it is too expensive to throw away. Try starting instead with a throwaway long sleeved T-shirt and a throwaway pair of cotton gloves for while you are standing around waiting to start running. Then you can discard them, and recover them after your run. Or if you can't get them back, you haven't lost much and maybe you've saved your fast run, or at least been more comfortable and less weighted down.

5. Running a race you have not properly trained for. If you are only regularly running 10 miles a week, you probably should not even consider running a half marathon or marathon. Or if you do you should expect to really do a lot of suffering. You can also get yourself injured trying to run distances you are not adequately prepared for. Kathy just reminded me that we used to hear people say that your collapse point is two and a half times the average daily distance you are usually training per week. Perseverance when you are undertrained will take you further, but at a cost.

As I said earlier, I've run enough races that I could probably give you an example of when I did each of these things. Each of these mistakes is easy to make. There are plenty of other mistakes runners make, but we don't have space to talk about all of them here. Maybe this will help you avoid some of them. Hey, don't you want to be running down the road quickly?

HE SAID, SHE SAID CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14 pool of elite runners was among us, as was 86-year old Bill Draper who was the only participant to have run all 41 races. Ten miles of relentless hills and a sea of supportive spectators separated our positioned start to our successful finish.

Upon reaching the finish line, we were surprised and delighted to learn the celebrity status of the cheerleaders who encouraged and congratulated runners at the finish line and on the awards' stage. Kathrine Switzer and her husband, Roger Robinson, were the race's special guests and announcers for a second consecutive year.

Many will remember Switzer as the first woman to complete the Boston Marathon as a bibbed runner. This was despite a race official trying to rip off her bib while she was running, reportedly yelling, “Get the hell out of my race and give me those numbers." Women not yet being allowed to run the Boston Marathon in 1967, Switzer's being issued a bib number was likely an oversight due to how she signed her race application -- K.V. Switzer.

Robinson also has an impressive running resume. He has set Masters' records at both the Boston Marathon and the New York Marathon. At older than 40, Robinson ran Boston in 2:20:15, and at older than 50, he ran NY in 2:28:01.

Needless to say, my humble 1:19 Genworth 10-miler time was not worthy of a top ten or age group finish, but thankfully it was deserving of congratulatory praise by two celebrity cheerleaders and running pioneers. My dad's performance was dependably impressive. He missed the National 10mile title by a tiny margin, placing first in his age group, but second to RRCA National Senior Grand Masters winner Mark Whisler. I have to wonder, had the prior day's travels been challenge-free, would the race outcome have been different, too?

We may never know about that, but we do know about this … Robinson's Masters division running performance helped paved the way for Masters, Grand Masters, and Senior Grand Masters runners (like my dad) to continue to be viewed as competitive contenders in road races today, and Switzer's courageous journey helped ensure that female runners (like myself) run distance races without the threat of being attacked by bib-ripping race officials. Those two running gifts from two running legends (and celebrity cheerleaders) happen to be something certainly worth cheering about.

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.

RENOVATION Spring 2015

Brooks Ravenna 6

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 • April, 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 • April, 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.”

Myrtle Beach Psychiatrist's 100th Marathon

You Never Forget Your First BQ

By Jamie Stanton

Way back in December 1995 I completed my first marathon with my dad in Jacksonville, FL. I can still remember the leg cramps, wanting it to be over, and my finish time. I remember that 3:48 because I had missed qualifying for Boston by eight minutes.

I chalk that one up to being new to marathons since I had not raced longer than 5K during the previous four years running cross country and track at Brown University. All this was back when the women's qualifying time for Boston was 3:40. Before the age groups, the addition of time, and the subtraction of time there was one time for men and one time for women.

My next marathon attempt would not be until January 1997 at Disney. It will always hold a special place in my heart as this was my first Boston Qualifier. I remember seeing the finish clock and thinking I just made it under 3:40 and then discovering the magic of “chip times” which put me at a 3:35:26 officially.

I registered for Boston in February and was soon on my way back to my home state in April 1997 for my first Boston Marathon. It was exciting and overwhelming at the same time as I really did not know what to expect. Navigating a major marathon weekend was challenging before the boom of social media and everything race related being on the Internet. Despite not having a ton of photos from my first two Boston Marathons (1997-1998) I will always remember the giddiness I felt.

Fast forward to January 2015 where I experienced a different kind of “first” when I attended the Celebration Marathon

Leah Swarts as she finishes her first Boston qualifier.

as a spectator. My hamstring injury prevented me from running it. We went ahead with marathon weekend anyway, which included three nights' hotel, prerace dinner with friends, and getting up super early to get a good parking spot on race morning. I wasn't sure how I would handle it, but I took photos, cheered, walked all around the course, and had a blast!

I felt lucky that I could see all of my friends during the race and at the finish.

Leah Swarts' finish was especially awesome because she ran her first BQ. She missed it by a minute and a half in late November so she was more determined than ever at Celebration. Determination turned to pure joy when she saw the finish clock while still about 30 meters out from the finish line. I didn't do a very good job photographing all my friends who ran the race as most of the photos were blurry, but the photos of Leah were clear and captured that unique feeling you only get when you run your first BQ. I am registered for the 2015 Boston Marathon and we will go on our trip as planned, enjoying the expo, food, history, and culture that are Boston. While sad that I will not be able to run the race because of my injury, I am excited for another first in watching the elites cross that finish line, live, in person, not on television.

Each time you run a BQ, it is something special. The Boston Marathon has always been extraordinary. They don't call it the world's most famous foot race for nothing! Sharing in a friend's first BQ is definitely an amazing experience that makes you cherish your own even more. I was lucky to share in four friends achieving their first Boston Qualifiers in the past year. Boston Strong!

When self diagnosed in 2004 with “late onset athleticism,” practicing psychiatrist Dr. Murray Honick found the perfect cure in a hearty dose of running … and became addicted to the treatment. Eleven years later and with more than a few thousand miles under his hydration belt, Murray crossed the finish line of his 100th marathon at the 2015 MyrtleBeach.com Myrtle Beach Marathon.

Interestingly, Myrtle Beach was also the first marathon in Murray's journey, and a few weeks after swearing he would never do it again, he signed up for October's Marine Corp Marathon. Within two years he had completed 10 marathons, qualifying him to join the elite group, Marathon Maniacs. A small push from fellow Maniac Diane, and Murray was on his way toward completing 50 marathons in 50 states. He says, “The running community is a motivated group, united in the quest for fitness and reaching new goals. I met so many good people through running that I just wanted to keep going.”

And keep going he did. In addition to completing a marathon in all 50 states and DC, Murray has reached the Marathon Maniac's Titanium Level (10 stars), a distinction held by just 200 Maniacs, for completing 30 different state marathons in 365 days. Given his current training regimen, which includes cross training as well as yoga, spinning, core and suspension training, he has recorded PRs in the 5K, 10K, 12K, 15K, half and full marathons in the past 16 months and captured many age group awards in all distances. He has endured the cold - 26 degrees at the start of the 2010 Disney

Rae Ann Darling Reed in the 1998 Boston Marathon.

World Marathon - and the 80 degree heat of the Go! St. Louis Marathon, during which they ran out of cold beer! His favorite, though, was Maine's Mt. Desert Island Marathon which runs along the ocean and through the woods at the peak of the autumn leaf season, a delight, no doubt, for this bird-watching doc who never runs with music.

Murray's next goal is to complete three marathons in Idaho, Utah and Wyoming in one weekend. He says, “Running is a great stress reliever. Next to the marathon, many of life's challenges pale in comparison. Running gives me the opportunity to think about my life and put things in perspective. I've learned to quit 'sweating the small stuff' and most problems seem smaller now. I believe that life is a marathon, not a sprint. I want to slow down and embrace the journey, not hurdle blindly to its conclusion.” Murray's ultimate goal would be to continue running marathons until age 101, which would be the record.

Newlyweds Win Miami Beach Half Marathon MIAMI BEACH -- There are vacations to South Beach and then there is the vacation that newlyweds Ian and Amanda Nurse experienced as they stole away for a long weekend to escape the snow and cold in Boston. Sunday, they became the first couple to win the 7th Michelob ULTRA Miami Beach 13.1 Marathon, produced and presented by Life Time The Healthy Way of Life Company.

After training indoors on a treadmill, the Nurses found the race-time 74 degree temperature conducive to break-out winning performances as Ian Nurse (1:14:40) held off Miami's Bryan Sharkey (1:14:52) as the overall winner in Sunday's race, and Amanda Nurse won the women's title (1:24:28).

"I'm on vacation with my wife to get away from the cold," said Nurse, 37, a chiropractor who has been married for four months. "We've had a pretty brutal winter up north."

With sunrise still 30 minutes away, the fast, flat and highly scenic 13.1 race began in front of Miami Beach's Carlyle Hotel on Ocean Drive. Heading north and passing by some of Miami Beach's most magnificent residences, runners made their way over the Julia Tuttle Causeway to the Wynwood Art District and the Miami MidTown area.

Runners then weaved their way back to Miami Beach via the Macarthur Causeway, passing the sparkling cruise ships in port and heading back to Ocean Drive for the final leg of the race, finishing at Lummus Park.

Ian Nurse was in the thick of the race early along with defending champion Dan Smith of Miami Beach, Elliott Mason of

Miami, and Sharkey. As Mason and Smith faded, Nurse and Sharkey made it a twoman race.

"Dan and I ran together for the first six miles and then we chased down Bryan (Sharkey) and Elliott (Mason)," said Nurse. "At about mile 4 or 5, Bryan fell back and then it was just me and Elliott at mile 8. Elliott dropped back and then Bryan came on. I think if Bryan had another quarter of a mile he would have beaten me."

The 27-year-old Sharkey, who won his first career half marathon at this race in 2010 and finished fourth last year, was pleased with his effort as he trains for the Boston Marathon while rehabbing a hamstring injury.

"It was good," he said. "The course is always competitive, the bridges are tough,but it's a real race. I think I'm ahead of schedule in my training.

"At mile 10 I thought I could catch (Nurse) but those last two miles it was wet because it had just rained. I was close and if it were a straightaway or maybe if I had another quarter of a mile I could have caught him."

Mason (1:17:32) finished third for the second straight year and Smith (1:19:29) was fourth.

In the women's race, Amanda Nurse led from the start while Elizabeth Brookins of Homestead was second (1:26:58). Jolee VanLeuven of Miami was third (1:27:32).

"I took the lead at a half a mile and maintained it," said Nurse, a 27-year-old clinical social worker. "I kept asking people if there were any women behind me. I didn't want to drop off, but I think I dropped 20 seconds per mile on that last

bridge. I was pleasantly surprised with my time."

While it's not the first time the Nurses have both taken first place at the same race, it is the first time they have won while sharing the same last name.

Ian won the Cape Cod's Hyannis Half Marathon in February, 2014, with Amanda Allen, his fiancée at the time, winning the women's race in a 1:22:05 PR. "So this is my first title as a Nurse," she deadpanned.

Sunday's competition also included a 5K that was won by 15-year-old French Canadian Samuel Dipasquale of Quebec (18:46.43). The teen planned to run the race when he learned he would be spending a two-week vacation with his parents in South Florida.

"I love to run," said Dipasquale, who turned in his best time after leading the race wire-to-wire. "It is more cold where I am from but I like running here."

Miami Beach's Jacquelyn Fernandez, 30, was surprised to win the women's 5K in her "hometown," nipping Holllywood's Heather Carey at the finish (22:23:47 to 22:25.33).

"I had no idea," said Fernandez, a Walgreens pharmacist. "I totally missed the tape and someone came up to me and told me 'you're the first female overall."

"I passed her (Carey) in the last tenth of the race just to pass , but I didn't know I was running to win the race."

Entries for the 2015 Michelob Ultra Miami Beach 13.1 Marathon grew by 25 percent to 4,000 runners. Included in the race-day total were nearly 3,700 halfmarathon participants, 300 5K runners and a handful of disabled competitors from Achilles International. Sunday's race

Runners Need Signs To Cheer Us On Long Runs

"Go Random Stranger!" said the sign.

I was at mile 18 and even though I didn't think I had the strength, I had to smile.

Not only are signs at our races, signs are everywhere in our life; on t-shirts, bumper stickers, cups, roads.

Jeff Foxworthy even had a hilarious comedy routine called, "Here's your sign." He targeted some non-intelligent things people would say like, "Before my wife and I moved from Texas to California, our house was full of boxes and there was a U-Hall truck in our driveway. My friend comes over and says, 'Hey, you moving?'

Nope. We just pack our stuff up once or twice a week just to see how many boxes it takes." Here's your sign.

Another Foxworthy sign was, "A couple of months ago I went fishing with a buddy of mine. We pulled his boat into the dock. I lifted up the big ol' stringer of

bass and this idiot on the dock goes, 'Hey, y'all catch all them fish?’

Nope, Talked 'em into giving up."

Marathon runners have their signs too.

I'm sure you've seen signs held by some awesome spectators to give you encouragement and a chuckle along the way.

Signs give runners a distraction from their burning legs, and short relief from the stress they are feeling when they are half way through. It's hard when you are only half way through your race and realize you have another half to do. But then, there's your sign, "Your feet hurt because you're kicking so much butt."

You smile, pick up your knees and run like you really are kicking butt - at least for a quarter mile or so. Then it seems you're back doing the survival shuffle.

Oh look, there's another sign, "Run like you stole it!" Another smile spreads across your face, you pick up the pace

was the fourth leg of a five-race Florida "Storm Series" that challenges runners to participate in multiple events. The soldout Sarasota Half Marathon & Relay is next up on March 15.

The Nurses, who are returning to Boston tomorrow, have been experiencing their own "storm series."

"We've had a great time down here," said Ian Nurse. "Boston is supposed to get another snow storm. Maybe we'll get stuck here. That would be nice."

and run like you really did steal it.

Runners need the signs to cheer them on, "Dear Stranger: You are My Hero."

Runners need signs to inspire them, "In our minds, you are all Kenyans." Or, maybe just make them laugh, "You run better than the government." And, to take their minds off things in the midst of a brutal journey to the finish line, "Humpty Dumpty had wall issues too."

No matter how fast or how slow, no matter how strong or if your legs are like Jello, no matter if you want to quit and never, ever do this again, there will be a sign to help you through. Here's your sign: "Congratulations. You did it. Now celebrate.”

With the advent of digital recordings, music and audio has become a part of everyday life. Podcasts, playlists and even books on tape make for the availability of audio and music about any time of day in any place. Whether sitting in an airport, on a bus, or even exercising, people have their ear buds, or headphones listening to their favorite song, lecture or book.

While many people like to listen to music as a means to feel better and even run better, how about listening to your own voice as a way to improve running performance? You can actually program your mind for success by what you hear. A great way to think positively and enhance your running confidence is to record what is known as a mastery tape with your own voice. You simply record in your own voice describing a great running performance unfolding exactly as you would like it to occur. Such a recording can help you focus your thoughts on success rather than worry about all the “what ifs” and the possible ramifications of a poor performance.

So think about what the perfect running performance would be to you. It might be a 5K, marathon, trail race, track race, or even a daily training run. You make the choice for your mastery performance. Maybe think back on a past race or training run you had that went really, really well to get you in the proper mindset. Just think about how you would like to run in the future and all of the feelings and thoughts that would accompany such a great run. The feelings of effortlessness, strength, speed etc. and the positive thoughts and emotions that come with running free, effortless, and in the present moment.

Once you have some ideas of exactly what your great race or run would be like, begin to make some written notes about the experience. Write down some specific examples of self-talk that you may have in your perfect run, such as, “I feel so strong and effortless,” “this pace is perfect,” “I feel so focused and confident,” or “just shorten my stride and drive my arms, I'm killing this hill.” Also, try to make some notes on the course you plan to run and some positive self-statements about points along the course. Make the course come alive in your thoughts.

Self-statements such as, “I love the this trail with all the twists and turns,” “stay relaxed on this long downhill,” “steep hill, I love steep hills,” “I love running through these trees, its so peaceful,” or “now push the pace through this series of curves,” could all be used to make the course realistic as you develop what to put in your mastery recording.

Once you have some notes made about what your perfect race or run would be like, try to write out a specific script that describes things in detail. Try to get all of your positive self-statements down as if you were having your perfect race or run. How long should the recording be? If it is a short event, like a mile race, you could make your recording try to match the real time of the race. Of course most running events last much longer than a few minutes.

If you want to make a mastery recording for a long race or run, try to include just the important parts of the event in your recording. For instance, if you are looking to make a mastery recording for an upcoming marathon, try to decide what parts of the race are most important for you.

Maybe it's controlling your pace in the first couple miles,

By Richard Ferguson, Ph.D.

staying relaxed around the halfway point, or being really strong mentally and physically over the last three miles.

Describe what you want to think and feel like at these key points that you have identified. Again, try to include the details of a great performance that you are looking to achieve. Be sure you describe the event just as you would like for it to happen. Put the experience into you own words and use the type of language you normally use on a day to day basis. In other words, make your description and script real! Include things like the typical weather, surface conditions, and even how you are dressed, right down to your shoes.

Once you write out your script, put it aside for a few days. New ideas might come to you during this time that you may want to add to the script. Maybe let a friend or coach read it over as well. They may give you further ideas about what to include. Remember, the more ideas included and the more realistic your script the better your recording will be.

When you feel good about the script you have written then its time to record the script. Go to a quiet place and use your Smart Phone, iPod, MP3 or even a digital recorder. Speak clearly with a few pauses and convey the emotions in your voice that you want to experience during your mastery race or run. One thing that I feel is very helpful is to put music in the background of your recording. Use music that gets you to a level of arousal that you would like to be as you run. You may like fast music to get you pumped up, or if you commonly get over aroused you may need music that is calming to you. The choice is yours on a personal basis. Using music helps you to produce the desired emotions of the race or run.

It might require a few “takes” to get your mastery recording just the way you want it, but once you feel comfortable, put it to use. Listen over and over to your mastery recording as a means to program your mind. By having positive self-statements in your own voice you can become more aware of the self-talk that needs to occur once you are in your race or run. Listen to your recording while driving to work, relaxing at home, doing yard work, or right before you go out to run. Use your voice and your favorite tunes to help you run like you want to run. Hear it, see it, believe it!

State 8K Record Falls at Novant Health Winter Flight

By David Freeze SALISBURY, NC - After several years of winter weather issues, race organizers returned the Novant Health Winter Flight 8K to Sunday afternoon in hopes of warmer weather. Now in its 32nd year, the oldest 8K in the state spent many years hosting one of the largest Sunday afternoon races in North Carolina. Now with four other races in the area that same afternoon, Winter Flight still regained a significant dose of its old glory with a blistering new course record on an almost balmy afternoon.

The Novant Health Winter Flight 8K is part of the prestigious Running Journal Grand Prix and included runners from Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina and Florida. The race is organized by the Salisbury Rowan Runners.

Kenyan runner Eliud Ngetich, now based in Jacksonville, FL, came to Salisbury on Sunday, Feb. 8 to chase the 27-year-old course record set in 1988 of 23 minutes and 35 seconds. That record belonged to twotime Dutch steeplechase Olympian Hans Koeleman.

Ngetich confidently predicted that he would beat the record, even before seeing the challenging course first hand. An unseasonably warm and windy day added to the difficulty.

While running with no one else in sight, Ngetich hit the track at Catawba College with a three minute lead on the field and just slightly ahead of the pace that he had predicted. With a sizzling time of 23 minutes and 7 seconds, the 21-year-old Ngetich even beat his own prediction to top the old course record by 28 seconds.

He said, “I have been training for speed lately and this race fit my schedule.” Ngetich, with a marathon best of 2:11, hopes to be on the podium at the World Marathon Championships in 2017.

Multiple time women’s champion Molly Nunn won a close women’s race with a time of 31 minutes and 29 seconds. Nunn is returning from recent knee surgery.

Chad Newton Other top male winners were Masters Champion Chad Newton with a time of 27:43, first Grandmasters Tom McCormack in 29:29, and top Senior Grandmasters Will Morrell in 34:41.

Other North Carolina State female Champion runners were top Masters Betsy Armentrout in 33:39, first Grandmasters Chris Shaver in 45:02 and leading Senior Grandmasters Amy Suttle in 51:46.

Overall second place went to Chad Newton with a time of 27:43 in a close battle with third place Matt Longworth in 27:46.

Women’s second place went to Dominique Stasulli in 31:44 and third was captured by Betsy Armentrout in 33:39.

Tom McCormack broke the existing 8K North Carolina state record for the 60-64 age group with a clocking of 29:29.

The 8K race was accompanied by a 5K Health Walk and a 1/2 mile fun run for kids, 12 and under. Preston Diaz won the fun run in 3 minutes and 3 seconds.

Sponsors in addition to Novant Health included Catawba College, the City of Salisbury, The Trophy House, the Salisbury Post, Fowler Physical Therapy, Brent Parks, CPA, the Forum, F&M Bank, Ameriprise Financial Mike Wright, Whimziggy, Ralph Baker Shoes, Cleveland Drug, Community Grocery of Cleveland, the Civitans of Salisbury, Piedmont Agri-Systems, Novant Health Faith Medical Center, Dr. Acquawon Stallworth, Vac and Dash, Cheerwine, and Koontz, Smith and Corriher, Attorneys at Law. Meredith Abramson The Salisbury Rowan Runners made a contribution to Rowan Helping Ministries, the local homeless shelter, for $8,000 following the completion of the race.

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.
