Distance Memories Lunching With Legends of Running My wife Cindy and I had the opportunity to knock two things off of our mutual Bucket List not long ago when we discovered Neil Young was going to be in concert at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado. Once we found out, it was only a couple of days before flights were booked, reservations were made and concert tickets purchased. It was our first truly spontaneous vacation in all the years we've been married.

We stayed in a hotel in Evergreen the first night, about a 15-minute drive from the amphitheater. Both the concert and the venue were magnificent and well worth the time and money spent. The day after the concert we had the pleasure of having lunch with two of the more notable people in the world of endurance running: Marshall Ulrich and his lovely wife Heather. Marshall's main claim to fame -although trust me when I tell you it's only the tip of the iceberg - is his double-digit finishes in the Badwater Ultramarathon.

Heather's name became somewhat of a household word when she rose to prominence as Marshall's crew chief, support, and go-to person during his 52-day, 3,063-mile run across the United States in 2008 (an adventure chronicled in a book as well as a movie). Believe me when I tell you the four of us had a lot to talk about.

Marshall spoke about some of his more memorable adventures (for the life of me I don't know how he was able to pare his extensive athletic resume down to a halfdozen or so) and some of the people in the world of endurance athletics that he admires before seguing into asking me about my running. (While my experiences in the sport pale in comparison to his, I will have you know that we've shared many of the same physical as well as psychological ailments over the years. So we're much more alike than you might imagine.) Marshall also mentioned that the wear-and-tear of his run across the country, now almost seven years ago, took a much bigger toll on Heather than it did on himself.

Heather spoke about her experiences 'being there' for Marshall through the years in his quest to test his limits. In fact she gave up a rewarding full-time job so she could support her husband's interests.

By Scott Ludwig

She spoke of wanting to be there to support Marshall and that when he was hurting, so was she. While not actively participating in the event per se, she knew exactly what her husband was going through. In other words, it was a challenge being in love with a person who willingly subjected himself on a regular basis to the most demanding physical and psychological challenges just to see what he were capable of. Cindy mentioned that she completely understood; after all, she married someone with the same mindset.

We spent almost two hours reliving the past, dreaming of the future and talking about how much Colorado -the Ulrich's home- had to offer. Marshall mentioned how they had recently moved from Idaho Springs to Evergreen. They had been living at 10,000 feet elevation and the extreme altitude was making his running more and more difficult. (Evergreen was at slightly over 7,000 feet elevation and after my run earlier I couldn't imagine

3

how difficult running at 10,000 feet would be. I don't want to find out, either.)

Our first 24-hours in Colorado were absolutely amazing. Cindy and I crossed two things off of our Bucket List and we got to spend some time with perhaps the most notable couple in the world of endurance running. I also wondered how much pain and suffering I'd inflicted on Cindy over our years together as I crossed one thing after another off on my personal Bucket List of Running. I thought about how much she'd been with me, literally and figuratively every step of the way.

After lunch we all walked over to Evergreen Lake to take photos of Marshall and I for a forthcoming book I'm authoring and that Marshall is featured in.

Cindy and Heather placed us in several spots for 'just the right picture.' I asked for a shot of the four of us but the wives insisted the photo should simply be Marshall and me.

It was at that moment it dawned on me that I had just eaten lunch with two of the true legends in the sport of long distance running.

Marshall was pretty special, too.

EAT WELL, RUN WELL

The Athlete’s Kitchen Energy Bars, Gels & Electrolyte Replacers: Are they essential sports foods?

Don’t let nutrition

“I don’t like gels, so I only drink water on my long runs — but how can I keep myself from bonking at mile 18?”

“I’m training for an Ironman triathlon. Which products are best to replace the electrolytes I lose in sweat?”

“Do PowerBars have special performance-enhancing ingredients?”

If you are among the many runners who have no idea which engineered sports foods are the best choices to fuel your long runs, welcome to the club! Advertisements have led many active people — not just marathoners and triathletes, but anyone who breaks a sweat to believe that energy bars, gels, and electrolyte replacers (among other commercial sports foods) are a necessary part of a sports diet. While there is a time and a place for pre-packaged sports foods, many runners needlessly spend a lot of money misusing them. The purpose of this article is to help you become an informed consumer.

Pre-exercise energy bars While fueling with a pre-run “high performance” energy bar is one way to energize your workout, you could less expensively consume 250 calories of Fig Newtons or a granola bar. All will offer the “magical” energy source that muscles need for a high-energy workout: carbohydrate!

The best pre-run snacks are foods that digest easily and do not talk back to you. Standard supermarket foods can do that as well as engineered products. Experiment to determine which foods settle best in your body during exercise.

be your missing link...

• enjoy better workouts • lose undesired body fat • feel great!

Run with energy to spare—and even lose weight at the same time!

Worried about hitting the wall? Learn how to fuel for the long run.

Gels While some runners love the convenience of gels (such as Gu, Clif Shots) during training sessions that last longer then 90 minutes, others dislike their consistency or the way they might create digestive issues. Gels generally offer 100 calories from some form of sugar. If your body is not accustomed to digesting that particular type of sugar, you might end up with undesired pit stops. Always experiment with new products such as gels during long training sessions!!!

Some popular alternatives to the 100 calories of carbohydrate (sugar) in the gel include gummy candies (Swedish fish, gummy bears), twizzlers, gumdrops, peppermint patties, marshmallows, whoppers, M&Ms, maple sugar candy, and/or swigs of honey or maple syrup. The trick is to figure out how to carry the fuel (and how to keep it from melting in the heat). During long runs, you want to target 200 to 300 calories per hour (after the first hour, which gets fueled with your pre-run snack). The amount your body needs depends on your weight and exercise intensity. Read the label’s Nutrition Facts to determine the correct portion to bring with you.

Electrolytes You can find an abundant amount of electrolytes (electrically charged particles, most commonly known as sodium, calcium, magnesium, and potassium) in “real foods” –

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

including fruits, vegetables, grains, meats, and dairy foods.

These real foods are generally far less expensive electrolyte replacers.

Sodium enhances fluid retention and helps keep you hydrated better than plain water that goes in one end, out the other. Yet, sports drinks are actually low in sodium compared to what you consume in your meals. Many sodium replacers have far less sodium than you may think.

Runners who sweat heavily might lose about 1,000 to 3,000 mg sodium in an hour of hard exercise. Here are options for replacing these sodium losses:

Replacing electrolytes is most important for runners who sweat heavily for extended periods in the heat. This includes double sessions of triathlon training, as well as summer running camps with repeated bouts of exercise in the heat. Yet, these athletes often are able to ingest lots of sodium in the pre-, during and post-exercise food they consume in order to sustain that level of endurance. For example, the triathlete who has a high-sodium ham and cheese sandwich with mustard and dill pickles can bypass the Gatorade at lunch.

When you know you will be exercising in hot weather, choose some salted foods (i.e., sprinkle salt on a omelet, pasta, or sweet potato) before you exercise in the heat.

Getting a hefty dose of sodium into your body before you even start to run has been shown to retain fluid, delay the rate at which you might become dehydrated, and enhance endurance.

The bottom line While sports foods have their time and place, make sure you actually need them before you spend your money on them! Not every runner needs to pay the price for prewrapped convenience.

He Said, She Said 'Rising Above With A Partner's Love' When we learn of athletic accomplishments like winning the Kona Ironman World Championships three times in five years, winning the 153-mile Spartathlon, or setting the speed record for completing the 2,200-mile Appalachian Trail, the aweinspiring news elicits descriptions of tenacity, talent, fortitude, commitment, and strength. However, those words are often reserved exclusively for the victorious athletes, but do the athletes really do it alone?

Certainly coaches and personal trainers can be credited in part for the level of physical conditioning athletes achieve before beginning athletic competitions or record-breaking attempts. Cheering fans, donating sponsors, supportive crews, and even tempting competitors help provide motivation and a foundation upon which ambitious goals are achieved. Yet support a little closer to home is often key to triumph. Personally and professionally, our partners can build us up, offer encouragement, support our efforts, and shed light on our potential during our darkest days.

Reflecting on record-breaking accomplishments of two noted athletes this month, the old adage “Behind every successful man, there is a strong woman,” can easily be flipped to represent successful women and strong men as well.

Perhaps it could best be summed up like this… “Behind every successful athlete, there is the strength (and encouragement) of a loving partner.”

Scott and Jenny as seen on Scott Jurek's 7/5/15 Facebook post

He (Scott Jurek) said…

“She embarked on a journey that neither of us had attempted before. She navigated backwoods roads alone without GPS or cell service in the middle of nowhere. She

By Mary Marcia Brown

made me smoothies and vegan meals to keep me well fed. She did laundry, cleaned the van, recycled what she could.

She pulled ticks off me by the light of her headlamp. She made me laugh and gave me strength when I wanted to quit. She made sure I was comfortably sleeping before laying her own head down. If this isn't true love, then I'm not sure what love is. Jenny, you are not my better half, you are my everything. Thank you for being the best partner in life. I am a better human being because of you. Happy Anniversary my love!”

Less than a week after breaking the supported Appalachian Trail thru-hike speed record in mid-July, world renowned ultramarathon champion, and New York Times bestselling author of EAT & RUN, Scott Jurek posted that endearing message on his Facebook page for his wife of two years, Jenny Jurek. It was seven weeks earlier, on May 27, that the long-distance legend had set out to break the previously held record of 46 days, 11 hours, and 20 minutes. Before taking the first step of his 2,168-mile journey, Jurek said of the record-breaking attempt along the Appalachian Trail, “[it's] something I've always wanted to do. The time is now!”

Resolute, and with his declaration formally articulated, Jurek spent the next 46 days traveling up granite mountains, across dams, over rivers, atop rocks, through torrential downpours, past falling trees, amid black bears, under the sun, in the light of the moon, guided by the stars and to his successful destination in a record-breaking time. On July 13, Jurek completed the trail and broke the old record by three hours.

“For the past month and a half I dreamed of getting to the top of Katahdin. After 46 days, 8 hours and 7 minutes it was a reality and the feeling was unlike anything I've experienced. The path takes us places we never imagine,” Jurek posted on his Facebook page, hours after realizing his goal; and he was never short on words of

gratitude to all who supported and believed in his journey - especially his wife, Jenny.

“Without her this journey would be impossible. She is my lifeline and makes sure this ship keeps heading north. Jenny inspires me to keep putting one foot in front of the other when it seems impossible. Hard to believe how far we've come,” Jurek said on day 30 of his awe-inspiring feat. “This one is for you babe!”

Not only was his unfathomable accomplishment for Jenny, but it was also for all of us who aspire to go further than we have ever gone before, to do something we may have never believed we could, and to realize that not only are we stronger than we think we are, we are also as strong as our loving partners already know we can be.

She (Mirinda Carfrae) said…

In middle school, it was cheerleading. In high school, it was drill team, and in college, it was the coveted position on the dance team. I would rigorously rehearse the routines for hours, coming as close to perfection as I possibly could before 'tryouts'.

I spent this time with my friends who shared my goal of achieving a position on each respective team. We worked to increase our flexibility, build our stamina, and heighten our high kicks. We trained to jump higher, lift stronger, move faster, and perform more impressively. We helped each other become better athletes because we cared for each other and we shared a common goal. Yet on the BIG days, during 'tryouts', we were each on our own.

I mentally relived this a bit recently, when I watched reigning Ironman World Champion, Mirinda Carfrae give an interview online to LAVA Lounge. Not only is Carfrae a professional, World Champion athlete who has won the Kona Ironman World Championships three times in the past five years, she is also married to “America's Top Triathlete”, Timothy O'Donnell.

“It's a tough situation when you have two athletes who are equally as successful,” Carfrae told LAVA Lounge, speaking of herself and her husband who originally met six years ago while competing at Ironman 70.3 St Croix.

This Running Life North Carolina cycling team takes on RAGBRAI I survived RAGBRAI - the Des Moines Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa.

But just barely.

My fingers are still numb from seven days of gripping the handlebars. During the last two days of the journey, they grew so tired and weak, I couldn't shift the front derailleur.

My seat started splitting and now is held together with duct tape.

My helmet went missing in one town and I had to buy a new one.

My rear tire blew.

During a big bicycle traffic jam someone couldn't stop in time and knocked me over, so I had a skinned knee and a bruised face for most of the ride.

And after I finished, the ride, the temperature rose to 90 degrees. A route to the parking lot where we would load onto buses for our overnight accommodations had us slogging uphill for two miles. I overheated and ended up in the medical tent.

I know I sound like a Pollyanna when I tell you despite the mishaps and near calamities, I still had fun - well, except for the heat sickness.

RAGBRAI started in 1973 when a Des Moines Register editor and a columnist decided to bike across Iowa and interview people along the way. Up to 500 riders tagged along for all or part of the journey.

After that, the ride became an annual event.

The first thing I need to tell you about RAGBRAI is a fact.

Iowa is not flat.

I learned this the hard way, along with 35 other members of the Carolina Brewing Company's Team CBC in July, when we pedaled nearly 500 miles across that state during the 43rd annual edition of RAG-

By Teri Saylor

BRAI. Taking the scenic route across the state, we conquered hills that were gentle and rolling, steep and angry, and downright brutal slogs.

In the end, RAGBRAI 2015 served up 16,000 cumulative feet of climbing.

Our team captain, Bob Oderkirk, 57, of Sanford, N.C. hatched his plan to take local cyclists to Iowa last year after hearing reports from RAGBRAI veterans about the fantastic time they'd had when they pedaled across the state.

“I thought this was something we could do as a club - ride across Iowa,” Oderkirk said, relaxing on a warm evening in Cedar Falls.

“RAGBRAI is the oldest and largest ride across any state. It's kind of a bucket list item for most cyclists.”

Team CBC's sponsor, Carolina Brewing Company of Holly Springs, N.C., is one of North Carolina's original microbreweries, according to co-owner Greg Shuck.

The Carolina Brewing Company of Holly Springs, which sold its first keg of beer on July 3, 1995, is one of North Carolina's original microbreweries, according to Greg Shuck, one of the owners.

The cycling team started when Shuck and his friend Cyril Sagan were dating women

whose lives had been touched by Multiple Sclerosis.

In 2000, Sagan decided to field a team to raise money and ride in the MS 150 in New Bern, sponsored by the MS Society's Greater Carolinas Chapter. Shuck let him use Carolina Brewing Company's logo for a dozen riders, and Team CBC was born.

“As a business with a public profile, we think it is our duty to give back to the community that supports our company,” Shuck wrote in an email. “By sponsoring a cycling team, we hope to raise money to help people who are battling the devastating effects of MS. We don't have the financial ability to write a big check to the MS Society, but we have beer and energy to do our part.”

Last year, Team CBC raised $140,000 for the MS 150, the most ever raised in a single year, according to Oderkirk. To date, the team is just $87,000 away from hitting the million dollar mark, and expects to cross that fundraising threshold this summer. The MS 150-New Bern takes place September 11-13.

The RAGBRAI journey began as the sun rose over the Missouri River in Sioux City on July 19. Team CBC joined thousands of other cyclists baptizing their bikes in the traditional back-wheel dipping ceremony, launching us into what just might be the most unique, whackiest, rollicking, partyon-two-wheels in the USA. For seven days, our team would wind our way across the northern third of the state, past cornfields, soybeans and dairy farms, before dipping our front tires in the Mississippi River in Davenport to signal the end of the line on July 25.

This year's RAGBRAI attracted more than 10,500 registered riders from all 50 states and 20 foreign countries and will make an estimated 25 million dollar economic

impact on the state, event director T.J. Juskiewicz told me in a phone conversation during a breakfast stop in Hudson.

The event, which is like a rolling carnival, boosts dozens of small towns the cyclists pass through along the way.

“RAGBRAI is a tremendous economic boom for the little towns,” Juskiewicz said.

“The churches, Boy Scouts, high schools and civic groups all turn out to participate and the event helps them tremendously.”

As far as Janice Sitzes is concerned, RAGBRAI never gets old, even after seven excursions across Iowa.

Sitzes, 53, of Cary, who was on the ride with her partner John Swartz of Durham, described her infatuation with RAGBRAI as she enjoyed a hearty breakfast in the basement of the Allee Memorial American Legion Building on Main Street in Newell waiting out a rain shower.

“You meet so many people,” Sitzes said.

“Last year, we met Tommy and the Goddesses. They love to dance, so we'd meet up with them in the towns and we'd dance together. The cyclists are wonderful and the people of Iowa are wonderful, and RAGBRAI is so much fun.”

Swartz, 52, agreed.

“This is my third year, and every year it's a little different,” he said. “We like stopping and seeing all the sights and meeting the people.”

The RAGBRAI route included seven overnight stops in Storm Lake, Fort Dodge, Eldora, Cedar Falls Hiawatha and Coralville, each featuring expos, street fairs and live music.

In addition to the overnight towns, riders passed through 43 small communities that showed off the best they had to offer, with beer gardens, bands, and games. Their narrow streets were lined with food vendors, and tables laden with a never ending supply of pies in all flavors.

Residents camped out to watch the flow from golf carts, riding lawn mowers, and folding chairs, treating the event like a spectator sport.

“We went through a little town called Buckeye,” Oderkirk said. “I could tell the town is on hard times, but those people threw out the red carpet for everybody. Even the mayor's granddaughters were selling lemonade and it was wonderful.”

Most RAGBRAI cyclists hire a Sherpa service to travel from town to town building and tearing down entire tent cities each day.

Team CBC used Pork Belly Ventures whose tent city population, at 1,300, was larger than many of the small towns along the RAGBRAI route.

Kathleen Laughlin, 57, of Cary, experienced RAGBRAI for the first time.

“I feel like I am part of something special and uniquely American,” she said over dinner and entertainment in the Pork Belly food tent. “I just love being out there with all these cyclists, and being part of this crazy ride.”

Inspired Daily You can take the girl out of racing‌

By Rae Ann Darling Reed

Rae Ann Darling Reed finishing the Picnic Island Adventure Run. Participants run out to the buoy into waist deep water and back in to a finish on the beach in the soft sand.

But that competitive fire never goes out!

With my last race in January, when I severely injured my hamstring followed by several months of no running, lots of walking, months of physical therapy, and finally easing back into running, strength training, and continued physical therapy, I now find myself

deep into marathon training minus the speed work.

I am training for the Last Chance BQ.2 Chicagoland Marathon on Sept.12, in hopes of qualifying for Boston 2016. Registration for Boston begins two days after this marathon so it literally is my last chance for 2016 and the opportunity to experience Boston with three friends who have qualified for the first time.

In July, as I looked over my training schedule and the racing calendar in Southwest Florida, I realized that I would not really have many opportunities to race between my return

to running and this marathon. While my training has been going pretty well, I would not have any races to test my fitness or practice my race day routine (nerves, hydration, nutrition, etc.). This is where the July Picnic Island Adventure Run comes in. I wrote about this race last year (page 10 of September 2014 issue: http://issuu.com/runningjournal/docs/rj1409) because they truly are my favorite races.

I entered the race with plans of running it like a training run and knowing I would not be able to race all-out. I could not risk an injury flare-up after the months of work and the money spent on the entry fee and travel for the Last Chance BQ.2 Marathon. As I drove to Picnic Island in Tampa on a leisurely July afternoon, I could feel the adrenaline start to flow before I even arrived at the race site. I remember laughing to myself at this awareness. I was glad that I drove to the race alone so I could experience it without any distractions. I warmed up, met up with friends, and went to the starting line with a smile because my fear of being rusty from not racing for so many months just melted away with the heat and humidity on that Friday evening.

The gun went off and we headed down the beach. I may not have been in top shape, but I ran pretty well, finishing third overall female, and felt even stronger than previous years through all the obstacles, mud, water, and sand. I have always said that Picnic Island is often won by the strongest, not necessarily

MYRTLE BEACH MINI MARATHON

the fastest. While I have not conducted any scientific studies to prove this, I have beaten many runners at Picnic Island who beat me on flat road courses.

The strength I felt, especially at the end of the race, when we must run into the water of Tampa Bay, around a buoy and back to shore, was a new experience. I actually passed three men during the water section of the race. This is noteworthy, not to brag, but to share the fact that strength training is important, effective, and critical to running injury free, racing well, finishing strong, and from what I can tell so far, it can almost replace speed work if you are unable to do speed work.

I am hopeful that my continued strength training and physical therapy will make the difference for me for this Last Chance Marathon as I have followed the Hansons Marathon Method minus the speed work but I have added significant amounts of strength training.

I feel optimistic about the upcoming marathon because I feel my fitness level will be decent but mostly because I know that despite the many months away from racing, I have not lost that competitive fire.

Down the Road Remembering Margaret Wright: A Runner Ahead of Her Time How old were you when you ran your first race? Did you win an award when you ran your first race? Let me tell you about someone special who ran her first race when she was 57 years old. She also won a Masters award in that race. Her name was Margaret Wright and she liked to be called Margie. In 1978 she ran her first race. It was the inaugural Cooper River Bridge Run 10K in Charleston and she was the oldest female finisher that day. She also took the fifth place masters award for her time of 1:11:43.

She was a runner born too early. Her first race had 113 female finishers out of the total 766 finishers -- so only 14.8% of the runners who finished the race that day were female. Think about how that compares to today where female participation is almost always over 50% of the field in road races.

Margie was a presence at large, small, long and short races from the time she started running. She started training regularly and was running between 35 and 40 miles per week, most if it on the sandy beaches of Folly Beach where she lived. By 1980 she had established PR's of 25:10 for 5K and 49:20 for 10K. In 1996 Margie was inducted into the South Carolina Road Runners Club Hall of Fame.

By Cedric Jaggers

Margie became an inspiration for a lot of runners. My wife Kathy can testify that she was a big inspiration for her. I can remember after races when Kathy would say that her goal was to someday catch Margie Wright, and how happy she was when she finally did. I also remember that Margie was one of the first to congratulate Kathy after the Cooper River Bridge Run awards ceremony in 1998, after she had picked up her award for second place in the 75 and up age division and Kathy won prize money for placing third in the female Grand Masters division.

Some good runners are never as gracious

as Margie was all the time. She was always a joy to be around whether she ran well and won, or even if she didn't even place. She had a full life before and outside of running.

She was a 1944 graduate of Antioch College who met her husband when she was working for the State Department in Turkey. She is survived by her daughter Susan, but she outlived her husband, Paul with whom she had traveled the world.

In 2002, Margie, who had run 775 races at the time, including all but one Bridge Run, became a member of the inaugural group inducted into the Cooper River Bridge Run Hall of Fame.

In 2003, near the end of her running career which was shortened by the onset of Parkinson's disease, Margaret was again the oldest female finisher at the Cooper River Bridge Run. And, she set an 80-84 South Carolina state age group record with her time of 2:04:21 (1:59:44 chip time). In an interview at the time she said “I like to inspire people to run. We're getting to be a nation of obese people. I'm trying to fight that, to encourage people to get moving.”

Until very near the end, Margie lived alone in her house on Folly Beach.

In 2011, I remember the sheer joy on her

face when Kathy and I drove out to her house and gave her a copy of my Bridge Run book. She practically grabbed it out of my hands and started reading about the different races and checking to see how many times she had won awards at the race.

At one time Margie established and held almost all of the older age group state records. As this is written, Margie still holds a number of South Carolina state age group records, years after she was last able to run: age 75-79; 8K, 12K, and 15K; age 80-84 8K. Really great runners are the ones who don't just run fast, but who have an influence on us and our lives, someone who gives us inspiration. Margaret (Margie) Wright was one of those rare really great runners -- born before her time. We can only wonder what she might have accomplished if she had been 40 years younger in 1978 for that first Bridge Run. If you didn't know Margie, you missed knowing a wonderful person. Those of us fortunate enough to know her will never forget her. I don't have space to tell you all about her and how she was the kind of person we should all aspire to be. She brightened the running world and it will be a darker place without her. R.I.P Margaret Wright who left us at age 94, July 15, 2015.

Masters Running Running, Cross Training, and Rest - Finding a Healthy Balance I didn't run today. Instead I went to a branded weight training class (Les Mills' BodyPump), and a yoga class.

Cross training for strength and flexibility is part of my training routine, and I regularly schedule at least one or two days away from running each week. Usually I do some other type of training (or teach fitness classes for seniors) during my off days, although occasionally there is a day when I do no physical exercise at all.

Do I feel guilty or anxious about taking days off from running? Not any more. I know that cross training is important. A few years ago, when I went to personal training school, I increased my cross training (mostly weight training) significantly, and my 5K times improved by more than a minute!

But being a runner, I still count running as my primary mode of exercise. It is the only exercise that puts deposits in my bank, a.k.a. my running log. If I have mileage goals for the week, I have to run to reach them. This in spite of that sometimes other exercise (a cycling class for example) would give me a similar cardiovascular benefit and calorie burn.

These days my mileage is pretty modest.

Usually 20-25 miles per week, somewhat more if I am training for a half marathon. So I can “afford” to skip my run a couple of days each week. However in my heydays about 30 years ago, when I was specializing in the marathon and ran on a semi-elite level, it was a different story. I typically logged 60-70 miles per week then, taking no more than one day off. My workouts were almost exclusively running, since in my book it was the only thing that counted.

However, after they added a fitness center at my workplace I would do some weight training there. Usually about twice a week, and as a second workout for the day.

I would often schedule one day off per week even back then. If I had a race coming up I would rest the day before. But if something unexpected came up that caused me to miss my run (inclement weather, unexpected deadlines at work, family emergency etc.), it would often make me feel both guilty and agitated. Likewise if I knew beforehand that there were a string of days coming up when I wouldn't be able to run much, usually because of traveling. It would irritate me that I wouldn't meet my mileage goals, and if it happened more than occasionally I would be concerned that my performances would drop. I might also feel guilty about not running if I opted to do other exercise instead, like swimming or riding an exercise bike. Today I have a more easy going outlook, and realize that if I miss my run for one reason or another it is not the end of the world.

By Lena Hollmann

I asked some of my running friends whether they felt guilty if they took “too many” rest days, or replaced running with other exercise, like cycling or weight training. The answer I got from most of them were that they were fine with planned rest days, but if they had to take a day or a few days off because of unanticipated events, it could cause a great deal of anxiety. They rarely felt guilty though when something unexpected occurred that caused them to miss a run. It was more an antsy and irritated feeling.

So, it's the unplanned rest days that tend to “get us.” We runners are quite organized and eager to stick to a schedule. We like to plan ahead and keep track of our miles. As long as a rest day is planned, we are fine with it. But if something suddenly comes up and upsets the applecart we tend to get quite irritated. Presumably the more competitive we are, the more annoyed we get over unexpected changes in our schedule. For me one of the benefits with not being as competitive as I used to be is that I can take a more relaxed approach towards missed days.

Especially if I get in some other form of exercise, which I do on most days.

I don't have much data on other runners who used to run competitively, but now, as masters or seniors, run mostly for fun and for exercise. But if you fall in this category I assume your experience is similar to mine.

While competing and going for personal records you didn't want to miss a day, at least not a planned running day. But now it doesn't bother you as much if life gets in the way.

However we don't want to venture too far in the other direction, and make excuses not to run! So it's important to keep the fun in running, and not think of it as a chore. How to make running fun will of course vary from person to person. It could mean signing up for some races in order to have a goal to work towards, or running with other people, or vary the distance, pace and location for our runs. And for some runners it means keeping a streak going!

Kim Howard of Mineral Springs, AR, has as of this writing been running for 603 days

straight, which is more than a year and a half. He takes “rest days” though, when he only runs about a mile at a pace about two minutes slower than his regular training pace. Stephen Viegas of Reading, MA, kept a streak going for four and a half years in the early 1990s. But he was challenged because of plantar fasciitis, and wasn't able to race during that time.

If streaking is what keeps you motivated then go for it, but make sure you have some days each week when you run short and easy. And don't hesitate to break the streak if you get sick or injured.

If you are injury prone, then streaking may not be your thing. Diane McManus, a masters runner from the Philadelphia area enjoys running, but a stubborn Achilles injury forced her to take some time off.

Since she also is an avid swimmer, her training now consists primarily of swimming, especially during the summer. She set an eye on some open water swims, and recently completed the Great South Bay Swim, a 5.7 mile swim off Long Island, NY. Swimming can be great cross training for runners, and it also works the upper body.

However it is not for everybody. You need to have the right technique in order to get a good workout from swimming. And it helps if you know how to swim freestyle, something I never learned. My swimming is a slow breast stroke, which by the way is one reason I have never even been thinking about taking up triathlons.

If we want to improve our running (which at a certain age is the same as not slowing down!) it is of course important that we run.

There is a training principle called specificity which states that in order for improvements to occur, we need to emulate the activity we are training for. But especially as we get older it is also important to give our body some rest. The key is to find the right balance between running, other forms of exercise, and rest. We want to discover our “happy medium,” which fits us both physically and mentally. When we feel neither restless nor burnt out, we know we have arrived.

In other words, running should make us feel refreshed and invigorated, but not overstressed. If we have a healthy and relaxed attitude towards running and fitness, we will in turn get more enjoyment from our training runs and races. And maybe faster times too!

Running Fitness Vegan Athletes Anxious to Get Word Out One of the highlights of my speaking career was the recent North American Vegetarian Society's Summerfest in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Summerfest has By been fondly known for decades as summer Ellen Jaffe Jones camp for vegans.

I have been trying for four years to become a speaker myself at Summerfest. I finally got the invitation this year to speak on the topics of two of my three books, “Paleo Vegan” and “Kitchen Divided.”

Once the invitation came, I struggled which was at almost the same time. I had choosing between that and competing worked hard qualifying for Nationals in once again at the National Senior Games Florida being first in state in the 50, 100,

200, 400, 800, and 1500 meters. Since I'd already done well at the last Senior Games I competed in, I decided to forgo the Senior Games and go to Summerfest.

Because Summerfest was over a period of five days, I was able to attend many other sessions, many of them presented by well-known national vegan doctors and athletes who have also discovered: 1) There's no money in broccoli and when you understand that, then you understand why you have to be your own investigative reporter like I was to figure out the truth about food.

2) A vegan diet and running is magical!

It's the best-kept secret in America, although more of us are getting the word out.

3) A vegan diet is rich in bioavailable protein and builds muscles as the largest animals on the planet have discovered.

4) A vegan diet speeds recovery and eliminates inflammation that often derails our meat-eating competitors.

5) A vegan diet pretty much nixes arthritis. Not happening in this 63-year-old who saw almost everybody get it in her family of origin from a much earlier age.

One of the Summerfest speakers was famed vegan ultra runner, Rich Roll and author of the bestseller, “Finding Ultra.”

He is well known as the self-described 40year-old alcoholic, overweight, unhealthy lawyer who was spiraling downward.

After he made his transition to a vegan diet in which he lost 50 pounds and gained incredible fitness, Men's Fitness described him as one of the 25 fittest men in the world. He ran the equivalent of five triathlons five days in a row known as the Epic 5. Rich has been a top finisher at the Ultraman World Championships, a 3-day, 320 mile double-Ironman distance triathlon on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Although Rich's athletic achievements are remarkable, his own recovery is even more inspiring. I have been humbled to be on fitness panels with him at vegfests and healthfests across the US. He also led a running workshop at a nearby track lecturing for about an hour and then running a mile with all of us wannabes. He was generous with his time and humble with his accomplishments. While I was recording his lecture at the track and simultaneously participating in his warm-ups, which included a standing yoga tree position, he

kindly made mention of that and knowing my background, said incredibly with humility, “You should be leading this workshop.” I almost broke form. “Hardly,” I immediately responded.

Why are athletes on such a tear to get the word out? Because it would appear so many misguided and perhaps uneducated souls, especially doctors, continue to promote awful myths about a vegan diet.

Most recently, Dr. Mark Hyman, who presidential candidate Hillary Clinton met and befriended at a restaurant, has gone on record as derailing her husband, ex-president Bill Clinton's formerly successful vegan diet, which prevented him from having a third heart procedure.

Hyman has been quoted as saying the former president wasn't getting enough “quality” protein, whatever that means.

But there was no mention of how he came to that conclusion. Hillary's current release of the state of her health as all presidential candidates do, said she was in “excellent physical condition,” and “fit to run.” Yet it listed a litany of what mainstream America considers to be “normal” conditions and medications at her age, B12, antihistamines, and thyroid hormone and Coumadin, a drug prescribed for those who are at risk of blood clots. During her career as secretary of state, Hillary experienced her most serious medical crisis: a brain blood clot and a resulting concussion. Hillary is 5 years older than I am. I just want to send her a photo of my protein-filled, flexed biceps when I won all 6 events in my age group at the Florida State Senior Games. Tell me, Dr. Hyman, that I don't get enough “quality” protein.

At Summerfest, vegan doctors and registered dieticians who have the courage to resist the huge financial indoctrination of the pharmaceutical industry, and use nutrition as the first line of defense against so many preventable diseases are worth researching if you don't want to take my word. Among the doctors: Hans Diehl, Michael Greger, Joel Kahn, Milton Mills, Baxter Montgomery, and Mary Wendt, to name a few.

All worthy of further study. Gotta run.

Women’s Running

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5

Preparing For The Really Long Run As runners we tend to take our health for granted and actually feel a bit smug about how we keep in shape, and for the most part stay well. Injuries may come and go but they are a part of our sport and usually we deal with them. But as a nurse and a student of what is happening in our medical system, I was woefully unprepared for tragedy to strike. Actually it had gotten my best friend Barb Jarnagin 20 months ago when she took a spill while warming up her daughter before a Thanksgiving race. She split her knee cap and has spent the last 20 months healing and dealing with horrible rehab. Fortunately she is back running, but will probably never return to her full potential as a new grandmaster due to one misstep. She is thankful to be able to run and walk without too much discomfort. But her injury occurred in less than a second and caused her much agony and grief.

Many of you know my husband was diagnosed with invasive bladder cancer early this year. He had his bladder and prostate and 11 lymph nodes removed and we were told he was cancer free. He was on his way to setting a new hospital release record when postop complications started. I will not belabor the ensuing difficulties but wanted to share a few observations that may help you if you or a loved one gets entrapped in the medical system.

Steve was a very healthy man five months ago. With the exception of the cancer diagnosis he felt great and rode his mountain bike every day. We traveled and enjoyed life to the fullest. That changed in a heartbeat. So let me share the lessons I have learned.

Have a plan. Do not assume bad stuff will never happen to you.

Be prepared. Get started on a list of things you will need if you or a loved one is confined to the hospital. If you have the time check out the facility and the doctors and get a second opinion. You may not have that option but hopefully you will. And as a little forewarning hospitals, do not have soap nowadays so take a bar with you.

Find a fantastic primary care physician. If you live in the Atlanta area we have the best physician we have ever had. She is probably the only one during this entire ordeal who has kept up with Steve's medical records. You need someone well versed in the maze of the medical field.

It is very important that you have someone stay with you 24/7.

Medical care has gotten so complicated that it is impossible to navigate if you are sick. The drugs you are given muddle your mind and you need someone watching out for you all of the time. I am quite sure Steve would be dead if I had not been with him all of the time. So many little errors occur on a daily basis and bigger ones might have happened if I had not been watching over Steve. Try to educate yourself about the way hospitals operate in this day and age and realize that you will rarely see the same doctor all of the time or even have the same nurse or tech every day. Staff that care for you come and go and let me assure rarely does your chart get read thoroughly.

Research drugs you are given. Since you may have many providers, each prescribes and often does not look at what another is giving you. And make sure you are given something for your specific ailment. You would not believe how many times Steve nearly got a blood stick for his non-existent diabetes!

Monitor your lab work. Steve had a white blood cell count that was 10 times normal. In the course of five IV antibiotics he developed low magnesium, low potassium, and anemia. All of these were hospital induced. Make sure everyone puts on gloves and ask for a care giver to be removed from your care if he/she is sniffling, coughing, or the like. Getting additional infections in the hospital is a real threat and you need to protect yourself as best as you can.

Ask questions relentlessly even if it annoys everyone. You are the

one paying the bill (and believe me it is not cheap!) and you should get to ask and have answered all of your questions and concerns. Do not allow staff to make excuses why they cannot do anything as they are so understaffed. That is their problem, not yours. Do not allow any staff person to tell you all of their woes.

Make sure they treat you for what you arrived at the hospital for in the first place. It took two weeks of wasted time and money and resources before we could convince anyone to deal with the cause of Steve's pain. I was appalled at all of the doctors called in and tests performed before anyone including several former doctors dealt with the reason we came to the Emergency Room.

Your main goal once you are admitted to a hospital is to get out as quickly as possible. Hospitals are dangerous places where there are lots of bad bugs. Make a plan for getting out as fast as is medically safe.

Have a bit of empathy for whoever is your advocate. Being an advocate and care giver is a very tough job. Make sure if you are with someone almost 24/7 that you get out and go for a short run every day. I will admit I would not have survived this ordeal without my daily run. I have been extremely frustrated with the care and the attitudes of so many staff people. Be assertive and if you offend, someone so be it. You are not there to make friends but to escape so you will not be harmed. Even the doctors will tell you to get out quickly. Unfortunately hospitals bury their mistakes.

That is only my opinion so do not be offended.

Be aware that healthy people who have never taken many drugs are more susceptible to the effects of drugs. Before you ever go to a hospital make sure you have the passwords and security questions on all of your accounts stored away safely if they are needed. Having anesthesia three times in four days and all of the other drugs have rendered my brilliant husband into a two-year old. His mind is temporarily gone missing. This is not an uncommon occurrence.

I have been a nurse with a PhD. for over 40 years and I truly believe the standard of care in today's medical environment makes me sad that I am a member of the healthcare profession.

Care may be more advanced but care of people has gone backwards.

With our good health as runners we can expect to live long and productive lives. But there will more than likely be someone in your family or you who will eventually enter the health care system. Prepare yourself ahead of time for the likelihood that eventually you too will need to be a well informed consumer of what is today called health care.

Make it your priority to stay healthy and if fate deals you a bad hand, be ready!

“We both want the absolute best for one another,” Carfrae said - and as inspiring, professional athletes, they have both experienced the best.

O'Donnell was the top American at the Ironman World Championships in 2013.

That same year, Carfrae set a new run record with her 2:50:38 marathon, in addition to earning the second of her three World Championship titles.

The two have their eyes on the World Championship prize at Kona again this year, as both will be competing in Hawaii next month. Ringing bells of 'tryouts' familiarity, Carfrae and O'Donnell have worked, trained, and competed together in preparation for their performance in Kona next month, but on Oct.10, they will each be physically on their own.

“You love that person. You want the best for them. You want to do things for them, but you've got to focus on yourself - especially for [Kona Ironman],” Carfrae told LAVA Lounge.

When you are in a relationship where both you and your partner are athletes, the possibility sometimes exists to run side by side, knowing, seeing, and feeling your partner's support. At other times, that luxury is simply not possible. During those times, it becomes refreshing to know, that your partner wants the best for you and is there with you in spirit every stride of the race.

Ultra Running A Race For The Ages I do not often write about races that have not been held yet. I seldom write about races at all. However, there is a race to be run on Labor Day weekend that deserves, no demands, advance notice. The race is called, “A Race for the Ages.” It is literally a race where age plays an important factor. Even for those not running, a visit to this race could prove to be awe inspiring…. And simply inspiring!

The premise is simple. In ARFTA, which is a timed race rather than set distance, like every other timed event, the winner is the runner who travels furthest in the allotted time. ARFTA is different though. In this event the time allowed is set by the age of each individual runner. That is right, the runner's age determines how many hours he or she will be allowed to run.

Ages run the gamut from the four octogenarians, led by Dan Baglione (84, Forrest Hills, CA.) and Earlene Cantrell (82, Tullahoma, TN), to the youngest current entrant John Nevels (29, Huntsville, AL).

There are 23 runners in their 70s, 50 in their 60s, 27, and 28 respectively in their 50s and 40s. There are only 11 in their 30s to accompany the lone runner in his 20s.

The race is not for the young. In fact, any

By Ray Krolewicz

runner under 24 years of age would still be given 24 hours to amass mileage. From the race page: “It began with the desire to put on an ultra for the old guys. Most of the generation that founded the modern sport has grown too long in the tooth, to make the time limits any more. The only races still within reach tend to be time events. Initially the conversation revolved around how long to extend the time limit. Then the suggestion was made; ”Why not give an extra hour for every year a runner is old, over 60?” From that beginning, an idea was born.”

The race has drawn runners from 34 states, including Alaska and Hawaii. There are 100 men and 45 women currently

www.running.net entered. There are record holders, past and current, there are elites, past and current, and there are the curious, those who seek to run with the ages (and aged).

Space does not allow capsules of the runners' accomplishments, so I will name a few without garnishment. Some names, depending on the reader, will be familiar, others will be “unknown” all are worthy of being known. Some are known for running achievements, others for race directing (the list of paces directed by runners in this field may be more impressive than the runners themselves) some for writing, and publications, many for combinations of contributions to the sport.

I have chosen 14 runners (about 10% of the field) to share here…. There are 100 more I could list, equally or more accomplished. Liz Bauer, 56, SC, Lion Caldwell, 64, NM, Ed Dodd, 69, NJ, Joe Fejes, 49, GA, Gary Cantrell, 61, TN, Nick Marshall, 67, PA, Lorna Richey Michael, 57, FL, David Obelkevich, 71, NY, Robert Perez, 66, TX, Fred Pilon, 69, MA, Al Prawda, 68, NY, Claude Sinclair, 65, SC, Ann Trason, 55, CA, Don Winkley, 77, TX. Also from the race information: “In addition to the overall race; Standings will be kept for 50, 100, and 200 miles, as well as 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours. These will be based on the actual times and distances achieved. The course is a flat and fast onemile loop in the Manchester, Tennessee City Parks.” (Because I know the course is certified I expect records to be set across the age ranges at many distances and times.)

Everyone finishes at 6 pm on Labor Day

when a party will commence (I understand there are copious numbers of rocking chairs available). The stories shared during and after this race will be amazing. There is more ultra history at this race than has ever been gathered at any event. If anyone is in the “neighborhood” it might be worth their while to check “A Race for the Ages” out, maybe even bring a camera, I know I will.

Running Through the Bluegrass Cynthia Heady Seeks Grand Slam of Ultrarunning For some, running the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run would be a life accomplishment - a very big check on that bucket list. But for Cynthia Heady, this year's WS100 was just the first step.

Heady is one of just five women attempting the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning this year, a challenge to complete the country's four oldest 100 mile races in four months. Scattered across the country, they include Western States (California, June), Vermont (July), Leadville (Colorado, August) and Wasatch Front (Utah, September).

Cynthia, at age 54, is no stranger to ultrarunning, but this is her first attempt at the Grand Slam. If she completes the slam, she'll have finished 10 100-milers.

"Western States is the whole reason I decided to do the Grand Slam," she said.

Husband Todd completed the race in 1998, the same year Cynthia ran her first marathon. The next year, the duo went out for the annual Western States training run.

"I knew at that point I really want to do it," Cynthia said. But, you have to complete another 100 mile race to qualify for the lottery. She completed her first 100miler in 2000, at the Arkansas Traveller.

In 2001, your chances of getting entry through the lottery were pretty good, and Cynthia found herself on that starting line in Squaw Valley. But, 30 miles in she had gained 12 pounds through fluid retention.

She was advised not to eat any more salt, and ended up hyponatremic before dropping out of the race.

But Cynthia wasn't done with Western States.

"All these years, I always thought I would go back," she said. In fact, she's posted a qualifying race from 2009-2014 -- but hadn't been pulled in the lottery drawing.

When she found out in early December that she had an entry to Western States, she figured this might be her only shot for the Grand Slam before age makes it too difficult (if it took another five years to get in the lottery, she'd be 60 for her next attempt).

In addition to working as a nurse, Cynthia and Todd own Headfirst Performance, a full-service race company in the Louisville area. They are wellknown for their events, especially trail and tri - Cynthia's specialities. In addition to her running pursuits, she's also a fourtime Ironman finisher.

Since December, Cynthia has trained for the Grand Slam. On June 27, she again

toed that line in Squaw Valley. This time, she came out victorious.

"I felt like I had the perfect race," she said. She opted not to wear a watch, concerned that she would end up pushing the pace and impinging on her next race -Vermont was just three weeks away.

Unlike many, Cynthia ran Western States without a "crew" -- friends to pace you throughout the race. Her friend Susan did a sizeable chunk at the end with her,

Cynthia Heady

but Cynthia said at about mile 62, she was ready for some conversation.

Fortunately, another colleague who had come out to pace another runner joined her -- his runner had dropped out.

"I love to run alone," Cynthia said. "I don't listen to music, I am just in tune with everything around me." I do most of my runs solo and only with music if I'm stuck inside -- but after 100k, I think I'd be out of thoughts.

Part of her strategy for the race was to lay down in every creek crossing, which were at the bottom of most downhills -- a combination of lowering her core temperature plus icing the beating her quads were taking coming down.

She earned her first Western States belt buckle after 27 hours and 4 minutes.

Then, it was time to rest.

"I wasn't sure what to do in between," she said, opting to take about 10 days completely off. The rest was easy running,

then it was time for the 17-hour drive to Vermont.

Cynthia said the Vermont 100 is a picturesque race, complete with covered bridges, dirt roads -- and horses. The race is very unique in that there is simultaneously a 100 mile run AND a 100 mile ride happening. More than 300 runners and riders are using the trail at the same time.

The night before the race, participants camp out in a nearby field.

"It was a neat environment the night before," Cynthia said, and the low-key atmosphere continued to the starting line, where she was standing with her cup of coffee when she realized it was time to start.

For the races, Cynthia has opted to carry water and eat "real food," most of which she gets from the aide stations. For Vermont, she threw a couple of singleserve peanut and almond butter packets in as well.

The terrain was much different than Western States, she said, and felt a lot more runable -- despite having continuous rolling hills, it lacked the intimidation factor of the mountains.

She was running again without a watch, but in the back of her mind she wanted the special belt buckle runners get for breaking 24 hours.

With 5 miles to go, she stopped at the last aide station. A volunteer encouragingly told her the cutoff was 90 minutes away. Her friend Alicia was running the last part with her and offered to use her phone as a timer. Cynthia said no, but continued to press on.

"I really couldn't tell if it was doable or not," she said. "It seemed like it was entirely uphill."

But as she came into the finish area, she could see the clock -- plenty of time to spare. Official time 23 hours, 31 minutes.

As of press time, Cynthia was headed out for the Leadville 100 in Colorado Aug. 22-23. You can follow her Grand Slam quest on the Headfirst Performance Facebook page -- she and Todd have been recording video recaps after each race.

By the way, anyone wanting to tackle their first hundred? Cynthia says Vermont is a great race for first timers.

Learning from the Young Guns The Little Things My college coach sent me a message the other day because he was putting together a presentation on “things successful runners do.” He was surveying some former athletes on things they felt like they did that made them successful. With as many great athletes as he's coached that were much better than I ever was, I was flattered. I told him that I always felt like I did a good job of taking care of my body, even as a college athlete when the environment wasn't always conducive to getting good sleep and eating well, among other things. I don't remember having any race or many workouts where I was at less than 100% because I decided to make something other than running my priority. Selective memory perhaps, but the point remains that the most successful runners take care of their bodies the way a pit crew takes care of a race car.

Unfortunately, with the exception of the professionals, most of us don't have a lifestyle that allows us to dedicate our entire day to doing what's best for our running. In the absence of that, you can still incorporate a few of the little things the professionals are diligent about into your daily routine, all without having to quit your job and neglect your family.

1. Rest is the part of training that the vast majority of runners overlook or completely omit despite it being one of the most important components of training. At ZAP Fitness we like to say that rest is not the absence of training, it's part of training. I know that most people aren't able to take a 90 minute nap in the middle of the day like the pros do, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be paying closer attention to how much rest you're getting. I'm not telling you to sleep in and skip your morning run, but I am telling you that on the day of, and the day after a hard workout, that turning the TV off a little early and getting to bed will help you reap the benefits of the hard workouts.

2. Post Run Nutrition. The 30-minute post run window is a critical time in terms of caloric consumption and beginning the recovery process. You should get in 200-300 calories with both carbohydrate and protein within 30 minutes of finishing your run. This will jump start the recovery process and put you in position to recover faster and feel better day-to-day.

3. Daily Eating Patterns. Most of us tend to consume our calories in 2-3 large meals, creating insulin spikes in the blood and causing the body to convert more of our energy to fat than it would with more even caloric intake throughout the day. Being able to even out your caloric intake doesn't have to be as big of an inconvenience as it sounds. Eat a couple of hundred calories (if you have a weak stomach try liquid calories) in the morning before your run and then another couple of hundred calories after your run. Take a mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack to work with you, eat a light lunch, and you won't make the mistake of gorging yourself at dinner because you haven't eaten in six hours. Spreading out your caloric intake evenly throughout the day will improve your energy throughout the day and increase your lean muscle mass to fat ratio.

4. Hydrate. Everyone knows they should drink more water, and no, coffee doesn't count. (Interesting side note: coffee doesn't technically dehydrate you, it just doesn't hydrate you. And the performance benefits of 200-400mg of caffeine within an hour of a workout or race are undeni-

Since 1984 we’ve

able.) Get a water bottle and carry it with you all day. If you make it present on your desk you'll be more likely to drink consistently, and frankly, there are no excuses with this one, even though we all have them. Drink more water!

5. Move Your Legs During the Day. If you're at your desk all day, get up and move around a bit every hour. One of the worst things for runners and is to sit in a chair all day - hamstrings, glutes, psoas, calves -- you name it, sitting for a prolonged period of time is bad for it. Try this: on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays stand up and do 5 body weight squats every hour and on Tuesdays and Thursdays do 5 standing lunges every hour. (And go to the water fountain to refill your water bottle!) This will help keep the muscles loose in the body's mid-section where people tend to run into problems, and you'll get the added benefit of two good exercises at the same time.

6. Core/Strength Work. Who has time to go through a 30-40 minute core routine 2-3 times a week? Setting aside a big chunk of time can be difficult and make it less likely that you do anything at all. Try breaking up your exercise routine into 2 groups and do the first half one day and the second half the next day. It may be tough to set aside that big chunk of time, but setting aside 10-15 minutes more frequently can be more manageable and make it more likely that you get the work in.

7. Adding Mileage. Five extra miles a week can seem like a lot, but if you just add an extra mile here and there where you have the time it can add up quickly and give you that extra boost of strength to see some jumps in performance.

Time is a precious commodity, and for many runners it's the little things that often slip by the wayside. However, add those little things up and over time they will make a big difference in performance, especially if you're able to prevent an injury that could cost you weeks of consistent training.

Running Through the Age Groups How on Earth to Handle This Heat?

Good Grief!!! Will southeastern North Carolina ever see an end to this searing heat and oppressive humidity? When I began this article, I had just crawled in from yet another “failed” long run, a supposed 11-miler which got shortened to just over 5 miles because I couldn't breathe!

I'm not sure if it actually is getting hotter and more humid every summer, but it certainly seems that way these days. After an absolutely glorious spring, Rob and I took a trip to the mountains in mid-June, and when we returned, it was literally like returning “home” to a blast furnace!

When the heat index (due to our high humidity levels in these parts) hadn't dipped below 90 degrees, even at 4 a.m., I knew I was in for some miserable road miles. Gone were the days of looking forward with excitement to those meditative long runs in the cooler months.

Even the hills and altitude at Linville couldn't hold a candle to this heat. And that was just June! Fortunately, we were able to spend more time in the mountains in mid-July, and now that I have the Maggie Valley Moonlight race and the High Country Half Marathon in my sights, I am literally biding my time, trying to “survive” the first half of August in Wilmington, so that we can spend the last half of August in more civilized conditions in Linville.

All ranting aside, how does one survive a southeastern North Carolina or northeastern South Carolina summer with one's fitness, health and sanity intact? First, it's important to make an individual determination of your tolerance (or lack thereof) for humidity. This factor will determine the best time of day for you to run. I have found that I tolerate heat much more easily than humidity; literally, I would much prefer 95 degrees and 50% humidity than 75 degrees and 90% humidity.

I have found that since my bouts with five lung collapses and two lung surgeries in my 20's, my body simply cannot handle the relative lack of oxygen in humid air.

This renders early mornings - which are often cooler but a great deal more humid due to lack of breeze - impossible for me.

That leaves mid-late mornings or late afternoons/early evenings as candidates.

Since mid-late mornings often translate to early afternoons for longer runs and since that time of day can often involve brutal sun, then late afternoons/early evenings work best for me in an “ideal world”.

However, evenings can often involve

By Mary Margaret McEachern

social or family events, and (at least in my case), waiting until evening can translate into an unplanned day off due to unexpected matters, something I just can't miss on TV, or just plain laziness!

That being said, I am often faced with “getting my workout out of the way” as early as possible, which usually means midday. Because midday can often be oppressively hot, I've found that a little creative in my workouts makes a big difference, especially considering that I am now training for a marathon. Thankfully, that race is a year down the road, but I really need to concentrate on consistency in mileage, now.

As is especially the case with the marathon, the weekly long run is crucial, and too many “failed” long runs could completely derail my training and wreak havoc on my self-confidence. So, instead of wallowing in self-pity over that “failed” 11-miler I mentioned at the beginning of this article, I waited until about 6:00 in the evening and went out for a nice, relaxed 6-plus miler, and was thereby able to end the day on a high note, having gotten in even more than the planned 11 miles! That, then, is Strategy #1: it is best to bifurcate a long run and get the miles in than to simply cut the run short or, worse, try to “tough it out” and wind up with a heat-related illness.

Similarly, I have found that planned double-workout days, like those I used to have so often in college, can also boost workout effectiveness and the psychology of hot summer running. For instance, my coach has me doing an easy 3-miler on Wednesday mornings; on Wednesday evenings, we have our team track practice, which is often very hard and sometimes long. Even though the evening workout is tough, the morning run helps to loosen me up and provides a nice mileage cushion for base-building, which can turn a 5-6 mile day into an 8-9 mile day without really “feeling” any extra strain. That, then, is Strategy #2.

Then, there is Strategy #3, which I often employ when there is no choice but to run in the absolute hottest part of the day. Often this involves changing up a mid-distance easier run and substituting a short-interval workout. Usually it involves a 1.5 to 3 mile warmup, then some combination of 200's and 400's at threshold (think one-mile race) pace with full recoveries. Afterward, I'll run about half mile or a mile to cool down.

I really like these workouts because they can break an otherwise daunting hot run up into manageable sections, providing ample opportunity to fully recover and take fluids. Also, the fast running creates apparent wind which can have a cooling effect, and the shorter intervals are over quickly enough that you don't get overheated. Plus, it's a darn good workout, and great training for shorter 5K-10K races. I've also found that my muscles tend to be more pliable when it's hot, so there's less chance of injury. I think those folks who practice “hot yoga” are really onto something!

In a nutshell, this is how I've learned to deal with the summer. It's still not easy to run in these conditions, but at least it's tolerable, and relatively safe. It has taken many years of experimentation in order to determine what works and what doesn't work for me. For those of you who loathe the heat and humidity as much as I do, I hope that some of these strategies can be of help. Most importantly, you must realize that flexibility is key, and that what works for others (perhaps even most others) may not necessarily work for you.

Once you have a formula, stick with it and find solace in the fact that the seasons will change and, before you know it, you'll be enjoying those crisp, wonderful fall running days again. As a bonus, you'll be thanking yourself for hanging in there during those stifling months, because those wonderful fall runs and races will feel even better than ever! Happy running, and stay cool out there!

Choosing the Big Puddle: Track and Field at the National Senior Games

By Catherine Bishop

We've all heard that it's easier to be a big frog in a small puddle than a small frog in a big puddle. As an older athlete, I've had a lot of success in track and field events in the small puddle of my home state, Kentucky. At the National Senior Games Association's every-other-year meets, however, the puddle is much bigger. This event draws international entrants as well as the best senior athletes from many states, and I've had to work very hard to bring home the few medals and ribbons I've won in past years.

Early in the spring as I looked forward to the 2015 national games, I knew I would have to train hard to get respectable results, but not so hard that I'd aggravate nagging injuries. As a 65-year-old woman with chronic knee problems, inoperable rotator cuff tears in one shoulder, screws and plates in my neck vertebrae, and severe arthritis in my key shot-put fingers, training is always a balancing act. After a particularly cold and snowy winter, it's suddenly time to get going.

April 1. I step up my daily walking, think hard about losing weight, and begin to boost my efforts in shot put training. I remember a friend with whom I talked two years ago, just

Engineered for the relentless pursuit of faster.

Catherine Bishop competing in the javelin throw at the National Senior Games.

6/8/15 2:14 PM

after the 2013 national games. She is in much better condition than I am, and she had trained very seriously for her events, but had had disappointing results at the competition. We agreed that there are some very talented people in our age division who will always deserve the top spots.

May 1. The first outdoor track meet of the season rolls around. I'm thrilled with my shot put results! Other events are okay, except for high jump where I miss three times at the lowest height. Sprint times are just average. Next day, my knees are killing me. I keep working on shot put and start some javelin drills. A stiff, painful index finger doesn't help me in either event. Meanwhile, my husband Charlie, a skilled pole vaulter and distance runner, sustains a severe groin pull during pole vault practice. The doctor says the muscle tear will require at least six weeks, and probably longer, to heal.

June 1. National games are just a month away. Charlie is still limping around, hasn't been able to run for two weeks, and has been told by his physical therapist that he must not think about jumping for three months. Training for shot put, my favorite event, continues to improve, and I'm happy about that.

I have track meets on the next two weekends. Should I compete in the sprints and jumps, or skip them to avoid picking up an injury before nationals? I'm going to call my orthopedic surgeon in a few days. After repairing my torn meniscus three years ago, he strongly advised me to stop running. I know he won't be happy to hear that I'm still running some, though it's only a tiny fraction of how much I used to do. I'm hoping he can treat my knee pain so I can give my best effort next month.

July 1. We're packing to head for Minneapolis and the 2015 National Senior Games. I've qualified for 10 events, and a friend from Illinois also invited me to run on her 4 x 100 relay team. I'm satisfied that my training has been adequate to produce my best efforts. I'm realistic about how I'll stack up against the much bigger frogs in this enormous puddle; there will always be amazing athletes who will run faster, jump higher, and throw further than I can. I'm in awe of these sisters in the sport, and I greatly respect their talents. In choosing to test myself at the national level, I'll try for my biggest possible splash, while cheering for every competitor's best performance.

Mid-July. The games are finished. Charlie had been given the okay to run but not to over-do, and he completed both the 1500-meter and the 5K races with no discomfort. I'm holding ribbons for fourth, sixth, seventh, and eighth placings for four of my 10 events. I was pleased with my efforts in some things and very disappointed in others; despite all my training, my shot put performance was far from what I wanted. The rewards were many, though: renewing friendships, watching skilled athletes setting new records, and seeing a runner's face light up with excitement when we asked her to join our relay team. “I'm not very fast, and I didn't think anyone would ever want me on their team,” she said. That was when I realized that we, as senior athletes, actually make up one enormous team, supporting and encouraging each other as we train, compete, and manage our injuries. Regardless of individual results, what could be better than being on that team?

Catherine Bishop is 66 years old and has competed in track and field events since 1994. She has done Senior Games at the state level since 2000. The 2015 Minneapolis competition was her fifth time at National Senior Games, an every-other year event. She lives in Versailles, KY.

MOTION STABILIZING—3 • PERFORMANCE—4 • NEUTRAL—5

People make the shoes you run in. There are people who design them; people who develop them; people who assemble them; and people who sell them.

We’re the people who get an early look, take the opportunity to test, and then review the shoes that eventually make their way to the stores which sell them to you. We thank you for your trust, and we hope that our efforts are valuable to you. The process of developing the content for our shoe reviews involves a lot of running, meetings, running, phone calls, running, emails, running, research, running, travel, running, writing, and finally, running. If it seems as if there’s a theme about running, you can rest assured that first and foremost, running shoes are about running.

There are improvements in the materials we’re seeing in these shoes, as well as some new approaches, new patents, and the adoption of new practices. What results is a tremendous amount of parity among many of the brands. Because there are so many good shoes, it’s more important than ever to find the shoes which work best for you. I’m frequently asked, “Who makes the best running shoes?” I can honestly say that there are some shoes from each of the brands that work for me. That said, there are some that fit and work better than others, and just like you, I’m always looking for the shoes which work best for me. We’ve said it many times before, and it remains true: Use this guide as a starting point, then try to make your first stop a running specialty store to find the best running shoes for you.

2015 Fall Shoe Review Welcome to our 2015 Fall Shoe Review, your guide to some of the best running shoes in the marketplace. It’s the result of a lot of hard work by our team, but remember that it’s only a start. Read through our reviews, then head to your local running store. Try on 6–7 different shoes, run in them, talk to the staff, and figure out which is the best shoe for you.

Local running stores are a huge part of the running culture. In the early days of the first running boom, the local running store was a place to hang out, check out products, find your next race, and get training tips. My store was Goettelmann’s Ryan’s Sports in California’s Silicon Valley.

Gary Goettlemann was—and still is at heart—a real runner, doing track, cross country, and marathons. Through runs with him, talking with him, reading from his stack of old magazines (full confession: I still have one of his Track & Field News issues from July 1974), I learned about our sport.

It was perhaps 1977 or ’78 when I first went to Gary’s store. Now a few decades later, Gary and his son Steve run the shop together. If you want to be patronized, please go to another running store. But if you want honest comments on what shoes could work for you, how to improve your training, and how running can positively impact your life, then by all means ask Gary or Steve.

Gary influenced me in many ways. One of my favorite memories was when I was trying to break 33 minutes for the 10K. I had tried and tried, and it just wasn’t happening. Gary looked at me and said, “Maybe it’s not to be.” Those words got me so wound up that I focused on the training I was missing and about a month later I broke 33 minutes for the first time.

When I returned to the store to show Gary, he smiled and said, “I knew you could do it.”

Read our reviews, then go ask some questions at your local running store. If you need help finding a great store in your area, email me at runblogrun@gmail.com with the subject line “running stores,” and I’ll help you find one.

All of the good running stores have characters—and we all need a few good characters in our lives.

ASICS GT-1000 4

The new Sensation is a shoe from a brand that’s new to the U.S. market, though 361º isn’t new to shoemaking, having produced some award-winning shoes for other companies.

The details in the Sensation evidence a mature approach to design and a familiarity with the craft of shoemaking. The upper is straightforward, with open minimesh and traditional overlays offering a well-supported fit and good breathability. The midsole is a two-part system: a lower portion of quality dual-density EVA with a post to stabilize the foot and an upper element that’s a new proprietary process of plastic-coated foam, called Quickfoam, that offers an outstanding ride. The outersole is a proven setup of blown rubber in the forefoot and carbon rubber in the heel, resulting in good flexibility and durable traction. The sole is well-segmented, allowing the foot to flex throughout the gait.

The effectiveness, ride, and quality construction of the Sensation earned it our award for Best New Shoe.

“The heel surrounds and holds the back of the foot very securely. Fits well with good toe room. The Boost foam gives the shoes a lively feel despite being a stability shoe.”

For more than two decades, the foundational shoes of the 1000 series have represented value and performance to runners. Round 4 of the GT-1000 has developed into a full-featured stability shoe, providing value without cutting corners. The upper is an engineered mesh (with a bit of stretch to it) that breathes well and holds the foot securely without needless friction. The midsole features a traditional medial post, which shores up the arch and stabilizes the overpronating foot. The midsole is sculpted to flex with the foot, and a crashpad under almost the entire heel facilitates the touchdown of heelstrikers in a most accommodating way. The outersole is AHAR+ carbon rubber in the heel, with blown rubber in the forefoot and segmented throughout to allow foot flexion in its most natural manner. All in all the GT-1000 4 delivers stability, solid performance, and value without stressing the budget.

“Really good fit, roomy and flexible in the toes, and cupped the heel well. Nice cushion; good stable feel. It was a really good shoe for me.”

100

The Paradox carries on Mizuno’s tradition of motion stabilizing shoes, managing the heavy-duty motion end of the tandem, the counterpart to the Wave Inspire. The upper has been completely rebuilt, gone are the welded overlays that covered the entire upper in Round 1. Instead there’s a uniformly woven fabric supported by traditional overlays and is tied to the Runbird logo, which forms a saddle-like midfoot support. The midsole is U4ic foam, sculpted for support, but a nicely cushioned layer that responds well to the road. The asymmetrical wave plate is solid for stability; here it’s a full-length version with a springy forefoot. A foam Strobel board offers a cushier feel. The outersole is full-contact, X10 carbon rubber in the heel and blown rubber in the forefoot with Mizuno’s Smooth Ride technology laterally. The flex grooves are oriented to forward motion, with an eye to curbing excess inward roll. Round 2 Paradox is deserving of your consideration, as its aesthetics belie its seriously stable nature.

New Shoe Sizes: Men 6–12,13,14; Women 5–12 Weight: Men 11.7 oz. (size 11); Women 9.5 oz. (size 8) Shape: semicurved Construction: Strobel slip-lasted Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with mild to moderate overpronation

The art of the update is a delicate dance in which both designer and runner hope for the best. The Supernova Sequence Boost 8 is updated with some new touches that will be appreciated as all of the vital parts of the previous version remain intact. The upper is closed mesh with no-sew overlays in the forefoot, more open than previously and with better toe room. The gusseted tongue continues, and the saddle is brawnier, although the pliable material holds the foot well without feeling stiff or irritating. The interior’s lining is smooth enough for sockless wear, if that’s your preference, and it offers a fairly plush feel. Minor adjustments have been made to the midsole components so there’s a bit more support medially, and the lateral side exposes more Boost foam, adding a bit more flexibility in the forefoot. The Continental rubber outersole continues as before, with its proven durability and effective traction. The fit, stability, and ride of the Supernova Sequence Boost 8 earned our award for Best Shoe in the Motion Stabilizing category.

Mizuno Wave Paradox 2

“Has a good secure fit and a quality feel to it. Good amount of cushion—bouncy even—and a good stable base.”

Saucony has had a strong reputation for motion stabilizing shoes. As has been true since its introduction near the turn of the millennium, the Omni does its job effectively without much fanfare. The upper continues with a stretch mesh similar to Round 13, with some of the traditional synthetic leather overlays replaced by no-sew suede with a softer feel to the support. The midsole is slightly reshaped, deeper flex grooves into the sidewall allow for better flexibility, and a larger crashpad softens the touchdown. The second density extends a bit further, stopping behind the first metatarsal region. The outersole features the same placement of flex grooves in the same radial design as before, but the sculpting of the lateral side allows more give to the pods. The medial side is slightly more supportive, with new shaping, which also lends a bit more durability. The nudge from the accumulated changes wrings out a little more performance from a shoe that was already a successful performer—good news to those in need of a supportive shoe.

MOTION STABILIZING Under Armour Charged Bandit

$

100

The Charged Bandit is a bit of a hybrid in the Under Armour running line, with a more mainline approach than its siblings. Using a traditional construction approach, the upper is engineered mesh called Armour-Vent, with no-sew welded overlays lending structure and support (as well as prominently displaying the UA logo). The midsole is a multidensity EVA, with an insert of UA’s Charged foam under the forefoot. A thermoplastic medial support lends a touch of stability to the ride, effective for minimal wobble (though for many that’s enough), especially when it’s coupled with full-contact geometry as it is here. If you’re flat on the ground, it’s hard to wobble. Add another layer of Charged foam in the insole that rides on top of an EVA Strobel board, and the package is complete. The full-contact outersole has been pared back, both saving weight and improving flexibility.

The rubber compound is pretty sturdy—all the better to pile on the miles. Overall, the Charged Bandit is quite a good buy, delivering cushioning and durability.

“Fit was pretty good, room for the toes, and flexed well. Good cushion and pretty stable. They even look pretty decent.”

PERFORMANCE adidas Boston Boost

What do you do when you’re named after the world’s most iconic marathon? If you’re the Boston Boost, you wear it with pride. In this round (the second to be “Boosted”), the focus is on lightening things up. The upper features two kinds of forefoot mesh that are layered with a small mesh near the foot, a more open mesh on the outside, with a traditional overlay at the toe of microsuede and a saddle of the same, incorporating the logo stripes. The rearfoot uses a thin, minimesh and a stitched heel counter to provide support. Breathability is maximized: The linings are kept to a minimum, but are sufficient for comfort. The midsole is still Boost foam supported by a frame of EVA, though the percentage of the heavier Boost is increased for better rebound. Even so, the overall weight is reduced a bit, and the improved cushioning adds to the bargain. The outersole is the same proven Continental rubber, which continues to be effective for adidas users.

The Boston Boost is a great choice for faster running, long races, and even a share of your daily training.

Altra is known for zero-drop running shoes that match the shape of your foot. The Torin was the first of the Altra shoes to dip a toe into the mainstream running shoe scene.

Round 1.0 employed a traditional approach with materials, but used a flat last with an oversized toebox and, like many of the brand’s shoes, has gained a growing following of runners. Version 2.0 steps things up a notch. The upper is a closed minimesh with no-sew overlays, minimal heel and toe structure (though enough to do the job), and a smooth, roomy interior, especially up front. Taking a page from almost every brand on the market, they have a proprietary midsole foam—called A-bound—and it’s nicely resilient with good cushioning underfoot and, of course, zero-drop geometry. The outersole is carbon rubber, used sparingly in strips on the lateral side, at the heel, under the metatarsals, and at the big toe. The remainder of the sole is toughened A-bound, and it does the trick well. With attributes like these, the Torin is definitely a shoe worth considering.

New Balance Vazee Pace

Performance Fall 2015

$

110

The Clifton was a surprise when it came out last year: It was crazy light and cushioned to the max. Round 2 shares the ride and feel more broadly, thanks to some minor tailoring changes, but it really ups the performance level for more runners. Round 1 had few options to secure the shoe. Now an extra eyelet on either side allows the shoe to fit better, and the addition of foam in the tongue and ankle collar and a beefier insole improve comfort. More runners can experience the Clifton’s ride with these changes, but runners who found the forefoot snug before will probably have to size up. The midsole and outersole are unchanged: Again, don’t fix what ain’t broke. The shoe remains about as light as you get and with as much cushion as you need (or even a bit more). So recover to your heart’s content—or rock some big miles if that’s your thing. The Clifton 2 won’t care; but it’ll take care of you. No surprise that the Clifton 2 earned our award for Best Renovation.

The range of New Balance performance shoes has expanded over the past several seasons. The Vazee Pace replaces the 890, though it has a different fit, ride, and function.

Its name is a play on French slang meaning “let’s go,” because it can really go. The upper is mostly minimesh with traditional overlays over most of its surface. The heel employs a bellows-like construction that flexes as the foot moves, and allows the shoe to fit and adapt to the foot’s motion through the gait. The midfoot fit wraps the arch more effectively than previous New Balance shoes have—particularly for those runners with higher arches. The midsole is Revlite foam that’s lightweight, resilient, and nicely cushioned. The outersole is carbon rubber at the heel and toe and is segmented to better cover forefoot, midfoot, and rearfoot. Blown rubber provides durability in the midfoot section. The combination of fit, ride, and value earned the Vazee Pace our award for Best Performance shoe.

PERFORMANCE Mizuno Sayonara 3

The Sayonara fills an important niche in Mizuno’s performance running line. Although Round 3 may look different, it functions similarly. The upper changes from the no-sew overlays over the entire surface to an open mesh with traditional overlays. The fit is a bit freer with the flexible stretch mesh, and the overlays and internal strapping effectively support the foot. The midsole maintains its 10mm geometry with the usual minor tweaks to the molding, but its effective cushioning continues, as does its good, full-contact stability—though with less of an assist from the waveplate. The outersole is X-10 rubber in the heel with a change to blown rubber in the forefoot. This combination provides reliable traction and good durability. The net effect here is a reasonably lightweight shoe that can hold up to all types of daily training.

Nike Zoom Elite 8

$

115

The Elite name has adorned Nike shoes for 40 years, with one thing in common: performance.

The Nike Zoom Elite 8 shares that legacy and backs it up quietly and efficiently. The upper is an engineered material called Flymesh, though here it’s two separate pieces seamed together and married by Flywire, which supports the fit of the lacing. The interior lining is smooth enough for sockless use, and the tongue is gusseted so that it stays in place and makes the lining almost continuous. The midsole is molded Phylon with a forefoot Zoom bag, and they combine well for protection and responsiveness and give the ride a good bounce. The outersole is divided into three zones: a forefoot of soft but durable blown rubber that holds up well, a midfoot that’s supported medially by waffles molded into the toughened Phylon midsole, and a heel and lateral midfoot of durable carbon rubber which provide an extra touch of stability. This is one of those “the sum is greater than its parts” equations, whether speeding through the fast stuff or adding some zip to your daily training.

“Good all-around shoe. Light enough for long races. Good cushioning. Fits well. Comfy for long runs. Have to say they did everything I needed.”

Updates the Sayonara 2 Sizes: Men 7–13,14,15; Women 6–11 Weight: Men 10.3 oz. (size 11); Women 8.3 oz. (size 8) Shape: semicurved Construction: Strobel slip-lasted Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to mild overpronation

“Fit well in the toes; secure in the heel. Has a gofast feel, but also plenty of cushion, traction, and it adds in good looks to boot.”

Updates the Zoom Elite 7 Sizes: Men 7–13,14; Women 6–11 Weight: Men 10.4 oz. (size 11); Women 8.3 oz. (size 8) Shape: semicurved Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, EVA Strobel board Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to very mild overpronation

NEUTRAL 361º Spire

As a new brand, all 361˚ shoes are new to our market, but they’re not unproven, having done factory work for other top brands. As its name suggests, the Spire is 361˚’s pinnacle shoe. The upper features quality stretch mesh, with a combination of traditional synthetic leather/suede and no-sew overlays. The midfoot benefits from a secure saddle, while the external thermoplastic heel counter keeps the rearfoot aligned. The midsole is where this shoe really shines: A new compound called Quickfoam produces a comfy ride and makes the shoe more responsive and bouncy than expected. The outersole is a typical setup: carbon rubber in the heel, blown rubber in the forefoot, and a thermoplastic shank for torsional support. The finish work here polishes the shoe with some quality touches, and the ride points to even better shoes to come.

“Very comfortable fit with good quality linings.

Has a very smooth feel to the ride: plenty of cush but with really good rebound. They are really nice to run in.”

Long the workhorse in ASICS’ Neutral lineup, the Cumulus sports upgrades from top to bottom, improving its stock with Round 17. The upper is open mesh with no-sew overlays extending along its full length; only a stitched toe bumper and ankle collar take a traditional approach. The quality ankle and tongue linings give the interior a luxe feel.

The reshaped midsole employs the FluidRide system that features two layers of foam sandwiching heel and forefoot Gel elements. Each component contributes to the ride, providing a well-cushioned feel. The outersole is newly configured in a wavelike pattern that exposes more surface area, offering excellent grip and a touch more cushioning. The thorough overhaul of the Cumulus 17 has reinvigorated and raised the capabilities of this proven performer.

“Good ASICS fit, as expected. Snug heel with plenty of room for the toes. I was impressed by the great ride to the shoe.”

Brooks Ghost 8

The Ghost has figured prominently in the success of Brooks’ running line, and Round 8 shows the good result of much effort. The upper shifts to an engineered mesh supported by no-sew overlays, and minimally stitched overlays at heel and toe lend necessary structure to those critical areas, improving the fit in the process. The midsole now features a full-length, lateral crashpad which aligns with the Omega groove and allows the foot some freedom to move in its gait. The good news for Ghost fans is that the cushy ride they relied on continues in Round 8—perhaps even a bit better. The outersole is similar to Round 7: a luggy series of carbon rubber strips on the edges with a section of blown rubber under the ball of the foot, each grouping segmented to allow the foot to flex and move. Put simply, it works. The result is a shoe that continues to provide cushioning, fit, and overall durability to a wide variety of runners.

NEUTRAL Round 13 of the Glycerin retains the best elements of its design and forges ahead. The midsole from Round 12 was then a step forward with new geometry, a new compound, and a new platform, all of which were well received. So why mess with success? The expectation that things can be improved sometimes pushes a good technology out too soon, so maintaining the midsole here is a positive move. The upper now features a closed minimesh with a stitched toecap, saddle, and heel. However, the upper has better stretch, and 3D-printed overlays shape and support the shoe with little impact on the interior. The ankle collar has a smoother feel, and the shoe’s interior (including the gusseted tongue) is uniform as well. The full-contact bottom continues as before: Its wellsegmented, omnidirectional design allows the foot to flex pretty much as it likes. While relatively lightly touched, this update is quite well done.

Pearl Izumi Road N3

The Enigma has been the premier Neutral shoe in Mizuno’s line and features its most straightforward and signature waveplate. Round 5 has taken a serious step up in performance and comfort, which is a pleasant surprise and should be good news to Enigma fans. The upper returns to a wide-open mesh, with traditional overlays providing most of the support. The midsole continues with the same full-length waveplate and U4ic foam. New here is U4ic-X, a second full-length insert layer that adds a plusher feel to the ride. Another hidden upgrade is the foam Strobel board that adds another subtle comfort layer to the shoe directly beneath the good quality polyurethane insole. The outersole continues as before with X-10 carbon rubber in the heel, blown rubber in the forefoot, and segmented for good flexibility. The bottom line? The performance, fit, and ride of the Enigma 5 earned it our award for Best Shoe in the Neutral category.

On has gained a reputation for the ride provided by its unique Cloud technology. The new CloudCruiser is designed for heavy wear, hard surfaces, and high mileage. The upper is similar to other On shoes: a sturdy, slightly stiff, closed mesh that features a sueded saddle that securely wraps the foot with adequate conformity, becoming more comfortable after a few runs. The midsole is a thin layer of EVA, which contains the Speedboard, a thermoplastic plate that adds rigidity and flex to the sole. The outersole adds both cushioning and traction, with its 15 Clouds positioned and shaped to ameliorate the forces of touchdown and toe-off. The Clouds in the heel are the thickest variety, and those on the lateral side are the largest yet used, effectively encouraging proper alignment for a variety of heel strikes. For weight savings without a loss in performance, the interior of the loops now engages teeth that are molded into the EVA layer instead of rubber. The CloudCruiser treads where others have gone, but it does so longer.

The new Road N3 is a Pearl Izumi shoe with a laser-like focus on cushioning. In fact, it’s the cushiest of all PI’s shoes. While similar to other very cushioned shoes on the market, it offers the Pearl Izumi approach as part of its EMotion line. The upper is closed mesh supported by 3D-printed overlays that maximize a smooth interior without sacrificing support. The midsole is the tallest of the Pearl Izumi line at 27 millimeters, but has a lower feel, while providing a well-cushioned and neutral ride. The outersole is tough rubber that flares in two directions: in the forefoot toward the lateral side and in the heel toward the medial. This keeps the weight down while effectively providing traction, flexibility, and durability. The upshot is that the N3 is a well-cushioned shoe that handles long runs, recovery runs, and daily training with ease.

Skechers GOrun Ultra Road

The Skechers Ultra has found a following, and many of those runners have been waiting for a road version. Well, the wait is over. The Ultra Road takes its cue from the GOrun line—and particularly its trail counterpart—providing a ride that’s springy as well as ultra cushioned. The upper is an engineered mesh called GOKNIT, which has open and closed areas across its surface to offer a good fit and breathability. The midsole has a tall stack height of 32 millimeters in the heel. It’s soft, but surprisingly responsive, and of course well-cushioned, though it’s not designed for wobbly feet. The outersole is full-length Resalyte, which is tougher than it looks, but even so, it’s backed up by strategically placed dots of carbon rubber for added durability, as per other GOrun road models. Whether it’s big road miles or recovery days the Ultra Road has got you covered.

SHOE REVIEW

by Cregg Weinmann

Cross Country Shoes Fall 2015 With fall right around the corner, it’s time to put your summer cross country training program to the test. Here to get your adrenaline pumping is our review of the latest and best racing shoes available for your upcoming cross country season. We feature six updated shoes for your consideration. In finding the brand that best fits your foot, your first stop should be at a specialty running store. As we’ve said for almost two decades, remember to ease into wearing them before your first cross country meet, adapting to them gradually by wearing them for some of your speed work in the last couple weeks before you begin racing. Look for updated information and additional reviews at runningproductreviews.com, on Facebook at Running Product Reviews and Twitter @shoes2run.

adidas XCS 6 $65 The updated XCS 6 is sweet because, as with each previous round, it’s focused squarely on high performance. Essentially a brawnier version of the adidas distance spikes, Round 6 throws in a few new features to keep the shoe up-to-date. The close-fitting upper uses a cross-hatch of printed overlays called Sprintweb to support the mesh while smoothing the interior and allowing good flexibility to the upper. The low-profile, molded EVA midsole carries over to this round as it’s proven effective for cushioning. The lugged Traxion® outersole grips well in both spikeless and spiked versions, where a six-spike setup adds extra grip. The fit, low profile, and traction of the XCS 6 deserve serious consideration.

Sizes: Men 6.5–13,14,15; Women 5–12 Weight: Men’s 6.3 oz./6.5 oz. (size 11, spikeless/with 6 spikes); Women’s 5.0 oz./5.2 oz. (size 8, spikeless/with 6 spikes) Fit: Snug throughout

ASICS Cross Freak 2 $85 The Cross Freak, introduced last season and aimed at elite athletes, has been completely revised from top to bottom. The upper is closed, ripstop mesh with laminated no-sew overlays to support the shoe and shed mud when the conditions get sloppy. The new sueded tongue adds comfort to the fit, along with the seam-free interior. The midsole is single-density EVA with co-molded medial and lateral shank supports that meet beneath the outersole. The redesigned outersole is aggressively lugged, with a 5-spike setup to handle the muddiest of conditions. The fit, protection, and traction result in a successfully updated racer.

Sizes: Men 4–13,14; Women 5–10,11 Weight: Men’s 6.9 oz. (size 11, with 5 spikes); Women’s 5.6 oz. (size 8, with 5 spikes) Fit: Snug heel, close forefoot

BEST SHOE

Brooks Mach 17 $100 The Mach series has displayed Brooks’ commitment to top-level competition footwear. Round 17 is a complete overhaul, so only the name and purpose remain. It’s now available only in a spiked version, but takes a jump up in design and execution. The upper is a closed mesh, sleekly designed to hug the foot securely, with a small partial cage of thermoplastic anchoring the heel.

The reshaped midsole is a slender wedge of foam that cushions the foot while keeping the shoe light. The carbon rubber outersole sports small, diamond-shaped lugs down the center of the forefoot and a horseshoe-shaped four-spike plate at the perimeter. A small sharkskin patch in the heel completes the setup. The Mach 17 is, in a word, legit for cross country. In fact, it’s so legit, it won our award for Best Cross Country Shoe.

Sizes: Men 6–13,14,15; Women 6–12 Weight: Men’s 5.4 oz. (size 11, with 4 spikes); Women’s 4.3 oz. (size 8, with 4 spikes) Fit: Snug heel, very close forefoot

New Balance 700 v3 $70/$65 New Balance offers its cross country shoes in three tiers, all of which provide outstanding performance at three budget levels. The entry-level 700 receives some update attention, continuing to narrow the gap among the three tiers. The upper is a closed, stretch mesh with traditional overlays at heel and toe. The remaining support derives from no-sew overlays that make for a smooth, barefoot-friendly interior. The midsole has geometry similar to the v2, but with a bit more refinement and the performance to go with it. The outersole is thin solid rubber, lugged with triangle-shaped molding in the midfoot and heel. The forefoot features chisel points and four spikes in the spiked version ($70), or round nibs in the spikeless version ($65). The result is a well-done cross country racer.

Sizes: Men 7–12, 13,14; Women 5–10,11 Weight: Men’s 5.2 oz./5.4 oz. (size 11, spikeless/with 4 spikes); Women’s 4.1 oz./ 4.3 oz. (size 8, spikeless/with 4 spikes) Fit: Snug heel, close forefoot

Nike Zoom Rival

$65/$50

The Rival is Nike’s entry-level cross country offering, available in spiked (XC, $65) and spikeless (Waffle, $50) versions. The second round nudges this shoe closer to its top-end sibling, the Victory XC, even adopting some of its componentry. The upper is a closed mesh, and as in the Victory, it uses Nike Grind welded overlays to support the shoe while upcycling. The midsole is unchanged: a low-profile layer of Phylon for a measure of protection. The outersole carries over as well, mini waffles and either four spikes or four rounded nibs, which are equally successful on natural surfaces and tracks. The fit is unchanged, close and snug for the racing foot. While aimed at the high school runner, the Zoom Rival is a rock solid cross country racer.

Sizes: Men 4–13,14,15; Women 5–12 Weight: Men’s 7.5 oz./7.7 oz. (size 11, spikeless, wtih 4 spikes); Women’s 6.0 oz./6.2 oz. (size 8, spikeless/with 4 spikes) Fit: Snug heel, close forefoot

Saucony Carrera $110 The Carrera is targeted at elite cross country performers, as it’s the best in Saucony’s good-betterbest offerings. The upper receives significant attention, with improved fit from the ISOfit system, wrapping the foot securely. Here it’s more effectively integrated with the mesh than in other iterations of the technology, which were more cage-like. The midsole is the same single-density EVA, thin and flexible. The outersole continues with the same minimal, full-length plate from Round 1 and a six-spike layout with excellent traction. Round 2 emerges as an effective cross country shoe that has taken a step up in fit and performance.

Sizes: Men 7–13,14; Women 5–11,12 Weight: Men’s 4.9 oz. (size 11, with 6 spikes); Women’s 4.0 oz. (size 8, with 6 spikes) Fit: Snug heel, close forefoot

Margaret Hagerty Dies at 92 Margaret Hagerty, 92, of Concord, NC, the oldest person to complete a marathon on every continent, died Aug. 1. She had continued to run races but had recently suffered a stroke.

Margaret was a frequent competitor on the Running Journal Grand Prix. She first began competing in the early 90's when she was in the 65-69 age group. She finished first in that division two years in a row and went on to score repeated wins as she moved through the different age divisions. She traveled all across the South to Grand Prix races, many times by bus. Her last Grand Prix win was in 2013 when she won the Veterans division.

She began running at age 64 after attending a Stop Smoking Clinic and kept on running.

A memorial service was held at Central United Methodist Church in Concord. The family requested donations in her memory be made to Girls on the Run. To see an interview with Margaret Hagerty at the 2014 New York City Marathon, which was her 81st marathon, go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtWNF6BWLwU
