Running Through the Bluegrass Remembering Poppa - and a Melanoma Warning I have a lot of memories of running as a child growing up on our 92-acre farm in Kentucky. Dashing up the gravel drive to my grandparent's house, scampering along paths in the woods imagining I was a Native American, collecting rocks, feathers, sticks. Darting amongst tall, tall stalks of corn towering overhead.

Whisking messages from house to pig sty in an era before cell phones.

These memories all remind me of my grandfather, who passed away Aug. 25.

Ralph Merritt Harris Jr. - “Sonny” to his friends - was 73.

He was smart, sarcastic, inventive, and a wizard at anything mechanical or puzzle-related. He made me Lincoln Logs and American Girls doll furniture; he hiked, rode some crazy 10-speed bike he got for a good deal off the Internet and is a geocaching legend. A few years ago, he grew a rattail because he thought it would be a neat thing to do. He did IronButt motorcycle rides and was recognized by BMW for completing a 1,000-mile ride in one day.

This column is in his memory, but I hope it is an impetus for action. As runners, we spend a lot of time outside. Most of us are active in the outdoors in other ways, too - it's in our fiber to be in nature, hiking, fishing, biking, kayaking, golfing, whatever. We're active folks.

But do you apply sunscreen before you go out for every run? Even more important, do you put it on as part of your daily routine?

I doubt it. Only recently have I noticed

By Tracy Green

a trend away from tanning and towards skin protection. I, too, am guilty of not being as diligent as I should be. But I am becoming more fastidious - my beloved, sarcastic, genius Poppa died after battling melanoma.

Skin cancer is, according to the American Cancer Society, by far the most common of all cancers. While melanoma accounts for less than two percent of skin cancer cases, it causes a large majority of skin cancer deaths.

In 2015, the ACS estimates 73,870 new melanomas will be diagnosed - and about 9,940 people are expected to die of melanoma. The rates of melanoma have been rising for at least 30 years - I would hypothesize related to the popularity of tanning and the seemingly ever-shrinking amount of clothing we wear.

The risk of melanoma increases as people age. The average age at the time it is found is 62 - my grandfather was 72 and had already battled prostate cancer, had a quadruple bypass, and cataract surgery on both eyes. Yet he overcame all those and

was still riding his mountain bike and geocaching until a few months ago.

By the way, if you're not familiar with geocaching, I'd recommend looking it up - it involves solving riddles and puzzles to locate hidden caches using GPS coordinates. Like running in a new city, it's a fun way to get outside and explore an area. If you are familiar, my grandfather's handle was RMHJR41 and he racked up more than 5,000 finds. We have saved, per his wishes, his ashes in the copper ammunition box he received after finding his 1,000th cache.

I was fortunate to spend time with him in the days before he left us. On the day he passed, I left the hospital and headed directly for a run. I knew 11 miles on the trails, meandering around Cherokee Park, where he used to ride his bike, would do me good.

Poppa's laugh, inappropriate jokes and mischievous look will be greatly missed.

More than anything, I hope you will make taking care of your skin a priority - wearing sunscreen habitually and, please, have a regular check-ups by your primary care doctor or a dermatologist.

Learning from the Young Guns To Race or Not to Race Are you a runner that prefers training to racing or are you someone that trains to race? These are two very different runners and when it comes to selecting when and how often to race these two athletes have different preferences and needs. When beginning a training plan with a goal race in mind, finding the right balance between training and racing is a critical part of the plan. That balance is different depending on the race distance you are preparing for and should look different for a 5K compared to a marathon.

Regardless of the type of runner you are and what event you are preparing for the question of when to race and when to train is an important one and can have a significant impact on performance.

Marathoners by nature tend to be well equipped to put their head down and grind out the miles for months without a lot of racing to break up the monotony of training.

However, there are plenty of marathoners who like to race 5K and 10K races frequently in their marathon buildups.

Training and racing during marathon prep is a difficult balance to strike, especially for those who like to race frequently. During marathon training the long run is the most important day of the week, as it most closely resembles the event for which you're training. If you are frequently substituting races for long runs your training will suffer and your marathon performance will be compromised.

Additionally, frequently racing on Saturday and doing a long run the next day is a dangerous combination of 2 harder days back to back. Even if you're running the long run easily it is still a hard effort on your body simply based on the amount of time you are on your feet.

So is it wise to race at all during a marathon training cycle? Racing can help you monitor your progress and keep you engaged and motivated through all the miles you're putting in, but you need to be strategic about it. Structure your long runs and weekly volume in a “2 weeks up/1 week down” cycle where you have 2 higher mileage weeks with longer long runs between 15 and 22 miles, and 1 week that is 10-15% lower in volume with a long run under 2 hours.

If you want to throw some shorter races in the mix, the down weeks are a great opportunity to do that. You can add a warm-up and cool down to your race so that you cover the distance of your planned long run. By doing the races on a down week you don't compromise your longer, more important long runs, and you don't overload your body by putting a race and a long run on back to back days.

For those runners who prefer not to race in a marathon buildup, it is valuable to toe the line at least once before your marathon. Getting in touch with the pre-race anxiety, the race morning routine, and just being on a start line with a bib number pinned to your chest, is an aspect of racing that should be practiced just like the running part of the equation. If you get too far away from racing, when it comes time to for the goal race those logistical and emotional details can sometimes be overwhelming. Try a longer race, between 15K and a half marathon, in the buildup between 3 weeks and 8 weeks out from race day where you run the first 65-75% of the race at marathon pace and then finish strong. This provides a great marathon specific training run, gets you accustomed to the race day environment, and allows you to recover much more quickly than you would if you race a half marathon from the gun. And most

By Ryan Warrenburg, ZAP Fitness

people I've had do this run surprise themselves by how fast they end up running.

When it comes to the shorter distance races like the 5K and 10K your racing strategy should be a bit different. The best way to hone your racing skills and improve your tolerance to the lung busting pain of the 5K and 10K is to race.

Running some hard race efforts in the form of 5K-10K interval workouts and races is a critical component of peak performance. However, your training should still focus on developing your anaerobic threshold and improving your strength through tempo runs, progression runs, fartlek runs, and interval training. For most athletes it takes 2-4 races before they are ready for their best performance.

There is a callousing effect that takes place in the 5K and 10K where your body gets used to the influx of lactic acid and how to better manage it and push through it. It takes a couple of races for your body to deal with that process efficiently. For that reason you should target 3-4 races in your training plan leading into a key race. Try to vary up the distances of the prep races so you have a shorter race and a longer race to work on both strength and speed.

While racing more frequently during 5K/10K preparation is a good idea, you do want to make sure you don't overdo the racing. If you are the person that races every weekend you more than likely have found yourself plateauing and struggling to improve week to week. In order to see improvement through the training cycle you must develop your aerobic capabilities through tempo work and more moderate efforts, and racing every single week does not allow for that kind of growth. Targeting 4-5 races over the course of a 12-week buildup allows for the proper balance between training and racing.

Being selective and purposeful with your racing schedule, regardless of the race, will help you get the most out of your training and put you in better position to succeed on race day.

Masters Running Margaret Hagerty - One Remarkable Woman On August 1, the running community lost a legend. Margaret Hagerty died in her home on this day, at age 92, from complications of a stroke. She will be remembered for her determination, her friendly personality, and her contagious smile. She was an inspiration for us all, and will be sorely missed.

Probably several of you haven't heard of her, since she never won any Olympic medals or National Championships. She wasn't a frontrunner at local races either, and you wouldn't see her name among the overall winners. But if you looked in the results for the oldest age group, chances are you would find her there. She was a fixture at several races, especially near Concord, NC, where she lived and grew up. Being decades older than most of her competitors, she sometimes finished last.

But she always finished with a smile!

I only met Hagerty a couple of times, when we both happened to run in the same race. We would chat afterwards, and I was smitten by her friendly personality and positive outlook. I also know she was a reader of this column, since she mentioned a quote of mine in a piece she wrote here in Running Journal, following her finish at the New York City Marathon last year. I said in my March column that “you haven't lived if you didn't run the New York Marathon at least once,” and she agreed with me on that one!

The last time I saw Hagerty in person was at the 2012 Winter Flight 8K, which served as the RRCA 8K State Championship that year. I took the picture accompanying this article following that race. And I remember talking to her about the race we just ran, in chilly temperatures and under a cloudy sky.

But it was not until after her passing that I learned a few things about her that proved what a truly remarkable woman she was. First, she didn't start running until age 64. Taking up running is a brave move by any woman who grew up at a time when we were told that “women are not supposed to sweat,” and when there were very few female athletes to look up to as role models. And it was even more remarkable of her to take it up in her 60s.

This is an age when we often have to convince not only ourselves but also those around us that we are not “too old,” whenever we want to embark on a new adventure or take up a new pursuit.

I can relate to this dilemma on a personal level, since I happen to be 64 years old myself. Sometimes my main challenge is

By Lena Hollmann

to convince myself that I am still capable of accomplishing something that I want to do, for example running the Napa Valley Marathon last year. But sometimes it is other people that need to be convinced.

This I have found to be much harder, and I haven't always been successful here.

There will always be a few people who see me as “just another old lady” no matter how fast or far I'm able to run, and no matter how well I can teach my fitness classes.

Therefore, when I reflect on Hagerty's decision to put on running gear and hit the road at age 64, I can't help but assume that there must have been a few 'naysayers' around her too. She must have had to endure a few stares and disapproving remarks. The obituary says nothing about this, only that she took up running as part of a successful attempt to quit smoking.

Margaret Hagerty

But I read between the lines and realized that she must have been a woman of remarkable inner strength. If she did face disapproval and snide remarks, she obviously was able to shake them off. But I'm sure she also had supporters who encouraged her and helped her move forward on her journey. Regardless, starting a running career in your mid-60s and sticking with it is very impressive.

And yes indeed, stick with it she did!

Not only did she participate in several local races over the years, but she also completed a marathon on each of the seven continents. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, she is the oldest person to have done so. She was 72 years old when she started this quest at the Athens Peace Marathon in Greece.

Nine years later, at age 81, she completed the seven continents by running the Gold Coast Airport Marathon in Australia.

Altogether she ran 81 marathons, her last one being the New York City Marathon last year. At age 91 she was the oldest finisher here too, and for this accomplishment she received the Gwendolyn Clark Award.

It was belief in herself that inspired Hagery to not only attempt, but also complete several accomplishments which many would consider impossible at any age. For example, embarking on a seven

5

continent marathon tour is remarkable in itself, but doing so at age 72 is beyond impressive. However I found a quote by her in a 'Runners who Inspire' blog, that explains it all: “You do not know what is possible until you try the impossible and make it a hard fought effort to succeed.

You will be amazed at what you can achieve.” These are words of wisdom to remember next time we wonder whether we are “too old” to take on new challenges, whether running related or not.

She made me think about my own life, and recent challenges that I have chosen either to accept or to turn down. An example of the former is to pull away from my familiar environment here in North Carolina and start a new life in South Florida. Something I decided to do now when I'm still “young enough” - but would I do it if I were 10 years older? On the other hand, I decided not to follow in the footsteps of several of my running friends and run a marathon or half marathon in every state. I admit that being “too old” may have been a partial excuse here, but it is also because it is a big investment in time and finances. Instead I want to focus on quality right now when it comes to my running. Faster times in other words - like breaking 25 minutes in the 5K once again!

And I can always change my mind a few years from now if I want to, and decide to go for it! With Margaret Hagerty as a role model, I will never be too old for anything. So if later on I have the opportunity and desire to run another marathon, or one in every state, or one on each continent, age will not stop me in my tracks. I have realized that being “too old” is usually just one of those standard excuses, similar to being “too busy” or “too slow,” which prevent us from reaching our true potential. Or in some instances these excuses may tell us that we woul rather pursue something different. The point here is that if there's something on our bucket list that we really want to do, we should not be afraid to take the plunge! Margaret Hagerty did, and not only did it take her around the world, but it also got her into the Guinness record book.

But what sums up the philosophy of her life is the final line in her obituary: “Margaret believed in the power of sport to prepare young women to assume their rightful place on this planet”. Her family requested that memorial donations go to Girls on the Run International (www.girlsontherun.org), in lieu of sending flowers.

And it is not too late to donate!

He Said, She Said What Mileage Marks Your Longest Run? Maybe it was the 26.2 miles of a marathon. Perhaps it was the namesake of the marathon cut in half. It could have been 5 miles that felt like 50, or a 50k that By seemed more like a walk in the park. For Mary Marcia Brown some runners, the distance really matters, while others are content to take things stride by stride while simply savoring the sweetness of each step.

Whether the goal is to achieve the successful completion of a pre-determined distance, or to just genuinely enjoy the Trail Running is just one of the more journey, runners typically remember the number that indicates their longest trek.

This month, I met with American Olympian, Jeff Galloway to ask, “What mileage marks your longest run?”

He (Jeff Galloway) said…

“Thirty-five miles,” the youth-exuding Jeff Galloway told me at a recent Meet and Greet event hosted by Lakeland, Florida's local running store, FITniche.

At 70-years old, Galloway seemed two decades younger. A man after my own heart of color coordinated fashion, Galloway's lime green “Jeff Galloway” shirt was complimented with hints of green seen on his hat, shorts, shoes, and watches (which he wore on both wrists).

His eyes were wide with interest, his smile spread effortlessly across his face as he recounted competitive and recreational runs from his past, and energy emanated from his toes to his fingertips as he talked to me about the run-walk-run training method he founded to help expose our sport of running to millions.

“The deal is to run in segments,” Galloway explained, giving me tips to share with runners interested in tackling the Tick Tock Ultra Marathon & Team Relay event in NC this month.

He detailed a long training weekend to me, describing 10 to 12-mile segments, followed by no more than four hours of rest, before repeating the cycle again.

“The point is to carry fatigue through the whole weekend,” Galloway said, expounding on how the training technique can be beneficial for runners preparing for an ultra run.

His book, Trail Running, outlines the training in more detail. “It talks about how to train for a 50k, 50-mile, 100k, and 100-mile,” Galloway said.

than 20 books Galloway has written, including North America's best-selling running book, Galloway's Book on Running. As a columnist for Runner's World magazine, Galloway has also written countless articles. He conducts training sessions, hosts running retreats, and owns the oldest running specialty store, Phidippides Running Store, which he founded in 1973.

Yet he is probably best well known by many for being a US 10,000 meter

Olympian in 1972. Often training with other running legends like Steve Prefontaine, Frank Shorter, and Bill Rodgers, Galloway was also an alternate for the US marathon team.

Needless to say, the American Olympian has experienced his fair share of marathon training. In fact, it was during one of his marathon training runs that Galloway ran his longest run ever - the 35-miler. He was training on one of the trails in the Florida Panhandle. When training for a marathon, Galloway would dependably run 30-milers.

“I got lost,” he said, beaming a bright smile.

I smiled, too. It was surreal standing among the Nike, HOKA, Adidas, Newton, and Saucony running shoes while talking to a living running legend. I glanced down at Galloway's shoes before parting ways. I couldn't help but wonder what type of mileage they had yet to see.

She (Mary Maria Brown) said…

The year 2015 was touted to be the year of my journey to the long distance landmark. In fact, it still is. The journey will simply start a little later than the “on or before” July 5th” date I had intended.

July marked a milestone birthday for me, so I wanted to commemorate the year with a long-distance race. However, as life will see fit, it has sprinkled my year with countless surprises - some welcomed and several not. Nonetheless, I continue to chisel away, looking towards the last quarter of the year, and wondering which longdistance race will work best.

In contemplating the lucky choice, I thought, “who better to turn to for suggestions and advice than my running friends and readers of Running Journal?” I therefore turn this month's question to you and ask, “Which race do you recommend I run to realize my longest race to date?”

Before deciding, take the following considerations and preferences to mind: 1- For my first long distance race, I am feeling like a “flat and fast” fan. I think this would help me feel more confident stepping up to the starting line, and optimistically, the course would lend itself to an outcome that helps me feel confident stepping up to starting lines of subsequent long- distance events.

2- While well-groomed trails are often an enjoyable change-of-typical-runningvenue for me, I probably prefer a paved surface for starts.

3- The clock on 2015 is ticking. That means that only an October, November or CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

Distance Memories Extreme Runners Featured in Forthcoming Book The finishing touches were just made on my latest book project, Running to Extremes: The Legendary Athletes of Ultrarunning. The book, scheduled for publication by Meyer and Meyer in the spring of 2016, portrays 15 fascinating people in the sport of long-distance running. The project was so vast I couldn't possibly have done it alone. So I asked a few friends - and accomplished runners if they'd mind joining me. To their credit, they all said yes.

Therefore I want to recognize those who sacrificed their time and effort towards the publication of the book. Each of these contributors - all more than worthy of being written about in books themselves - has helped make the compilation of the book an exciting and pleasurable experience for me. I also thought it might be a good time to whet your appetite towards reading the book once it's published.

Ladies and gentlemen, my fantastic writing staff: Steve Boone - Steve lives and runs in Humble, Texas. He has over 600 marathon finishes to his credit that includes a marathon in all 50 states five times and more than 200 in the state of Texas. He cofounded the 50 States Marathon Club with his wife Paula in 2001 which now boasts a membership of 3,700. He started and continues to fund the Marathon Challenge Program which awards T-shirts to local elementary school children who complete the marathon distance during the academic school year. Over the last 22 years the program has grown from 14 finishers the first year to 9,300 finishers in 2014. Steve and Paula traveled to Kochi, India in 2014 to start the program in local elementary schools.

Bonnie Busch - Born, raised and still living in Iowa, Bonnie has been doing information technology work for over 25 years for an equipment manufacturer. She started recreational running in 1982 in order to complete the Bix 7-Mile Road Race with a group of friends. She 'accidentally' discovered ultrarunning six years later through a local 24-hour run and slowly started to discover ultrarunning events from 50K to multiday adventures on both roads and trails. Amongst her credentials are 40+ races of 100 miles or more, 190+ ultramarathon finishes, the 1995 National USA 24-Hour Female Championship, three Badwater finishes, a solo run across

By Scott Ludwig

Iowa and learning how to swim in 2005, and going on to complete 15 Ironmans.

Bonnie is still running and willing to try anything once.

Gary Corbitt - Gary is retired from a 38year career in Media Research. Today he focuses his attention on preserving the history of long-distance running. As curator of the Ted Corbitt Archives, his primary mission is preserving his father's legacy and that of the other “Founding Fathers of

7

Long Distance Running.”

Gary had a unique view of watching the sport being invented. He considers himself a historian of the sport, and remembers when women couldn't officially run in road races or race in track meets above 800 meters. Gary as a child and teenager often volunteered in various capacities at races. He been a fan of the sport since the early 1960s, and continues to run races today in the 60 - 64 age category.

David Corfman - David began running marathons in 1997 and four years later he began adding ultramarathons to his resume. Today he has over 60 finishes in both. His running accomplishments include a silver buckle at Western States in 2009, a Badwater finish in 2010, and 1,000-mile buckles at both the Mohican 100-Mile Trail Race and the Potawatomi Trail Race. He currently leads pace groups at marathons and directs the Stone Steps 50K Trail Race in Cincinnati while continuing to race long distances. David's favorite race distance is 100 miles, where he has painfully learned that no finish is ever given or assumed and every finish is a triumph.

Dave Dial - Dave grew up in rural east Texas and had a horse before he ever had a bicycle. However, he is fond of saying he “found his legs first.” With that in mind, it was as a child he initially discovered his love for running. By his teen years, having already run numerous miles on dirt roads and through forest trails in the Davy Crockett National Forest - to get from one place to another or simply for fun - he began keeping a running log in a spiral notebook. Some 40-odd years later Dave, currently working as a cattle ranch foreman on land owned by his family for decades, has amassed over 171,000 lifetime miles. He also serves as an ambassador for Injinji Footwear in addition to wear testing high performance athletic shoes for Sketchers.

Mark Falcone - Mark is retired after 30 years working in the field of technology.

He met Tim Twietmeyer 15 years ago when the two of them stopped working for Corporate America and ventured into their own start-up. Mark and Tim run, ride and serve as long term Board Members of the Western States Endurance Run Foundation. They both share a love for the preservation of trails.

David Horton - David is a professor of Exercise Science at Liberty University (Lynchburg, Virginia). He currently directs three ultramarathons: Holiday Lake 50K, Promise Land 50K and Hellgate 100K. David ran for 33 years, compiling over 113,000 miles and 160

Ultra Running Observations From A Race For The Ages “Ultramately” there were a lot of miles run. Fifteen thousand seven hundred ninety! Let me do that in slow motion….

15,790! A Race for The Ages lived up to its promises and more. 163 runners recorded mileage. 114 of them went at least 100 miles. Three men in their 80's all covered 101 miles. That put them ahead of the 27 runners who stopped at exactly 100 miles.

The three octogenarians, who were clever enough to do that extra mile, were joined by 12 additional runners at 101 miles. Six runners were extra clever, and ran 102 miles. After that it was all about the competition.

Joe Fejes, currently America's (and arguably World's) best multi-day runner won with 200 miles. He could have gone further. Second place was 20 miles behind. The next 20 miles saw nine more runners finish, including woman's winner Liz Bauer, 7th overall with 164 miles. She could have gone further.

By Ray Krolewicz

Last month, I mentioned a few names of participants. They did well, but then again everyone did well. On a weekend with a serious rainstorm, tremendous heat, and a course that meandered enough up and down its slight hills to be challenging, the greatest obstacle to better performances had nothing to do with the elements or the course. The greatest impediment to performance was the other runners, and the desire to run with, converse with and enjoy the event with some fascinating people.

I found myself at one point in a group

of five runners, all who had directed races over an extended number of years. I felt like an imposter amidst the likes of Dave Horton and Richard Innamoratto. I watched legends meet legends, faces known through Ultrarunning, Running Journal and social media. Stories learned by conversation and shared time on the course.

I found myself at another point in a group of runners, all who had set records and won championships over an extended number of years. I felt like an imposter amidst the likes of Ann Trason, Ed Dodd, Lion Caldwell and others.

I watched Ann Trason, who despite her kajillion wins at Western States and other ultras traverse the course as graciously as

Joe Fejes ran 200 miles to top the field at A Race For The Ages

she used to sit in the stands at Auburn High School after winning Western States … to greet subsequent finishers, right up to the 30-hour cutoff. She made many new friends, as did so many of the elites from years gone by. I heard many times about how approachable everyone was.

Approachability was the truth of this event. Those who came knew this was a celebration of 5 decades of the sport.

Accolades won during that time span were recognized and appreciated. New accomplishments were recorded. The runners got to visit each other as they ran, ate, rested and shared themselves with the event and each other.

Others are still pouring over the results determining what records were set. From Don Winkley setting an age group record at 48 hours, to four, or was it five new runners joining the select group of those who have run 100 miles in FIVE consecutive decades. The records will be acknowledged in print as statistics. The camaraderie was undefinable.

Runners renewed old friendships and they made new ones. Old competitive rivalries were forgotten …. Or were they?

A look at the finishing results showed the names from the top of the results column from the past had largely returned there.

Past and current champions battled, particularly in the final hours to establish their places, to move up one more spot.

This was, and regardless of the effect of the shared time on course, remained a competition. While some claimed to not concern themselves with results, the results say otherwise. As a result we saw the 114 people surpass 100 miles, with 27 stopping at that goal mileage with the 21 more going that one or two extra (competitive) miles.

It was indeed a race for the ages as well as a race for the aged. Eight of the top 10 were over 60 years of age. Another seven in the next 10, giving 15 of the top 20 that status were over 60. The older runners relied on experience to hold off the younger runners' youth and speed.

People say “Wait till next year!” I'm not sure if this is that kind of event. However, in about 10 years...

The Athlete’s Kitchen Fruits & Veggies: Do you eat too few?

Don’t let Feeling ashamed and embarrassed, many runners “confess” they eat too few fruits and vegetables. They totally understand that fruits and veggies are good for their health and better than vitamin pills, but they can’t figure out how to enjoy them more often — or how to get inspired to learn to like them. Sound familiar? Maybe this article will help you boost your intake of these healthful sports foods.

I know I should more fruit for snacks, but I just don’t…

When hunger strikes, a piece of fruit is unlikely to be your snack of first choice because it is not very hearty. That is, calorie-dense apple pie with ice cream can easily be far more appealing than just an apple. One solution: plan to make the snack heartier by pairing fruit with protein. For example, enjoy an apple (or grapes) with cheese; smear a banana with peanut butter; or combine raisins with nuts. Would that boost the snack-appeal?

How many fruits/veggies are enough?

Ideally, you should eat a fruit or vegetable at each meal. If you don’t/won’t/can’t do that, at least eat a pile of veggies with dinner to compensate for no produce at the other meals. You could also create a loaded smoothie at breakfast that has enough fruit (and veg) for the whole day. Other suggestions include: Breakfast: large banana on cereal; lots of berries in yogurt; tall glass of orange juice Lunch: extra tomato and spinach in a wrap; big bowl of fruit salad; large apple (with cheese) for dessert Snacks: tart cherry, grape or blueberry juice; banana (with peanut butter); dates; dried pineapple; V-8 juice Dinner: Pre-dinner, munchies: baby carrots (with hummus), cherry tomatoes; At dinner: big pile of cooked veggies; extralarge side salad.

The more you eat, the more nutrients you get.

Eight ounces of orange juice offers all the vitamin C you need for the day. So does one stalk of cooked broccoli and half a green pepper. Could you consume a taller glass of OJ, a bigger pile of broccoli, or munch on a whole pepper (like you’d eat an apple)? You’d consume double the vitamin C — plus electrolytes and many other health-boosting compounds.

What if I don’t like kale…?

Although kale is nutrient–rich, it is not the only green vegetable with health-value. Here’s how some green veggies compare, based on a 50-calorie cooked portion. (Note: “%” = % of the amount you should consume each day):

nutrition 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!

YELLOW pineapple, peaches, summer squash BLUE/PURPLE blueberry, plums, eggplant, purple grapes GREEN kiwi, honeydew melon, green grapes, broccoli, spinach, kale, peppers WHITE banana, onion, potato, cauliflower But they rot…

Many runners live alone, rarely cook, and get tired of wasting money tossing out rotten produce. If that’s your case, some solutions include: • Buy bags of frozen vegetables and fruits (freezing retains the nutrients); even canned ones are nourishing.

• Buy the desired portion of greens and other salad (or stirfry) ingredients at the salad bar. Instead of buying a whole head of lettuce, of which half might end up rotting in your refrigerator, buy just what you need.

• Cook enough veggies for several days. For example, bake several sweet potatoes at once, or make a big pot of ratatouille with eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini, and onion to enjoy for the week.

Can I eat too many fruits and vegetables?

Doubtful, unless you eat them to the exclusion of other foods. For example: • If your dinner is just rice with stir-fried veggies (no tofu, chicken, or protein-rich food), the meal lacks adequate protein to build and repair muscles. Solution: Either add a protein, include a glass of milk with the meal, or enjoy Greek yogurt for dessert.

• If you follow a Paleo-type diet and eat just protein and veggies for meals (no grain), your meal could easily lack adequate carbs to refuel from hard exercise. Solution: include starchy root vegetables, such as carrots and beets.

• If you are a vegetarian and prepare pasta with just tomato sauce (no meatballs), the meal lacks protein. Solution: choose protein-enriched pasta, and add a salad with beans, nuts, extra cheese.

• If you are dieting without success, you might be consuming more calories than you realize from yet-another handful of grapes. That (large) apple might have 150 calories, as does the bag of baby carrots. While the calories are healthful and preferable to cookies, they still count. Fruits and veggies tend to be “guilt-free” but they are not totally “calorie-free.”

Don’t like many veggies?

Because fruits and vegetables offer similar nutrients, you can swap one for the other. That is, if you don’t enjoy red tomatoes, at least try to have red strawberries, red apples or red peppers. In general, you want to consume a variety of colors of fruits and/or veggies—and enjoy a rainbow of health: RED strawberries, apples, watermelon, tomato ORANGE oranges, mango, papaya, sweet potato

Running Through the Age Groups Aaahh, Break from Heat, Hello Hills & Two Must-Do Races!

Wow! What a difference a few thousand feet can make! After “toughing it through” some of the dog days of an August summer in Wilmington, I finally “reaped my reward” when we were scheduled to spend two weeks in Linville, NC (elevation 3,600 feet) to prepare our mountain house for much-needed renovations. We left Wilmington on a sultry 80degree morning for our six-hour. When we arrived and were greeted to temps in the low 60's, I breathed one gigantic sigh of relief.

Linville is a beautiful, quaint little berg at the base of Grandfather Mountain in the northwestern part of the state, not far from Boone and close to several ski resorts and lots of local tourist attractions. Running in Linville is a veritable hoot; there are no flat areas and thus no such thing as an “easy” run.

I chuckle every time my coach calls for an easy day; because our house sits about halfway up a small mountain, every workout ends with a half-mile long hill workout. Even with the steep hills and extra altitude, I found my training runs to be refreshing rather than dreadful.

The philosophy indeed differs; instead of trying to maintain a certain pace per mile, you must be cognizant of how your body feels and focus on effort level.

From our house, the 8-minute mile going down the hill seems much easier than a 9:30-mile coming back up the hill. It really takes your mind off of distance and allows you to be “in the moment,” thereby making for an extremely enjoyable running experience.

Our schedule enabled me to run two races during our stint, one which has been on my bucket list for over 30 years, and the other being a relatively new half marathon with an amazing course. Many of you have probably heard of the Maggie Valley Moonlight 8K, one of the longestrunning 8K races in the state. This one was my bucket list race; the idea of a nighttime race in a charming little mountain town has held my fancy for years.

This year's Maggie Valley race took place the evening of August 22. The trip from Linville was longer than I had expected; for some reason I have a hard time believing that everything in the mountains is not necessarily close to everything else. The race was scheduled to start at 8:30 p.m. (needless to say, an

By Mary Margaret McEachern

odd starting time for a race, but the “moonlight” aspect of it was the whole point!). We arrived in Maggie Valley around 3 p.m. and checked into a charming little inn situated about a half mile from the start/finish area. Our room bordered a babbling brook, and had a little private porch area where you could sit back in a rocker and enjoy; it was like going back in time.

After retrieving my packet and taking a nice rest, I ate my customary pre-race oatmeal and jogged to the start. Rob was in a position at the inn where he could see me about a half mile after the start and then again around the 2-mile point. He could then make his way down to see me finish. The course was a double out-andback affair, with the first 1.2 miles uphill, the middle 2.4 miles downhill, and the final 1.2 miles back up the hill. The hill didn't seem bad; it was actually pretty gradual compared with the hills in Linville, and the elevation was slightly lower as well.

After a fun warmup, we were off right on time. The race was much bigger than I expected, with about 450 runners. My race plan involved being conservative on the first uphill and then banking as much time as possible on the downhill (I am a much stronger descender than climber), and then just hang on for dear life during the last portion. Well, the Linville training must have been working, because I went through the first mile in 7:44, and it felt like about an 8-minute effort.

Feeling good and enjoying the heck out of all the fans as well as the excitement of running at night, I rounded the first turn and proceeded to fly back down the hill.

This was great fun as I was passing runner after runner, and it seemed like I was going even faster due to it being dark. I managed a couple of sub-7 miles before turning around for the climb home.

I must admit that I was concerned I

wouldn't be able to hold a respectable pace in the last mile because I had blown my plan right out the window, but surprisingly, thanks to a couple of women just ahead of me who kept me focused, I was able to post a 7:33 final mile, outkicking one of them and placing first in my age group and fourth masters overall.

The post-race party and awards ceremony was a blast, complete with beer and a live band. This event is a definite must-do for anyone seeking something really fun and really different!

After a nice, restful evening sleeping with the door open so we could be lulled by the babbling brook, we took off for Linville and another week of incredible weather with highs in the mid-70's and lows in the 50's at night, with no humidity! Both Rob and I were amazed to be pulling out sweat clothes in August!

The ensuing week was busy as we were preparing the house for major cosmetic renovations. We are having new floors installed, a repaint, and wallpaper placed as well as new bathroom fixtures and a host of other updates. Preparing the house was like moving; all pictures and “sit-arounds” had to be put away, and we had to coordinate with contractors, pick out fixtures, wallpapers and paints; it was a job! Needless to say, I didn't need to worry about formal strength training that week.

I took the week easily with running, as I had developed an odd pain in my right foot probably due to the downhill part of the Maggie Valley race, so I wanted to make sure this didn't translate into an injury. My plans for the following weekend included the High Country Half Marathon, which I had done back in 2013 and which I was dying to tackle again.

When Friday night came and the pain in my foot was minimal, I decided the race was a “go”!

This incredible race course runs from Boone to Blowing Rock and includes a full 1,500 feet of climbing and 1,000 feet of descent for a net elevation gain of a approximately 500 feet. The course peaks at 3,900 feet of altitude and the hills are much steeper than those of Maggie Valley. The course includes the first half of the fabled Grandfather Mountain Marathon, considered among the top 10 toughest in the world.

After starting with a lap of the

Appalachian State University track and an initial two miles of “blessed” flats where I was able to post sub-8:00 splits, we tackled a tough 4.5 miles uphill, including sharply banked switchback roads. Then there was an exciting 2-mile descent along one of the prettiest roads I have ever seen.

Then we were faced with more steep climbing until about the 10-mile point when, thank heavens, we reached the Blue Ridge Parkway for about 1.5 miles of slight descent…ahhh! One volunteer told me I was in fourth place, which surprised me (being a mere flatlander) and fueled me to take on the tough last mile, which was almost entirely uphill until the final 400 meters which consisted of a heart-stopping, screaming descent! I was able to hold off two ladies who had been steadily catching me the past few miles, and I even had a hard time putting on the brakes after the finish!

Thankfully again to my Linville training, I was able to handle the race much better than the last time, and bested my then-time by over 12 minutes! My time was 1:52, which - while slower than my usual half marathon - was good for this bear of a course. It was good for fifth overall finish (behind 4 twenty-somethings all from Boone) and first in my age group, which I will take any day!

This race course is as beastly as it is beautiful, and while not for the faint of heart, is runnable with good training, planning, and realistic expectations. You will not get a PR, but you will enjoy a marvelous experience; frankly, I've never seen such a gorgeous course. The race was a nice size, with about 250 runners, wonderfully organized while maintaining a low-key, runner-friendly feel. Just terrific all around.

As I wrap up this article, we are headed down the road back to Wilmington.

Yes, more heat and humidity but, thankfully, the worst is probably past now that fall is here. In fact, when you read this article, we will likely be back in the High Country enjoying the fall foliage, more wonderful runs, and hopefully, the fruits of our labor on the house. 'Til then, happy running!

Running Fitness

Setting Goals and Tuning Out Noise Goals can be as varied as you want them to be. Your goal may have nothing to do with anybody else's. A fitness goal is often centered around a life event such as a wedding or high school reunion. You want to shape up for, or try to recapture a semblance of your former self. Some of that may be realistic. Getting to your high school weight may not. Although I must say, I weigh less now, a lot less now, than I did in high school when I routinely delved into 28 flavors of ice cream in any given month. It is more than possible on a vegan diet, especially when combined with a sensible exercise program.

Using Any Plan as an End Goal: Beyond the nebulous event goal comes the “How do I get there from here?” If you are starting from the couch with no exercise program currently in place, or have never run at all, there are actually popular plans online called “Couch to 5K” that can get you ready to run a 5K or 3.1 mile race in as little as 8 weeks, walking and then running a total of 20-30 minutes 3 times a week. That probably will mean that you won't break any course records, but the goal with many training programs is simply to finish. Or as I'm always prescribing for my clients, as well as myself, “finish without injury.”

Especially in the early days of training and competing, if you get injured, you're not likely to jump back into a training program with the same level of enthusiasm you had in the beginning.

If you already have a walking and/or running and biking program in place, picking a race to train for is what often motivates athletes. Many training programs online that you can also download to your smartphone allow you to pick the date of the race, and then, if there is enough preparation time, the app will “backtime” to the race date and tell you everything you need to do every day leading up the race. Rest days are built into the schedule and you often pick the degree of difficulty of training. Usually one day of the week will be your “long” run, whatever that translates into for you.

If your plan is just to develop a better level of fitness, a more gradual training plan may be good for you. Ideally, starting with walking and then building either a faster speed which may or may not

Leap of Faith. The Injury: Part III

Lessons Learned From Watching Peachtree

These three words best describe 2015 for me: Leap of faith.

While not a huge fan of Wikipedia; that is where I found my favorite definition of leap of faith: an act of attempting something whose outcome cannot be proved. I actually feel powerful just writing those words. Like many people, I do not embrace change but this year I did. I had to. I learned from my injury, my physical therapist, my personal trainer, and my dietician. I made changes that I never would have made on my own.

The injury has really taught me to listen to my body. That phrase gets thrown around a lot but I mean I have really learned to listen and adjust based on what it is telling me. I revise the training schedule, take that extra rest day, hydrate and fuel my body properly, take the nap, sleep in, and do all the recovery things I used to skip. I am far from perfect in my execution of all these things, but I at least think about them and make them a higher priority.

With persistence, consistency, and time I hope I get to a point where I just do these things without even really thinking about them.

My physical therapist and personal trainer have given me many great strength training workouts to improve both my overall fitness and strength and more specifically strengthen my running specific muscles. These workouts combined with marathon training have transformed my body. In seven months, I lost 2.9% body fat, two inches in my waist, one and a half inches in my hips, and five pounds. These are not staggering improvements but for a 42year-old runner, I was pretty excited about them. More importantly, these strength workouts have replaced all of my speed workouts while training for my marathon. I feel fit and ready but that's still one big leap of faith.

Enter the dietician. I have never been willing to work on my diet until I was not able to run, my weight started to increase, and I no longer felt comfortable in my own skin. Between the lack of burning calories through running and all the comfort food I ate to console myself when I could not run, I reached a point where walking, strength training, and cycling were not enough to maintain my normal weight. I began tracking calories in an app on my phone and only became discouraged as it “told me” to eat fewer and fewer calories to lose weight.

It wasn't working.

It was only when I was willing to be honest with my dietician, make changes like trying new foods and cutting back on sweets, and eating more calories per day than I ever have that things started to work for me. Eating more was the answer. More protein, more complex carbohydrates, more vegetables, more fruit, and more overall calories each day resulted in me having more energy, fewer cravings for sweets, and allowed me to run the highest mileage weeks of my life and recover from it all. This was an even bigger leap of faith as eating more to lose (weight, body fat, etc.) has always seemed contradictory to me.

The Peachtree Road Race no longer works for me as a runner. I still regard the event as a race and wish I could train hard enough to still start on the starting line or nearby. These days most of my energy would be spent just getting to the event. Perhaps when I get to the point where I can run the race for fun with no performance expectations, I will return.

However, the Peachtree is still part of my July 4th celebration. I set an alarm, make coffee, and watch the race unfold on television. This year's race had two teachable moments.

The first lesson was “Do not let rain stop you from training or racing.” This year's Peachtree was run in the rain. If you had never run on a rainy day during training, would you be ready for a wet day on race morning?

Growing up in Carrollton, GA, I was blessed to have attended Carrollton High School, a track & field powerhouse which has won over 25 state championships including an allclassification state title in the 1950's. In fact, in March we were doing interval training in snow flurries while the football team practiced in the gym. (In those days, football spring training was in the spring.)

On Wednesday evenings, I have been conducting a group workout for 32 years. We have canceled the workout 3 times, twice for ice and snow on the roads and once for lingering thunder and lightning. In fact, those are our criteria for cancellation: poor footing from snow and ice or lightning.

At Furman University six or seven years ago, Dave Wottle, 1972 Olympic champion at 800 meters, was the speaker at a track function. In his talk, he mentioned that he trained during inclement weather because he assumed his competitors were not.

The second memorable moment from this year's Peachtree was the finish of the open race. The leading runner thought he had won and began giving the number one sign with his index finger. The second runner was not convinced the race was over and passed the celebrating leader in the final step. The lesson is obvious: run past the finish line.

Over 50 years of running, I have seen this scenario many times. Hopping into the wayback machine, let's go back to Carrollton High School in 1964. My rival from the other school ran on my right shoulder screeching like he was being tortured.

I take George Sheehan's words to heart, “We are each an experiment of one.” I have learned so much from my dietician, physical therapist, personal trainer, and myself through this journey. I am excited to share what I have learned with all the athletes I coach. I have done the experiment and experienced great results in general overall fitness. Now we will see the true result of the experiment as I attempt to

By Lee Fidler

I thought the finish line would never arrive.

Relaxing in the final step, I glided across the line and Ernie caught me. The race was a photo-finish with no photo. Several minutes later, my coach put his arm around my shoulder and said, “the race was a tie but we gave him second because you stopped before the line. I was third and the point difference was enough to put my varsity letter in jeopardy. I had 9 points; 10 were needed for a letter; second place would have given me 11!

About 5 years ago, I was at a high school invitational at Roswell High School. In the girls' distance medley, the green team led for the entire race. However, during the mile, the last leg, the blue team runner began catching the green team runner. At the finish line Ms. green coasted across and was passed in the last step. After leading for 10 laps, the green team lost the relay in the final step.

You never know when you will need that extra second or two. I have a client who was a 47+ minute 10K runner. One year he qualified for one of the top Peachtree seedings by running 41:58. He qualified by three seconds.

Be prepared for anything Mother Nature may throw at you. Do not experience something in a race which you have not experienced in training. Get out even if the weather is hot, cold, windy, or wet.

The race is not over until the finish line is crossed. Always run past it. You can catch your breath then.

After this year's Peachtree, it was still raining. I had a good time splashing through the puddles after the TV coverage ended.

Women’s Running Enjoy The Process And Leave Your Watch Behind Over the past few months, as I have spent weeks in hospital settings, I am amazed in this day and age how many ladies have a desire to run but have no idea how to start. I have spent hours counseling women on starting a program. Having ladies see me go out every day and run has definitely motivated more than a few ladies.

First off let me say that contrary to past ideas in the world of fitness, walking is getting many ladies to the stage of running, or to a Galloway run/walk. I do remember a former mover and shaker in the world of running referring to walkers as the horrible "W"'s.

She never wanted any "W" in any of her races. Today it seems that walkers are embraced in the running community as part of the process. We all have to start somewhere and walking gets you moving and out the door.

The first thing I tell anyone who asks is to forget time and distance and begin by enjoying the process. Start slowly and increase gradually. Take tiny steps and reward yourself for each step forward. I have encouraged many women to find a group or a program that takes it slowly. Setting a goal of completing a 5K in the future gives a person a focus.

There are many ladies only 5ks where every woman entered is a hero and applauded for crossing the finish line. Nothing thrills me more than going to a ladies race and seeing women of all shapes and sizes and from all walks of life completing the same distance.

I recall many moons ago coaching a woman to run a 10-mile race. She had been doing a few 5 and 10Ks but wanted to do the Avon 10-mile race. I helped her with her training and actually ran a loop of the twoloop course with her before race day. We went to the race together and after I finished I went back out to run the last few miles with her. I have never gotten over the thrill and amazement on her face as she had a medal draped around her neck. You would have thought she had won Olympic gold, and for her it absolutely was that kind of achievement. Not all runners are meant to be speedy and certainly each person should be encouraged to set realistic goals and go for them.

In this day of electronic gadgets and more stuff going on while you run, I encourage each of you to forget the watch and enjoy the process. I am blessed to live in the north Georgia mountains and I must say every day I enjoy my runs. Yes I do train hard and no I do not have any fancy watch or GPS or iPhone or whatever else exists. For me running is pure. It is a time to escape from the world and listen to my body and run free unhindered by technology. I truly believe that

By Carolyn Mather, RN, PhD.

is how I remain injury free despite my penchant for running way too many miles. My body is totally attuned to how I feel and I run accordingly.

Back to starting a program, I encourage you to get a good pair of shoes from a good running store. Get a proper fit and a shoe for your weight and foot strike. Most stores have a treadmill where they can determine what shoe will work best for you. Get some comfortable clothes that do not chafe and feel good to wear. Then get out the door and plan to do it regularly. Walk a little then jog a little. Do not let yourself get out of breath. If you are in a group or with a friend you should be able to hold a conversation while moving.

Do not let a group dictate your pace. Do what is comfortable for you. I can guarantee you will not stick with it if you are uncomfortable all of the time you are moving.

Make the process your time and embrace every moment. Enjoy the feel of your body's movement. Put a smile on your face and realize you are doing this for you and only for you. Make it a selfish time. I find that most women are the caretakers of everyone but themselves. Change that attitude for a period each day and concentrate on you. If you do not take care of yourself, no one else will. You have many different things pulling you in many different directions, but you need to care for yourself and nothing does it better than getting out and enjoying nature.

And if you are a mom, engage your children in your activity. Getting your children outside and enjoying a quiet walk or light run may be the perfect way to establish communication and leave the electronics home. I think in this day and age all of us can use some time by ourselves or with others of like mind. The process is what is important. Enjoy it and do not make it complicated. Keep your walking/running simple as it was intended.

The peace you will find will amaze you.

This Running Life

www.running.net

Down the Road

Runners Dream of Super Power Abilities Two Seconds Per Pound Per Mile About 20 years ago, I had a friend who was a flight attendant for United Airlines, based in Los Angeles. He served celebrities all the time and was used to seeing their familiar faces on his flights. One day, he was walking down the aisle and nearly collided with a passenger. He looked up and straight into the clear blue eyes of Lynda Carter, Wonder Woman.

“She was so shockingly beautiful, I fainted,” he admitted.

Wonder Woman's super powers are superhuman strength, agility, durability and endurance.

Carter's particular version of Wonder Woman added in the enviable ability to cause grown men to faint merely by looking into their eyes.

Now that's what I call a super power.

Yeah, yeah, Wonder Woman has the curves, the outfit, and the hypnotic eyes, but who needs all that when you could be Pippi Longstocking, my childhood super hero?

Pippi, with the haywire red pig tails and freckles, is the nine-year-old daughter of a wayfaring sea captain and grew up sailing the high seas on her father's ship. The captain thought his daughter needed a life on dry land, so he bought her a house, where she lived with a pet horse and a monkey.

Pippi lived alone and took care of herself.

She had super human strength, making her so strong, she could pick up her horse and carry it around.

Thanks to the Avengers, Batman, Superman, and yes, Wonder Woman, area runners are dreaming of their super powers.

I know this because I asked them, and as if they were really going to get themselves some super powers they made like a bunch of kids on Santa's lap at Christmas and struggled to choose just one.

Kathy Broyles of Raleigh started out with several in mind. She thought and pondered and went back and forth weighing the pros and cons of each and almost couldn't decide at all.

Then her eyes lit up.

“I would love to be a time traveler and have the ability to speak and understand all the languages of the world,” she said. And with those lofty powers, she could go on to create world peace.

Like Pippi and me, Pam Matz of Raleigh would use her super strength to be independent.

“As someone who has no strength, I would use super strength do all those things I think I need a man to do. Then I would not really need a man,” she said.

If Amber Boger, a Raleigh runner, could only stop time, she would avoid running late for appointments and possibly get a better time in a race, she says. She could also hold off the start of a crack-of-dawn race start time and sleep in.

For runners seeking super powers, having lightning speed is too obvious so it was off the table.

That little wrinkle didn't stop Apex athlete Beci Markijohn. She just went into creative

By Teri Saylor

strategizing mode, reckoning if her super power could not be speed, then she'd just opt for slowing everyone else down.

“I'd like the ability to freeze everyone around me,” she said. “Then it wouldn't matter that I'm slow.”

Jerry Canterbury of Cary would like unlimited energy so he would never get tired.

Joey Anderson of Zebulon and Andrea Beasley of Morehead City would like the power to control the weather.

“I would be like (super hero) Storm and have the ability to manipulate the weather,” Andrea said. “That would make planning runs so much easier.”

On a hot day in early September, Joey wished for the power to make it 55 degrees and low humidity.

Amy Surrett of Raleigh would like to be invisible, so she could sneak among her fellow runners in races and hide from her kids. Amy's daughter, Kayla, a teenaged super hero, rolled her eyes and replied she would love to be able to read minds, which might possibly thwart her mom's invisibility strategy.

Raleigh runner Julie Vasquez would enjoy the power of weightlessness.

“I could just float away and no one could catch me,” she said.

Nancy O'Neal, Karen Crews, both of Raleigh. and Jon Odgers of Durham would use their super powers to fight injury.

Nancy, in particular wants to avoid injury altogether with the ability to stretch her limbs out and snap back like Plastic Man. The Terminator is more Jon's style.

“Like Terminator 2, I would like the ability for any injury, no matter how severe, to heal instantly,” he said.

Then there is Dean Karnazes, a real life super human, who has run 350 miles on a treadmill for 80 hours non-stop and completed 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 consecutive days.

Wonder Woman may be able to make grown men faint when she looks into their eyes, but Dean Karnazes has inspired thousands of runners to persevere and finish the race, no matter how long it takes.

As a runner, if you can inspire your friends and family to get active, set goals, and stay healthy, you are a super hero.

Somebody called me thin the other day and it sort of caught me by surprise. In fact it had also happened back in June at my 50th high school reunion even though I weighed 5 pounds more at the reunion than I weighed when I graduated from high school. But then I looked around and it became obvious that I was among the thinnest of the guys at the reunion, even though I weigh 25 pounds more than I did when I ran most of my PRs. I hope you all will make it to your 50th reunion, whether it is way in the future or next year, and that you are still running when you attend. My running, unfortunately ended last January due to complications from a head on car wreck, but I've talked about that before. I had intended to run my entire life and I'll admit I am still running but only in my dreams. I dream more about running now than when I was able to run.

Maybe that just proves that life is strange.

But I digress.

Kathy and I always tried to keep our weight down to help with our running, and we sort of got in the habit of staying in shape due to the impact that pounds have on performance. We've tried to keep our weight within reasonable bounds even though neither of us can run now. But if you mainly associate with runners, it is easy to lose track of or not pay attention to what is happening with the average American.

You only need to go into most any store whose name ends in 'Mart' and your eyes will tell you the story. Most Americans are overweight. In fact the website PublicHealth.org reports that “Inactivity is the New Normal and Lack of exercise is also a major culprit in the obesity epidemic.” And according to the Center for Disease Control, 80% of Americans don't get enough exercise. Even worse they report that more than one-third (34.9% or 78.6 million) of U.S. adults are obese. Not just overweight, but obese. Overweight is a BMI over 25 and obese is a BMI over 30. A normal or healthy weight is considered a BMI between18.5 to 24.9.

But how do runners fit into this picture?

Look at a BMI chart, which you can find easily at the CDC.gov website on the internet. I like the fact that the CDC has taken athletes such as runners into consideration and they have this question on their website: “If an athlete or other person with a lot of muscle has a BMI over 25, is that person still considered to be overweight?

According to the BMI weight status categories, anyone with a BMI between 25 and 29.9 would be classified as overweight and anyone with a BMI over 30 would be classified as obese.

However, athletes may have a high BMI because of increased muscularity rather than increased body fatness. In general, a person who has a high BMI is likely to have body fatness and would be considered to be overweight or obese, but this may not apply

By Cedric Jaggers

to athletes. A trained healthcare provider should perform appropriate health assessments in order to evaluate an individual's health status and risks.”

So let's use a 72 inch tall male who weighs 170 and a 64 inch female who weighs 110 for our examples. What would their BMIs be and where would they be on the chart, range wise? Ladies first; 64 inches and 110 pounds, trace across the BMI chart and you get a BMI of 19 for her. Male 72 and 170, trace across to a BMI of 24. So we have two people in what the CDC considers the normal weight range, one near the bottom of normal and one near the top.

Maybe you guessed it, but I can tell you that these two people are told they are thin quite frequently.

I know when I ran my PRs my BMI was 19, but is not now. Your weight has a direct impact on how fast you can run. I'd like to know the average BMI of all the race winners, male and female. The only guess I'd make is that they are probably in the low end of the normal weight for their height.

Since the pundits say you run 2 seconds faster per mile for each pound of weight you lose, it is easy to understand why the leaders are usually thin. Think about it; ten pounds lighter equals 20 seconds per mile. Since a 10K is 6.21 miles that means you would be two minutes faster (assuming the same amount of training and effort) at the lower weight. I know I ran faster when I learned that my ideal weight was 145 (which for me was right at the bottom of the normal range for my height) and kept it about there.

One caveat - a person can get too light and I could name some folks who got under their ideal running weight thinking they would get faster, but who lost strength and actually ran their races slower. So weight is important, but so is your health. Anyone who thinks it is easy to lose weight or to reach and maintain their ideal weight will learn the hard way.

HE SAID, SHE SAID CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 December event will work to successfully mark this special year.

4- Florida's rays have morphed me into a cold-resistant runner who now finds long sleeves necessary for running in temperatures under 80 (ok…under 70). Either way - the warmer, the better. And finally…

5- Any marathon or ultramarathon distance is an exciting possibility.

I look forward to hearing about your personal experiences. Heeding the advice of runners who have left their footprint on courses of my consideration will help me to make a more informed decision as I step into the last quarter of this year and prepare to mark it with memorable mileage. And naturally, I'll commit the memories (and mile-by-mile recount) to a page of an upcoming Running Journal.

Running Psychology Delayed Gratification

Engineered for the relentless pursuit of faster.

NBLRUNP5128_D_ThirdPage_v1a.indd 1

Modern society has blessed us with the ability to have most of our wants and needs to be fulfilled in an instant.

Things are right at our hands the moment we need them.

Are you hungry? Just pop something in the microwave or go to the drive-thru at a local fast food chain. (Not recommending that nutritional strategy!) Does your oil need changing in your car? Just zip into the nearest fast lube.

Need information on a specific topic? Just google the topic on your phone or tablet and information pops right up. We live in a world where many of our needs are readily available at the moment they're desired. Now wouldn't it be nice if we could just decide we would like to run a fast race and then just go out and do it, even with no training? Well, running and physical fitness just don't work that way. Fitness is not at our fingertips upon command.

For all runners it's important to internalize the concept of delayed gratification. Great running fitness will only be developed after months and even years of goal directed, motivated behavior. Running fits the concept of delayed gratification to a “T”. We must look way down the road (no pun intended) toward a long-term goal that at some points in time may seem out of reach. We pay a small price each day so we can reach a goal or vision that may be months or years away. It's just the nature of being runners.

Physiological fitness takes time to develop, a lot of time. As much as we would like for it to occur, running fitness just can't be achieved in just a few days or weeks.

We might be able to look up race results online right now, but the fitness that leads to the results takes months and years to develop. No matter what we do, the human body will adapt slowly to the stress of training that is placed upon it. If we get too impatient and try to force our way into condition too quickly, by running too many miles at too great an intensity, we risk overloading the body with too much training stress, with the possible result being overtraining, chronic fatigue and poor performance. Yes, we must delay our gratification that comes with a great performance and be patient.

Patience may be one of the most overlooked aspects of training. Solid training programs simply take time to come to fruition and sometimes we can get a tad bit impatient to get the results we want. One of the best ways to stick to a long-term training program is to set up a goalsetting program. The goal may be a marathon in 10 months or next year, or for Olympic caliber athletes it may be the trials up to four years away, in some cases. In either case, both could be considered the long-term goals. Longterm goals may only be attainable months, or even years in the future, especially if we have been away from regular training for a while.

It may be difficult to delay gratification and sustain motivation when a goal is so far off in the future. Any good goal setting program must also contain short term goals that, when achieved, will help us reach our longterm goal. Short-term goals can be written for each week of training, some target races or even for daily training.

Maybe set a realistic time goal for a race that is leading up to your long-term objective could be a short-term goal.

Set some goals for training mileage in the months ahead.

Each time short-term goals are achieved, confidence is

enhanced, motivation is enhanced and the long-term goal becomes closer to being achieved. Think of goal setting being like a stairway; each step up is like reaching a shortterm goal and each step up brings us closer to the top and our long-term goal. Be sure the goals are challenging, but at the same time all goals should be realistically achievable.

Another way we can improve our gratification delay quotient in to work on focusing more on the process and a little less on the product. The product is the long-term race goal, while the process is how to get there! If we focus too much and too far ahead on just the product, we might just lose sight of the process that can help get us to the product! It's just like baking a cake. Follow the recipe and the cake turns out great, but taking short cuts with the recipe may mean a flat, lopsided, bad tasting cake. Try to take shortcuts in training and the goal race might not turn out as well as it could.

In reality a solid training plan is the process. Welldesigned training plans might mean not running well early in the program, but running well in the events deemed most important in the future. Well-designed training plans are a must if we are to running up to our potential. But just by having a great training plan doesn't necessarily mean great race performances. We must be patient and stick with the plan. Step by step, day-by-day we train and prepare for our target race. Little by little our fitness improves and in the end, if everything works out, we're at our best when we really want to be. In other words, we have delayed immediate gratification for that great feeling that comes with a new running personal best in an event or a new running accomplishment, like finishing a marathon.

No, running is not like many things in modern society.

We can't have success right now upon command. But running can teach some very valuable lessons. Running is a great teacher of what it means to be dedicated over time, persisting through difficult times, being patient and work towards goals that may only come to fruition months and years in the future. These are all valuable lessons to learn, not only for running, but also for life in general. So set a long-term running goal, work toward it each day and be patient. The delayed gratification of reaching your running goal will be well worth the wait.

Ben Jones - Ben, a three-time finisher of the Badwater Ultramarathon, was inducted into the Badwater Hall of Fame in 2010. “The Mayor of Badwater” (as Ben is known) and his wife Denise (the “First Lady,” who was also inducted) were recognized for their years of service on the race course as athletes, camp hosts, volunteers, crew members and race ambassadors.

Denise has crewed for Ben three times at Badwater and has this to say about him: “He is delightful to crew, one of the bestnatured people on the planet, never complains and is always kind, and crewing was always fun.”

Norm Klein - Norm and his wife Helen served as co-Race Directors for 100 races of marathon distance or longer, including the prestigious Western States Endurance Run for 14 years (1986 - 1999) and the Helen Klein ultra events for 16 years (1995-2010). Norm, an athlete himself, completed over 40 marathons, 40 ultramarathons, an Ironman (Hawaii), and a 125mile staged race in the Himalayas. In May of 2016 Norm and Helen will celebrate their 49-year wedding anniversary.

Susan Paraska - Susan ran her first race (a 5K) on July 4, 1986 in Montgomery, Alabama. While living in Colorado in the 1990's she began running 10K's. After moving to Atlanta, Georgia, she discovered a robust and rich running community offering year-round running at every distance. She completed her first ultra in 2008 (Peachtree City 50K) and her first 100-mile run four years later at the Bartram 100 in Milledgeville, Georgia.

Susan is an active member of the Galloway Program and the Darkside Running Club. She is a retired military officer and a certified project manager currently living in Marietta, Georgia.

Chris Roman - Chris is 45 years young and is a doctor, husband, father, philanthropist and ultra runner (although not necessarily in that order). In 2004 he decided to get his health back and began training for a marathon that he would eventually complete in slightly less than four hours. Four years later he ran his first 100-mile race in Leadville, Colorado.

Running Journal • October, 2015 Since then he has completed some of the more challenging races on the planet including Badwater (twice) and the Brazil 135 (four times). Chris also holds the American Course record on both the 135mile and 175-mile courses of the Brazil 135. At this time he is the only person to have run the length of the Erie Canal (344 miles in a little over six days) and one of three people to successfully run Brazil's 'Camniho da Fe' (Path of Faith), which he did in just over seven days (while completing the Brazil 135 along the way). Since 2008 Chris has finished 25 races of 100 miles or more. The best part, he says is he has fun every step and now has two distinct families that care for him as much as he cares for them.

Erin Roman - Forever student, teacher, designer, mother, seeker; Erin's passions run deep. As a committed student and teacher of yoga, Erin has been a dedicated practitioner for over 10 years. Mother of two active daughters and wife to her very active husband, her family is her greatest joy and comfort. When she's not running carpool or keeping up with Chris' race schedule, she enjoys cooking vegetarian meals for her family, writing blogs, making jewelry and chasing after their three rescue dogs. In 2014 she expanded her creative reach and opened Carma Blue, her small business 'love child.' A full plate of family, friends, lesson learning and big belly laughs, her life is perfectly imperfect, and she wouldn't have it any other way.

Erik Schaffer - Erik, a fully certified prosthetist, opened the doors to his own facility, A Step Ahead Prosthetics in Hicksville, New York in 2001. His philosophy of exacting craftsmanship, innovation, and providing a wide variety of prosthetic services under one roof has successfully extended to his business, creating a full ecosystem of support for patients. Erik is considered to be one of the foremost authorities on prosthetic technology and A Step Ahead is known as the destination for amputees looking for the ultimate in prosthetic care. Erik and his staff were responsible for providing prosthetic care to survivors of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.

Craig Snapp - Craig celebrated his 39th year as a runner in 2015 and during that time has never “pushed himself to the limits of human endurance,” although in recent times he's getting closer to his own limits. While not claiming to be an ultra runner (with only seven runs longer than marathon distance, the longest being 50 miles), he does have a total of 144 marathons and/or ultramarathons to his credit. One of his memorable moments in

running was as a spectator: Watching a young Jim Ryun obliterate the high school mile record in 1965 (Ryun ran 3:55.3) which would not be bettered for another 36 years. Having run every day since April 1, 1998, Craig has managed to accumulate well over 100,000 miles in his running career.

Jon Sutherland - Jon is the current record holder for the longest running streak in America as certified by the USRSA, over forty-five years and counting. Jon said “There is no way I would have ever considered a running streak without my teammate Mark Covert telling me he had run every day for a year. I made a year without missing a day and was fascinated by the journey it took to be a good runner.” Jon is an accomplished rock journalist and writer who has been published in over sixty magazines worldwide and has written five books but his passion has always been running. Jon competed at an international level and raced in many US national championships. Currently, Jon is the cross-country coach at Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, California and enjoys running on the trails behind his house with his dogs Puck and Pixie.

Heather Ulrich - Heather Ulrich was lucky to be born to Rory and Janis Vose and to grow up in Winona, MN with her two sisters, Laura and Tahra. A bit of a tomboy, she went canoeing, camping, hunting, and fishing with her dad, enjoyed horseback riding and Girl Scouts, fell in love with the mountains when working in Yellowstone National Park and moved permanently to Colorado in the spring of 1990. She met Marshall at the Leadville Trail 100 in 2001 and happily married him April 1, 2003. (They chose that date because they joked “People will think we're fools to be getting married.”) While not a runner herself, she enjoys traveling and adventures with Marshall all around the world.

Andy Velazco - Andy started running over 30 years ago while serving in the Army during a hiatus between college and medical school. He has completed over 300 marathons and 70 ultramarathons and after exhaustive research concluded that the best racing distance for him is 50 miles. Andy attributes his best runs to the camaraderie he shares while running with his friends and family. He takes pride in knowing he introduced his wife and children to running. His wife Kathy has completed 100 marathons, including one in each of the 50 states, and four of his children have two or more marathons under their belts. Andy has run every Disney World Marathon and has his sights set on being in Orlando for its 25th anniversary

21

in 2018. He has every intention of keeping his passion for running alive in the years ahead.

Marsha White - Marsha ran her first race, a half marathon, at the age of 59 and loved it. Since then she has completed over 200 marathons and/or ultramarathons in all 50 states, four Canadian provinces and 10 countries. Now in her late 60's, she frequently places in her age group. Marsha has contributed articles about racing to several books and magazines, including a number of marathon reviews for Marathon & Beyond. When she's not traveling to races or writing about them, Marsha enjoys baking, sewing, reading and quilting.

Amy Yanni - Amy, a self-proclaimed tomboy, has been running all of her life; from softball and tennis to her first race, a five-miler in Northampton, Massachusetts just before the turn of the century. In 2003, after being diagnosed with breast cancer, she started running marathons. Since that time Amy has finished more than 140 marathons, including eight at Boston. She admits she runs a lot simply because she loves to run. Amongst her many credentials are sub four-hour marathons in all 50 states after the age of 50 and running a brisk 1:36:03 half marathon at the age of 60 where she edged out Karin Miles, who competed in the Olympic Trials with Joanie Benoit.

Vikena Yutz - Vikena has been running since 2007 and it didn't take her long to fall in love with long-distance running.

She ran her first ultramarathon in 2008 and has been hooked ever since. Her favorite ultra are the timed events where she has fared quite well over the years: 110 miles in 24 hours at Hinson Lake in Rockingham, North Carolina; and 254 miles in 72 hours and 367 miles in six days, both at Across the Years in Glendale, Arizona. In her short tenure in the sport she has set several course records and hopes to set a few more in the years ahead.

Impressed? Me too.

I hope you're as eager for the publication of the book as I am. Believe me: It is fascinating.

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.

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.”

New Shoe Sizes: Men 7–12,13,14,15; Women 5–11,12 Weight: Men 11.3 oz. (size 11); Women 9.2 oz. (size 8) Shape: semicurved Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, EVA Strobel board Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to mild overpronation

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.

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.

Long-Ago Cancer ‘Hero’ & Dave McGillivray To Meet 35 Years Later BOSTON — The last time Dave McGillivray saw Tara Orlowski was the early 1980s when she was undergoing chemotherapy at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and he was completing feats of endurance to raise money for cancer research through the Jimmy Fund.

Orlowski and Brendan Newman, both young children with cancer, had been assigned as McGillivray’s “heroes.” The children were featured in photos and press coverage and served as McGillivray’s inspiration for his 1,520-mile run from Winter Haven, Fla., to Boston in 1980 and his 1,522-mile triathlon through six New England states in 1981.

Although McGillivray never forgot the two children – he has mentioned them in each of his nearly 1,900 speaking appearances since – he also lost touch with them, until recently.

McGillivray, 61, race director of the Boston Marathon and other iconic road races, said one day last year he decided to see what he could find out about them and typed each name into a Facebook search.

“Guess what, I found them both!” McGillivray said. “It’s so amazing and so difficult to believe. So I reached out to both and they wrote back – and they are both healthy adults. Since then, I have been telling my audiences this story and then state that the good work we all do to help those in need can actually work and in their case, it did.”

That’s what makes McGillivray’s next speaking engagement so special.

On Sept. 21 at Boston Park Plaza, he will see Orlowski for first time in almost 35 years when she introduces him as keynote speaker at the annual conference for the National Association for Regulatory Administration (NARA).

“I have not seen her since she was about 10-years-old and going through cancer treatment,” McGillivray said. “It’s so great that both of these kids beat cancer and are thriving, and that after all these years I’ll get a chance to meet Tara again. I can’t wait.”

Now friends with them on Facebook, McGillivray discovered that both have dedicated their adult lives to helping children.

Newman graduated college and is now a highly-respected preschool teacher living in his native Rhode Island.

Orlowski, a Virginia native now living in Florida, was recently recognized as one of the nation’s promising leaders in child care by Child Care Exchange Magazine. She has more than 20 years of experience in regulatory services, early childhood education and higher education.

Orlowski joined the NARA Board of Directors in 2013 and this past summer was named President of the non-profit association dedicated to providing the highest quality of comprehensive, evidence-based professional development

services within the area of adult care, child care and child welfare.

When McGillivray months ago agreed to be the opening keynote speaker at the 2015 NARA Licensing Seminar in Boston, he knew that Orlowski served on the organization’s board and would likely be in attendance in Boston on Sept. 21.

But McGillivray didn’t know until recently that Orlowski had been named NARA President, meaning she is tasked with introducing the keynote speaker, who just so happens to be him.

Orlowski said she cannot wait to meet McGillivray again after so many years.

“Being part of the New England Run for the Jimmy Fund helped me and my family face a very challenging time in our lives,” Orlowski said. “My mom and I were instantly embraced by Dave and the DMSE family. Dave’s warm and giving personality has influenced my life and inspired my enthusiasm for volunteering. As soon as I heard NARA was going to Boston, I immediately thought about Dave. Now as president of the association, I am honored to introduce him as our opening keynote speaker.”

McGillivray is equally inspired by Orlowski’s journey and the opportunity to see her again.

“When I think about that little girl and what she went through and where she is now, it’s going to be an emotional moment, to say the least,” he said.

“This truly is a story with a happy ending.”

McGillivray, president of DMSE Sports, first gained national prominence with his 1978 cross country run - from Medford, Oregon to Medford, Mass. that took 80 days and raised almost $150,000 for the Jimmy Fund – the first money any runner ever raised for a cancer charity, according to Runner’s World. He has completed a number of similar feats of endurance since his groundbreaking cross country trek, including a second cross-country run in 2004 from San Francisco to Boston as part of TREK USA, a relay team event that raised more than $300,000 for five children’s charities.

Over his career, McGillivray has logged more than 150,000 miles, completed nine Hawaii Ironman Triathlons and has finished 129 marathons – including 43 consecutive Boston Marathons.

McGillivray, who lives in North Andover, Mass., is a pioneer in what is now one of the most important aspects of the endurance sports industry – combining athletics with philanthropy. Nearly every DMSE Sports event combines fitness and fundraising, giving back to the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Children’s Hospital, Lazarus House and many others charities and non-profit organizations in New England and across the country. He along

with all the events he has directed have helped raised more than $100 million for charity over the years.

DMSE Sports is a leader in sports event management, specializing in creating, marketing and producing mass participatory athletic events throughout the U.S. and abroad. In addition to the B.A.A. Boston Marathon, DMSE manages more than 25 major road races per year, including the TD Beach to Beacon in Maine, the New Balance Falmouth Road Race on Cape Cod, the Finish at the 50 at Patriot Place, Run for the Dream in Williamsburg, Va., the Bellin Run in Green Bay, Wis., the Feaster Five Thanksgiving Day Road Race and the Across the Bay 10K in Annapolis, Maryland, among others.
