He Said, She Said Age is Just a Number - Miles Are Just a Thing The early part of this year, when a chill in the Florida air encouraged me to take my miles inside, I found my rhythm atop a revolving belt on a machine at the end of a long line of treadmills at the YMCA. With seven or so miles successfully run, I tapped the red illuminated 'stop' button and began a series of post-run stretches before bounding toward the mats for ab work. The stretches not quite complete, I heard a gentleman's voice that rose barely above the musical beats pulsating from my earbuds.

“That looked like a great run,” he said.

“Are you a marathoner?”

He looked to be in his sixties - a full head of beautiful white hair, and a neatly manicured white beard and mustache to match. His physique was long and lean, and he sat performing a set of bicep curls as he spoke. His legs were a dead giveaway to his runner status, even if his Jeff Galloway Marathon Training shirt hadn't been.

“No, I'm not a marathoner…yet,” I replied. “This is my year, though.” I smiled.

“You are obviously a marathoner though. What is your name?” I asked.

As I soon found out, his name is “Fritz” Elmhorst, and despite his sixty-something appearance, he is 78. It was not until Elmhorst was 69 years old that he began running. He had never been an athlete, but after watching his daughter in-law running almost 10 years ago, he decided he would give it a try. Eight months later, Elmhorst ran his first 5k.

“It's very nice to meet you,” I said, extending my hand for a shake. “My name is Mary Marcia Brown,” I said.

His eyes widened with a bit of bewildered recognition before he asked, “Mary Marcia Brown? From Running Journal? I read you every month!” he said.

I was excited and flattered to hear that.

Those words also opened the door to a delightful conversation about running before Fritz finished his workout with perfectly executed pushups.

Among his many running accomplishments in his seventies are a successful marathon followed by a half marathon the very next day, a 5:47 marathon at the Athens, Greece 2500th Anniversary Marathon on the original route in 2010, a 27:07 5k, and a 58-minute 10k.

“I'm considering the Tick Tock Ultra this year,” Elmhorst told me during that initial meeting.

He was contemplating approaching the 12-hour ultra marathon with the same

By Mary Marcia Brown

approach used in the Galloway training method - alternating running and walking segments. Months later, I saw his name appear on the list of registered individual runners. I was so very pleased that he had definitively decided to give the ultra marathon distance a try.

The week before Florida's 12-Hour Tick Tock Ultra in Lakeland, I saw Fritz at a local 5k. Each of us enjoyed a great race Fritz winning first in his age group and running the fastest 5k he had run in almost five years, and I winning the Overall Female Masters division. Prior to that day's run, I had experienced a myriad of mixed emotions about moving into the Masters age group. That morning, the 'sweet' washed away the 'bitter' of the bittersweet emotions that sometimes accompany aging. The age-related emotions became even sweeter witnessing Fritz's countless accomplishments the next weekend.

At packet pick-up, Fritz told me that he was going to “run a little, and shuffle a little” until he completed the ten 2.84-mile laps required to earn the official Tick Tock Ultra medal. He said that if he thought he could, he would do a little more.

The next day, Fritz stopped by the official lap-counting tent at lap nine, and told me that he was going to complete lap 10, and then try one more. He said that he wanted to put not only the 'ULTRA MARATHONER' RunnerSticker he received in his goodie bag on his car, but he also wanted to earn the right to purchase and display a 50K RunnerSticker, too. He looked strong and determined.

“Go get it, Fritz!” I said.

He completed lap 10, and followed it up with a successful 11th lap. His wife met and congratulated him at the start/finish area as he completed 31.24 miles.

“Can I do another one?” he asked his wife.

I smiled at his determined spirit, the one that was eager to find out just how much he could do. Fritz ran another lap and buttoned up his first ultra marathon with a lit-

tle more than 34 miles.

“My biggest surprise was that I could do it in spite of high temperature and humidity and long hours of running. The secret was pacing, hydration, electrolyte replacement, nutrition and monitoring my blood pressure which tends to drop in hot weather running,” Elmhorst shared, saying that he really enjoyed the camaraderie, the challenge, the aid stations, and “all the great support” at the Tick Tock.

In addition to racking up impressive mileage in exceptional times, Elmhorst also cross trains by incorporating yoga, strength training, and stair climb races like the Chicago Sears Tower 103-floor climb that he completed in 28 minutes.

As he looks toward 2016, Elmhorst wants to get fitter and faster, run the Celebration Marathon, and run the 12Hour Tick Tock Ultra Marathon for a second time.

As we all move through and into different age groups (whether it is the 20s, 30s, Masters, Grand Masters, or Senior Grand Masters division), it is well worth the pause to take the time to listen to 78-year old runner, Fritz Elmhorst's advice, which he was happy to credit to C. S. Lewis.

“You are never too old to set another goal, or to dream a new dream,” he said.

Distance Memories Taking a Mulligan When a golfer isn't satisfied with a shot they take another, commonly known as a mulligan; a chance to do it again for a better result. That is to say potentially for a better result.

I played golf for more than 40 years and I can honestly say I've taken my fair share of mulligans. As a runner for almost that same amount of time I've never had the luxury of a mulligan. What's done is done.

But what if I could have done things differently…what might I consider changing that may have provided a better result?

I've always had second thoughts about starting a consecutive-days running streak back in November of 1978.

Running every day was SOP in my 20's, 30's, 40's and even for most of my 50's but now that I've hit the big six-oh, more and more of my early morning runs are becoming a challenge. In my defense I never planned on my running evolving into a streak; it just happened. Promise.

I might have sacrificed some of my mileage and done a little more speed work.

When I was in my prime I was satisfied with running 5K's between 17 and 18 minutes and 10K's between 36 and 37 minutes. My peers admonished me on a regular basis for not doing enough speed work and were forever challenging me to break into the 16-minute and 35-minute ranges, respectively for those two distances. But as I didn't have a particular fondness for running intervals, fartleks or hills and was perfectly content with my race times, speed work and I - for all intents and purposes - were pretty much strangers. In spite of that I'm proud of the fact that I qualified for the Boston Marathon when a 2:50 or better was required for entry. If there's one thing that trumps speed work it's youth, and at one time the latter was on my side.

I may have altered my plan of attack for the Badwater Ultramarathon in 2003.

Over the course of 135 extremely hot and extremely hilly miles I became overly reliant on 'the chair,' using one to sit for a spell many more times than was physically necessary. The brief stints in the chair satisfied a psychological and emotional need, but in no way did it satisfy a physiological or biological one. The chair was basically a crutch, and I know in my heart I could have lowered my finishing time by several hours without it. It may have also helped to know Badwater was not only a very, very hot course but a very, very hilly

By Scott Ludwig

course as well; that way I could have more properly prepared for the three mountain ranges I had to negotiate as I ran through Death Valley.

I may have also avoided running on trails, a path I deemed necessary to get me to Squaw Valley for a race I had absolutely no business trying in the first place, the Western States Endurance Run. Twice, as a matter of fact. I'm fairly certain the assorted and sundry injuries I've been dealing with for most of the last decade are a direct result of the punishment I subjected my body to running 162 miles (I DNF'ed the first time in 2004 and finished dead last in 2006) up and down the Sierra Nevada's for somewhere in the neighborhood of a composite 46 hours. Beyond that there were too many falls to count during my training on similar trails in preparation for my two starts at Western States. These days you won't find me running on any trails because I've been placed on Double Secret Probation by the Running Police, the Coalition of Park Rangers and the Environmental Protection Agency (something about me washing blood off after a fall on the trails in some stream at one time); long overdue if you ask me.

Other running mulligans that have crossed my mind (in no particular order): Running fewer miles in a pair of running shoes before removing them from 'active duty' (this may have reduced the wear and tear on my body over the years).

Volunteering more often earlier in my running career (I did more than my fair share of racing and far, far less than my fair share of volunteering).

Competing in more races of my favorite event, the 24-hour run (however, in my defense during my prime 24-hour runs were few and far between).

Lived more, laughed often and loved always (isn't this on everyone's list?).

Recently a good friend of mine, Gary Griffin sent me a note as he was getting ready to run 100 miles - maybe a little bit more - for what he says will be the last time. I met Gary at the Callaway Gardens Marathon in 2002 and a little over a year later he was part of my crew at Badwater.

We've been friends ever since, have run countless miles together and have supported one another as fellow runners, fellow race directors and brothers-in arm.

In his note Gary wrote that while he was mowing his lawn he asked himself it he was to do it all over again what would he do differently. Here's what he had to say: “My sincere heartfelt response and deep desire that it would have been so: I would have met Scott Ludwig 20 years earlier.

“You changed my life in so many ways, Scott. You took me from being an average marathoner and fairly decent ultrarunner (who had formerly been a decent marathoner but had lost the speed that required) to showing me that I could go beyond 50 miles and live to tell about it.

You let me witness your toughness and in a strange sort of way, some of that became part of me. You gave me confidence that I could be more than I thought that I could out there … so many things that you led me to that I would never have done without you. So, this begs the question: What if I had met Scott Ludwig in 1982 instead of 2002? Would I be crippled for life and

living in a wheelchair? Maybe. Would I have done far more 100's and completed the Grand Slam and been down there in the 17-hour range for 100 miles? Maybe.

But, I am just glad that our paths crossed the way that they did some 15 years ago now for what happened after that.”

I replied: “Gee, Gary-that might be the most flattering thing I've ever had said to me. That means a lot, particularly since I've really tried to give back to the sport over the years and even more so because it came from you. Don't be surprised if parts of it end up on my headstone one day.

“If we had met in 1982 there's no telling what you and I would have accomplished in running--particularly if we lived in the same area and had the chance to run together a lot.

“No telling ... but I'm certain one of us (probably both) would be, as you said, in a wheelchair.”

Gary's note made me think back to the original question I asked myself -- What might I consider changing that may have provided a better result? - and the answer became perfectly clear.

Not one single thing.

Down the Road Three Lessons Learned Watching the World Championship Did you watch the IAAF World Championship Track and Field meet held in Beijing this August? If you didn't you should have. There was a lot to see, and perhaps a lot to learn from watching the different events.

But of course unless you sprang for the extra cost 'sports package' or whatever they call it on your cable or satellite service or watched the events online, you only saw a brief summary of the events on network television each weekend.

Okay, I confess, Kathy and I sprang for the extra cost package and we were pleased to find that they showed all (or maybe almost all of the running events and the heats leading up to them, but we had a recording problem one night so I can't say for sure.) Since many of the races were shown live from China - it was late at night here in the states, so without a recorder, most people would never see them live. They sometimes repeated the coverage the next day.

First lesson, rest and recovery matter. The more we saw of the Championship meet, the more you realize that having to run heats makes a difference. Some people hold up better than others. What if you had to run a race in the morning to qualify to run a race later that day? Do you think it would make a

By Cedric Jaggers

difference in your second race? I know it did for Kathy and me. I'll tell you that running the Reedy River Run 10K one morning, then stopping by Walterboro on the way home to run the 5 mile Rice Run led to disappointment with our times in the second race. How well and how quickly you recover from a race matters, in road races and in track races.

Second lesson, the race isn't over until you have crossed the finish line. Want to celebrate your win? Wait until you finish the race. You need only watch a replay (or see it live as we did on television) of the Women's 10K to understand the importance of this lesson. The USA's Molly Huddle made the bold decision to lead most of the way in this

10,000 meter race. She really wasn't expected to be a contender, but there she was.

In the final lap a couple of the usual suspects from Kenya and Ethiopia kicked past her. Molly apparently felt as she went down the final stretch that she was set for the Bronze medal, so in the final 5 or so yards she checked on her right to make sure no one was close and she raised her arms and slowed down to enjoy and celebrate her accomplishment. Unfortunately for her, another American, unheralded Emily Infield, who had barely qualified to represent the USA, had hugged the inside of the track and turned on a blistering kick. Emily passed Molly for the Bronze medal in 31:43.49 to 31:43.58.

The look of astonished horror on Molly's face was almost heartbreaking, as was the interview with her which the on track commentators conducted. The joy, surprise and excitement Emily had was infectious. She remarked that before the race, the American expected to medal, Shalane Flanagan (who had a disappointing race and finished 6th) had talked to her and counseled her to never slow down until after she crossed the finish line. It turned out to be tremendous advice.

In road races using actual gun time, this is also critical advice - you should always work

to pass everyone you can see ahead of you and not slow down until you've crossed that line. Of course in chip timed race someone who starts and finishes from 1 second to an hour behind you may be declared the winner based on computer re-arranged time, but the concept still holds true.

Third lesson, sometimes you may be better off not running your own race. If you recall, in the previous World Championship men's 10K Galen Rupp of the USA ran almost stride for stride with Mo Farah and got outkicked for the win, but came home with the silver medal. Then in the 5K he ran his own race and didn't place in that race. This year, Rupp appeared to have run his own race in both the 10K and 5K and ended finishing fifth in each. Would he have done better to run someone else's race? I would argue that he would have, but you may have to decide for yourself. Most runners seem to run better when they have someone to work with, but maybe we are all too individualistic and think we would be better off running our own race rather than going with someone we know to be better than we are. You will have to decide if this lesson is for you.

Okay there they are - some lessons from the World Championship for runners. Think about them. I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences.

Women’s Running A Man For All Seasons - My Steve I am utilizing my column this month to honor my dearly departed Steve. Steve was a giant of a man and, as over the years I have told many, a teddy bear or a grizzly bear. I have seen both bears but obviously the teddy bear was all mine. When I first met Steve he smoked three packs of cigarettes a day and weighed about 235 pounds. But it was love at first sight. We spent the first several hours after we met being soulmates but it took us a year to get down to being best friends and eventually husband and wife. Steve was indeed a man for all seasons, an engineer, a manager of GE plants, a runner, a Texas Hold Em wizard, a video game addict, a volunteer, a friend to all sorts of runners, an avid college football and basketball fan, a guy very much like my beloved Daddy and the absolute love of my life. When we first met we had both previously been married to another for 17 years. We agreed that marriage was a license to abuse, but within six months we were wed -- as nervous as teenagers, sweaty hands and all! And he managed to be the seventh brother in my ex-husbands family of six boys.

General Electric took us out of the south to the frigid northeast, but we only remained for a few years before Steve retired after 25 years with GE, and we sailed out of Boston harbor on our 42 foot Tayana on his 47th birthday.

We were blessed to spend the next 25 years committed to running and traveling all over the world. We even lived on our boat for five years.

Steve started riding a bicycle to keep up with me, and I fondly remember the day when he had to walk his bike up a hill while runners streamed by him. It was only a few months later that he quit smoking. Living with him the next month was torture for everyone, but he never went back. That was

By Carolyn Mather, RN, PhD.

the kind of guy my husband was. When he made a commitment he kept it no matter what.

While we lived in Boston before sailing away, he became fascinated with runners and we volunteered with John Hancock for a number of years making friends with runners from all over the globe. He was intrigued with their hard work ethic but their gentleness even in competing for large amounts of prize money. He became friends with so many runners, and at age 50 I caught him sneak running from our boat docked in Florida. He had decided to get in shape for skiing and in less than a week had injured himself. He respected my success in running and decided I could help him.

His first 5K was several months later at the Atlanta International 5K put on by Phidippides and won by Donna Combs (Garcia) and Arega Abraha. His goal was to not walk, not be last, and finish under 30 minutes. Mission was accomplished and he won a case of motor oil! At Peachtree that summer he had not even crossed the start line when our dear friend Uta Pippig won the race. Six months later he decided to become a marathon runner. I laughed and told him

Steve celebrating his 71st birthday at the couples’ home in Morganton, GA

that he really did not have the body for it or the background. He then told me what every woman wants to hear. He would do whatever I asked the next six months if I would agree to coach him to run a marathon. Of course he made it much harder when he decided he wanted to break four hours. Despite hot and humid conditions he completed Grandmas Marathon in 3:57!!

Despite his late start, he ran a 21 minute 5K, a 42 minute 10K, a 1:44 half and seven marathons under four hours with his fastest being run in Venice, Italy in 3:37. When my Steve committed himself to a goal, it got done.

But the legacy he left this world was his love and devotion to me. Many of you can recall him on a bicycle at my side in many races. His racing career was less than 10 years as he developed arthritis in his lower back, but he continued to support me with his entire heart and soul. Often this past summer, I would hear him telling the nurses or doctors what a phenomenal runner his wife was, and how much devotion she had to coaching and sharing her knowledge and giving back to the sport. You would have thought I was an Olympian the way he talked about me.

Yet I am a rookie compared to my gentle bearded hippie guy who developed the aid station protocol for not only the 1996 marathon trials, but for the Olympic marathons in Atlanta and we continued to do this for several Olympic cycles at the trials.

His engineering degrees aided him in developing a flawless system which is utilized to this day. He was truly loved by so many runners. His "adopted" daughter is the four time Olympian Colleen DeReuck. When she had trouble with the South African federation, he was at her side getting the job done so she could compete. His joy at her win at the 2004 trials as an American was a sight to behold!

And he was right there for me when my Ryan Shay died at the 2008 Olympic Trials. He applauded the special friendship that Ryan and I had for way too short a time.

In fact the last person he talked with on the phone before slipping into unconsciousness was three time Boston winner and Olympian

Uta Pippig. She called and chatted with him for quite a bit. He was thrilled. He had once beaten her in a 100-meter challenge in Berlin.

He had calculated how long it would take her to catch him and then he set the distance.

Steve talked finances with many professional runners encouraging them to invest while the going was good. He would sit and discuss most any subject with anyone. He was not one to dispense advice but would gladly provide his insights and help when asked. Many people have remembered Steve for his intelligence and his willingness to share. Steve could be the life of the party but he was always observing and watching. He had very correct insights into most people and could read people and their motivations well. He volunteered all over the country and became close friends with all types of runners.

Steve and I shared everything in our 30 years together. I sometimes think we knew each other better than we knew ourselves.

The last six months of his life were truly hell on earth. Yet he never gave up and planned all of our trips that we usually take each fall. One of his final acts was extracting a promise from me to go to all those events and enjoy our running friends. He never asked “why me?” despite all the mistakes the medical community made. He worried more about me more than himself. I believe the pain we shared these last six months just made our love stronger.

I found a booklet from the Baltimore Running Festival a few weeks before Steve died. In it, starting the first day of this year he told me how much he loved me and then detailed all of our finances and other stuff.

He spent several months putting that together for me just in case. I never saw him doing it, but he wanted me to go on and be happy and know he had provided for me. The last full year of his life he followed me around the country as I did a marathon a month to celebrate turning 65. We had such fun on the adventures and put many miles on our Prius

Inspired Daily The Comeback: The Finish Line or Final Chapter I wasn't sure which title to choose for this article, the finish line or the final chapter as we all know there is no finish line in the big picture of running but this By is definitely the final chapter on my Rae Ann injury.

Darling Reed This is my final installment in the series of articles this year relating to my hamstring injury. For a quick recap, they were titled Invincible? The Injury: Part I (May), Acceptance. The Injury: Part II (August), and Leap of Faith. The Injury: Part III (October). You can see the process I went

out about half way through one day and struggled through several others. A few weeks out from my Last Chance BQ.2 Marathon I began to doubt if I could do this. Lucky for me the Hansons Marathon Method is all about cumulative fatigue so missing a few key runs did not hurt me at all. If anything, they tested my confidence in myself and the training plan and I can happily report that I have now regained 100% confidence in both.

My “Last Chance� marathon could not have gone better. From the perfect weather to the superbly organized race, literally everything went well. I needed a 3:45 to qualify for Boston but had three goals 3:38 which would let me register the first week, 3:36 if I was feeling good, and 3:34 if I was feeling great. I stuck to my race plan almost exactly through 20 miles. I was smiling in almost all of my race photos. I do not recall a marathon going so well or feeling as amazing as this one. I raced my last 6.2 miles rather than just surviving them. What a feeling! I crossed the finish line of my comeback race in 3:31:02 and four days later registered for Boston 2016.

through just by the titles. Anyone who has been sidelined from running knows these steps well. While no one wishes to be injured, I definitely see 2015 as a major turning point for me. I learned so much about my body, my training, nutrition, gratitude, and patience. This will forever change the way I train and how I no longer take anything for granted, particularly the ability to run.

At the 2015 Boston Marathon expo I took a photo of a shirt with this slogan on it: A set back is a set up for a comeback.

This became my new motto. My longest run was only two miles at that point. I still hadn't been released from physical therapy.

Enter the huge leap of faith. Two days after we returned home from our Boston trip I registered for the Last Chance BQ.2 Chicagoland Marathon. In high school, my parents coached me in cross country Rae Ann Darling Reed is the RunnerGirl and track and they always talked about the a Masters runner and USATF Level2 & three Ds: determination, dedication, and RRCA certified running coach in the desire. I embraced these ideals and the Brooks Inspire Daily program. Follow idea of a comeback as I endured months her on twitter: @runnergirl of marathon training during the incredibly hot and humid southwest Florida summer.

After reading several articles about how heat and humidity training can provide similar benefits to altitude training, I embraced it (as if I had any other choice!) and used that as one of my competitive advantages to keep motivated when a run did not go as perfectly as planned.

And there were several important training runs that did not go as planned.

Stress, heat, and humidity hit an all-time high for me in August when, in tears, I had to stop a key work- The pure joy of rockin' a Boston Qualifier

The Athlete’s Kitchen

EAT WELL, RUN WELL

2015 Sports Nutrition News from The American College of Sports Medicine Each year, I look forward to attending the Annual Meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). That's where I learn the latest sports nutrition news. This year, more than 6,500 sports medicine professionals and exercise scientists convened in San Diego to present their latest research.

Below are just a few highlights.

• Should you be concerned if your Body Mass Index (BMI; a ratio of height and weight) categorizes you as being overweight? Not if you are muscular. In a survey of athletes from a variety of sports, 35% were classified as overweight and 4% as obese. Body fat measurements, however, indicated only 3.5% were over-weight and 3% were obese. Looking in the mirror can often be more accurate than BMI! • Runners commonly believe the lighter they are, the better they will perform. Thus, many go to great extremes to restrict their food intake. Food records of collegiate cross-country runners (30 males, 19 females) who trained about 60 miles per week suggests 37% of the runners ate at least 10% less than expected and were in energy deficit; 35% ate a low-carb diets (less than 2.5 g carb/lb./day; <6g/kg/day). How much better could they perform if better fueled…?

• If you want to be leaner, take note: Chipping away at fat loss is preferable to crash dieting to lose weight quickly. A case study of a figure competitor who reduced her energy intake by only 500 calories/day showed she was able to maintain her muscle mass while dropping her body fat from 15% to 8.5%. Most athletes lose muscle while dieting...

• Can weight loss programs with self-monitoring devices be as effective as working with a health professional? When 78 obese adults were randomized to a weight loss group, an armband group, or both for 8 weeks, the group that lost the most weight received both personal guidance as well as the armband. If you want professional help with weight management, find your local sports dietitian by using the referral network at www.SCANdpg.org.

• Yoga is a popular form of exercise among runners, but does it contribute to weight loss? A 12-month study with middleage women compared a reduced-calorie diet plus either 40 minutes of aerobic exercise on 5 days a week or 40-minutes aerobic exercise plus three additional yoga sessions per week.

The subjects in the yoga group lost more weight and body fat, plus they improved more in terms of endurance and flexibility. Despite the added time required to do yoga, 95% completed the program (vs. 61% of the group with no yoga).

Downward dogs might lead to weight loss success!

• While nutrition certainly enhances sports performance, so does sleep. A study with athletes who flew from CT to CA to perform exercise tests suggests that flying in one day prior to the event impaired athletic performance. Hence, if you are traveling to an event that crosses time zones, you'd be wise to arrive early and invest in more time pre-event to recover from jetlag. This also gives time to rehydrate and fuel optimally.

• If you are just starting a weight-lifting program, would protein supplements give you a muscle-building advantage?

Doubtful. A study with untrained men who did 4 weeks of resistance training indicates they all had significant improvements in muscle size and strength. No significant differences were noted between those who took the protein supplements and those who had the placebo. Looks like regular meals can

• enjoy better workouts provide adequate protein to effectively build muscles. Instead of buying expensive supplements, enjoy a serving of a proteinrich food at each meal and snack to build muscles, along with a carbohydrate to refuel muscles. Examples: chocolate milk, apple + cheese yogurt + granola, pasta + meatballs.

• Gastrointestinal (GI) distress is a common performancelimiting problem for many runners, likely due to a combination of physiological, mechanical (jostling) and dietary factors. Among 30 ultra-runners who recorded their GI symptoms four times throughout the Western States 100-Mile Run (161 km), 77% reported some type of GI issue. The most common symptoms were nausea (53%), belching (40%), flatulence (30%), and vomiting (30%). Race diet was similar in terms of carbohydrates, calories and fluids for runners with and without nausea. This suggests that factors other than nutrition contribute to GI symptoms. If you experience GI distress while running, keep food data to help detect any food culprits - but also understand that jostling may be the contributing factor.

• A gluten-free diet has become trendy among some runners, even when they do not have celiac disease (and seemingly have no health reasons for avoiding gluten). Is there any performance advantage for athletes who eat a gluten-free diet?

Doubtful. Among 13 competitive male cyclists with no history of celiac disease or irritable bowel syndrome, a (short-term) gluten-free diet did not improve performance, GI symptoms, well-being or intestinal injury. Maybe wheat isn't so bad, after all?

• Does room-temperature water (72° F/22° C), cold water (39° F/4° C), and an ice slurry (30° F/-1° C) offer similar cooling benefits when consumed during exercise in the heat? In a study with fitness exercisers who did three exercycle rides to exhaustion, the subjects worked longer with the slurry as compared to room-temperature water (35 vs. 31 minutes to exhaustion), but the slurry offered no huge advantage over cold water (35 vs. 34 minutes to exhaustion). Cold water is likely good enough for the average exerciser - plus it is easier to consume quickly and is more readily available during exercise.

• lose undesired body fat • feel great!

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

Ultra Running Preparation is the Key It began raining a couple of days before the Hinson Lake 24 hour. I cut out or curtailed a couple of runs. That was OK, after all I was tapering. It rained intermittently during the 24 hours. I changed shoes, socks, and clothing a couple more times than I would have if it had been dry. I took a break during the night that I had not planned to take. That was OK, since I was not going to make 100 miles anyway.

It has rained every day since Hinson Lake. I have skipped several runs. Some of the rain has been torrential. The flooding was widespread and catastrophic in many places. Today, with school canceled, it is after noon and I have not gone for a run. Cooler weather is coming, winter is coming. There will certainly be days that are not conducive to running.

It is easy to create reasons to cut, or shorten runs. Training is so longitudinal that a run here or there is inconsequential ... or perhaps not. After multiple days of reduced mileage, for weather or any other cause, conditioning suffers. When conditioning suffers, performances suffer as well. Goals are not achieved.

What to do? The answer lies in planning and implementing those plans, in being prepared, and in keeping focused on long term goals. Preparation makes a huge difference. As the chance for inclement weather increases so should the items on hand necessary to enhance running.

So what is necessary in the area of preparation? I'll start at the top. A hat or choices of hats are always beneficial.

Waterproof hats, hats for warmth and combinations of the two are important.

Keeping the head warm and dry makes running more enjoyable, and sometimes even possible. Shirts and coats/jackets.

Everyone knows about layers, the worse the weather the more essential multiple layers are. Keeping the skin warm and as dry as possible adds comfort and safety to running.

Pants, leggings, tights and other options in a variety of protections exist in most runners' wardrobes. What is the need?

Warmth, rainproof, some combination?

Many runners often wear something on their legs even when top apparel is minimal. Keeping the legs warm often allows much longer running sessions than when

By Ray Krolewicz

they are exposed and cold or wet.

Conversely, runners can frequently be seen with barer legs and heavily covered tops. This as much as anything is a matter of personal choice and comfort.

Feet are perhaps the most important.

They spend time in water, mud, snow, ice or whatever else happens to be on the ground run along. Many runners leave their favorite shoes in the closet on bad weather days. These are the runs that call for the older shoes, those designated for muddy runs, or getting wet. Few runners like to soil their newest, best or favorite shoes on days when the running is already going to be sub-par. Socks are always a personal preference, though many runners who do not normally wear socks do so to ward off cold and/or wet. Preparing feet for running in adverse conditions can help prevent blisters as well. As with other articles of clothing, there are socks designed for different purposes and having several choices on hand is usually a good idea.

On hand, that may be the key aspect to preparation. Runners who do not want or need excuses to miss runs keep inventory on hand and ready to go in whatever the situation requires. Many runners lose a large portion of available running time to gathering the correct gear when it is not readily available. The trick is to have things set aside, extras if necessary in order to facilitate a speedy egress from the house when it is time to run.

Now, the rain has stopped, I think I'll get a few miles in myself.

Learning from the Young Guns Remembering Cameron Bean A few weeks ago we at ZAP lost one of our own when Cameron Bean, a five-year veteran of our program, was struck and killed by a car while he was out running. The tragic loss of Cameron has reverberated across the running community and is a devastating blow to those who knew him. Reflecting on his life, how he lived it, and hearing his close friends reflect on the way they remember him has been both overwhelming and inspiring. Cameron left an undeniable impact on so many people in his 28 years, and that impact will continue to be felt for a long time. I know this may be as much a cathartic exercise for me as for anyone reading, but I'd like to remember Cameron this month, for both those who met him and those who didn't.

Cameron grew up in Chattanooga, TN, and ran crosscountry and track at Samford University in Birmingham, AL. Despite being the most decorated distance runner in Samford's history, when Cameron first inquired about training at ZAP upon graduation he hadn't met the ZAP qualifying standards. He was told by ZAP head coach Pete Rea, as dozens of athletes over the past 13 years have been, "if you move to town, find a part time job, and show up to practice everyday I'll coach you." Cameron was at practice the next week. In the 13 years Pete has been making that offer, Cameron Bean is the only person to ever take him up on it.

It was that same resolve and purpose that earned him a spot on our roster his first year after graduating and saw him break the club record in the 3,000m steeplechase the year after that. His club record mark left him an agonizing .42 seconds short of qualifying for the Olympic Trials in 2012, but it didn't slow his improvement. In 2013 Cameron ran another personal best and this time he not only qualified for the US Championships, but he made the final and finished the season with the 10th best time in the country.

His senior year at Samford, Cameron was the 88th fastest steeplechaser in the NCAA; three years later he was the 10th fastest steeplechaser in the United States. That kind of improvement is a rare thing in our sport, and if it wasn't for an undiagnosed sports hernia over the last 2 years he probably would have run even faster.

When Cameron arrived in Blowing Rock it was with nothing more than a promise of coaching and an invitation to train with the team. His improvement and still standing club record is a testament to the same drive that brought him to ZAP in the first place. Cameron got the most out of himself as a runner during his 5 years at ZAP, but that was emblematic of his life.

Even during the difficulty of being injured for the better part of 2 years he still burst through the doors in the office every day with the same contagious energy he had when he was running his best. Whether it was showing up at ZAP with a 50 foot sheet of plastic and dish soap for an impromptu afternoon of slip-and-sliding, or sitting down, as he often did, with one of our adult running campers, Cameron was always present and engaged in the moment.

He had a unique ability to make a lasting impression whether you were his best friend or simply an acquaintance.

At the time of his passing Cameron had been gone from the ZAP program and moved back home to Chattanooga for about 6 weeks. Within that time Cameron had started

Since 1984 we’ve

massage therapy school, started working with a swim coach in the hopes of improving his technique to explore the triathlon, and launched a race day running app (On Your Mark). He had also started coaching a few runners and triathletes, including his father, Steve. Cameron had been coaching his father for about a year, and had traveled home in the spring to cheer him on through his first half Ironman.

As one of Cameron's friends put it at Cameron's memorial service, “Cameron was as proud of his dad as his dad was of him.” Cameron always kept us posted on how his dad's training was going, and when Cameron told me his dad was targeting a full Ironman this fall I remember thinking how difficult of a jump that was going to be from the half.

Cameron had been training his dad for the full Ironman this fall, a race that happened to fall the day after Cameron's memorial service. Originally not interested in contesting the race, Steve decided he needed to complete the race “to finish what we started.” 15 hours and 35 minutes after he started the Ironman, Steve did exactly that.

That same determination is what first brought Cameron to Blowing Rock and subsequently saw him become one of our nation's best.

More than the races he won and the times he ran, Cameron will be remembered for his passion and enthusiasm for life, which he generously shared with so many. I will do all that I can to approach my work as a coach with the same purpose and resolve that Cameron showed in his improbable rise to the upper echelon of US distance running. I will try to channel his unwavering enthusiasm for running and life to anchor my perspective on both. And I will do my best to capitalize on every moment, because as Cameron said, “the problem is, you only think you have time.”

For those interested, there is a Cameron Bean Memorial Fund on Fundly.com with the mission of supporting youth running in the Chattanooga area.

ZAP Fitness is a Reebok Sponsored non-profit facility which supports post collegiate distance runners in Blowing Rock, NC. ZAP puts on adult running camps during the summer and is available for retreats all year. The facility has a state of the art weight room, exercise science lab for testing and a 24 bed lodge. Coaches at the facility include 2-time Olympic Trials Qualifier Zika Rea, 2007 USATF National XC Champion Ryan Warrenburg as well as head coach Pete Rea.

Running Through the Bluegrass Boston Memories and Will Go Back My first experience with a marathon was Boston. I was a college freshman in the city, and mostly what I remember is being excited that we had Monday off.

As I write this, the Boston Marathon race organizers just announced runners had to qualify almost 2-and-a-half minutes under their qualifying time to make the cut. So first, congrats to all those who made it and my sympathies to those who didn't. I've been on a marathon hiatus since 2013, but Boston has been on my mind.

In 2004, the race still started at noon and it was a beautiful day that year. Tank tops and flip-flops, getting sunburned standing near the one mile to go marker, cheering for runners and the Red Sox. While I had a good time, I did not walk away thinking, “Wow, I want to do that some day.” I wasn't even a runner. In fact, during my first two years of college exercise wasn't something I really thought about. I walked a lot - I think one weekend we walked 10 miles around the city and I took a ballet class one semester and a pilates class another. I did not attend either with regularity.

I started running in 2006 because I was embarrassed I couldn't get up to the third floor of Strickler Hall without being out of breath. That's where the University of Louisville houses the Department of Communications, and I thought as a girl

By Tracy Green

who was 5'2” and 100-ish pounds, I ought to be in more respectable shape. Cue couch-to-5k and my first 5k a little less than three months later. I stuck with it and ran more 5ks that fall, and decided to sign up for the Triple Crown race series (5k, 10k, 10 mile) and Derby miniMarathon the next spring. Those go well, I make running friends, have a great time.

About a year after I started running, a girl I trained with decided to run her first marathon. I said, what the heck, I'll train with you just for fun. I figured I would keep her company on long runs as much as I could - I was training for another half marathon that fall, anyway. When she qualified for Boston that September, the proverbial light came on.

“I could do that,” I thought. I had been training with her all along, plus she is 14 years my senior. If she could do it, surely I could. I missed the city, I loved the city, and I had read enough issues of Runner's

World to know the Boston Marathon was a big deal.

Remember, this is September and I was training for a half in October. So I added a marathon in December - Memphis. My first marathon, about 19 months after I started a walk/jog program.

I was very proud of myself and my running accomplishments thus far. One day, I remarked to a professor at UofL that I was training for my first marathon and hoping to qualify for Boston.

“You know that's not very easy to do,” Professor Charlie Zimmerman, a longtime runner, said. “Most people don't qualify on the first try."

This is sound advice, of course, and certainly true. However, it's also exactly the opposite of my “go big or go home” life philosophy.

I ran Memphis. I qualified. I never let Professor Zimmerman forget it, either.

(Sorry, Charlie!)

So the Boston Marathon was my second marathon and it humbled the daylights out of me. Memphis had seemed like a fairly easy thing to do and I thought I could train a little harder and run faster at Boston. If you just chuckled, you've probably run Boston before yourself. I trashed my quads, I got sunburned but only down the back of my right side and I could barely walk down the steps to the train the next day.

At my first marathon, Memphis in 2007. Tracy is in the center, with Rebekah Robinson on the left and Heather Levinson on the right. Heather had qualified for Boston in September; we would both run Boston in 2008 then help pace Rebekah to her first BQ the next month at Flying Pig.

At lunch after the race, I cried. My expectations were so high - and I missed my goal. I hurt everywhere, mentally and physically. The marathon had won, as it often does. But I wasn't crying because I had failed - it was because I had all those emotions about failing but had still PR'd by almost a minute.

The next year, I went back. I had learned a lot, and had run Memphis again.

I was much more prepared for my fourth marathon, and quite a bit faster. I felt at peace with the Boston Marathon, like I had evened the score. My second time was about 16 minutes faster than my first - I know, because the finisher certificates still hang on my wall. From then on, I explored other races. I posted BQs at the other five marathons I've run, but opted not to go back.

Until now. I'm ready to go back. I had hoped to qualify in the spring, but ended up dropping out of my marathon even though I probably would have qualified anyway. Now, I've got my eyes set on 2017 and qualifying at Monumental Marathon. And, I just learned that Kathrine Switzer is planning to run the race to celebrate the anniversary of her historic run in 1967.

And I'll tell you what … seeing that cutoff keep moving back from the qualifying times led to a very solid tempo run this week. When I finish my long runs, I like to envision the finish of my marathon.

Here's to envisioning the blue and yellow on Boylston.

Running Psychology Nothing to Fear but Fear Itself When Franklin Roosevelt boldly stated, “we have nothing to fear but fear itself,” little did he realize that he was not only rallying a nation, but he was also giving some very sound sport psychology wisdom. Fear can undermine motivation and keep you from setting goals and going after your dreams. Is fear holding you back in your running?

Have you ever wanted to try some new activity or sport, but you were really afraid to take the chance because you thought you might not be able to successfully perform the skills required? Have you ever not participated in a race because you were worried that you might not run a fast time or that certain competitors would outperform you? On the other hand, do you, or someone you know, persist and push on with a positive attitude even in the face of failure? Do you still enjoy running and competing even when things aren't going the way you would like? Understanding the answers to such questions is often difficult and elusive, but to gain an understanding of why some people fear failure and others do not, there is the need to look into the study of overall human motivation.

The classic research on the human motive to achieve was published by psychologists David McClelland and J.W. Atkinson in 1953. According to their classic model, all humans have a predisposition to either approach or avoid competitive or evaluative situations. In other words, humans have a varying natural need to achieve success and master their environment, be it in running or everyday life skills. This need to achieve, or achievement motivation as it is commonly called, is a result of our internal drive to enter competitive situations with enthusiasm. The motive to achieve success is thought to be the athlete's intrinsic motivation to get involved in a competitive situation and it is closely tied to the concept of confidence. However, the motive to achieve success can be undermined or reduced by the fear of failure.

Mathematically, if the fear of failure is greater than the motivation to get involved in an activity, there is a good chance the individual won't even try, or totally drop out of an activity if already involved. The fear of failure is also directly related to high anxiety levels.

Everyone experiences fear of failure at

By Richard Ferguson, Ph.D.

one time or another, be it in running, work, or relationships. But why is the fear of failure such a major factor in reducing human motivation? For many people the fear of failure develops in the childhood learning environment when there is any form of social evaluation. If at a young age you fail to perform well or lose a competition and adult significant others (i.e., parents, coaches) respond with negative feedback, such as shame, guilt, ridicule etc., then in the future you may associate negative feedback with any failure. Suddenly, trying new things isn't fun anymore because of the risk of not being successful and being ridiculed as a result.

Much of the fear of failure in sports is learned at a very young age.

When the fear of failure becomes prominent, the attitude of, “if I don't risk trying then I won't fail” takes hold. It's such a shame when the fear of failure prevents people from getting involved or staying involved in a sport like running, especially when the fear of failure is often brought about by well meaning family and friends. How often does a runner participate in a race and feel very good about their effort, only to be bombarded by comments like “you didn't win,” “you didn't beat Joe Blow,” “you ran faster last year” or even, “you looked really bad running today?” Feelings of pride and accomplishment are suddenly washed way with feelings of inadequacy.

There are a number of ways you can help overcome your own fear of failure and also be sure you don't instill a fear of failure in others. Above all, regardless of the outcome of a race, be psychologically good to yourself and others who have participated. Always support and value an attempt to do your best, for in reality what more can you ask for?

Emphasizing and rewarding effort must always be paramount in running. You should feel strong race performances are

www.running.net a result of strong effort, both during the race and in training. Never attribute a lack of success to a lack of ability, either in yourself or with others. When anyone feels they're simply “no good” or “have no ability,” feelings of learned helplessness can develop and an internalized attitude of “there is no use in even trying” can dominate motivational thoughts.

Running is a unique sport because success can be defined in many different ways. Runners can be winners no matter what place they finish in a race. All runners have differing goals, such as a new personal best at a specific distance, weekly mileage, placing in an age group, or even simply getting out and running three times a week. When any such goals are reached a genuine accomplishment has occurred. So feel good about any running goals that are reached and share in the sense of goal achievement when other runners reach their personal goals.

Sharing in goal achievement can serve a very important purpose. Humans will often perform in a manner that is consistent with the expectations of significant others. This concept is often referred to as the Pygmalion or expectancy effect. If you expect very little of someone and you communicate this, the person will often perform in a manner that meets your expectation of them. If you show high expectations of someone they will tend to live up to the high expectations. You might say that if you have confidence in someone and you let him or her know it, they will have confidence in themselves.

If you expect success on a consistent basis and you communicate these positive expectations, others will tend to reach higher and live up to your encouragement.

If failure does occur, encouragement from others is critical for resiliency. Expect personal goal success for realistic goals and constantly remind yourself of these positive expectations. Also, encourage those around you, such as training partners, friends and spouses.

Fear of failure can certainly undermine your motivation to achieve and keep you from chasing your dreams and enjoying running. Remember the only pressure in running is the pressure you put on yourself. Go after your goals, have fun and don't be afraid to fail in the process! Little failures are really stepping stones to success.

WOMEN’S RUNNING CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 going from race to race. He never complained about my obsession and was totally with me on every run every day. His grizzly bear side emerged if anyone ever crossed me. I used to tell him I should warn folks that I had a grizzly in my backyard.. I always knew he would be at the finish line waiting for me even when I started getting older and slower.

One of my very favorite Steve stories occurred shortly after we met. He went to a race with me and I lost the overall female title by a few seconds. He had never been to a 10K before and was a bit confused as to why people went out and did this to themselves. I was hot and sweaty and crying because I had lost. He looked at me and asked from his scanty running knowledge base why I was crying. I told him I lost and he quite matter of factly asked if this was the last 10K ever to be run. I looked at him and said "no stupid they have 10K races every weekend." He sweetly then said "so why are you crying if there is one every week?" I learned a great deal about perspective that day and I stopped crying and won a race the following weekend.

He loved all my plaques and trophies and placed each with reverence about our house. He even used my plaques to insulate his wine cellar. Our "cabin" looks like a trophy shop.

Steve lost his Dad at an early age due to a third heart attack and always thought he would be dead by age 46. I remember getting mad at him as he married me at age 44. He just laughed and said I would be a rich widow. He celebrated each birthday after that with a sense of wonder that he was still here. I always teased him that I was either his greatest blessing or worst curse as he managed to live 25 more years. I suppose it is so Steve that he died on the morning of his 72nd birthday. He insisted on no memorial but just to put his ashes in the Bahamas where we sailed for over six months. And he insisted when he passed that he leave our home in his favorite black Baltimore Running Festival tee shirt. He died in my arms in his bed and his pain is over. Mine will continue but I will fulfill his wishes and continue being with our running family.

I know he will be watching over all of us. He was my best and favorite fan and I will so miss his sparkling blue eyes as he cheered me on always. Rest well my sweet angel and keep an eye on all of us as we run down the roads. And as he said to me every night before we went to sleep “Sleep well my love!!"

Running Through the Age Groups Take Care of Little Things, Take Care of Running

After re-reading my article in last month's Journal, it began to sink in just how crazy-busy our summer was, and if all the travel and entertaining weren't enough, I just had to top it off with two back-to-back, really tough mountain races at the end of August.

It's no wonder one of my coaches told me when I returned home that I was not allowed to race again for at least a month. After going through my initial pout, as I seem almost addicted to racing these days, it finally hit home with me just how exhausted my body had become. I was indeed “race-weary” and I didn't even know it! An injury was just waiting to happen.

After about a week of nothing but easy runs, rest days and light cross training, I was finally beginning to feel human again. Another three weeks of training and I was chafing at the bit to race again! So, after securing the coach's approval, I signed up for a “train-through” halfmarathon in Ocean Isle Beach.

My training has me pointed to a fall peak half marathon in early November, so we figured this would be a good way to get a long run in and practice some negative-split strategy about a month before my target race day. Mother Nature, however, put the quietus on that plan, as the race had to be canceled due to high winds and torrential flooding rains.

After first being disappointed, I quickly realized I was actually relieved to not be racing a half marathon that day. Instead, I opted for a nice, super-relaxing, albeit windy and rainy, ten-mile training run on one of my favorite Myrtle Beach routes. As of this writing, I've had a five-week break from racing and am actually excited about a little low-key 5K I'm doing tomorrow.

You might be asking at this point, “What does this have to do with 'Little Things'?” For that matter, “What are 'Little Things'?” I'm referring here to stretching and strength work, rest, cross-training, and active recovery time, all of which I have found after 35 years to be essential to injury-proofing your body. I'll be the first to admit that I absolutely abhor doing strength work and I am not the greatest fan of cross-training.

By Mary Margaret McEachern

ride, a swim, yoga (which targets strength, balance and flexibility), a round of golf (really!), or a combination thereof. I must admit that I tend to feel fresher on the days following a cross-training day, and I seem to be getting faster, so it must be working.

Then there are the days where I'm supposed to - God forbid! - take a complete rest day. Okay, if I'm really tired, one day is okay, but two days (required after racing long) drives me just about batty. Just ask my husband how tough it is to get along with me after a second day of no running.

Fortunately, these complete rest days are often punctuated with “active recovery,” such as super-easy bike rides on the old Earth Cruiser or nice leisurely beach walks. In fact, it's much better for the body to move around some, rather than succumb to the couch, on complete rest days.

Keeping these days fun can be refreshing for both mind and body, and you'll return to running feeling fresh and healthy.

Finally, another “extra,” which I have found effective at keeping aches and pains at bay, involves ice baths.

I'm not talking about the hard-core type where you immerse your entire lower body into an icy cold bath; rather, I use them as prophylactic measures for my feet. My higharched, rigid, supinating feet have historically been most vulnerable to injury, and I have discovered that a laundry pan filled about halfway with ice covered with water is much more effective at keeping pain down than an icepack. I'll admit it takes some getting used to, but once you develop the habit, it isn't so bad, and can net huge payoffs in the long run -- no pun intended!

So … I urge all you fellow running addicts to give some, or all, of these “Little Things” a whirl for a few weeks. See if you notice a difference in how running feels and, more importantly, how you feel! Not only will these things keep you younger, they can prolong your running life.

So, until next time, happy running, cross-training, strength training, resting, stretching, icing, and fun.

Strength training equals torture as far as I am concerned. Some aspects of it, such as using light free weights to supplement body-weight routines, are less onerous than others. I will never, however, be able to either enjoy, let alone get good at, pull-ups and push-ups. My arms are too long and too skinny to build any real bulk, so push-ups are virtually impossible and pull-ups are impossible. I keep trying though, keeping the big picture in mind. Stretching is another one of those things we all should do more of but somehow we find it impossible to find an extra five minutes after that three-hour long run in which to stretch. We could all probably stand to be a little more rigid about stretching!

For folks with little strength-training experience, it is wise to engage a coach or trainer for guidance to avoid falling into the trap of doing too much too soon and thus doing more harm than good. My routine calls for at least one dedicated strength workout per week in addition to several post-run sessions targeting core and hips. My dedicated strength sessions are made more bearable by a short warmup run beforehand. The postrun work is also performed after being thoroughly warmed up by the main workout. I have learned that weak hip and core muscles are among the primary causes of injury in runners. Another advantage of strength training is improved running form which translates to faster running!

Besides strength work, my coaches insist that I substitute cross-training for running once per week. I find this tough because of my subconscious dependence on the notion that missing a day per week of running is a mortal sin and that cross-training is not real exercise. These cross-train- Mary Margaret can be reached at ing sessions usually involve a bike mmmceachern@bellsouth.net

Deena Kastor Sets Masters Record 2:27:47

By Larry Eder, RunBlogRun

On a week that Colleen de Reuck and her husband, Darren, were competing in the Ironman Triathlon, Deena Kastor paid Ms. De Reuck the greatest compliment: Kastor broke DeReuck's 2:28:40 U.S. Masters' record. Enroute, Deena also set a second master's record, of 1:45:04 at 30k!

The U.S. Masters record for the marathon was 2:28:40 by Colleen de Reuck. No one had come near that record.

It was only appropriate, that as Deena Kastor continued to enjoy her journey into Master's running, that the current American record holder in the marathon, used those years of muscle memory and the benefits of a life with many dimensions to shoot for the moon.

"I am a mom now, there is only so much time for training.

If I am going to head out for a second run, and leave Piper, I better make it worthwhile." noted a beaming Deena after the race.

Two weeks ago, at the RNR San Jose 5k, I arrived at the finish just in time to see Deena Kaster finish third overall and tie the U.S. Master's record for the 5k with her 15:48. In the subsequent interview, a fully recovered (after ten minutes) Kastor noted that "I had a little bug, but I love this race and like to run in San Jose."

In the back of my cerebellum, I noted that Deena was

Deena Kastor, courtesy of ASICS communications

ready to race. The whole 5k-marathon thing is something that many old school marathoners use to tell their fitness.

Frank Shorter used to find a two-mile or three-mile race during the week before his marathon performances. Others would find a 5k a week or two out and see how the speed was coming along.

Deena Kastor, in the week preceeding the marathon, noted that this was her focus: trying to ge the U.S. Master's record of 2:28:40. She was not even thinking of the U.S. Olympic Trials Marathon, to be held in February in Los Angeles. "After the marathon, I want to help my team mates make the Trials." noted Deena.

In the race, Deena Kastor was all business. "I found my pace." noted Deena.

And she stuck with it and the plan divised by coach/husband, Andrew Kastor, a coach who I respect more and more each and every day. Andrew is pleasant, focused and positive. A great combination for a coach, husband and father.

Under Andrew and Deena's tutelage, the ASICS supported Mammoth TC continues to thrive and focus on the year ahead.

Deena Kastor got out and stayed on task, hitting the 5k in 17:22 and 10k in 34:46.

The 15k in 52:33 and 20k in 1:10:10 showed Deena that she was on her game. Her 1:14:03 gave her a bit of room in case the wind or lagging energy caught up.

But, Deena stayed focused. HItting the 30k in 1:45:04, Deena set her first American Master's record of the day.

The women's elite was riveting, as seven women were in contention for the win at 30k, after the fine pacing of Kayoko Fukishi for most of the race throug 18 miles.

Deena Kastor is an athlete who can focus. Running some of the finest races of her life, and enjoying her growing daughter and the success of the Mammoth Track Club with her husband, Deena seems more relaxed.

The 30k to finish is the key to any marathon, and Deena Kastor rarely runs poorly in the last 12k.

Kastor hit 35k in 2:02:31 and the last seven kilometers, while "a grind," showed that Kastor was in fine form.

Watching Deena Kastor churn up the final seven kilometers, the 2004 Olympic bronze medalist was unstoppable as she ran the final miles to the finish.

In nearly perfect conditions, Deena Kastor ran 2:27:47, taking nearly a minute off Colleen de Reuck's U.S. Masters marathon record of 2:28:40.

Just how good is Deena Kastor?

Well, her 2:27:47 is the fourth best time for U.S. women in the Olympic Trials qualifing window. When Chicago's Phil Hersh queried her on her interests in the Olympic Trials, Kastor smiled, and responded as one who has had some experience with the press.

"I am taking a vacation. Then, I want to help my teammates make the Trials. That is my focus. If, after some vacation, I find the fire to focus on the Trials, then, I will think about the race."

Deena Kastor could be a press secretary for a president of our country.

Deena's strength is that she is not putting pressure on herself except in focused settings. Take a break, have some fun, run with her teammates.

The system is working.

And with two American records for master's women, Deena Kastor has found her secret to success.

We will just have to wait on the Trials possibilities ...

This Running Life Dreaming Big, Having Fun, Setting New Records If you have ever wanted to do something totally audacious and off the charts crazy and wonderful, take a look at three visionaries in Raleigh who dreamed big and well, ran with it.

The results were jaw dropping and great fun.

By Teri Saylor

Flip flop runners break Guinness World Record Last summer, more than 1,200 flip flopclad feet, running, walking, and in some cases stumbling across a winding neighborhood of residents in eternal repose. It might have been the quietest race in Raleigh that summer, except for the live spectators cheering from above the ground.

This run was a record-breaking event, not for the fact it was held in a graveyard, and it's safe to say no one earned a P.R. But the run did set a world record for the most runners ever to run at least one meter in flip flops all at the same time.

On June, 20, with the temperature hovering in the 90s, more than 600 runners wearing flip flops and colorful tee shirts gathered in Raleigh's historic Oakwood Cemetery to break a Guinness World Book record.

“We needed 352 runners to break the record, and ended up with 613,” said Elizabeth Pagano, the run organizer and founder of the nOg Run Club, sponsored by the Tir Na Nog Irish pub in Raleigh.

The previous flip flop run record included 352 runners in Vienna in 2006.

Not content to rest on her laurels, Pagano will take aim at her own record next summer, on June18, 2016, and she has set a goal of 1,000 runners in flip flops.

That event likely will not take place in the cemetery though, not out of fear or disturbing the residents, but to avoid the heat of the

Dennis Duquette and Mike Young

day.

“We couldn't enter the cemetery until a certain time, so we had to set up the corralling area and get everyone placed on the course to record the attempt,” she explained in an email. “It was a really hot day, so we were trying to go as quickly as possible so people didn't have to stand in the sun so long.”

Pagano chose the cemetery in the first place because the Raleigh City Council has limited the number of road runs that can take place in town. She also wanted to use the proceeds from the run to benefit local charities.

“We had to look for private property,” she said. “It actually saved us thousands of dollars by having it in the cemetery since we did not need to pay for police, permit fees, or mail road closure notices.”

Three years ago, Pagano and her club tried to set a world record for the most runners wearing a kilt.

“Unfortunately, we have fallen short every year and we were searching for records we could break,” she said. “We thought the flip flop run record would be the perfect record to break.”

Runners were delighted with the idea they would contribute to a Guinness World

Record and Pagano could not have been more pleased.

“The most rewarding aspect of this was finally breaking a record and raising $6,000 for charity,” she said.

Running for words In the beloved children's book, “Charlotte's Web,” a spider spells out words of wisdom and encouragement in her web each day.

Mike Young, a realtor in Wake Forest, using a network of Raleigh's downtown streets and a GPS app on his phone, created his own version of Charlotte's Web, actually spelling out words on his run.

“I had been thinking about doing this for years,” he told me in a phone conversation.

Young, who participates in the nOg Run Club's Monday night social runs saw his opportunity when the club celebrated its 7th anniversary last August.

He sprang into action, plotting out a route in downtown Raleigh that would spell “Nog Run Club.”

He pulled up a map of Raleigh on Google, printed it out and examined the possibilities.

“The way the streets are laid out, there were only so many choices to make,” he

said.

He drafted out possible routes on paper, but had no way of knowing the distance involved. So he recruited his friend Dennis Duquette and convinced him to be his accomplice.

At 8.25 miles, it turned out to be a pretty long run.

Because he spelled out three words, he had to keep backtracking so the letters would look right, he said.

“When I doubled back, I had to run back the exact route, to the beginning and that added distance,” he said.

It took Young and Duquette nearly an hour and a half to complete their message, including waiting at stoplights and stopping for cars to pass at intersections.

One area on the run was completely cordoned off with a fence, so the pair had to improvise.

As for spelling out “nog run club” on his GPS app, the club liked it, Young said. And if he has the opportunity, he'll do it again.

“It was really fun,” Young said. “We got to see parts of the city we have never seen before.”

Making the little mile a really big deal Setting Mile Records Last August, more than 2,000 spectators cheered as they watched five men run a sub four-minute mile at the Sir Walter Miler track meet in Raleigh. Three women ran sub 4:30 miles.

Other top male finishers were Kyle Merber (3:57.97), Jack Bolas (3:58.83), Lex Williams (3:59.40) and Brandon Hudgins (3:59.67).

Finishing the women's race right behind Garcia were Amanda Eccleston (4:29.06) and Heather Wilson (4:29.39).

The Sir Walter Miler, named for the city of Raleigh's namesake, is the brainchild and a labor of love for local runners, Pat Price,

Running Journal • November, 2015 Sandy Roberts and Logan Roberts, who started the event in 2013 as a way for Sandy to attempt to break a four-minute mile.

Price dubbed the run “The Sandman Mile,” and Cardinal Gibbons High School offered its track for the event. With little fanfare and a couple hundred spectators Roberts ran for all he was worth.

Roberts' mile PR is 4:01.24, earned when he was in school at Georgetown. With his brother, Logan pacing him for two laps before dropping out, Roberts finished his Sandman mile in 4:06.

In 2014, Price followed up the Sandman Mile with the first Sir Walter Miler at

Meredith College in Raleigh. Three men broke 4 minutes that night. Roberts finished in 4:05.02.

The Sir Walter Miler is more than just a race for elite runners. Price visualizes the race as a fun event for the entire community, and involves runners from clubs and local stores to compete for bragging rights.

He answered a few questions about the Sir Walter Miler, which is growing into a major event in Raleigh.

How do you find the elite athletes and convince them to compete?

Each year it has been word of mouth. The video from the Sandman Mile got elites excited for the 2014 event, and then the success of that led to the competitors telling their friends on the circuit, which made it easier for 2015.

Did you expect to conquer so many 4minute miles? And 4:30-minute miles for the women?

We knew we had a hot men's field this year, but it never gets old. Having Lex Williams and Brandon Hudgins break 4 for the first time was just as special as watching Robby Andrews kick for the win. The look of pure joy on their faces is impossible to compare to anything. For the women, it was a bit of a surprise. We knew Steph Garcia had it in her, but Amanda Eccleston and Heather Wilson both had huge races. Only 57 American women had achieved sub 4:30 before our race, and now we have five percent of the market.

What can we look forward to next year?

More of the same. We like our format and how it works, so we don't want to change too much. What you've seen the past two years will remain very similar to what you will see in 2016.

Threats of flooding and the promise of steady rain couldn't dampen spirits of the runners that came out October 3rd to the 2015 Great Allegany Run in Cumberland, MD. Despite a number of challenges, the persistence of longtime race director Dave Treber, the Queen City Striders (QCS) and the new addition of the RacePacket Timing and Event Management team brought the community together to continue this longstanding Western Maryland tradition.

The 34th Annual Great Allegany Run began at 8:00am at the Kemp Lodge in Mount Savage and wound down route 36 to the Narrows, past the CSX rail line and in the shadow of the Great Allegany Passage, steadily declining 475 ft over the first 10k before finishing in Downtown Cumberland where finishers were greeted with fresh-brewed local coffee from Café Mark, and donuts from M + M Bake Shop, whose storefront

SOUTHEASTERN ROAD RACE RESULTS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 22 sits just 30 yards from the finish line. This year's race featured a smaller field than in previous years, primarily due to the threat of inclement weather if Hurricane Joaquin made landfall during the race, but those who came out enjoyed the same no-frill classic PR road race that those privileged to know about the Great Allegany Run have come to expect.

Lucas Young (20) of Ridgeley, West Virginia won the 15k in 53:47, finishing a minute and a half before Mark Neff (53), coming in at 55:25.

Heather Parks (40) another West Virginian, hailing from Bruceton Mills, won the Women's Division, coming in 3rd overall in 1:00:19 kicking it in at the finish to come in 12 seconds before Tim Yoder of Philadelphia (1:00:31) and a full 6 minutes before the second-place female, Jackie Horvath (51, Liognier, PA, 1:06:30). Tim was the first of the Yoder clan to finish, followed by Rachel (27, 1:12:39), Wendell (63, 1:13:45), Jennifer (29, 1:14:52) and Lauren in the 5k (26:51). View past winning times on the RacePacket Extras page.

The 5k, an out-and-back through Downtown Cumberland also began at 8:00am and was won by a father-son duo. Shane May (41) of Bedford, PA was the first finisher to cross the finish line in 17:55, followed by his son, Van May (12) in 20:48.

The first Cumberland resident to finish was thirdplace male, Neil Alexander (30) in 23:52. Lauren Yoder was the first place Female 5k finisher, in 26:51, edging out Megan Krum of Lavale, MD, who finished in 26:59.

The 34th Annual Great Allegany Run remained true to its roots, featuring a tight-knit local crowd, and runners travelling from further away in pursuit of a PR that they could only dream of on another course. Those who stuck around for the Queen City Film Festival, also hosted at the Ramada Inn Downtown Cumberland on October 2nd and 3rd got the chance to meet Cumberland Native Eddie Deezen (Eugene from the 1978 film Grease) and check out his short film “I Love You, Eddie Deezen” as well as a host of other independent films. The festival typifies the cultural fare unique to the Historic Arts and Culture District of Cumberland that adds that special destination element to an already exciting race. Of course, this race would not be possible without the commitment of the community. Special thanks to the City of Cumberland, the Allegany County Sheriff's Office, Cumberland Police Department and Maryland State Troopers who aided as Course Marshals and provided the lead motorcycles for the 15k and 5k. The YMCA donated buses to transport runners from the Ramada Inn in Downtown Cumberland to Mt. Savage, and several volunteers from Frostburg State University¬served to man water stations, set out over 6 miles of cones along route 36/40 and provide support at the finish line. With the renewed efforts and new

Running Journal • November, 2015

Running Fitness Running is Cheaper Than Therapy OK. Fess up. How many of you have that running shirt? How many of you have seen it in a store and wanted to buy it because you thought it was one of the best shirts out there? One of the reasons is because it is so true!

How many times have you been faced with a tough problem or situation and decided to go out for a run to gain clarity or solutions? Running has long been studied as a first line of defense against depression and improving mood and overall well-being. That is the number one reason why runners get so cranky when they can't run: endorphin withdrawal.

Many a book has been born along with detailed ideas and writing during runs. Is it merely escape from problems that we seek? Or is it by taking a break that involves creating causes healthy oxygenated blood to surge through our brain that gives us the creativity and ability to muddle through the worst of problems?

Isn't it amazing how often you can come back from a run and feel rejuvenated and well rehearsed in responding to that difficult boss, relative or conflict with a host of potential scripts and one-liners?

Running is magical in many ways, and this is just one of them.

I have met more than one runner who started out walking and felt like the increased calorie burn in half the time it takes to run was motivation enough to transition from walking to running. It's just a more efficient use of time. As we age, it may seem that we have more time.

But ironically, retirees can be way busier than their younger counterparts. Perhaps it is because the recognition that we all get the same number of hours in a day becomes more of a stark reality as the biological time clock marches on relentlessly.

The reckoning with our mortality came recently when one of my dearest friends and authors with my publisher died in in a car crash. He was dubbed by “Vegetarian Magazine” in the 1970's as “The Sproutman.” Otherwise known as Steve Meyerowitz, he had many books, including one I loved on water and proper hydration.

It was that book that blew out my lifelong excruciating painful ear problem when flying. The pain was so bad on the

descents during flying that I thought I would need to go to the ER upon deplaning. His book said that if you don't get enough water, your body in a chronic dehydrated state, will find any way it can to get more water. The body goes into a histamine reaction. When we get a cold, sometimes we take anti-histamines. The histamine reaction is our body's way of creating an allergic reaction to a sting, or allergy triggers. When we are chronically dehydrated, our body goes into this same histamine reaction trying to scavenge water from any body part it can, be it the brain, the nasal passages, lungs or even the heart, that causes the sinuses to produce more fluid. That's right, the heart!

A cardiologist told me once that my particular kind of chest pain could be alleviated with more water. Sure enough, he was absolutely right. And in my years as a tea drinker, the caffeine, as limited as it is in tea, was enough to cause dehydration and fill my ears with fluid. I discovered that on days that I fly, if I avoided any caffeine and loaded up on water, I had zero pressure in my ears and zero pain. I was astounded by the difference. As a very frequent flyer over the past few years, it has worked every time I've flown. I know I never thanked Steve for that life-saving information.

Steve had more energy than people half his age, and he inspired many people to achieve their potential optimal health through adding more greens, sprouts and the broader plant-based diet. When I learned of his death, I thought mostly of him the next few times I went out to run.

He had just come to speak in Sarasota a few months ago and asked if he could stop by to brainstorm about his next book. He said the Massachusetts winter had frozen the earth below the frost line and he had to spend thousands of dollars on repairing

pipes. He was seriously looking at moving to Florida. Although he had been my publisher's most successful author until recently he said, even selling a publishing company of his to our publisher, he was considering other options for his next book. We took a selfie at the beach, and then he was gone. Just like that.

During my recent trip to speak at the Alaska Vegfest in Anchorage, I stayed at the organizer's home, which was also a B&B in the foothills of a couple of mountain ranges. I got to run and hike over some gorgeous terrain. Nothing like a return to the cold to appreciate the warmth of where you live.

At our meals, my hosts would hold

hands with everyone seated around the table. We closed eyes and someone expressed gratitude for something that had happened that day. During my 12hour trip home, I reflected on how very short life can be. Running may not solve all your problems, but run as much as you can to process the insanity and unfairness of life. Be sure to thank anyone who has done anything nice for you, ideally as close to the time it happens. You just never know…
