Running Through the Bluegrass She believed she could, so she did It took two tries, but I completed my tenth marathon in November at Monumental in Indianapolis. I DNF'd one this spring, so this fall, I went back to a tried-and-true training plan and vowed to stick with it. I also resolved to temper my ambitions a bit and to run a smarter race.

“It's bad luck to put your mouth on times your feet can't reach.” Despite a lackluster training cycle in the spring, I still thought I could PR at that race and I went out way too fast.

This time, I toed the line Nov. 7 in great shape, having hit my mileage exactly each of the 12 weeks of my training program. I had skipped some speed sessions, but my long runs had been the best they've ever been and I even finished both 20 milers under goal marathon pace.

For weeks, I had told people my goal was 3:15 - a very reasonable, realistic goal supported by training and race times. And I intended to go out with the 3:15 pace group and sit through at least halfway, maybe longer if that seemed appropriate.

My brain said 3:15. My heart said 3:10.

My legs could not be trusted because they'd say something like “PR” or “men's BQ.” So my rational brain knew setting my goal around 3:13 and going out at a doable 3:15 pace to start was a very good plan. In fact, it was a very good plan. It is not, however, a plan I followed entirely.

First, total rookie mistake was messing up my watch at the start. I missed the first 400 meters. This becomes way more annoying at the end of the race. The 3:15 pack got out fast and I tried to ease my way up to them. Somewhere around mile 2 I caught them … and stayed with them for less than a mile. I had already settled into a groove and it wasn't their groove.

“This is probably a bad idea,” I thought.

But when I'd try to slow down it just didn't feel right. I mean, I really felt good.

Later, I would find out that my slowest mile of the entire race was mile 3. MILE 3. Have you ever heard such nonsense?

The first 5 miles clicked by like nothing.

Of course, this is the part of the race when you're surrounded by half-marathoners, so not going fast is hard. Fortunately they split just after 7 miles, so things quieted down pretty quick. At this point, I could see the 3:10 group up ahead but didn't

off at 22. Then there's just a 5k to go. One of my Team New Balance Louisville teammates had planned to catch me at 24, so I'm bummed when I don't see him. I run into a guy wearing a Speakeasies Bourbon Chase team singlet, which means we know a lot of people in common. We don't stay together long - he's fading.

With a mile to go, I get two teammates not just one! - and a welcome distraction.

Both guys had run the half - one with his wife, and the other's wife was running the full. I quiz them on how their wives are doing, and about how two of our other teammates fared in the half.

They hop back out and I realize I am going to be very close to my PR from 2010. I don't really know how close, because I messed up my watch.

Kickity-kick-kick. I catch one woman but not another.

I stop my watch but I know the time isn't accurate, but fortunately the timing company has a tent right there and they'll give you a print off.

3:10:18. For those of you keeping track at home, that's 8 seconds slower than my PR from five very long years ago. Would I have liked to break that? Definitely.

Every time. But I have no complaints. I ran a beautiful, well-executed race and felt strong the entire time. I didn't walk, not even through water stops. I almost split even halves - 1:34:54 and 1:35:26.

Once the final results were posted, I was the 26th female (top 1.5%) and 7th in my AG. I had hoped to crack the top 50!

Monumental is a great race. We've gone the past three years and keep going back because it's a top-notch race organized by people who obviously care about the runner experience. Plus, it's a flat, fast course at a great time of year. It also benefits Indianapolis Public Schools through the district's foundation and other related charities, and the race has a mission of educating Indianapolis youth about the benefits of exercise, proper diet and healthy living; and combating community deterioration and juvenile delinquency by promoting health, physical fitness and wellness in the Indianapolis community.

Much to the chagrin of runners I know who consider Monumental their “home-

want to push trying to catch them.

At halfway, I had intended to be at 1:37:30. I split 1:34:54. That's not even a bad half-marathon time!

I passed a lot of runners in the later part of the race, including quite a few girls.

The girls, in particular, I would always say something to, because to be up there means you've put in work and it is just not going your way right now. I've been there, and it sucks. And there really aren't that many girls around.

Knowing all the 12-mile runs I did on weekdays was a big confidence boost this year. “10 to go? I run farther than that with my headlamp before work on Thursdays."

Around 19, the race goes through the Indianapolis Museum of Art - my favorite part of the course. It's a park-like setting (I think the IMA has 100 acres including trails) with a bunch of cheering volunteers. I was still catching and passing people, and leaving the IMA I caught an older woman who is clearly a stud. Honestly as I caught up to her I was reminded of Joan Benoit Samuelson similiar build, similar hair … It wasn't Joanie, but it was a really nice lady nonetheless. “You are having a great race!” Thanks, I said, so are you. She asked if I would BQ. I said it was looking good, and that a 3:15 would get me in the first group to register. She told me she was 48, so her qualifying time was a 3:45 or something. I told her I was pretty sure she'd be fine.

After the race, I trolled the results and figured out that woman is Dianne Griesser, who last year ran 3:03:25 to win the women's division of the Martian Marathon in Michigan. Dianne, you rock.

At mile 20, I still feel good. Unusual. I'm slowing down but not by much. I take my last (and third) gel at 21, I take my gloves CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

Learning from the Young Guns Climb to Great Winter Fitness It's 2016 and that means it's time to live up to your New Year's Resolution to have a great year of training and tackle more hills. What's that, you don't remember making a resolution to run more hills? It's a good thing I'm here to refresh your memory! At our adult running camps when we tell people they should spend more time running hills the response is usually a somewhat shameful sigh of acknowledgment. Everyone knows that running hills is good for you, but so many of us still avoid them like the plague. The winter is a perfect time to run more hills to boost your fitness and running economy heading into the spring.

Unless you're racing a full or half marathon, the winter, with a lack of racing opportunities, can be a difficult time to know what you should be doing in your training. The winter is the time of the year to focus on putting in base building miles that will set the stage for success in spring and summer races. Hills are a great way to mix up the monotony of running long and easy every day without sacrificing the purpose of the base building phase. Additionally, with hills you will see good benefits simply by doing a couple of hilly runs a week where you focus on running a little bit harder up each hill you come to. And what are those benefits?

Think of hill running as nature's weight room for distance runners. Hill training builds strength in the legs that improves fitness and prepares the muscles and the connective tissues for harder workouts later in a training program.

Running uphill increases the demand on your leg muscles, more so than running on flat ground, in a way that increases muscular recruitment that improves running efficiency.

Uphill running improves running efficiency by improving muscle recruitment patterns and by reinforcing proper running posture. In addition to the mechanical benefits, hill running also improves your aerobic fitness - that part that leaves you huffing and puffing when you get to the top!

For many people the idea of dedicating weeks or months to base building and easy running can be too tedious to put into practice. Hill training is a great way to break up some of the monotony and add some harder running into your base building phase. Hill training is much safer than traditional interval work or other types of running that produce a similar effort because the impact force of uphill running is so much less than it is on flat ground. Being located in the mountains of Western North Carolina, our ZAP Fitness athletes spend a lot of time training on hills. In addition to doing traditional uphill repeats we will often do uphill tempo runs. The trick to reaping the benefits of being here in the mountains and having access to great hill training is that we have to be careful of running too much downhill.

Downhill running has its benefits as well, but it does increase the impact forces on your body greatly compared to uphill and, to a lesser extent, flat running. If you are going to add hill training to your routine be sure to be cautious with downhills and focus on keeping your feet landing underneath your hips as you are run downhill.

While running sustained uphill runs of 5-7 miles like we do here in the mountains isn't a realistic option for most people, you can do sustained uphill running, it may just be indoors on a treadmill. If you're faced with treadmill run-

Since 1984 we’ve

ning during the winter months anyway, mixing in some sustained uphill running is a fantastic way to elevate your fitness while reducing the impact stress normally associated with harder running.

There is a designed treadmill workout we use with our athletes that is ideal for passing the time on the treadmill we don't use it for that purpose, but it is a nice ancillary benefit. It is called “minute-minute-minute cycles” and the structure sounds complicated, but it's quite simple. After an easy warm-up, start at 30-40 seconds/mile slower than marathon pace at an incline of 1%. Run that pace for 1 minute, and then move the pace up .1 mph and the incline to 2% for the 2nd minute, and up .1mph and to 3% for the 3rd minute. After the 3rd minute go right back to the 1st minute and repeat the sequence up to 2-3 times before moving on to the next 3 minute sequence, which you will start .1 mph faster than the previous sequence. You can do up to 5-6 three minute sequences, and once you get the hang of it you can mix up the paces and the inclines a little bit more.

It does require a lot of button pushing, but it's a great workout to practice changing gears within a run.

Before trying the “minute-minute-minute cycle” workout you should spend 3-4 weeks where you finish one run a week with some uphill repeats. Start with 6-10 repeats of 25 seconds each with a very easy walk or jog to the bottom between each. The next week do 6-10 repeats of 40-45 seconds each, and then 6-10 repeats of 60 seconds each. From there you can increase repeats or vary the distance. For example, do 3-4 repeats of 60 seconds, 3-4 repeats of 45 seconds, and 3-4 repeats of 30 seconds. All of these hill repeat workouts should be done at a strong effort, but one where you finish feeling like you could do more. If you're on the treadmill you should target an incline of 3-6% Try running more hills this winter to keep you motivated and engaged, and to springboard your fitness like never before heading into the spring and summer.

He Said, She Said What Would Surprise Others About You? When one witnesses a runner crossing a 100-mile finish line in less than 18 hours, he can make several simple assumptions somewhat safely. 'Many training miles were trekked prior to beginning the 100mile journey,' 'effective fuel was an important part of the prizewinning path,' and 'this athlete must have tremendous mental and physical fortitude for such a feat,' are among the many reasonable suspicions. But what information would fail to make the list of likely pre-race experiences of a 100-mile ultra distance Champion?

I recently reached out to the overall male and female winners of the inaugural Daytona 100 ultramarathon to ask, “What is one thing that others would be surprised to learn about you?”

He (Rokas Zickevicius) Said…

“Hmmm... maybe that I used to work as a fashion model in Miami and New York City,” 27-year old Rokas Zickevicius of Hallandale Beach, Florida said.

His appearance on the runway may have been what impressed people in the

past, but it is definitely the way he runs that causes due pause today. This was especially true at the inaugural Daytona 100 ultramarathon on Nov. 7t, when Zickevicius crossed the finish line in 17 hours and 25 minutes to claim first place and set the course record.

“First place was only [the] icing on the cake. For me, running ultras is more about racing against yourself and looking for [your] body's limits one step at a time,” Zickevicius said.

Zickevicius's steps began in mid-July, when he officially began training for his first 100-mile feat.

“I gave myself 16 weeks to get ready,” he said, explaining that he delved into July with weekly mileage that averaged around 50 miles over a period of five or six days, and peaked, over the course of his training, at about 95 weekly miles.

His weekly routine consisted of one speed workout, one tempo run, and one long run interspersed with easy runs of 610 miles, and occasional 12 to 15-mile runs the day after long runs. He also cross trained two to four times a week at the gym,and biked 30 to 70 miles on Sundays.

He worked a 50-mile race into his training schedule in September and ran a 50k race at the beginning of October.

Zickevicius noticed that he seemed to be getting faster with the long distance races he ran last year, beginning with the Palm 50k, then with the Croom Fools 50k, and culminating in May with the Keys 100 50-miler, where he finished in 8 hours and 14 minutes, and placed second overall.

In a relatively short period of time, Zickevicius has realized tremendous running accomplishments. It was only about five years ago that he began running recreationally to stay in shape. Inspired after seeing a NYC Marathon ad, he

Indeed it is a task that he will likely tackle again as he looks into 2016. While the Georgia Death Race is the only race for which Zickevicus has already registered, Daytona remains on his 2016 race radar. The runway may very well be a surprising item of interest from his past, but the way Zickevicius runs has churned a new interest among his contemporaries that certainly has people anxious to see what he accomplishes next.

She (Noelani Taylor) Said…

“Although I'm generally a super clean eater (and pescatarian) today, I once placed second in a hot dog eating contest -- two minutes, six hot dogs with buns,” 36-year old, Noelani Taylor of Saint Augustine, Florida said.

Of course, hot dogs were not the fuel that propelled Taylor across the Daytona 100 finish line in 17 hours and 42 minutes, placing second overall and first Overall Female. For the most part, she relied on calories that did not come from solid foods, as well as Tailwind and the occasional energy-boosting dark chocolate-covered espresso bean.

Taylor's running coach, Dave Krupski, is also the race director of the Daytona 100 ultramarathon. Taylor said that Krupski projected that she could likely finish the 100-mile race in the top 3, so when entering the race, she made that her goal.

began training to run a half marathon in Fort Lauderdale. The Miami ING 26.2 followed, as did a handful of other half marathons. Frustrated with finishing times that failed to “seem fast enough” in his own eyes, Zickevicius swore off running. In fact, he did not run for about two years.

Then, he met two ultra runners, laced back up, and began running farther and faster than he had ever imagined running before. Those miles likely fueled his confidence to register for the Daytona 100 as soon as he heard about it.

“I thought it [would] be a great race as a first 100 miler,” he said - and according to his victorious finish, it was.

Zickevicius started his day by fueling with two avocados with salt, and a container of raspberries. For the rest of the 100 miles, 75 percent of his calories were consumed from Tailwind, an endurance sports drink that worked for him during long training runs. He also mixed in a tablespoon of MCT oil every hour, and absorbed the remainder of his calories from peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, bananas and avocados throughout the day.

Quality calories did not outshine great CONTINUED ON PAGE 18 company along his 100-mile course. His parents crewed him through his first 100miler, just as they had crewed him through his 50-miler in the Keys earlier in the year. His dad even helped him achieve a faster pace by running with him for a few miles before the final stretch of beach that led to the finish line. Fellow runners were also welcomed company.

“I think sharing miles with world class runners, such as Noelani Taylor, Patrick Hrabos, Joe Fejes and all the others who motivated and sometimes even encouraged me to keep going, was a favorite part of the whole Daytona 100 experience,” he said.

Of course, he also enjoyed the burgers, beer, and post-race camaraderie that awaited him after being the first of only 59 runners to successfully cross the 100mile finish line.

“Crossing the finish line is definitely a great feeling. I think it doesn't matter if you are first, second, or last. It's a huge accomplishment, since being able to do a 100 mile race is not an easy task,” Noelani Taylor Zickevicius said.

Running Psychology A More Positive Approach to Running Positive Psychology is currently one of the hottest areas of study by psychologists. Why are some people positive thinkers and other more negative in their outlooks? None of us were born being positive or negative thinkers. We have all learned to think in a positive or negative manner through varied life and socialization experiences. The word “learn” is the key here! We can all learn to become more positive in how we approach our running and how we approach life in general.

Life has its ups and downs, ongoing challenges and obstacles that must be overcome. We can use these challenges as an excuse for not trying or even as an excuse for failing, or we can look at challenges as an opportunity to grow and become successful. Runners who perceive challenges as a positive tend to find a way to turn the challenges into enhanced motivation to reach their goals. They strive to meet the challenges and continue on

toward reaching their long-term running goals.

We all need to strive to perceive challenging situations that confront us in running in a manner that will allow us the greatest opportunity to be successful and reach our potential. When challenging situations present themselves, we should view the situations as ones in which we can be successful, and not look at them from the very beginning as an “I can't do that” opportunity. We should all view every event as an opportunity to excel and

give our best effort, not as an opportunity for failure.

All of this is not to say that failures and disappointments will never occur. Being more positive simply means having patience and being persistent when challenges do present themselves. Even when failure does occur, positive runners realistically evaluate their performance and use the failure as an opportunity to grow and find ways to improve their running. You could say that it forces us to leave our “comfort zone.”

All of us have felt frustration from time to time with our running, whether it's an injury or less than expected performance.

A good way to remain positive in these situations is to talk to runners who have gone through the same types of challenges in their running. Find out how they met the challenge and overcame it. This is what the famous psychologist, Albert Bandura termed participatory modeling.

Also, take pride in the fact that we are indeed involved in a challenging sport like running. It's the discipline, work ethic and dedication that helps us achieve in running and these talents should never be forgotten, in running or in life. The constant striving to be better and meet challenges is what makes running exciting.

Don't allow setbacks to turn into longterm frustration or excuses for failure.

Use setbacks as an opportunity to increase motivation and meet a new challenge. Again, keep that positive focus!

Think about specific instances where running challenges have been met and overcome. We have all faced challenges and overcome them. Be Positive!

Certainly, everything in running is not “fair.” An injury is not fair, someone who never trains, yet runs fast races is not fair, nor is training for months and then having a poor performance. Being positive means not allowing such events to get us down. Positive runners realize everything is not going to be “fair” in their running, but they do place great value on their ability to remain positive in the face of challenge. They understand that being positive can enhance dedication and discipline and can help them return from injury, run better than some more physically gifted runners and be able to face any challenge and have confidence in their ability to overcome the challenge they face.

Being positive also means being able to delay gratification, or in other words, having the ability to set and strive for goals which may only be reached months or years down the road. When setbacks do come on the road to a long-term goal, positive runners understand that the setbacks are only a temporary thing and above all, they learn from their failures so as to decrease the likelihood of the same type of setback occurring in the future.

Viewing weaknesses in a positive manner is also an invaluable characteristic for runners. If we can honestly evaluate ourselves and what weaknesses we have, we can then work to improve them. For example, if we know we are poor hill runners, yet refuse to face the fact, then our hill running ability will never improve.

However, if we can honestly look at our weaknesses and design our training to improve them, then we will certainly become better runners. So admitting weakness is not a negative, it's really a positive, for it's only after identifying weakness can we improve upon the weakness.

Positive runners also view anxiety as a positive. They understand that nervousness is the body's signal that it is getting prepared for physical action. Anxiety helps positive runners instead of debilitating them. The butterflies in the stomach, sweaty palms and fine muscle tremors are signals that we're “ready to rock.”

Above all, being positive means taking credit for success. Too many runners take blame when they fail, yet don't take credit when they have success. Learn to take pride in improvement and goal attainment. Feel good about successes and don't even dare think that the reason for successful performance is due to luck or a lack of challenge. When we train hard we are truly worthy of success.

Keep in mind that talent comes in both physical and psychological forms. By working to develop a more positive perspective in running, we will soon realize that being positive is a very valuable talent that can enhance our running from both a personal enjoyment and personal performance standpoint. Learning to be more positive, even in times of challenge, can help all of us get the MOST out of ourselves in running and in life.

Ultra Running What Running Resolutions Will You Make?

By Ray Krolewicz

to recovery as well.

A better resolution may be to decide on a number of miles per week to be run, or to build to a specific number of miles run per week. For this resolution one must be careful to build gradually and increase total mileage in approximately equal increments until the goal is reached. It must be remembered that life may interfere with this resolution. There may be weeks when the specific goal is not reached. As with streaking, there should be a rational for continuing to train. At times when running is not advisable, it is

often wise to skip running until the situation improves. Hopefully over an extended period of time, the building to greater mileage totals will occur even with taking time off as necessary when feeling twinges or illness. Training is so longitudinal that missing an occasional run makes no difference in the grand scheme of fitness, and often allows for greater quality on the runs that are completed.

A resolution to improve the quality of runs is also made frequently. While this is admirable one must remember that there is a range of training paces that should be adhered to. Just as too low a quality of running can adversely affect performance, so can too much intensity.

A well-blended program should be the goal. I have observed for many years that most runners train too hard on a daily basis, and not hard enough when they should be going hard. Making a resolution that fosters this type of inefficient

It is time once again for New Year's Resolutions. We all make them, some publicly, others privately. Even those who make public resolutions often have private ones and they are usually the important ones. For the purpose of this column, since we all want to be better people, only running resolutions will be examined.

The goal to run every day is a frequent resolution. It is an admirable goal, though not necessarily a prudent one.

Aside from those who are “streakers� and have umpteen years without missing a day of running it is sometimes a good idea to take a day, or even two off. For those who do decide to run every day there is always the necessity of determining what constitutes a run, both in terms of distance and pace. Some runners accept hobbling a mile on crutches, or something similar, as a run, others think something of that nature not only fails to qualify as a run, but might be a hindrance

a Bad Thing.

training, regardless of how well intended, can only lead eventually to unwanted consequences. These consequences of course can include injury and burnout, both of which contribute to sub-par performances.

The resolution to improve race performances might be a good one. This resolution relies heavily on consistent and effective training. In this one size fits all resolution, the “breaking� of the resolution is harder to determine. Still, with set distances for timed events, and times for set distance events there are usually clear cut goals, with the time to accomplish them being the variable. This resolution encourages running as often as possible, and to train efficiently, without having hard fast “rules.� Rather than focusing on a single, often unobtainable goal, this resolution allows for assessment at the end of the year, just in time to make a new resolution.

Down the Road When The Rains Came Do you like to run in the rain? I have to admit that I never did like it. For weeks, beginning in early October of 2015, South Carolinians didn't have much choice. It rained virtually every day. South Carolina was in a drought when the rains began, when they finally ended weeks later, every county in the state was out of the drought and had a surplus amount of rainfall for the year.

Kathy and I were lucky and suffered no damage. The most rain we got in a day was 2 inches - unlike some places like Charleston and Columbia with a much as 20 inches or so on some days.

If you watched any or saw any newscasts or videos of the problems - like flooding, like washed away roads, buildings, cars and dams you know that when these rains came it was a big deal in South Carolina. Now in November as I write this, runners, walkers and everyone else are dealing with the aftermath. The estimates of damage have been totaled

By Cedric Jaggers

up and come out to around 1.3 billion dollars. About 50 bridges need to be replaced and countless roads and infrastructure repairs are needed.

So the rains didn't just have a minor affect, it was major. But let's look at how these rains affected runners and races. It was of course difficult for runners to get their training done, and when your house has inches or feet of water in it, running is not a high priority in your life. So a lot of folks who would have been running

But the organizers take great care to ensure you have the same quality experience you would at a smaller race. They promoted a site where you could reserve your parking spot for the expo and for race day, for example.

I will say hotels fill up fast - this year there was the marathon (plus half and 5k), a Pacers NBA game and a Colts NFL game.

Another kudos to the race organizers they listened to participants and made a few course changes this year, including moving the start and finish line slightly.

This included straightening out some of the downtown turns early in the race when it is more congested, and dropping a mile 1 water stop that was in one of those congested turns. Water stops are every mile but not at the mile markers, which is great. Water and Gatorade at each stop and consistently water first and in different cups.

Crowd support is good throughout the

race. There are areas with larger crowds than others, especially downtown, but with the exception of a couple of spots where it is hard for spectators to access (along the river), it is pretty consistent that you won't go long without fans. And credit to whoever does this every year there's a lonely stretch from 20-21 that always has a ton of funny signs along side of it. (Chuck Norris never ran a marathon!) I'm always impressed that the residents seem to “get” how to support a marathon Tons of bands, too.

In short - I like this race a lot. It's become a go-to for us; a race we can rely on to offer a great experience in a cool city that's just two hours from our house. I've run seven different marathons and (not counting Boston) this one is truly great. (I still think the St. Jude Memphis Marathon has the best finish setup.)

EAT WELL, RUN WELL

Sports Nutrition Information: Which Websites Can You Trust?

Don’t let nutrition

While the Internet is an amazing resource for sports nutrition information, it is an equally amazing source of confusion. Too many runners spend too much time surfing the web, looking for nutrition advice about what to eat for optimal performance and good health. Because the Internet offers the spectrum from good to bad nutrition information, knowing whom to trust can be a challenge.

To try to identify the top nutrition preachers to athletes, I googled sports nutrition experts. (Of course, I’d hoped that my name would have come up first. Ha!) To my dismay, the first expert listed on the page informed me about how I could create my own brand of sports supplements and sell them to make lots of money. Credible experts came lower on the page. But how are you, a runner, supposed to know who’s who in the nutrition zoo?

To help you find trust-worthy websites for general and sports nutrition information, I have compiled some of my favorite sites. Perhaps you will find them helpful, as well.

General Nutrition Websites For information about day-to-day nutrition questions, Marion Nestle’s site, www.foodpolitics.com, offers daily posts. Dr. Nestle is a New York University nutrition professor with degrees in molecular biology and public health nutrition. She delves into hot topics, such as: Is High Fructose Corn Syrup good, bad or indifferent to health? Are organic foods worth the money? Is red meat good or bad? She offers a balanced, welleducated perspective.

The website for The Center for Science in the Public Interest (www.CSPInet.org) offers “unbiased advice to help you eat healthfully and live longer.” Part of CSPI’s mission is to ensure science and technology are used for the public good (i.e., not to create the tastiest junk food). CSPI has changed how we think about trans fats, soft drinks, fast foods, and marketing food to kids. Among the abundant consumer information, CSPI teaches us how supermarkets get us to buy more junk food (http://cspinet.org/foodshoppingtricks). As a watchdog for the food industry, CSPI gets some criticism for being a bit extreme, but others value their blunt honesty.

Sports Nutrition/Sports Science Websites For sports nutrition information, I recommend www.GSSIweb.org, the website for the Gatorade Sports Science Institute. While you might think that websites funded

by Gatorade would be commercialized and biased towards their products, the Gatorade Sports Science Institute is the non-profit, educational branch of Gatorade. Their mission statement asserts that GSSI is committed to helping athletes optimize their health and performance through research and education regarding not only hydration, but also the effects of nutrition on the human body before, during and after exercise. Articles in their Sports Science Exchange area (http://www.gssiweb.org/en/sports-science-exchange) include a range of topics, such as GI distress, antioxidants, immune status, brain function, and protein, as well as abundant information, of course, regarding all you want to know about hydration.

Other industry-funded sports nutrition sites with trust-worthy information provided by respected nutrition experts include www.powerbar.com/nutrition-in-training. The sections on fueling & hydrating, refueling and recovery, and nutrition science include both written tips as well as short video-clips of interviews with respected researchers who suggest ways to optimize performance via smart fueling practices.

For sports nutrition information presented by a leading exercise physiologist who is not only a researcher but also an Ironman triathlete, look at www.MySportScience.com.

Created by Asker Juekendrup PhD of the Netherlands, the site

be your missing By Nancy Clark, M.S., R.D.

provides an unbiased, objective view of a wide range of sports science topics. The infographics that appear at the top of his blog are highly educational for visual learners. His blog addresses not only nutrition topics (Should you eat protein before going to bed?) but also overlooked information, such as why some athletes respond to sports supplements while others are non-responders. Asker even offers a list of sports nutrition scientists you might want to follow on twitter.

“How-to” Sports Nutrition Websites If you want a bit less scientific information and more “how to” nutrition nuggets, surf on over to the USOC website: http://www.teamusa.org/About-the-USOC/AthleteDevelopment/Sport-Performance/Nutrition/Resources-andFact-Sheets.aspx. You will find an assortment of sports nutrition fact sheets, including a graphic of what an Athlete’s Plate should look like on an easy, moderate, or hard day of exercise.

Other fact sheets will answer your questions about alcohol (Did you know a Pina Colada has 380 calories???), caffeine, and vitamin D, among many other topics. The video clips are filled with nutrition tips, and the recipes encourage you to make your own sports foods. (Homemade sports drink, anyone?)

The Australian Institute of Sport also offers an array of nutrition information at www.ausport.gov.au/ais/nutrition. In their section on Sports Supplements, you will find sports foods and supplement ingredients divided into four groups based on current scientific evidence that determines whether a product is safe, legal and effective in improving sports performance. For example, caffeine, a proven ergogenic aid, is in Group A, while glutamine and HMB are in Group B, suggesting they are deserving of more research. Substances with little meaningful proof of beneficial effects are in Group C, and banned substances are in Group D. My stance on supplements remains solid: Why take them if you have not yet optimized your daily diet? The blog on my website (www.NancyClarkRD.com) can help you do just that: fuel well and win with good food!

Women’s Running Saying Goodbye to 2015 and Entering a New Chapter I must admit that 2015 has been the worst year of my life. I lost my last kitty, then my brother, and finally my precious Steve. I am told that you are never given more than you can handle but I am not real sure of that. This past year has definitely been a trial by fire. I valiantly try to convince myself that others have it much worse but somehow that does not work when your heart is so broken. So I enter 2016 with the attitude that I must go forward and I will learn to deal with all that has happened.

Fortunately for me I am a runner, and running, I am positive, has saved my life this past year. A friend told me that you cannot cry when you run, but that is not true. At least it is not true for me. But managing to get out and run every day has helped me in many ways.

The fresh air and the freedom of being with nature and being able to pound out my frustration and some of my pain has indeed been a lifesaver. As I total my miles near this last day of November, I see this is going to be a record year. I am over 6800 already so I know I will be well over 7000, as I have been for nearly the last decade.

My New Years Resolution yet again this year is to run less. As I have become more age challenged it takes much longer to get in those

miles and I am resolving as I begin my new chapter in life that I will run less. I may decide not to even keep track. I doubt that will happen but who knows? A new chapter must require new directions and new challenges so I will see where 2016 takes me on this journey called life.

I know my new year will get off to a fantastic start as my dear friend Richard Fannin will have me in Jacksonville on the 1st to be hostess to fast runners from all over the country.

Many of you may know Richard and the incredible job he does recruiting the best professional runners to the Gate River Run 15K National Championship each March. Richard

has a passion for running and runners that surpasses anyone in the world!! Earlier this year he must have needed more to do, as he decided to utilize his time to give potential Olympic marathon trials qualifiers one more chance to chase their dream and make the qualifying standard, in the half marathon at the Jacksonville Marathon/Half Marathon on Jan. 3, 2016. He then recruited several pacers who can easily handle the pace to get the sub 1:05 (men) and sub 1:15 (women)before the qualifying window closes Jan. 17, 2016. The project is officially labeled on Facebook as the 2016 Olympic Marathon Trials Project.

A 1:05:00 half is a 4:57 pace. Tyler Pennel will be our official men's pace leader and plans to run 4:55 pace on the nose for 10 miles. This will give the competitors about a 20 second cushion. Then he is cutting loose and it's every dog for himself the last 5k.You could average 5:03 in from there, and Richard fully expects the "peloton" to keep humming !

A 1:15:00 is 5:43 pace on the nose and Brianne Nelson, our official pace leader, plans to run 5:40 pace on the nose which is a comfortable 30 second cushion at 10 miles. Just in case the bear creeps on your back and you have to "straggle in," a 5:53 pace last 3 would still get it. But no one will be straggling !

11

Richard's project has created quite a show as many runners have decided to take advantage of this unique opportunity on the pancake flat course in January in Jacksonville. Gate River Run director Doug Alred (who also directs the half and most Jax races!)has added prize money to the pot for any qualifiers, so we are looking forward to adding to the men and women already qualified. Richard is aiming for 200 female and 200 male qualifiers.

Never doubt the power of Richard Fannin as he is known to go where no running man has ever gone. Many thanks to Richard and his passion and energy and for including me in this phenomenal project.

Then I am off to the Olympic Trials in Los Angeles where I will volunteer for the seventh marathon trials event. Steve will definitely be there in spirit as he has been at every marathon trials since 1992. After that I return to the Gate River Run to host our professional runners.

The new chapter in my life will take me backwards and forward. I suspect that is what this life is all about - beautiful memories and plans for the future. But we live in the present as that is why it is called a gift. I will always have many blessed memories of my life with Steve and his spirit and love will always be with me.

Just give me a big hug when you see me as I enter the new chapter and remember to live each day as if it were your last. One day you will be right! Have a very Happy 2016.

DOWN THE ROAD CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 and racing had to cut way back or cancel their plans.

It might be interesting to see how the rains impacted the races during those 3 weeks: Would you believe it was mainly negative? A lot of races were cancelled, the largest of which was the Isle of Palms Connector duo - a 10K with 557 finishers last year and a 5K with 471 finishers.

That's a lot of lost race participants, but it's hard to run when the roads and lots of the Island are underwater.

Here is an accounting of all the recurring races in the state for which I could get information. I did not list the 3 first time races held during the period. The list shows how many times the race has been held, race name and distance, location and how many fewer or more finishers in 2015 than in 2014.

To save you the trouble of counting, there were a total of 31 races listed above.

ONLY 4 of them had more finishers this year than last. Does the concept of 'Rained Out' take on more meaning? Of course all these races would probably not have had more finishers this year than last if the rains hadn't come, but probably at least half of them would have.

This rain had a real impact on South Carolina, physically as well as psychically - looking at all the damage, I'm glad to say we are (the state of South Carolina) recovering. And things are sure green here since we got all the rain. Come visit us, and pick your race - we have lots of good ones as well of lots of parks and even streets that are not underwater now for you to enjoy.

Masters Running Aim for a Stronger, Faster, Healthier 2016 It's a new year again! Or at least it will be soon when you are reading this. Maybe you have resolutions or specific goals that you want to reach in the New Year, or maybe you just want to stay healthy and injury free. Regardless whether you have resolutions or not, now may be the perfect time to examine how you train, and seek out a few things you can do differently in order to run faster, or at least to keep injuries at bay.

If you want to improve your current race times, it is more likely to happen if you make a few changes. However this may be easier said than done for us masters runners. Many of us have been running for a while, and may have already tried several training programs, sometimes to no avail. We have “been there, done that,” and may be hesitant to try yet another program. What I am going to suggest are not training programs per se, but “secrets” that you can incorporate into your current training. And you may give your race performances and your well being a boost in the process! So, if you aren't already practicing these activities, you may want to give them a try in 2016.

First, make sure you include Recovery Periods in your training. With this I mean not only a day of rest or easy running right after a race, but a few weeks of just easy running at least once or twice a year.

Many of us tend to skimp on this, “forgetting” that it's during recovery that our muscles and cardiovascular system get stronger. A stronger heart and muscles will not only make us run faster, but will also help us stay injury free.

Recovery doesn't mean complete inactivity. But it does mean cutting back on pace and mileage. And maybe also substituting some of our running with alternate activities, like cycling, swimming or yoga.

For example, if you are a marathon runner and put in 20 mile training runs to prepare, take a break and run no longer than 10-12 miles for several weeks. You will not get slower because of this - on the contrary you may get faster! Or maybe your times will stay the same as last year.

If so please don't despair, since your age graded times will get better each year when your actual times stay the same.

Taking recovery periods a few times per year can also give you a mental boost.

Running long every weekend year after year will likely wear you down mentally sooner or later, especially if you run the same route and keep the same schedule

By Lena Hollmann

every week. But taking a few weeks off when you switch to alternate activities (cycling, swimming, weight training, etc.) can bring you back with renewed energy.

If you choose to pump iron in the gym you will see other benefits too! It will make your muscles stronger, which will likely translate into faster race times and fewer injuries. So, including regular Strength Training in your training plan is another change you can incorporate if you haven't already. This is especially important for us masters runners, since losing muscle mass is part of the aging process.

But it doesn't have to be! If we exercise our muscles regularly, we can significantly slow down this process.

If you don't have a gym membership, or don't want to invest in one, many exercises can be done at home with no, or little equipment. Lunges and squats for example are great for strengthening the glutes, quads and hamstrings. Or try a wall sit!

See how long you can sit with your back against the wall but no other support. If you last more than a minute you are doing great! If not, wait a day or two and try again. Each time you will be able to sit a little longer, and you get stronger in the process.

Planks and side planks will strengthen your abs, back and hips, and also your legs and arms to some extent. And while you are on the mat you might as well do a few pushups too, just for good measure.

And there you have a full body workout, all done at home if you want to, with no equipment needed, except maybe a mat.

For best results, perform some strength exercises two or three days a week. You want to stick with this all year round, not just during recovery periods. Although you may want to skip a session or two before important races, so that your muscles are fresh come race time. And don't work out on consecutive days. Your muscles need at least 48 hours to recover from a strength training session. It's for the same reason we don't want to run hard

two days in a row, by the way.

Finally, to stay motivated and make your training more interesting, do something different next year! Run a destination race you haven't done before, or a distance you haven't tried. Run a new race on your vacation. Or if this is what you normally do, take a vacation that involves no running, or at least no races.

There you have it, a toolbox to make you strong, motivated and injury free.

With the possible exception of running in a new race, my suggestions aren't New Year's resolutions per se. They are more like a pledge to have a great year at the races in 2016.

But if you make specific resolutions or goals for 2016 - and want results - you may want to look them over to make sure they are SMART! A SMART goal is Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely. I wrote about SMART goals in detail a few years ago, and the following example is a quick recap.

Instead of making a resolution to “run a faster 5K,” set a goal to run a 5K in a specific time by a specific date, a 25:00 by July 1 for example. If you just want “a faster 5K,” how would you know when you achieved it? If your Personal Best (or best recent time) is 25:01, you will have run “a faster 5K” if you run it in 25:00.

But you were probably aiming for a bigger improvement than this.

By determining a time and a date we make our goal specific, and also measurable. We will know exactly when (or if) we get there. It is also timely because we set a specific deadline when we want our goal accomplished. However, we also have to make sure that our goal time is attainable and realistic. If your best recent

13

time in the 5K is 32 minutes, then a 25:00 5K may not be in your cards. Or at least not within six months. In that case you may want to adjust your goal time to something you could reasonably achieve.

With some effort though!

Yes, with effort. Last but not the least, we want our goals to be Challenging. Why set goals if we don't have to work for them? So, how about replacing the 'A' in SMART with Arduous (a synonym for challenging), since at least when it comes to race times, 'Attainable' and 'Realistic' have very similar meaning.

Now, if your best recent 5K time is 32:00, maybe you want to go for 31:00.

Not 31:50, since that wouldn't be challenging enough. And certainly not 25:00, since then you would set yourself up for failure - or more accurately, it could discourage you from trying.

You see, we can't really fail when it comes to goal setting! If you don't reach your goal time by the date you had determined, then adjust your goal and try again. Your original goal may have been to ambitious, or maybe life got in the way when you were working to achieve it. So set a new date, and you may also need to adjust your goal time. And remember that the key is to keep ourselves challenged and motivated during the New Year, regardless whether or not we make resolutions and set specific goals.

Have a happy and healthy 2016, and good luck at the races!

Running Through the Age Groups Hubby's Big Day in the Outer Banks!

Back in 2013, I ran the Outer Banks Marathon, my first full marathon in over 15 years. I had entered it as part of the 8K/Marathon Challenge that year; this required runners to complete an 8K race on Saturday and full marathon on Sunday. I mention this because on Saturday they also held the Buccaneer 5K, for which finisher's medals were awarded. Because 5K finisher's medals are pretty rare, my husband, Rob, claimed he wished he had known they had them as he would have run that 5K! Well, that surprised me, since Rob has always maintained that, “If you see me running, call the police because I'm being chased!”

Needless to say, I filed his proclamation into the “keep this because it may be useful someday” part of my brain.

Fast forward to Outer Banks 2015, which took place the first weekend in November and for which I had been training as my peak fall race this year. I decided some time ago to compete in the 8K/Half Marathon Challenge because I learned a tough lesson about trying to train for a fall marathon in southeastern North Carolina heat. This would provide a great vehicle for a strong half marathon time going into the winter base training

season. I had enjoyed the 8K in 2013, primarily because of its surprisingly hilly and difficult course through the picturesque Nags Head Woods. Well, as you might imagine, I had not forgotten Rob's promise regarding the 5K, so - unbeknownst to him - I registered him for the race.

We traveled up on Friday and stopped by the expo for our packets before checking into our quaint little motel. I had let Rob know about his race about a week beforehand - I figured this would give him too little time to dream up any excuse not to run. To my delight Rob seemed to be getting quite excited! He was really impressed with all the swag I got for entering the Challenge and questioned why he wasn't getting just as much; what a hoot!

We turned in early after a quiet in-room dinner, and the morning of the big day was upon us before we knew it.

With plenty of time between the races, I would be able to accompany Rob during his race. My 8K race had an early start time of 7:30, for which I was quite thankful considering the sur prisingly hot, humid conditions.

The humidity made for an uncomfortable race but I did finish Rob relaxing at the motel and proudly displaying the fruits of his efforts!

heat, he could have run more and finished about ten minutes faster, which I don't doubt; it felt more like August than November that day! From Rob's postrace report, I can tell I've created a little monster here!

We left shortly after the 5K finish so we could recuperate from the heat and I could rest up for the half marathon. We had a nice dinner at a local windmillpowered brewery and turned in early.

Next morning, I awoke to, thankfully, much cooler and more November-like temperatures. It was actually quite windy and raw, even at 7:00 when the race was scheduled to start. Thankfully, I had no trouble convincing Rob to stay at the motel, as he would have been miserable standing around awaiting my finish.

When the race started, I could tell I was tired from the previous day's efforts, which totaled almost ten miles and a lot more “on my feet” time than I usually have the day before a big race. The unexpected heat had also taken a lot out of me, and I had a nagging soreness in my right heel. Considering I was not feeling my game that morning, I was quite happy with my 1:42:50 finishing time, good for an age group win and a second overall female finish in the 8K/Half Marathon Challenge! The post-race party was a lot of fun and had great beer, but I about froze to death in the increasing raw winds.

After I returned to the motel and thawed out, we were just about as worthless as two people could be! After that day of rest, we stayed a few additional days, played tourist, and just chilled out while enjoying one of the most beautiful parts of our state. It was a wonderful weekend and experience altogether, and I am especially happy and proud of my sweet hubby! I will forever be in the race director's debt for offering finisher medals for that 5K. It made a real difference for Rob as I'm sure it did for many who chose to run and thereby embark on a healthier lifestyle. There's just something so special about that little bit of earned “bling” that often gets us started and keeps us hungering for more.

If you have a spouse, other family member or friend who is basically healthy but considers us runners to be nuts, see if you can find a 5K that offers finisher medals; I can almost guarantee that if you can get that person to the starting line, they'll see many more in their future. This can make a real difference in the health and well-being of our loved ones and, most importantly, they'll stop thinking we're nuts! 'Til next time, happy running, and have fun out there!

respectably and fast enough to snag third place overall among the women. Rob's race was scheduled for 9:30. This allowed me plenty of time to recover and collect my award, but it also allowed the temperature to soar. By the time we started, the sun had cooked off the cloud cover that had been a godsend for the 8K runners.

Because Rob had had no training whatsoever, and because he had had prior knee surgery which necessitated a conservative run, we started in the back third of the pack. The race had a surprising number of runners so it took us about a minute to reach the starting line. I could tell that Rob, who had gotten rather worked up about his impending endeavor, had become more relaxed because of the pedestrian start pace. As we exited the track facility where the race started and finished, we traversed about a half mile of dirt and gravel roads before coming to the next mile or so, which consisted of flat, paved roads with no shade. Rob was having some trouble with the heat, so he walked quite a bit of this part of the course. I did not want to push him, knowing that he was untrained and, after all, 64 years of age. I did notice, however, that he never seemed winded, and that he seemed to have an easier time with the running than the walking. I also noticed that his running form was quite smooth and natural. This almost made me jealous!

The middle part of the course was over a nice, shaded stretch of gravel road in the Nags Head Woods. It was not as hilly as the 8K, and the shade provided a wonderful break from the heat; as a result, Rob was able to do much more running.

After a brief break close to the two-mile point, he took off so fast that I had trouble catching him! He wisely took water at all aid stations, and we both really enjoyed the course entertainment provided by a lone bagpiper who was, appropriately, belting out Amazing Grace when we had about a half mile to go.

Before we knew it, we were back on the track for a roaring finish! Seeing my sweet hubby collect his well-earned medal after crossing the finish was priceless. Our time was about 50:00, which would seem slow by most runners' standards but considering his lack of training and the fact that he came in ahead of about 100 people, I think Rob did really well and am so proud of him! He even Mary Margaret can be reached at stated later that had it not been for the mmmceachern@bellsouth.net

This Running Life In Middle of Misery, a Streaker Provides Inspiration So here I sit at my kitchen table, writing on a beautiful Friday afternoon in early December.

The sky is brilliant blue, and the warm sunbeams cutting through a faint chill is proof that autumn is not quite ready to give way to Old Man Winter, even though Christmas is only a few weeks away.

Even the leaves on the Bradford Pear trees in my front yard are still yellow and red and hanging on to their branches for dear life. They'll be on the ground by the end of the month, and my New Year's resolutions will include raking the yard.

On this day, I should be in a car, heading north to Rehoboth Beach in Delaware to run the half marathon I signed up for nearly a year ago. I'm usually cautious about registering for races that far out, but the popular Rehoboth Beach Marathon sells out each year; the early bird price was criminally affordable (i.e. a “steal”), and I had a number of friends going.

For an entire year, I had followed the race on Facebook, read all of the emails, and tasted all the waves of excitement runners experience as they build up momentum for the big day.

By Teri Saylor

Then I got sick.

The first sign came during the five-mile turkey trot on Thanksgiving Day that was particularly difficult to complete. I nearly bailed out after just three miles, but powered along and finished it anyway. My appetite abandoned me, and a day later the telltale sore throat crept in.

No amount of over-the-counter pain relief, Nyquil-induced long nights of sleep, or an entire bag of mini-oranges helped.

Two days before the race, I had turned the corner but not enough to run 13.2 miles. So I surrendered, unfollowed the marathon's Facebook page and deleted the race emails so I would not have to read

about how much fun everyone else was having.

Now, here I sit, sniffling and typing this sad story.

You go through all kinds of emotions when you cancel a race. It took several days of agonizing and going back and forth in my mind, as if this were a life and death decision before I gave in and pulled the plug.

My inner loser was raging until I looked at a message posted on the North Carolina Roadrunners Facebook site congratulating Barbara Latta of Raleigh on her 32nd Streakaversery.

I have written about Barbara on these pages -and others - before.

At 74, she holds the official women's record for the longest running streak in the United States, according to the United States Running Streak Association. Some people maintain she holds the longest streak among women over the entire world, even though records have not been kept very long, and there are only 35 runners on the international list.

It doesn't matter. She is a hero among

the mere mortals who try to keep up with her.

Barbara started running at least two or three miles a day on December 5, 1983 and on this anniversary, marked 11,688 days she has gone out for run without skipping a single day.

As I pondered my decision to skip the Rehoboth Beach race and felt sorry for myself, I thought “What would Barbara do?”

She would blow her nose and clear her throat.

She would get off the couch, lace up her shoes and go for a little run, just enough to keep her streak alive.

So on December 5, in honor of Barbara's Streakaversery I'm going to do just that.

There's a nice little 5K Jingle Bell Race in Raleigh that day, and Barbara is registered to run it.

I think I'll go out and join her.

Distance Memories Peachtree City 50K Will Be Missed It started almost as a joke. 'Paula's Big Butt 50K' we called it, the perfect way to celebrate the milestone birthday of Paula May, one of the original six members of the Darkside Running Club. It would also be the long overdue first ultramarathon -informal as it was -- ever held in Peachtree City, Georgia, a running community interconnected by over 90 miles of runnable asphalt golf cart paths.

The year was 2002 and the race was held on the second Sunday in November, my way of honoring the former Vulcan Marathon (Birmingham, Alabama), a race I loved running and really hated to see go by the wayside. (While I'm on the subject: RIP Atlanta, Tybee Island and Macon Marathons.) Robert Youngren and Kelly Murzynsky were the men's and women's champions that inaugural year. It wasn't long before the Peachtree City 50K became an established and legitimate addition to the ultramarathon calendar in the southeast.

One short year later (2003) the Peachtree City 50K hosted the USATF Georgia Ultra Marathon Championship, then transitioned to hosting the USATF National 50K Road Championship the following year. Mike Dudley won in 2004 and posted the fastest 50K time (3:05:34) of the year.

To celebrate our 10th anniversary, former Olympian Zola Budd Pieterse competed, setting a women's course record in the accompanying 25K (a distance added to the event in 2007).

The Peachtree City 50K (and 25K) has always offered a great value for a modest price. A beautiful course, enthusiastic volunteers and a great group of runners has always been the norm. This, our 14th year was no exception. Sophomore Race Director Heather Shoemaker (she took over for me in 2014) put on a wonderful event despite the most inclement weather in the history of the race: Steady rain, 50degree temperatures and gusting wind.

Yet the runners and the volunteers turned out in force and made, as the saying goes, lemonade out of lemons.

That's why it saddens me that this latest edition of the race will be its last. For reasons that have baffled me since the inception of the race, the Peachtree City 50K never established itself as a 'force to be reckoned with' on the ultramarathoning

running calendar. I do know part of that can be attributed to newly established marathons (Columbus and Savannah) muscling in on the second weekend in November. One positive impact of these 'infringing' races has been our race has had its fair share of runners doing a 'double' in recent years, running a marathon on Saturday and our 50K on Sunday.

However even in our most affluent years the total number of runners in both events rarely totaled much more than 100.

This year there were even less: Fiftytwo official finishers; 30 in the 50K and 22 in the 25K. It never made sense to me why a runner would be willing to pay an entry fee upwards of three times as much to run elsewhere; certainly the amenities couldn't be that much better than what we had to offer. And I sincerely doubt the personal attention the runners received from the volunteers at those aforementioned 'big ticket' races could match what our event had to offer. I guess it boiled down to deciding between a small, intimate race offering the best (friendship, camaraderie, encouragement) of what running has to offer or a much larger event that 'all the cool kids are doing.' To those who have opted for the latter these last dozen or so years I have this to say to you: I'm sorry, but you simply missed out.

And now you'll never know what you were missing.

I knew going into this year's event that Heather did not want to continue being race director. She grew a bit discouraged at how few runners signed up despite her diligent efforts to promote the event through various forums and outlets and doing whatever she could to take it to the next level. I know exactly how she felt; in fact, it's one of the main reasons I opted out of directing the race two years ago and was willing to let the race die a peaceful

death. But as every runner knows, saying 'never again' usually means 'give it time, because in all probability there will be a next year.'

But this year was different. I knew the exact moment when 'never again' was never more definitive. It was 6 a.m. race morning. It was pitch black, pouring rain and there was a damp coolness in the air that chilled me to the bone. I was dropping off the water coolers and tables for the mid-course aid station (affectionately known as 'Ice Station Zebra'), standing in three inches of mud and using a handheld flashlight to see what I was doing. My work wasn't finished after setting up the tables; I then had to stand up the porta potty someone had knocked over during the night. Meanwhile the rain continued to fall and the wind continued to blow (neither of which would stop nor even slow down during the course of the day).

Throw in a bad case of the flu for good measure and you have a pretty good idea of how I was feeling. It was at that exact moment I knew there was no hope of me believing that next year would be the year that the Peachtree City 50K would become a force to be reckoned with.

But there is still this: The Darkside Running Club hosts several other events throughout the year offering the same intimacy, attention and fun as the Peachtree

17

City 50K. However you'll no longer have the opportunity to compete on (arguably) the most recognizable 5.18-mile loop in the country in a race that began 13 years ago, almost as a joke.

While I am saddened the race will not go on, I'm proud of the accomplishments and perseverance of the runners (many ran their first ultramarathon in Peachtree City), the contributions and dedication of the volunteers and the impact the race had on the running community in its brief stay‌not to mention the credibility it brought to Peachtree City as a viable ultra running community.

For the many of you who played a part in the history of the Peachtree City 50K: Thank you.

Be sure to tell the others what they missed.

ed in 26.2 miles. There were two foot bridges, one on each end of the loop where we crossed the river each time, a gazebo, and an historic windmill. With a 6:30 a.m. start it was quite dark when I arrived to pick up my packet and start the warm up. After training in hot, humid Florida all summer, I felt ready for any race day weather conditions. The field of 238 (they cap it at 300) was blessed with 50 degrees and overcast skies. We literally could not have asked for better weather. During the race I overheard some runners talking about the horrible heat wave they had there the weekend prior.

Sometimes luck and Mother Nature are on your side.

Before the race I was so focused on the eight loops but once the race started I focused on one mile at a time. I had written out a race plan for myself the night before with paces for miles 1-6, 7-13, 1420, and then what I would need to do from

pace as closely as I could and sticking to my race plan. I had a lot of internal dialogue going on -- more than I can ever recall during a race, but it worked. When I hit mile 20 I was almost perfectly on pace with my race plan and felt great. I was able to race the last 6.2 miles rather than just survive it.

I don't think I have ever smiled as much during a marathon as I did that day. The race atmosphere was so incredible with the course lined with replica signs of all the towns from Hopkinton to Boston. You almost felt like you were in Boston! The announcer would yell out your name each time you finished a loop and crossed the mat, music was blaring, and each participant had the option to use the elite drink tables where you placed your own bottles (that ended up being one of my favorite parts!). The joy I felt that day was unique.

It was as if I had discovered a new way to run the marathon and really enjoy it, thanks to the elite feel of the race, great weather, and mostly the successful execution of my race plan which allowed me to finish so much stronger than I ever have before.

The long road to this Last Chance Marathon has become a new beginning in Rae Ann is all smiles during the Last Chance BQ.2 how I prepare for and run the marathon.

I struggled at times when I wanted Space Coast Marathon.

When the morning countdown began for Taylor to take the first step of her first 100-mile journey, she embraced a positive mindset, and felt prepared. That does not mean however, that she did not encounter a couple of potential challenges along the way.

“The toughest part came early for me, during the initial beach stretch (miles 1327.5). I missed my crew at one of the designated stops and ran low on fluids.

Rather than perseverate over the challenge, I focused on being patient, knowing those miles would soon enough come to an end,” Taylor shared.

She also had some modifications with her crew shortly before the event. Taylor said that a last minute crew change, “might have caused stress, but honestly everything worked out perfectly.” Her crew vehicle consisted of her childhood

friend, Amelia, her running friend, Dave, and an accomplished ultra marathoner, Michele.

“The crew deserves so much recognition for their tireless energy and positivity all day long,” Taylor said, explaining that they helped her spend the better part of a full day doing something she tremendously loves - running, while discovering that the 100-mile distance can actually be a lot of “fun.”

“Crossing the finish line second overall, and first female felt like realizing you've only got a couple more bites of this delicious meal you've been enjoying so much. I almost didn't want it to end,” Taylor said.

When the 100-mile journey did end for Taylor, the mother, education consultant, and cycling instructor, who enjoys volunteering for local charities, and playing on

Last Chance to Qualify, a New Beginning The September 2015 Last Chance BQ.2 Chicagoland Marathon was an experience like no other. It truly was my last chance to qualify for the 2016 Boston Marathon so the name of the race really hit home. It is a small race that I had never heard of … until I needed to qualify for Boston. The race took place on the Saturday before registration opened for the 2016 Boston Marathon. I read the race website and race reviews many times trying to get an idea of what to expect; the descriptions did not do it justice.

The whole purpose of the race is to help runners get into the Boston Marathon, not just qualify, but actually run fast enough to make the cut-off to get in. Each pace group had a goal that was approximately three minutes under the BQ time. I did not use a pace group, but I did see them out there and they did an amazing job. Not only did they have pacers for each BQ group but they had multiple pacers for some groups so the pacers could switch off and make sure the group continued to hit the target time. I heard them alerting runners to dips in the pavement, other obstacles, and letting them know when they were approaching a water stop.

The course was a scenic loop on a paved path along the river in Fabyan Forest Preserve in Geneva, Illinois. The start and finish lines were in slightly different spots so that the eight loops result-

HE SAID, SHE SAID CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 “The idea of running all the way from Jacksonville to Daytona along the coast really appealed to me for a first 100miler, especially because parts of the course are on my regular running route,” Taylor said.

Taylor was injured throughout most of the summer leading to the ultra. Her training therefore meant listening to her body while she rebuilt mileage. Once the miles felt painless, she was eager to begin running as much as possible, but really had to discipline herself to “play it safe and remain healthy.” Her longest run prior to the Daytona 100 was a 50-mile training run she completed at the 12-Hour Tick Tock Ultra in late September.

the beach (when she is not running on it) soon began thinking about which adventures lie ahead. Among those, will likely be at least two more 100-mile races so that she can qualify for Badwater in 2017.

She also wants to run the 100-mile distance even faster.

“Running is a gift,” Taylor said. “For all kinds of reasons, not everyone can do it as often as they want, or at all. When you set out to do a run of any distance, remember how fortunate you are to have the opportunity. Gratitude is powerful.”

SOUTHEASTERN ROAD RACE RESULTS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14

has a race for everyone including kids, walkers, beginner runners to elite runners and those that like a challenge!

The Spa 10K, in its 34th year, continues to be the featured race as part of the Arkansas Grand Prix Racing Series and runners like the challenge running 2 miles over West Mountain. It has become one of the premier 10K races in the Arkansas because the course takes you through a National Park and it always so beautiful in November with the fall foliage. Cindy Baswell, Race Director, reported that they have two local runners, David Samuel and Dick Gladden that have run all 34 races of the Spa 10K! And, the Spa 10K was featured in Runner’s World Magazine Race and Place Section of the November 2015 edition and has been listed as one of the 10 ten races held in a National Park.

The 5K is for both walkers and runners and the Squirt Race is for kids 2 - 10 years of age!

Baswell said the inaugural Summit? Challenge Half Marathon was a big success. We capped it at 250 runners when we initially started planning the event and it was a sellout before race day! We were excited that it sold out for the inaugural year because the course is unique and challenging.

The runners follow the 10K course going over West Mountain and continue on the mountain going to the Summit not once but twice so that’s how the race got the name Summit? Challenge.

Baswell stated she has received several emails from runners commenting about the race and how they all loved it, enough though it was a challenging course and will be back next year. The winner of the Summit? Challenge was Kevin Golden, age 49 of Maumelle, AR with a phenomenal time of 1:28:31. Baswell stated “we had runners from Texas, Tennessee, Louisiana, Oklahoma and representations from 16 other states so we are excited that we touched that many states and runners got to see our beautiful city and enjoy the weekend visiting our historic downtown, the thermal hot springs water and the legendary bathhouse row!

Proceeds from the Spa Running Festival will go to our benefactors Teen Challenge of Arkansas, Friends of the Park and Spa Pacers Running Club for high school scholarships. Also, the race partnered with Project Hope Food Bank to “run out hunger” in their community by collecting over 400 pounds of non-perishable food items on race day!

What a difference this can make in our community helping families in need during the holiday season.

Baswell invited all runners to come to the Spa Running Festival next year …. the date has been set for November 19, 2016 and our website is www.sparunningfestival.com.

Chickamauga Battlefield Marathon/Half marathon Fort Oglethorpe, GA – 11/14 A total of 1,316 runners gathered at Barnhardt Circle in Fort Oglethorpe, GA, on Saturday, Nov. 14 for the 36th Annual Chickamauga Battlefield Marathon. Conditions were ideal for a 26.2-mile race through one of the most scenic and popular running spots in the Chattanooga, TN/North Georgia area. The Chickamauga Battlefield Marathon is a favorite for regional runners and attracts runners from across the country. The event hosted runners from 37 states and the marathon distance was the Road Runners Club of America Georgia State Championship.

Civil War history buffs appreciated the cannon start, monuments and other memorial markers along the course. Participants enjoyed the post-

race soups and banana pudding that have become a tradition for this fall event.

Jon Hager was the overall winner in the marathon with a time of 2:40:22, while former University of Tennessee and Chattanooga cross country and track standout Kathleen Turchin was the women’s winner in 3:06:27, which was 13th overall.

Running Journal • January, 2016

Running Fitness Holiday Foods and a Plant-based Diet Starting with the day before Thanksgiving, the phone rang with a request from a Tampa TV station to do a story about what to make for vegans who come for dinner. I had come back 12 hours before from speaking at the Miami Seed Food and Wine Festival, their VegFest. It was a bad hair day, but I clipped it back, remembered that from 18 years in TV news, nobody remembers what you look like in a potent 10 second interview, and within an hour the crew was there.

Most weight gain, studies show, happens during the holidays. But you can stuff your face, not stuff a turkey that had to die for stuffing and eat to your healthy heart's content.

To my surprise, the story that aired at different times on two different newscasts were long and full of multiple sound bites.

No money in broccoli, but I definitely see signs that the interest in getting off animal agriculture is snowballing. The recent United Nations Climate Change

By Ellen Jaffe Jones

Conference is the umpteenth time the world has tried to figure out how to address the growing body of scientific evidence that climate change is humancaused. An even larger snowballing movement is trying to get the world to sign on to what the United Nations has said for almost a decade: giving up animal agriculture will do more to reduce greenhouse gasses than giving up driving altogether.

As a result, vegetarian, vegan or not, the interest in trying to reduce depend-

www.running.net ence on meat for protein is almost overwhelming. On Thanksgiving Day, I had the great pleasure of beginning the morning prepping a quinoa veggie stir-fry and then driving an hour to Tampa to a vegan potluck dinner where more than 260 others brought beautiful main courses, sides and desserts. One of my friends made 15 chocolate pies. Although I had been asked to give a short talk on my work, I jumped at the opportunity to serve vegan faux meats or meat analogues, as they are called. I had the extreme pleasure of volunteering to serve people for the very first time an alternative to turkey. One of the greatest paychecks of all time was watching their delight as they came through the line realizing that this deliciously prepared fake meat could actually work for them. We served three varieties: Gardein chicken scaloppini, Field Roast and Tofurkey. The latter two were stuffed. All of these companies donated huge amounts to the Tampa event, which was the 10th year at the Unitarian church.

My closest animal rights and environmental friends, who are national speakers and authors, are often very impatient with programs like “Meatless Mondays.” They say it encourages people to believe one day a week is fine to dump animals, but the rest of the week it's OK. Over the weekend, organizers in local chapters of Direct Action Everywhere staged peaceful protests at Whole Foods around the country protesting recent investigations which found that animals kept at supposedly “humane raised” farms were no different than the gruesome conditions

found at conventional farms. As a former consumer reporter, I can say that charging more for humanely raised animals may be problematic if the conditions are not as advertised. Even at “humane farms,” beaks are trimmed without anesthesia so that the animals don't peck themselves to death. These videos are so prolific on social media that mainstream consumers are reconnecting and reassessing food choices.

Not long after my book, “Paleo Vegan” came out, National Geographic last year had a cover story, “The Real Paleo Diet,” and practically quoting out of my book in a dozen places said, “The world can't sustain a diet based on meat and dairy.” For athletes, getting enough protein is easy on a vegan diet. Even though I placed first in my age group last year in Florida in the 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1500 meters, I don't view myself as a great runner. I started competing to show that you can do fine “just” on plants.

If you put on a few extra holiday pounds, know that a plant-based vegan diet can get you results. You can easily lose or gain weight on it. And everything in between. More importantly, you can sleep at night knowing that even indirectly you are doing something to help the planet. As I am fond of saying, along with longtime activist “Mad Cowbody” Howard Lyman in the spectacular movie “Cowspiracy,” “Don't even begin to call yourself an environmentalist if you aren't vegan.”

All Smiles at Turkey Trot in Knoxville

By Dave Alderman The seventh annual Turkey Trot 5k/10k/Fun Run sold out once again as more than 3000 runners started and finished the race. Proceeds from the family-oriented race benefit A Hand Up for Women and participants are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food for Sister Martha's Food Pantry.

Kevin Stone claimed an impressive victory in the 10k race as the Atlanta, GA, runner crossed the finish line in 35:30. He was followed across the finish line by Hayden Baker (36:17) and Mason Lin (37:01). Joseph Hicks clocked 39:51 to win the masters division.

The runners started at the west end of Parkside Drive before making their way into the heart of the Turkey Creek shopping complex. Stone kept pace with a pack of 5k runners and found himself in first place by the half-way point of the doubleloop course.

Stone, an attorney and 2008 graduate of Belmont University in Nashville where he ran cross country and track, had company as his wife and in-laws also ran the 10k.

“Great race. The course was good. It was flat and out and back”, said Stone. “I ran with some guys who did the 5k. I ran 17:30 for the 5k with three other guys and once they bibbed off, I was the lead from 5k to the end and I was just trying to maintain that pace. The bikers were clearing the way, so I just hung on to them.”

In the women's 10k competition, Knoxville runners took the top two spots as Gina Rouse (37:09) cruised to a win over former Lady Vol Kelsey Kane (42:07). Katie Klapproth from Mason, OH, finished third with a time of 42:19 while Laura Howell (43:36) won masters.

Knoxville runners dominated the 5k race as they claimed the top three spots. Andrew Ogle averaged a 5:09 per mile pace to win easily in 16:02. Second was Greg Rader in 16:24 with Ian Hodge (16:57) finishing in third place. Aaron Clark from Maryville took the masters division with a time of 19:02.

In women's 5k competition, Jamie Bookwalter (19:12) outkicked Knoxville's Callie Tucker (19:26) and Madison McCollum (19:53) for the win. First place in the masters division went to Teresa Laggis (22:07).

For Bookwalter, last year's winner of the 10k and a professional cyclist from Asheville, NC, the race was a milestone in her recovery from a knee injury.

“I didn't ride my bike or run for six months”, said Bookwalter, “but I was able to train some this last month. Today was the first time I've run longer than 10 minutes in months”.

Asked why the race continues to sell out early every year, race director Shahin Hadian commented, “What really draws people to this race is it is like a family vacation. They get together over here, it's Thanksgiving morning, they do something for the community. And they are also having fun together. They're taking pictures. Kids are here, grandparents are here. We have families

from Arizona, Ohio, Louisiana, California, Colorado, and even Japan. It has a little bit for everybody, fast course and lots of fun.”
