THE RRCA’s TIPS FOR RUNNING SAFELY 1. DON’T WEAR HEADSETS. Use your ears to be aware of your surroundings.

Using headphones, you lose the use of an important sense: your hearing.

2. Always stay alert and aware of what’s going on around you.

The more aware you are, the less vulnerable you are.

3. Carry a cell phone or change for a phone call. Know the locations of call boxes and telephones along your regular route.

4. Trust your intuition about a person or an area. React on your intuition and avoid a person or situation if you’re unsure. If something tells you a situation is not “right”, it isn’t.

5. Alter or vary your running route pattern; run in familiar areas if possible. In unfamiliar areas, such as while traveling, contact a local RRCA club or running store. Know where open businesses or stores are located.

6. Run with a partner. Run with a dog.

7. Write down or leave word of the direction of your run.

Tell friends and family of your favorite running routes.

11. Run against traffic so you can observe approaching automobiles.

12. Wear reflective material if you must run before dawn or after dark.

13. Practice memorizing license tags or identifying characteristics of strangers.

14. Carry a noisemaker and/or OC (pepper) spray. Get training in self-defense and the use of pepper spray.

This Running Life For Running Fun, Look to Your Run Club Running is often considered a solitary sport – but it’s really not.

Sure, it’s nice to grab an iPod and earbuds, run out the door and escape from the world.

Early in my running life, I listened to the entire collection of Harry Potter audio books while running along local greenways and through parks. Enthralled with the young wizard’s adventures, I’d start running with Harry and would not want to stop. It took about a year to get through all of the books, but I can say with confidence that young Harry Potter singlehandedly helped me increase my mileage.

When I’m not in the mood for a book, it’s fun to get my heart pumping along to the beat of my favorite tunes. And sometimes it’s nice to run along a quiet trail, lost in my own thoughts with a soundtrack of forest sounds in the background.

But at the end of the day, nothing can beat running with friends. Whether you’re sweating it out on the hottest of hot days in August or freezing your buns off on a frosty morning run in mid-January, nothing forges a special bond more than

By Teri Saylor

knowing what your fellow runners are going through.

When those friendships converge on race day, the bonds grow even stronger.

Friendships like that happen when you are a member of a running club, like the North Carolina Roadrunners Club.

Founded in 1979, the 37-year-old NCRC is the oldest running club in North Carolina. Several of its founders and early leaders are still going strong, enjoying the bonds they formed in their younger days, even though a few are now walking instead of running.

Club members recently gathered for a quarterly meeting in a meeting room in

the basement of a local running store to recognize fellow runners who had covered at least 1,000 miles in 2015.

Twenty-six humans and one dog showed up to collect their 1,000-Mile Club plaques and tee shirts, and for the pup a bag of treats.

Dave Cockman, of Cary, N.C., who ran more than 600 miles across North Carolina last spring, was the top mileage maker, with 2,500 running miles logged in a single year. Barbara Latta, who holds the women’s running streak record, at just over 32 years, finished the year with 1,144 miles.

Few people I know are as enthusiastic over their friendships borne out of running like NCRC’s new president, Rebecca Sitton, who ran 1,536 miles last year.

Presiding over the gathering, Rebecca surveyed the standing-room only crowd who reminded her of the great running events, the talented runners, and the history gathered within four walls.

“All of our running experiences are best shared with our friends,” she said.

Later, in an email, she explained why she considers the running club as part of her family.

“I have never felt judged in the running community,” she wrote. “It has never mattered if I ran fast or slow, walked, or jogged, I’ve always been able to find someone to encourage me, and like family, they are always happy to see me and spend time with me.”

Rebecca came to the NCRC six years ago through the club’s Women’s Beginner Running Program.

“A co-worker talked me into going with her to one of the training runs,” she wrote.

“When I got there, I met women of all shapes, sizes and speeds. They were all excited to be together and moving.”

Rebecca, who felt self-conscious, didn’t return after that first run, but she never stopped thinking about the group.

“After losing a little weight, I wanted to find that group of people,” she said. “I looked up the club’s website and found they were having a Thursday night social series. I went, and met friendly people that made me feel included.”

And now she is NCRC’s president and a member of the 1,000 mile club.

In both my personal and professional lives, I try to abide by the following rules: 1) Carefully choose with whom I talk about religion and food.

2) Teach, but don’t preach nutrition and fitness.

I have learned, for example, that preaching against The Biggest Loser (because it is abusive) or in favor of milk (because it is rich in nutrients), results in a bombardment of negative emails written by zealous opponents.

With this article, I am deviating a bit from my standard offering of sports nutrition information, and instead I am sharing some food for thought about nutrition and fitness as an emerging religion. That is— • Do you have friends who have declared that sugar is evil?

• Have you noticed that running can seem akin to a new religion?

• Instead of attending church, do you choose to do a Sunday long runs with a congregation of fellow athletes?

When we think about something religion-based, we envision a community of people who worship common beliefs.

Sometimes this community gathers in a church; other times, it meets at a running store. Among athletes who describe themselves as “religion drop outs,” some create their new “church” at the charity road race with their running buddies, or at a bike-a-thon for which they have raised money for a worthy cause. For these athletes, their exercise program offers more than just a workout; it offers community, purpose, meaning and charitable giving.

Some runners religiously partner their fitness program with nutrition. They fervently believe in quinoa and kale. They may also preach that refined white sugar is the devil in disguise, gluten is evil, and drinking soda is sinful. I have heard runners praise the glories of Paleo diets, condemn McDonalds, and confess they sinned by eating cake. Inevitably, their personal food beliefs defined the one correct way to eat. (Have you seen them roll their eyes if your food choices do not align with their views?)

Lost in the Wilderness?

Thanks to the Internet, we are overloaded with too much nutrition and fitness information. This can easily make a person feel out of control, unguided, and lost in the wilderness. Yet, from the abun-

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

dance of information, each of us forms opinions and creates a belief-system surrounding food and exercise. These beliefs nourish us with a sense of comfort and control in a chaotic world.

Nourishing your soul Despite the plethora of nutrition and exercise beliefs/ religions, the common goal is to nourish your soul by being fit, healthy, and able to perform at your best.

Common denominators that lead to that goal include: • Balancing food intake with your energy expenditure.

• Eating a variety of “real” foods. The less processed, the more wholesome goodness.

• Creating a health-promoting food & exercise program that you are willing to maintain for the rest of your life.

No one diet or exercise program suits everyone; we are diverse and unique products of nature. We have differing physiological (and psychological) needs. For example, avoiding peanuts may be essential for some runners, but you might be able to enjoy peanut butter every day.

Dairy is not intolerable for every active person, nor is gluten evil unless you have celiac disease or gluten intolerance. There is no such thing as a good or bad food (but there is a bad diet.)

Regarding weight management, just as there are different reasons why some runners gain weight (under-exercising, overproducing insulin, stress-eating, needing meds that trigger hunger, etc.), there are differing tools to manage weight (storing food out of sight, cooking at home more often than eating take-out grub, cutting portions in half, knocking off alcohol, etc.). We need to respect diversity of: – body shapes and sizes, and not shame teammates for having excess body fat.

–weight loss diets, and not fight over

the virtues of carbohydrates vs. ketosis.

Balance and Moderation Nutrition and exercise philosophies need not have a religious fervor, but rather embrace variety, balance, and moderation.

Your food and exercise program should help you feel good from the inside out.

You want to consistently make choices that you enjoy and are able to sustain (and not just eat quinoa because you “think you should”). Meals can include pleasurable foods – preferably yummy-healthy foods (such as nuts, guacamole) that offer the energy you need to live an active, productive life. You want to treat your body with gratitude for all that it does for you. You should not be running as your punishment for being “too fat.”

A defined diet and exercise program can help you feel safe and protected, particularly when you share the philosophies with a bigger community (your “church”). Rather than roll your eyes when your running buddy decides, for example, to eat a vegan diet, open your mind, listen to the pros and cons, consider what may or may not work for you, and choose meals that suit your needs. I have many clients who have evolved to be semi-vegetarian, Paleo-enough, or mostly clean eaters. Their food plan lacks a fervent religious overtone, but never-the-less leads to health, optimal performance, and a nourished soul.

Amen My suggestion to runners who are righteous about nutrition: lighten up and allow for freedom of religion! Live and let live. There are many paths to reaching our shared goal of being fit and healthy (as well as taking care of the planet by eating sustainably). Dessert and rest days can even be a part of your religion. They are a part of mine!

He Said, She Said Who Was That Doggone Runner?

The Overall Female Winner of the inaugural January 16 Trackless Train Trek Half Marathon in Elkmont, Alabama had participants, spectators, volunteers and crew asking, “Who’s that doggone runner?”

Maybe they were curious because the leading female sprinted to the finish in an impressive time of 1:32:56, placing 7th overall. Maybe they were further intrigued when they found out she was a bibless, unregistered runner. Learning that she was only two and a half years old must have certainly raised some eyebrows as well.

Ludivine was her name, and successfully completing her first half marathon quickly propelled her to running fame, but what was her story? What was she doing at the starting line? How did she enter the race, and exactly who was she – who was that doggone runner?

He (Coach Barry Pugh) Said…

According to Elkmont High School’s XC coach, Barry Pugh, Ludivine is a runner

who displayed the “unique ability to make others smile and [give] the little nudge they need to get out and run free, expecting nothing, but gaining it all during the effort!”

Ludivine is also Elkmont resident April Hamlin’s hound dog. Hamlin let Ludivine out for a brief bathroom break the morning of the half marathon. Ludivine decided to wander down to the starting line of the race and took off with the leading runners at the sound of go. Sixth place finisher Tim Horvath advised volunteers to get water for Ludivine as she crossed the fin-

www.running.net ish, confirming that she had indeed run the entire race!

“She learned a lot discipline through keeping the course for 13.1 miles while undoubtedly having many distractions [like] animals and roadkill on the trail, but she stayed the course and finished strong.

She learned to be patient and to accept the praise at the end of the race like a trooper,” Coach Pugh, who helped organize the half marathon, said.

Part of the praise Ludivine received after the race, was the presentation of her very own custom medal. She was also featured on local television stations and highlighted in international running news.

“Her spirit has caused us to rename the race in honor of her and to use her as a springboard to promote what runners’ everywhere already know ... freedom to run inspires us all,” Coach Pugh said.

Next year’ race will be called Elkmont’s Hound Dog Half Marathon, and a new logo has already been designed by Elkmont High School’s assistant principal, Haley James. James approached Coach Pugh after Ludivine’ s story went viral and offered to put her graphic art skills to work. The logo has already been placed on shirts and is currently being used as another fundraiser to benefit the race’s beneficiary – the Elkmont High School Cross Country Team.

Organizers hope to see many of these shirts appear on the course of next year’s half marathon event, which may even include a new, pet-friendly, shorter distance addition in honor of the Hound Dog Half’s namesake – Ludivine.

“Ludivine has embodied all as a coach that I want our race to achieve. Stay loose, stay focused (although sniff around occasionally to see the beauty) and follow the shirt in front of you!” Coach Pugh said.

She (Gretta Armstrong) Said…

According to Race Director, Gretta Armstrong, Ludivine is one of several four-legged runners who joins runners on the trail during local runs. She therefore thought little about seeing “Lu” hanging out with runners on the trail prior to the starting gun. Armstrong never would have imagined however, that Ludivine would be joining in on the whole race.

“Thanks to Ludivine’s story, word of our half marathon has made it around the world,” Armstrong shared.

Armstrong and her two teenage boys are all runners. When the boys’ coach (Coach Pugh) was asked by the Elkmont Town Council if the XC team would like to take over hosting the local 10K race that the Lion’s Club had started 10 years ago, they

decided to go a little further.

“After meeting with the town council, who tried to talk us into changing the 10K into a 5K, we not only convinced them to keep that race a 10K but also to let us host a half marathon in our little town,” Armstrong said.

She never expected a huge turnout for this first-year event, and certainly could not have imagined all of the wonderful world scale recognition that the half helped elicit. In addition to Ludivine’s story traveling through national borders, a world record was also set at the January half marathon.

Eight- year old Grattan O’Neill ran the race with his dad, Shane. Grattan finished 12th overall with a time of 1:38:22 which earned him a single age world record for a half marathon (ARRS.net). Grattan currently holds 17 state single age records and this made his sixth single age world record.

“While many kids his age were still in bed sleeping or sitting in front of a video game, this young man was out achieving world records!” Armstrong said.

The collaborative success, including the individual accomplishments of Ludivine and Grattan during the inaugural half marathon, have left Armstrong feeling “amazed, excited, humble and thankful.”

She looks forward to the unfolding of subsequent years’ events and the possible addition of the pet-friendly portion of the run.

“It will have to be controlled for safety reasons so we are in the process of working out the details now,” Armstrong said.

As for Ludivine, since achieving such running success, she has received an award from the Limestone County Commission for promoting international goodwill for Limestone County, Alabama, and will tentatively be involved in a fundraising run for the Methodist Children’s Home. She has gained many fur-legged friends and family fans across the nation who are now following her on Facebook, and Dogwatch Hidden Fence is installing a complimentary underground fence for her to safely run around on the privacy of her own farm.

It sounds like that Ludivine is one doggone lucky runner!

Down the Road

An Imperfect 10 - OCD and Lots of Miles One Year After The Last Run Nadia Comaneci on the balance beam at the 1976 Summer Olympics.

Bo Derek in a swimsuit running along the beach. In slow motion.

My score on every single 10-word spelling test I had in second grade.

All were perfect 10’s.

I’ve always held a special fondness in my heart for nice round numbers. It’s one of the side effects of an OCD personality, so I guess that special fondness is actually in my head rather than my heart.

That being said, if there’s a deadlier combination on this planet than a runner with OCD I can’t imagine what it would be (other than human flesh trying to stop a speeding bullet or Eddie Murphy in any movie without ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ in the title).

You want examples? Starting small and working my way up…

— It’s becoming increasingly difficult for me to end a day on a ‘non-round’ number. For example if I were to run a 10K race (6.2 miles) I’ll throw in some mileage with a ‘.8’ at the end to finish the day with a whole number. 6.2 miles + 2.8-mile warmup and/or cooldown = 9.0 miles.

— There have been weeks when I realized I had a chance to reach a certain plateau (let’s say 90 miles) and after Saturday’s run I’d be at 77 miles with Sunday’s run still left to finish off the week. Since Sunday has always been the day for my long run it didn’t make sense to run 13 miles and stop at 90. So I would run 23 miles on Sunday and finish at 100.

— Likewise there have been months in which I followed a similar thought process.

Two hundred and ninety miles for the month with a whole week left would result in me running another 110 miles those final seven days. Many times I would wait until the last day of the month to check my mileage … again just to see if it was possible to finish the month on a nice round number. If the mileage needed was within reason (my definition of ‘within reason’ and yours may not be the same), I considered it my duty to run what I deemed necessary (again, my definition of ‘necessary…’).

— Don’t think for one second that my annual mileage afforded me any luxuries.

One year, after my morning run on Dec. 31, I was at an even 5,400 miles for the year. During the day I calculated my daily average to be 14.79 miles and discovered I needed to run another two miles to bring that average to an even 14.80. Don’t think for one second I didn’t do the math to fig-

ure out what I needed to raise it to an even 15.0.

My first indication I might be able to kick the OCD to the curb occurred in 2006. I was running (for me) some really high mileage and was on the verge of averaging 13 miles per day for a span of 13 years. I surprised myself when I finished those 13 years averaging 12.99 miles a day.

Believe it or not, I would have had to run an additional 47+ miles on the very last day to raise my average a mere one-hundredth of a mile. But don’t think for a second it was easy for me to dispel the notion of doing it.

My second indication of getting the OCD monkey off my back happened early last year when I noticed my monthly mileage was at 299 miles after my run on the last day of the month. I surprised myself when I chose not to run an additional mile to bring the total for the month to an even 300. (As you may have suspected, I keep track of a lot of virtually meaningless numbers such as years with three, four and five thousand miles; months with three, four and five hundred miles; weeks with 80, 90 and 100 miles; and days with 10 miles or more. For several years I recorded the number of sit ups I did each day — it always had to be a multiple of 50 — and the number of beers I drank. OCD is a terrible thing. Or maybe it’s a good thing. It’s hard for me to tell, exactly.)

Believe it or not, it was easier deciding to NOT run that one mile that it was those 47+ miles in 2006.

In no way, however am I totally cured of my OCD. In 2015 I was very focused on the number of miles I wanted to run: 3,600.

I simply wanted to average running 300 miles a month for the year just to show that someone 60 years old could. I was on pace for 3,600 miles throughout the year but tried to get ahead of the game just a bit during the Christmas holidays as I knew Cindy and I would be spending the last two days of the year in her brother and his wife’s cabin in the mountains of North

Do you plan to run for the rest of your life? I remember talking to a lot of runners back in the 80s and most of them assumed they would be running forever. I will name two runners who assumed they would - one named Kathy and one named Cedric.

Running was a big part of our life.

We were running about 30 races per year and Kathy liked half marathons and I preferred 5K and 10K races.

She set her f irst state age group record after hitting her 40th birthday - the 8K at Greenwood if I recall correctly. I was aiming to get my f irst record when I turned 40 late in the month of May. I had just run a string of ten 5K races in a row with times under 18 minutes. The age group record at that time was something like 17:52 and I considered it 'soft'.

Something I could easily beat.

I knew I wouldn't get many chances since Bob Schlau, a much better runner than me, would turn 40 in September of the same year and set the record a couple of minutes faster than I could ever run. Race day came and it was hot and humid, I just looked it up and it was 76 degrees with near 100 percent humidity. Did I mention that I was a terrible runner in the heat? Never mind. I will say that I blew up and ran 18:20 and since it was an unusually warm summer and fall I never got that record.

So as they say . . . . 'The best laid plans . . .”

I also remember that in 2002 Kathy was looking over the state age group records, and she held a number of them at the time, and looking forward to turning 55 so she could go after a new set of records. I remember her saying “Pat has that one, I think I can get it, Stephanie has that one . . . it's going to be really hard to get that one.” Neither of us knew that later that year she would be diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and a year later would be unable to run. She has handled the transition much better than I would have, and much better than I have when the end came to my running.

The last day I was able to run was January 30, 2015. So I'm looking, as I write this, at one year after my last run. Why did I 'quit' running? It wasn't voluntary, and it wasn't without a

By Cedric Jaggers

physical and mental struggle. Some of you know that Kathy and I were hit head on in a car accident by a woman who was texting and came across the line to total both her and Kathy's car.

Fortunately Kathy was uninjured - in fact all six airbags went off and didn't even break her frameless glasses which she was wearing at the time.

I wasn't as fortunate. My right foot and ankle took a beating but the injuries didn't show up that day. But they did a week later when I started trying to run. I kept trying and the pain got worse every day. So I went to my family doctor. He X-rayed the foot and the small fractures in the ankle showed up. So how much fun it is getting a cortisone shot and spending a couple of months in a walking boot? Not much.

Then I rode the bike and continued working out and then tried to run and the pain came back. Let's get custom made orthotics. Oh by the way my insurance wouldn't pay for them that'll be $320 thank you sir.

Let's try to run again. More pain.

Let's see a specialist. I asked to be sent to the best and my Dr. sent me to nearby Charlotte to Ortho Carolina.

They are the same ones who did the work on Carolina Panthers' Quarterback Cam Newton. They discovered that I had ligament and tendon damage. How much fun is doing 26 weeks of physical therapy? The Doctors released me to run again. So I started running again and even ran a comeback race, a The Pumpkin Run 5K in October 2014 and the pain came back. But the pain was minor and I was in denial. So I kept running. But by January it was getting worse and on January 30, 2015 the pain was so intense that when I came back in the house I told Kathy I couldn't run and would have to see t he Dr. in Charlotte again.

Pre-Race Sleep

Coping with Mother Nature

It's the night before the important race you've trained months for. You're excited, nervous, and apprehensive, all at the same time. Bed time -- get that much needed rest for the big day tomorrow. You lay there, you toss, you turn, your heart races, you're just ready to race, but you need, and want to sleep, but you can't. It's a scenario that I would venture to guess all runners have experienced at some point in time. The bad sleep scenario can even occur for several nights before a highly anticipated race. Currently, there is great interest among researchers concerning sleep and athletic performance, and without question, proper sleep is needed for peak performance. So just how can you remedy the poor sleep predicament before a race?

Pre-race anxiety is very normal and actually can be interpreted as a good thing since it means your fight or flight response is preparing you for action, however the anxiety is inappropriate in the days leading up to the event, especially when trying to sleep. Just what causes all of this pre-race anxiety? Well, in all honesty it's your thinking. You aren't running the night before a race, so there is no threat or need for physical action. But you're thinking about the race. “Am I ready?” “Have I overtrained?” “I hope that little pain in my calf isn't serious.””

“Will my alarm clock wake me up and what if I miss the bus to the start?” Your mind races and you toss and turn. Gosh, I speak from experience on this one!

In order to reduce the anxiety, work on changing your thinking! Easier said than done, but it can be done! In the days leading up to an important race constantly remind yourself that your training and hard work is done and there is nothing more you can do. The key is to constantly remind yourself to trust. When I say trust, I mean trusting that that you've done your best in your preparation and trusting that you will do your best in the race. Be aware of negative thoughts that create self-doubt and anxiety and when they do occur remind yourself to trust. Think positive thoughts and have positive images of your race to come. Why doubt, it simply does no good. So in the days leading up to a big race, and especially the night before, trust your preparation and your effort to come.

By trusting you will help reduce your stress hormones, which in turn will

Snow and ice. Thunder and lightning.

Heat and humidity. The weather challenges facing us runners are endless. A few days before this writing, the northeastern part of the country saw one of the biggest snowstorms in history, while parts of the southeast got freezing rain that made the roads ice covered. Here in Florida we have had one front after another coming in, each bringing heavy rain and thunderstorms. And sometimes also tornadoes!

One such system arrived in the early morning hours of Jan. 17, the day the Naples Half Marathon was scheduled to take place. The storm had passed by the time the race was supposed to start, but it left so much damage in its wake that the organizers had no choice but to cancel the race. There were downed trees and power lines on the course, and also standing water. More than 2,500 runners were signed up, including several from out of town. Among the latter were a couple that I met at the pasta dinner the night before, who had come all the way from Utah to run! And then there were a few who had planned to use the race as a last opportunity to qualify for the Olympic Trials in February.

Wicked weather has canceled many races during the past several years, and postponed or interrupted others. Several marathons and half marathons in the South-Central US had to be canceled due to ice storms in early December of 2013.

Among them were the Dallas Marathon, and the St Jude Marathon in Memphis, TN. Then there was the 2007 Chicago Marathon that was interrupted because of heat. And the start of the 2014 Oklahoma City Marathon was delayed by almost two hours because of a passing severe thunderstorm. Just to mention a few examples.

But it isn't only races that are feeling the impact of the weather. It can also be hard to get training runs in when we are being bombarded with snow, ice, wind and lightning. A dedicated, competitive runner may pride herself in running “rain or shine,” however there are some weather conditions that could stop even the most committed runner in her tracks. I asked a few of my friends how they cope with adverse weather conditions, and whether there are any weather conditions that they wouldn't run in at all.

It probably comes as no surprise that most said they would not run in a lightning storm. “Lightning petrifies me” said Nan Henderson, who lives most of the

increase the likelihood of quality sleep.

There are other tricks to keep in mind to increase the likelihood of sound sleep the night before a race. Even if you are a regular user of caffeine, try not to consume any caffeinated beverages after the noon hour. Just don't risk taking a stimulant like caffeine, even if you think it has no effect on you. Now the morning of the race, that's another story! If you tend to take naps, be careful not to take a long nap the day before a big race. Long naps of an hour or more may interfere with your natural sleep cycles and could possibly keep you awake at night. If you do nap, make it 20 minutes at most. Also, do your best to make the day before the race as stress free as possible. Do something that relaxes you, not stresses you out. Stress outside of running can elevate stress hormones and lead to sleep problems. Be careful about getting caught up in pre-race hoopla, like giant expos, stressing over where to eat your pre-race meal or taking long tours of a new city. Make the day before the race as low key and relaxed as possible. You know what stresses you and what relaxes you. Follow your instincts!

A relatively new finding on sleep has to do with tablet and smart phone blue screens. It would appear that spending time on your tablet or smartphone in the evening has a negative effect on sleep.

While many of us are in a way addicted to our mobile devices, try to be disciplined and tuck them away in the evening before a big race. Yes, texting and playing with apps can take your mind off stressors, but staring at that screen could interrupt your sleep patterns. On the subject of light, even being in very brightly lit areas with polychromatic lights can negatively affect sleep later that night. So don't spend too long under bright floodlights or flood lit areas such as stadiums or airports.

year in Naples, FL. Louise Guardino of Cary, NC, agreed, saying “lightning equals no running.”

Ice also poses a challenge for some.

John Froelich said that he always runs very carefully when snow and ice blanket the streets of New Richmond, OH, where he normally does his training runs. At age 65, he knows that one bad fall on ice could end his career, or put him on the sidelines for a very long time. Tom Arnel of Carrboro, NC, on the other hand, enjoyed running on ice after the winter storm they had shortly before this writing.

He was wearing yaktrax though, a traction device that you put on the underside of your shoes.

Personally I won't run if there is lightning nearby, or ice on the ground.

Although since I live in South Florida, ice is no longer an issue. But when I lived in places where it sometimes iced up, I would ride my indoor exercise bike instead on those days. I also try to avoid running during torrential downpours, and here in Florida those are plentiful!

Especially this year, when Mother Nature seems to have forgotten that we are in the dry season and keeps on dumping rain on us every couple of days.

As we get older we may feel more reluctant to run in adverse weather conditions, and decide to head to the gym or pool instead. Especially if we are not competitive runners. Or maybe some of us become more stubborn with age, not letting anything short of a tornado stop us from getting our daily run in! (Although it is always a good idea to at least postpone a run if there is lightning around.)

The good news is that there are ways we can work around just about any type of weather. Even thunderstorms! We can reduce the likelihood of being caught in one by running early in the day. Or we can head for the treadmill. Or take the day off CONTINUED ON PAGE 31

Running Through the Bluegrass Training with a Running Coach Who do I want to be as an athlete?

What do I want to accomplish? Exploring the answers to those questions - albeit certainly not the first time I've considered them - made for a robust year in 2015.

For the past two years, I've worked my way back to a much more competitive state both mentally and physically. I think both are equally important - and it's best when you have both states at one time.

I've worked on my answers to those first two questions, but that begs another question: How do I get there?

And as runners, we know that question is followed by an endless stream of questions. Do I run more miles? How many more? At what pace? What kind of workouts? How long should my training cycle be? How often should I race and what distance? What type of strength training and cross-training should I do and how much?

For nearly 10 years, I've been trying to answer those questions by myself. I used the venerable couch-to-5k plan found on the coolrunning.com site to train for my first 5k. When I moved up in distance, I used schedules mostly from running books, especially Pete Pfitzinger's “Advanced Marathoning.” But those onesize-fits-all plans - even when you have some peak mileage and training cycle length options - don't allow much flexibility. And if things aren't going right, you either have to make it up as you go or stick it out and hope.

Right before New Year's I had a phone conversation with Coach Matt Ebersole of Personal Best Training. I had been kicking around the idea of hiring a coach for some time and wanted to find someone who would understand my running background and goals - having started running in my early 20s and moving up quickly to the marathon, I'm not your standard postcollegiate runner. Nor am I quite the “bucket list” type marathoner, either.

Many people want to just finish their first marathon; I wanted to qualify for Boston (and did).

Coach Ebersole has more than 25 years of coaching experience, including 8 Olympic Trials qualifiers. (Really, basically 9 - one of his athletes left for an elite training group after November's Monumental Marathon and just qualified for the trials at Houston.) He's also coached dozens of Boston qualifiers, but plenty of more recreational runners, too.

He has a training group of all abilities in the Indianapolis area.

Many people search online for a coach first, then narrow it down. I went at it a lit-

tle backwards, I guess, having a sense that Coach Ebersole would be a good fit. If I had changed my mind about that, I'm not sure if I would've looked for someone else or not.

Our first conversation went great. We talked about individualizing training plans and how there's no one perfect training plan - and that we'd shape my training based on what worked best. My own preferences and strengths will shape the plan - the amount of mileage, the types and frequency of workouts - will all be tailored to make me the best runner I can be.

I gave myself some time to think about it after our call, but knew pretty soon that I would be signing on. It makes me nervous - it's a commitment. Not just because of the money, but because I'm putting it out there that I want to reach certain goals and I'm willing to take some serious steps to reach them. The idea of not reaching those goals is what makes me nervous - I don't want to look like a fool for paying a coach and not getting there. But that means the onus is on me. I have to do the work so I don't look like a fool. And that's the commitment.

For me, a coach is a way to both put pressure on myself and take pressure off, if that makes sense. I don't have to figure out the schedule. I just have to get up and do the work. But the pressure is on me to do the work. If I don't do it, I can't blame Coach Ebersole if I'm not successful.

After deciding it was a go, we had a second conversation to go over more details, including fleshing out my running background, current routine and goals.

Coach Ebersole also walked me through different methods for gauging effort so that we would be using the same terms in the same ways. He also set me up on Training Peaks, a training log site. It allows him to post workouts including pretty detailed explanations, then when I sync my Garmin, it loads in my data. Then there's room for me to add comments and track shoes, plus add daily metrics like weight, sleep, etc. While Coach Ebersole

is only scheduling my running workouts, I also upload my cross-training session to Training Peaks so he can see all of it.

Same for sleep and weight - I want him to have access to the full picture so that if things aren't going right, we can quickly identify why.

Typically, I'll receive 3-4 weeks of training at a time. At the end of each block, Coach Ebersole will review my entries and provide feedback through Training Peaks. While Training Peaks is our main method for communicating, I'm not limited to that. I can email or text him as needed, like when I'm not sure about a workout or if I run a race and want to share results.

What I have learned about working with Coach Ebersole is that I have to find more nuance in my paces. I have about five points on my scale from easy to hard; Coach Ebersole has something like 10. A recent 8 mile "moderate” run included heart rate at 70-75% of max plus striders at 800-1600 race pace, not an all-out sprint.

As I write this, I'm 12 weeks from

9

Carmel but I don't know what the peak weeks look like, so I can't get intimidated.

I'm already at my peak mileage from last season at the start of this training cycle.

With four weeks of training with Coach Ebersole in the books, I can't give an overall evaluation or a resounding success story. But, it's been great so far. I've enjoyed the workout variety and the sense of community I get through a Facebook page for his runners.

I think having a coach can help hold you accountable and also relieve the stress of finding a canned plan to follow and not knowing if it's working or not - especially if you're like me and haven't worked with a coach before. In many ways, I've spent years figuring things out as I go. It is an investment, but it's an investment in myself. To fit it into my budget - we're saving for a house and we're just 18 months from having paid for our entire wedding - I quit getting my nails done.

Coaching services are actually cheaper than manicures, and I feel better about nailing a workout anyway.

Women’s Running Dreams Require Dedication And Motivation By the time you read this, three women and three men will have realized their dream and be on the 2016 Olympic Marathon Team heading to Brazil in August. Steve and I have volunteered at the trials in one capacity or another since 1992.

This time the trip will be one of passage, of dreams realized and thus my article for this month. Over 400 men and women qualified for the trials and have put months of hard work into their preparation. Obviously the trials are "the Olympics" for many qualifiers and only a few dozen actually have the talent or the dream to make the team. But they all have dreams and goals and each has done everything possible to get to the trials in top shape. That is the stuff dreams are made of and what keeps each of them going. Knowing you can put yourself on the line and expect that your individual dream may be realized is what keeps the elites and all of us moving forward.

As every day runners/walkers we too need to have dreams about where our running will take us. It is so very important to have dreams even if they are a bit unrealistic. That is the magic of running. I am continuously reminded that each of our dreams is extremely personal to us and we definitely need dreams to get us up and out and to keep us focused and motivated. It is not always easy but it takes us to places we never imagined we could go.

In the past year I have watched all types of folks join the training programs of the Atlanta Track Club. Amy and Andrew Begley are all about getting every single person who has a dream of making a plan to realize that dream. Whether it is to finish a mile or a 5K or a half marathon or marathon, each of these individuals have a dream. Amy actually accompanies the last participant in an event to the finish line.

Whether your dream is to qualify for the Boston Marathon, run a personal best or just cross the finish line standing, your dreams make you the runner you are.

I have learned it is not always about speed but about something bigger than yourself. It is truly about having a dream and figuring out a way to realize it. This is not an easy task as life does seem to get in the way. But having a dream puts you on the right path and helps you to stay with a plan no matter the goal.

I recall when my Steve first started running at age 50, he had a dream of finishing a 5K without walking and not being last.

He put in a lot of work over several months to realize that dream, then he had bigger dreams and eventually dreamed of running

a marathon under four hours. He managed to do that seven times before he developed arthritis of the spine and had to put running dreams on the shelf. But how marvelous it was to see this a "non athlete" have big dreams and work to fulfill them.

I talk to many people and am amazed how many do not realize their potential to dream about accomplishing what they believed were previously impossible feats.

Many people say things like I would love to run or get some exercise or finish a race.

When they are finally convinced that they are able to do this, and then do it, the pure happiness I see on their faces makes it all worthwhile. I once coached a young woman who wanted to finish a 10-mile race. She put in the work and complained a great deal, but when she crossed that finish line with me and I draped that medal around her neck, you would have thought she had just earned an Olympic gold medal! Her joy at realizing her dream was amazing.

Dreaming of doing something new or better or further, is a true life force. You have to make a commitment, dedicate yourself to getting your plan done and hopefully discover a support system to aid you in getting the work done. It is never easy to go outside your comfort zone and stretch your limits but the rewards are so great and you truly find a new self. You transform into a new person who has had the dream of going

where you never realized you could go.

We runners are all made of the same stuff. It is just as hard for you to go out and train as it is for a professional runner. They are just more talented in the running world.

We all lace up our shoes and have to get our butts out the door. Running is not something anyone else can do for you. We all have to confront the forces of Mother Nature and the highs and lows of being a runner. It is not easy but having and realizing dreams never is.

As I see more and more children taking up our sport, I trust they have dreams for their future especially after several years of fun and low key, no pressure events. They find the happiness that running brings and they feel a part of something bigger than themselves. We need to continuously foster those dreams no matter how big or small.

Having running and dreams for yourself will keep you a lifetime runner, and what a better world it would be if everyone ran.

My own relationship with running has taken me through many dreams (not all realized) over 38 years. My dreams have

evolved and I even completed my first cross country race this past December. It was not pretty as I was "competing" with a sprained ankle but I realized my dream of doing cross country. My other recent dream was running a marathon a month to celebrate turning 65. I experienced such joy realizing that dream. My current dream is to continue this running thing for the rest of my life.

I have found when you have dreams you often accomplish things you never dreamed of and that is a true blessing.

So prepare yourself to dream and set some goals to meet those dreams this year.

Since this is an Olympic year, the Gate River 15K national championship this month will see lots of new youngsters who are hoping to meet their professional running dreams. Some will succeed and some will not but it is dreams that keep us motivated and moving forward!! Dream big!!

South Carolina Long Distance Runners of Year Announced

By Bill Marable, USATF Record Keeper Brett Morley and Caitlin Batten have been chosen South Carolina Long Distance Runners of the Year by USA Track and Field for 2015. Also chosen were outstanding masters competitors Marc Embler, Dian Ford and Kerry Robinson.

At age 23, Morley becomes the youngest runner to ever win this award. Competing in many of the state's top events he won 10 of 17 races. The Landrum resident took major victories at the Red White and Blue Shoes 5K in 15:07, the Run Downtown 5K in 15:33, the Sunrise Run 8K in 25:37 and the half marathon at the Myrtle Beach Mini Marathon in 1:09:52. He ran four half marathons, all under a time of 1:11. Other strong performances were a runner-up finish at TreesGreenville Turkey Day 8K in 25:13, third place at Long Run 15K in 49:31 and a 16th place at the Copper River Bridge Run 10K in 32:48.

He started running in 10th grade at Landrum High School, giving up football. His best performance was an 11th place at the 1A South Carolina Cross Country Championships as a junior on a victorious team. In junior college at Spartanburg Methodist he made a big improvement setting a school record in the 10K while winning the Pioneer Award for excellence in the classroom and also for sports. Moving on to Division 2, North Greenville University, he excelled even more earning MVP honors in both cross country and track for two years along with receiving a Christian Leadership Award. He was named Conference Carolinas Fall Athlete of the Year in 2013 as well as being academic all-conference. In the spring he graduated with a 3.98 GPA and landed a job teaching 5th grade at New Prospect Elementary School in Spartanburg County. Credit for his success goes to his new coach Jeff Milliman at Greenville Running Company, plus support from his girlfriend, Ashlee Harm. Those runners he was selected over were Eric Ashton, Chris Bailey, Michael Banks and Matt Shock.

Breaking a near 20-year-old state record at the Kiawah Island Marathon, Caitlin Batten, ran a time of 2:49:03 to win on a warmer than usual December day. This made up for a year that started badly as she suffered from chronic fatigue caused by anemia that resulted in subpar performances. The 32-year-old physical therapist returned to form in the fall winning the Charleston James Island Connector 5K in 17:56 and was the top state finisher in placing fifth at the Knights of Columbus Turkey Day 5K in 17:43. For the year, the North Charleston resident won 6 of 11 races. On the lighter side, she won the Beer Mile World Championship in Austin, TX in a time of 6:48 which involves drinking a beer each quarter mile. In high school her best sport

was lacrosse and since age seven she has competed in equestrian. At Wake Forest University she was on the equestrian team for four years. She did not start running seriously until her senior year of college. The former Caitlin Judd married her coach Irv Batten in July. In winning this award for a third straight year she was selected over Alyssa Bloomquist, Sunday Davis, Shawanna White and Michelle Ziegler.

A runner for over 40 years, Marc Embler, was a track standout at Berea High School in Greenville and at Baptist College (Charleston Southern University) where he was inducted in the school's athletic hall of fame in 2002. In 1981 he became the only Charlestonian to win the Cooper River Bridge Run 10K and ran it in April for the 34th time in taking the 55-59 age group in 36:51. The North Charleston resident set three state age group records running 8K in 28:35 and Beaufort Twilight, 12K in 44:37 at the Orangeburg Festival of Flowers and 10 miles in 1:00:34 at the Green Valley Road Race. This gives him a total of six records in the 55-59 division. In 17 races the 58 year old won his age group in all of them, while being the top over-40 runner in ten and the overall winner in three. In August he was promoted at his alma mater to the Dean for the Center for Academic Excellence. The additional workload caused his fall races to suffer. Before becoming a college professor he worked as a federal probation officer for 24 years. His wife of five years, Ruth Marie, who is a two time runner of the year herself, continues to be his inspiration and coach. They have four children and added a third grandchild during the year. In winning this award for a third time in four years be beat out Eric Ashton, Scott Autrey, Larry Brock and Dave Geer.

The female masters voting ended in a tie, thus two runners received the award.

Celebrating her 60th birthday on March 7, Dian Ford, set a state record in the 10K at the Reedy River Run, clocking a time of 45:11 despite running injured. When she got healthy again in the fall, she set state records in four consecutive events. At Midnight Flight she lowered her 10K time to 44:09, then ran the Rotary Oktoberfest 5K in 20:51, the TreesGreenville Turkey Day 8K in 34:32 and finished the year with a time of 1:38:21 at the Kiawah Island Half Marathon. The Piedmont resident now holds 16 state records, more than any other runner. In seven races she had one overall victory, two masters wins and led her age group in each of them. Outside of South Carolina she ran 41:37 at The Great Race 10K in Pittsburgh. The Clemson alum started running at 28 and ran her first race when she was seven

months pregnant. She is a retired teacher of 37 years and now does private tutoring. A mother of four children ages 24 to 34, she also has four grandchildren. Her children are her inspiration and daughter, Sunday Davis, is one of the state's top runners.

Her mother, Evelyn Tripp, who holds three state records herself, passed away in February at the age of 99. Ford credits Jeff Milliman of the Greenville Running Company for his continued support and knowledge.

For the first time in ten years, Kerry Robinson was able to run more than a couple races a year and to stay injury free. Starting the year at the Save the Light 5K she ran a 55-59 age group state record of 19:18. Not having run a 10K in 13 years she ran another record at the Cooper River Bridge Run in 41:05. At age 56 the Meggett resident won the masters division at the Knights of Columbus Turkey Day 5K in 19:23. Competing in eight races she won her age division in all eight, the masters division in seven and had two overall victories. In her native country of Scotland she began running at age ten and competed on Scottish teams at three world cross country championships. She was recruited to Clemson University where she became a cross country All-American in 1981 along with being All-Atlantic Coast Conference three consecutive years. In 2007 she was inducted into the Clemson Athletic Hall of Fame. Over 30 years later she still holds school track records in the 3000 meters of 9:05.65 and 5000 meters of 16:02.76. She has a doctorate degree from Clemson in Materials Science and Engineering and is employed at Kapstone Charleston Kraft as a Process Optimization Engineer. Eight years ago she became a United States citizen. There are numerous people she gives credit for her success and they include her life partner, Michael Drews, her lunch running buddies, her doctor Rick Huston, and her running partner hound dog Bones. The other contenders for this award were Sarah Allers, Nancy Curry and Susi Smith.

Tallahassee Marathon Finish Line To Be Permanent Landmark The finish line of the Tallahassee Marathon course will become a landmark in the Downtown area. City officials recently approved a plan to paint a finish line marker onto the pavement near Kleman Plaza where the 26.2 mile journey will end for participants in the full marathon event, which will be held Feb. 7.

This brand-new course takes runners of both the half and full marathon through the Capital City’s best and brightest landmarks. The new finish line will also prove a year-round destination for runners who have completed or hope to complete this challenge race distance. Much like the finish line of the Boston Marathon, which can be seen year round on iconic Boylston Street, the Tallahassee Marathon finish line will attract those visiting and residing in the city to take photos, be reminded of their accomplishments and dare them to

dream of going the distance.

The Marathon is presented by Capital City Runners and Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare and in partnership with Visit Tallahassee. For more information about the Marathon, visit www.TallahasseeMarathon.com.

ABOUT TALLAHASSEE MARATHON: The 42nd annual Tallahassee Marathon will be held February 7, 2016. Beginning in 1975 with just two participants, the marathon is now a well- known and eagerly anticipated event in Florida’s capital city of Tallahassee (the halfmarathon began in the 1980s). Starting in 2016, we are pleased to showcase new Tallahassee marathon and halfmarathon courses that highlight local landmarks and parks and run through neighborhoods and business districts.

THIS RUNNING LIFE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 For Rebecca, NCRC is special because of its long history and because it is a club still full of charter members who serve as mentors to other runners.

“In a very ‘me’ society, the organization creates the awareness of ‘we’ bringing to the forefront the importance of civic responsibility,” she wrote. “We give back to our community through an Adopt-AHighway program, cleaning out nature trails and greenways, and always giving a large part of our proceeds to local charities in the community.”

Over the past three years, NCRC has raised $73,605 for community organizations.

“I am proud to be a member of a group of people that believe in volunteerism and giving back to our community though something they love, whether it’s creating events for runners by runners or picking up trash along the side of the road to make the (community) a more appealing place to live,” Rebecca wrote.

Enjoying the meditative qualities a solitary run provides can be spiritual and restorative. But running with friends is, well, lots of fun.

If you are a lone runner who wants to step outside your comfort zone, give back to your community, and make great friends for life, just take a look around and discover your own running family.

They may be right up the street, and waiting on you to go for a run.

Inspired Daily Change of Venue, Running on the Beach In January, my husband and I drove to Daytona Beach for the annual Florida Athletic Coaches Association track and field clinic. I have attended the summer cross country clinic ever since I began coaching at Manatee High School in 2004 and in recent years added the track clinic. They are both amazing opportunities to learn from some of the best high school, college, and professional coaches in the sport of running.

With heavy traffic and leaving perhaps a little later than planned, we arrived on the east coast Thursday evening after the sun had set so I had no choice but to run in the dark on the beach.

I have never been a fan of running in the dark. It definitely throws me off and I always feel like I am running way faster than I am. My nighttime runs are always slower when I cannot clearly see where I am going so I was definitely not looking forward to this run. I am in the middle of training for the Boston Marathon so I had to squeeze in this run when I could.

Consistency!

We stayed right near the historic Daytona Beach pier, which is a great landmark when heading back and looking for that finish line. I ran out and back to the south in the softer sand area due to the high tide. Taking into account the soft sand and the darkness, I decided not to

worry about my slow pace on the way out. During those easy three miles out, I was enjoying the different perspective of the beach at night. It was lit just enough by the hotels and resorts along the road.

It was very windy but comfortable and I only saw five people the whole time I was out there. That was certainly a new experience! I have been to Daytona Beach many times and never had the beach all to myself like that.

Once I turned around to head back to the pier, a strong and very cold head wind hit me. It was so strong I felt like I was in a wind tunnel. Shivering and three miles away from our hotel, I had no choice but to run faster to generate more heat and get back as quickly as I could.

Those three miles back were nearly two minutes faster per mile than on the way out. When I finished, I was spent and had that crazy little smile we runners get when completely exhausted from a great

run. After reviewing the data on my Garmin, I felt even better seeing the negative splits. Data aside, this run left me with such an amazing feeling. It was as if I had escaped civilization for those 57 minutes. The beach was mine and I was the lone crazy runner out there battling the cold and wind at the edge of the water. Exhausted. Me against the elements. My victory. A nighttime run I was dreading turned into something extremely memorable.

Thursday night's run was harder than it should have been so I was not super confident about Friday's six miles at goal marathon pace plus one mile warm up and cool down. To give my legs a little more recovery time, I ran at noon since we had a long lunch break from the track clinic. I headed north for four miles, turned around, and again ran negative splits on the way back. Saturday was an easy eight mile run at noon to the south with a strong headwind on the way back again. Three great runs in a row. Clearly beach running agrees with me.

Sunday would be my last run on the beach before heading home and the slowest of the trip. I did feel some fatigue but it was the high tide that challenged me most as I hit the beach at 7 a.m. With beach erosion and the highest high tide I have ever seen at Daytona Beach, I was forced to run in the super soft sand up near the sea wall. It was that or hit the sidewalk on the other side of the hotels. I get enough sidewalk running at home so stayed on the beach. Even this super challenging, slow run in the soft sand was extremely enjoyable.

Four days, four very different workouts, one incredible beach on which to run, and I left Daytona Beach feeling confident, rejuvenated, and excited to venture to other new places. If your running feels a bit flat or too routine, change it up; seek out some new places to explore. Even if you do the same workouts that you do at home, a fresh venue can make all the difference in the world. Run happy.

For Best Performances, It’s All About Base

To Run Or Not To Run — That Is The Question

By Dink Taylor, http://FleetFeetHuntsville.com

By Ginger Herring, http://www.sprr.org Newsletter Editor, St. Petersburg Road Runners

Over the last 38 years, I have observed runners. The things they say, the way they train, the races they choose and the way they feel about their performances. Other things I have noticed is that they tend to race too many races, they don’t train long enough for “A” goal races, and they often complain about their performances. Too many runners start doing hill work, speed work, long runs and 46 weeks later they are racing marathons or 50k distances. I have concluded if all runners would have some patience, and focus on base training, they would perform and feel better about their performances, especially in longer races such as the marathon.

Too many times I see runners forgetting the most important part of training, base training. What is base training? This is the beginning of training phase (Mesocycle) for a marathon or other goal race distance.

Typically, this means running up to 500 miles at conversation pace (aerobic). Think you do enough base training before you race? Look at it this way. This could be 50 miles per week for 10 weeks. I have found that most runners don’t even train 10 weeks total for any race. Most runners don’t average 50 miles per week either. See what I mean about patience? Base training could take up to 16 weeks for longer races.

Recently, Todd Parsons and I spent about 20 hours in a class for RRCA coaching certi-

fication. There were 35 students from all over the country. One of the things we agreed on was this: It’s not the journey, it is the destination. Often I hear folks say it’s all about the journey, the training, the comradery, the memories, not the destination. Oh but contraire, reality is that after the goal race has been run, everyone wants to have a faster time. We all concluded that despite the journey, everyone wants a faster time. A 4 hour marathoner wants to run 3:59, a 2 hour halfmarathoner would have rather run 1:59, and a 40 minute 10k runner would have rather run 39:59. Get the idea? It is about the destination. No matter what your time was, you always want it to be faster.

In order to run faster times and feel better about your performances, you must base train. I am not saying you can’t race along the way, but that must be part of the training schedule and should be considered “B” races. Everyone likes to run lots of races but in order to do your very best performance a training plan along with a good base is required. If you don’t do the base training, you are not allowed to complain about your performance.

Why do we need to base train? Let’s face it, in order to become a better runner, you have to run miles, lots and lots of miles. You must get more efficient at running slower in order to be able to train harder and faster later in training. Even high school cross country runners spend three months over the summer running up to 500 miles to get prepared the training for 5k cross country races.

We have to build a strong aerobic foundation.

According to Runner’s World magazine “Physiologically, base miles are important because they boost aerobic conditioning, develop slow twitch muscle fibers, increase blood volume and glycogen storage, strengthen connective tissue, and enhance the body’s ability to burn fat.”

It’s February. You have all year to plan your races. When you do, allow time for base training. I am a firm believer in base training and I believe if you will run 500 miles of base training, do 6-8 strides of 100-meters each after you run 2-3 times per week during this time, you will become a better runner even before you do anything else. If you want to run your best performance, be patient, have a training plan and remember, “I’m all about that base.”

Recently the conversation resurfaced about whether runners are cutting their life short by running too many years, so I thought I would reiterate my opinion on the subject.

Some time ago there was an editorial about how running too fast, too far, and for too many years may speed one's progress toward the finish line of life. The original editorial was published in the British Medical Journal and based this opinion on reports presented at medical meetings.

Their findings, so they say, show that an older, 50 plus in age, runner is wearing out their heart and could permanently damage the heart with long training miles, speed work and tempo runs. The study also found that "high-endurance activities can lead to scarring of the right ventricle, increasing the risk of health complications." They go on to list reasons for their conclusions, such as identifying the right ventricle as being most susceptible to exercise-induced injury.

"Balderdash!" I said then and "Balderdash!"

I say again.

I believe all the other opinions I've read stating that the findings in the British Medical Journal are far too constrained to make you think that older people should limit how much and how intensely they exercise. There seems to be overwhelming evidence that supports exercise and how it helps prevent and treat obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attacks, strokes and certain cancers, AND helps us prolong life. There is more truth in this evidence, and is true for me. After my yearly checkup this summer, I found out that my numbers were perfect and my health was great. The doctor told me to keep up the good work and to keep running. Studies be damned. I'm listening to my doctor.

Which brings me to the point of this article. We've been through this before when tuna was bad and now it's ok; coffee was bad and now it's ok; chocolate wasn't good for you and now it is. So, if you don't like the findings of reports like the one in the British Medical Journal, then just wait a while. A new one will come out and tell you how your exercise is good for you. Like the one released by USA Today a while ago. Their

point was that running of any length or speed reduces the risk of death. They reported that researchers found that running, no matter the duration or speed, will reduce mortality risk by about 30%, compared with non-runners. They further report that people who run less than an hour a week have the same health benefits as people who run more, regardless of sex, age, body mass index, or health conditions.

Runners had a 30% lower risk of death overall and a 45% lower risk of death from heart disease or stroke than non-runners.

And on average, runners lived three years longer than non-runners.

Researchers for this study claim that the perfect amount of exercise a day should be 30 to 40 minutes, but it would still be good if you can only exercise for just five minutes a day. If you want to brush off your run because you don't have enough time, do your heart some good and just go out for a five minute jog. Or, jump rope for five minutes. Or, play tag with your children for five minutes. The important thing is to keep moving, even if for five minutes.

Read all the studies you want to obtain all the information you can, but what I think we have to keep in mind is how our own body reacts to what we are doing. As for me, I'm not going to stop how I train or exercise in the near future. I love going on a run, whether it's a long run, speed session, tempo run or just a slow, easy jog on the beach. That's actually where I get my ideas for these articles. If I didn't run, what would I write about?

Have I told you about my grandchildren?

Learning from the Young Guns First Time Marathoner Many of the athletes, a majority in fact, who ran the Olympic Marathon Trials two weeks ago in Los Angeles qualified for the event with a half marathon time. And for some, the Olympic Trials was their marathon debut. In fact, two of our four ZAP Fitness-Reebok athletes that competed at the Trials were running their first ever marathon. While the vast majority of marathoners do get better after experiencing the distance a few times there are many runners who have turned in spectacular races on their first try. This success isn't limited to the professional athletes qualifying for the Olympic Trials, but it is hinged on proper preparation and avoiding some of the common mistakes first time marathoners make.

The first part of putting together a successful marathon training plan is understanding that training for shorter distances isn't all that different than training for a marathon. Many first time marathoners, from professionals to bucket list runners, think they need to double everything they do in training to run a marathon. That type of mindset is a sure fire way to run yourself into the ground and end up injured or completely burnt out by the time you make it to the start line.

While there are a few important training and racing differences when it comes to the marathon compared to other distances, the basics remain the same.

Many professional athletes stretch their weeks out to 9 or 10 days instead of the traditional 7-day weeks in marathon training. This allows for a few more recovery runs in the week by spreading out the typical two workouts with a long run every 7 days to every 9-10 days. Doing a 20-mile long run in the middle of the week isn't possible for most people, but the lesson of adding more easy recovery miles is an important one. Try simplifying your week by having one weekly workout and a long run rather than two weekly workouts. When it comes to marathon training, leave the track shoes at home and focus on tempo, fartlek, and hill based workouts for your harder effort, workouts that should be the backbone of any time of training. You won't (or better not!) spend much time in a marathon running at 5K pace so there isn't a need

By Ryan Warrenburg, ZAP Fitness

to do a lot of that in training.

Eliminating the typical hard interval track day from the weekly schedule will allow you to recover better between your workout and long run and allow you to run a few more miles without being overly tired or increasing your risk of injury.

Running a little bit more mileage than normal will help, but don't go crazy just because you read that Kara Goucher runs 115 miles a week during her marathon buildup. (She does, but it's her job and it took her years and world-class talent to get to that point.) At a minimum for marathon training, you should aim to have some weeks in the 30-35 mile range. And if you stick with only one harder workout a week and are looking to increase your miles, most people running 30-40 miles per week can safely add 20-30% to their weekly mileage.

Those running 45-60 miles per week should look more at a 10-20% increase. When it comes to the marathon, think about reducing intensity while increasing volume. For most people the increase in the long run will make up most of that difference even if you don't change the rest of the week. But again, just because Kara Goucher runs weekly 20-mile long runs doesn't mean you need to too. You do need to get in some longer runs, but many people tend to over do this aspect of training and run into problems before they even get to the start line. You should aim to get in 3-4 long runs of 30K or more within the final 10 weeks, or one every 2-3 weeks.

The longer long runs necessitate consuming both fluids and calories during the run, something you need to practice, as it is a crucial aspect of running the marathon. Don't assume you'll be able to do it just fine on race day. I've seen many runners struggle

while taking in fluids and calories on the run, but with practice the body does get used to it. You should get in 100-110 calories every 40 minutes along with several ounces of fluid, and if it's over 60 degrees drink twice as often as that. If the marathon you're targeting is on the roads then you need to get a significant portion of your long runs on pavement. Soft surface running is fantastic, but when it comes to the marathon you do need to get used to the harder surface during your long runs.

Tackling the marathon distance for the first time can be intimidating, and when it comes to race day the idea of racing 26.2 miles can seem daunting.

So don't think about racing for 26.2 miles. Think about going out for a long run with hundreds or thousands of new friends -how fun! If you have a pace you think you can run for the distance on a good day aim to run the first 20 miles of the race at a pace 1520 seconds per mile slower than that.

Despite the immediacy any race presents, the goal for a first marathon should be to finish strong and get done feeling like you could have run a little faster if you hadn't been so conservative the first 20 miles. That kind of race will allow you to learn the distance while minimizing the chance of having a tough last 10K that leaves you swearing off the marathon forever.

As a first time marathoner it is important to respect the distance, but at the same time embrace the challenge and know that with proper preparation you don't need to be intimidated.

Run Across America in 45 Days? RRCA National Award Winners Rudy Project, Italian crafters of performance eyewear since 1985, is sponsoring ultra-running legend Adam Kimble, 2015 Gobi March champion, in his attempt at breaking the Guinness World Record for Fastest Crossing of America on foot by a male, a record that has stood for nearly 36 years.

The run began Feb. 15 in Huntington Beach, California and will finish in Times Sqaure, NY. Adam will run through 14 states: California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York.

Estimated distance is 3,030 miles.

“When Adam reached out to us, I was just blown away,” said Paul Craig, president and co-founder of Rudy Project North America.

“This guy is running the equivalent of almost three marathons a day, and he’s doing that for 45 straight days! Similar to James Lawrence, the Iron Cowboy who completed 50 full-distance triathlons in 50 states over 50 consecutive days, Adam is the type of athlete who represents the essence, passion and DNA of Rudy Project’s commitment to excellence and pushing the limits in technology and revolutionary products. He is willing to push himself to the edge just to test his own limits and inspire those around him. That’s something which speaks to us at Rudy, and something we are stoked to stand behind in every way.”

“The mental side of ultra running appeals to me almost as much as the physical side,” Adam said. “I love going through and seeing what your body can do, but I also love the fact that if you don’t have the mental strength to push through the low points, then it’s not going to work out.”

The current record for the fastest run across the United States is 46 days, 8 hours

Adam Kimble

and 36 minutes. It was set by American Frank Giannino Jr., who ran from San Francisco to New York, finishing in October 1980. Adam hopes to complete this journey in 45 days or less, which will require him to average 69 miles and consume around 5,000-7,000 calories per day. To date, about 200 people have attempted to cross the US on foot.

“A big part of my mission individually is showing people that when you’re really passionate about something and you feel like it’s what you’re supposed to do, you have to go after it.” Adam hopes to not only push his mental and physical limits during his journey, but to also inspire people all over the world to pursue their passions and accomplish goals they never thought they could attain. One of the main ways he will do this is by raising awareness of impossible2Possible, a US 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to educating and empowering youth through adventure.

As a former Division I baseball player, Adam has always had an athlete’s mindset.

After he graduated, he needed another sport to fuel his competitive drive, so in 2009, Adam signed up for his first 5k run.

Eventually, 5k runs turned into half marathons and half marathons turned into marathons. In 2014, Adam started signing up for ultra distance races, and last year he took the overall title at the Gobi March, a 155 mile race through 4 deserts encompassing Mongolia and China.

Rudy Project will provide Adam and his crew with the world’s most technically advanced lightweight sport and prescription performance sunglasses; which ultilize the award winning unbreakable and photochromic ImpactX-2 lenses. These lenses automatically adjust from clear to dark quickly and are ideal for runners because of the varying light conditions in the early morning and late night hours.

Adam hopes to complete his world record attempt in Times Square, and catch the attention of popular media outlets, such as Good Morning America and The Tonight Show.

Analysis Of Women’s Olympic Marathon Trials

By Larry Eder, RunBlogRun The women’s race had the most drama. Amy Craig, 2012 fourth place finisher, not only made the team but moved up to the win. “I had spent four years training to improve one place,” noted Amy after her hard-won victory. She improved three places!

Defending champion Shalane Flanagan, who was about four weeks short on her training, had to battle not only the field, but heat issues, and went from looking like the unbeatable winner, to holding on for third and requireing an IV, her first after a marathon, to recover. "That was the hardest marathon that I have run over the last six miles." noted Shalane.

And Desi Linden, who, like Amy Cragg, spent four years build to this day, took second, in a race that had her as much as a minute plus down at just past halfway. Desi noted that the race was "grueling".

The field of 198 women started the race, and 139 finished.

Here is how I saw the race…

Training partners have a relationship that is hard to explain.

This past December, I was at the RNR San Antonio, watching the Half Marathon for women. Kara Goucher won the race, with Shalane Flanagan and Amy Cragg taking third and fourth. After the half marathon, Shalane and Amy ran eight more miles with coach Jerry Schumacher, making it a nice long day.

What I did not know at that time was that Shalane was only in her second week of training after an end of season, beginning of season injury.

This would play a major role in the Olympic Trials race.

The day, February 13, 2016, was a good day for sports viewing, but a hard day for racing marathons. The overwhelming comments from our team on the course was how hot it was, how there was no shade, how classy Amy Cragg was in caring

for her ailing team mate, and then, with the finish nearly in site, kicking to the finish.

There were 198 women who actually started the race today, and 139 finished.

The pace, quite conservative for the conditions, started out, through ten miles in 2:33 pace. But, even with that, the contenders and pretenders were seperated pretty fast.

Kellyn Taylor, who had debuted over the marathon in Houston in 2:28:20 in 2015, was up near the front in the early miles, and it was Kellyn who broke open the race, just after seven miles.

Taylor broke open the race, with Sara Hall, Amy Cragg and Shalane Flanagan in tow, at nine miles, then, Amy and Shalane took over, building up ten seconds by twelve miles and the race was on.

From mile 12 to mile 21, Amy Cragg and Shalane Flanagan lead, and the race looked in the bag.

What was quite strange was the distance (just over a minute) that Desi Linden had allowed to grow between the lead pack and her. Kara Goucher seemed to be struggling a bit.

But, Desi started to move, with Kara Goucher in tow and Desi, then, Kara went by Kellyn Taylor, whose early miles and nervous breaking up of the field cost her dearly.

As Desi and Kara battled for third, Shalane Flanagan was having some trouble with the heat. Amy Cragg, who had been training with Shalane for the past four months, did not want to leave her training partner.

As the lead dropped from over a minute, to just over thirtytwo seconds at mile 24, Amy Cragg took over, rather reluctantly.

"I knew Shalane was having trouble. At mile 24 water stop, I had Shalane drop a whole bottle of water over her head."

And then, Amy Cragg took off.

Amy Cragg took off at the perfect time to take the win. Cragg used that top end 10,000 meter speed to cement the win in 2:28:20. Three positions up from her fourth place in 2012.

Amy then waited for Desi Linden, who passed Shalane Flanagan just before 25 miles and went on to take second in 2:28:54.

And in third, Shalane Flanagan, who just barely held on, and did so with pure guts, ran 2:29.19.

In fourth, just over a minute behind, Kara Goucher, who had run herself into contention once again, ran 2:30:24 in these hot and humid conditions. Kara Goucher gave it all she had, and that is the most honorable result and athlete can have.

Janet Bawcom took fifth in 2:31:14, with Kellyn Taylor in sixth in 2:32:50.

In the top five, remarkably, the only thing that changed since 2012 was the positions. Amy Cragg was most improved.

When I asked Amy afterwards how she was feeling, there was much emotion. Her level of fitness is much higher than any time before, but most importantly, her level of confidence has increased ten fold. From mile 21 on, Amy Cragg could have won the race and run away by herself, winning two minutes faster.

She did not. Instead, she showed concern for her training partner, reluctantly leaving her with less than two miles to go!

Her finish was strong, and her victory was exciting. The team of Amy Cragg, Desi Linden and Shalane Flanagan is strong for us.

Each marathoner in the three have strengths and the ability to battle into top ten positions in Rio. And miles to go over the next twenty-five weeks.

Galen Rupp Dominates In Debut Marathon

By Larry Eder, RunBlogRun In his debut marathon, Galen Rupp won the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials on a hot and humid day in sunny Los Angeles.

Meb Keflezighi made his fourth Olympic team, second at the marathon, with his second placing. And in third place, Jared Ward, third in LA Marathon in 2015, made up a strong deficit and moved himself into third place in this hotly contested Olympic Trials.

166 men started the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials at 10:06 AM, Pacific time, on Saturday.

The marathon is one of the most complicated events to race at the elite level. Experience is key for many, but if one does not have experience, then being around experienced coaching and support is key. With Galen Rupp, you have a guy who trains like a marathoner and is coached by a former WR holder in the marathon (Alberto Salazar). With Meb, you have a guy who has finished 23 of his 24 starts in marathons. With Jared, you have a thoughtful marathoner with some strong experience, advised and supported by a great coach (Ed Eyestone), wonderful family and supportive team members.

In the first half, runners from Meb to Tyler McCandless, to Fernando Cabada to Sam Chelanga. Nick Arciniaga was up front several times, as he tried to build a bit of a rythym.

Pace was conservative, as the 5k was hit in 15:48, 10k in 31:34, 15k in 47:12, and 20k in 63:02. In the building heat, even that pace caused discomfort and the lead pack dropped to 30, then, to 20, then, to twelve.

On the four loop course (six miles, then a two mile run to finish), Galen Rupp and Meb Kefelzighi stayed in the pack until the half at 1:06:32.

Galen Rupp stayed out of trouble, early on, he sat off the right arm of Luke Puskedra. Meb floated around, as is his want. He darts up front, and then, in row two, and really is just getting himself into a groove. This time, not much of a groove, as some things were hurting. At 40, Meb has hurts guys ten years younger do not, but he knows how to minimize them.

Keflezighi’s attention to detail is key in all he does. His confidence in his Coach, Bob Larsen is also quite important.

Luke Puskedra, ranked third in the field looked good, as did many others. Matt Llano was looking good, as did Nick Arciniaga, who lead much of the early race. Patrick Smythe, Sean Quigley, Tim Ritchie were among the marathoners up in the lead pack.

But those things began to change. That 2:12 pace, in hot weather, took its toll.

Tyler Pennel, he of sub four minute mile speed, decided to break open the race, and break it open he did. His quick mile dropped all of the pretenders. Even some of the non-pretenders, like Jared Ward, knew that they had to keep themselves in control. ” It was hot and it was hard. That’s it.” was how Jared Ward described it. Tyler made his move at 25k.

At just before sixteen miles, Tyler Pennel dropped a 4:47 mile and they were off, with Meb, Galen and Tyler breaking the pack.

Pennel looked good running very fast. Galen went after him, as did Meb, as did Jared Ward, who had come up through the pack.

“When Tyler made that move, and Meb and Rupp went with him, I thought that’s a hard move. if they can make it, I am not going to catch them. So, I went as fast as I could, and I ran a 4:50 mile, and I am sure that was my fastest mile.” noted Jared

Web, as the race started to get away from him.

From mile 16 to mile 18, Tyler Pennel, Galen Rupp and Meb Keflezighi ran together. Then, Galen took the lead at the water stop, with Meb in tow and Tyler Pennel went back fast. By nine teen miles, Jared Ward was stalking third place…it was only a matter of time.

But it was to be Meb who broke Tyler Pennel, with Galen floating right there. Just after mile 18, with Tyler Pennel falling back, Galen Rupp floated to the front, with no additional percieved effort.

Galen and Meb ran together miles, 19-21. Galen, a couple of times, looked to be in some discomfort. I could not figure out if he dropped his hat on purpose or by mistake.

Meb was pushing, and Galen was running real close. In Meb’s mind, Galen was riding him pretty close. ” I told him this was not a track, but a road.”

In races, there are times when the competition gets hot and heated, and words can be exchanged, and they are. I recall the 1980 Olympic Trials where Craig Virgin road Herb Lindsay for about six laps. Meb and Galen had a disagreement, but that is the confluence of tactics and competition. It happens.

Meb Keflezighi got Galen and Meb away from their competitors, like putting about a minute and three seconds between 18 miles and 21 miles.

Around 2 miles, Galen Rupp, floating along, just did the natural thing and took the lead. As he slightly increased the pace, Galen looked more relaxed and he broke Meb quickly. In Meb’s head, Meb was trying to make sure he made the team and that Jared and perhaps others were not going to catch him.

Between miles 22 and 24, Galen Rupp won his marathon.

Checking his position three or four times, anbd obviously hot, Galen Rupp ran 9:43 for two miles between 22-24 miles. Galen looked uncomfortable in the 18-21 miles, but looked fantastic as he ran over the last two miles. I recall Frank Shorter noting in the 1972 Olympic Games marathon, that he felt poorly in the early slogging of the marathon, and better when he broke it open.

I had noted that Galen would not be here if Coach Alberto Salazar did not think he was ready. But it was hot, and the sun was unrelenting.

Galen Rupp ran hard, yet stayed within himself. Did he face discomfort? Of course. His last mile was just getting through

Galen, Meb, Jared. Photo by PhotoRun.net

with a uncomfortable experience, but Rupp was winning and feeling uncomfortable is part of the game at this level.

Meb Keflezighi kept his cool, and protected his margin. Jared Ward swept past Tyler Pennel, put 1:57 on himself and kept a safe margin of 1:12 over the surging Luke Puskedra.

Rupp won the race in 2:11:12, in his debut, winning his debut just like his coach did only three decades ago. His time was sixth fastest time in Olympic Trials history. Galen was quite ebullent, yet tired, on his victory: “I am very excited with the way it went. Tremendous honor to represent the United States. It is the greatest honor on earth.

I am so hapy to be able to make my devut here and to be able to win was unbelievable. I am so honored to be going to the Olympics.”

Meb Keflezighi, making his fourth Olympic team, ran 2:12:20 to take the second position. A tremendous race for the 40 year old super star. Meb noted, ” I was cramping a bit early in the race but delft better a little after halfway.”

In third, Jared Ward, coached by Ed Eyestone, who ran 2:13:00. Ed Eyestone, Ward’s coach, made two Olympic teams and was quite pleased with Ward’s buildup. Jared noted, of his first Olympic team: “With 600 meters to go, I started singing that song and changing the words. I said, “do it for your momma, do it for your wife, do it for your kids, and do it for your life. It was just enough of it and that was the end of it.”

Luke Puskedra ran a smart race, finishing fourth place! Tyler Pennel, the man Meb and Galen credit with breaking open the race, took fifth. And Matt Llano, HOKA ONE ONE Northern Arizona Elite, took sixth, in 2:15:16.

The team for Rio is strong. That Meb and Galen battled it out is no surprise. Jared Ward and Luke Puskedra is the new generation of marathoners showing their presence and Matt Llano joins that group. Some tought DNFs, with Dathan Ritzenhein and Tyler McCandless, but, that again, is part of a race or competition of this level.

Did the heat play a role in today’s race? A huge role, but how does one think the weather will be in RIO? Huge number of runners did not finish, with 166 men starting and 105 men finishing.

NEUTRAL—3 MOTION STABILIZING—4 PERFORMANCE—5

SHOE REVIEW

Finding the best shoe for you has traditionally begun by assessing the characteristics of your feet and gait, and then matching them with the features and properties of a particular shoe. If you had a neutral gait, then your need for specialized shoes was reduced. However, if you rolled to the inside of your foot, called overpronation, the thinking was that you required a more heavily supported shoe. This approach was based on the science and construction-based solutions of 30 years ago. The notion of overpronation, and the thinking behind it, continued until recently. The (oversimplified) idea was that overpronation was bad and required a design solution to “correct” it. Runners who overpronated risked injury if they didn’t run in shoes that employed a structure to correct the excessive motion.

The recent minimalist movement (think: unstructured shoes, thinner/minimal midsoles, zero-drop shoes, etc.) set in motion an exploration and rethinking of these longheld tenets. Yes, the use of geometry and lighter materials have improved running shoes and their performance. But more importantly, this has resulted in a paradigm shift toward the understanding that running shoes by themselves don’t prevent overuse injuries because they can’t control overpronation. This doesn’t mean the accepted stabilizing technologies are unnecessary. They actually help resist the premature breakdown of the shoe’s structure and performance, playing a key role in the comfort of both your runs and your wallet. They just can’t stop the motion that your feet are inclined to take.

The motion of general foot types is best served, first by certain footwear properties, components, and designs, and, second by an individual runner’s preferences for fit and feel. Of the two, fit and feel trump properties, components, and designs. All feet pronate and some, depending on their movement patterns, pronate more than others. That’s why what we suggest is a starting point within the categories of running footwear styles, but it’s only a starting point. Runners are very fond of their go-to shoes, and a large percentage of runners have been guided toward a particular shoe at the suggestion of a running specialty store. That suggestion starts the learning process for what works for the runners. With all the services your local running specialty store provides, it’s a great place to start your search.

2016 Spring Shoe Review Since I ran in my first sneakers 44 years ago, the technology has changed. More brands mean better products and safer, more enjoyable running and racing. My first real running shoes, Onitsuka Tiger Cortez, were followed by adidas Interval track spikes. My brightly colored Nike waffle racers in 1975 were a revelation. Then I broke 5:00 for the mile in Brooks’ Villanova spikes. My first hour-run champs and 10,000m on the track were contested in Nike Pre Montreals. My 1976 Christmas Relays’ leg of 10.6 miles was run in New Balance racing flats. In 1978 I learned about Mizuno and ran in them for a while.

In the last couple of years as I built back up to two hours of near-daily walking, I’ve been in HOKA ONE ONE Stinsons, adidas Boost, and Brooks Beast. My first try in Skechers Go Walks were amazing—lighter than ever, yet great for my back!

I’m sure that you’ve got your own “scrapbooks” of shoe memories. We hope you’ll read our reviews, then visit your local running store and find the best shoes for your needs.

NEUTRAL 361º Shield

$

110

HOKA ONE ONE Vanquish 2

$

170

MBT GT16

The running line from 361˚ continues to broaden, adding more shoes in key categories.

The Shield debuts in the Neutral category and is geared toward providing performance without breaking the bank. The upper is open mesh in the rearfoot with engineered mesh in the forefoot. Overlays at the toe and saddle shape and support the upper, and articulation at the lacing allows the shoe to conform to the midfoot and securely wrap the instep. The midsole features a new configuration of EVA and 361˚’s Qu!kfoam. The EVA makes up most of the midsole with a framework for the Qu!kfoam in the full heel and the forefoot’s center for added cushioning under the highest-pressure areas. The result is effective shock attenuation that’s durable enough to stand up to serious training. The outersole is a thin layer of rubber, well textured for grip, and segmented into nearly a dozen islands to flex as required as the foot twists and bends through the gait. The quality of the cushioning, fit, and durability at this price makes the Shield an excellent value.

“Good fit and cushioning. Impressed with the cushioning and performance. You can put them on and forget about them.”

HOKA ONE ONE’s acknowledged strength has been its maximum cushioning. The Vanquish 2 carries high the banner established by the Mafate and other models that launched the brand. The upper is closed mesh with 3D-printed overlays and splashy graphics. The fit is closer than some of its other models, but it’s pretty true to size. The midsole is two layers: a cradle of High Cushion EVA nestled into a High Rebound EVA cage. The 30-millimeter stack height (platform) offers protection, while the 5-millimeter geometry (the height difference between heel and toe) encourages efficiency. The outersole features thin carbon rubber at the perimeter of heel and forefoot and in a strip down the center of the forefoot. The remainder is toughened EVA. The cushioning is obvious, making the shoe great for recovery runs, but the Vanquish 2 is light for its size so it also rolls well at faster paces.

“Fits well, but not super roomy. The cushy ride was what impressed. Really cushioned, but not mushy.

Always surprised by how light they are.”

MBT is shorthand for Masai Barefoot Technology, a brand known for its foot-strengthening designs. The GT16 is the first of three new shoes by MBT developed specifically for running. The upper is a breathable mesh with no-sew, fused overlays supporting the foot with an assist from a traditional toecap and TPU heel counter. The midsole is a maximally cushioned design. But more than that, it’s adapted the MBT concept to a midsole design that features three zones: a cushy heel, a firm pivot beneath the arch, and a rockered forefoot. The outersole is thin, tough rubber that’s got good traction and durability. Where the original walking shoes and sandals were very soft in the heel and firm underfoot, the GT16’s heel is well cushioned but firmer and rocks smoothly to the toe on each stride. The result is a pretty versatile recovery shoe that can handle some serious mileage.

“Good fit with a pretty plush interior. The heel is nicely cushioned, but the best thing about the ride was how the foot rolls with the shoe.”

Exhibiting some New England pragmatism, New Balance has done the inevitable, combining its best foam with its best Neutral shoe, resulting in the new Fresh Foam 1080. The upper is a closed mesh with a traditional saddle, featuring decoupled eyelets to wrap the foot effectively and securely. A smooth lining and plush ankle collar foam provide a deluxe feel against the foot. The midsole features Fresh Foam, with its lively feel and good protection. The shoe’s interior benefits from EVA Strobel board construction and a cushy polyurethane sockliner. The outersole is a full-length, hexagonal-shaped rubber compound that offers durability and good grip, while lateral flex grooves make this Fresh Foam configuration more flexible and responsive. A carbon rubber heel cap completes the deal. The sum of all this is an effective distance trainer. In fact, it’s so effective, it earned our award as the Best Shoe in the Neutral category.

“Really pleased with the fit, and the feel was premium. Great cushioning and responsiveness. I could get used to this.”

Pearl Izumi’s EMotion flagship, the N2, has been a reliable performer, and Round 3 stays true to that mission. The upper is a stretchy, closed mesh, completely supported by no-sew overlays. A new foam layer in the tongue softens the feel, while its large open spaces offer good ventilation through the mesh outer layer. Though the supporting overlays have been pared back slightly, their 3D-printed placement continues to hold the foot effectively. The midsole has been known for being pretty firm, which is why it has a responsive feel—it transfers energy efficiently—and its proven design continues without change, which will be good news to its fans. The outersole continues with Round 2’s fullcontact design, which does two things: It improves the friction between the shoe and the ground, providing better traction and it offers maximum stability throughout the contact.

The lateral midfoot—not coincidentally the area of lowest wear—is the only area of the sole which is toughened foam. The result is a smooth-riding, high-mileage shoe.

“Comfortable, smooth fit that tempted me to go without socks. Protective but in a subtle way, not a marshmallow.”

MOTION STABILIZING adidas Ultra Boost ST

Motion Stabilizing Spring 2016

Altra Provision 2.5

The design and engineering of adidas’ Boost material have provided a ride that has great cushioning. Now with the introduction of the Ultra Boost ST, it has a shoe with stability to match. The upper is a stretchy, engineered mesh with different “zones.” The forefoot offers the most stretch with a band-like, bunion-friendly region over the metatarsals. The midfoot features a supportive TPU saddle that cradles the foot and anchors the lacing.

The heel features the same thermoplastic heel counter and pull-on tab seen in its sibling, the Ultra Boost. The midsole is also the same: all Boost foam with bouncy, durable cushioning. The medial side is filled in beneath the arch for extra support on contact. On the medial sidewall, a thermoplastic support links the saddle to the outersole, stabilizing the ride without affecting the cushioning. The outersole is a Continental rubber compound that stretches elastically to keep the sole’s shape consistent through the gait.

Its combination of a resilient ride, good stability, and accommodating fit earned the Ultra Boost ST our award for Best Shoe in the Motion Stabilizing category.

“The stability converted this skeptic. Fit well, great cushion, and stable.”

Known for its zero-drop platform, Altra has a number of shoes over multiple categories.

The Provision 2.5 is an intermediate update—Altra’s nod to a partial overhaul. In this case it’s the upper that gets the attention, with closed mesh and no-sew overlays providing support over the toes and through the saddle and with a stitched toe bumper shaping the height of the forefoot. The midsole is A-BOUND, a resilient foam that’s deeply segmented over a full-contact bottom to stabilize the foot by conforming to the running surfaces. A taller medial sidewall hinders too much inward roll. The outersole is a tough rubber compound that’s intersected by myriad flex grooves that also add traction. If you’re looking for a zero-drop shoe to add to your rotation, the Provision 2.5’s generous fit, stability, and geometry make it worthy of your consideration.

“Great toe room and cushioning. They were protective and durable. Still getting used to the zero drop.”

The 2000 series is well known for its decades-long reputation for smooth cushioning and stability. This update, Round 4 since its numerical reset to 2000, continues to provide the expected performance. The upper is now a slightly stretchy mesh with small openings instead of the closed mesh of its predecessor. No-sew overlays make the interior a bit smoother, without giving up the shaping or needed support of the upper. A new saddle shores up the midfoot, and its medial side is composed primarily of traditional overlays to handle support duties. The midsole is still FluidRide: several layers and densities, including GEL in the lateral heel and DuoMax in the medial arch, with a topmost layer of foam next to the foot. The outersole has the usual minor changes, but the flex grooves between the rubber pods follow the same path as Round 3. The best news is that the stability, ride, and fit have been well maintained in this high-mileage training shoe.

“Very stable, well cushioned, and for me, the ASICS fit is predictably good.”

The Ravenna is the most versatile shoe in the Brooks lineup, neatly splitting the difference between cushioning and stability. The upper features only no-sew overlays to smooth the upper more than Round 6, simplifying the design in the process. The saddle continues with the effective strap and Ghilley lace setup to snug the midfoot, and the closed mesh does a surprisingly effective job of allowing the foot to breathe. The midsole tooling is smoothed, though the sidewall shaping and compression lines deliver the same feel. The reworked outersole is sparser, with few areas of solid rubber, and the weight savings is significant—almost an ounce! The flex grooves give the shoe better flexion without compromising stability. Runners new to the Ravenna and longtime fans alike will find much to be praised in this solid shoe.

“Secure fit, nice and stable, plenty of cushion.

What more could I ask?”

The Inspire has faithful followers because it has consistently delivered the ride and stability they expect from Mizuno shoes. The upper is open minimesh, similar to several of its recent predecessors because it breathes well. A return to traditional overlays in the rearfoot better supports the foot, and they work with the sole shape to keep the foot lined up. The midsole continues with U4ic foam and sports a new heel crashpad of U4icX, a livelier compound. A PU insole and foam Strobel board work with the midsole to give the ride a plusher feel. The outersole is still carbon rubber in the heel and blown rubber in the forefoot, though fewer flex grooves on the bottom and more in the sidewall make the cushioning and flexibility more effective than before. Large runners and those who steamroll shoes will find the Inspire is brawny enough to roll right back.

“I have worn them for over 3 months. They grip well and put up with my Clydesdale punishment.

They don’t interfere with my mechanics during running, they just keep going.”

MOTION STABILIZING Saucony Hurricane ISO 2

RENOVATION Spring 2016

The Hurricane has undergone more change in two generations than it has in most of the previous 16 combined. It starts with an update to the ISO fit saddle (aptly named ISO 2).

Minimesh and fused overlays complete the forefoot, and an external thermoplastic heel counter secures the foot over the sole. But it’s in the midsole where the magic begins.

A new compound that Saucony calls Everun puts a layer of blown TPU foam near the foot and a more resilient foam in the midsole. The compound’s flexibility allows better flexion with the foot’s motion and has a great feel to it. The outersole is a newly designed chevron pattern that adapts to a variety of angles, eliminating much of the stiffness experienced in many motion-controlling shoe designs. The stable ride, cushioning, and fit combine to earn the Hurricane ISO 2 our award for Best Renovation.

“I’ve been impressed with the Hurricane for years.

This round is like a whole other level: comfy, durable, great fit. Now I’m really impressed.”

The Skechers GOrun line adds a new shoe designed for cushioned stability. Called the Forza, it’s Kara Goucher’s shoe of choice. The upper is a closed stretch mesh supported by no-sew overlays, and a saddle of thicker, fused film secures the foot effectively through the lacing. The midsole is a bouncy foam formulation with a 30-millimeter stack height that lends a cushy feel. A second density of foam and the full-contact geometry offer their own effective stabilizing properties. The outersole is carbon rubber from heel to midfoot, and the forefoot is primarily toughened foam with rubber in key wear areas. The fit, stability, and cushy ride make the Forza well suited to both regular training and recovery runs.

“Hadn’t tried Skechers so didn’t know what to expect. Good fit, cushion, stability. That’s a good running shoe!”

The Neuro is a new Brooks shoe that’s both lightweight and adaptable, designed for maximizing fast, efficient running. The upper is a dual-layer, engineered mesh. The outer layer is a tough, gauze-like mesh supported by 3D-printed overlays while the inner layer is a light and breathable open mesh. Ghilley lace loops sandwiched between the mesh layers secure well while still adjusting to the moving foot, providing an adaptive fit. The midsole is a segmented arrangement of BioMoGO foam, with round Propulsion pods in the rearfoot and with Guidance Plates along the medial and lateral sides (taller ones medially and more uniform laterally) that flex as the foot passes over them. The 6mm geometry and flexible feel contribute to its go-fast purpose. The outersole is a collection of carbon rubber islands whose spaces allow the shoe to flex with the foot as it twists through the gait. The Neuro’s lightness and flexibility make it well suited to faster running, longer races, and speedwork.

“Really flexible. Let my foot feel free to run. Nice fit, plenty of cushion. They can really move.”

The Tracer is a first for HOKA ONE ONE—a speedster with a traditional stack height—so expect a few double-takes when you wear them. The upper is a two-layer mesh composed of an open underlayer covered by a minimesh, with splashy graphics to identify the shoe.

Fused overlays lend a measure of support so the mesh of the upper holds its shape well.

The fit leans toward the snug side so size accordingly. The midsole is two densities, which HOKA calls Pro2Lite, and it’s a novel approach as the forefoot is quite firm while the heel is softer to manage the cushioning and spring needed by each part of the shoe. Like its HOKA siblings it features what has become a sort of midrange geometry, here 4mm of drop. The outersole is tough carbon rubber that’s thin and spaced sparingly, though sufficiently. The Tracer’s combination of light weight, springy and cushioned ride, and racerlike fit cater to faster running and racing.

“Once again, HOKA brings a shoe that was not what I expected. Fit nice and snug, races well, but with enough underfoot for any time I want a fast feel.”

Mizuno’s new Catalyst is a welcome addition to its line, slotting into the void left by the Elixir. The upper is a two-layered mesh: wide open underneath, minimesh on top.

Traditional overlays support the toe, medial rearfoot, and lace throat with the Runbird logo forming a semisaddle and no-sew overlays running the length of the lateral side.

The midsole has a substantial feel, low-slung but firm, especially in the heel, and the fan wave plate provides support and stability. The U4ic foam formulation has a responsive feel and good protection for long-distance runs. The outersole is X-10 carbon rubber in the heel and the lateral forefoot, which is great news for midfoot/forefoot strikers. Blown rubber covers the medial forefoot and toe. The combination of good stability and a light, responsive feel makes the Wave Catalyst suited to daily training, tempo runs, and even longer races.

“Love running in this shoe. I get a feel of the road with adequate cushioning and a springy feel.”

The Fresh Foam Zante’s introduction last year turned more than a few heads, and ushered in some speedier profiles for the brand. Round 2 throws in a few needed tweaks and keeps rolling down the fast track. The upper continues with its adaptable stretch mesh with little structure, and no-sew overlays lend support to shape the upper. The new design of the midfoot and lace throat permits the laces to adapt independently to secure the foot, and the roomy forefoot has been maintained. The midsole is Fresh Foam—its comfortable ride is the real strength of the shoe—and the sculpting fine tunes Round 1. The outersole is a thin, full-contact, rubber layer with different-sized hexagons and texturing delivering traction. The size and positioning of the hexagons create multiple flex points in the sole and have improved the traction over its predecessor. The Zante is a light, flexible shoe that’s well suited to faster running, whether long races or tempo runs, while being durable enough for daily training.

“Great cushioning and flexibility. Light, fit just right, and fast.”

Now in its fifth iteration, the Gravity has been the archetype for the Newton line for almost a decade. Round 5 maintains its technological core while freshening up the appearance and materials. The upper features an engineered stretch mesh for flexibility at the toe. Over the metatarsals they’ve used a smooth, closed mesh that’s supported by streamlined no-sew overlays for a forgiving stretchy feel in the bunion window. A new tongue offers a better feel and is anchored to the eyestay to prevent it from slipping side to side. The rearfoot has a stiffer mesh, with no-sew overlays tying into the logo stripes for support in a mini saddle-like design below the lace throat. The midsole has been resculpted to improve the ride, with better flexibility and cushioning. The contours of the insole have ameliorated the uneven feeling some runners experience in the area of the action/reaction membrane and lugs. The outersole has been retooled with attention to placement: The forefoot lug unit is inset into the midsole for a better foot/ground interaction, and new texturing of the rubber provides a bit better grip. This update succeeds in improving the overall ride and feel of the shoe.

“The Newtons have been a favorite fast-paced shoe for me, and I was really impressed with this update. [They] fit great. Smoothest ride yet. I haven’t found a downside in performance.”

The Lunar Tempo was a descendant of the Lunar Elite and Luna Racer, and Round 2 continues that genetic link to performance. The upper is a tighly woven Flyknit with no-sew overlays to lend a touch of support, shaping the toe for a more effective fit than Round 1. Adjustments have been made to the Flywire, reducing the number from five to four, and a reshaped eyestay gives a little more material to snug the top of the foot.

The conforming upper has little structure, so your foot can settle in as is its wont, and the lightness and performance of Round 1 is untouched here. The midsole is a tough and resilient shell, with a softer cushioning layer inside. Though the Tempo’s midsole appears almost fragile, it most certainly is not, with a durability that contradicts its appearance.

The outersole is just a few squares of rubber in the highest-wear portions—three in the heel, six in the toe, three on the lateral forefoot—with toughened foam making up the remainder. The combination of these components in a shoe that’s almost racer light, but with the toughness to handle faster training, earned the Lunar Tempo 2 our award for Best Performance Shoe.

“Good fit overall. Started out as my speed day shoe, but with plenty of cushion and good traction, it ended up handling more of my training than that.”

The Cloudflyer is the second shoe for which On has converted its Cloud technology to an EVA platform. The result is a Swiss-engineered delight, a well-cushioned, sturdy shoe, that’s lighter than expected. The upper is semi-open mesh over the toes with closed mesh over the tongue and saddle, extending around the heel. A no-sew toecap gives the toes plenty of room, and since it links to the bottom of the eyestay, the laces have an extra criss-cross to snug the midfoot. The midsole is two densities of EVA, softer in the forefoot, with eight of the cloudtec Clouds, and firm over the heel with four Clouds. The ride exhibits the attention to detail for which On is known, hitting the sweet spot of resilience and protection, without giving up the necessary durability. The 7mm geometry makes it more efficient, to boot. The outersole is a thin rubber layer over the heel and angled across the toes, with toughened foam under the arch. Its performance, versatility, and design earned the Cloudflyer our award for Best New Shoe.

“Started as my everyday trainer, graduated to my marathon shoe. I need another pair. These are awesome.”

The Kinvara has been the heavyweight of the lightweights—not in weight, but in heft.

Round 7 shows no sign of changing that, with new materials and improved performance.

The upper is a mixture of closed mesh over the vamp and rearfoot. There’s open mesh over the toes and no-sew overlays where extra support is needed without contributing much extra weight. The midsole is lightweight, but with enough underfoot for fasterpaced training, tempo runs, and long races. Round 7 steps up the performance further with the introduction of Everun—a new construction—and the introduction of a blown TPU layer that gives the shoe another level of protection to go with its snappy ride. The outersole is still sparse: a well-placed pattern of rubber chevrons on lateral rearfoot and medial forefoot, the rest toughened foam. The bottom line? The Kinvara 7 is a lightweight, tough shoe for faster running and racing that can also handle a good share of daily training for efficient runners.

“A shoe this light that fits well and works for long runs is great. This one is a real upgrade.”

Carolina, not the easiest place to run. I did so well during the holidays that I reached my goal several days before New Year’s Eve. However, that posed another dilemma: Should I try to run 3,650 miles so I can say I averaged 10.0 miles per day as a 60-year old? After my morning run on December 31 my log showed I was at 3,629 miles, or 9.94 miles a day. The thought of running another 21 miles (my morning run consisted of eight miles; eight very hilly, very challenging miles) was on my mind most of the day, up until the time the sun set and I turned my attention to watching college football.

As I said, I’m not totally cured but I’m certainly making progress. I felt pretty good (translation: I didn’t dwell on it) about not finishing 2015 with 3,650 miles. As I do every year, I reported my annual and lifetime mileage to *Steve DeBoer who in turn posts this information on the runeveryday.com website. Steve noticed a discrepancy in my mileage from the prior year’s tally and after I thoroughly dissected my running log I discovered a mistake: I shorted myself eight miles in 2015. In other words I would have only needed 13 more miles the afternoon of Dec. 31 to reach 3,650 miles for the year.

On the plus side my average miles per day elevated to 9.96 miles that, when rounded up is an ‘imperfect’10. However, the feeling in my stomach when I realized I was this close to a perfect 10.0 was all I needed to know about my OCD: It is still very much alive in me. *Remember what I said earlier about my mileage paling in comparison to others?

Steve has run more lifetime miles than me, and his consecutive days running streak has me by a few years. Also, I’ve always prided myself on not needing to run in tights unless the temperature dropped below 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Steve uses the same criteria to determine when he needs to run in a shirt.

My remaining statistical goals at this time are to extend my consecutive days running streak to 40 years and to reach 150,000 lifetime miles by my 65th birthday.

If I can reach both of those, anything else would be icing on the cake.

That is, as long as my OCD is gone by then.

What did he tell me? Well, he gave me a choice. It went something like this: “The only thing left to do is surgery. It's a three part surgery; f ix the fractures, f ix the torn ligament, f ix the torn tendon. You will be in severe pain for at least 3 months. You will be in a hard cast for 12 months, unable to drive. And there is only a 50/50 chance that the surgery will work.”

Okay. What would you do? Your choice might be different from mine.

I've run almost 800 races. My best days of running fast are long gone. I don't believe I can get by without driving for a year, and I'm no longer young and seem to have trouble recovering from injuries. I don't think I want to be on strong pain killers for 3 months of severe pain. But maybe, maybe, maybe I should do it. But I couldn't do it. So I know I will never be able to run again. But by not having the surgery I don't run the risk of being unable to walk without crutches. So for me the decision was the only decision. A 50 percent change of success was not good enough. No surgery. No running So what happens a year after your last run? You go through denial, as I did. You dream about running, or at least it seems I do about once a week.

Some of the race dreams seem so real, except the pace is faster than I ever ran - I never held a 6 minute pace longer than 10 miles, but in a recent dream I was running a marathon and got to the 20 mile mark in 2 hours wow, was I unhappy when one of our cats woke me up - I'll never know if I would have held the pace the entire way.

You keep thinking maybe you'll be able to run again. You put on weight if you keep eating the same amount you did when you ran regular mileage.

You try bike riding, but it isn't the same. You try swimming, you try . . . whatever, but for Kathy and me there is no real substitute for the freedom and joy of running.

Of course there are some general tips that apply to getting a good night's sleep any night, not just before a race. Your room should be dark. Shut those curtains as tightly as possible and turn out all lights. Turn down that alarm clock light.

Light can interfere with your natural circadian rhythms. Your room should also be comfortably cool. Try to have the temperature at 68 degrees or below. Body temperature drops during sleep and a cool room can aid the process. If there is noise you may want to try some ear plugs.

Experiment with different types well before your big race and find the ones that reduce noise the most while also being comfortable. Constant white background noise can also aid in relaxation and sleep.

A softly running air conditioner or fan can help block noise and provide a consistent background level of sound. You can also purchase actual white noise devices which are small and pack in a travel bag. I personally know numerous people who never travel without their white noise device.

Certain foods can also help or hinder sleep. Of course, try to avoid fatty foods which are hard to digest and could cause indigestion or acid reflux. Most runners generally avoid such foods, but be sure to avoid fatty foods the night before a race.

Stick to what you know works and don't experiment. Some foods may actually enhance sleep. Almonds, turkey, cherries, bananas and yes, warm milk contain high levels of the amino acid tryptophan with is converted to serotonin and melatonin in the brain, both of which help promote sleep. So about an hour before bedtime maybe have a small snack of some of these foods. Melatonin is available in supplement form, but it's probably a good idea to consult your physician before using such a supplement, especially if you are taking any prescription drugs. Always, always, always remember don't try something the night before a race that you haven't tried earlier. Don't take chances.

So the night before a big race, trust your preparation, trust your effort and imagine running like you want to run. Reduce your stress, reduce exposure to light, have a comfortable sleeping environment and eat smart. It's no guarantee of a good night's sleep, but the odds are increased. Sweet dreams! Run fast!

and run a little more the next day instead.

And if it's cold outside? Bundle up! Or maybe not… There are very few runners who have not fallen into the trap of overdressing. If it's in the 20's outside we may think we need several layers, because we feel cold when we start out. But if you are comfortable at the outset of the run, it won't take long before you feel hot and start shedding layers. Even experienced runners like me tend to overdress. It's a habit that is very hard to shake. So, remember that if you feel a little chilly as you start your run, you are dressed just right! You will feel comfortable after a mile or two.

Unless it's also windy, that is! During high winds, plan your route so that you face the wind on your way out, if at all possible. You may want to wear a windbreaker that you can tie around your waist if you feel hot later on in your run.

Rain can be a pain! A drizzle not so much, but a torrential downpour is not fun to run in. Nor is a cold, steady rain. I try to avoid running in the rain when I can. If I have to run in the rain (during a race, for example), or think I might be caught in it, I carry a plastic bag with pre-cut holes for my head and arms. For races I always take a clear bag from the cleaners, in case I decide to wear it beyond the warm-up.

Heat can also be hard to avoid, especially here in Florida. Although by running early in the morning we can minimize the impact. This is one reason my running club, Gulf Coast Runners, are meeting at 6 am for our Saturday long runs. And water is a must for long runs in the heat! I wear a belt with pockets for smaller bottles.

I have found that I can cope with heat fairly well as long as I run in the shade.

Humidity is a different animal though, and for me it's the real “killer”! Again, water is our best friend, both before and during the run. Maybe supplemented with an electrolyte drink.

Then there's snow - at least in some parts of the country. I would run on it, although slow and easy. Running in a foot of snow though - or more - would be close to impossible. Likewise running on ice!

It's during times like these when it is great to have an exercise bike or treadmill at home.

Last but not the least, let's not forget the sunny, cool and perfect days, which are the reason we run! Well, maybe not the only reason - but it is a joy to be a runner on those days. They are the reward for Richard Ferguson is Chair of the Physical Education, Wellness, and Sport putting up with running in less than perScience Department of Averett University fect conditions.

MASTERS RUNNING CONTINUED FROM PAGE 31 It would have been so nice if Jan. 17 had been such a day. But as we all know, we can't control Mother Nature.

She dishes out whatever weather she wants. And that day there was rain, thunder, winds and tornadoes on the menu for Naples. Now all we can do is hope for a nice day for next year's half marathon. At least we can be pretty sure the weather will be better than it was this year!

In the meantime, I will be running the Sarasota Music Half Marathon on Feb. 7. Since I had done several long runs to prepare for the Naples Half, I didn't want to see all those miles go to waste. So I immediately looked for a “replacement” race, and a friend had recommended this one. My fingers are crossed for no thunderstorms and tornadoes that morning - and I hope our boss Mother Nature will deliver!

Runners from Eight States Visit Salisbury -- Women’s Course Record Still Intact

By David Freeze SALISBURY, NC - With runners in town from eight states and as far away as New York and Florida, the 33rd Annual Novant Health Winter Flight 8K, Health Walk 5K and Fun Run all hit the pavement on Sunday afternoon, Jan. 31.

While there was great expectation of a fast women’s field possibly challenging the female course record, warm temperatures and headwinds on the last half of the course took their toll. The warm temperatures were an exact opposite of the cold and snowy weather of the previous weekend. All events were started and finished at Catawba College.

The 2016 version of Winter Flight was part of the Running Journal Grand Prix and was the Road Runners Club of America 8K North Carolina Championship.

Grace Kahura, originally from Kenya and now living in Katone, NY, went out hard while chasing the existing record of 26 minutes and 48 seconds set by Olympian Joan Nesbitt in 1992.

Kahura said, “I wanted to average three-minute kilometers and was on pace till somewhere between miles two and three. The hills on the course were tough and I knew that I wouldn’t break the record. I was just glad to come to Salisbury and meet so many nice people. I would love to come back and challenge the course again.

Andris Goncarovs was the overall winner with a time of 26 minutes and 50 seconds. He was followed by last year’s Running Journal Grand Prix Champion Matt Longworth in second with a time of 27:26 and Catawba College cross country coach Jason Bryan in 28:36.

Andris Goncarovs Kahura paced the women with a time of 28 minutes and 57 seconds, with Natalie Lawrence clocking 29:46 to take second and perennial winner Molly Nunn taking third in 30:33. Nunn said, The heat and wind made it a tough day for me. However, I am grateful to have been able to take part even though it was a challenge.

Tom McCormack of Jonesborough, TN, had possibly the best race of the day with his 30:12 to take the top grandmaster’s spot as a 62 year old.

Mav Spears won the half mile fun run by less than a quarter second over Grace Eppehimer.

Both ran 3:21 and a fraction.

Chris Smith, defensive end for the Jacksonville Jaguars was the official starter and Neal Wilkinson offered his spectacular version of the National Anthem just before the 8K race.

Sponsors for the event in addition to Novant Health were the City of Salisbury, Catawba College, the Trophy House, Fowler Physical Therapy, Ralph Baker Shoes, Vac and Dash of Albemarle, Ameriprise Financial Mike Wright, the Forum, Bradshaw Financial Planning, Brent Parks, CPA, David Post Law, Community Grocery of Cleveland, Civitan Club of Salisbury, the Salisbury Post, Whimziggy, Cleveland Drug, Dr. Acquawon Stallworth, F&M Bank, Cheerwine and Koontz and Smith, Attorneys at Law. Salisbury Rowan Runners Vice President Steve Clark said, “This is truly a community effort to provide a top flight event and to raise the proceeds for Rowan Helping Ministries. Thanks to our fantastic sponsors and all the volunteers and I am sure glad that we didn’t have this race during the ice and snow of last weekend.
