This Running Life Tom Green's Biggest Challenge Tom Green did not cross the finish line at the Umstead 100-Mile Endurance Run at Raleigh, NC, to great fanfare and loud cheers, but while he deserved it, he neither needed nor wanted it.

The 50-mile ultramarathon distance he covered in 14 hours and 45 minutes was a triumph in itself, and it was the longest distance Green's two feet have taken him since a treetrimming accident nearly ended his running career and his life less than a year ago.

For average fans of distance running, Green's return to the ultramarathon circuit may seem no less than miraculous, but his friends and fellow runners would rather attribute his comeback to the ingredients that make up Tom Green- a strong spirit, a stubborn streak a mile long and willpower made out of cast iron.

The last thing Green remembers about April 20, 2015 is watching the Boston Marathon with his friend Alan Doss.

He vaguely recalls pulling some branches down from a tree in his yard, but the rest of that day and the three weeks that followed are dark.

“I woke up and my sister was there,” he said on the phone recently. “She told me I hit my head and I was in the hospital. I was incredulous.”

Mention the name “Tom Green” to almost any ultramarathon runner or fan and you'll get a story about how he inspires beginners and encourages fellow veterans when they struggle.

Tammy Massie is one of them.

A prolific endurance runner who tackles marathons and ultramarathons almost every weekend, Massie had just completed her ninth Umstead 100-mile race and was gearing up to volunteer at the Bull Run Run 50-miler on April 9, another race Green was planning to tackle.

“I met Tom about 10 years ago when I first started volunteering at the Bull Run Run,” she said. “He is such a gentleman and an inspiring runner. From all of the energy he has given us over the years - we are giving it back to him.”

From cross country races to ultrarunning Green, 65, who started running cross country as a kid, is what sportswriters and pundits might describe as a durable runner. Speed has never been his strong suit, but he always has possessed enough endurance to take him to the finish line of almost any race. His 100-mile PR is 17 hours and 28 minutes at the Vermont100 in 1992. At age 47, he ran 132 miles in the 24-Hour National Championship.

“I never knew an ultramarathon existed until I read about a 100-mile trail run in a magazine,” he said. “And when I read it, I was suckered in. There were photos of middle-aged men, some on the heavy side, and smiling like they were having the time of their lives.”

So at 32 years old, he entered his first ultra - the Old Dominion 100 - and completed 60 miles.

“I thought I was going to die,” he said.

Green considered that first attempt a failure, but he refused to quit. The second time he tried, he completed all 100 miles. The following year he fell short again. Going one for

three wasn't good enough for him, so he set his mind on completing every single ultramarathon that existed.

It was 1986, and there were just four ultras: Vermont, Wasatch, Leadville and Western States. To run all four in the same year became like the holy grail of running and it was anointed the Grand Slam of Ultramarathons.

Other runners tried and failed, but Green persevered, finishing all four races in a cumulative time of 96 hours, 26 minutes, and 28 seconds, claiming his spot in the history books as ultrarunning's first Grand Slam Champion, and sealing his status as a bona fide running legend.

If you ask Green, this ultimate achievement is not worth fussing over.

“It seemed like it would make a good adventure and a challenge at the time,” he said.

“Back then, people looked at me like I was Superman, but that was the farthest thing from the truth. I was always just an average runner.”

As Massie sees it, Green is a rock star among mere mortals.

“He is super duper famous,” she said. “To me, seeing him at races is like seeing Jon Bon Jovi at a Target.”

The accident Green may not remember much about the

Tom Green sets out on his Umstead 100 Endurance journey at 6 a.m. on April 1, using a baby jogger to help him stay balanced. He suffered a traumatic brain injury a year ago in a tree trimming accident and is mounting his comeback to ultrarunning. He went on to complete 50 miles - a distance PR for him since the accident.

accident that nearly killed him, but Alan Doss remembers every frightening moment.

The two men, who have been friends for more than 30 years, are carpenters and although they live 400 miles apart -- Green in Maryland and Doss in West Virginia -- they often collaborate on projects.

Doss and Green had taken a break after building a split rail fence around Green's property to watch the Boston Marathon. When the race ended, they went back outside to cut down a couple of limbs hanging over Green's garage.

“The limbs jutted out from the tree trunk, parallel to the ground,” Doss explained. “We had decided on a plan for safety, and executed it perfectly.”

The men cut the smallest limb first. When they tackled the second limb, it fell right where it was supposed to but as if it had a mind of its own, it hit the ground, kicked back up and struck Green behind his left ear, nicking his carotid artery, and causing a fracture of the temporal bone.

“Tom fell like a sack of potatoes almost on top of me,” Doss said. “Blood was squirting out of his head wound, and I put my hand over it to make it stop squirting.”

Green was airlifted to the University of Maryland Trauma center in Baltimore where he lay in a coma for two weeks.

Green's wife, Kay, who is a radiology technician, credits Doss for his quick actions that may have saved her husband's life.

“I felt bad for Alan, who witnessed the accident, but he did the right thing by holding Tom's head still, staunching the blood flow and yelling for someone to call 911,” she said while standing around the Umstead course waiting for Tom to pass by on his journey.

In the hospital's intensive care unit, Green's condition was touch and go for days, and no one knew if he would ever be the same. He suffered a cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, and blood clots which caused a stroke, all symptoms of traumatic brain injury that would keep him in a comatose state. When he finally opened his eyes, he still wasn't really there, Kay Green said.

Distance Memories A Perspective on Perspective I realize it's difficult to for a runner to talk about running without dropping numbers.

After all it's practically impossible to tell someone what you've accomplished in a pair of running shoes without them (still talking about numbers here - not runners because some run barefoot, wearing sandals, etc.).

It wouldn't make much sense to tell your neighbor you “ran a race of considerable distance” because that's too vague. Rather, stating you ran 6.2 miles in less than 60 minutes and your pace was just less than nine-minutes per mile makes much more sense and is a lot easier for your neighbor to grasp. Plus, any neighbor who isn't tuned in to running is going to find your accomplishment impressive, mainly because you were able to do something they can't (and most likely because it's something they've never done and have no inclination to ever try) and have no earthly idea if your accomplishment is good, bad or indifferent.

This is where I come in.

But what if you had a neighbor who ran track or cross country in college and was at one time capable of a 32-minute 10K? While this neighbor may not find your time impressive, any runner (or former runner) worth his or her salt will congratulate you nonetheless.

Because that's what runners do: They support one another, even if they have to bite their col-

lective tongue to do it.

What do I mean by 'bite their collective tongue?' It's actually quite simple. If I've learned anything over the miles and the years I've been running it's this: No matter what you've accomplished in your running career, there's someone else who has done it longer, farther, faster and more often than you ever dreamed possible.

Here are a few examples to illustrate my point. Feel free to use them later to put your thoughts and impressions about running back into perspective. After all, that's been my intent from the start: • Runner A tells a neighbor he drove his car to the garage to have some work done, ran the 17 miles back to his house and would run the 17 miles back to the garage when his truck was

www.running.net ready. Runner A's neighbor just so happens to be a friend of Ray Zahab, who ran 4,660 miles in 2006 across the Sahara Desert in 111 days (an average of 42 miles a day).

• Runner B tells a neighbor she ran four marathons in the past 12 months. Runner B's neighbor just so happens to be a friend of Dean Karnazes, who ran 50 marathons in 50 consecutive days in 50 states in 2006. Runner B's neighbor also knows Larry Macon, finisher of 239 marathons. All in the same year (2013).

• Runner C tells a neighbor he ran every single day for an entire six months. Runner C's neighbor just so happens to be a friend of Mark Covert, who recently ended a 45-year streak (that began in 1968) of running every day. Runner C's neighbor also knows Jon Sutherland, who assumed the longest active running streak in the country less than a year after Mark Covert ended his in 2013.

• Runner D tells a neighbor she managed to complete a 100-mile run, the 'hardest thing she's ever done.' Runner D's neighbor just so happens to be a friend of Ed Ettinghausen, who ran 40 races of 100 miles or longer, all in the same year (2014). Runner D's neighbor also knows Mike Morton, who ran 100 miles at a pace quicker than eight-minutes per mile, not to mention covering just over 172 miles in a 24-hour event on another occasion.

• Runner E tells a neighbor he qualified for the 100-mile Western States Endurance Run. Runner E's neighbor just so happens to be a friend of both Tim Twietmeyer (25 sub-24 hour finishes at Western States including five overall wins) and Ann Trason (14 wins at Western States).

Obviously in all five of the examples I pre-

Running Fitness Wearing Your Heart on Your Sleeve or Running Shirt How many of you have so many running shirts that you no longer accept them anymore? “Give them to charity,” you say at the registration table. I've had to move several times in the past year, down-sizing more and more with each move. The shirts have been the first to go.

Of the reasons I give away most of my shirts is because I wear only one shirt to all of the races I do anyway. Because I wrote a book that is still pretty popular, I put the book cover on the front and back of a tech running singlet.

The book cover is very colorful and has a simple design with only the words of the title: “Eat Vegan on $4 Dollars a Day.” People used to come up and stare at the shirt and almost sarcastically go, "Oh really? How? No way!

You can't run on a vegan diet,” they'll say as I'm standing there holding my age group award in my hand.

The first time I wore the shirt I was surprised at how many people noticed and came up and wanted to talk about it. I realized it was a good opportunity to engage and get the conversation going.

What has really changed is the number of people who either tap me on the shoulder dur-

ing the race or come up afterwards and say, “Me, too. I'm vegan, too.” That never used to happen. Now it happens with regularity. I finally believe that after running as a vegan for the better part of 35 years, people, and runners in particular, are seeing how people like me can run back to back 5K races as I did this weekend. One on Saturday, followed by another on Sunday. I placed in my age group both times. They became the 98th and the 99th time I've done that since 2006 "just" on plants.

Of course I had to post this on Facebook. I had more than 100 likes and many comments.

One asked, “How do you stay on a vegan diet?

Where do you get your protein?" That last question is the most common question vegans, especially athletes, get. I referred them to veganbodybuilding.com where you can see both men and women who are very bulked up. Most runners don't want to get like that, but at least the page shows that you can get plenty of protein to build all that muscle.

All plants have some protein. Even a banana has 1 g of protein, and the US government has downsized its daily protein recommendations saying we as a country and culture got too much protein and are suffering too many preventable kidney problems as a result. Protein deficiency is rare in Western cultures. I always ask my audiences, “How many of you have been diagnosed or know somebody who was diagnosed with a protein deficiency?” The answer is usually zero. Then I ask, "How many of you know somebody who has been diagnosed with cancer, heart disease and/or diabetes?” Everybody raises their hand. That's where we should focus our stress.

I often say that the reason so many younger people are vegan is because they grew up in a YouTube generation. There are so many videos that document the abuse on factory farms and

sented there exists an entire spectrum of performances between the numbers the runners 'dropped' and the accomplishments of the various friends and acquaintances of their respective neighbors. As I said before when you are talking about running you always need to keep things in perspective because there will always be someone who has done it longer, farther, faster and more often than you.

Unless someone specifically asks you for your numbers…time, distance, pace-it doesn't matter…it's wise to keep them to yourself.

Don't expose yourself to the risk of being 'one upped.'

It's a game where no one wins.

Just remember: When it comes to running the only one you have to impress -the only one you need to impress - is you.

Scott Ludwig is president and founder of Darkside Running Club (.com). He lives in the Atlanta area and is the author of 11 books -- 7 about running - and is working on others.

Scott's new book “Running to Extremes: The Legendary Athletes of Ultrarunning” is now available. The book features stories of Ray Zahab, Dean Karnazes, Larry Macon, Mark Covert, Ed Ettinghausen, Mike Morton, Tim Twietmeyer, Ann Trason and seven other amazing athletes of long distance running.

You can find it on Amazon and most major booksellers. The book is inspired by, and dedicated to, the enduring memory and legacy of Ted Corbitt. Scott can be reached at darksiderunning@comcast.net. He also has a blog at ScottLudwigRunsandWrites.blogspot.com where his books are available - or at any major online bookstore. so-called "humane" farms (there are no humane farms). With the advent of tiny smart phones that can be taken into any building, slaughter houses now have glass walls. It is hard to stick your head in the sand and pretend that you don't see. With so many ways to get plant-based protein, and all the other great vitamins, minerals and nutrients, it is pretty easy these days to get everything you need.

What it often boils down to for many people, is that they will not ask or pay someone else to do what they themselves are not prepared to do.

So when I wear the vegan shirt, people look at the consistency of my running and placing in my age group and want to know more. They tell me they see my energy and they want what I've got. Research has connected inflammation with the consumption of animal protein which causes inflammation in the joints -- otherwise known as arthritis. I see an increasing number of women in my age group getting arthritis and dropping out. So far, for me, so good. I will keep running on plants, wearing my heart and my message on my sleeves and running shirts until I run out of money to pay registration fees.

Having Ultra Thoughts Once Again

Thrilling Finish at 39th Gate River Run

It's fun to look back at past articles and blog entries I have written to reminisce and see how far I've come. This month my first ultra has been on my mind. I ran 57 miles back on June 2, 2012. Truth is, I never thought I would ever do one yet somehow I found the perfect ultra for me. It was the Tornado Alley 57 Miler. It was designed as a relay, similar to Ragnar and Keys 100 type events. However, I decided to run the whole thing myself with my incredible husband as my crew.

I felt a calling to do it because the course followed the path of the tornado that ripped through western Massachusetts on June 1, 2011 and it benefitted all the towns affected by the tornado, including my hometown of Monson, which was hit the hardest.

Training and fundraising for it became so important, not like any race I had ever run before. My hometown was devastated from this tornado. My family was caught in it. This was personal.

When I trained, I wore my blue and white Monson Tornado Relief rubber bracelet so I would always have that reminder when the back-to-back long runs in the Florida heat and humidity took their toll. I would always press on and finish because it wasn't just for me this time. I survived a little over three months of ultra training in the late spring/early summer in southwest Florida. I felt prepared, well as prepared as I could be jumping into the unknown.

Speaking of unknown, I did not know how I would handle an entire day of running alone.

The relay teams would pass by me and once in a while I would pass a slower relay runner but other than the relay exchange zones, which were where I met my husband for refueling and changing gear, I was alone.

Given the challenges that elite athlete coordinator Richard Fannin faced this year, he nevertheless delivered, as the USATF National 15K Championship at the 39th Gate River Run was the closest and most exciting finish ever.

Fannin faced the daunting task of recruiting his usual stellar field, competing with the Olympic Marathon Trials, national indoor championships, and other large races all held within four weeks of each other in this busy Olympic year. Fannin never disappoints and he did not this year as he brought in a whole new class of racers with most of the 60-plus elites in their 20s.

As I checked runners in on Friday and Saturday I was amazed at their spirit and their appreciation of being invited to such a stellar championship. They were excited and polite and raring to go. It is really refreshing to see the next generation of runners making their debuts.

The equalizer went off with about 30 women starting six minutes ahead of the men. Hitting the mile in 5:12 on a warm and muggy morning the pack quickly was down to five ladies with Lindsey Scherf taking the lead with Tara Welling, Alisha Williams, Katie Matthews and Hilary Montgomery in tow as they passed two miles in 10:34.At the first water stop before three miles neither Scherf nor Welling took any water and they quickly separated themselves from the rest. They passed three miles in 16:07 and hit 5K at 16:43. Mile four passed in 21:35 then Welling began an increased cadence and quickly had an eight second lead which had grown by 15 seconds by mile 5 (27.:00). Scherf was caught and began working with Matthews and Montgomery in the chase pack. Welling looked back as she hit mile six in 32:22 and she could see no one. 10K was 33:39 and Welling looked quite relaxed and did not seem to be laboring in the heat skipping most of the water stations. As she passed seven in 38:00 and 12K at 40:31 she was looking around and taking in the sights. She looked to be a girl just out having a nice spring run. We heard the men were closing but had yet to catch sight of any lead vehicles. Topping the green monster Hart Bridge and mile eight in 43:36, Welling had the female victory secured.

As she came down the bridge we could see three men battling each other for the dominant position. Welling was all alone and being gained on quickly. As she made the turn with 200 meters to go she had no idea how far the finish line was so she kicked. The men were doing the same as the crowd roared. Welling held off the three chasers by two seconds which was the closest margin separating the men's and women's winners since the introduction of the equalizer in 2004. It was a grand day for memorable debuts as this was Welling's first Gate, and also Stanley Kebenei's first Gate, and first road race of any kind. Kebenei finished the last mile in a sizzling 4:08 followed closely

by Shadrack Kipchirchir, 2014 NCAA runnerup in the 10K, and national 25K record holder Christo Landry.

Welling was thrilled to win a national title and having met the first woman at the finish for

Elated after 57 miles.

By Rae Ann Darling Reed

I am a little biased because I grew up there, but western Massachusetts is really beautiful - rural and scenic. Emotions were definitely running high seeing the destruction from the tornado but also the regrowth and rebuilding in my hometown and in all the towns along the 57 mile route. At one point I was running down a hilly road that zig zagged back and forth and I could see the fog and sun rising over the greenest field and trees and I was overwhelmed with emotion. I felt my grandfather “Bepa” was with me. He passed away on my birthday in 2009. It wasn't like I was specifically thinking about him in that moment, but I felt his presence so strongly. He loved to run in his youth and he was always so supportive of my running. I have never felt anything like that in my life.

I finished 57 miles in 10:49.24 which was actually 9:35:44 of running with that extra hour plus spent refueling and mostly changing clothes, shoes, and socks multiple times. I forget how many “costume” changes I had that day but it was quite a few.

It was about 50 degrees and rained the entire day. Anyone who has been to New England knows how cold and raw that can feel. I ran much of the day in a lightweight clear poncho.

When I crossed the finish line, I was the last finisher; a first for me. Many of the relay teams waited around for me to finish and I received a wonderful greeting. The race director even came over to hug me! I was the only person who ran all 57 miles.

I had done something I wasn't sure I could even do. My longest training run was 31 miles so once I reached that mile marker I told my husband “We'll see what happens from here!”

I was in totally uncharted territory until crossing that finish line. The exhaustion, joy, and so many other emotions I felt were overwhelming. They are still difficult to describe, but I can still feel them so strongly when I think about it. That's powerful.

My grandfather's birthday is today which has had him on my mind this week. When I think of him, I also think of my first ultra.

Perhaps that's why I have been having ultra thoughts lately and even signed up for my first road 50K. Rae Ann Darling Reed runs, coaches, and writes in Florida. She is part of the Brooks Inspire Daily program. Follow the RunnerGirl on twitter @runnergirl or facebook.com/runnergir

many years I must say she was hardly tired. She was full of energy and sparkly, talking with the press and getting herself ready for her television interview. She was hardly sweating and looked very fresh for the camera. The heat and humidity did not challenge Welling on this March morning. The men's winner on the other hand said "running in the humidity was tough."

Both winners are 26 years old and took home unexpected national titles. It is a day of new beginnings as Welling was well clear of the women with a 50:34 winning time while Kebenei ran 44:37 three seconds ahead of Kipchirchir and five seconds ahead of Landry.

Back in the women's race, Stephanie Bruce back from having two baby boys (ages two and six months), ran a brilliant race coming from way back and finishing a solid second in front of Scherf and Matthews. Bruce also ran the fastest last mile with a 4:56 to Welling's 4:58.

Welling, who hails from Portland, OR, had her proud parents at the finish. They were thrilled and posed for lots of pictures with the champ. Kebenei, originally from Kenya, but a US citizen for over a year currently trains in Tuscon, AZ, since being a top ranked steeple chase runner at the University of Arkansas.

16,270 runners participated in the 15K. The entire morning was filled with events from tot trots to a 5K, and despite the warm weather all had a good time. "It was hot. It was fun and I think people really enjoyed themselves" race director Doug Alred said. "That's a good thing." Many spectators lined the course and the finish area and enjoyed the thrilling race.

And once again, hats off to the amazing Richard Fannin and his crew for assembling a new field of superstars who wowed the crowds and gave him every reason to be extremely proud. No one does it like Richard, as most any professional runners will tell you. He is the best, as is the Gate River Run 15K. Next year will be the 40th, so put it on your to get done list!

Running Psychology A Running Life Beyond Fear and Regret How many times have you said to yourself, “I wish I had …” or “I should have…?” You have probably said these types of things to yourself a thousand times, about running and about other aspects of life as well. We all have regrets in our lives whether they are career, education, family or health oriented. Maybe it was due to fear of the unknown or lack of confidence at the time, but I'm sure most of us have some regrets as far as our running goes. “I wish I had done more strengthening exercises to prevent this injury;” “I should have done more long runs before that marathon;” “I should have never gone out that fast;” “I wish I had tried to qualify for the Boston Marathon just once;” or “I wish I would have started running earlier in life” are some common examples of regrets by runners.

Often we try and just put the regrets behind us, forget about them and move on, yet that strategy may not be best for our emotional health. While regrets are a form of what-might-have-beens, some can stay with us for years and weigh us

By Richard Ferguson, Ph.D.

down emotionally, especially if we have no opportunity to ever repair the regret.

However, many regrets can actually have an ultimate positive influence on our lives.

Many people just wallow around in selfblame over fears and regrets, which in turn make them miserable. While there are some regrets, like not having spent enough time with your parents or making a bad investment, that may never be repaired, most running regrets give us the opportunity to do something about them if we don't let fear stand in our way.

Regret can be a tremendous motivator if

www.running.net we allow it to be. But regret can also be something that stifles our motivation. If we can take regrets and learn from them they can actually be a very positive aspect of life. Many running regrets are very useful! They can motivate us to do things differently the next time.

S o you have never run in the Boston Marathon? Well look up the qualifying standard for your age, find a fast marathon to qualify in, get on a sound training program and go for it. Like the Nike ad says, “Just Do It!” Don't let fear get in your way. Sure, you might not qualify, but then again you might just qualify!

If you don't make it on the first try, keep after it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

Having regrets over not doing something that is in the very real realm of possibility is a waste of precious emotional energy.

Think about what you can do in the future that you didn't do in the past! The world is full of all kinds of running possibilities and adventures.

As far as I know our time on earth is limited, so instead of just thinking about something you would enjoy doing in your running, go out and actually do it. You owe it to yourself, at least, to explore your options. Running is a sport to be experienced, so go out and experience as much of it as possible. Try that ultra you've been thinking about. Go out and enter a track meet. Take a vacation to the Rockies or European Alps and run a mountain race.

Don't wish your life away! Make your wishes reality! Really, what's stopping you from chasing your running dreams?

You may even want to try a new training method or get that coach you've always talked about. Just because you didn't do it your twenties, doesn't mean you can't do it now. So you're tight and have never worked on your flexibility and mobility.

Start! Mobility is important for any runner at any age and can improve everyday functioning as well. Go ahead, buy those racing flats you've always wanted. If possible try the things you've always wanted to try, but that little voice of fear has always told you not to.

You really do have some control over regrets. When you're young enough you can actually go out and make good on past regrets. On the other hand, if you are older, there may be some things that you can't take action on, like trying to run a particular time or finish a certain place in a race. Even so, don't place a lot of selfblame on yourself. If you think back to earlier times you probably did many things that you're happy about and wouldn't trade for the world. Yes, you didn't run that 100-mile race, but you did get to run that marathon you had always wanted to run. So give yourself a break when there is really nothing you can do about a past regret. Always try and learn from the past CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Learning from the Young Guns Improving Your Finishing Kick There are few things more romantic in distance running than flying down the final straightaway, people cheering from the side of the road, while blowing past competitors on the way to the finish line.

We all love the feeling of finishing a race strong. Even if you aren't the type that relishes in making your competitors eat your dust over those final 100 yards it still feels good to have a strong finish at the end of a race. If you watch the Olympic Track and Field Trials this July on TV or the Olympic Games in August you'll notice that nearly every distance event on the track will come down to that final sprint over the last 1-2 minutes of the race.

Many people assume it's necessary to be a fast sprinter to be able to sprint fast at the end of a race. While that can help, there are far more important tools to hone both mentally and physically in order to dust the competition at the end of races.

Mo Farah has dominated world 5K and 10K running for the past 5 years and will be the odds on favorite to repeat his double Olympic gold performance from London four years ago. Farah has been so dominate in large part because he has the most lethal kick on the planet. Many are quick to attribute his finishing speed to his ability to sprint fast, but his strong finish has as much to do with Farah's strength than his foot speed. Farah is very fast to be sure, but he's also able to run very close to his maximum speed at the end of races, and that has everything to do with his strength. Farah's primary training partner, American Galen Rupp, is noted to be a faster sprinter than Farah, but Rupp has never beaten Farah in a finishing sprint because Farah's strength enables him to run much closer to his top speed at the end of races.

The basis for training distance runners is exactly that, running distance. If you're serious about improving your finish you should start by trying to increase your aerobic strength. Most people would be served best by simply running a bit more to develop their aerobic engine and improve their efficiency. It sounds simple, but it's the most over looked, and underrated, way to improve your strength late in races. Beyond the mileage you want to focus your harder running primarily on tempo work, particularly progressive runs. Progressive runs teach you to run fastest at the end of your run or your races. For many people going out too hard in races is the biggest culprit for sapping

their finishing speed. Learning to start a little slower will enable you to finish faster and improve your race times, and a progression run is a perfect way to practice that strategy. It's not to say you should stay away from all things fast, tempo based work is too often neglected, and that will leave you weary-legged in the later stages of races rather than charging strong to the finish.

As you look to increase your training volume you also want to increase the length of your long run. Even if you're more of a 5K runner, longer runs up to 2 hours will yield big benefits when it comes to finishing strong at the end of races. Adding pickups late in your long run will add to the benefits. The idea for the pickups is to pickup the pace for 1 to several minutes at a time toward the end of the long run, targeting somewhere between 10K and half marathon effort on the pickups. In between each pickup you should resume your normal long run pace for about 5-6 minutes. The pickups recruit fast twitch muscles late in the run when your slow twitch fibers are fatigued. This strengthens the fast twitch fibers and helps improve running economy and leg speed. In addition to helping you improve your speed these pickups will train your body and your mind to pickup the pace when you're feeling tired late in a race -another great tool to have in your bag for the finish.

While the physical preparation prepares the body for finishing strong, the mental component to a fast finishing kick is equally as important. In the final minutes of long distance races the battle between your mind and body is fierce. It's at this point where you're at your most vulnerable, where the smallest lapse in focus can lead to slowing down dramatically. Try picking a word or short phrase that you can repeat in your head to maintain your focus late in races. It can be something simple like “drive� or “push,� something

that keeps your mind from wandering. In the final few hundred yards a small lapse in focus is all it takes to ruin your finishing kick.

It is also helpful to think about running through the finish line rather than just running to the finish line. We've all seen the person (or been the person) that makes the final turn and as soon as the finish is in sight immediately struggles. That is the difference between thinking, “just get to the line� and “stay strong, run through the line.� The latter will help you power right through to the finish while the former is an invitation to slow down and just survive. We've also seen the person (or yes, been the person) that contorts their body in every possible way to get to the finish.

That kind of full body tension is counter productive and can lead to the aforementioned struggling to the finish line. You want to think about staying relaxed in your upper body, and driving your arms powerfully toward the finish.

Think about being strong and powerful rather than simply wishing to be done and you'll be more strong and powerful. Train your body and your mind to be strong and powerful and you will find yourself flying by your competitors as the crowd cheers you to the finish.

He Said, She Said What Does it Mean to Really Run Free?

My attention was recently captured by a Facebook post that announced limited showings of Run Free, a documentary about the legendary ultramarathon runner Micah True, who was featured in the New York Times bestseller, “Born to Run.” Highlighting a love for the sport, refusal to conform, and respect for diverse cultures, the film touched my heart, tugged at its strings, and reenergized my faith in the human spirit.

After the film, I felt completely inspired.

During the film, I listened to True, his forged family of runners, and the woman he loved, to learn, “What does it mean to really run free?”

He (Micah True) said…

“We all used to be very good runners, all of us, all culture. Most of us have forgotten how,” True said in the Run Free documentary.

Of course, even until the last minutes of his life, True had not forgotten how to run, and neither had the Tarahumara Middle American Indians of Copper Canyon Mexico whom he admired and respected.

It was while running with the Tarahumara (Raramuri) people, during one of Leadville 100 ultramarathons in Colorado in the mid90s, that True decided to start spending his winters running the trails of Chihuahua Mexico's Copper Canyon.

Perhaps better known as Caballo Blanco, the White Horse, True was attracted to the Raramuri for their detachment from dependence on things of the world and their connection with nature and the natural essence of running.

“The Raramuri still live closer to their tradition, they live closer to the earth, they live closer to their genetic memory, and they run,” True said in the film.

True wanted to encourage the Raramuri to retain their relationship with running. He wanted to help them help themselves, and he wanted to encourage others to remember the essence of running in the process. He therefore decided to form a 50-mile foot race in 2003 - the Copper Canyon Ultramarathon.

By Mary Marcia Brown

Everyone who finishes the race receives 500-lbs of corn. In addition to cash prizes, food and blankets are given to the Raramuri runners of the race and their families. The awards of food ensure nutritional sustenance of the Raramuri while promoting the continuation of the deep-rooted farming facet of their culture.

True enjoyed running with the Raramuri, and he ran with them during the largest Copper Canyon Ultramarathon of March 12, 2012. Two weeks later, True's spirit soared, as he left this earth during a 12-mile run through the Gila Wilderness.

While many would say that True died doing what he loved, his girlfriend, Maria Walton noted instead, that he “lived what he loved doing.”

“I remember as a child, running around for play, and running free,” True said in the film.

In many ways, he carried that playful, childlike joy throughout his life - sharing the joy of running with others, and etching a way through the sometimes thick wilderness so that we all have the inspired opportunity to again run free.

THIS RUNNING LIFE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 Then he started responding to stimulation and following commands.

“That's when we knew he would come back,” Kay said. “When he was able to lift his right leg, we cheered because we knew he would someday be able to run again.”

But Green had to learn how to walk before he could run, and when he returned home after a month of physical therapy, he set out to do just that.

Using a walker at first, he measured his distance, not in miles, but in mailboxes.

“Tom walked to the first mailbox on our street,” Kay said. “Then he was able to make it to the second mailbox.”

Within four weeks, and using his walker, Green could shuffle a mile, which took 40 minutes.

“At this point, we just didn't know how much Tom could recover,” Doss said.

But while Green kept improving, balance continued to be a problem. He knew if he ever wanted to have a chance to run ultras again, he'd have to find something to hang onto for balance, yet navigate easily.

Jogging strollers are the rage for mom-anddad runners with new babies. Green reckoned he could run with one too.

The comeback Green set his sights on the Crooked Road 24-hour run in Rocky Mountain, Virginia, a November run that would come only seven months after he almost died.

His goal was to finish 50K, but after going 30 miles in 10 hours, he was exhausted.

“So I took a nap,” he said. “And when I woke up, I felt guilty for stopping, so I got up and walked nine more miles.”

Then on March 19, Green decided to try a free run without using the jogger at the Hat Run in Maryland. Along the way, he lost his balance, fell and hit his head again.

With the Umstead 100 just two weeks away, on April 2, Green was determined to follow through despite his set-back. He was deter-

mined to get 50 miles.

Set in the rolling hills of the 100-year old William B. Umstead State Park, the endurance run takes place on a picturesque, looping bridle trail, rocky and unforgiving on the feet, but easy for anything with wheels, like mountain bikes and baby joggers.

For Green, the Umstead 100-mile endurance race was as much a lesson in strategy and willpower as it was in strength and endurance. To finish in the 30-hour time limit runners must maintain at least an 18 minute pace, and even though Green was planning on going 50 miles, it was important to him to maintain that minimum pace. Strong and steady, he never wavered and never even rested at the aid stations.

After starting just before daybreak at 6 a.m., Green finished an hour after the sun went down at 8:45 p.m.

A few friends and volunteers who were hanging around the finish line congratulated him with handshakes and hugs, but he did not linger. After a few minutes, with his wife at his side, he grasped two hiking poles and quietly hiked away into the darkness.

While 2016 marks exactly 30 years since Tom Green made running history by becoming the first Ultra Running Grand Slam Champion, coming back strong after his traumatic brain injury may be his biggest feat of endurance yet.

When most people think of a champion runner, they envision a chiseled athlete, out in front, breaking a finish line ribbon with arms raised in glory.

But champions are made in many forms.

At any given trail run, you may see a figure, not running, but striding quickly through the forest pushing an empty baby jogger or heaving a pair of hiking poles. He's focused, determined, and steady as he pushes toward a finish line in the distance.

That is what a champion looks like.

She (Maria Walton) said…

“Running free among the sacred beauty of Mother Earth, has always touched my heart,” Micah True's girlfriend, Maria Walton shared.

Tom Green crosses the finish line to complete 50 miles at the Umstead 100 Endurance Run on April 1. His 50-mile time was 14 hours and 45 minutes. Green suffered a traumatic brain injury a year ago in a tree trimming accident.

Using a baby jogger and hiking poles to help him balance as he navigates the trails on his runs, Green is mounting his comeback to ultrarunning. This year also marks 30 years since he made history as the first runner to complete the epic Grand Slam of ultrarunning.

Running Through the Age Groups Nostalgia Letters Bring Wonderful Memories Some of you may know from my past articles that I lost my dad in 2004 when I was 34 and lost my mom in 2012 when I was 42. My parents' deaths were unexpected and my being an only child has rendered the past few years an emotional nightmare, made worse by the unimaginable mine fields we have had to navigate in handling the estate. One would think my being a former estate attorney would make this easier, but it's never the same when it's your own personal situation.

Without going into boring detail, since my mother passed in 2012 we've had to close the family business, auction off its assets and then sell the real estate. The real estate was a twotiered process as we took a trade in one transaction and made an outright sale about a year later. We've completely renovated a house in the mountains, are in the process of selling some timber property in Bladen County close to where my mother was reared, and have been dealing with property here in Wilmington at the same time. There was a small house downtown which we had to fire-sell due to its condition (long story there), but the major piece is the house where I was reared, on the Intracoastal Waterway. We've been trying unsuccessfully to sell the place for over two years, and even lost two contracts on it (more long stories there), but finally, we engaged a realtor who clearly knew what he was doing and now we have a contract!

As if this weren't enough, we closed our law practice so we could devote all our time to the estate and to caring for Rob's mother, who developed Alzheimer's right around the time my mother passed. She became belligerent and we were forced to place her in an Alzheimer's care unit last July. We are facing yet more moving and property issues with her house and stuff. We've suffered the loss of our dear cat,

By Mary Margaret McEachern

Buddy Fuzz, who passed suddenly last fall, and we've been dealing with multiple health problems of our own, including my afore-discussed foot problem. Once things settle out, we will be faced with another move to a slightly larger place that will accommodate our lifestyle. I honestly feel like all we have done for the past several years is move furniture and stuff! Thank God that at least for the most part, I've had my running!

You might be asking by now, “What the heck is this article doing in Running Journal?”

Well, you see, part of what we've been dealing with is the fact that my folks kept everything!

As my husband so eloquently puts it, “They were the most organized hoarders in the history of mankind!” My home on the waterway had an unbelievable amount of stuff! While we auctioned most of the random things, there was plenty of really important stuff like family photos and memorabilia that we had to keep. We are finally going through all this, and to my utter delight, I am having an absolute ball reliving my best running years. Not only do we have pictures, but also some really neat memorabilia, including what I like to call my “Nostalgia Letters. Apparently, back then,

when even the “big” races had only 5,000 or so runners, race directors were able to take the time to write really nice letters to their runners, evenly lowly age-groupers like me!

One of these letters came from the Cooper River Bridge Run, now one of the largest 10K races in the country, and is dated 25 January 1989. I was 18 then, and apparently I had won my age group in the race the previous year.

They were comping my entry in 1989! There are also two letters from the director of the Richmond Marathon (at the time it was known as the “Richmond Newspapers Marathon”).

I believe these letters were written around the time I placed 3rd Overall in the race with a 3:14 time. I was 22 and thought I was “destined for greatness”! Of course, that was before five lung collapses and a ruptured Achilles tendon, among a host of other frustrating injuries. Finally, there's a letter from Dame Flora MacDonald Gammon of the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games. This is a lovely letter from one of the most elegant ladies I have ever known, congratulating me on winning two of the Games' races the previous year and taking home the trophy she had personally sponsored. She had received our check for a bank-busting $6 as entry into the 1989 races, but apparently the fee was only supposed to be $2. Remember those days?

Wow! Just reading these letters and looking at some of the old running pictures has provided such a wonderful trip down memory lane and has really softened the blow of having to have my home place demolished so it would sell (yet another long story). It has also helped me get a little perspective back in my running, now that I have finally been able to get out there and slog through several very slow, but nice and pain-free, comeback “runs.” The last

9

several months have been a whirlwind, to say the least!

For those of you who've been at this sport a while and who keep things, I urge you to take your own trip down memory lane. Dig out those dusty boxes and delight in the surprise of some long-forgotten photo, letter, race swag or award! It might just rekindle your love of running and remind you of why you started in the first place; it might help you regain some focus or perspective that may have gone missing. In the very least, it will bring a smile to your face! So, give it a whirl, then go take a run. I guarantee your day will be richer and brighter for having done it! 'Til next time, happy running!

HE SAID, SHE SAID CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 Walton is known by many in the Copper Canyons as “Mariposa”, meaning butterfly.

Much like Caballo Blanco did, Mariposa finds beauty in the simplicity of life.

In Run Free, Mariposa explained that, “No matter how tough things are in life, or how slow you are in your run, or whether you think you can take that other step, you'll find your strength in the simplicity and beauty of the butterfly.”

From the first time Walton and True met in Colorado to run together, they shared life's simple joys by laughing, running, and enjoying moments turned to memories that will live forevermore. A shared passion for running and honoring the running traditions of their mutual Raramuri friends, likely linked their lives' paths. Continuing, sharing, and growing that tradition helped make their time together more meaningful.

Today, Walton still taps into the Tarahumara principle of Korima as a life practice.

“The Tarahumara principle of Korima, a heartfelt circle of sharing, guides my spirit with a sense of humility, compassion and grace. All cultures gain wisdom from one another,” Walton said.

In the film, Walton explained that True's running was not about staying in shape or being a competitive athlete. Instead, she felt that it was his way of saying, “This is the way I pray. This is my meditation. This is the gift that I give back to God and Mother Earth by blessing her pathway with my feet.”

In the Raramuri language, “Kuira Ba” means “we are one”. Caballo Blanco often stressed how much more alike we all are than different. “We are all messengers of hope.”

“Film Director, Sterling Noren and I vowed to Micah and his family, that we would share this message with the world, and support his dreams,” Walton said.

Now traveling across life's terrain with a tattoo of a white horse and butterfly on her calf, and peace in her heart, it looks like that is exactly what Maria Walton is doing.

To identify proven sports nutrition strategies, professionals from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND), the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), and Dietitians of Canada (DC) evaluated the latest research, and then wrote the AND, ACSM & DC Position Stand on Nutrition & Athletic Performance (available for free at www.EatrightPro.org). Here are just a few highlights that might help you fuel your body for higher energy and better performance.

• For competitive runners, a key training goal is to stimulate metabolic adaptations that will reduce or delay fatigue.

Current research suggests that occasionally training when you are carbohydratedepleted can trigger biochemical adaptations that will ultimately enhance your performance. Just be sure to enter the competitive event after having eaten adequate carbs on the days beforehand, so your muscles will be optimally fueled.

On most days, if you are training for 1 to 3 hours a day, you want to consume 2.5 to 4.5 (or more) grams of carbohydrate per pound of body weight per day (5-10+ g/kg). If you weigh 150 pounds, that comes to 1,500 to 2,700 calories of grains, fruits and veggies!

• When exercise is so intense that you have difficulty consuming even water or sports drink during the workout, just swishing and then spitting a sports drink might help you feel better and perform stronger. The brain detects the presence of sugar in the mouth, and this might help you run harder.

• While many sports supplements are worthless, ones that have strong research to back their performance-enhancing claims include sports drinks and gels, caffeine, creatine, sodium bicarbonate, betaalanine and nitrate. For in-depth information, refer to the Australian Institute of Sport’s classification system that ranks sports foods and supplement ingredients based on the strength of scientific evidence: www.ausport.gov/au/ais/nutrition/supplements And please take note: No amount of any supplement will compensate for a poor sports diet. Commercial products

work best when added to a well-chosen eating plan.

• Vitamin and mineral supplements will not improve your performance unless they reverse a nutritional deficiency. That is, if you have iron-deficiency anemia related to low dietary iron (i.e., eating no red meat) or high iron losses (heavy sweating, menstruation, donating blood), you will need an iron supplement to replenish your depleted iron stores. Reversing iron-deficiency anemia can take as long as 3 to 6 months. Hence, you want to prevent anemia from happening in the first place by eating iron-rich foods (such as dark meat chicken, fortified cereals). Taking iron supplements “just in case” is not advised and might contribute to medical issues.

• Antioxidant vitamins (such as C, E) have not been shown to enhance athletic performance. There is some evidence that high doses of antioxidants supplements might actually hinder training adaptations. The safest and most effective strategy to boost antioxidants is to regularly enjoy colorful fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and nuts. Enjoy oranges, berries, broccoli, spinach, almonds, avocado, etc. Real foods are more effective than pills (and tastier) • Advertising, in combination with a runner’s desire to perform better, can boost the appeal of sports supplements.

Yet, the rapidly growing sport supplement industry is poorly regulated in terms of the claims they make and their manufacturing practices. Products are commonly tainted with unsafe and/or banned substances. Hence, many of the 40% to 90% of athletes who take supplements fall victim to fraud. Are you one of them…?

• If you plan to use commercial sports foods and supplements, you’d be wise to first meet with a sports dietitian to get a professional assessment of your baseline diet and to determine if you would actually benefit from (as opposed to waste

money on) these products. Maybe you are already consuming plenty of protein and have no need to buy that expensive whey protein, after all? The best sports nutrition plans are personalized because each athlete is unique. To find your local sports RD, use the referral network at www.SCANdpg.org.

• Some runners do not drink any fluids before they exercise in hopes of avoiding undesired pit stops during the workout.

Yet, exercising under-hydrated can hurt performance. The solution is to drink 2.5 to 4.5 ml per pound of body weight (5-10 ml/kg; about 13 to 24 ounces for a 150-lb runner) in the two to four hours before you exercise. This allows more than enough time for you to flush the excess fluid down the toilet. You can then drink as desired right before you start your workout.

• As a part of their daily eating, most runners consume adequate protein, but they may not eat it at the right time. You want to evenly distribute your protein intake throughout the day. That means consuming some protein at least every 3 to 5 hours, so that your muscles have the tools they need to grow and repair. That is, instead of eating 16-ounces of salmon at dinner, divide the salmon into four 4-oz portions—or more realistically, enjoy 2 to 3 eggs for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, Greek yogurt + nuts for an afternoon snack, and then a smaller serving of salmon with dinner.

The target is about 15 to 25 grams protein per meal and snack for most runners.

(More precisely, 0.1 to 0.14 grams of protein per pound of body weight per meal (0.25 - 0.3 g/kg). Eating more than 40 grams of protein at one time has not been shown to offer any additional musclebuilding or performance benefits. Enough is enough!

Running Through the Bluegrass

I started having significant pain in my calf. I tried to foam roll it but it felt bruised.

Wednesday morning's run was bad, but I chalked that up to doing a workout and then another run 12 hours later. But Thursday it was still bad. Very point-specific pain and not the same type of pain I've had when my calves/Achilles are just tight (aka, high heel problems).

Early Friday - the day before the 10 miler - I 10k.

I knew I didn't want to go out too fast because was texting my physical therapist to get an there's a big hill that starts right after the 1- appointment. Diagnosed with a slight strain mile marker.

Racing is Tough, so is the Triple Crown Racing, truly racing, comes at a cost. It's both physically and mentally taxing. It takes courage, willpower, focus. Your legs work harder, your lungs work harder, your heart works harder. All systems operating at their highest level to carry you from start to finish as quickly as your body possibly can.

Certainly, we've all had those races that we described as a “tempo” run - usually, that just means it's a race we weren't fit enough - mentally or physically - to commit to.

I'm talking about the real racing. The foggy brain, hands on the knees, dry-heaving kind of racing.

Each spring, the Louisville Triple Crown presents a particularly difficult challenge: suffer like that three times with just two weeks between each race. Do it over increasingly longer distances and over increasingly more difficult terrain. Oh, and do it during marathon training season, if you're bound for 26.2.

It is hard. Hard enough that I've only completed the entire series twice. This year, I signed up for it again (even though I had hoped coach would tell me not to).

The Triple Crown is a 5k, 10k and 10 miler.

There's a weekend “off ” in between - unless you're in marathon training, in which case you're running long at least on those weekends if not the race weekends, too.

At one point, the Anthem 5k was my least favorite of the Triple Crown series. You can run a 5k pretty much any weekend March to October around here, but not many other distances. But, as a seeded runner, I take that back. Now it's one of my favorites because it's the only race in the city where you'll have so many people going that fast who can help tow you along to a great time. The current course is super fast with minimal turns. The long straightaway back to the finish is a little discouraging since you can see the finish for so long, but that's also nice in a way. You can count the blocks down on your way back in, so there's no surprise where the finish is.

My goal for this race was to a) run a well-executed race and b) break 19 minutes. Coach had given me some perceived effort cues to check in on myself at different points, but hadn't given me anything super-specific in regards to pacing. He agreed shooting for around 19 was on-track. So I wanted to not go out too fast, be relaxed until mile 2 and then hold the pace through the finish. I was targeting around 6:05 pace but focusing more on feel than time. I was also wearing my heart rate monitor but not checking it during the race.

The race starts with a really wide straightaway, at least four lanes for several blocks, so plenty of space to get sorted out. I was trailing two friends, both former collegiate runners, and feeling comfortable. It's so easy to get sucked in to going out way too fast in races like this where there's so much talent at the front. This race also attracts a lot of youngsters, who inevitably fly through the first half mile then start to fall apart. I went through the first mile in about 6 minutes flat, a little fast but not bad.

My second mile is usually the weakest so I've been trying to improve there - staying mental-

Team Health Shoppe Wins Palmetto70 Relay

By Dave Alderman The Team Health Shoppe- Zen Evo team was in a jubilant mood at the conclusion of the fifth annual Palmetto 70 Relay, held on March 18-19 in Columbia, SC. Team Health Shoppe won the overall title and came close to setting a new course record. The team averaged a 6:50 pace on their way to a finishing time of 7 hours, 46 minutes, 19 seconds.

Run in conjunction with the Palmetto 200 Relay, the 70 mile race begins in the Frances Marion Forest near Moncks Corner and finishes at Patriot's Point in Charleston, SC. The Knoxville based team led off with Tim Gregory followed by Bobby Haines and Jeff Colfer Sr. with Jeff Colfer Jr. and myself completing the rotation. Starting times were staggered with Team Health Shoppe in the third and final wave which began at 5:20 a.m., exactly 40 minutes after the first group of teams had departed.

Gregory jumped to the front immediately and gradually extended the distance between himself and the chasing pack as he made his way along a darkened two lane road. He covered the 8.1 mile leg in 51 minutes, 24 seconds (6:20 pace).

The second leg saw Bobby Haines clock a 6:27 pace for 6.6 miles and overtake most of the remaining teams from the earlier waves.

He handed off to Jeff Colfer Sr. who by the end of the third segment had completed the task of putting Team Health Shoppe into the overall lead.

The team maintained their commanding lead throughout the remainder of the race with Jeff Colfer Jr. tackling the last segment, which included the imposing Cooper River Bridge.

Running his third segment of the day, Colfer Jr. made his way over the bridge and into Patriot's Point where his teammates joined

him in crossing the finish line.

“I did my first leg of 7.51 miles at a pace of 6:35 and my second leg of 2.96 miles at a 6:20 pace”, said Colfer Jr. “My watch died in the middle of my last leg, which was 7.8 miles, but I would assume my average was about 7:15 or so”.

“The race was very well organized, and the course was excellently marked. Even though I was exhausted and digging deep into the well on the last leg, going over the Cooper River Bridge was a wonderful way to bring the race to a conclusion. I was elated to see so many teams out on the course who were all so excited to be a part of something like this. The camaraderie and overall experience of these relay races are awesome.”

At the RRCA Dallas Convention, it's All about Friendship As of this writing, I recently returned from the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) Convention in Dallas, TX. However when I left last year's RRCA Convention in Des Moines, IA, I thought it would be more than a year before I would see all the friends again that I met through my service in this organization.

The RRCA is an association of community-based running clubs and events, the oldest and largest in the nation. We have one State Rep in each state (two in larger states, including Florida), who serves the running clubs in that state and acts as a liaison between the clubs and the RRCA. I will mention the RRCA throughout my column this month, and I encourage you to visit our website, www.rrca.org, for more details than I can provide here.

As some of you might know, I was an RRCA board member for six years. A year ago I resigned, because of several personal commitments including my move from North Carolina to Florida.

After I stepped down from the board I didn't have any official role in the organization, so therefore I wasn't sure when I would attend a convention again. But as things turned out, I had not only one, but two reasons to be back already this year!

It was a very positive experience, so this month I want to write about what I learned, and also some reflections on life and the sport that surfaced in my mind as a result of attending.

The annual conventions serve as an opportunity for State Reps throughout the country to get together, learn from each other, and exchange ideas. There are also formal education sessions, where we learn about the insurance that the RRCA provides for running clubs and events, as well as other topics that are relevant to clubs, events, and individual runners. Last but not the least, it is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and become friends!

Early this year I volunteered to fill a vacancy for our North Florida State Rep position, while we are searching for a permanent replacement. And being the newly minted North Florida State Rep gave me one reason to board a plane bound for Dallas.

But secondly, and maybe even more important, I received a National Running Award this year! Each year at the Convention, the RRCA acknowledges the service and dedication of volunteers in the running community, in several categories.

I was the Browning Ross Spirit of the

By Lena Hollmann

RRCA Award recipient this year, an award given to an unsung hero who has demonstrated a lifetime commitment to supporting fellow runners and the sport of running. It is named after the RRCA's founding member Browning Ross, who died unexpectedly in 1998.

I am very honored to have received this award, and want to continue my commitment and service to the sport that I love.

And after attending the Dallas Convention where I rekindled some of my old friendships with other runners and also made several new friends, I am more motivated than ever to continue my ties and dedication to the running community.

It struck me throughout the convention what a friendly and inclusive bunch we all are. Whether we are active runners, or otherwise involved in the sport (as race directors, volunteers, running store owners, etc.) we are all eager to support and encourage each other.

So who attends these RRCA conventions? In addition to RRCA Board Members and State Reps, there are board members and general members from running clubs all over the country, plus race directors, presenters, vendors, and friends of the RRCA. All ages are represented.

Some attendees are active runners, others not. At our training runs you will find runners of all paces, so you will always have someone to run with. Probably at least a hundred showed up for our morning runs in Dallas, lead by pacers from the Dallas Running Club. Regardless whether you could run 7:30 per mile or were a runner/walker at 13 minute pace or more, there was a pacer for you. And after each run, we were presented with a medal and a shirt.

Coming from Florida, my biggest challenge was that I had “forgotten” how cold it can get in other parts of the country! On our second morning run the temperature in Dallas had dipped to 42 degrees, accompanied by a stiff wind. This was by

Down the Road Ch-Ch-Ch Changes Turn and face the strange - changes.

As we get older we realize how right and how true David Bowie was about how things change. You've probably heard his song a lot of times and just went along with the melody, but the lyrics hit home. They really hit when people like Bowie and Glen Frye and several others whose songs have impacted you and who were about your age die within a few weeks of each other. Music changes and running and races change.

How have races changed since the running boom began in the 70s? Lots of ways. First off, there are a lot more races now than there used to be. In the late 70s when I started racing regularly there were probably less than 50 races in the entire state of South Carolina. There were a lot of weekends when there was only one or two races in the state. And there were a lot of weekends when there were no races at all. I can remember driving from Charleston (where we lived) to Rock Hill (where we had never been) the weekend after the 1979 Cooper River Bridge Run to run the ComeSee-Me Run since it was the only race in the state that weekend. You would be hard pressed to find a weekend like that now. In 2015, I was able to find the results of 612 races held in South Carolina.

Next change. The 'big' races have gotten a lot bigger. When I ran the '79 Cooper River Bridge Run it was the largest race in South Carolina that year and the first timed race to have over 1,000 finishers. That summer Kathy and I ran the Peachtree 10k in Atlanta. We were amazed that they had over 12,000 entrants for the race but as to how many finished the race, there is no record since Peachtree didn't begin timing all their finishers until many years later. So you had to remember to start your watch and stop it when you crossed the line or remember it from the finish line clock when you went by it in Piedmont Park.

It's easy to remember at Charleston Running Club meetings for several years in a row after that when everyone was discussing whether the Bridge Run could ever be as large as

By Cedric Jaggers

Peachtree. Who could imagine having 12,000 runners in Charleston going over the Bridge? But they did and they made it a reality as the 1997 Bridge Run had 12,583 timed finishers. Of course by that year Peachtree had grown to 30,000 entrants, but was only timing the first 5,253 of them.

The Bridge Run didn't top 30,000 entrants until 2006 when it hit 45,663 entrants and 33,678 finishers, while Peachtree was still timing only the first 5,000 or so - 4,755 that year. In 2005 Peachtree had 54,752 finishers and the Bridge Run had 27,323 according to the Running USA list.

You can see similar growth in a number of big name races at distances all the way up to the marathon. When I ran the New York City Marathon in 1980 there were 14,012 starters according to the race website. In 2015 there were 49,356 who crossed the finish line. The next year my finisher certificate shows that the Marine Corps Marathon had 6,556 finishers while in 2015 23,184 finishers. Many large shorter races grew similarly.

Next change - the slowdown in average finishing times, and in a lot of overall winning times. Times that 15 years ago wouldn't ever win an age group award, now regularly show up as race winning times, both male and female. You need only look at the race results posted on Running.Net to see what we are talking about.

Let's look at average slowdown and numerical or percentage count. At the Cooper River Bridge Run the number of runners who crossed the finish line in less than 40 minutes was 66, while 425 or 55% of the finishers crossed the finish line in less than 50 minutes and 623 or 83% of the runners crossed the line in less than an hour.

The peak for various times in that

race were 90% under an hour in 1991 which gradually diminished to 7.8% in 2015. The peak for under 50 minutes was 58% in 1992 tapering down to 2.9% in 2015. Finishers under 40 minutes peaked at 393 in 1989 with totals usual somewhere in the 200s, and showing 207 in 2015. It's easier to understand this slowdown when you know there has been a tremendous increase in casual runners and timed walkers.

The final major change is the percentage of female finishers. You need only go to almost any race to see the change. A race with more than half female participants is almost the rule now. In the first Bridge Run back in 1978 only 14.8% of the 766 finishers were female. Female participation increased gradually every year and surpassed male participation for the first time in 2006. The highest percentage of females in the race was 59.3 percent in 2013 and has not been below 58% since 2010. This kind of increase seems to have happened at almost every race distance.

And there we are. Things are definitely different now than they were in the 'old' days. More races, more runners, maybe a lot more casual runners now than serious racers, but participation is important and a good thing.

I won't even go into the difference in timing. Handheld stopwatch, with times recorded on TIC sheets to Chronomix timing machines, to computerized chip timing. Chip timing which can record not only a runners' actual gun time and finish order, but that can recalculate every finishers' time and reorder the actual finish of the race into chip time finish order showing just the time it took to get from the start line to the finish line, rather than the time it took to run the race from the starting gun to the time the runner crosses the line.

So turn and face the strange changes. There are sure to be more in your future. We hope to see you running through all those changes and watch you enjoy your runs and your races.

SHOE REVIEW

by Cregg Weinmann

Track & Field Spring 2016 The Olympics are coming! The Olympics are coming! However, unlike Paul Revere’s warning of impending battle, this battle of the stars of track & field is welcome, eagerly anticipated, even. While we’ll see more Rio ’16 Olympic rollouts in the coming months, there’s much to like about the crop of spikes for the 2016 season leading up to the Olympic Track & Field Trials in July.

Here we reviewed products from eight brands: five new shoes are introduced and three are updates. All models are for track running, technical enough for upper-level athletes, effective for anyone fit enough to benefit from the advantages that technical spikes afford.

It takes time to adapt to spikes’ minimal support, structure, and cushioning, so you’ll need to do some of your track training in them before you race in them. Sizing is a concern, as they should fit snugly enough to do their job. All are nearly true to size, that is, the size you would normally wear. Some use unisex sizing, which means they come in wider range of men’s sizes, and women should subtract 1.5 from their usual size to get a proper fit. For example, if you wear a women’s 7, you’ll need to select a men’s 5.5.

This review is a starting point to find your key equipment for a successful track & field season. Another valuable resource is www.runningproductreviews.com. You’ll also find additional spikes reviews posted there during the season.

adidas DistanceStar

$65

The adidas’ new DistanceStar provides performance on a budget, and it’s surprisingly well done for the price. The upper is a breathable mesh, both light and sturdy. It offers adequate drainage for the steeplechase, with an interior that’s well finished enough to be comfortable during the longer track races.

The midsole is a full-length molded EVA wedge that’s nicely resilient and handles all competition track surfaces. The outersole has a rubber heel, and the 5 spike plate extends into the arch. Toughened foam covers the rest. If you’re looking for good spike performance at a comparatively modest price, you’ll be well served by the DistanceStar.

NEW Sizes Men 6.5–13,14,15; Women 5–10,11 Weight 6.8 oz. (w/ spikes, men’s 11); 5.5 oz. (w/ spikes, women’s 8) Spikes replaceable; 5 Upper mesh; no-sew overlays Innersole sheet EVA Outersole half-length thermoplastic plate, rubber heel Recommended for 1500–10,000 meters, including the steeplechase, on all track surfaces

ASICS CosmoRacer LD $120 ASICS is thoroughly invested in competitive running, and the CosmoRacer LD is its latest entry for the track. The upper is a closed mesh that’s supported by thin, no-sew overlays in the heel and midfoot, and thin linings shape the toe. The midsole is a molded layer of EVA that’s got a good bounce, making it effective for longer races. The outersole is full-length Pebax nylon, with a sharkskin heel and additional forefoot grip provided by the textured EVA that protrudes through the spike plate. The CosmoRacer LD is aimed at runners looking for a combination of performance, light weight, and a measure of protection.

NEW Sizes Unisex 6–13,14 Weight 5.5 oz. (w/ spikes, men’s 11) Spikes replaceable; 4 Upper closed minimesh; no-sew overlays Innersole sheet EVA Midsole molded SoLyte Outersole full-length Pebax nylon plate, sharkskin heel Recommended for distance races from 1500–10,000 meters on synthetic track surfaces

Brooks 2 QW-K $110 The 2 QW-K is Brooks’ high-end spike for sprinters, and this is its first update. The synthetic leather upper has a bit of stretch to help with the fit, while holding the foot securely over the plate. There’s no midsole to the shoe (except the thin innersole), in keeping with its purpose: the shortest running events.

The outersole is a full-length TPU spike plate with 8 spike receptacles and a constellation of points distributed over its surface to grip the track. An angled forefoot positions the metatarsals for sprinting power, and the stiff plate allows little extraneous movement to channel everything into rapid forward motion. The snug fit, effective spike plate, and springy feel make the 2 QW-K a superb choice for sprinting performance.

Updates the QW-K Sizes Unisex 5–13,14,15 Weight 7.0 oz. (w/ spikes, men’s 11) Spikes replaceable; 8 Upper synthetic leather; TPU-welded overlays Innersole sheet EVA Outersole full-length thermoplastic spike plate Recommended for sprints and hurdles up to 400 meters on synthetic surfaces

BEST SHOE HOKA ONE ONE Rocket LD $80 Track & Field SPRING 2016

Yes, HOKA makes spikes and, no, they don’t have a marshmallowy stack height. In fact, they’re built well for speed, hence the name Rocket LD. The mesh upper has no-sew overlays in a large lattice pattern to support the foot and only minimal stitching through the lace-throat. The midsole is a thin layer of EVA, built up on the lateral side to position the foot for power while cornering. The spike plate features 4 spike wells, offset asymmetrically to provide the best traction, and the U-shaped heel plate is textured to help hold the track.

With its excellent combination of components, design, and price, the Rocket LD is an outstanding value and earned our award as Best Track & Field Shoe.

NEW Sizes Unisex 4–13,14 Weight 5.2 oz. (w/ spikes, men’s 11) Spikes replaceable; 4 Upper mesh; TPU-welded overlays Innersole sheet EVA Midsole full-length CM-EVA Outersole thermoplastic plates, forefoot and heel Recommended for 800–10,000 meters and steeplechase, o synthetic surfaces

New Balance SD 200 v1 $130 Sprinter Trayvon Bromell’s shoe uses the same plate as the SD 200. The upper is a thin minimesh supported by no-sew overlays on the medial side as well as the heel, ankle collar, and eyestay. Only the tongue and heel are anchored by stitching. The remainder of the upper is covered with a matrix of fused overlays to give the shoe structure and shape and to hold the foot securely. There’s no midsole to the shoe; Instead, the upper attaches directly to the full-length Pebax nylon spike plate, which features 8 spike receptacles. A lateral ridge beneath the metatarsals positions the foot forward for maximum sprinting power. Smaller ridges fan out to keep the plate light, while providing enough stiffness to effectively transfer power to the track. The combination of well-executed features makes the SD 200 v1 an excellent choice for the mid-length sprints as well as the fastest sprinting on the track.

NEW Sizes Men 7–13,14; Women 5.5–11,12 Weight 5.8 oz. (w/ spikes, men’s 11); 4.9 oz. (w/ spikes, women’s 8) Spikes replaceable; 8 Upper synthetic leather and mesh, synthetic suede tongue Innersole sheet EVA Outersole 3/4-length Pebax nylon spike plate, sharkskin heel Recommended for 100–400 meters and hurdles, on synthetic surfaces

Nike Zoom D $90 The track & field distance running line from Nike has always offered products at a range of levels, from beginners to elite athletes like Steve Prefontaine. The new Zoom D adds some touches to the best standards for a really good mid-range shoe. The upper is an engineered mesh with welded overlays and a smooth interior for those who prefer to go without socks. Extra padding in the ankle collar and the tongue give it a plush feel. The midsole is a thin, compression-molded layer of Cushlon foam, divided longitudinally (heel to toe) by a flex groove, which smoothes the ride here just as it does in road shoes. The Pebax nylon spike plate is also divided in half, with 2 lateral spikes and 3 medial, and sharkskin on the lateral heel for rearfoot traction. The remainder of the outersole is toughened midsole Cushlon foam to keep things light and fast.

NEW Sizes Unisex 4–13,14,15 Weight 4.7 oz. (w/ spikes, men’s 11) Spikes replaceable; 5 Upper engineered mesh; welded synthetic overlays Innersole sheet EVA Midsole full-length Cushlon (EVA) Outersole Pebax nylon spike plate, toughened EVA, thermoplastic skarkskin heel insert Recommended for 1500–10,000 meters and steeplechase on synthetic surfaces

Saucony Endorphin $110 Saucony’s premier distance running spike, the Endorphin, could be described as a gossamer slipper with teeth.

This update maximizes the best features of the shoe and doesn’t fix what isn’t broken. The upper is a gauzelike minimesh that breathes well and holds the foot comfortably. The midsole is a slender wedge of EVA that effectively cushions the foot, while offering a surprising amount of bounce. The Pebax nylon spike plate is the same design as the last version, down to the sharkskin heel insert that provides effective traction, while keeping weight to a minimum. Its light weight, flexibility, and great traction contribute to the Endorphin’s success.

Updates the Endorphin LD 4 Sizes Men 7–13,14; Women 5–11,12 Weight 3.6 oz. (w/ spikes, men’s 11); 3.1 oz. (w/ spikes, women’s 8) Spikes replaceable; 4 Upper mesh, synthetic suede, welded synthetic overlays Innersole sheet EVA Midsole CM-EVA Outersole Pebax nylon spike plate, sharkskin insert (heel) Recommended for 800–10,000 meters on synthetic surfaces

Under Armour SpeedForm® Sprint Pro $120 Under Armour has jumped into track & field with both feet and that’s good news for anyone looking for more good-quality footwear choices. The SpeedForm® Sprint Pro is one of two shoes that provide the Under Armour approach to running performance. (The second is the SpeedForm® Miler Pro.) The Sprint Pro features a nonstretch synthetic leather upper to lock down the foot over the spike plate, hugging the foot comfortably. The interior is smooth—almost plush—thanks to Under Armour’s SpeedForm® construction.

There’s no midsole here, as the upper is lasted directly to the spike plate, but it’s not really needed since they aren’t intended for multiple laps. The full-length spike plate situates the foot forward, with a fan-shaped molded ridge to maximize sprinting power. The 8-spike configuration provides traction, aided by dozens of molded spike-like points. A pair of sharkskin inserts in the heel prevent slipping if your foot happens to touch down from fatigue. With its technical execution, good performance, and edgy appearance, the Sprint Pro is a quality sprint shoe.

NEW Sizes Unisex 5.5–12,13 Weight 6.1 oz. (w/ spikes, men’s 11) Spikes replaceable; 8 Upper nonstretch synthetic leather; welded SpeedForm® construction Outersole full-length Pebax nylon spike plate, thermoplastic sharkskin heel Recommended for 100–400 meters and hurdles on synthetic surfaces

Attendees enjoyed an inspiring evening of food and fellowship as Bill, 4-time winner of the Boston and New York Marathons, shared numerous anecdotes from his years of International running. Bill graciously answered questions and signed copies of his book “Marathon Man,” along with copies of his famous poster:

Gisela Olalde and Scott Wietecha earn victories in 22nd Annual Gupton Jeep Tom King Half Marathon.

By Peter Pressman/Nashville Striders NASHVILLE, TN - This year’s Gupton Jeep Tom King Classic, held on March 5, was staged under sunny skies, with temperatures approaching 40 degrees at the start.

A stark contrast from last year, when a snow and ice storm two days prior to the event, forced cancelation of the half marathon, with everyone running the 5K on a slightly modified course. However, this year’s event had its own issues. An International Women’s Soccer Tournament was scheduled for Nissan Stadium, home of the Tennessee Titans, the same weekend as our event.

Official announcement in mid-January set in motion a series of appeals to allow us to finish in the stadium as planned. It was on Feb. 8 that we learned that we would be “booted” from the field, and denied access to our “Finish on the Fifty.” Alternate finish logistics were generated, with a new finish line outside the stadium. On short notice, what resulted was a 5K that ended up around 3.25 miles, and a half marathon closer to 13.25.

“Relentless,” which captures his 1979 Boston course record-breaking Finish (and personal best). Everyone was eager to have their picture taken with Bill. “Boston Billy” also ran our half marathon Saturday morning and assisted at our Awards Ceremony in the comfort of the Stadium Club where participants refueled with the plentiful post-race breakfast buffet.

This Annual Event hosted by the Nashville Striders, was first staged in 1996, and honors one of our founding members, Tom King, who also attended our Dinner and race morning festivities. It serves as our Club’s major fundraiser for the year to support the various programs, with 10% specifically earmarked for the Striders Youth Fund.
