Running Through the Bluegrass Summer Running, Happened So Fast When you live in this part of the country, summer is for short racing because it's generally too miserable for much else. This summer, I squeezed in three races in less than six weeks while building my marathon base for Monumental in November. Multiple times I thought, “Why on earth did I think this was a good idea?"

Exhibit A: “Holy Heart Rate: The Viking Dash 5k."

I came across this late-June weeknight race and thought it would be a fun alternative to Thursday's normal speedwork session, but give me a way to mix things up. The race entry was inexpensive, it benefited a church's programs and it was really conveniently located.

I taught Pilates Strength first - in my race kit - then headed to the race. Weather conditions at the start were about 98* with 18 mph winds and 28 mph gusts. For a hot, weeknight, Catholic church picnic race, there was

a fast field. I took one look around and pretty much knew where I would finish. My race plan was to go by heart rate and race for place, not time. I ended up running the time I expected and finished in second as expected.

My average heart rate was 180!

Part of me hoped my coach would bail me out and tell me not to run it. Instead, he said it would be tough, but the recovery would still be minimal, and that it would hopefully serve

as a confidence-builder when racing in lessthan-ideal conditions next time.

Exhibit B: “Holiday Hijinks: 4th Fest 5k."

Apparently if you put on a race really close to me, I will feel compelled to run it. This one was right next to my gym (and when I initially decided to run it, I was still teaching there on Saturday mornings). I was excited that this race was on the same loop where I usually do intervals, but I was less excited about the 9 a.m. start time - it's July, let's not give it extra time to get hot.

I wanted to run faster than the last race, but the course ended up being significantly short so it will forever be a mystery. Confident I did run faster, but not sure by how much. I picked up the female win - and fifth overall.

Exhibit C: “Hitting It Out of the Park: Grand Slam 4 Miler."

After two lackluster hot races, your confidence takes a little bit of a hit even when you know it's not your fitness as much as the conditions. Of the three races, this was the one I was most excited about and most willing to suffer for - because the prize was awesome.

So winning was goal number one. Second goal was to break my 4 mile PR from the 2010 edition of this race, when I was coming off my then-marathon PR and was in pretty good shape (and about four months away from a full-blown injury). I believed I was in shape to PR, but had to consider the weather 75*, dew point 72*, 90% humidity, sunny.

Imagine running while wrapped in a warm, wet blanket. It's like that.

I was also keeping in mind that this was my third race in 5.5 weeks, and we hadn't backed off much for any of them. This one came towards the end of a 57-mile week, and I've averaged 55 miles per week over the past 10 weeks with no off days.

My plan was to go out relaxed for the first 2 miles then try to press on the second 2. This was also largely dependent on the rest of the women's field - I didn't want anyone to get away from me that I thought I could beat.

This plan was somewhat inspired by a Lauren Fleshman quote I came across while reminiscing about her career after she announced her retirement from professional running.

Her advice for racing the perfect 5k: "Run the first mile with your head, the second mile with your focus, and the third mile with your heart."

Of course, I had 4 miles so that complicated things - but it worked.

I won the women's division, set a new PR by 20 seconds, got a customized commemorative Louisville Slugger bat and got to throw out the first pitch at the Louisville Bats (our AAA team) game that night. How awesome is that?

The Athlete’s Kitchen

EAT WELL, RUN WELL

Taking Your Diet to the Next Level Don’t let Some runners are still on the “see-food diet.” They see food and they eat it. Others are a bit more mindful about how they nourish their bodies; they put thought into selecting high-quality foods that invest in good health, quick healing, and top performance. They commonly report they have taken their diets to the next level. For some disciplined and dedicated runners, the next level is a perfect diet with no sugar, no processed foods, no desserts, and no “fun foods.”

While aspiring to eat quality foods is certainly a step in the right direction, eating too healthfully can sometimes create problems if the food policy becomes a bit too zealous. Is birthday cake really a bad-for-you food? (I don’t think so.) Is gorging on vegetables really best for your body? (Not if your hands acquire an orange tinge from having eaten too many carrots, or if you experience recurrent diarrhea during runs due to an excessively high-fiber diet.)

Perhaps a better goal than a perfect diet is an excellent diet.

An excellent diet might be more balanced, enjoyable, and sustainable. Even birthday cake with refined sugar and saturated fat can fit into an excellent diet. That is, the 2015 Dietary Guidelines allow for the inclusion of small amounts of socalled “imperfect” foods in your food plan: • 10% of calories can come from refined sugar. That’s about 250 to 350 calories (60 to 90 grams) of sugar (carbohydrate) for most female and male athletes, respectively. This sugar fuels your muscles. Sports drinks and gels count as refined sugar.

• 10% of calories can from saturated fat that clogs arteries and is associated with heart disease. For a runner who requires about 2,500 to 3,500 calories a day, consuming 250 to 350 calories (about 30 to 40 grams) of saturated fat per day, if desired, can fit within the saturated fat budget. This means, from time to time, you can enjoy without guilt some “bad foods” such as bacon and chips. One slice of bacon has about 1 gram saturated fat; a small bag of potato chips, about 3 grams.

Certainly there are healthier foods to eat than bacon and chips, but you want to look at your whole day’s food intake— not just a single item—to determine the overall quality of your sports diet. If 85% to 95% of your food choices are high quality, a little bacon or a few chips will not ruin your health forever.

Some runners deal with “unhealthy” foods by setting aside one day a week to be their cheat day. (Think Faturday or Football Sunday.) This well-intentioned plan can easily backfire. Most people don’t over-eat/spurge until they have first been denied or deprived of a favorite food. Hence, when the Perfect Diet starts on Monday, runners can do a heck of a lot of “last chance” eating the days before starting their restrictive food plan…

Rather than a Sunday splurge, let’s say on bacon, you might want to enjoy just a few slices of bacon throughout the week.

This can curb cravings and dissipate the urge to splurge on Sundays. There can be a “diet portion” of any food.

Going to the next level For runners who want to take their diets to the next level with a sustainable plan, I offer these suggestions: • Evenly distribute your calories throughout the day. Most female runners need about 2.400 to 2,800 calories a day; male runners may need 2,800 to 3,600 calories a day. This number varies according to how much you weigh, how fidgety you are, and how much you exercise. That’s why meeting with a profes-

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

sional sports dietitian can help you determine a reliable estimate. To find a local sports dietitian, use the referral network at www.SCANdpg.org.

• Most “bad” food decisions happen at night, after your body has been underfueled during the day. If you are “starving” before dinner, add a second lunch to curb your evening (over)eating. You will easily save your self from a lot of junk food at night. Trust me.

• If your body requires 2,400 to 2,800 calories per day, this divides into 4 food buckets with about 600 to 700 calories every four hours. For example: 7:00 a.m., breakfast; 11:00, early lunch; 3:00 p.m., later lunch; and 7:00, dinner. (Adjust the times to suit your schedule and divide the calories, if desired, into smaller snacks within that 4-hour window.

• Your breakfast food-bucket should be the same size as your dinner bucket; this likely means you’ll be eating a smaller dinner and a bigger breakfast. If you train in the morning, you may want to eat part of your breakfast calories before you run and the rest afterwards.

•Include in each food bucket at least three, preferably four, of these types of foods: 1. Grain-based foods (about 150-250 calories/bucket), to fuel your muscles. Easy whole grains: whole wheat bread, oatmeal, and baked corn chips 2. Protein-based foods (about 250 calories/bucket), to build and repair your muscles. Easy ready-made options include rotisserie chicken, deli turkey, hummus, tuna pouches, tofu, hard-boiled eggs, and nuts.

3. Fruits and veggies (about 100-200 calories/bucket) for vitamins and minerals. Choose a variety of colorful fruits: strawberries, cherries, oranges, peaches, bananas, and blueberries. Also choose colorful veggies: dark green broccoli, peppers, spinach; orange carrots, sweet potato; red tomato, etc.

4. Dairy/calcium-rich foods (about 100 calories/bucket) for bones and maintaining low blood pressure: Lowfat milk, (Greek) yogurt, cheese; soy alternatives—but please not rice or almond milk. They are equivalent to juice (not milk) with very little protein or nutritional merit.

By filling up on quality foods at breakfast, lunch #1, and Lunch #2, you will crave less “junk food” at night and may not even miss it. Your diet will easily rise to the next level, no sweat.

He Said, She Said How Do Runners Endure 24 Hours of Cross-Training?

With running experience as varied as the ages of the athletes on the team, I recently had the honor and privilege of teaching a class of 10 indoor cyclists, as we persistently pedaled together toward the destination of setting a Guinness World Record.

Rewind the year's reel to late February, and I could be found with my foot nestled in a night splint reading an article about another runner setting world records in costume. My mind momentarily attempted to sulk and say, “This plantar fasciitis is preventing me from participating, training, and competing in anything!” That was false, and I quickly took stock of everything in which I was fortunate enough to engage athletically - particularly, teaching and attending indoor cycling classes. Still, that was not winning races and it certainly wasn't setting world records - but couldn't it?

I immediately began to do a little digging to find out what the Guinness World Record was for the longest indoor cycling class. I was surprised to learn the record did not exist. Fast forward four months, and many details later, and Guinness approved my application to add the category and attempt to set the record.

I was ecstatic about the opportunity, but also a bit daunted. After all, when I submitted the application, I wanted to attempt a 12-hour class with five students, five months down the road. Upon receiving approval, and in accordance with GWR requirements, the class would be attempted in 3.5 weeks, and it must last a minimum of 24 hours, and be taught to the same 10 stu-

dents. More than a couple dozen witnesses, stewards, and volunteers, along with log books, photographs, video, certifications, and certified statements were also required to bring the entire event together.

Volunteers rallied around the event, the Lakeland Family YMCA willingly allowed the attempt to take place in their cycling studio, and friends from TRIFUEL, FITniche Running Store, and Bondi Band eagerly encouraged the effort with generous product support. After 24 hours, 7 minutes, and 30 seconds of continual pedal strokes (interrupted only by the brief 8minute bathroom breaks collaboratively taken as a group every two hours), the entire team ended the ride as Queen triumphantly belted out 'We Are the Champions' in the background.

Tears of joy, relief, amazement, and pride poured from ducts around the room at the finish, but tears of discouragement, doubt, pain, and frustration could be observed in the fatigue-filled, sleep-deprived hours that preceded. During the moments in between,

each athlete summoned something inside that propelled his/her pedals to successfully realize an incomprehensible 24-hour ride. Post-ride, awaiting evidence submission to and acceptance of the evidence by GWR, the team reflected…

He (24-Hr Male Riders) Said…

Thomas Day, 61, Ironman and Experienced Endurance Athlete: “Perseverance is the key to success. My experience finishing 3 Ironman, 20 marathons, 2 fifty miles, and countless races prepared me to endure the pain. I was most impressed with the other riders who had very little or no experience. They showed true teamwork to accomplish the mission. If I had a chance to review each rider's bio prior to the ride, I would have wagered my entire 401k that the group of 10 would have never made it. Remarkable!”

Phil Brown, 40, Ironman and Experienced Endurance Athlete: “I learned over the years to shrink the chaos in my mind when I want to give up. It is all about managing discomfort in the body and mind. During the ride, I learned once again to never underestimate the will of people, especially when a team is involved.”

Dr. Matt Werd, 48, Hawaii Ironman Finisher and Experienced Endurance Athlete: “As a group, our courageous team “Embraced the Suck!” Knowing that all 10 of us had to complete the monumental spinning task at hand, each individual pushed themselves beyond what they may have been able to do on their own.

When the going got most challenging,

two reactions were possible; 1) quit, get off the bike, and feel better immediately, or 2) push through the temporary pain/discomfort, embrace the opportunity at-hand, and finish like a champion! Kudos to all riders (and instructor!) for embracing the opportunity for an achievement of a lifetime.

A great life lesson emerged during the ride: when things may not be going well, or when faced with potential failure, choose the path of a champion and embrace the opportunity, no matter how difficult it may seem.”

Luis Duran, 53, Experienced Endurance Athlete (who gave the answer “zero” when asked during the ride to rate how he was doing on a scale from 1-10): “Just don't ask the question, 'How do you feel from the scale from 1 to 10?'”

Will Morrell, 65, Record-Holding Runner and BRL Ambassador: “I found that the physical aspect of consistent running training, evolved as most beneficial for me in the ride/class, more so than the mind influence scripting that might have said, 'you can't'.”

“My biggest surprise of the challenge was how fast 8 minutes (our average break time) passes!”

“One reenforcement, pertaining to the psyche of the mind (through the hours after hours of instructed intervals and brutal endurance required for the 24-hour challenge), was it is important to discern the negative influence of the mind which is definitely imposed in such a journey, and, also, no matter who the athlete and what level of experience, at some time in such an endurance event, a pain barrier must be overcome, both mental and physical, to cross the threshold to the finish.”

She (24-Hour Female Riders) Said…

Beverly Lampp, 66, Veteran Marathoner: “Running marathons definitely prepared me in the sense that I understood the importance of the emotional/mental aspect of an endurance event, and how to persevere through adversity.”

“The biggest surprise for me was how physically demanding the event was.”

“The encouragement of our coach, and the commitment of my fellow team members, carried me through.”

“This ride taught me the positive power of my frame of mind. Since I joined the team just nine days before the ride, there was little time to train, and I knew I didn't have much of a base. My 'training' consisted mainly of assessing the limits of my endurance on the stationary bike and trying out various combinations of clothing, shoes, hydration, and nutrition. What allowed me to successfully finish was not my physical strength or preparation, but my confidence that I could do it, and my determination to persevere through the rough

Distance Memories I'm Not Superman, I'm Not Invincible I'm writing this for me. I'm sharing it with you because one day-maybe today, maybe 30 years from now-it's worth knowing.

Right now it's important for me, as a longtime runner to realize I'm not invincible. No one is.

This will serve as my constant reminder It’s already been 10 days but it seems like a lifetime ago. Ten days ago something happened to me that being a runner since the age of 23 I would have never expected. I had a heart attack.

July 20, 2016. I woke up with a back pain from hell. Somehow I begged, borrowed and stole four early morning miles before work.

The pain subsided throughout the day until it returned with a vengeance right after lunchtime, only this time the pain was in my chest and it came back twice as fierce. It wasn’t long before I was in a hospital emergency room surrounded by a half-dozen people wearing green coats with stethoscopes around their necks telling me I was having a heart attack.

How could this be? Don’t they know I’m a runner? I ran my first marathon months after I laced up a pair of running shoes for the first time! My first 50-miler three years after that … my first 100-miler six years after that!

Perhaps you didn’t hear me the first time: I.

presented by:

By Scott Ludwig

AM. A. RUNNER! You must have me mistaken for someone else. Runners don’t have heart attacks!

I’ve run Comrades. I’ve run JFK. I’ve run Badwater. I’ve run Western States. Certainly if I was going to have a heart attack I would have had it by now. These races were in the some of the most demanding conditions imaginable: Scorching hot deserts, challenging mountain terrains and seemingly endless miles. I recovered nicely from all of them, thank you very much. It’s what runners do. Now I’m a decade removed from those types of runs; if I were going to have a heart attack certainly I would have had it by now. You must be mistaken. I don’t have heart attacks!

My resting pulse is 50. I can eat anything I

want and not gain a pound. I can survive on five hours sleep a night; I’ve done it for almost 40 years. My blood pressure is always 120/80.

When I was 58 a neurologist told me I had the spine of a 30-year old. I don’t have heart attacks!

Eight days ago the cardiologist released me from the hospital. He asked me to take it (really, really) easy for 30 days. He imposed a 20pound lifting restriction on my left arm and a five-pound restriction on my right arm for five days (he performed a catheterization on that one). I could return to work the following Monday if I worked shorter hours and took it easy.

Monday morning I woke up at my usual time (3 a.m.) and covered four really easy miles. I must have missed the part about staying away from inclines (my wife reminded me of that later) because I was huffing and puffing as I made my way out of my hilly subdivision.

When I got home from work I did three more miles on the treadmill. Seven miles and six hours of work on my first day back; why not?

After all, I’m a runner!

Six days later the five-pound restriction was lifted from my right arm. I figured it was OK to work out with a 40-pound barbell. Why not?

Twenty pounds with my left arm plus 20 pounds with my right equals 40 pounds, right?

And after all, I’m a runner!

Nine days after my heart attack I did five easy miles in the morning, worked six hours, did some shopping on my way home and then some woodwork for about three hours before calling it a day. Why not, I felt great and besides, I’m a runner!

This morning, 10 days removed from my heart attack I feel like anything but a runner. I woke up feeling like I’ve been run over by a truck and beyond that have a dull ache in my

chest. Thankfully my blood pressure is acceptable or I just might be in the emergency room again. Apparently being a runner doesn’t make me different; it simply makes me human, just like anyone else.

I’ve got to stop thinking that being a runner gives me super powers or makes me invincible.

Believe me, it doesn’t. Note to self: Please slow down and smell the roses. It would be nice to have you around for another 30 or 35 years.

Things might be different if I was 31, 41 or hell, even 51. But I’m not. I’m 61. It’s time to grow up.

After all I’m not Superman. Besides, even Superman wasn’t invincible; he still had his kryptonite.

As for me, I’ve got kryptonite of my own: Believing that being a runner makes me invincible.

Take my word for it: It doesn’t.

Ultra Running

ADVERTISEMENT

Pokémon Meets Ultra Running The first time a car rolled by during The Last Annual Vol State Road race and a voice called out “Are you playing Pokémon?” I was startled. By the end of the run I was wondering if perhaps Pikachu was waiting at the Rock.

I was amused as I first learned of Pokémon, and the frenzied activity surrounding the seeking of the characters involved. Passing through one town during Vol State, Columbia, Shelbyville, Dresden?

(I lose track of the towns) I saw a group of young people at 1:00 am, or thereabouts playing Pokémon Go. They asked if we were playing. They seemed sad that we were not.

I was hesitant to even explain what we were doing. The Vol State runners impress most locals with their 314 mile trek, and inspire Road Angels (those who give aid from the goodness of their hearts, Tennessee is rife with people willing to help strangers) but I had the feeling Pokémon players would only marvel at how many eggs we could hatch on our journeys.

Yes, hatch eggs. It appears that in addition to finding characters players can also hatch eggs. The secret to hatching eggs… Cover enough kilometers. Yep by getting out and moving about cities, towns, national landmarks and cemeteries (among other places) players can collect hundreds of characters, and hatch new ones by doing enough mileage (kilometers).

Wait a minute. I see what Pokémon is up to. Pokémon is brought to us by Nintendo, yep, the same company that brought us Nintendo Wii that got thousands of people of all ages off their couches and moving about their living spaces. With Pokémon Go they have gotten thousands, perhaps millions out of their houses, and moving about their communities!

That is right. Teenagers are seeing the sunlight for the first time in years. They are out of their rooms, mother's basements and social anominity and gathering in groups to play Pokémon Go. I predict romances will be started because of Pokémon.

More importantly are the health benefits.

Realizing that dancing or even moving about the house tethered to a device was not the optimum in fitness activity Nintendo found a way to get more activity. They even give greater reward for more activity. Thus, people who did not know what a kilometer was are now speaking in them in terms of eggs hatched.

All of this gave me an idea. Perhaps there is a market for ultra runners to acquire mileage for Pokémon players. As with any game there are always those who would take advantage of “cheats”. From buying shortcuts in video games to performance enhancing drugs in sport there are always those

By Ray Krolewicz

willing to “pay extra” to get ahead.

I approached a group of five players at a park with this idea.. I asked them about this.

Their first concern was that they would not get their phones back. (My what unsuspecting and trusting youth we have.) As I hypothesized, I explained that they could sit on the bench as they were doing (taking a rest from Pokémon hunting…. And gathering kilometers) hold my phone, and I would simply run laps around the park, mostly in full view of them.

One of the students (they were all in college) asked if that would get boring. I began to explain how I had once run 222 miles around a seven lap to the mile indoor track….. I think I lost them at that point….

However, one asked, “How many kilometers is that?” Smart girl that one…. She saw the potential. I might have hatched an ultra runner.

Masters Running Cross Train to Improve Your Running We runners run a lot, some of us every day.

And then we are wondering why our legs hurt so much!

Especially as we get older, running every day can take a toll on our legs. They feel dull and achy, and when we run, it can seem like we are dragging our feet. At least that's the feeling I have on some of my runs. But if I just ran lightly the previous day, or took a yoga class instead of running, then I might feel like I'm floating on air.

With age we tend to lose some aerobic capacity and muscle mass, even if we work out. (Although we'll lose much more of it and at a faster rate if we are sedentary!) Our joints get stiffer, and some of us develop arthritis.

So, it becomes harder for us to keep up the mileage and run every day. And we might feel guilty, or even lazy, on days when we don't go out and pound the pavement.

Here's where cross training can come to the rescue, to give our legs some relief. When we engage in workouts other than running we exercise our muscles in different ways. And maybe we also wake up some muscles that we don't use much in running.

Some of you already cross train I'm sure.

Maybe you cycle, swim, or do triathlons. And

By Lena Hollmann

probably several of you lift weights and do yoga. Joey Anderson of Zebulon, NC, an ultramarathoner and Boston qualifier, does hot yoga for an hour and a half, three or four days a week. He also lifts free weights two days a week and works his core five days a week. At age 60 he competes in the Senior Grandmasters Division, and he says the cross training has helped him be competitive in this division. And yes, he runs too, five days a week!

I have done a variety of cross training activities over the years, especially indoor cycling and yoga. I also lift weights. All of

the above have helped me stay competitive as I moved up in the age groups, and from being a Masters runner to a Grandmaster, and now a Senior Grandmaster.

But this July I found myself in what some would consider a rather odd place for a runner - at the Zumba Convention! Probably most of you have at least heard of Zumba. In case you haven't, it's a dance based workout, mostly to Latin music but some International music as well. I have done Zumba for about five years, and I love it. Four years ago I also started teaching Zumba classes. Mostly the Zumba Gold version, which is somewhat 'gentler' than a regular Zumba class, and primarily geared towards seniors. Once a year we have our Zumba Instructor Convention, where we dance for four days! It's always in Orlando, and is attended by thousands of instructors.

During the Convention, I didn't run at all.

You probably didn't expect to “hear” that from an avid runner like me, but I got so much exercise dancing all day that I didn't have any energy left for running!

Normally I wouldn't recommend doing so much Zumba (or other cross training) that you are too zapped to run - since we are runners after all. But try it once or twice, and you may get hooked! Zumba is great cross training since it makes you move in different patterns and directions. When we run on the other hand, we only move in one direction, which is forward. And while this will get us to our destination (the finish line!), it doesn't help us much in improving coordination and agility.

What Zumba does to improve agility, yoga does for flexibility. Practicing yoga is a great way to stretch and loosen our muscles and joints. If you haven't stretched for a long time, a good way to start is to take a yoga class. Yoga will also improve your balance, and can make you stronger as well. Just be gentle if you are a beginner, and make sure

Running Psychology

Women’s Running

Into the “Zone”!

Fall Training Is On The Horizon

You're out running on your favorite training route and you feel totally effortless, strong, and running faster than you have ever run before. You just seem to be floating along, totally focused in the present, relaxed, and in complete control.

Time seems to stand still as you totally focus on running, not on any physical discomfort or life stressor. You are simply totally into running and very much unaware of yourself and your own thoughts. If you have ever had this running experience then you were probably in what many people, including sport psychologists, refers to as the “zone.” While “zone” is the term most commonly used, “flow” is the term most referred to in the psychology literature. Many refer to this focused, effortless experience as the “peak experience” or “peak performance.” When you have one of these running experiences you probably think to yourself how great it would be to feel this way in every run.

What then can you do to maximize the chances of getting in the “zone” and having a peak flow experience? First of all, you need to try to understand just what is actually happening when you get into the “zone.” In almost all cases being in the “zone” has specific characteristics for the runner.

The first characteristic of the “zone” is you feel totally relaxed, both physically and mentally. You're very calm and loose, yet highly energized. Next, your running feels automatic with no conscious effort being involved. You are focused in the present, not in the past or future, just totally concentrated on the now. It's like everything is just flowing along and falling into place.

Other characteristics of being in the “zone” are feelings of complete confidence with absolutely no fear. You simply know you are running well and will continue to run well. You don't analyze, you simply LET things happen! Finally, you have total control over your emotions and you can almost feel yourself being energized by your confidence. You are in complete control.

Famous sport psychologist Jim Loehr compares being in the “zone” with living in a cocoon. You are completely detached from the external environment and all distractions. The feeling is as if you were indeed in another world, totally focused and confident on what you're doing at the moment.

Psychologists understand that getting

I just returned from nine days in Daytona Beach Shores and could not believe the heat. I realized for the first time that it is never cool in the summer in Florida and there is no shade in the beach communities.

The temperature never went below the high 70s at night and walking out of the condo felt like a dive into thick soup! But it reminded me of the days when I lived and ran in south Florida and rarely realized how oppressively hot it was. But I ran with a group of doctors every Sunday and fondly remembered my friend Alan as we started out well before dawn on our summer long runs. He would optimistically state that one Sunday in the very near future there would be a touch of fall in the air and our runs could be after dawn and be much more pleasant. He was always right and we all looked forward to that cool fall morning.

In the near future all of us (even in the deep south) will feel the break in the heat of summer and begin to feel the cool breezes of fall approaching. Let us begin to plan now for that delightful change in the weather. Before long we will be complaining about how cold it is!

It would behoove you to begin planning your running schedule now while you are sitting in the air conditioning. Hopefully you have eased back in the summer heat and stayed well hydrated. Now is the time to start your plan for fall and winter. If a marathon is in your future then you can begin to gradually ramp up your miles.

Fortunately in the south we have a number of fantastic marathons in November/December/January. That works well with our weather patterns. About the time that first breath of cool air descends you will be ready to go.

If you are not planning a marathon or half marathon then you can dedicate more time to getting some speed back into your legs.

Speed is relative, but doing some of your runs a bit quicker and increasing your leg turnover will get some pep in your step.

Start with some strides, then do streetlight post to streetlight post, running harder then easier at every post. You will be amazed how quickly this will give you some speed.

If you want to run faster this fall, then you have to do some of your training faster.

One of my favorite workouts sounds simple but will definitely be difficult at first. I warm up then run fast for 30 seconds then jog for 30 seconds. See how long you can do this. I usually work up to 30/30 for 60 minutes. When you start you may be able to do 10 to 20 minutes. Once you master 30 to 60 minutes, you can try lengthening your

into the “zone” can facilitate great performances, so the big question is how can you maximize your chances of getting there? As of right now there is no 100% guaranteed way of getting into the “zone” each and every time, but there are some tricks you can do to improve your odds, and even if you don't actually reach the “zone,” these suggestions will certainly improve your running and your enjoyment of running.

First, use some imagery training every day. Imagine yourself running free, fast, and effortless. By employing imagery you can almost program your mind and body for success. Yes, imagery really does work! Next, before a race or hard training run, think only about things which are under your control. Don't focus your attention on your own self-doubts, other runners, or possible negative race experiences. Zero in on the present and use positive self-statements to boost your confidence. Just say things to your self like, “I'm fit, I'm ready and I feel great.” Don't try to analyze other runners. You have no control over them.

Optimal anxiety before running is also a key. If you feel really anxious before a race, try to relax by focusing on positive aspects of your preparation by visualizing yourself having a good race. If you feel flat, try to get yourself excited by using the same methods. The key is to do your best to get to your optimal level of prerace or pre-run anxiety or arousal, not too nervous, but not too relaxed either.

Being focused on the task at hand is another critical aspect of getting into the “zone.” Being able to concentrate when under the stress of racing can be difficult, but with practice concentration and focusing skills can be improved. The key is to continually work on concentrating in the present moment, not on your competition, weather, or how you look. Learn to narrow your focus in on what you need to do

fast time and shortening your jog time. I try to get to the point where I can do 45 seconds fast and 15 seconds jogging for 30 minutes. Obviously this workout does not take too long but does get your speed going.

Speed work can take any form. I have always believed you do not need the track, particularly if you never plan to race on the track. Increasing your speed for a minute to 10 minutes, then jogging in between for the same amount of time will teach your body how to handle a faster pace. Changing up your pace will make your runs more interesting even if you are not planning to race or do not particularly care to get faster.

Your running will be more fun if you set a few goals and plan to participate in a few races.Y ou do not have to be obsessed but it is certainly nice to reward yourself with a mini vacation to a race in an area you have always wanted to visit.

Preparing for this leads to a nice reward.

You will be more fit and hopefully you will have a fun trip.

To keep yourself motivated it is advisable to find a training group or a few training partners. I recently met two ladies at a local race who keep each other honest by meeting up three times a week to run four miles. They chat and share but it keeps them going and they have started going to local races together. They both actually took age group awards at this race and they were thrilled. Having a running buddy will definitely help you to get out there and get the job done.

Along the way as fall approaches and the season begins to turn, take time to enjoy the splendor of Mother Nature. I must admit I live in a beautiful area but I truly enjoy the changes the fall brings.

The leaves turn so beautiful. Find some trails and treat yourself to the awesome weather and changes. I have found as I become more age challenged, I enjoy my

The bat has the race name, date and “First Place” engraved on it. I think I'm going to use it to hang my marathon medals from - they're about to outgrow the current rack, anyway.

So that night I got to wear my new Bats shirt that I picked up at the last game we attended they rebranded this year. What a great night to get to wear my new shirt for the first time! My husband and I practiced throwing in the parking lot before we left to make sure I wouldn't embarrass myself.

We got to stand on the field during warmups and the National Anthem, then the male winner and I both got to throw pitches to Buddy Bat (the best mascot ever), who then threw the balls back to us to keep.

No better way to wrap up summer racing and turn my focus to Monumental - summer running, had me a blast!

Running Fitness Running From Disease, Spreading the Word It was a typical Saturday night. On Facebook. I was answering a message from a guy who was organizing the logistics for what is being promoted as the largest plantbased online seminar series with “the top experts in plant-based nutrition, lifestyle and healthcare.” We both agreed jokingly we have no life. But on further reflection, agreed that what we do now, helping others improve health, is way more important than any job we'd ever had.

I was humbled to be asked to be one of 40+ author/speakers to participate by doing a one hour interview. The 40 interviews will be broadcast live and free Sept. 7-16 and then available on the replay for a small fee, which I've donated back to the nonprofit organizing the event. It's called Plant Pure Summit.

You've probably heard enough about me over the columns I've written here, but the reason I was asked as one of the few athletes speaking at the seminar is because of this: Besides being a best-selling and prolific vegan author, I run from disease. For my age group, I've placed in 103 5K or longer races since 2006, I've been 7th in the 1500 meters at the National Senior Games, and 1st in Florida in everything from the 50 to 1500 meters.

I've also watched my aunt and both sisters get breast cancer, which got us into the original breast cancer gene studies. I'm the only healthy one in my adult family, by a long shot. Those family members with cancer also had one or more of the interconnected diseases of affluence … heart dis-

ease, diabetes, colon disease, Alzheimer's and/or arthritis.

Staying clear of these diseases has enabled me to run much longer and faster than I would have ever dreamed of when I began running 40 years ago. Many vegans like me, those who don't eat, wear, consume, or exploit any animal with a face or a mom, had epiphanies. It is usually a book, movie, video, speaker, experience or a combination that catapults us to the “a-ha!” moment. Many “enter” through health, especially since a vegan diet is now connected in research to preventing and reversing diseases of all kinds, especially heart disease. Often, the animal and environmental dots get connected through some of the most powerful movies such as “Forks Over Knives,” and “Cowspiracy.”

The seminar features leaders in the movement. I'll list as many as I can so that if you are thinking about this journey, you might want to pick up a book or a movie and just start somewhere. First, T. Colin Campbell- the most sought-after speaker

about plant-based eating, and the legendary author of the book “The China Study.” The New York Times called it “the most comprehensive study of nutrition ever conducted.” Brenda Davis, the first member of the American Dietetic Association (now named Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics) speaks about her fear of being banned from her chosen profession when she made the decision to be a vegan dietician years ago.

She's received many awards for her courage.

Dr. Caldwell Essystyn is most associated with his groundbreaking research in “Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease.”

Former president Bill Clinton credits Campbell and Essystyn with helping him go vegan to reverse his heart disease.

Dr. Neal Barnard, president of Physicians Committee, has led numerous research studies investigating the effects of diet on diabetes, body weight, and chronic pain, including a groundbreaking study of type 2 diabetes, funded by the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Barnard, one of the earliest US vegan hero doctors, has authored more than 70 scientific publications as well as 17 books, including The New York Times bestsellers “Power Foods for the Brain,” “21Day Weight Loss Kickstart,” and more.

Dr. John McDougall has helped many people (like me) go vegan and is the author of 12 national best-selling books, and medical director of the 10-day, live-in McDougall Program in Santa Rosa, California. Dr. Michael Klaper currently serves on the staff of the TrueNorth Health

HE SAID, SHE SAID CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 patches. The encouraging words of my coach and her dad, the support of my husband, and little post-it notes from my daughters all over the house, all helped me enter the event with a positive attitude. A lot of prayer helped, too.”

Betsy Slay, 49, Ultra Marathoner: “Running is my passion and I had no idea what I was getting myself into with this event as this was completely foreign territory. I bike occasionally for cross training, so that and about 10 spin classes was the extent of my preparation. I was trained for running ultra distances, so I knew my endurance was there, but could I sit on a spin bike for 24 hours? Could I stay awake for 24 hours? The first 12 hours went by fairly quickly and I felt pretty good mentally and physically, but during hours 12-15 I

Center in Santa Rosa, California, a nutritionally-based medical clinic specializing in therapeutic fasting and health improvement through a whole-foods, plant-based diet. Dr. Michael Greger may also rank as the #1 sought-after national speaker with the best humor of any speaker I've ever heard, vegan or not. He's been an expert witness in defense of Oprah Winfrey at the infamous "meat defamation" trial. Dr. Greger is the Director of Public Health and Animal Agriculture at the Humane Society of the United States.

Registration is going through the roof on this, as you might imagine. Some of you have asked for more information, so here's a response from the organizer Ron Gandiza, who I'm pretty sure never sleeps: "The Summit takes place completely online via video interviews and presentations for 10 days (Sept 7-16), with 4 to 5 speakers per day. Due to the increased number of speakers, we will be having a speaker every two hours - 12pm, 2pm 4pm, 6pm and 8pm EST, and a schedule will be posted within the next two weeks. Video recordings of each interview will be available for 24 hours after they initially air for free, and if you want to access and download them beyond the 24 hour time period, recordings of all 40+ speakers can be purchased at www.plantpuresummit.com/summitpacks, with some packs including the videos, as well as the audios (MP3s) and full transcripts (PDFs). The videos will also have captioning added."

Inspired Daily Care & Maintenance of our Most Important Equipment Hot and humid with a daily rain or thunderstorm is basically the weather report all summer long in southwest Florida. After my week-long summer running camp at the end of July, I was asked how I dry out my shoes. Let's face it, every run during the summer results in soaking wet shoes either from the rain or more likely, the sweat. So much sweat.

A friend of mine was asked if she went swimming when she returned from a run one day this summer. I had to laugh because we all look like we hopped in a pool after every run no matter how fast or slow we go, whether easy or hard run, short or long run. Here are few tips to help you care for the two most important pieces of equipment - your running shoes and your sports bra.

Starting with the shoes, I urge you to invest in a good shoe fan. What is a shoe

By Rae Ann Darling Reed

fan? For me, it was one of the most thoughtful gifts my husband gave me the first year we lived in Florida. It is simply a small round fan that sits low to the ground, tilts, and has multiple speeds (including high, which is necessary for drying out my orthotics from an evening run so they are ready for the next morning). I used it every day that I ran or went to the gym so it was used six days a week

over the past twelve years before it just stopped working. When I went to replace it, I purchased a fan that was too weak. It did not dry the shoes overnight so I returned it and my husband found the updated version of my original fan and now I'm back in business. I call it my shoe fan because that is literally it's only job.

After each run, simply remove the inserts from your shoes and lean them up against something and then start up that fan. That's the basic shoe drying technique I use. Shoes need up to 36 hours to fully dry out so add the fan to speed up that process. This is also why it is important to rotate at least two pairs of shoes.

When the shoes start to smell bad, I add two additional steps to the shoe maintenance process. I soak the inserts and shoes with Lysol to kill the bacteria that causes the odor and then a light spritz of Febreze before I set them in front of the shoe fan.

My method may not be completely scientific but it works for me and, besides, I only get about 200 miles out of my shoes since I wear a lighter more minimalist shoe so I replace them every 1-2 months anyway. A standard training shoe should last about 300-500 miles.

When drying out shoes after a run in the rain or a real muddy run, you may want to rinse them thoroughly in cold water first to remove all the dirt and debris and then follow the steps above.

Stuffing the shoes with newspaper can also help draw out the moisture from the inside a bit quicker.

My number one sports bra tip is that they should NEVER celebrate a birthday.

Depending on how frequently you purchase new shoes, be sure to include regular purchases replacing those sports bras as well. You should have a minimum of three good sports bras so that you have one to wear today, one ready to go tomorrow, and one in the wash. To care for that sports bra investment, always use a mesh bag to keep them separate from the rest of your laundry and use the gentle or delicate cycle along with a more delicate detergent whenever possible. Skip the dryer and either hang or lay sports bras flat to dry to keep their shape and elasticity intact. Besides, dryer sheets wreak havoc on our moisture wicking apparel anyway.

A little extra effort and just a few extra minutes can keep your most important gear in great shape longer, which saves you time and money in the long run.

Down the Road The Best Olympic Trials TV Coverage Ever The television coverage of the USA Olympic Trials long distance running events was so good I could not believe what I was seeing. It was so different, it seemed like a new network was doing the coverage.

From the first events covered - the women's marathon, you could see the difference. Instead of only talking about the 3 or 4 favored to win a place on the US team, they actually showed the entire list of every runner who had qualified for the trials. It seemed like a common sense thing to do since these are the best running in the US and some of the best runners in the world.

It wasn't too difficult for the network to do: they listed every qualifier, first their name, then their hometown and state and then their qualifying time. They scrolled the list in the order of their qualifying time - and after their time showed where they had run it, and how they were expected to do in the Trials race. This really made all the hard work and effort seem like it was being rewarded - whether the

By Cedric Jaggers

runner was likely to win one of the top places or not.

Then when the marathons began the coverage was great. They used a split screen so that one side would always show the run and the runners as it progressed, and commercials and the talking head commentators - who in the past have always dominated the full screen and much of the time of the race. By using the split screen the network ensured that if there was a breakaway or something exciting or unexpected happened during the race, that it was onscreen for the viewers to see.

When the top runners were coming up to the finish they showed the winner as they always do. But instead of showing the winner bending over and throwing up or breathing heavily, they put the camera on the next runners, and not just the top 3.

When the top 3 were in, they kept showing everyone who finished, with their finish time and then quickly added their name, hometown and state and finish place. We viewers actually got to see all the qualifiers finish and know where they were from. It was fantastic and unheard of to devote so much time to the actual event and not to the faces of the commentators.

When the television time came near the end, the network showed the list of everyone who had finished before they went off the air. The 3 who made the team were highlighted in red white and blue and the rest just listed in regular type. But at least we could see the names of everyone and see the ones (if any) whom we knew or had met.

The great coverage continued with the 10K and the 5K. The same devices were used for them and since there were fewer entrants, it was easier to list all the names, hometowns states etc. and the network came through. Even in the 1500 meters, when there were a few runners who got

tripped and fell or stumbled and lost a chance to kick, the commentators were careful to mention all the runners who were involved. After each event, the full list of runners who had completed the event was listed, not just the top few as has been done so often in the past. It was almost like a dream.

THEN I WOKE UP. IT WAS A DREAM! Next I watched what can politely be called the nightmare coverage. Since you probably watched, you know that the coverage of all the long distance running events was really second rate. If you heard the name of anyone except the favorites it was almost like they mentioned them by accident. A lot of screen time and cutaways from the running events went to the commentators - full screen for their faces, after all it is much more important to see them talking to each other than to see the running action on the screen. It was almost like they didn't think they could talk if their faces weren't showing. And split screen was used so rarely I almost can't remember if it happened.

Did they even mention the names of the two who were tripped up and almost fell near the back of one of the tightly packed 1500 meter male heats? Kathy and I wouldn't have known that Brandon Hudgens from our town of Rock Hill was one of them just by watching. We knew because we had looked for him and had been talking about how he needed to move up to get one of the qualifying places. But obviously the commentators didn't bother since he wasn't one of the favorites. He did recover enough to move along on time, but unfortunately didn't make the team so you never heard his name.

You get the idea. It is great to celebrate the winners, but everyone who even qualified to be there is a winner in my book and should get the recognition they deserve from it. They certainly didn't in the Trials coverage this year.

Will it be any different in the Olympic coverage from Rio since it is being done by the same network? Probably not, though they probably will at least mention any American's names even if they don't win a medal. The coverage could easily be so much better, for the trials and the Olympics, but don't hold your breath. By the time you read this, the Olympics will be over (due to deadline submission dates) but I am hoping that the coverage will be more like my dream coverage and less like the nightmare coverage we got of the Trials.

A Running Wedding

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 running much more. It is a time for me to reflect and enjoy the goodness of life. I am not racing much anymore as I think I am outgrowing that phase of my long running career. I will continue to do a few races but the peace and joy you can find in running cannot be duplicated. I often lose track of time and really get lost in thought and nature. I am blessed to still be running and enjoying it more than ever. I find it is a process and a journey that is meant to be treasured.

So enjoy the subtle changes in the weather the next few months. Mix up your running and do something new and different.

Make it a priority to let running take you to new places and adventures. But most of all be thankful that the heat and humidity are leaving to create a time for us to run comfortably!

RUNNING PSYCHOLOGY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 to run your best. In other words, don't allow yourself to become distracted, especially by any negative thoughts. Work on this during your training runs. Just like running, mental skills take practice to develop to the maximum.

Research into the “zone” and peak performance has shown that as an athlete improves their mental skills and trains properly, then the likelihood of getting into the “zone” increases, along with the chance of having that monster race you always dream about. It is quite obvious that mental preparation is indeed the key to great performance. Be honest with yourself. How can you expect to run your best, even if you are well trained physically, if you can't put it together mentally?

While you can't guarantee you will always be able to reach the “zone,” you can at least give yourself the best opportunity. So start today working on your mental training. With the proper physical training, a good mental training program can go a long way in helping you reach that “peak performance” and you will simply “flow” along in your next big race.

We've seen the film about the Runaway Bride, but on June 11, avid runners, Allison Pastorek & Richard Myers, actually put on their running shoes and along with many of their closest friends and family took off running for a Saturday morning run and became Mr. and Mrs. Richard Myers. The run started on the Tweetsie Trail in Johnson City, TN, with the usual pre-race activities. The ceremony, which took place on the run, was performed by a close friend of the happy couple, with vows and rings exchanged along 1.5 miles of the trail. The couple was pronounced husband and wife close to the Milligan Depot, where the running party stopped to congratulate the Bride and Groom and take pictures.

The group headed back to the finish line, where they were greeted with a finish line banner and finisher medals. A pancake breakfast awaited the runners and guests of the wedding, along with wedding cake that was decorated with an edible running shoe that the Bride and Groom wore, along with the caption “The Perfect Pair.” The Bride and Groom wanted to make their wedding a fun morning for everyone involved and for them and their family and friends it felt like they were just out for a regular Saturday morning race/running event. Fitness plays a huge part in this couples life; they wanted their marriage to begin modeling their healthy lifestyle with their fitness family … living the wedding theme “The Perfect Pair - In It Mr. & Mrs. Richard Myers for the Long Run!”

The running party stops for a photo with the happy couple.

HE SAID, SHE SAID CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 hit a wall that I thought would end my ride ... our ride. My body wanted to stop and sleep so badly and my brain was screaming 'It's over, you can't go on!' I quit a million times in my mind during those hours, but somehow my body kept going. I believe that all the running training I've done over the past 5 years helped my body to stay on autopilot until I could get my head back in the game. The knowledge that if I quit, all the team's efforts would be for naught was also a huge factor. I believe this experience has been invaluable to me as an athlete - and as a person. I know that I am stronger than I think I am and can overcome any challenge set before me.

Michelle Czelusniak, 31, Determined Novice Athlete and 5k Finisher: “I don't have a lot of experience in anything fitness related. I never even liked sports as a kid -except horseback riding, and that was just making something else run for me. So after I quit smoking just over a year ago I started trying the whole exercise thing. I remember dying on that stupid treadmill. Running a mile took me forever and like, 15 breaks to get there! It took me about 6 months to be able to run 3 miles. But I was so freakin' proud of myself. Three miles is still my average that I do a few times a week. I made it to 5 once and was ecstatic but it also put me out of commission for a month due to injury (which, consequently, is when I started doing spin).

So I don't really know… I guess I learned to just keep pushing forward. And that I'm

capable of much more than I ever thought I'd be able to do!”

Brittany Irvine, 24, Runner: “I would have never thought I could have accomplished something like this. The longest distance I have ever trained for was a half marathon and what it has taught me was to pace myself.

There would have been no way I would have been able to take a normal spin class 24 times over. The biggest surprise for me was that I made it through all 24 hours. However, the biggest lesson I learned was that I can make it through a lot before I'm ready to give up. I am able to push myself past my injuries, fears, 'tiredness' to accomplish great things. 'Don't stop when it hurts, stop when it's done.'”

Roxanne Youngs, 62, Long-Distance Runner and Coach (who joined the team only 3 hours before the ride started, so that the team would have the Guinness-required 10 students in class): Ultra training has increased my leg strength and my endurance. I would rather run slowly all day now than run a 5k. I go to bed early and I fall asleep at the movies so I was amazed that I stayed awake for 33 hours and still felt fine. My goal is to one day complete a 100 miler. There's still a few records out there to be set by older women and I learned that I may be a contender.”

MASTERS RUNNING CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 you don't stretch your muscles and joints so hard that it hurts. I have done yoga for years, and try to attend a class at least once a week.

Some of you cycle, and I do too. I stay indoors though, in a cycling studio or maybe on my exercise bike at home. Cycling outdoors on busy roads can be a dangerous pursuit, because of all the distracted and sometimes also angry motorists out there! But if you chose less busy roads, stay attentive, and cycle with a group, it can still be enjoyable and comparatively safe. And regardless whether you bike on the roads or in a studio, it can give you a good cardio workout, without the pounding that comes with running.

An indoor bike can also come to the rescue when the weather is too hot, cold, wet, icy, or windy to have a safe and enjoyable run outdoors.

Or maybe you swim. If you are a skilled swimmer, you can get a hard workout in a pool or in open water. I never learned how to swim freestyle, so instead I swim the breaststroke at a snail's pace. My time in the pool is therefore mostly for recreation, and to loosen up my legs. And I sometimes get a vertical workout in the water, when I opt to teach or take a water aerobics class.

I also lift weights, trying to get at least two sessions in per week. Usually I focus on core and upper body, although I work my legs as well, with lunges, squats and wall sits. I either do my own workout, or I take a

BodyPump class, offered at my hometown YMCA. BodyPump is a branded class where we use barbells and weights to tone our entire body. I find it helpful sometimes to have an instructor push me to move on from one exercise to another, and to have fellow class participants to work out with!

There used to be a time though, when all I did was run. No cycling or yoga, and no lifting weights. No Zumba either, since it wasn't invented back then! I ran six or seven days a week, and could usually get away with it without injury since I was so much younger than I am now. And if I did take a day or two away from running, I would indeed feel guilty a lot of the time!

If we want to become good runners and do well at the races, we do need to run. This is according to a well known training principle called specificity, which states that if we want to do well in a specific sport or activity, we have to train that activity. However, as we get older we also need to give our running muscles more recovery time. Which is not the same as hanging out on the couch watching the Olympics or college football, by the way! Instead, we need to include active recovery in our training. And with all the options that are available I'm sure you can find one that works for you.

Athletic Quilt Streetlight 5K Morganton, NC – 7/16 The Athletic Quilt Streetlight 5k started a new era Saturday night, July 16, at Freedom High School. After 21 years of running the 3.1 mile race down Fleming Drive the race directors were forced to find a new home due to DOT regulations. Thanks to Freedom High principal Mike Swan and the Burke County Schools, 206 runners tested out their new course. The new course received great praise and looks to be a great new venue. All the overall winners and age group winners automatically set new course records. The race directors plan to keep both course records and overall Streetlight records.

Dave Max, 40, of Hickory pulled away from the crowd around the two-mile mark to post the overall win in 17:14. Fellow Hickory resident, Jayden Hefner, 17:39, just held off Draughn High Schools, Josh Ross, 17.43 for second overall. On the ladies side Danielle Ramanathon, 34, of Winston Salem ran 19:52 to defeat two 17 year old runners to get the top female prize. Amber Opp who will be running for Draughn High this fall ran a solid 20:46 to finish second, with Ashley Ramirez of Hickory running 21:12 to take third overall female.

Kim Hopkins of Lincolnton won the masters division (40 and over) for the second straight year in 23:52.

Shannon Sherfey, 24:14, of Taylorsville and Deborah Huffman, 26:49, of Hildebran finished second and third respectively. Jason Harris of Hickory ran 19:02 to win the men’s master division for the second time in three years.Dwight Winters, 19:46, and Bryan Jones, 20:13, both of Morganton finished second and third. One of the top individual performances was Finn Hassing of Hickory. At 72 years of age Hassing ran 22:27. While finishing 42nd overall, he also completed the course almost 2 minutes faster than anyone over 70 in the 22 years of the running of the Streetlight race.

Learning from the Young Guns Finding Your Stride Growing up in rural Indiana I was a basketball player before I was ever a runner, and there was nobody I wanted to be more like than Reggie Miller, the face of the Indiana Pacers in the 1990’s. As a young basketball player I did everything I could to emulate Reggie, including his unconventional shooting form (and excluding his world-class trash talking). Despite being one of the best shooters of all time, Reggie’s shot had an awkward release where his wrists would clang together, both hands flung open toward the basket. This is not the way young players, myself included, are taught to shoot, but in my infinite wisdom I assumed Reggie knew best and I religiously practiced his unique style. It is a dangerous thing to emulate someone just because they happen to be good at what they do, and while that is one in a long list of reasons my NBA dreams went unfulfilled, it rings true for running technique as well.

Everyone is put together differently and while most of the best runners look fluid and smooth, it’s more important that you find the correct technique for you rather than try to emulate someone else’s.

There is a lot said about foot strike, and like many things in the running world it can be difficult to sift through all the information available. Thinking about that question a little differently is the best way to clear up the issue. Rather than thinking about how your foot is striking the ground, think about where your foot is striking the ground. Jim Ryun, former world record holder in the mile, was a prominent heel striker, but he did a good job of landing with his foot close to his body and under his center of gravity.

While it’s true heel strikers are more likely to over stride, it’s the over striding we want to avoid not necessarily the heel striking. The two are correlated but they don’t have a cause-effect relationship. Think about your feet landing under your hips and the foot strike issue becomes moot. If your foot is landing well out in front of you then you are increasing stress on your knees and hips and decreasing running efficiency. Bringing that foot under your center of gravity and directly under your hips decreases the impact stress on your joints and improves your efficiency of movement.

One corrective measure for over striding is increasing your cadence, or how frequently your feet strike the ground. You should aim for roughly 180 foot strikes per minute (90 on each foot) and if you are over striding your cadence will typically be significantly lower than that.

There are other possible causes of low cadence; including excessive vertical movement, but targeting 180 foot strikes per minute will improve your efficiency, regardless of the cause.

Bill Rodgers is undoubtedly one of the best marathoners the US has ever seen and went his entire running career without being injured, a rarity among all runners, elite or otherwise. If you watch Bill run his arm swing is asymmetrical with a unique lateral motion. If Bill would have forced himself out of that arm motion it’s quite possible Bill may never have stayed healthy enough to win 4 Boston Marathons and 4 New York City Marathons. Bill has a significant leg length discrepancy and his arm motion was his body’s natural way of compensating for that discrepancy.

By in large, your arms are counter balances to your legs and motion in your hips. You want to keep your shoulders and arms relaxed and drive them well up hills and at the end of races for added power and momentum, but forcing them out of their natural plane of motion is likely to create

more problems than solutions. Focus on keeping your arms and shoulders relaxed and your elbow angle at roughly 90 degrees, but leave the rest of the corrections to hip strength and posture.

If your arms cross your body’s centerline while running your issue is most likely lack of hip stability as opposed to bad arm motion. The arms are merely a symptom of what’s happening below the waist. To fix the root cause your focus should be on strengthening your hips. Primarily, this includes the gluteus muscles, internal and external rotators, and your hip flexors. The most common of all running related maladies is lack of hip stabilization, and it is the culprit of a whole host of running injuries including knee pain, IT band syndrome, hip pain and even sciatic nerve pain among many others. If you are struggling with an overuse injury the chances are high the root cause is in your hips.

Posture plays an important role in the way your hip muscles, primarily the gluteus muscles, engage, and poor posture compromises your glutes’ ability to stabilize your hips properly. Think about keeping the spine long and relaxed, as if you are trying to create space between the vertebrae.

This will keep you from leaning too far forward, pushing your hips behind your center of gravity, and rotating your hips too far forward. If you’ve ever had low back pain or tightness after a run that is a good sign your hips are rotated too far forward, meaning the front of your hips sits below the back of your hips. That rotation limits your ability to stabilize your hips properly and can lead to a variety of future problems. In addition to lengthening your spine while you’re running, focus on both strengthening and lengthening your hip flexors. The hip flexors are critical in keeping your hips in a more balanced front-to-back position.

There are some universal principles of proper running technique, but they look slightly differently on all of us.

Whether you’re shooting like Reggie Miller or Michael Jordan, use these principles as a guide to a healthier and faster you.

FALL SHOE REVIEW

2016

NEUTRAL—3

MOTION STABILIZING—3 PERFORMANCE—4

Change is inevitable, as the adage goes. Sometimes it’s incremental and at others, it’s a torrent. This season it’s somewhere between the two, though significant in its scope.

Familiarity with automation and customization has caused consumers to believe that everything should be 3D printed and delivered in the proverbial blink of an eye. We have not yet arrived at that point, though computer-generated design and manufacturing are headed in that direction. The actual changes have come with the adoption of new formulations of thermoplastic elastomers, which have been making their way into the upper end of many running shoe brands. This has resulted in better performance, more reliable lightweight components, and much lighter weight in both the midsole and the support of the upper.

For nearly five years, design choices based on geometry have been key, and this season they’re responsible for a crop of shoes that obscure the stark divisions among shoes considered lightweight, stable, or wellcushioned. This means that each shoe works for a broader swath of runners. While that’s important, these new shoes feature innovations in the upper’s fit and the midsole’s function, raising the bar even higher. The most obvious improvement? Much of the excess material at the shoes’ top, midsole, and bottom has been carved away or replaced with lighter components and foams. The result is that shoes designed to stabilize are noticeably lighter than ever before. So pervasive is this trend that 60% of the shoes in this Review fall into the Performance category, while offering varying degrees of motion stabilizing or cushioning that a light weight used to preclude. This is a trend we’ve never before seen.

Since its inception, this Review has been dedicated to pointing you in the right direction with a variety of shoe choices. Your staunchest ally in vetting your personal shoe selection is the local running specialty store, which carries the best selection of viable options for you and can assist in identifying the best fit for you.

2016 Fall Shoe Review

Welcome to the 2016 Fall Running Network Shoe Review. Of the many shoe reviews we produce throughout the year, the Fall and Spring reviews are the largest and focus on the finest 20 training shoes offered in each of those seasons.

Our biannual shoe reviews are the work of a team of experts who’ve worked together for nearly two decades. Cregg Weinmann, aka The Shoe Man, is the Running Network’s footwear and apparel review editor. The project is designed by graphic artist Kristen Cerer. Marg Sumner is our proofreader, and her clear eyes minimize our grammar mistakes. The entire project is managed by Christine Johnson, who works with Cregg to edit the reviews into the most useful and digestible format. She coordinates every aspect of the project—from editing to design and distribution of the finished project to our publishers. I continue to be amazed and grateful to these people, who see their work as part of the relationship that we nurture with the readers of our 26 Running Network publications and 38 websites.

You’ll find this 2016 Fall Shoe Review in print, digital, and social. And soon you’ll begin to see the reviews in video form as well, courtesy of The Shoe Addicts, our digital partners. If you’d like to see shoe reviews on a daily basis, visit www.runningproductreviews.com, where Cregg posts these reviews from our print features as well as new reviews that didn’t make it into traditional print.

In closing, I thank you for reading the reviews in your local regional specialty running magazine or one of our national specialty titles. Please pass the word to others who may benefit from the work we do. And one more thing: When you decide to purchase a pair of Performance running shoes, go to the place that respects the product as much or more than you do—your local specialty running store. (Try on at least six pairs of shoe—at the end of the day and with clean socks.) With these reviews we hope to help you find the perfect pair of training shoes for your upcoming fall and winter running.

Whether at a cross country race, road race, or marathon, I hope our paths cross soon!

Mizuno Enigma 6

The introduction of the Quantum 360 demonstrated an efficient melding of footwear technologies and processes. Round 2 (maybe more like Round 1.5) uses this platform to introduce a next-generation development. The upper has been revamped—literally—with a new vamp that features Chameleon Mesh. A new ASICS material, it has a 3D surface that displays different angles as the foot moves, and tiny fins on its reflective surface display various colors as the foot moves past the viewer. Surface pores on the mesh allow the foot to breathe, but the effect is unique and, most important, effective. The heel is cupped by a new thermoplastic support that anchors the upper. The midsole features the same chassis as the original: Solyte foam with a perimeter of GEL cushioning. The outersole carries over the segmented border of rubber, with an elongated oval under the forefoot that provides traction and durability. Its high-visibility upper, unique firm ride, and durable cushioning confirm the GEL-360 CM as both a technology testbed and an effective Neutral trainer.

Nine seasons ago the Ghost replaced the Radius 7 as Brooks’ Neutral running mainstay.

Since that time, it’s frequently been a top contender in the Neutral category. That’s the case this year, too. The upper features a combination of stiffer engineered mesh for support, plus soft mesh and linings for comfort, both layers working together to move moisture away from the foot. The midsole contours provide an improved ride, while meeting the same goal: protection and performance. On first inspection the outersole appears the same, but a closer look reveals that the size of the lugs differs depending on task: traction, durability, and flexibility, larger to smaller, respectively. The Omega groove, the molded depression that runs from heel to toe, is now filled in over portions of the forefoot to ensure a better crossover to toe-off. Its attention to detail, design upgrades, and overall comfort earned the Ghost 9 our award for best shoe in the Neutral category.

As it motors toward a decade and a half, the Glycerin is a testament to staying power.

Building solidly on the strengths of Rounds 12 and 13, the Glycerin 14 emphasizes plush high-mileage comfort. The upper shows a concerted effort to stabilize the midfoot and improve the vamp by reshaping the saddle and using thinner, printed overlays between the saddle and toe. The flexibility of the upper is also improved by the use of Stretch Print, 3D-printed polymer strands with elastic properties that conform to the foot’s movement. The midsole has been thoroughly dialed in from Round 13, with the usual minor changes this type of update brings. The outersole has closed a bit of the open area in the midfoot by adding a few strips of rubber, discernible to only the most sensitive runners. By improving the fit, shaving off a few grams of weight, and improving the smooth feel and ride, Brooks has made this update a success.

The adage “Don’t mess with success” has been thoroughly embraced by Mizuno’s development team and is on full display in the Enigma 6. The upper features a new dual-layer mesh in the vamp, supported by internal strapping and a stitched toecap. The stretch mesh accommodates bunions and wider forefeet, just as before, but with more support in the heel. The midsole is the proven dual-layer polyolefin foam—U4ic near the foot, U4icX nearest the ground—with the two layers separated and enhanced by the parallel wave plate, which really delivers a responsive and smooth ride. The outersole is retained from Round 5 because Mizuno always tries to keep what works. Enigma fans can rest assured that this is still their shoe. And those unfamiliar with it but looking for a plush road cruiser should give the Enigma 6 a tryout.

MO TION STA B ILIZING 361˚ Strata

$

150

The Strata is the latest new shoe from 361˚ and slips in at the top of its running line. The upper is engineered stretch mesh in the forefoot and a stiffer mesh in the tongue, midfoot, and rearfoot, with fused no-sew overlays through the saddle. The heel has a thermoplastic clip, and traditional stitched overlays secure the saddle and rearfoot to the heel. The midsole features two layers of 361˚’s Qu!kfoam, a full-length layer near the foot, and a denser layer in the lateral heel. It also sports two densities of traditional EVA foam: one that creates the framework for the Qu!kfoam and a denser layer that shores up the medial sidewall.

The result is a cushy, but responsive foam sandwich. The outersole is roughly shaped like a figure-8, with blown rubber in the forefoot, carbon rubber in the rearfoot, and a trio of tapered chevrons down the middle of the forefoot beneath an exposed portion of the Qu!kfoam. The combination of a smooth and stable ride, top-notch construction, and effective melding of materials makes the Strata an excellent shoe.

Karhu Fluid 5 MRE

New Balance 860 v7

$

The Vengeful Boost is the third new running shoe from adidas in as many seasons. Its siblings, the UltraBoost and UltraBoost ST, aimed at the top tier of the market, but here the goal was to protect the runner and his or her wallet. The upper is a uniform open mesh, covered with a soft and pliable lining that feels nice and gentle against the foot.

The tongue is kept in place with a gusset, and the ankle collar has just enough padding for comfort. The midsole is full-length Boost TPU foam, with its long-lasting, bouncy feel and is topped by an EVA layer to smooth the ride. A well-shaped medial structure that adidas calls StableFrame improves the stability of the heel. The outersole is full-length rubber, with a full-contact bottom and low-profile lugs that offer good cushioning. The release of earlier Boost shoes offered lessons that the Vengeful Boost benefits from, so the openings in its outersole are effectively placed for flexibility and traction. Dollar for dollar, the Vengeful Boost provides a great combination of performance and value; in fact, it was enough to earn it our award for best shoe in the Motion Stabilizing category.

“Fit well without any extra material, [which is] fine by me because it was light. The ride is wellcushioned, stable, responsive. This was the best shoe I’ve run in over the past few years.”

The Fluid 5 MRE combines Karhu’s Fulcrum midsole technology with a traditional approach to stabilizing foot motion and preserving the shoe’s structural integrity. The upper is an open airmesh with traditional overlays at heel and toe and welded overlays in the midfoot and toe cap. The ankle collar and tongue don’t skimp on the linings or padding, making them comfortable to wear. The midsole is a combination of injection-molded foam nearest the ground, compression-molded foam in the heel, a TPU plate to disperse the load, and the MRE fulcrum beneath the arch. (MRE stands for Maximum Rolling Effect, which describes what happens as the fulcrum’s pivot point quickly rolls the foot forward from heel to toe.)

The outersole is toughened rubber, and the heel is designed for toughness, with a little air added to the forefoot rubber to soften the road feel. Multiple flex grooves allow the foot freedom to move and flex unimpeded. The new aesthetic is sharp, and the technical design moves the brand’s performance forward as well.

“Solidly built, stable, fit well, [and even] has a bear on the side. These were a very pleasant surprise. Shoes from the smaller brands can be every bit as good as any shoe out there.”

Motion stabilizing has been a New Balance strength for well over two decades, ever since the birth of the original 850, ancestor of the current 860. Version 7 rides New Balance’s recent successes in racing and performance shoes by concentrating on the strength of the 860’s function: stability. The upper is a combination of engineered mesh, no-sew overlays from the saddle forward, and traditional overlays that anchor the heel, saddle, and toecap.

The heel counter is asymmetrical to lend extra support to the medial side. The midsole is a two-density EVA, firm but protective, with medial posting throughout the arch. A layer of TruFuse, a blended foam, tops off the midsole just beneath the EVA Strobel board. The segmented outersole is blown rubber in the forefoot, with two flex grooves breaking up the surface. The heel setup is carbon rubber divided front to back to allow the heel portion to flex laterally. To say the 860 v7 is solid would understate its high-mileage performance.

New Shoe Sizes: Men 6.5–13,14; Women 6–11 Weight: 11.4 oz. (men’s 11); 9.2 oz. (women’s 8) Shape: semicurved Construction: Strobel slip-lasted Recommended for: low- to medium-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to excessive pronation

Updates the Fluid 4 Sizes: Men 8–12,13,14; Women 6–12 Weight: 12.8 oz. (men’s 11); 10.1 oz. (women’s 8) Shape: semicurved Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, perforated EVA Strobel board Recommended for: to medium-high–arched feet with mild to moderate pronation

“I expect the 860 to perform, and Round 7 is better than before—great ride. The interior of the shoes [is] much more comfortable than previously.”

Updates the 860 v6 Sizes: Men 7–13,14,15,16 (D,2E); Women 5–13 (B,D) Weight: 12.5 oz. (men’s 11); 9.9 oz. (women’s 8) Shape: semicurved Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, EVA Strobel board Recommended for: low- to medium-high– arched feet with mild to moderate pronation

PERFORMANCE adidas adiZero Boston 6 Boost

$

120

Altra Torin 2.5

$

125

The longstanding affiliation between adidas and the Boston Marathon is the inspiration for the adiZero Boston. Round 6 thoroughly dials in the features and performance of the shoe. The upper trades the open mesh of Round 5 for an engineered mesh with a semi-open weave in the forefoot and stiffer mesh from the saddle to the heel. A molded external heel counter supports the rearfoot. The stitched toecap of Round 5 has been replaced by a more flexible, internal, fused support. The midsole is low-profile Boost foam within a minimal EVA frame, which together deliver a responsive bounce to the ride. The outersole is full-length Continental® rubber, with rows of oval-shaped holes that keep things light while adding traction. This update is an exclamation point on the intended purpose of the Boston franchise: a close-fitting tempo shoe that works well for long races, while remaining sturdy enough for daily training.

“Snug-fitting, light, and responsive—in a word: Fun! The lining of the ankle collar and tongue gave me the option of barefoot runs (and I did).”

Once an upstart brand, Altra has now established itself, if not in the mainstream, at least in the stream. The Torin is one of the more versatile Altra models, with a light feel and a well-cushioned, stable ride. Version 2.5 is an intermediate step for the model, which focuses on the upper instead of the whole shoe. The primary change? It now sports a closed mesh and 3D-printed support from an all-over design. The shoe’s logos are embossed on both the medial and lateral sides. The thickness adds structure just like the 3D printing, which, in actuality, it is. The changes to the upper haven’t affected the ride of the shoe as it sits on the 2.0’s chassis. Like the 2.0, this version of the Torin proved popular with some of our long-time testers, who especially liked the stability of the fullcontact bottom, the flexibility of the sole, and the resilient ride from a substantial portion of A-Bound foam. If you’re in the market for a lightweight, well-cushioned training shoe, the Torin is certainly worth a look.

“Hadn’t tried Altra before, and I liked what I felt.

Roomy fit, well-cushioned, and pretty stable.”

PERFORMANCE ASICS Dynaflyte

NEW SHOE Fall 2016

$

140

ASICS has a technology center in Kobe, Japan tasked with developing and testing materials and products for the brand. The new Dynaflyte was the result of considerable effort: A new foam was developed for it, and techniques and materials have been changed, all to infuse new life into ASICS’ shoes. The upper is semiclosed, but breathable mesh. The weave has a corduroy-like appearance that adds to the shoe’s futuristic look.

Linings in the ankle collar and tongue are soft against the foot, and the lightweight, welded overlays effectively shape and support the upper. The midsole is where the real magic happens, though. An aggregate of foamed plastic and organic fibers, they stretch and then recoil with every compression, allowing less material to be used and making the shoe lighter in the process. The outersole is a typical ASICS setup: AHAR highabrasion rubber in the heel, with blown rubber in the forefoot, a small midfoot shank on the medial side, the rest toughened foam, but much less rubber overall to make it very lightweight. The performance, materials, and execution garnered the Dynaflyte our award for Best New Shoe.

The Clifton was the first HOKA shoe to enter the Performance category, bringing max cushioning with it. Round 3 delivers more of the same, only better. The upper is closed mesh with no-sew overlays, and the fit has been reworked so it provides more room up front and better tailoring all around. While spare (to keep things light), the ankle collar has a plushness to it so comfort hasn’t been sacrificed. The midsole is softly cushioned and flexible, without being mushy. The protection from unevenness and road detritus is as evident as ever. The outersole continues as before: a few squares of rubber over a toughened foam layer, with some of the raised portions managing cushioning and traction. The key takeaway? The Clifton 3 is light, well-cushioned, and easily handles a variety of paces and miles.

Perhaps Mizuno’s most versatile shoe, the Sayonara enters Round 4, with a little of its flash restored and its reasonable price intact. The upper sports a wide-open mesh topped with a minimesh and has an effective and traditionally stitched toecap and heel. The midfoot is supported by a small saddle created by the Run Bird logo and welded overlays that extend to the toe. I’m not sure how they did it, but the upper is almost unnoticeable when you’ve got the shoe on. The midsole is indistinguishable from Round 3, a trait Mizuno shoes are frequently noted for: nearly glacial change. The outersole carries over the carbon heel and blown rubber forefoot adopted in Round 3, which are likely responsible for the cost savings appreciated by consumers. Another constant is that the Sayonara is one effective running shoe, suitable for high-mileage training and longer races as well as everything in between.

“The Sayonara has a great ride: stable and firm.

For me, it has fit well, supported well, and is a mileage beast.”

The Vazee Pace took its name from a variant of the French “let’s go,” but this time the question is, how do you say “go faster?” The Vazee Pace 2 picks right up where the debut version left off. As is true with most of the industry, the upper features a smooth interior and no-sew overlays that are flexible and sueded. A small saddle created by three elements—the closed rearfoot mesh, the New Balance logo, and heavier sueded and stitched overlays that extend from the eyestays—anchors the foot well, while affording the forefoot room to move. The midsole features new tooling, but functions as before. It’s well-cushioned and shaped for speed, but is great for daily miles as well. The outersole has a bit more rubber than Round 1, though with more flex grooves, so it’s a wash as the ride is not noticeably different. The ride, versatility, and fit earned the Vazee Pace 2 a tie for our award for best shoe in the Performance category.

“The first round was a surprise, with its fit and ride.

Round 2 is surprisingly better! Plush interior, wellcushioned, flexible, it’s great to run in.”

With two significant introductions—the Lunar Epic and the Lunar Epic Low—the Flyknit running family has expanded this year. The Lunar Epic Flyknit Low has the typical silhouette of a running shoe. The upper has the expected Flyknit design: the stretchy knit portion, Flywire to the lacing, five to a side, and a thin Flyknit tongue stitched to the vamp. Unlike the Lunar Epic Flyknit, the ankle collar is a traditional setup, with a smooth lining that conforms well to almost all feet, without irritation. The midsole is the same as its mid-high sibling: Lunarlon with soft and firmer urethane layers that manage the cushioning duties of the shoe. The sidewall has thin sipes laser-cut into its surface, and pods on the sole of the shoe are similarly siped, allowing the sole to telescope along the sipes for better articulation with the ground. The effect is a comfortable and responsive ride. The stretchy fit conforms well to a good proportion of feet, which could make it your perfect shoe.

Performance Fall 2016

One of an increasing handful of shoes that blur the lines between traditional running shoe categories, the LunarGlide 8 is light enough to be a Performance shoe, unobtrusive enough to be a Neutral shoe, and stable enough to be a Motion Stabilizing shoe. The upper is engineered mesh with minimal and surprisingly effective overlays. Flywire strands offer a number of lacing options to improve on the good fit, and the use of smooth materials and a gusseted tongue make the fit exceptional, even for barefoot use. The midsole/outersole is a formulation of Lunarlon first seen in the Lunar Epic, consisting of a urethane carrier and outersole with a softer, injected PU just under the foot. The lateral sidewall and outersole pods have narrow sipes cut into the foam, allowing the surface to articulate as the foot moves and the shoe contacts the ground. The effect is a soft landing and toe-off, and while it seems that it might wear down quickly, it’s surprisingly durable. Its new materials, weight, and performance earned it our Best Renovation Award.

“What a change! It’s like a brand new shoe. Really comfortable to run in. Great cushion, great ride.”

When Puma introduced Ignite foam in its shoe of the same name, we found it to be impressively durable stuff. Enter the Speed 500 Ignite, a new shoe that makes great use of the foam for its durable performance characteristics. The upper is an open mesh supported by the iconic Puma form stripes and welded overlays running from the toe to the heel—just enough structure without weighing it down. The midsole employs a top layer of Ignite over a molded carrier layer of injection-molded EVA that’s lightweight, flexible, and durable. Most important, it functions as a sort of launch pad for the Ignite foam. The Ignite layer is thickest under the power region—the forefoot—to add springiness to the toe-off, and it’s thinnest in the heel. The outersole is injected blown rubber, with a denser layer of rubber shaped like an elongated football lengthwise under the forefoot.

The ride is pretty snappy and the protection, good. If you need a shoe for faster running, the Speed 500 Ignite just might be what you’re looking for.

“Low-profile shoe that has some cushion, pretty good actually. Fit well, but nothing complicated.

It’s a fast shoe that can handle the distance as well.”

Every season the Saucony line upgrades a few more styles to its Everun foam and the Zealot is the latest to receive this bump up. The upper benefits from use of the ISO Fit system, a cage-like lacing system that allows a more supportive and conforming midfoot fit. Its proven effectiveness affords a fit missing from a traditional setup. The open mesh also carries over, and it breathes well, even in very warm conditions. In Round 2 the midsole is upgraded to Everun, a blown TPU foam that’s responsive and well-cushioned.

This change alone has made a good shoe into a great one. The outersole continues with its effective chevron-shaped pattern that offers excellent grip and durability, a combination that’s hard to beat. The combination of dialed-in components and material upgrades earned the Zealot 2 a tie for our award for best shoe in the Performance category.

Skechers GOMeb Strada 2

The Strada 2 is in excellent company in this Review: It’s among five shoes that are upgraded updates. (I know this should be expected, but trust me, it doesn’t always work that way.) Building on the success of the initial version, improvements make Round 2 even better. The upper received the most attention with a new minimesh and welded overlays; the fit and moisture management are better. The ankle collar and tongue are softer as well, cozying up the feel around the ankle and across the vamp. The midsole tooling remains, but a new polyurethane Strobel board has improved both comfort and ride. The unchanged outersole features toughened foam on the medial heel and lateral forefoot, with an additional coating on the toughened foam from lateral heel to medial forefoot. The upgrades result in a better ride and fit, while carving almost an ounce from the shoe. This spells success in our book.

Under Armour Charged Bandit 2

VALUE Fall 2016

$

100

This fall’s update to the light stability Charged Bandit has called on innovations from other Under Armour shoes. Now the upper features Speedform lasting (a UA exclusive that’s created in a brassiere factory), complete with its flexible heel clip, no-sew overlays, gusseted tongue, and a new, sleek-fitting upper. Where some earlier Under Armour shoes were so sleek they could cramp your toes, the Charged Bandit 2’s toe box has plenty of room without being baggy. The midsole combines elements from earlier Under Armour shoes: The Charged Cushioning from last year’s shoe is combined with UA’s Micro G foam below for a soft feel against the foot and a firmer foam for contact with the ground. And it works. The outersole is firm rubber (heel) and a softer rubber (forefoot), both strategically segmented to manage traction and provide a flexible forefoot. Perhaps the best thing about the Bandit 2 is its attention to detail—especially the detail of price—which earned it our award for Best Value.
