Where Have All The Runners Gone?

I realized as I sit here writing my monthly column, that I am getting closer to my fifth decade of running. I am not sure how that happened but time moves relentlessly forward. I look at runners nowadays and wonder if I were ever that young! I suspect I was but never fully appreciated youth when I was there. So my retreat into past years has made me wonder where all of the runners I have known over the years have gone.

Certainly a few remain, but most have passed from the running scene.

I suspect many have succumbed to a plague of injuries that have finally sidelined them. Some may have found more interesting sports and still others may have retired to the couch. I used to go to races and see so many friends. I actually ran a 5K this past weekend and most of the usual participants were not present. As with life, runners must also move onward.

I am certain that many runners are being more selective about running races as the cost of entering a race has escalated far faster than the economy. I must say I salute races that have a family plan. I cannot imagine having a family of four or more and trying to cope with the costs. One of the women I have coached for several decades recently left me a scathing message on my answering machine complaining about the entry fees to some local races. She and her daughter wanted to run a race for fun but there was nothing funny about the cost of admission. Other races provide a reduced rate for no tee shirt. Certainly most every runner has too many tee shirts and many prefer not to be a walking billboard! And of course there are so many races every weekend.

Thus there are a number of reasons for not running and I suspect cost may be one of the main reasons. Running used to be such a simple sport. You put on a pair of shoes and shorts and headed out the door. Now there are enough gadgets and apparel options to make your head spin. I hate to say the average runner must spend hundreds of dollars to exercise.

I would certainly be naive to expect a return to the late 70s as most youngsters(that would be anyone younger than I am!) would obviously rebel. But it would be a good idea to think about why you run and try to take some positives from it. Most of us had a reason to begin running, which has most likely gotten lost over the intervening years. Try to remember why you started and why you continue or have stopped.

Many people "hate" running. If that is you, then find something else to do. I cannot imagine hating an activity I choose to do regularly. If you do not like to run then

By Carolyn Mather, RN, PhD.

please for your own sake, give it up. There are many challenging activities, so discover what makes your heart sing. Cherish those moments when it is just you and Mother Nature.

If you choose to run, then do it with joy and purpose. I recently saw an ad that said a six-minute mile and a 12-minute mile are both still a mile. Become less obsessive and take in the world around you. You are only in this life once, so enjoy each and every moment. You could even leave your watch at home every so often.

I must admit I have seen things many travelers have not as I try to absorb my surroundings everywhere I travel. Even at home I attempt to make every run a unique adventure. I cannot even imagine giving up running unless I had to do so due to injury.

I certainly do not have much speed any longer but I continue to be blessed with the sensory abilities to smell the flowers and watch the world go by as I meander along.

Motivate yourself by remembering the reasons you run. Certainly you are healthier and take better care of yourself. If you are competitive, enjoy the process of dealing with the pain of hard workouts. Coming home in the hot and humid summer months, I marvel at how much sweat I produce. I love to be dripping wet and tired as it lets me know I am living as I want to with much zest and energy.

One of my daughters once quipped in her early running days that running every day is like brushing your teeth. It makes you feel better and it is a habit you will always have.

My hope is that many of the runners I no longer see have just moved their running to another plane. You do not have to run races or get injured to be a runner. Just like the old days, you only need to lace up your shoes and get out the door. I hope all the runners I no longer see are out there enjoying their running more than ever. If you are not, then go do it!!

This Running Life If These Knees Could Talk Growing up, I always noticed the knees.

I remember my granny's knees, round and dimpled with kneecaps buried deep in soft flesh, and when they peeked out from under her sensible day dresses and house coats, I studied the pallid skin, blue veins running just below the surface like rivers running on the maps I studied in school. She always wore stockings and kept the tops rolled down below those knees.

My father, now 96 with crumbling joints, once bounced me on his knees and drove me into breathless fits of giggles and shrieks when, during mid bounce, he would spread his legs, letting me drop into the void, where he caught me just before my bottom hit the ground.

Skinny-legged adolescent boyfriends showed off hairy knobby knees when they wore shorts in the summertime. My girlfriends ignored the sharp-edged knees perched in the middle of their own coltish legs.

My knees, inherited from my grandmother, have never been sharp or prominent.

There's no definition to them. The kneecaps are flat. The skin just behind my left knee is slightly wrinkled. It has been that way for most of my life, and no matter how many miles I run or bike. No matter how many squats, lunges, leg presses or spin classes I have under my belt, those wrinkles still hang around. Sometimes during summer when I bend my left leg tight, smoothing out the skin above my knee, you can see actual tan lines.

paved trail and I lost my balance. It was a soft landing in the mud and leaves next to the pavement.

Other landings have not been so soft, and today, many new scars on my adult knees have joined the one from childhood. Some of them are long and skinny. Others are oddshaped white patches, like little islands, where a rough sidewalk or paved strip of road sanded away the skin after I tripped over a crack, a pinecone or my own feet.

There's a purplish pink stripe from a recent fall that resulted in a landing so hard I don't know how I walked that last mile to get to my car.

Two years ago, I developed an aching in my right knee. It seemed to come out of nowhere. A trainer at my gym suspected the pain had come from a 100-mile bike ride, though I believe worn out running shoes were the real culprit. Some nights the pain was so loud I couldn't sleep. I bought family-sized bottles of ibuprofen, slept with a pillow under my leg, went through a never ending supply of ice cubes, and retrieved a long abandoned, dusty heating pad from the back of a closet and bought a long extension cord so I could plug it in from most anywhere I happened to be when the pain struck.

I alternated the heat and ice obsessively, even taking my ice pack and my heating pad to work, applying them, in turns out of sight under my desk, and stifling groans whenever I had to get up.

Then one day, as mysteriously as the pain had started, it stopped and has never returned.

Decades have passed since that first scar formed on my five-year-old knee. It is a scar that has seen a lot of living. I've graduated from college and survived several careers.

My mom has been gone seven years, leaving my father, widowed in his 90s with his own knee and hip problems - the kind that come with advanced age. I've loved and lost pets.

Friends and lovers have passed through along the way. I have run five marathons and many other races of shorter distances. I have ridden two centuries on my bike, cycled across Iowa and participated in a 200-mile relay.

Through it all, the scar remains, faded but steadfast. I don't try to hide anymore. It just blends in with the other scars you can see, and those that aren't visible to the naked eye.

I once interviewed a little girl who was born with just one leg. She has become a champion swimmer and made the United States swim team for the 2016 Paralympics in Rio. Her name is Hannah Aspden and she was 10 and wise beyond her years when I interviewed her five years ago. Sensitive to anyone who might feel sorry for her, she had one thing to say: “Everyone has something about them that's different. Mine's just more obvious.”

Even if I haven't managed to love my beat-up knees, I have learned to appreciate them. Every scar is a souvenir from an adventure, and there is plenty of room on both of them for more.

My right knee is different. The skin is smoother. When I sit down and stretch my right leg straight out, deep dimples form on each side of my kneecap. And there are no wrinkles.

When I was five years old, I climbed a mountain. Actually it was no more than a big old slippery red clay dirt pile. I was a tiny sliver of a thing back then. In my grimy summer uniform of tee shirt and shorts, I lived for my childish adventures. On this humid afternoon, my little bare feet were no match for the slick terrain. I had barely reached the summit when my feet slipped and I fell down, landing hard on a rock, its sharp edges rising out of the clay like the tip of an iceberg, barely breaching the surface, so small but strong enough to take down the Titanic.

Of course I ended up in an emergency room, blood and clay mixing together, soaking through the towel my frantic mother held against my knee as we waiting for a doctor. The cut looked bad, but the doctor promised it would heal up just fine even with no stitches.

My mother was concerned. “Will it leave a scar?” she asked.

The doctor assured us it would gradually fade and be gone by the time I grew into an adult.

Meanwhile, that scar, pink, puckered and angry, remained. As I grew and became more self-aware, I was deeply ashamed of its ugliness and promised never to scar my knees again.

Growing up, I automatically sat, crossing my right leg over my left, or strategically placing my left hand over my knee to hide the hideous scar.

I had reached my 40s by the time I started running. Over the years, I monitored my scar and regularly examined it, still wondering if it would fade with time and holding it out as a beacon of all the other hurts I had ever felt.

Along the way, I learned a truth: If you run or cycle enough, you are going to fall.

The first time I fell on a run, I was with my Galloway program pace team. We had about two miles to go on a local greenway before Teri Saylor lives and runs in Raleigh, N.C. the end of a 10-mile training run, and some- Reach her at how, my foot slipped off the edge of the terisaylor@hotmail.com

Running Through the Age Groups Great Downhill Challenge in the NC Mountains In July, we were able to take a brief respite from our madness here in Wilmington to spend about a week at our mountain retreat in Linville. It always provides a nice break from the heat and, this time, what a wonderful way to “rest up” before the craziness with which we are dealing.

As I write this article, we are in the process of selling our house and my motherin-law's house, all while we are buying a new house, and moving; good grief!

Several months ago, I had registered for The Scream, an “as advertised” downhill half-marathon which was to take place in beautiful Pisgah National Forest in Western North Carolina. I had been concerned about whether I could even run the race since suffering a number of aggravating injuries throughout the winter and spring.

Dealing with the injuries and my hectic schedule really dealt a blow to my training; therefore, I went in with no real performance expectations and determined to simply enjoy the race. I was so excited at the prospect of a downhill half marathon, as I absolutely love running downhill!

The logistics for the race were complicated; that it took place in a national park necessitated strict adherence to schedules and parking restrictions. The first challenge, therefore, was simply getting to the starting line. With an 8 a.m. start, I still had to leave

the house about 5 a.m. in order to get to the start shuttle in time.

Runners were instructed to park at the “staging point” at Brown Mountain Beach Resort; since the race neither started nor finished there, runners were shuttled to the start in Jonas Ridge, and from the finish in Mortimer back to the “staging point.” I really enjoyed the shuttle rides. On the way to the start, I sat with an amazing 68-yearold woman who was planning to run another race (an 8K) the same evening! On the way from the finish, I sat with another delightful lady and we chitter-chattered like a couple of magpies the whole way back to Brown Mountain Beach Resort.

The race was a point-to-point affair with a course consisting almost entirely of a beautiful, shaded gravel road through Pisgah National Forest. The course was downhill, yes, but that does not translate into “easy”

ies as well as plenty to drink.

The facility at Brown Mountain Beach Resort is situated on gorgeous Wilson's Creek, squarely in the middle of Pisgah National Forest. While I couldn't work up the nerve (or energy, for that matter!) to do so, several runners took the plunge into the cool, refreshing waters and some even swam all the way across the creek. From there, they - as only runners would do - just had to have a little competition on a rope swing.

Watching their “graceful” entries into the water was more than entertaining!

After being presented with my age-group award, a delightful slate-tile rendition of Edvard Munch's painting, “The Scream,” I headed back to Linville for some hardearned and much-needed down time.

Aaahhhhh! My favorite part of racing is the post-race celebration! This race was loads of fun, and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in running something different and truly designed with runners in mind. While the gorgeous setting and nonpaved roads provide a “feel” similar to trail running, the course is at the same time enough of a road as to provide familiarity to hard-core road racers contemplating a foray into trail running. It is truly a wonderful balance!

If you are interested, don't wait too long to register; this race closes out quickly and, as I stated, it has a 300-runner limit. Check it out at http://gloryhoundevents.com/event/thescream-half-marathon/ Until next time, knowing that cooler temps are right around the corner, Happy Running!

or, necessarily, “fast”! While we lost over 2,000 feet in altitude from start the finish, the descents were extremely gradual and there were several hairpin curves that needed to be navigated carefully in order to ensure good footing on the loose gravel.

There were a few uphill portions, and the last mile, being almost entirely uphill, threw me for a loop, especially after the beating my quads had taken over the first 12 miles!

Running the course seemed like a trip back in time; even though there was no formal traffic control in the park, I don't recall seeing one car! The filtered shade kept temperatures manageable, and while it was warm by “mountain standards,” conditions were refreshingly cool. The race was limited to 300 runners, which kept things manageable and thoroughly enjoyable. Aid stations were spaced nicely at two-mile intervals and there was plenty of water, Gatorade, Gu gels and even cookies for all.

Upon arriving at the finish festival, I discovered that my 1:46.00 time was good for third place in my age group, which made me extremely happy considering my utter lack of training in the past few months. I was also happy that I didn't have to walk any on the uphill portions; this gave me a muchneeded boost in confidence. The race provided lots of goodies at the finish, including Mary Margaret, who lives at Wilmington, a full meal, complete with various pasta NC, can be reached at dishes, barbeque, and assorted other good- mmmceachern@bellsouth.net

Running Psychology Gritty Runners You know them. You may be one of them. Mentally tough runners that never give up, persevere through tough times and difficult situations, make the most out of their physical talent and absolutely love the sport of running. Throw about anything at these runners and they just keep going, keep fighting back. They believe in themselves and don't get down when things don't go their way. You might say that these runner are just plain gritty.

Psychologist Angela Duckworth of the University of Pennsylvania has done research for years trying to determine just what makes people successful, whether they are in business, the military, government or athletics. Not surprisingly, through her research she found that pure grit seems to be a common denominator for success, whether in the board room or in a marathon. In her book, “Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance” (Simon and Schuster), Dr. Duckworth lays out just what grit is and why it's so important. It's not enough to be blessed with physical gifts; you have got to be gritty.

By Richard Ferguson, Ph.D.

So exactly what does being gritty mean?

There are specific characteristics gritty people share, no matter their vocation or avocation. In her book, Dr. Duckworth presents four key characteristics of grit, all of which are important for runners. First, gritty people spend endless hours of practicing what they do. For runners that means running, training, running, training... Gritty runners put time and effort into their training. They're dedicated and disciplined. Even with extreme genetic talent, without dedicated training the talent will not be nurtured and developed to

its full potential. Gritty runners, even those fortunate to blessed with extreme talent, are not afraid to look at their weaknesses and then work to improve them.

Not being great on hills is not an excuse to avoid hilly races. Not being great on hills means digging in and doing hill training to get better at hill running! Grit is commitment for the day, but also for months and years.

Duckworth also found, not surprisingly, that gritty people possess a true sense of purpose in what they are doing. Passion may be an overused buzzword today, but gritty people have true passion for what they do. I see so many runners that truly love what they do and are so passionate about running. It's interesting that this passion for running can actually develop over time. Some runners begin to run to lose weight, be with friends or just get some casual exercise, but over time their love of running grows and it becomes a true passion in their lives. The casual observer may wonder how and why some runners are out running every day, in all kinds of weather and all times of day. The answer is pretty simple; these runners love what they do and derive great personal meaning from running. They love the physical act of running and the mental benefits it brings as well.

Most would agree that running is an activity that requires a high degree of intrinsic motivation and indeed gritty run-

ners are highly intrinsically motivated.

The love gritty runners have for running comes from the pure act of running. Yes, they enjoy running for running sake and would run even if there were no medals, plastic trophies or names listed in results.

Gritty runners don't rely on extrinsic rewards. Now don't get me wrong, even the grittiest runners have days when they just aren't motivated or certain workouts that mean more pain than love. But gritty runners understand these days and feelings are normal and they continue to be excited about the good days ahead in running. Sometimes getting through the tough days is what separates champions from average.

Another very poignant finding by Dr. Duckworth is gritty people have big dreams and they constantly pursue these dreams and never give up on them. Dr. Duckworth refers to keeping an eye on dreams as hope. It is this hope that really leads to long term perseverance in any activity. When runners have dreams they set goals and strive to make their dreams reality. The vison may be finishing a marathon, running an ultra, setting a new personal best in a 10K or even making an Olympic team. When there is a genuine belief that dreams are reachable, there is focus, motivation to train, enjoyment in

He Said, She Said What Makes a Marathon Memorable?

Brilliant bling, desirable destinations, flat and fast courses, convenient locations, impeccable reputations – there are countless considerations to contemplate when choosing whether or not a marathon is an appropriate fit for your race calendar. Once chosen, there are even more aspects that can help leave a lasting impression in your collection of marathon memories for years to follow.

This month, I spoke with a novice marathoner, and a multiple Guinness World Record-holding marathon legend to ask, “From your first, to your 1800th, what makes a marathon memorable?”

He (Larry Macon) Said…

“I would ask three things of race directors, (1) clear unambiguous direction signs, (2) more water and fuel stops, and (3) reasonable finish times. Worrying about being pulled from the course is no fun,” shared legend marathon runner, Larry Macon.

Macon had no need to worry about being pulled from the TICK TOCK ULTRA marathon course that he ran in NC’s Forest Creek Golf Club in August. He completed the marathon in less than 8 hours after taking a lengthy break in the shade of some long leaf pines, while waiting for a friend and fellow runner to catch up so they could cross the finish line together.

“The most rewarding aspect [of running marathons] is certainly the wonderful people you meet running. Marathoners are a unique optimistic group of people who are generally willing to stop and help a struggling runner, even though it costs them a PR,” 71-year old, Macon said.

He has had ample opportunity to meet many marathoners from across the country and around the world in the 20 years he has been running. He has also racked up some really remarkable records in a relatively

short period of time.

Countless runners aspire to achieve a marathon distance in every state. Not only has Macon completed a marathon in every state, he has completed a marathon in every state 21 times! He is also a five-time Guinness World Record holder for Most Marathons in a year.

“A friend mentioned that an Italian woman held the world record with 100 marathons. I thought, ‘maybe I could do that,’” Macon shared.

In 2008, he earned the Guinness World Record by running 105 marathons. In 2013, Macon ran an almost incomprehensible 255 marathons. While Guinness only accepted 239 because of technical rules and required documentation, 239 was still enough to earn Macon the record for a fifth time.

“The most challenging part of running multiple marathons is the logistics. When you are running 10 or more marathons on consecutive days (as I will do at least 4 times this year) the biggest problems are caused not by the running but rather flight delays and cancellations and delays in race starts,” Macon said.

Macon dependably flies approximately 300,000 miles in a year to get to marathon events that embrace a broad range of weath-

Each year, he runs the highest road race, the sand pit at Bataan, shoe-losing swamps, hand-climbing mountains, on shaky logs, over water hazards, and through shoulder-high water crossings.

Humbly, Macon said, “While I have no athletic ability, I have lots of determination.”

That determination has helped Macon achieve a current total of more than 1,750 marathons – a total he anticipates to grow to more than 1800 by the year’s end. It has also helped him inspire and motivate a multitude of marathoners and marathoners-to-be.

Thankfully, his is an excursion of miles that shows no conclusion in near sight.

“My goal is to keep running marathons as long as l can,” Macon smiled.

She (Karol Napers) Said…

“I had the honor of being alongside many hard core and truly inspiring runners,” Karol Napers, 37, of Brownsburg, Indiana said of her first ever marathon finish at the TICK TOCK ULTRA event in Pinehurst, NC. Macon happened to be one of those runners. Novice marathoner Napers shared her first 18 miles with marathon legend Macon before finishing her miles with her husband, Daniel.

“Outside of Mr. Macon’s jaw-dropping Guinness record-holding achievement he’s just a very humble, funny, friendly and upstanding individual,” Napers said.

She found these traits in other runners, race staff, and residents of the Forest Creek Golf Club neighborhood as well, as she logged mile after mile to accomplish her first marathon distance.

“The residents of Pinehurst were amazing!

Several were out on jogs or walks and cheered us on as we passed. One fabulous homeowner brought his hose out to the street so we could cool off if we wanted, [and] golfers stopped in their carts to cheer on and encourage [us],” Napers said.

Napers’ husband has a history of playing golf, and is currently on a mission to earn a successful marathon finish in every state.

He was excited about merging to the two

interests by checking off NC (his 15th state) in the home of Golf in America, and on a running course framed by two award-winning Tom Fazio designed Golf Courses.

Karol made the trip from Indiana (one of the 15 states represented at the TICK TOCK) to NC with her husband with the intention of completing the event’s half marathon. In a moment of spontaneity, she decided that since she was going to be there, she may as well shoot for the marathon distance. Not only did she set the goal, but she conquered it by successfully crossing the finish line, and taking home the trophy for first in her age group.

“I’m still absorbing the fact that my body would allow me to complete a marathon and not feel like death,” Karol said of her marathon accomplishment.

She credits the race support for helping her reach her goal.

“Never have I literally felt cared for by race volunteers. Because it was a loop course, we passed each aid station numerous times and the volunteers would ensure they met our every last need. They were well stocked with every type of hydration and nutrition and even towels. The volunteers and even the race director drove the loop throughout the day to offer hydration and nutrition to runners,” Napers recollected Prior to the TICK TOCK ULTRA, her longest run had been just 15 miles. Now, post-race, Karol is entertaining the idea of joining her husband on his journey to complete a marathon in each state.

“It was very special to cross the finish line with my husband,” the mother of three, lab assistant, and community volunteer said.

In addition to being special, the marathon was also educational, teaching Karol new lessons and reminding her of others that she was grateful to recall.

“I learned through this that our bodies are capable of SO much more than we allow our minds to even entertain the idea of. We build walls for ourselves because of fear but we are stronger than we think.” Karol said.

“It taught me determination and a strong positive attitude are equally as important as our perceived physical fitness level. One of my favorite Bible verses and one that was running through my mind during the race with the grueling heat, is James 1:2-4.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let the perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything,” Karol said.

With NC complete and with new goals in sight, perhaps Karol will follow in her new running mentor’s footsteps, and aspire toward a Macon-like marathon record. For now, it is one memorable marathon in the books and likely many more to follow.

EAT WELL, RUN WELL

Wishing for the Perfect Body?

Too many runners spend too much time complaining about their bodies: I feel too fat.

I’m too thin.

I want a six-pack ab.

I hate my spare tire.

Obviously, you will perform better if your body is the correct size for your sport – not too fat, not too skinny. If you have excess flab to lose, yes, you will run faster if you are lighter. If you are scrawny, yes, you will be more powerful if you can build some muscle. Agreed.

The target audience for this article is the many runners who already have an excellent body yet spend too much time wishing for the perfect body. The perfect body is illusive and nearly impossible to attain – at least without tireless effort.

However, being satisfied with an excellent body is an attainable goal. An excellent body might be a tiny bit less muscular than desired, or have a tiny bit more body fat than you want, but it is good enough.

Do you see what I see?

Rather than listen to your own self-criticisms, pay attention to what others say about your body – such as You look great! or Do you really think you have fat to lose? Quite possibly, your teammates are telling the truth when they question your desire to lose (sparse) body fat or compliment you on your muscles. Rather than disregarding their comments, file them away on two mental shelves labeled Compliments and Criticisms. Pay attention to what accumulates over time. You might discover you are the only person who notices your body’s “flaws.”

You only see what you see (not what others see) and your eyes have been tainted since childhood. That is, if you were a husky kid, you may still see yourself as being too fat. On the other hand, if you were a scrawny kid, you may still see yourself as being too skinny, even though your body now has mature muscles.

Fat is not a feeling If you are feeling too fat or too thin, please note that fat and thin are not feelings. (You do not feel blue-eyed or freckled, do you?). More likely, you are feeling anxious, imperfect, inadequate, and out-of-control. Feeling too fat (or too thin) can easily distract you from what’s really going on: you don’t feel good enough about yourself - a common issue among athletes, including those new to a team or school. For example, if you are now a freshman on a D-1 university track team (and no longer the star of your high school team), you can easily feel inadequate, anxious, and not good enough. Those feelings are worthy of being addressed with a counselor who can help you rediscover that you and your body are, indeed, fine the way you are.

Making Peace with your body If you are discontent with your current physique, please try to be a bit more compassionate towards your body and appreciate all the good things it does for you. It lets you be a strong runner, a caring teammate, and a trusted friend. Those are meaningful qualities, and far more valuable than your wish for a perfect body.

Rather than take the outside-in approach to resolving your discontentment - if I can change my body on the outside by losing fat (or by building muscle), I will be a better, happier person - take the inside-out approach, and be grateful for your athletic skills, as well as your friends who love you for

Don’t let nutrition By Nancy Clark, M.S., R.D.

who you are, not for what you look like. Recognize that no weight will ever be good enough to do the enormous job of making you happy. Happiness comes from feeling loved, accepted, and appreciated - not from a number on the scale.

I encourage you to be curious about where you got the messages that something is wrong with your body. Did the messages come from the media in our weight-obsessed world? Or from a loving parent who put you on a diet at age 12 and said something like “If only you’d lose a few pounds...”? You likely translated that comment to mean “I’m not good enough the way I am” and your self-esteem took a downward spiral…

Weight issues are rarely about weight. They tend to be about feeling inadequate and imperfect. Hence, parents and coaches, be careful about what you say!

What to do How can you, a discontent runner, feel better about your body? One tactic is to stop comparing yourself to your peers.

To compare is to despair. Rather, pretend you live on a fantasy island where you and your body are excellent the way you are. Take note: As a human, you will never have a perfect body, so the next best option is to enjoy having an excellent body - or, at least, a body that is good enough the way it is.

If you leave your island and start comparing yourself to your peers, take notice: Do you end up being too fat, too slow, too ugly, too dumb? Do you ever let your body (and yourself) be better than others? Doubtful.

To reframe your thinking, stay on your fantasy island and practice referring to yourself as a Gorgeous Goddess or Handsome Hulk. With time, you can change the way you see yourself and come to believe that you and your body are, indeed, good enough the way you are.

Life is more enjoyable when you can love your body, appreciate all that it does for you, and stop hating it for what it is not. Spending too much time wishing for a perfect body comes with a high price. You’ll enjoy better quality of life by being grateful for all you have.

Running Through the Bluegrass Traci Falbo, the Legend Wins Again One of the country's top ultra distance runners is walking through the parking lot of a Panera Bread in Louisville, KY, on a Thursday afternoon. She has a faded tattoo around one ankle, unbleached hair, the type of tan one gets from hours upon hours spent outdoors, and most of her toenails - at least for now.

Traci Falbo is a legend. But she's a legend in the quintessential ultra runner way - meaning no one, other than me, recognizes her at this restaurant. In fact, even I was worried I wouldn't recognize her in person, and I'm a huge fan.

Falbo, 44, will compete on the U.S. team for the 100k World Championships in Spain on Nov. 27 - her third national team, and she's already on another, the 24-hour World Championships in July 2017.

But Falbo, who lives just across the river from me in southern Indiana, wasn't always a runner. In fact, she hasn't even been a runner for very long.

Just 13 years ago, Falbo started running to lose weight. She was 31 years old and the mother of two. Over the course of 15 months, she lost 80 pounds and decided - like so many

By Tracy Green

of us do - that she wanted to run a marathon.

From 2004-2006, she ran a marathon a year.

“Then I stopped, because I didn't like the long runs,” she told me. In fact, she didn't even know ultras existed at the time.

But she began a quest to run a marathon in all 50 states, she ended up running some back-to-back marathon days.

“If I'm going to fly all the way out to Washington, I might as well try to get Oregon while I'm out there,” she said. “And one of my friends said if I could do back-to-back marathons, I could probably do a 50 miler."

As of Labor Day, she's run 101 marathons -

thing,” she said. “You can be too serious about running and take the fun out of it - you don't have to do everything better every time."

Falbo made the U.S. national team for the 24-Hour event in 2013 and 2015, completed the Grand Slam of Ultra Running in 2013 (four prestigious 100 mile races in four months), and held the American record for 100 miles on trail from November 2014 to February 2015. She also has a silver medal from the IAU 24-Hour World Championships in 2015, where she ran 148.9675 miles in Torino, Italy.

And here I am, having tea with her at Panera - and she's brought me a neon Nathan water pack - a loaner, because I'm headed to West Virginia in a couple of weeks with a solo 22-miler planned.

The week I met with her, the official invitations for the 100k national team had just been sent out. Falbo was already a lock for the team as the reigning national champion for the 100k Road event.

She earned the title in April at the MadCity races held in Madison, Wis. Falbo didn't take the lead until 80K but showed her strength as races get longer, winning the women's division by more than 45 minutes - all gained over that last 20K. She was the sixth finisher overall.

She then headed to South Africa in May for the Comrades Marathon (actually 56 miles), and then to the Burning River 100 miler in Ohio in August. Despite a number of falls at

one in every state, plus 21 first-place finishes.

Her first foray into ultra running was in 2011 - and she made her first Team USA in 2013.

“I didn't know I would be good at going longer,” she said, but by trying new distances and terrains, she found her niche. A niche that includes being the American Record holder and World Indoor Track Record holder in the 48-hour event - 242.093 miles.

Yes. Slightly more than 242 miles run on an indoor track. I once ran 144 laps on an indoor track, which I thought was a pretty impressive accomplishment.

Falbo encourages other runners to explore the possibilities, too. It's less intimidating than one might think - her training is not much more than what many marathoners put in 50-60 miles a week and occasionally 70-80 when training for “longer” races. She supplements her training with strength training for her hips, core, glutes and hamstrings three times a week.

Trail running and ultra marathons gave Falbo a chance to add variety to her running, something that she was missing when she decided to stop running marathons.

RUNNING PSYCHOLOGY

Down the Road

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5

Remembering Ed Guettler: A Pioneer of the Running Boom If you ran a race in Rock Hill, SC, any time beginning in the early 1980s up through 2013 when his health began failing, you were probably timed by Ed Guettler. He was a staple of race timing in Rock Hill. Did you run any of the Come-See-Me races, or the Great Pumpkin races or the Eagle Run or the Shamrock Shuffle or the Alyce T. Guettler Hunger Run or . . .well you get the idea. Ed was there doing the timing.

So let me tell you about how Kathy and I knew him. Flashback to 1991 and ask yourself how many guys do you meet when your wife literally falls into his arms, and you are glad she did? Ed was one of those guys.

Kathy and I had recently moved to Rock Hill from Charleston. The Great Pumpkin race that October the 29th was one of the first local races we ran. It was a very muggy 65 degrees and we both suffered in the race.

When Kathy crossed the finish line about 4 minutes after I did, I saw that she was in trouble. Serious trouble. In fact, she started stumbling and I started moving from near the finish line to get her. She had an asthma attack, passed out, slipped and fell - and Ed was there to catch her.

We both helped her through the chute and I can remember Ed was very concerned and helpful. He was in the finish chute because he was doing the timing for the race. Can you imagine how glad I was that he caught Kathy when she fell. Great way to meet someone, right?

After the awards ceremony I introduced myself properly to Ed and told him I would be writing up the race for Running Journal and would like a copy of the results and awards list for the magazine. He kindly obliged and I told him I'd format the results for him, which I did. The beginning of a long relationship.

So we first knew Ed as a race timer. We joined the Rock Hill Striders, a club of which Ed had been a founding member. Ed was always willing to give me a copy of the results of all the local races he timed for the Rock Hill races. When we were running races out of town he would frequently bring a copy of the local race results to our house - sometimes they would be at our front door before we even got home from the race we had run. Note - the Cooper River Bridge Run which I ran 35 years in a row frequently conflicted with the local Come-See-Me race.

Ed had a PHD in math, but never mentioned it. He used his knowledge to create a computerized finish line system - probably one of the first ones to do so. He didn't ignore doing all the right things like some finish line services do - even to this day. He made sure the race had the information required by USATF records - finish place,

name, age, sex, hometown, state and time, and did the random select timing to correct the inevitable errors created by unthoughtful (or just cheap) runners who ran as 'bandits' without registering and would duck out of the finish chute and create timing errors for everyone who finished behind them.

You have to have been there to realize how much this 'bandit' behavior slowed down posting complete results and know that this was pre-computer chip timing. First there was manual hand timing, then pull tabs, then scan-able tabs. Ed worked with them all.

Ed founded and directed (and of course timed) the Alyce T. Guettler Hunger Run 5 Mile race in 1981. The race became a 5k in 2007 until its final year in 2013. The race was named for his deceased wife and raised thousands of dollars to help out with hunger relief. The race was also a 5K in 2000, but not intentionally. When we got up race morning there were several inches of snow on the ground. And the part of the course through Cherry Park was impassible. It was 36 degrees, but despite the conditions 26 runners showed up. Rather than cancel the race, Ed measured out a 5K course around the Winthrop College (now University) campus and held the race.

I never knew Ed as a runner, but found out that he had participated in over 100 races. In fact he was elected to the South Carolina Road Runners Club Hall of Fame in 1992.

He never mentioned that he had run the Cooper River Bridge Run until I told him I was writing a book about it. When I was typing up the winner's lists for every race I came across his name in the 1989 race 5054 age division. He won one of the top 5% in the age group awards by placing 6th in the division. Think it was easy? Think again.

Ed ran 39:10 in that tough 10K - before computer re-arranged chip time and wave starts. Breaking the 40 minute barrier for 10K is something many runners never accomplish - much less at the age of 52.

Only 393 of the 5,885 runners who crossed the finish line that year did it in less than 40 minutes.

Ed was on the faculty at Winthrop for 26

9

years until he retired in 1994, and he served as the coach for both the men's and women's Cross Country team from 1986 until 1992.

At Ed's memorial service I got to meet and talk to a number of runners he had coached and they all held him in high esteem. One of Kathy's friends told her she had Ed as a Math professor and he was one of the best teachers she ever had. She said he was patient, didn't put women down nor condescend to them like a lot of the professors did back then.

So Ed will be remembered as a father, a great teacher, a great coach and contributor to the running community. He will be missed. R.I.P Edward Paul Guettler, who left us much too early at age 79 on July 26, 2016.

training and sense of purpose. Runners with hope have passion for what they are doing and persevere over the long haul, even when things aren't going exactly as planned. Being gritty is all about maintaining hope and constantly striving to achieve dreams!

You may have all of the traits Dr. Duckworth identified, you may have varying degrees of them, some of them, or even none of the traits of grittiness. But the good news is grittiness is not something you are necessarily born with and being gritty is most certainly not an either you've got or you don't set of characteristics. Grit is something that is developed over time and through experience.

Running setbacks are really learning experiences that help develop the traits of grittiness. When you keep sight of your dreams and continually persevere, grittiness grows within you. Having grit can become something that defines you. So go out and train hard, have a plan and a purpose in your training, love the shear act of running and never ever lose sight of your dreams. Yea, true grit!

RUNNING THROUGH THE BLUEGRASS

Inspired Daily

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8

Coach Rae Ann's Wicked Awesome Summer Running Camp In 2009 I started a summer running camp for local high school runners, mainly from my own team, who could not afford to go away to running camp. I also opened it up to adults since I had a few running friends who were interested.

The first year was known as RunnerGirl camp, just for girls, but interest grew so it became co-ed the next year. The name RunnerGirl Summer Camp would no longer work for a co-ed camp, hence the new name of Coach Rae Ann's Wicked Awesome Summer Running Camp. I wanted something fun that no one would take too seriously and my husband created a very cool graphic for the camp shirts.

The camp demographics remained pretty much 95% teenagers and 5% adults for several years until 2016. This year more adults than teenagers signed up. At first it concerned me that not that many teenagers were signing up. But, with the Bradenton Runners Club awarding so many more summer running camp scholarships this year, more local runners were now financially able to go away to camp, which is an invaluable experience! Excluding the high school runners who signed up, the ages of the campers ranged from 24 to 69.

Combining a variety of ability levels can be challenging when executing cross country type workouts at a large park with lots of tree covered trails; it is definitely easier at a track, but there's no relief from the sun at a track in Southwest Florida in late July. The camaraderie and cooperation between the teenagers and adults was inspiring as they

cheered for each other during and made sure no one got lost when learning new routes to run. They encouraged each other during the strength training workouts, with some of the teenagers really being impressed with the fitness levels of the older adults.

From the coaching perspective, I had to be more creative when designing the workouts so that both the teenagers and adults would be able to complete the workouts and leave camp each day feeling successful. I made the workouts challenging for all levels yet not so difficult that anyone felt like a failure at any of the strength exercises or running workouts.

The adults were challenged to work on form. I don't know any adults who actually do drills to improve form and efficiency.

The teens, who perform these types of drills regularly, were able to demonstrate them to the adults and learned that it is important at every age to work on form. The teens were impressed by the adults who were able to lift as much weight or hold a plank as long as they could. The adults started doing strength exercises that pushed them out of their com-

fort zones. Both groups learned from each other and left the week of camp with a ne, found respect for each other's athletic ability.

This summer's camp taught me not to worry about the demographics of the group but to focus more on the fact that adults need camp, too, and teens need to interact with adult runners so they see that it is a lifelong sport. There's nothing more rewarding for a coach than seeing former runners running 5Ks, 10Ks, half marathons, and marathons into adulthood. There aren't many adult running camp opportunities in our area so I definitely plan to keep this awesome camp for adults and teens going as long as I am able.

Traci Falbo breaking the tape at the USATF 100k Championships in April.

Burning River, she still finished first female and third overall, punching her ticket to Western States for a fourth consecutive year (although she hopes to not be drawn for 2017, because the race is right around the same time as the 100k championships).

Falbo is proud to have made four national teams, and loves representing her country in international competition. But - and this may come as a surprise - it is also expensive. The USATF only partially funds the ultra running teams, and the International Association of Ultrarunners contributes some funding as well.

Normally, lodging and food at the race location are included for a few days - but not airfare. Being on a U.S. National team is, in many ways, like going to an international race on your own.

Of course, you do get to wear that big USA across your chest. “ We get the same kits as the Olympians,” Falbo said, although they'll still be wearing the 2012 kits for November's race.

In the past, Falbo has held silent auctions to help cover her World Championship expenses, but decided this year it is just too much trouble. With a senior in high school, she's juggling a demanding race schedule with college visits and scholarship applications.

Instead, she's relying on visits to her AthleteBiz.us page, through which customers can shop at Running Warehouse and Falbo receives credit for the purchase.

She can also be supported by shopping other sponsors linked on her site, TraciFalbo.com.

RUNNERS REJOICE! SARASOTA COUNTY IS AN EXCELLENT FLORIDA GULF COAST DESTINATION AND A RUNNER FRIENDLY COMMUNITY Whether on vacation, training for a race or competing, Sarasota is the perfect place to run. Thirty-eight miles of beaches, vast vistas of turquoise water and ideal temperatures much of the year make Sarasota County a popular location for races. This Florida Gulf Coast destination is popular for its white beaches and distinguished arts, but has also been recognized as a Runner Friendly Community by Road Runners Club of America. With several popular race locations near hotels and vacation rentals, races can double as an opportunity to explore the area.

A FEW RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR RACES FROM 5K’S TO MARATHONS ARE AS FOLLOWS: Nathan Benderson Park is a recreational venue featuring a large lake-turned-World Class Rowing facility. While the facility is often used for rowing regattas, the paved route circling the lake is often used for road races, as it's an excellent 5k route.

Siesta Key, voted one of the most beautiful beaches in America, offers seven miles of roundtrip seaside paradise and, at low tide, provides a supportive and stable

surface for runners and walkers.

Downtown Sarasota is a central spot for many runners and walkers, the city of Sarasota has many running options, the best of which is a trip over the Ringling Bridge. Featuring one of the only inclines in the region, the Ringling Bridge offers an iconic view of the Sarasota Bayfront with options to extend runs and walks through St. Armands Circle and onto Lido Key. The Venice Train Depot, located near downtown Venice, serves as the trailhead for the Legacy Trail – a 10.8-mile paved road for walkers, runners and bikers.

This trail runs through Oscar Scherer State Park and offers plenty for all levels of fitness. For nature enthusiasts, a run or walk along Oscar Scherer's 15 miles of trails is possible.

Spanning approximately five miles end to end, Casey Key offers low-traffic, winding roads with sweeping views of the Gulf.

Other ideas for race locations are Myakka River State Park, one of Florida's largest state parks, offers 39 miles of trails; North Port, named one of America's Most Playful Cities, offers numerous parks and recreation areas great for running; Manasota Key, an idyllic

and laid-back area of Sarasota County, offers unspoiled views of the Gulf and nature alike; and the Celery Fields is nature preserve of more than 300 acres and 20,000 aquatic plants and trees ideal for runners and bird enthusiasts.

SARASOTA MUSIC HALF-MARATHON Sarasota is home to world class events including the Sarasota Music Half-Marathon in February, a moving party with a scenic course around Sarasota Bay. Entertainment abounds as the 13.1 Mile Moving Party will pass 20 live bands along the route a total of 42 times.

The route also includes Girl Scout Cookie® Mile and Local Craft Beer Mile. The Start/Finish line is located at Van Wezel, and there will be an after-party on the bayside terrace, featuring live music and gourmet buffet catered by Mattison’s.

Distance Memories Fools in the Rain, It's What Runners Do …

The boys in the lobby of the movie theater looked outside and saw the man in his 20's running in the rain; a rain so cold that it eventually turned into hail. The boys laughed amongst themselves and reminded one another to slap each other silly if they ever did anything as stupid as wear shorts and run in the cold, cold rain.

If the boys had only known the man had just learned he was going to be a father for the first time they may not have been so judgmental. After all, the young man was a runner and that's what runners do when they can't find words to express their joy.

They run.

The elderly couple sitting on their front porch so they could enjoy the afternoon thunderstorm was caught by surprise when they saw a man in his 30's sprinting past their front yard. They wondered if he was trying to outrun the thunder and lightning and why he didn't have the sense to simply stop and seek shelter. Had they asked, the man would have told them he received a promotion at work earlier in the day and the run was one of celebration and that he

By Scott Ludwig

hadn't really noticed he was in the midst of a rain storm. After all, the man was a runner and that's what runners do when they have something to celebrate. They run.

The kids on the school bus looked outside the window and pressed their faces to the cold glass to see the two men - both in their 40's - running on the side of the road in the middle of a driving snowstorm that was leaving hidden patches of ice in its wake. “Look at the dummies running in the ice and snow!” was a sentiment everyone -including the bus driver- shared as

they made fun of the two men. If the occupants of the school bus had only known that one of the runners had cancer, would be gone before the spring thaw and this was the last time the two of them would run together they may have felt differently.

After all, the men were runners and that's what runners do when they need to cope.

They run.

The newlyweds looked out their front window and saw him. A man - probably in his 50's - running down the street in a torrential downpour. The newlyweds looked at one another, their facial expressions showing they shared the same thought: “Only a fool would be out running on a day like this.” The newlyweds never did take the time to acquaint themselves with the man in his 50's. If they had, they would have learned that he lost his father earlier that day and the best way of coping with his loss was to go for a run. After all, the man was a runner and that's what runners do when they need to grieve. They run.

No one saw the man in his 60's as he ran up and down the streets of town at 5 a.m.

on a Saturday morning in November in weather that wasn't fit for man or beast.

Cold, windy, monsoon-like rain with frequent burst of thunder and lightning didn't deter the man from his morning run. After all, the man was a runner and he was simply enjoying something he'd enjoyed doing for almost 40 years. That's what runners do; they run.

It's a shame no one saw the man that morning. For if they had, they would have been able to say they had seen a man who took pride in being the fool in the rain.

Learning from the Young Guns Final 5 Marathon Workouts With summer mercifully in the rearview mirror, it’s time to turn the months of fighting through the heat and humidity into fast fall racing. There is no greater feeling than those first weeks when the weather breaks and the air is cool and crisp. The blood plasma boosting heat of the summer makes those first few weeks of fall feel like you could run forever, and now it’s time to take advantage of that in training and racing. One of the challenges in preparing for fall marathons is dealing with the summer heat early in training that can make long runs and workouts difficult to execute. Even if you’ve struggled with those longer workouts over the summer there is still time to cap off your fall marathon training with some fitness boosting workouts over the final few weeks of your prep.

The focus of workouts in preparation for marathons, and frankly any distance running event, should be on improving your anaerobic threshold. The vast majority of a marathon is run at a pace slower than anaerobic threshold and improving it will, in turn, quicken your marathon pace. For those that train with heart rate monitors, your anaerobic threshold is between 85-90% of maximum heart rate. The easiest way to view these workouts in terms of effort is that they should be hard but never so hard you couldn’t do more or run faster. That ensures you’re getting the most out of your training and are able to recover for the long run on the weekend. The following are 5 of my favorite marathon workouts. They can be used throughout marathon training, but here they are laid out for the final 5 weeks leading into race day, including what you should do the week of the race.

Week 1: Progression Run Progression runs are one of my absolute favorite workouts for marathon runners. The progression run stimulates the anaerobic threshold, but it also teaches patience, the most valuable racing skill for the marathon. Most athletes tend to start workouts too fast, which stunts improvement in performance as well as reinforces a habit that will be hard to break on race day. The progression run tempers this problem because the intention is to start out slowly and gradually progress through the workout. Learning the discipline of being patient and methodical during training sessions translates to races, and developing those skills is the hidden benefit of the progression run.

A progression run should start 10-15 seconds per mile slower than marathon pace and move evenly forward a few seconds per mile each mile so you are finishing the final mile 5-10 seconds per mile slower than 10K pace.

Depending on your experience level and total weekly mileage this run could be anywhere from 3-8 miles.

Week 2: Tempo Miles The purpose of this workout is nearly identical to a traditional tempo run, but this is a great twist that breaks up the workout to make it more manageable, and allows you to run a touch quicker at the same effort. The workout is simple: 3-6 x 1 mile repeats with 90 seconds to 2 minutes easy jog or walk between each repeat.

Start at half marathon pace and work down to 10K race pace for the last 1-2 repeats. Aim to run a little quicker each repeat, and if you do this session multiple times as your fitness improves, decrease the rest before increasing the speed.

Week 3: Descending Tempo Fartlek. Aim to make the last big 20 + mile long run 3 weeks out from the race and include 8-12 miles of running near marathon pace within it.

The timing of the week 3 workout means it will take place a few days after that long run, and so this week is often best

spent running easily to ensure proper recovery. However, for more experience runners this is a perfect time for a light fartlek run. Fartlek runs are another great example of a workout that can be utilized throughout a marathon buildup. The fartlek is a continuous run alternating between pieces of quicker running and easier running.

This workout is traditionally based on time rather than distance and therefore is conducive to listening to your body and not worrying about a specific pace, ideal a few days after a big long run. For this fartlek run, 2 sets of the following: 4 minutes at half marathon effort, 90 seconds easy jog, 3 minutes a little quicker than the 4 minute piece, 90 seconds easy jog, 2 minutes a little quicker than the 3 minute piece, 90 seconds easy jog, and 1 minute a little bit faster again with an easy 3 minute jog between the sets. The easy recovery jogs should be at your normal easy day pace and the 1 minute piece at the end should be in the 5K - 10K effort range.

Week 4: 4-Minute Repeats This workout is similar to the mile repeat session, but now just a week and a half out from the race the intervals are a bit shorter and just a hair faster. This will be the final workout that will improve your fitness for race day, but it’s important to finish this with a little gas in the tank. The workout is 6-10 repeats of 4 minutes each with 90 seconds easy jog between each repeat.

The 4-minute repeats should start 5-10 seconds per mile slower than 10K pace and finish at or 5-10 seconds per mile faster than 10k pace.

Week 5: Race Pace For the week of the race it’s important to stick with your normal routine, including doing something a little bit faster, albeit faster this week is nothing more than marathon pace. The idea with this workout is to engrain race pace in your legs and do something faster so you don’t feel stale on race day. The workout is 3 x 1 mile at marathon pace with a 3 minute easy jog between each repeat.

Use these workouts to add fitness heading into fall races and to build confidence as you see the paces pick up in the cooler fall weather!

SHOE REVIEW

C

hange 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 well-cushioned. 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.

elcome 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!

Masters Running The Rio Olympics - Some Thoughts and Lessons Learned It was two weeks of sheer thrill and entertainment. Especially the second week, when I had prime seating for some of the most spectacular Track & Field events that I have ever seen!

I am talking about the Olympics of course. And no, I was not in Rio. I was sitting in my own living room, glued to my TV set. I missed some of the finals that took place in the daytime, because of appointments and other things on my calendar. But I was watching every final on the track during evening hours, often sitting on the edge of my seat.

It seemed like each race gave me something to marvel over and reflect on. And several also came with a lesson to be learned. That I need to set goals, believe in myself, and never give up. That having a plan is a good thing, but I should be prepared to make changes along the way and have a 'Plan B' in my back pocket. That things don't always pan out the way I want or expect, but I can usually charge on anyway and count my blessings.

It may not be very accurate to draw a direct comparison between Olympic athletes and a Senior Grandmaster runner like me, plodding along in local 5Ks. But I too have goals I want to reach, in racing and otherwise, and I want to know the best way to accomplish them. Although in my case it is not about winning gold medals, or even about getting better. I just want to stay at the level I am for as long as I can!

But if you are Matthew Centrowitz and just missed the podium in the 1500m at the London Olympics, what does it take to hang in there for four more years for another chance? A lot of belief, hope, and persistence. And maybe also a little bit of luck! So many seemingly random things can kill an Olympic dream, both before and during the event. It could be an untimely injury or illness, or even another runner tripping you so that you take a tumble. However Centrowitz not only stayed on his feet, but kept the entire pack behind him in one of the most exciting finishes I recall seeing in any Olympics! So he got sweet redemption from narrowly missing the bronze medal four years ago.

But even when you get knocked down, it doesn't mean you need to give up. Mo Farah of the UK tripped and fell in the 10,000 meters, but got up again and won the race!

And so did Finland's Lasse Wiren in the 1972 Munich Olympics. Of course in a shorter event it's harder to catch up after a fall. Although by running a strategic race and staying out of the fray, you may have some control over your risk of falling. I have seen favorites stay in the back of the pack

By Lena Hollmann

for most of an 800m or 1500m track race, and then scoring a victory from behind.

Dave Wottle's 800m win at the 1972 Olympics is a classic example of this.

In the marathon, you are better off with a different strategy. No need to stay in the very back if you are a contender for the win.

Yes, it can still be crowded in the beginning of the race, but the field usually strings out after a few miles. Galen Rupp ran a very smart race in Rio, staying with the favorite and eventual winner Eliud Kipchoge for as long as he could. As expected, Kipchoge eventually pulled away, somewhere around the 22 mile mark. But Rupp held on to win the bronze medal. Not bad for a relative novice, running only his second marathon!

But for others, it wasn't their day. You could do the most rigorous preparations and leave as little as possible to chance, but things could still go wrong. Especially when in an unfamiliar environment, you could “catch something” that plays havoc with your race plan. Meb Keflezighi ran into some trouble around the 10-mile mark in the marathon, and had to stop several times during the rest of the race. Maybe it was a stomach bug that bothered him, or maybe something else. Neverthless, he pulled through and finished! And even though his time and place must not have been what he hoped for or expected, we have to give Meb kudos for making it to the Olympics in the first place. He is 41 years old after all, and a Masters runner!

Then we have Allyson Felix. In her fourth Olympics, she had hoped to take a double, winning both the 200m and 400m. But that dream was shattered when she narrowly missed making the team in the 200m, probably due to an ankle injury that prevented her from doing much speedwork early in the season. And I'm sure you remember what happened in the 400m! She would have won, if it wasn't for Shaunae Miller of the Bahamas taking a nose dive right before the finish line. But Felix still walked away from the games as a winner. She was on the gold medal team in both relays, and got the silver

in the 400m, which along with her medals from previous Olympics made her the most decorated female track athlete of all times.

So, sometimes we may not get everything that we wanted, but still come out ahead.

Other times we get more than we bargained for! Matthew Centrowitz said after the 1500m that he had hoped to end up on the podium, but he never expected to win. I don't know what outcome Miller had anticipated in the 400m, but certainly not to win the gold by diving across the finish line!

And sometimes there's disappointment.

I'm sure Meb had hoped to do better in the marathon, for example. Then there were a few sprinters and hurdlers who got disqualified when they did false starts, and you could see the despair in their faces.

One could argue that the false starters should have been more careful, but they certainly didn't intentionally take off before the gun. And Meb didn't get sick or injured on purpose either. Alyson Felix ran her very best, but still fell a little bit short of her goal.

There are so many factors playing into race performance on a specific day, and there are several competitors with similar goals. Not

Grand Prix 39 Standings

every athlete in the Olympics can realistically hope for a gold medal, although usually there's more than one contender with a chance of winning. And it's often “little things” that separate gold from silver, or bronze from fourth place.

When we run our local races, not nearly as much is at stake as in the Olympics of course. But I can see some similarities. We have goals and a plan, and on race day we do our best. We usually know who the major contenders in our age group are, but not always who will show up for a particular race. And especially around holidays, there may be “unknown” runners placing ahead of us, who are from a different part of the country and just visiting.

So, for the most part we control our own performance. But other runners, not so much! And we might sometimes have a bad day, or be injured and not able to run at all.

But unlike the Olympics, we don't have to wait four years for another chance. Nor do we risk losing sponsors or endorsements by not performing up to par. So in many ways we age group runners are better off than Olympians. We can relax and enjoy the ride.

And we can look forward to watching another great Olympic Games in four years!
