Using Olympic Race Tactics Did you notice any of the different race tactics some of the runners used to win medals in the Olympics a few months ago?

My wife Kathy and I did, and we sort of applied them to our old race tactics from the days when we were running 30 or so road races per year.

The first thing that we noticed was that different styles of racing can be used to win races. (1) Do you lead from the front and hold on? (2) Do you hang back in the lead pack or even further back and then use a powerful kick to pass everyone - or almost everyone? (3) Do you run your own best pace and try to trust that it will be fast enough so that everyone will come back to you?

All these methods can work, but of course we don't all win races, and I sure am proof of that as those of you who know me can testify. But Kathy won more than I did and we both won or placed a lot of times in our age divisions, so this article isn't just for elite runners who win all the time (or so it seems).

Let's look at each of the 3 tactics. The first tactic: leading the race, can work. But there are some caveats. You have to be fast enough to be able to lead. And not just for the first quarter mile like so many jokers do to make sure they appear on television coverage when they show the start of a big race. So if you are the fastest runner in a race (or in your age division) you can win by staying ahead of all the people you are actually competing with.

A lot of serious runners know many and in some cases most of the runners who will be a challenge to them. Logic says - hey if I stay ahead of them I will win. And logic is correct. But there is a catch. What if someone has run faster than you (sometimes or always) and they pass you. If you let them go faster than you from that point to the finish you won't win. Matt Centrowitz answered this question in the 2016 Olympic 1500 meter final. Granted Olympic finals are often tactical races, and knowing this, he used that fact. He took the lead, controlled the pace, running fast, but not as fast as some of his faster competitors had run in the past - in other words not so slow they felt they had to pass him. But whenever someone passed him, he would pass them back, take the lead and then slow to a pace he could hold. Then he picked up the pace over the final laps and lead to the finish to win.

Second tactic: Kick by everyone at the finish. That works too. You only have to stay close enough behind the leaders (of the race or your age group) and then kick by them.

But there are some catches here. There is often someone who has a final lap kick that is faster than yours. During the summer leading up to the Olympics Kathy and I watched Matt Centrowitz test different tactical styles in the 1500 meters at the Diamond League

By Cedric Jaggers

track meets in Europe. Matt has a strong kick, but if you recall he lost the Bronze medal in the 2012 Olympics when he came up .04 hundredths of a second short when he kicked from the pack. This is an example of when the kick fell short. But there are a lot of examples when the leader gets outkicked by several runners in the final lap - runners who run a final 400 meters in the low 50 second range. And they do it after running sometimes up to a dozen or more laps. Think Mo Farrah who did it in the 5,000 meter and 10,000 meter races at the Rio Olympics and the London Olympics.

Third tactic: Run your own race pace and trust that it will be fast enough so that everyone who goes out too fast will come back to you. Emma Coburn used this tactic to win the Bronze medal at the Rio Olympics. She had used the run from the front tactic to win the U.S. Olympic Trials. So when she was running in sixth place more than halfway through the Olympic finals race we were sure she was a goner. But she wasn't. She was running a steady controlled race on a hot day, against runners she knew had run faster than her in the past. As the laps went on she held her pace as others faded and took the Bronze.

And you could see how happy she was to have done so.

What does this tell us? You can do well using any of these tactics - but you have to know your strengths and weaknesses and decide which to use. Are you fast and can you hold it? Tactic one. Do you have a really strong kick? And can you stay close enough to your competition to use it to win? Tactic two. Are you a strong, though not superfast runner? Are you disciplined enough to hold back when others go out too fast and then pass them later in the race: Tactic three. So run and race and enjoy, use what you want in races, or if you don't want to race just enjoy running. Running is for our enjoyment, so make the most of it for yourself.

Masters Running When Running Gets Tough, Have a Goal and a Plan Recently I have struggled some with my running. Not so much going out for individual runs, but with having a goal and a plan.

I have the Naples Half Marathon coming up in January, and a few 5K and 10K races before then. This makes a perfect scenario for making the half marathon my goal race, with the shorter races beforehand as tuneups and alternatives to speed workouts.

Or, I could just take one day at a time. Go out on my regular training runs and run the races as they come up, without making them part of a bigger plan. This is how I have been training lately, running just a few local 5Ks during the hot Florida summer. I have enjoyed being able to “relax” and not have a training plan. But as “winter” approaches here in South Florida and races become more numerous, I realized that I needed some kind of plan in order to pick and choose which ones to run. I am also pondering whether to have just one goal race (the Naples Half) with other local races as “fillers,” or whether I should find another half marathon or two to also run as goal races. I have even been toying with the idea of running a half marathon in all 50 states!

But the latter would probably take me a decade or more, even though I already have a few states in the bag.

What it boils down to is that I like to have goals to train for. For some of you it may be “enough” to just go out and run a few times a week for health and enjoyment, and for socializing if you have buddies to run with.

And yes, I am addicted enough to running that I would go out there too, even if I didn't have any races to prepare for. Although without any specific goal or purpose, my runs would probably be shorter and further in between. I need something to motivate me in order to run long and often, but just had to figure out what it would be!

This time, instead of going to friends for advice and inspiration, I decided to go online. Should be plenty of material there on how to create training and racing plans that would keep me motivated, I figured.

But when it came to motivation, most of what I found was advice on how to get off the couch and go running that same day. For example to run a different route, to reward yourself with a coffee or other treat when you are done, to get some new clothes or gear, and of course to find some buddies to run with. The more interesting and unique suggestions were usually hidden in the comments after articles or blog posts. One person said they kept a calendar where they put a big 'X' every day they went running.

And to have a gaping hole with no 'X' on some dates could be motivation enough to get out the door. Another suggestion was to

By Lena Hollmann

tell yourself that you were “just going out for 10 minutes”, in the hopes that once you were running, you would want to go further.

Setting up a long term plan for a goal race or races requires that I am motivated to go out on my daily runs. So reading all those suggestions on how to get out of the house was definitely helpful, even though I'm not sure all of them would work for me.

For example, I would not be able to fool myself to think I'll go out for just 10 minutes, since I know that if I put on my gear to go for a run, I want to be out for longer than that. But different things work for different people, and “the 10 minute trick” may do the job for some of you. The one thing that seems to work for me is to schedule something else in the morning so that I have to get done with my run at a specific time.

And since I usually have a certain distance in mind, that also means I have to get out there early enough to not miss my appointment.

Running with other people will of course also get me out of the house, since I don't want to let them down. Or participating in organized group runs that start at a specific time. My running club, Gulf Coast Runners, run at 6am every Saturday morning. Knowing that I will have people to run with is often incentive enough for me to set my alarm and show up, even though I have to get up hours before I normally do, and it's dark when we start.

Getting out of the house is not the only benefit of going on the group runs, by the way. I also get done early, and am free to do other things for the rest of the day. Plus it makes me go faster, both literally and figuratively! Having people to chat with during the run makes the time go by quicker. And when I hang on to a group that runs slightly faster than I would on my own, I force myself to push a little harder and therefore get done faster in actual time.

However getting my run done each day (or five days a week) is not my primary struggle. If I have a run scheduled I will do it, unless there is lightning or some other major obstacle standing in between me and

my run. And most days I feel great once I'm out the door. Although there are times when I struggle physically or mentally - or both!

But making my runs part of a “project” usually causes me to enjoy them even more.

When I decided to run the Napa Valley Marathon three years ago, it gave me something to train for. I not only enjoyed the race but also the journey to get there. The 18 mile runs could sometimes be a struggle to get through, especially during what turned out to be an unusually cold and snowy winter for North Carolina, where I lived at the time. But at the same time I cherished those long runs, and I had such a sense of accomplishment when they were completed.

I am not ready to tackle another marathon at this time though. And I am not sure either whether I'm ready to commit to a half marathon in every state. But clearly, I need a specific goal in mind in order to get as much as I can out of my running. So after mulling over it for a few weeks, I finally decided that I will leave the door open for a “50 States quest” by planning a visit or two next year to states where I haven't been before, and run half marathons while I am there. As of this writing those plans are still in the works, but it feels good to know that I'm on another journey.

A journey that should keep me motivated to hang in there for another year. And after that, maybe I'll add a few more half marathons for the following year. And so forth. And it dawned on me that what I came up with is simply a variety of the 10 minute plan!

So, something that I read and at first dismissed as being not for me actually turned out to be just what the doctor ordered, although in a different shape or form. And as a 10 minute run can sometimes turn out to be nothing more than that, likewise my one or two half marathons in new states next year may also be the full extent of my latest adventure. But at least I have a plan, and something that will keep me motivated to put in the miles.

The lesson learned here is that when you are in a slump and running isn't as exciting as it used to be, it helps to have a goal and a plan. And to try something different, if not a “50 States” journey maybe an ultra or a triathlon. I hope I have given you some inspiration to find out what will work for you!

He Said, She Said What's the Challenge with Your Changing Role?

When one experiences an exceptionally strong, fast, or fun training run or race, he may say he wouldn't change a thing.

When one runs injury-free for a decade, she may count her lucky stars before wishing on a shooting star, that such a streak would last forever - but it won't.

Nothing ever does. Change is inevitable and resisting it, can only cause suffering.

As Tibetan Buddhist, ordained nun, Pema Chodron teaches, “Impermanence is a principle of harmony. When we don't struggle against it, we are in harmony with reality.”

Not only can harmony and peace be found in accepting change, but so too, can the unfathomed rewards that often accompany realizing that each moment is as it is, whether we thought we wanted it or not.

The joy can often be found in a shift of perspective.

Stephanie Bylander and Matt Levassiur, are currently shifting from a comfortable running status of 'elite competitive runner' to relatively newfound roles as Florida Southern College coaches - and optimistically passing the 'elite baton' in the process. I recently reached out to the married running couple to ask, “As your relationship with running changes, what is your greatest challenge?”

He (Matt Levassiur) said…

“Currently, my biggest challenge is letting go of competing. Although I'm nominally able to still compete, my heart and my schedule have prompted me to limp away from the sport,” Levassiur said.

Of course, he's far from limping. The 2Time Olympic Trials Marathon Qualifier

By Mary Marcia Brown

who placed 21st at the Boston Marathon in 2007 and 15th at the Chicago Marathon in 2012, and who has 13:52 5K, 28:53 10k, 1:04:46 half marathon, and 2:18:58 marathon times to his credit, is still running and volunteer coaching the Florida Southern College track and cross country teams while pursuing an MA in coaching through Adams State.

Even during his elite years, Levassiur said he was always more incentivized by time than by winning. While competing, he consistently averaged 90 miles per week.

“That consistency ensured that running become a sustainable lifestyle for over half my life. Marrying a fellow runner also helped,” he said.

Now training the FSC team alongside his wife, Levassiur maintains a relationship with running that is both personal and professional. Humbly crediting his many running success stories as “the direct result of the mentors and teammates that showed [him] how to become a runner,” Levassiur now has the opportunity to inspire and play that important role

in the lives of the young men and women he coaches.

A former competitive runner who once ran for Brooks, Powerbar, and Adidas while competing, Levassiur now taps into the rewards of his own college days, when he was captain of two championship teams, to set big goals with high hope for the college team he now coaches.

“Florida Southern is a program on the rise. I hope to see this team become the dominant distance running squad in the region and build that success to competing at the national level. Also, I want FSC athletes to truly become lifelong runners.

The sport has so much to offer, even after your competitive days are behind you.”

By gradually letting go of his personal days of elite running competition, Levassiur is undoubtedly clearing a path for those he now mentors, to take the baton and realize the rewards of running during their own days of competition and for years to follow.

She (Stephanie Bylander) said...

“The must challenging aspect of my relationship with running has been the transition from competitive, elite runner to having my own personal running journey take on a different meaning and role.

The first race where I realized that I would likely never run a PR again due to some minor health issues was difficult, but I decided that I had to accept a different path in running and try to share my experiences with others in a positive way, while encouraging them to reach their own goals,” 33-year old Bylander said.

Indeed she is encouraging and motivat-

ing others to set and realize running goals on a daily basis. Bylander is the Assistant Coach for both the cross country and track teams at Florida Southern College.

Assistant to Head Coach, Ben Martucci, Bylander has enjoyed the opportunity to assist the women's team with their training for the past year.

“There are so many fun and exciting things about this team, and I'm very fortunate to work with them,” Bylander said, explaining that the team's primary goal this year, is to improve their finish from last year's Regional meet.

“We're hoping to crack into the top half, which would make it the highest finish since 2009, when the team finished 5th,” she said. “The culture of the team has been evolving quickly along with their fitness, and that's a pretty awesome place to be, going into championship season and the years to come.”

The mere mention of collegiate championship season likely induces welcome feelings of nostalgia for Bylander. It was during her own college years at Adams State, that Bylander was a scoring member of two national championship cross country teams. She said that winning the championship her senior year, was one of the best days of her running career. Her husband was a member of the men's squad that also won the national title that day.

“To sweep the men's and women's team titles is pretty rare, so to have shared that experience with my husband is fairly unique,” Bylander said.

Also unique, is to share in collegiate coaching after having run in college together. Yet Bylander and her husband continue to use their past experience as competitive elite athletes, to help coach to the surface, the elite athlete in each of their team members.

“I personally hope to continue to find balance between my family's personal relationship with running and our relationship with coaching and working with the team. As a coach, I hope to continue to push the ladies to believing they're capable of accomplishing big goals in the coming years and assist Coach Martucci with the continuing excellence of the men's team tradition. For the team, I'd love to be able to say at the end of the season that they accomplished something that no other women's cross country team has achieved since 2009.”

Running Through the Bluegrass Teaching the Youngsters About Running Fun Have you ever noticed the sheer joy kids find in running? And then as we get older it becomes a form of punishment, either from a sports coach for doing something wrong or from ourselves from that ice cream we had last night (that's okay, you don't have to put the spoon down).

I love that ear-to-ear grin kids have when they're running. And I love helping them find it. For several years, I helped chaperone a week-long cross country camp and I've had the opportunity to work with other teams and Girls On The Run groups over the years.

This summer I was invited by a couple of coaches - full disclosure, one is my mother - to come do a half-day mini-camp with their team. It was primarily middle schoolers but a few high school boys as well. It was hot and humid but everyone worked hard and I think they mostly had fun.

Here's some of what we did in case you have the same opportunity. (And a special thanks to my nutrition sponsor, Hammer Nutrition, for sending goodie bags for all the campers!)

9 a.m. - introductions, agenda overview and dynamic warmup. I pulled a lot from the Little Wing routine because it hits all the major muscle groups and isn't overly technical. However, it took us about 20 minutes to get through it and everyone was already hot and sweaty.

9:30 a.m. - easy jog of .6 mile. Many of them had run the night before, and this was a group with pretty limited endurance anyway. I had kids in the front group

walking on this run, so we kept it short.

9:45 a.m. - form drills and discussion of cadence and arm swing. This included some strides, fast feet, butt kicks, high knees, carioca, and backwards running.

10 a.m. - Stretching, strength training and core. We did calf raises, single-leg squats, bridges, planks and side planks.

We also did some ankle and big toe flexion and “toe yoga” as we moved into some other stretches - chest, upper back, quads, calves, hamstrings, IT bands, hip flexors, piriformis, butterfly, and seated torso twist.

Then we transitioned to the covered area - everyone was happy about that - for the gear talk. First we talked about safety gear, and I brought my headlamp and blinky light as examples. I encouraged all the kids to get a Road ID or similar ID and I passed mine around.

I also brought down my collection of self-massage tools - a stick, a Trigger Point Therapy mini-GRID, a regular foam roller and a lacrosse ball. We split up into groups and rotated through using each of them, which was a lot of fun. They were

… inventive. I guess. To say the least.

Next we talked about wicking running clothes and socks. Some kids were in fullout Nike running gear; another kid (the most enthusiastic of the bunch) was in a cotton tank undershirt, camo denim shorts and a belt.

We moved on to shoes, which is something I can talk about for days. Five years working full time in specialty running retail comes in handy.

I explained the different parts of a shoe and talked about lacing, then we got to the fun part: the wet bag test. You can only talk at kids for a short amount of time and this was a great way to talk about biomechanics while getting them up and moving.

Then we talked about nutrition.

Hammer was super awesome and sent me goodie bags for each kid. Hammer has been so good to me as a sponsored athlete - and all their athletes, and even more so their regular customers - and it was great to share their products and philosophy with these kids. Since they practice, and sometimes race, after school, nutrition is really important. And when they race on the weekend, that's a totally different schedule than their body is used to (since they normally run in the evening).

We talked about Endurolyte Fizz and HEED, and the differences - and why they're better than Gatorade. I also had Hammer Gels and Recoverite for them,

and we talked about when to use those, too. They also got water bottles, stickers and temporary tattoos. It was like Christmas, they were so excited.

To wrap up the serious part of the day, I did a short talk about my own background (complete with the story of how one of my professors told me I wouldn't qualify for Boston at my first marathon) that led into a talk about logging your running and about motivation. I had them do some thinking about a mantra for the season, and then we did some goal setting. I really enjoyed this part, as I believe the mental aspect is every bit as important as the physical.

And, as the kids started to get a little glassy-eyed, I gave them a game to play.

We split into relays teams with two challenges. First, each runner had to dunk a sponge in water, run down, wring it out, then run back. Then they had to dunk a shirt into a bucket of water, put it on, run down and back then give the next person the shirt. You ever try to put on a XXXL shirt while it's wet? Hysterical. I had my shirt on completely backwards.

Then, we had lunch! Every kid brought a picnic lunch that we had stashed in coolers, and while they ate I hung out and answered questions.

This was a lot of fun and I am excited to see how they do this year. I hope they stay excited about running, and I hope to hear they met some of the goals they set.

This Running Life Can This Runner Be Saved? Just Do It! Help! I have fallen and can't get up.

I fell off the running wagon months ago, but a rigorous boot camp program at a Raleigh boxing gym offered redemption - until the price went up and I couldn't afford it. It was winter and the limited daylight kept me indoors. Then I started helping my father, who lives 50 miles away, when he began having hip and knee issues. My work got crazy. Life got in the way. I bailed on two half marathons, and my previously healthy lifestyle ground to a halt.

For the past year, my fitness activities can best be characterized as “piddling.”

My gym membership expired a year ago.

Occasionally a full week goes by without any running at all. A bit of Summer Olympic motivation and a few bicycle rides along local greenways gave me just enough training to manage pedaling 80 miles (slowly) over two consecutive days at the MS 100 Bike Ride in New Bern, N.C. I used to run 20 or 25 miles a week.

Now I am down to eight or nine miles on a good week. I have gained 10 pounds, and now, before I call 911 for emergency assistance, I am swinging for the fences with a last ditch attempt to revive my running mojo.

Hurricanes and massive rainfall are nasty things, but the combination of having a car in the shop and Hurricane Matthew kept me indoors long enough to surf websites in search of ways to rejuvenate and restart. Here are 86 ideas I found that might work for me. If you are struggling too, some of these may help you too.

1. Go halvsies: If you used to rack up 20 miles a week, shoot for 10 miles in two or three mile increments each day until you are back on schedule. Increase your weekly mileage by about 10 percent until you're back in the game.

2. Find a coach 3. Focus on Form 4. Take swimming lessons and get ready for triathlon season 5. Wipe the slate clean and just start over 6. Create new kinds of workouts: Some running trails have benches, large rocks and even strength training stations situated alongside them. Create your own bootcamp-style training program. Run a bit, then stop and drop for pushups, tricep dips, squats, calf raises or any other types of strength breaks you can manage.

7. Start small, but think big: Set an

By Teri Saylor

audacious goal for the future, and work your way up to it in baby steps.

8. Train for shorter distances. A 5K race is definitely doable.

9. Run slower.

10. Switch it up. Run some hills. Do a track workout. Go long. Walk.

11. Join a running group.

12. Take to the trails.

13. Put it on your calendar and schedule it like it's a doctor's appointment.

14. Measure your success.

15. Start a running streak. It doesn't have to last for more than three decades, like my friend Barbara Latta, who holds the longest women's streak in the nation. But setting a goal to run every day for a week can stretch to10 days, a month, six weeks, or as long as you want to go.

16. Eat better.

17. Get more sleep.

18. Stop feeling guilty for not running.

19. Don't listen to the skeptics who say a 20 minute run does no good. If it gets you out of the house and moving, it's all good.

Twenty minutes is better than zero minutes.

20. Change it up: Choose a new route.

Compile a new play list. Create a new workout.

21. Get back to the basics. Can you say “Couch to 5K?” 22. Focus on strength training: As I struggled with running, I sweated it out in twice-weekly boot camps. I credit them for giving me the strength to complete a century bicycle ride, bike across Iowa in RAGBRAI and do my part in a 200-mile Tuna Run last year.

23. Track your workouts.

24. Lose some weight. It's time to kiss those 10 pounds goodbye once and for all.

25. Break it down into small chunks. Get up. Get dressed. Drink coffee. Grab a bite.

Get out the door. Start running.

26. Create a blog or a running log.

27. Buy new shoes.Then get them dirty.

28. Get inspiration from runners who conquered their own hardships and

7

55. Create while you run. Compose poetry. Write a song. Work a math problem.

Come up with an idea for a screenplay.

56. Run/Walk works just fine.

57. Start with what makes you feel good, then push your comfort level.

58. Walk or jog like you need to get to the bank before it closes.

59. The hardest steps are the first ones.

Just do it.

60. You don't feel like running? Swallow your pride and walk.

61. Stop procrastinating. Strive to be on time for a group run.

62. Work on building your base to help get back to longer distances.

63. Run slower.

64. Read inspirational books about running.

65. Watch inspirational documentaries about running.

66. Watch You Tube videos of great runners and great races.

67. Volunteer for races.

68. Go out to local races and cheer. Can you say “more cowbell?”

69. Cross train.

70. Look at photos of your best and most fun times at races and with your running pals.

71. Get out of those pajamas right now!

72. Try a relay. One of my most fun experiences was a 200-mile relay with friends, from Raleigh to the beach.

73. Volunteer for an ultra marathon.

74. If you don't have time to do a specific distance, see how far you can run in the time you do have available. If you have an hour to run, don't shoot for a six-mile run.

Instead, see just how far you can go in that hour and be satisfied with the result.

75. Wipe that slate clean. Face it. I started running from scratch about 12 years ago and successfully trained for a marathon in six months. I can start over.

76. Get out of your comfort zone.

77. Create a ritual.

78. Pamper yourself. A massage, facial or pedicure will work wonders for your mood.

79. Remember, you don't need to taper before running a 5K 80. Find your very own cheerleaders.

81. Keep in mind why you started running in the first place.

82. Drink more water.

83. Remember: Marathon training and snooze buttons are not an ideal combination.

84. When you feel like stopping. Keep going, even if it is just a tiny bit farther.

85. Get a fun new running app for your phone.

86. Follow the Nike instructions. Just do it.

achieved success.

29. Forget the pressure of maintaining a specific pace. Run your own pace.

30. In my mind, I am a Kenyan.

31. Count your calories. Burn Baby Burn.

32. Play. Run like a child.

33. Achieve your goal and reward yourself. A new shirt. New socks. A new toy.

A beer. Pizza.

34. Wear your Fitbit and count your steps. Strive to add steps on every run.

35. It's never too late to salvage your New Year's Resolutions. I have been working on mine - to go to bed earlier and get up earlier - for almost two years with varying degrees of success.

36. Get a piggy bank and put in a quarter (or any amount) for every run you complete. Then use the savings to sign up for a race.

37. Remember: sweat is a good thing.

38. Become a running mentor. If you have a beginners program in your community. Or a Girls on the Run program.

39. Run for a reason. Find a race that supports a good cause and sign up for it.

40. Keep in mind you almost always feel better after a run than you do before one.

41. Medals, baby.

42. Just start.

43. You're never too old for a gold star. If you are keeping a running log or calendar, put a star on each day you accomplish one of your goals.

44. Be realistic. There are some days you don't feel like running. So walk. Or don't go. And don't beat yourself up.

45. Stay off Facebook. Sometimes you feel like a failure if you can't measure up to your rock star friends on Facebook.

Don't get discouraged. Stay in your own life and run your own race.

46. Embrace the challenge. Imagine how great you'll feel when you conquer that challenge.

47. Try a lunchtime walk/run.

48. Make it fun.

49. Take what you can get. Even junk miles count for something.

50. Don't feel like running? Bike instead.

51. Ease back into it. Don't try a marathon right out the gate.

52. Keep an open mind. If you fail today, try again tomorrow.

53. Divide and conquer. Improve one thing at a time. Today, improve your form.

Tomorrow, improve your pace.

54. Hang out with other runners and Teri Saylor lives and runs in Raleigh, N.C. Reach her at draw inspiration from them. terisaylor@hotmail.com

Running Through the Age Groups Nagging Injury Forces Creativity to Maintain Fitness I've just learned yet another tough lesson, which is that it is probably not the best idea to try to maintain any type of formal training when you are in the middle of a tough move.

When we were in the throes of trying to coordinate our complicated move to a new home, I decided to take an innocent, easy 30- minute run over on the beach.

What I didn't realize is just how exhausted I truly was, having not even been able to sleep well for several weeks prior, and - having not done any beach running in several months - I probably shouldn't have attempted even an easy run on a slanted beach!

As Murphy's Law would have it, I was about 20 minutes into the run and at my turn-around point when the pain began; first, it was a dull soreness in my lower calf, but unlike typical soreness, it didn't loosen up as I continued running. It got worse until, suddenly, I felt it - that unmistakable pain in the calf that you know (but don't want to accept) is more than just a “Charlie Horse.” So, reluctantly, I ran/walked back to my car and went home to lick my wounds. And I had just gotten back into a good routine after my several months' long bout with plantar fasciitis through the spring; aarghhh!

Faced with missing my favorite running and racing season (the fall) and missing a key race I had been planning for months, I got pretty depressed quite quickly.

Dealing with the stress of the move and not having my running to help ease that stress took its toll. I began sleeping even less, became short-tempered and generally irritable, and I was drinking too much (and not eating enough!). In short, within just a few days of being sidelined by yet another annoying below-the-knee injury, I became a mental wreck! Not being able to run was literally divesting me of my sanity! I had to find something…any-

thing!

Then came the opportunity of a lifetime … I actually found a kayak race! Several years ago, I had really gotten into kayak racing and we had a pretty active local kayak racing community. At the time, I was having issues with my heels so it was a wonderful distraction and great way to not only preserve my cardiovascular fitness and whet my thirst for competition but I also learned that kayaking provides an excellent core and hip-strengthening workout. And it goes without saying that a powerful core and strong hips can protect runners from a plethora of overuse injuries.

Unfortunately, my former kayak-racing tenure all but dried up when stand-up paddleboard racing became the new big thing. I just couldn't get into that as it seemed way too slow! But…I digress! I couldn't believe my good fortune, having discovered a 9.5-mile kayak race just south of Wilmington, in beautiful Sunset Beach!

Well, I wasn't even sure I could finish a race of that distance, let alone place, so I thought I should at least see if I could paddle that far! It just so happened that I needed to move my kayak from my old place in the southern part of the county, up to the new marina at our new home.

This would require an approximate 10.5mile paddle up the waterway and I knew I

the waterway, then entered a curvy, marshy section. We fought the current for a couple miles, but my sailboat racing days had taught me how to minimize the effects of an “unfriendly” current; this knowledge came in handy and gave me an advantage over my closest competitor.

We emerged from the marsh heading a half mile to a turnaround point in Tubbs Inlet. This surprised me, as I was not expecting to have to negotiate a rough inlet. After that portion I breathed a huge sigh of relief. After some more marshy areas we emerged briefly back in the waterway at the halfway point. The heat was fatiguing me, but I kept going.

During the second half of the race, paddlers were treated to some of the most beautiful estuarine areas I have ever seen; this was well worth the wait. The last mile was in the waterway and, thankfully, with the current, so I “turned it on” and managed to finish second overall in under two hours. I was pleased because the only boat to beat me had two paddlers which put it in a different category. After collecting “the hardware”, we headed home.

The experience was wonderful and refreshing; we met some really interesting folks and saw some pretty neat boats. The next morning, I awoke with muscles I didn't know I had; I was literally sore for a week after the race. But now, I'm hooked!

I've signed up for a 25-miler, complete with 10 miles of ocean paddling. Yikes!

I'm also considering an Olympic “K1” kayak; who knows what may become of this - after all, kayaking is a low-impact sport!

As I write this, we are preparing to do battle with Hurricane Matthew, and we haven't even finished our move yet. But, I am pleased to report that I am running again. It's slow and it's easy, but at least it's possible. Stay tuned! Happy running, paddling, swimming, biking, hiking … just, happy everything!

would be dealing with various levels of current. Therefore, it would be the perfect test! I picked the perfect day for the trip; it was an early fall day which actually felt like an early fall day, instead of the endless summers we seem to get around here.

The paddle was extremely relaxing, although tiring because some of those currents! Whew! Plus, being in the “saddle” that long proved to be a bit taxing on the old derriere! But, the good news was that I made it, and boy did those beers Rob had waiting for me at the docks taste great afterward!

Due to the busy-ness of the move, I had no time to do any other kayak training before the race, but at least I went in with the confidence that I could cover the distance. What I didn't count on, however, was the ungodly heat and lack of breeze that would greet us on race day. This was supposed to be fall, y'all!

When we arrived in Sunset Beach, we were greeted by a very pleasant volunteer crew who helped us unload the boat and gave us a lay of the land. We explored a really cool water festival taking place in conjunction with the race. The race was staged from a gorgeous park fronting the Intracoastal Waterway, at the site where once stood Sunset Beach's famous floating drawbridge. We attended a safety and course briefing, and we were off right on time!

The event is quite new and as such, the race wasn't huge; however, it was extremely well-organized with hundreds of directional buoys and volunteers in kayaks offering refreshments, directions and cheers! I never once felt unsafe or lost on the extremely long and convoluted Mary Margaret, who lives at Wilmington, but beautiful course. We started with a NC, can be reached at nice current and paddled about a mile up mmmceachern@bellsouth.net

The Runner’s Rite of Spring

Fidler on the Run Keep Your Eyes on the Prize Sam had recently completed the Atlanta Track Club's Thanksgiving Day half marathon. As his coach, I was reviewing his performance and inquiring about upcoming races. He surprised me by announcing he would resume serious training in January, a six week recovery.

Unsuccessfully I tried to convince my runner that he would be recovered enough after one or two weeks to resume training.

Sam had aggressive goals but wanted to be a part-time or seasonal competitor.

To improve one's half marathon or marathon PR, an athlete should keep his eyes on the prize. Achieving a PR, especially in the marathon, is a long time process. The build-up over the years is cumulative, and the work done for one event carries over as preparation for the next event.

With hard training, most people can expect to improve for a decade. This 10 year ascent can be taken at any stage of life. Generally, most distance runners will have their ultimate performance if they train through their teens and 20s.

Sam's concern was injury. After a long race, a week is usually enough down time for recovery. The muscle soreness is usually gone be then. An old coaching rule is for each mile of the race allow one day before racing again. For example, after running a marathon, one should wait 26 days before racing again.

At the cellular level, the marathon recovery is not complete until three weeks after the event. However, training may be resumed after a week.

Looking back at that recovery week, I remember a study done at the University of South Carolina decades ago concerning marathon recovery. (I will not footnote the study but I am confident I am remembering it correctly). After the Carolina Marathon in Columbia, study participants were divided into two groups.

One group jogged a little each day after the long race. The other group refrained from running for a week.

At the end of the week, the researchers determined that the non-runners had the better recovery. I cannot remember if the scientists used blood draws or muscle biopsies to determine recovery. The conventional wisdom is that jogging aids recovery but the research did not support it.

The point of all the verbiage about recovery is, get over one race then begin training for the next one. The success of American marathoners in the late 70s and

By Lee Fidler

early 80s was due to focus on the event.

Each race was a stepping stone to the next. The races were not regarded as islands in a stream.

The journey toward that marathon PR or Boston qualifier is a continuum not a series of events separated by long breaks.

Each runner should approach his long distance races based on his goals. If those events are rites of spring, costume runs, or social events those approaches are fine.

However, if improvement is the goal, then resuming training as soon a recovered is the best path. Think momentum!

Running Psychology Getting to Know You As strange as it may sound, many runners don't understand themselves very well. In other words, they are not in touch with their body and mind as they run.

Runners are told to concentrate, focus, relax, get psyched etc., during a race. But how many runners are actually aware of being focused, relaxed, or even anxious?

In my many years of running, both from a personal and professional perspective, I have found almost all runners can benefit from increasing their own self-awareness.

Being a good runner means having the ability to constantly adjust, both during training and racing. How many times are things perfect in training and racing? Very seldom are you in an optimal performance zone. So that means you learn to adjust when you don't feel well, the weather isn't great, or when you've had a poor night of sleep. However, in order to make any adjustment when training or racing you must first be aware that an adjustment needs to be made.

So just what adjustments are we talking about here? Goal setting is one big area that often needs work. Do you have a goal in running? Do you have too many goals?

Some runners really don't have any goals, while others set so many goals that they get bogged down and never reach any of them. Goal setting is critical for running performance because goal setting forces you to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of your past performances. Goals should be performance goals where you strive to reach personal improvement criteria, like miles run in training, days in the weight room, or times run in certain workouts or races. You should also set short-term goals for each day or week of training. These short-term goals will help you reach a long-term goal, such as a particular race months or years in the future.

Any goal setting program means better self-awareness, because as a runner you must first set goals, then work to attain them, then evaluate your performance, and in the end, adjust your goals in an appropriate manner.

Running is a sport where there is a very fine line between running too hard and physically crashing, or not pushing hard enough, thereby limiting your best performance. Learning to monitor your body is critical for peak running performance.

Always work on reading how your body feels at different paces and exertion levels. Research has indeed shown that the best runners are the ones who are excep-

By Richard Ferguson, Ph.D.

tionally in tune with the feedback their body gives them during running. Try not to block out signals your body is giving you. By monitoring muscle discomfort and breathing rate you can learn to run just below the anaerobic threshold, which is critical for any long race such as a marathon. Cross the anaerobic threshold and lactic acid will begin to accumulate rapidly in your muscles and you will have no choice but to drastically slow the pace.

Another part of self-awareness is knowing where your optimal level of arousal lies. Get in tune with the point at which you feel excited, yet not so nervous that it hurts your performance. Being able to maintain an optimal level of arousal, both before and during competition, is critical for optimal running performance. If you're too nervous before a race it means you waste valuable energy. Feeling flat and unenthused before a race may mean a very flat, unenthused race performance.

During a race being able to energize yourself with self-talk or recognizing when you need to relax are also critical for peak running performance.

If you can learn to recognize what makes you nervous or why you sometimes feel flat then you can develop ways to relax or pump yourself up. Becoming aware of why you have certain emotions can be an invaluable skill. By recognizing triggers for anxiety, or even boredom, you can work to avoid the triggers, or if they're unavoidable, learn to prepare to react to them more appropriately. Also, if you know when you feel too anxious you can then use cognitive techniques to help get you back to an optimal level of arousal.

Think back to how you felt emotionally before your best races. Try to identify just how you felt and then work to get yourself into that zone of emotional arousal before every race. By doing so you can get yourself into what famous sport psychologist Yuri Hanin has termed the “zone of optimal functioning.”

www.running.net So just how can you go about developing better self-awareness as a runner?

Maybe the best way for any runner can be found in their running log. Many runners simply write down their miles or workouts in their log. Try to put a little more reflection into your log entries and note how you felt both mentally and physically in the workout or race. Was there anything that stressed you before or during? How well did you monitor your body feedback during the run? How well did you concentrate? Did any particular technique help you to relax or help to raise your level of emotional arousal? By answering such questions you will begin to develop better self-awareness and see strengths, but also weaknesses that need to be corrected.

Once you are better able to identify your ideal level of arousal and concentration you can then use some visual imagery to help you “practice” getting into that ideal performance state. Relive previous great races and the accompanying optimal

arousal level, thought patterns and concentration style. With imagery you can constantly work to achieve optimal performance states even when you're not actually training or racing. Then when you do actually run, be sure to attend what you are thinking, feeling and concentrating on so you can practice the real thing!

By increasing self-awareness you will be better able to monitor physiological feedback from your body and thought processes from your mind. Both of these skills can be a valuable tool in preparing for races and in getting the most out of your potential during a race. So start getting to know the running you a little bit better.

Distance Memories Mom's Advice If You Get Hit by a Bus …

I’m sure I’m not the first child whose mother said to them: ‘Always put on clean underwear… just in case you get hit by a bus.’ I trust I won’t be the last, either. Not to be hit by a bus, but to hear that erstwhile advice.

But the advice hit home recently when I was hit by a bus. Well, I wasn’t actually hit by a bus but I may as well have been because I ended up in the hospital just the same. That sort of thing happens when you have a heart attack, but I’m happy to report that I was in fact wearing a pair of clean underwear at the time. My mom would have been proud; worried out of her mind, of course, but proud.

Today, seven weeks after that eventful day I’m doing quite well, thank you. Now if I could only get everyone to stop treating me like I’m made of glass, things would be even better.

‘You better scale back on your running— have you considered riding a bike?’

‘Are you sure eating that rather large bowl of vanilla ice cream is a good idea?’

‘You better not try to move that piece of furniture by yourself; here, let me do it for you.’

By Scott Ludwig

As I said, made of glass.

But when death looks you in the eye and dares you to keep doing the things you’ve always done — running for hours on end, celebrating Florida Gator touchdowns with a beer, playing with your grandson like there’s no tomorrow — it makes you take a step back and give your life choices some serious thought.

Thoughts like running 20 miles on Sunday as you’ve done for the past 20 years might not be such a good idea…or toning down the beer drinking because the Gators are scoring touchdowns like they’re going out of style … or taking a step back and letting your grandson expend his energy with his friends rather than yourself.

After all, I’m getting up in years and maybe the heart attack was nature’s way of telling me to slow down … take it easy … move over to the right side of the road.

Besides, slowing down and playing it safe would pretty much assure me of always having on a clean pair of underwear.

But that’s the problem. What good is wearing clean underwear if there’s no chance of being hit by a bus? I still WANT to run 20-milers. I still WANT to drink beer when the Gators score. I still WANT to play with my grandson. Before long my legs will tell me 20 miles is out of the question. Before long my stomach will tell me it’s time to stop drinking beer. Before long my grandson will outgrow rolling around in the back yard with his G-Pa. Before long, however, isn’t now. Right now I want to do the things I’ve always enjoyed doing. It’s what I do, it’s what I know, and most of all it’s who I am. Sure, the heart attack was a sign that I should do a better job of listening to my body, something I’ve never been very good at doing.

Sure, the heart attack was a sign that I could be making better decisions when it comes to my diet. Sure, the heart attack

11

was a sign that it’s OK to take it easy every now and then.

But the heart attack wasn’t a sign to stop doing the things I’ve always enjoyed doing. Rather, it was a sign that I should be a little more sensible, a little more responsible and a little more relaxed in the manner I go about things. I’m fine with all of that.

But I’m still alive and kicking and hope to be until the day I die. After all, what’s the use of wearing clean underwear if there’s virtually no chance of getting hit by a bus?

Besides, if I gave up the things I enjoy I may as well not wear any underwear at all.

And nobody wants that.

Learning from the Young Guns Quick Guide to Stretching It’s easy to watch some of the best runners in the world run and try to emulate the way they move while they run. The reality is everyone is put together a little differently and what is beautiful form for one person may not be beautiful form for you.

Finding your own stride is important and part of that is making sure that you have the proper range of motion. During video analysis at our ZAP Fitness adult running camps it’s common for head coach Pete Rea to say, “It looks like your ______ (fill in muscle of your choice) is/are really tight.” The response is often the resigned acknowledgment of someone being told something they already know. The question then becomes how to correct some of those issues in order to improve efficiency.

There are many ways to mobilize tissue, the specifics of which could fill an entire book, but none is more well known or debated as stretching. There are times when stretching can be beneficial and there are times where it can cause more harm than good. One of the biggest stretching missteps is stretching an acute muscle injury. When you strain a ham-

string for instance, the pain you feel is from tiny tears in the muscle fiber. Instinct tells us to stretch the muscle to loosen it up, but what that will actually do is exacerbate the problem by pulling those tiny tears wider and lengthening the recovery time.

Another common mistake when it comes to stretching is with pre-competition stretching. Doing some dynamic movements such as leg swings, high knee skips, or active isolated stretching where you only hold the stretch for 2-3 seconds at a time is a good way to prime the muscles for harder efforts like races and workouts.

These types of movements should be done after a proper warm-up where you have worked up a light sweat and the muscles are warm. These active range of motion exercises or stretches help establish a wider range of motion and increase the blood flow to the muscles, allowing your muscles to move freely when your stride increases in length to run quicker.

You should however, avoid prolonged static stretching prior to a race or hard workout. Think of your muscles and tendons like rubber bands. When you stretch a rubber band tight and let go it snaps back into place, which is an example of elastic energy. As a distance runner elastic energy is your friend, it is the recoil in your tendons and muscles that helps propel you forward while running. If you spend a lot of time doing heavy static stretching prior to a race you lose a little bit of that snap, similar to the way an over stretched rubber band loses its shape and doesn’t snap back into place. You want to strike the balance of having full range of motion for your stride without losing the snap in your legs, and dynamic or active isolated stretching immediately before competition achieves that much more effectively than long static stretching.

There are other muscles that are responsible for stabilizing your hips, knees, and ankles while you’re running. If these muscles are incredibly flexible it makes it harder for them to control the motion in the joint well. For example, when you twist your ankle you’re much more likely to twist that ankle in the future because the tendons are loose and have a harder time stabilizing the joint. Again, there is a balance of maintaining the range of motion needed in the joints for proper running mechanics while also maintaining the ability of the muscles and tendons to stabilize effectively.

Striking that balance is the key to knowing when to do more, less, or any stretching, and in his book, Anatomy for Runners, Jay Dicharry outlines how to approach the issue. The three critical areas of mobility for distance runners are the hips, hamstrings and ankle joints. There are other areas where mobility can be an issue, but these are the most common problem areas for distance runners.

Proper range of motion on the front side

of the hip is important for hip extension, the part of the stride where your foot is behind your hips. Proper hip extension ensures that you are able to translate the power of your gluteal muscles, hamstrings and calves into forward movement efficiently. Improper hip extension can lead to lower back problems and a variety of compensatory issues below the hips including stabilization and muscle recruitment. To perform Dicharry’s hip extension test, kneel down on one knee and try to flatten out the small curve in your lower back by tucking your hips forward. If you feel a stretch on your quad or hip flexor then you are lacking range of motion in the front of your hip and should be mindful of stretching that area after each run.

For the hamstring test, lie on your back and use your hands to lift one leg at a time, keeping it straight, to a 70-degree angle. If you can do that without feeling tension in your hamstring then you have adequate range of motion. For testing ankle mobility sit in a chair with your feet flat on the ground. Then slide you hips forward while keeping your feet flat on the ground. If you can get your knees out as far as or just past your toes without picking your heels off the ground then you have adequate range of motion. If not you should spend some time stretching your lower legs after your runs.

Stretching is a hotly debated subject in distance running circles for good reason and can be as unique to the individual as running form. These range of motion guidelines can help you understand how stretching can effectively be incorporated into your training routine and when less can be more.

“We Run The South”

Running Journal • November, 2016

Inspired Daily Labor of Love from Running's Life Enrichment Labor Day. It means different things to different people, as do so many of our observed holidays. But I think most people view it as a day off to celebrate “the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.” [1] And that can mean a day of rest, a family barbecue, a day to hit all the Labor Day sales at our favorite specialty shops and malls, or a day at the beach.

For me, the weeks leading up to Labor Day are the most stressful of the whole year as I finalize all the last minute preparations for our cross country team’s fundraiser, the Canes Classic 5K & 1K. For me Labor Day starts at 3:30 a.m. and as the day progresses, my stress levels drop as the event always goes smoothly until I reach my early afternoon exhaustion and, finally, relief that it is all over.

Sept. 5 marked our 24th Annual Canes Cross Country Classic, which is Manatee County’s oldest foot race and always on Labor Day. I am race director of this event not because I wanted to be but because it came with the job description when I became head cross country coach in 2004.

It is definitely my least favorite part of the job, but each year I do my best to make it a success.

I titled this column Labor of Love based on the gratitude and overall good feeling that overcame me as I drove home from this year’s event. The number of friends, family members, and team parents who joined forces with our cross country athletes to make the event a success was just incredible. Having so many people step up and take major projects off my plate was refreshing. Everyone pitched in, which resulted in the participants having yet another awesome experience. So many people thanked me after the race and I still give the credit to all of our volunteers for making it a success.

I may organize the event but I could not make it happen without all of our generous volunteers. All I could think about on the drive home was how lucky I am to know so many great people and the blessing they are in my life. Thank you running for making my life so rich with these fun, caring, giving people!

Let’s back up two days to Saturday, Sept. 3, 2016 when Manatee High School hosted the largest cross country meet ever in Manatee County, the Bradenton Runners Club XC Invitational. Twenty eight teams and over 700 athletes converged on GT Bray Park, where we host

By Rae Ann Darling Reed

our Canes Classic, our home meets, and where we practice during the season.

How could we forget the fact that school had been cancelled that Thursday and Friday due to Hurricane Hermine!?

Adding that uncertainty to an already stressful weekend really tested my limits.

But again, that feeling of relief overcame me as we cleaned up the course. We received many, many thanks from coach-

es, parents, and athletes who enjoyed the meet. I felt I could not thank my volunteers enough! This time it was mainly team parents who stepped up plus a few very loyal and reliable friends and family members.

Fast forward to Saturday, Oct. 1, 2016 when Manatee High School hosted the Manatee County Middle School XC Meet at our park. The middle school athletes run 3K, using much of the same course as the high school 5K course. Our entire cross country team plus a few adult volunteers made this a wonderful experience for these young athletes who only get to compete in a couple of meets each year.

They worked as course marshals, lead bike, and course clean up. These high school runners learned valuable lessons in giving back to the sport they love and understanding all that goes into the meets that they get to run in week after week.

They were excited and happy to make this event a success and having the opportunity to encourage the athletes who are the future of our sport and hopefully some future teammates.

I do not enjoy all the organization and prep work to put on these events, but the impact they have on the participants and the volunteers plus the smiles and thanks we receive afterwards make it all worthwhile. I will gladly continue to give up my Labor Day and all the other days it takes for this labor of love.

PHYSICAL THERAPY HELPED ME RUN 2:37 BOSTON AT AGE 48

By Dan List (Dan List, a two-time finisher of the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon, is the owner-operator of James River Physical Therapy in suburban Richmond, VA. For more information, check out http://jamesriverpt.com.)

Marines are known to be hard-headed. So maybe that’s my excuse.

But why did it take me – a Marine veteran, physical therapist, marathoner and former triathlon aficionado – so long to figure out what should have been obvious? That, at age 48, I could trim several minutes off my best finish in the Boston Marathon if I only practiced what I preached.

If I was going to increase my training mileage beyond 100 miles a week, I would need to focus on diet, sleep, core exercises and a physical therapy routine that kept me injury-free.

I had finished 18 marathons during 25 years of road racing and triathlons. History and conventional wisdom suggested that my best times were behind me. I thought otherwise.

I wanted Boston again, and I was willing to put in the miles. But as a seasoned physical therapist, I also knew that increasing training meant increasing my risk of injury.

Prior to Boston 2014, my previous six marathon finish times were within two minutes of each other (2:41-2:43).

I was confident I could break 2:40. The question was how.

I previously felt it wasn’t necessary to run high mileage in order to run a sub 2:40 marathon. I was putting in 60to 80-mile weeks and figured that was sufficient.

I honestly believed that my training had improved year by year as I approached those six marathons: a little more mileage here, a little more track work there. In reality, however, I was doing the same thing but expecting an improved result.

I reached out to marathon coach Mark Hadley, who suggested that I was merely “pushing on the edge of the couch” with my efforts. He said what I really needed to do was “push the whole couch across the floor.” That advice stayed with me and changed my training plan for the 2014 Boston Marathon.

I knew I had to do significantly more training than ever before. My plan was to increase weekly mileage into triple digits for the first time ever.

At Boston 2013 I had averaged just over 80 miles per

week and ran a 2:42. So I bumped the mileage up by an average of 25 miles per week for 2014. My 12-week average was over 105 miles per week and included a four-week stretch where I averaged 115 miles (462mi). That meant running every day – seven days a week for 12 weeks, and often twice a day. My first day off from running in 2014 was on Easter, April 20, the day before the Boston Marathon.

In order to tolerate the demands of consistent high-mileage weeks, I paid greater attention to body maintenance.

The methods to my madness It only made sense to rely on the methods I used in the clinic. Nearly every night, I spent 15 to 20 minutes using a foam roller on my calves, quads, and hips, followed by stretching of these muscle groups by using therapy bands. I also used a tennis ball to massage my sore feet, and consistently performed core strengthening exercises.

The foam roller is basically self-massage. I lie on the floor and use my body weight on top of the roller to provide pressure. The rolling action of my extremity on the foam roller simulates massage stroking. It’s important to keep treated muscles relaxed, if not limp. If, for example, you’re treating calf muscles, you would move the roller in a head to toe direction using mostly quadriceps and hamstring muscles.

You can rotate your hips to slight inner/outer areas of your calves. I tend to concentrate on calves, quadriceps, posterior hips, low back, and hamstrings in that order.

The same principle applies to the tennis ball for plantar (undersurface) foot muscles. There are four layers of muscle on the undersides of our feet and they get tired and stiff

from running every day. I usually sit on my living room couch and cruise the tennis ball in a heel-toe direction along the underside of my foot for several minutes. Once again I’m doing my best to keep the foot relaxed to allow for the deepest layers of muscle to be treated.

Once my legs and feet have been loosened up a bit with the foam roller, I’ll gently stretch using a flat rubber therapy band. The band seems to simultaneously stretch muscles over several joints. I tend to perform a slow dynamic (moving) stretch with some static stretching mixed in. Typically I lie on my back on a carpeted floor. Anecdotally, I think the rubber therapy bands work better than a towel roll or belt.

None of this takes an exceptional amount of time, and it makes the next morning’s run much easier.

Core exercises As a former back patient, I’ve learned through trial and error that attention to trunk (core) strengthening makes me less susceptible to sudden onset back pain. I spend about five minutes total per day doing these exercises: crunches, bridging, superman, and pushups. These exercises help me maintain a stable trunk while running, which contributes to a more efficient running stride.

I began running consistently in college while preparing to attend Marine Corps Officer Candidate School. Initially, I was placed under medical scrutiny because of my history as a back patient. I took it upon myself to obtain a perfect score on the USMC physical fitness test, figuring it would resolve any questions about my back health.

My interest in fitness expanded while I was serving as an active duty Marine. I became interested in triathlons and ultimately was selected to represent the USMC at the 1992 Hawaii Ironman Triathlon World Championship.

Diet To train for Boston 2014, I stopped taking supplements and ate a normal omnivore diet. This made me a little more attentive to ensuring I was adequately nourished and hydrated to continue training through the 14-week training cycle.

I ate lots of salads, fish, chicken, eggs and yogurt, and replenished with fluids, carbs and protein soon after my workouts to ensure quick recovery. I try to avoid processed foods. As a general rule, I didn’t let anything “through the door” after dinner.

I avoided alcoholic beverages during the eight weeks before Boston and skipped most desserts (except Gelati Celeste ice cream; there has to be some reward for all that work).

Sleep And lastly, I paid proper attention to sleep. One advantage to running high mileage is that you fall asleep quickly. My general rule was after my girls went to bed and I did all my body maintenance, I hit the sheets. I also reminded myself that growth hormone, important for running improvement, is only released while running and during deep sleep.

The result of all this – increased mileage and training pace, greater attention to diet and sleep, and use of core exercises and physical therapy techniques on a daily basis during training – was a 2:37:36 PR in the 2014 Boston Marathon.

My training regimen was justified. Hoo rah!

Now, if I could only break 2:35…

Women’s Running

Ultra Running

Moving Up To The Marathon

Train To Reach Maximum Potential

As you read this I should be on the women's press truck at the TCS New York City Marathon. I have been doing this for a decade and I am continually amazed at the incredible ability of our professional ladies.

2016 Olympians Molly Huddle (10,000 meters) and Kim Conley (5000 meters) will be making their marathon debuts on the streets of New York City. I trust they will stay in the mix and have stellar debuts. The phenomenal Molly returned after her race in Rio to start her preparation and if Molly holds true to form, she should definitely be a podium finisher.

With these speedsters moving up their distance to the marathon I thought I would provide some time tested tips for my readers who want to make the effort to run a marathon.

Having finished 132 marathons I suspect I am something of an expert.

First off I believe anyone who runs can successfully finish a marathon. The most important component of this process is commitment. Marathon training takes time and there really are no shortcuts. If you plan to move up then you must be willing to put in the miles. I think now is the perfect time to plan a spring marathon. Remember my Steve did not start running until age 50 and he finished seven marathons under four hours (yes he was too obsessive), so it is possible for any of you. He had never run a step until after he turned 50!

And he followed my tips to perfection!

Find a marathon to target as your first, and have a back up marathon just in case. Many marathons sell out early so if you pick one of those, then register as soon as you can. Try to find a good fit for you whether your strengths are hills, or flat, or rolling. If you enjoy crowds, then pick a big city event. But if you prefer a bit less commotion, then find a smaller edition. Go to marathonguide.com for a list of marathons, the race websites, and comments from past participants to help you make a good decision.

Once you find your target race, get on the website and see what amenities are available on the course and see what type of fluid replacement drink will be offered. Start getting used to drinking what will be served race day. This will eliminate any problems with electrolyte drinks.

Start gradually and only increase your weekly mileage 5-10%, and no more. If you are doing 30 miles a week, this means no more than three additional miles the first week in training. Over a few months your total will grow, but do take it judiciously. This is all about the process, so good planning will serve you well.

One of the most important parts of marathon training is your weekly long run. If your schedule allows, you can plan a long run every 10 days. In the beginning your long run

It would be great to have all the time to train one desired. Far too often, however, life filled with various responsibilities and obligations interferes. It brings the question: “How important should running be in someone's life?” And the follow-up questions of whether running is an obligation to self and/or whether runners have the responsibility to stay fit and healthy through their running.

It is important to stay healthy. Insomuch as running adds to this goal, it is a good thing. People also need hobbies and distractions from life that allow them to recharge in order to be more effective in the workforce, family and community.

Participation in running and many other activities usually enhances all aspects of an individual's life.

Ultrarunners frequently participate to excess…. in the minds of others. Just as there are “gym rats”, “cycling fiends”, people who spend a great deal of time and energy on basketball courts or any other activity, active or inactive, there are those who by all appearances spend inordinate amounts of time running. There is an old adage that to be good at something one should “practice” an hour a day. Two hours a day produces very good, and three hours a day (and I have to add assuming an initial talent is present) produces elite.

I could amend that adage. There are those who no matter how long they practice or train will never be elite. It is a sad fact of human existence that we all are not in fact created equal. Watching Usain Bolt decimate others who work as long and hard, if not more so, than he does proves this point. In ultrarunning there are those who ran more than Ann Trason did when she was elite. There were even those who could win in a race against her. It just did not happen often. The same could be said of any elite ultra runner. They have something in addition to all the miles. The miles simply allow each runner to reach his or her own maximum potential Some of those runners are rewarded with outstanding performances. Others get to participate often with less chance of injury. Others simply enjoy being able to be out running on the roads or trails.

Excuse me while I go for a little run… I will have a great deal of time to run…. 61 hours.

I am back. The run was more little than I would have liked. Perhaps the cause of the greater degree of little than desired/expected was lack of training. Which I guess brings me back to the point I was trying to make before I left. Performances directly correlate to training.

I set out to run as close to 200 miles as I

may only be six or eight miles, but attempt to add a mile or two every seven to 10 days.

Within six weeks before your marathon you should get two to three runs in the 16-20 mile range.

As you do your long runs you may want to add a few walking breaks. This helps you get through the miles and gives you a chance to drink your fluids. For your first marathon I strongly recommend walking through each fluid station to make sure you get some fluids into your body. You can also do your gels then if you decide to use them. But practicing with what works for you is of utmost importance.

It is also essential to try different clothes and shoes to see what works best to prevent chafing and to increase your comfort level.

Since the goal for your first marathon should be to finish strong and comfortably, you need to consider that you will be on the course a good while so rehearse everything to keep you in a stable state. You do not want all of your training to be wasted by blisters of chafing.

Try to eat what you plan to eat before the marathon before all of your long runs. Just see what works for you, make any adjustments and then stick to it. Also use this same strategy for breakfast. Many a marathon has been derailed by doing something different the night before or morning of your marathon.

Make an attempt not to become too focused on your time. Believe it or not, you get the same medal and the same finisher shirt regardless of your finish time. Listen to your body. If you have gotten in your miles and practiced the essentials, you will finish strong and be ready for your next attempt.

Be consistent and remember this is a process that culminates with the marathon.

Missing a training day will not hurt the process. It is about putting all of the parts together. Then you will become a marathoner!!

could. I expected no worse than 160. I had run 159 in the same event a year ago. The weather was cooler this year. I got to start at 11 pm and run through the cool of the night at the start rather than into the heat of the day. I had a good first 20 miles at just under four hours, and then the wheels began shaking. By the 5:20 marathon they had fallen off. There was no recovery. I ended up with 114 miles, and several long, recuperative naps.

Needless to say, the 20 miles a week or less I have averaged recently as compared to last year for this event left me unable to push through the barriers lack of training produces. Fatigue levels go up, both mental and physical. Performance suffers. I know the solution. It is time to train enough to determine my current maximum potential.

EAT WELL, RUN WELL

2016 Sports Nutrition News from ACSM Looking for the latest sports nutrition news? Below are just a few highlights from the more than 3,000 research studies presented at the American College of Sports Medicine’s Annual Meeting in Boston, 2016 (www.ACSM.org).

• As we age, we lose muscle. Eating protein prior to sleep is a nutritional strategy that helps curb overnight muscle loss. When healthy 71 year-old men added resistance exercise in the evening, and then consumed 40 grams of bedtime casein, the overnight muscle-building response increased 31% compared to men who did not do evening exercise.

Sounds like we should lift weights at night and then eat casein-rich cottage cheese?

• Soldiers who ate a protein-rich diet but not enough calories lost muscle during 4 days of hard military training. If you are training hard, you want to be sure to consume not only adequate protein but also adequate calories.

• If you think the more you exercise, the more weight you will lose, think again! Overfat middle-age adults who participated in a 12-month study saw no additional weight loss if they exercised for 250 minutes/week, as compared to those who exercised for 150 minutes. This suggests a compensatory response that thwarts fat loss.

• Do you burn many more calories by standing at a desk instead of sitting at your desk? No. Just standing increases energy expenditure by less than 10 calories per hour. But you might be less likely to gain weight if you include a brief 2-minute walk every 30 minutes. For example, you could walk to a printer down the hall, or take the stairs to use the upstairs bathroom.

• UCAN is a cornstarch supplement touted to increase fat burning and provide steady energy. In a study with trained cyclists who consumed either UCAN or sugar (glucose) before and during 1 hour of biking followed by intervals and then sprints, UCAN increased fat burning – but the cyclists did not perform any better.

• Can peppermint oil enhance performance? Yes, according to a study with weight lifters who took either peppermint oil or a peppermint flavored placebo 15 minutes before a 3-repetition max test. Their back squat increased from 268 to 284 lbs. and upper body strength from 218 to 246 lbs.

• Nutrition is one way to enhance performance. Training lung muscles is another tactic. After 3 weeks of training their respiratory muscles, college basketball players were able to perform better.

• Does stress contribute to menstrual disturbances in women? Yes, but the best predictor of menstrual disturbances (such as not ovulating or menstruating) is lack of fuel due to over-exercising or under-eating. Add in some stress, and the likelihood of a woman not ovulating can increase.

• Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have higher than usual male sex hormones which could be an advantage in terms of muscle strength and power. A pilot study with 8 sedentary women with PCOS and 10 controls (matched for BMI and activity level) suggests that the women with PCOS did, indeed, have increased muscle strength.

• Don’t like your body shape? Lifting weights can help you improve your body image. But please focus on being toned and muscular (not thin).

• If you plan to go “on a diet,” you want to focus not only on eating less and exercising more, but also getting adequate

sleep. Being sleep deprived can reduce your desire to exercise and eat well.

• The hulky body valued by football linemen may predispose them to sleep apnea – with the associated risks of heart disease and diabetes. If you are a heavy athlete who thinks you might have a sleep disorder, you might want to get a sleep assessment…

• A survey with college women reported exercise helped them feel strong, energized, more powerful, determined, balanced, content, inspired, and unstoppable. Yes, those are the right reasons to exercise – as opposed to just burn off calories.

Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival 10K/5K/1mile Fayetteville, AR – 10/1 The Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival has become a tradition in its home of Fayetteville, Arkansas, and it all began with three local residents 28 years ago. In 1988, Joe Fennel, Randy Rhine and Kelly O’Meara, the Fayetteville High School cross-country coach, were out running. Kelly mentioned that his cross-country budget was $100.00. Joe and Randy created the Chile Pepper Running Club and from there, the Chile Pepper Run. It was originally held in May and consisted of the 10K open cross-country run only. The festival was created in 1992 to bring together three Northwest Arkansas crosscountry races under one event which has blossomed into a premier running event in America. The Festival united the Chile Pepper Run; the Arkansas Invitational the annual Men’s and Women’s Razorback home meet; and the Fayetteville High School’s Purple Dog Invitational. This created the platform and critical mass for exponential growth that literally fed on itself.

“Joe Fennel, festival founder, deserves “Godpepper status” for nurturing the event from its seeds of infancy to the giant pepper it is now. However, it is larger than any one person now, and constituents of the community keep growing the event each year with a shared vision to benefit our next generation of runners” said Jay Lewis, Race Director.

Now recognized as one of the premier running events in America, the Chile Pepper draws 80 college teams and 120 high school teams from across the country.

Additionally, more than 750 individuals participate in the Open 5K and 10K. The event is held at University of Arkansas’ incredible off road course and all runners are invited to enjoy a hot Mexican food feast following the race. Race proceeds benefit Northwest Arkansas area high school cross country programs.

The 28th annual Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival was held Saturday, October 1st at University of Arkansas’ home course and hosted approximately 6,000 runners and over 5,000 spectators over the weekend. The Open 10K began at 7:30am and the Open 5K at 9:00am. The collegiate men’s race was followed by the collegiate women’s race. Following the collegiate races, 6 boys and girls senior and junior high school races were held with participants from Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Missouri, and other states.

The support of sponsors, runners, and athletes contributed more than $445,000 to Northwest Arkansas cross-country programs with $49,000 donated to area programs in 2015.

“2015 was a record setting year for donations to area high schools and 2016 will be even better. The Chile Pepper Race Committee donated $5,000 each to the seven area high schools. In addition, over nine smaller area schools received $1,000 to $2,000 for each of their programs. It is not a free ride. Each school provides volunteers to help the event with duties such as: course set up/tear down, food service, water stations, merchandise sales, trash pickup, registration, etc... They know without their teamwork and involvement the gun would never go off. Even more amazing are the dozens of unsung “citizen” volunteers come out every year to perform necessary tasks to make the event run smoothly and safely” said David Swain, Advisor to the Board.

Schools are awarded their presentation checks at an annual banquet held days before the festival. More information about the event can be found at http://www.chilepepperfestival.org or by contacting the

By Ward New On the first Saturday in October each year the Run Above the Clouds takes place in the scenic village of Suches Georgia. This challenging 5K and 10K event is the highest run (3000 feet) in Georgia. Since the course is run in mountainous terrain there are a number of elevation changes which make for an interesting run and if you add the occasional sightings of black bears makes for a unique one as well. The average high temperature on race day is 74 degrees with a low the night before of 49 degrees so when the race starts at 9:00 AM the temperature is very comfortable.

The Run Above the Clouds is held to support the scholarship fund for students graduating from Woody Gap School. The school is the smallest K-12 public

more results at running.net school in the State of Georgia and the scholarships are a community effort to ensure that Woody Gap students can continue their education. Students in good standing may receive scholarships for each year of study at four year colleges or technical schools.

While the race participants register and wait for the race to start, a group of local musicians play traditional mountain music which adds to the festive atmosphere.

It has been said that the toe tapping fiddle music is one of the best ways to warm up for a race and puts everyone in the mood to get moving. This year a local group of cloggers were practicing their routines after the race adding even more to the “down home fun’ of the event.

Each year’s race shirts are designed by a local silk screen artist and capture the unique character of this run. The shirt this year featured a scene depicting the winding course, mountains, running bears, musicians on a bench and of course clouds. The runners finishing first and second place in each age category receive a medallion which is hand crafted by a local potter. The collectible shirts and hand made medallions help to make this a popular event among North Georgia runners.

After the run, most runners venture across Highway 60 to the Indian Summer Festival at Woody Gap School.

Though pleasantly satiated by the abundant fruit furnished by the Run Above the Clouds, most find the smell of Bar B Que and smoked meats irresistible. To make this day even more meaningful, many race participants purchase a homemade pie from the Gaddistown homemakers when leaving the school.

Whether it’s the challenging course, collectible shirts, artisan awards, fiddle music, great food or just the friendly folks of this North Georgia village, everyone is sure to have a fun time at The Run Above the Clouds in Suches, GA. 10K: Top 25 – 1-Will Harkins 44:16, 2-Nathan Long 46:00, 3-Brian Williams 46:05, 4-Victor Gonzalez 47:54, 5-Thomas Mellendorf 48:12, 6-Archie Grunden 48:25, 7-Aaron Johnston 49:40, 8-Ronnie Abernathy 51:11, 9-

Shelby Bottoms Boogie 15K/5K Nashville, TN – 9/17

By Peter Pressman This year’s 17th Annual Shelby Bottoms Boogie hosted by the Nashville Striders benefitting ONEless Ministries, attracted a field of over 200 runners for the 15K and 5K races. ONEless Ministries states their mission as follows: “to eradicate human trafficking through prevention homes and prevention programs in the U.S. and around the world.” The organization brought an enthusiastic group of more than 50 volunteers to assist Striders volunteers with race morning logistics.

This annual race is part of the Nashville Striders

2016-2017 Grand Prix Series, and staged in Shelby Park and along the Shelby Bottoms Greenway, a very popular training and racing venue for local runners.

Several Achilles Nashville Chapter Athletes with their Guides participated in either the 5K or 15K, with Jay Denning [1:19:21] and Amy Saffell [1:56:48] capturing the 15K Wheelchair victories. Sara “Lizzy” Solomon [49:32] was the 5K Wheelchair winner.

Forecast was for rain and storms late morning; however the storm system arrived a bit earlier. Fortunately most of the 15K runners had completed the race. We were forced to seek cover for the conclusion of the Awards Ceremony.

Overall Winners in the 15K were Rebecca Murray, age 31 [1:04:51] and Joseph Elsakr, age 25 [53:05].
