Post Race Letdown, Be OK With It So, here’s the situation. You registered for a challenging race, trained for months, pulled up to the starting line, smashed your goal to achieve a shining new PR, and have the brilliant bling to prove it. Why then, do you feel like a truck in the muck instead of a kid in the candy store? A recent conversation with a fellow runner revealed a race trend about which I had previously given little thought. P.R.L.D. – ever hear of it? It is an acronym for post-race letdown, and it happens more than you might think. Sure, we have all set race goals and fallen short. Perhaps the positive splits replaced the negative ones we wanted, the minutes on the marathon clock rolled right past the hour under which we had hoped to finish, or we allowed that lady who had paced us for more than two miles, to pass us in the home stretch. Those things can be disappointing, so it is certainly easy to understand how one can feel a bit blue when reflecting on a race that he finds to be sub-par. Yet, the effects of P.R.L.D. are not reserved for poor performance. Many runners report feeling despondent even after exceeding every established expectation. Licensed psychologist and former sports psychologist for the U.S. Olympic Committee, Dr. Doug Jowdy, said that the main psychological symptoms one can expect to feel after finishing a big sports event or race season are confusion, apathy, mild depression, emptiness, loneliness and a general sense of loss. This could be because so much time was devoted to training hours that are no longer necessary without a forthcoming competition on the calendar. It may be because an identity was created in the training and race process and has seemingly dissipated with the inevitable end of the event. After all, it is challenging to be an ‘Ironman in Training’ when there is no imminent Ironman race in the foreseeable future. In these cases, some runners may find it advantageous to set new goals or register for another event. Setting a new goal may also be a helpful road map for reengaging with likeminded people. Experienced feelings of loneliness and loss can likely stem from the lack of social stimulation found when sharing your training goals and progress with others. Planning to join friends for a local 5k or relay marathon can help ensure that you stay connected. But what if your P.R.L.D. is not psychologically rooted? What if there is a physi-

cal instigator? Athletes’ performance can be sometimes be negatively impacted due to the hormonal and metabolic changes experienced during and after a race. There are also those annoying, nagging, and sometimes run-halting injuries that happen during a race. In those cases, putting another race on the running itinerary may simply not be possible. Remembering that running is “what we do” and not “who we are” during these trying times of recovery can be crucial. Injuries typically heal allowing us to hit the pavement with fully fueled fortitude like never before. In some cases however, running may no longer be in the cards. During those days, it is important to reconnect with who we are at our essence. Become quiet, still, and re-centered. Relish in the memories of the miles and discover another love. The love may be running related like, coaching, volunteering, or working at a running store, or it may be something that previously seemed completely out of your realm of personal possibility. The point is to acknowledge the post-race letdown and be ‘ok’ with it. ‘OK’ may look like scheduling another race, resting, recovering, or trying something new. It may look like celebrating your accomplishments by framing finish line photos, hanging your hardware, or treating yourself to a new pair of shoes.

Running Psychology Becoming a Rational Runner Many runners think too much. They analyze, ponder and try to make sense out of the world around them. If anything they tend to over-think. In fact almost all humans tend to over-think. Our minds make us human, but at the same time our consciousness can get in the way of allowing ourselves to physically perform like we're capable of. In other words, we may actually think ourselves into running below our real capability. Too often we cognitively distort things and think in very irrational ways. It's this irrational thinking that may limit our performance, as well as limit our enjoyment of running. Let's look at some common irrational thinking patterns often seen in runners. Do you ever over-generalize, or base a conclusion on a single event or a single race? If you have a bad run on a particular course do you then think you can never run well on that course? Do you ever say you never run well in the rain? Such thinking simply involves jumping to unwarranted conclusions based on a single event. The best way to cope with over generalizations is to really look at the evidence. I'll bet you really can't say you've NEVER run well in the rain or you have NEVER run well on a particular course. Just think about how irrational it is to use the word NEVER! Don't blow a single event out of proportion. Do you ever look at your running in absolute terms: it's good or bad, successful or unsuccessful? There just seems to be no room for any middle ground. Either you feel great about a race or you're extremely disappointed in your performance. This type of “all or none” thinking is dangerous because the world we live in is just not one way or another. To overcome thinking in absolute terms try not to categorize things. Sure, it's simple to think in terms of good-bad, black-white, all or none, but most things in life are not at the ends of the extremes. Most things are on a continuum between the extremes. So try not to look at your running in terms of being bad or good. Remind yourself to give your best effort. If you do so then you really have had a “good” run! Enjoy your effort in a training run or race and be joyous that you gave your best effort! Do you ever catastrophize running? Catastrophizing involves thinking in the “worst case scenario” mode. It's when you always expect a disaster in your running. Things like, “I just know I'm going to struggle on that hilly course” or “if I don't run a personal best I'm going to quit run-

ning.” Castastrophizing also means you begin to think in terms of “what if's.” “What if I don't win?” “What if I hit the wall?” Such thinking only serves to increase anxiety and worry. Remember that running is not a life and death matter. Sure, you want to run well, but that's just not going to happen all the time. A good way to deal with catastrophizing is to remind yourself that you're well prepared and that you will give your best effort. When you prepare well and give 100% then good things can happen, which is the “best case scenario” you're really looking for. Do you ever get too personal about your running? Do you think that everything people say to you is somehow related to how you run? If you see a group of people laughing after a race do you think they're laughing at you? Do you ever feel people are disappointed in you because you didn't run well? When you get right down to it, if you personalize things you're trying to maximize your own importance and your own feelings of personal power. I doubt that many of us are so famous or noteworthy that other people observe us and base their feelings on how fast we run. Remember to keep things in perspective and your true friends don't care how fast you run because they like you for who you are as a whole person! Do you ever blame others for what happens in your running? Blaming is often a way of trying to make an excuse when you fail to reach your expectations and feel disappointed. Do you ever blame a coach for not preparing you well enough? Do your friends and family ever get the old “you don't support me” line? Well, if you blame others, then what you're really saying is that you are not in charge of your running. Remember that it's you who makes the environment you live and run in. Be honest with yourself when you feel like placing blame. Think about what YOU did to produce the result! Sure, we all have bad breaks from time to time, but

be careful of placing blame. Your running friendships may suffer. Do you ever feel running is just not “fair?” Do you feel because you've trained in a certain manner you are “entitled” to good race performance? In reality, there is no “fair.” When most people use the word “fair” what they're really doing are telling you what their own personal wants and expectations are. The way you want things to be is what you consider fair, but we don't live in a fair world. No, it's not great when you train months for a marathon, yet are forced to drop out at 20 miles. You may think it's not fair, but just think about people with debilitating diseases who would love to be able to just walk down the street. Again, work to keep your running in perspective. We all have different views on the world, which make us the individuals we are. Each of us has assumptions about why the world is the way it is and why people behave as they do. These views and assumptions have developed over time from the way we were raised as a child, our relationships and our personal experiences. Try to be aware of your thinking patterns and areas of irrational, non-levelheaded thinking that you may commonly use. All too often it is irrational thinking that leads us to feel nervous, anxious and full of worry. By counteracting irrational thoughts you will feel more positive about your running and you'll probably enjoy running even more. So keep a “level running head!” Richard Ferguson is Chair of the Physical Education, Wellness, and Sport Science Department of Averett University and is an AASP Certified SportPsycology Consultant.

Down the Road 40th Anniversary Races in South Carolina You know what it means when you turn 40? Since you are a runner it means you enter the Masters Division at the races. A lot of us take (or took) the opportunity to get in shape and try to make a run (no pun intended) for fast times and maybe a few awards in the races. But what happens when a race reaches its 40th anniversary year? Do they get bigger with age, or shrink; do they use the same course they used the first year, or have they changed courses or even locations? The 40th anniversary is a great chance to make a big deal out of things, and some races probably will. Others may just hold the race like it was any other non-special year. I hope they all do (or did) something special for the 40th. Why don’t we look at these races in chronological order? There are five that I know of in South Carolina this year; the first one has already been held. It was the Green Valley 10 mile in Greenville. So I can tell you a little about it even though it is the only one of these races I never got a chance to run. Kathy and I were registered one

year, but then one of us had to work that Saturday and couldn’t get off to go. This 10 mile race was held on February 11 this year. There is no record of how many finished the race the first year as far as I could discover. I got the name and time of the winner, from the winner Jerry Yunker, and his winning time of 52:30. Unfortunately he didn’t record the name of the female winner nor the number of runners who finished the race. The race was first certified in 1986 and has used 5 different certified courses. I’m missing information on a couple of years, but the course

Distance Memories A Shoulder to Cry On Ask any long-term runner and they'll all tell you the same thing: Over time a runner will discover two or three fellow runners they can truly count on; someone who will always be there when it's time to go for a run. No matter what, when or where (and occasionally why), they will always be there for you. As I've said before, runners are the finest people I've ever met. I've been fortunate to share the roads with quite a few of them over the years. Some have moved away, some are no longer physically able to run and, sadly, some are no longer with us. I still run regularly with a couple of people with whom I've run for many, many years. We've shared many a mile running along too many roads to count in too many places to possibly remember. We've pushed ourselves physically, endured the worst weather imaginable and experienced virtually every injury under the sun. During all of it, we've no doubt shared every last detail of our lives with each other.

By Scott Ludwig

Most of all we've always been there for each other. I'd go as far as saying we confide things to one another that we've never shared with anyone else. Because that's what runners do; they share a special connection that are impossible to explain but universally understood by runners everywhere. My closest running friends probably know me better than I know myself. That's what happens when you share all of your hopes, dreams, highs, lows, good times and bad over endless miles and countless hours. I referred to this once as 'asphalt therapy' but it's so much more

records, as far as I can determine are: 52:37 by Stuart Moran in 2009 and 61:36 set by Gail Pennachio in 1994. This year the race had 204 finishers, the largest number appears to be 371 in 2009, while the smallest looks to be 57 in 1986. The next race to be held is the largest in the state, a position it has held in South Carolina every year except for its first running. That would be the Cooper River Bridge Run 10K in Charleston, which will be held April 1, and that is no joke. In the first year there were 766 finishers and the winners were Benji Durden in 30:22 and Lisa Lorrain in 39:39 on a short course – as the City Police moved the finish line while the race was in progress. I probably know more about this race than any of the others since I wrote a book about it, and I ran it 35 years in a row, and the first time I ever broke the 40-minute barrier was in this race in 1980. I had planned to always run this race until a head on car wreck (the other driver was texting and came across the line and hit us head on) basically ended my running. The race has

than that. There will always be times when things aren't going your way or how you would like them to be going. Your partners will be there to listen, offer advice and/or provide encouragement. And, if necessary, they'll lend you a shoulder to cry on. There may be times, of course when you'll have to (or may simply want to) run alone and there won't be anyone there for you to pour your heart out to. Just remember; the road always has a shoulder for you to cry on. Scott Ludwig is president and founder of Darkside Running Club (.com).

always begun in the City of Mount Pleasant and gone over one of the bridges connecting to Charleston, with a finish in the downtown area. The race has used 3 different bridges as it has gotten larger and has used 9 different certified courses since it was first certified in 1985. The course records are: 27:40 set in 2000 by James Koskei and 31:19 by Elana Myer in 1997. Last year the race had 26,843 finishers. The largest number to finish the race was 36,755 in 2012 while the smallest was 766 the first year. The next race is the Reedy River Run 10K to be held on April 22nd in Greenville. The first year the race was held it was the largest race in the state with 853 timed finishers. The winners were Benji Durden in 30:29 and Krista Hanna in 40:50. The race has used 8 different certified courses since its first one in 1986. Most of the loop courses begin and end downtown in the city and have included a notorious uphill finish. I understand the course has been revamped to alleviate some of that problem. I’ve run this race a number of times but will never forget the year it was raining really hard, and the water was coming down that final hill like a flood. The course records are: 29:33 held jointly by Joseph Kariuki in 1996 and Bobby Mack in 2011. Female record is 33:04 set by Neely Gracey in 2013. Last year the race had 915 finishers. The largest number was 1,426 in 2009 and the smallest 575 in 2004. The next race is the Rice Festival Run 5K in Walterboro to be held April 29th. The race began as a 5 mile course and there are no records of how many runners or who won the race. The race was switched to a certified 5K route (which incorporated part of the old 5M course) in 1989. It is single lasso shaped loop which begins in the downtown area and finishes going uphill at the Police Station. It has been named one of the top races in the state many times, and always considered a fast course. But for some reason I could never run it fast. Life is strange. But ask Jeffrey Herndon, the race director, about 1989, one of the years I was in charge of compiling results for him and a heavy rain storm during the race washed most of the sticky tabs with the runner’s information off the runners’ bibs – this was before computer chip timing. We managed to get all but 18 of the 221 finishers’ information and I typed them up in the results. I’ll gladly send you a copy; just send me an e-mail request. The Rice Run has used 5 slightly different certified courses. The course records are 14:16.4 by Michael Banks in 2014, and 16:30 by Maggie Kraft – the standing SC state record set in 1992. Last year the race had its record number of finishers which was 363. The smallest known number was 52 in 1983. The next race is the Turkey Day 5K in Charleston which is always held on Thanksgiving Day. Since its first running with 623 finishers, this race has with only a

Women’s Running Taking Your Recovery Into Your Own Hands Injuries seem to be the bane of runners. Just when all is going smoothly, you pull something, fall, get a bad virus or anything to disrupt your training. Not only is it incredibly frustrating but recovery seems to be a difficult process. As we get older, it gets increasingly hard. When I fell during a race several months after my Steve died, I felt I was truly jinxed. I have no idea how I fell but it was hard. I picked myself up and walked to the finish. I iced the injury to my upper arm and refused to go to any doctor. The brilliant colors my arm turned were amazing but after 10 days I had a completely dark blue arm and shoulder. To be able to get some therapy I had to get a doctor's order. I went to my local urgent care center and got the news that my humerus was totally fractured where it met my shoulder. Of course by the time I got an appointment with an orthopedist (four weeks later), it was nearly healed. I finally got a physical therapy order in late March and started my journey to heal. Now let me be clear. I never missed a day of running. I have learned long ago never to ask permission, but to do what I can. But I was truly amazed how much range of motion I had lost and the pain I had in my shoulder/upper arm. The therapy was excruciating but I was determined to get back to 100%. Unfortunately insurance does not care if you get to full recovery. They really only care that you can do the basic activities of daily living! So my therapy was stopped before I wanted it to do so. I took my own recovery into my own hands. I carried my tools of torture wherever I went and spent nearly an hour a day going through a regimen of exercises. I have learned that recovery is something you have to want and be willing to pursue. No one can do it for you. It becomes like the act of running. You have to do it yourself. And returning to normal is a long and tiring journey. Yet it can be done if you are willing to go the extra mile! My dear friend Barb fell on Thanksgiving several years ago warming up her daughter for a race. Apparently she hit something as she split her knee cap. Although she spent months in agonizing therapy, she was truly fearful she might never be able to run again or even walk. No one really understood why she wanted to get back to normal. They felt she should be happy just to walk. Barb, like me, was not satisfied with that and she undertook a grueling regimen. I remember her crying in pain during her exercises. At first she could not even pedal a stationery bicycle. She spent months in a full brace from her hip to

ankle. She had many setbacks, but kept her mind on the prize of running again. I am thrilled to report after over a year or more Barb was able to run again. She has become a much more conservative trainer and she stays out of situations that may contribute to the possibility of falling. She is back racing on the track and at age 52 still would like to break 20 minutes in a road race 5K. She has changed many things to get her running back. She now does intense yoga, meditation and stretching. She does not run as many miles. Yet the lesson both of us have learned is that persistence does pay off. We are both back to as close to 100% as possible. We refused to accept anything less. We got the help we needed then took it to the next level, not willing to settle for problems the rest of our lives. It was extremely difficult and I will admit most of the people who witnessed my daily routine thought I was crazy. The same went for Barb. In our 50s and 60s this recovery process becomes more difficult to attain but it can be done. Unfortunately you have to do the majority of the hard work yourself. Do not allow doctors or therapists to tell you this is as good as it will get. Keep plugging along and keep at it every single day until you get there. Once you have reached your 100%, you will still have to do some therapy three or four times a week. To keep going forward you have to keep at it so you do not regress. Both Barb and I are a testament to the fact that you can recover, but it takes time and lots of work. Injury befalls all of us at one time or another. When it comes your way, instead of focusing on your woes, put every ounce of your energy into recovery. You can do it but it is not easy. We all have the desire to be as healthy as possible but it always requires some effort. Stay healthy and focus on your goals!!

Running Through the Bluegrass Distress Brings on a Trial of Kombucha Over the holidays, I felt like all the atypical foods and atypical eating schedules were catching up to me. I just didn’t feel good and I didn’t know what to do. I thought about a juice cleanse — seriously — but that’s a bad idea when you’re running 60 miles a week. Girl’s gotta eat! But after talking to some friends and doing some research, I decided to give kombucha a try. And I think you should, too. Kombucha is a traditional beverage that dates back about 300 years, made by fermenting tea. Food historians trace the origins back to the Orient; some people claim it’s been around for thousands of years but there’s no proof to support that claim. The one special thing needed to make kombucha is a SCOBY — a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast. This little gelatinous blob is where the magic happens. It’s very similar to the mother in unfiltered apple cider vinegar (and is often called “the mother” in kombucha as well), or you can think of it as similar to sourdough bread starter. That said, kombucha is not a cure-all. “It is not a panacea — it doesn’t cure anything,” says Paul Haney, owner of Kentucky Kombucha. “It helps the body do its own thing.” Haney and his wife Ali started Kentucky Kombucha in 2013, the first commercial kombucha brewer in the Bluegrass. There are now a handful in Kentucky and about 150 nationwide, although some states still have none (sorry, Ohio saltines!). The Haneys set out to make a product that maximized nutrition and flavor. “It’s not going to help the gut if it doesn’t taste good,” Haney said. Plus, they wanted to make it convenient. Kombucha is pretty easy to brew at home, but … really? Since kombucha is fermented, it contains probiotics. Same things that are in your

yogurt, and that are also in things like kimchee and sauerkraut. They are especially beneficial to your digestive system, and there is increasing research on the importance of a balanced GI. Without getting too deep into it, your digestive system is controlled by the enteric nervous system — your body’s “second brain.” It controls your digestive system independently of your brain, and sends signals to your brain, not just vice-versa. Kombucha also contains antioxidants, amino acids, organic acids, enzymes, B vitamins, gluconic acid and glucuronic acid. “Kombucha helps the body regulate itself by restoring and maintaining balance,” Haney said. For runners, who are no strangers to GI distress (considering some of our most popular articles are about poop), kombucha may provide relief. By drinking it on a regular basis — Haney recommends about 12-24 ounces per week — a healthy gut biome may suffer fewer problems while running. And many runners have found that kombucha settles an upset stomach post-run. There is a light effervescence to kombucha, and ginger is a very common flavor known for reducing stomach distress. Kombucha, and other fermented foods, might help keep you from getting sick. Heavy training can weaken a runner’s immune system, but probiotics can build it back up. NSAIDs like ibuprofen, antibiotics, stress, and even sports drinks can also decrease the healthy bacteria in your

gut. In fact, a 2014 study in the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport found that probiotics halved the incidence of upper respiratory and GI symptoms among elite rugby players. Things to look for: — Unpasteurized and unfiltered — because you want the bacteria to be alive. — Live probiotics — because that’s the point here. — Organic — because you want an unpasteurized kombucha, you want to know the ingredients in it are free of pesticides, especially the tea itself. — Low sugar and calorie content — because many brands market exotic flavors, that can increase the sugar and calorie content. Compare a few brands when making your selection. — Beer breweries and bars, and some restaurants, are beginning to carry kombucha on tap. I can get it by the glass at my local Whole Foods, too! Side effects: A quick note that there have been some reports of adverse side effects, although not common. — The introduction of new gut bacteria can cause some gastrointestinal issues, including constipation and bloating. These symptoms should pass, and decreasing kombucha intake and ensuring you’re hydrated should help. — Acidosis (increased acidity in the blood or other tissues) has been reported but attributed primarily to home-brewed kombucha with high pH levels. —Kombucha does contain small amounts of alcohol (typically about .5% abv, compared to beer at 5%) and some caffeine. — If you have a weakened immune system or are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor. Since becoming popular and commercially available beginning about a decade ago, not much research has been done specifically on kombucha. But, there is evidence supporting probiotics of all kinds, and kombucha is a convenient way to incorporate probiotics into your diet. It also helps you rehydrate and can be a good way to cut your soda consumption. Tracy Green is a runner and writer living in Louisville, KY, where she lives with her husband, Chris.

DOWN THE ROAD CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 few exceptions, always been the second largest race in Charleston and the largest5K race in the state. This was my first road race and I was handed my popsicle stick with my finish place number on it as I crossed the finish line, as were all the other finishers. Since I wanted to know how many finished the race I waited until the last finisher crossed the finish line and asked him what his place was. The only results recorded were for the race winners. The winners of the first race: 14:35 Randy Flowers and 19:33 Bambi Downs. The course is basically a very flat loop of downtown Charleston which goes around the historic battery, starting and finishing beside Marion Square. Six different certified courses have been used since 1986. When the course was measured for certification, the old course was found to be just over 3 miles long. The course records are: 14:20 by Bobby Mack in 2015, and 16:32 by Maggie Kraft in 1990. Last year the Turkey Day had 6,798 finishers. The record number of finishers was 7,542 in 2015, and the smallest 620 in 1980. The final of our 40th anniversary races in SC will be the Kiawah Island Marathon on December 9. The race began as the Island Marathon on the Isle of Palms as a 6 loop course and had 113 finishers. Repeating those flat loops got agonizing the last time around as I can testify since I ran my first marathon there in 1979. My wife Kathy told me I didn’t look too good the last time around as she was a course monitor that day. In 1985 the race was moved to Kiawah Island. Kathy and I have both run the half marathon on Kiawah Island and I know it is one of her favorite races. The race has used 9 different certified courses since 1985, all of them various out and back or looping courses on the mostly flat island. The course records are: 2:20:27 by Peter Ayieni and 2:42:05 by Justyna Mudy, both set in 2011. Last year the race had 1,028 finishers. The record number was in 1999 when 1,133 crossed the finish line. The smallest number was the 113 the first year. That’s our list. You know that if a race has entered the Masters Division of races that it has to be doing something right. Probably a lot of things right. And from experience I will testify that all of these races are races you should run. Will you be running down the road 40 years on? Let’s hope so and maybe it’ll be the 80th running of each of these races. Cedric Jaggers was elected to the South Carolina Road Runners Hall of Fame in 1992.

EAT WELL, RUN WELL

Meal Timing: Does It Matter When You Eat? Don’t let Meals and snacking patterns have changed over the past 40 years. You have undoubtedly noticed that many of us are eating fewer calories from meals and more calories from snacks. As a result, I get questions from both runners and non-athletes alike about how to best fuel their bodies: Should I stop eating after 8:00 pm? Which is better: to eat 3 or 6 meals a day? Does it really matter if I skip breakfast? Because meals can be a central part of our social life – and busy training schedules can contribute to chaotic eating patterns – many runners disregard the fact that food is more than just fuel. When (and what) you eat impacts your future health (as well as today’s performance). Food consumption affects the central clock in your brain. This clock controls circadian rhythms and impacts all aspects of metabolism, including how your organs function. Restricting daytime food and eating in chaotic patterns disrupts normal biological rhythms. The end result: erratic meal timing can impact the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD), type-2 diabetes and obesity. This article offers food for thought from the American Heart Association’s Scientific Statement on Meal Timing and Frequency: Implications for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention. (Circulation, Jan 30, 2017). The information is particularly important for runners, because training schedules can really upset standard meal times. Plus, most of us want to live a long and healthful life. Hence, we need to pay attention to meal timing – starting at an early age. Children and adolescents who skip meals have a higher risk of developing health issues (higher BMI, more belly fat, higher serum insulin and blood glucose). Not a good start for a long and healthy life. (Parents take note: Be responsible with family meals!) Veteran runners also want to stay healthy. In 2014, 14.5% of the US population was 65 years or older. Over the next 25 years, older Americans are expected to grow to 22% of the US population. We need to outlive the diseases of aging. That starts with fueling wisely on a regular schedule and enjoying regular exercise! Breakfast: Is it really the most important meal of the day? If you define breakfast as eating 20% to 35% of your daily calories within two-hours of waking, about one-fourth of US adults do not eat breakfast. This drop in breakfast consumption over the past 40 years parallels the increase in obesity. Breakfast skippers tend to snack impulsively (think donuts, pastries, chips and other fatty foods). They end up with poorer quality diets and increased risk of diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and overweight/obesity. Eating a wholesome breakfast starts the day with performance enhancing fuel at the right time for your body’s engine. If you run in the morning, fuel-up by having part of your breakfast before you workout (a banana, for example) and then enjoy the rest of the breakfast afterwards (oatmeal, almonds and yogurt). This will help you get more out of your workout, improve recovery – and click with your natural circadian rhythms. Meal Frequency: Is it better to eat 1, 3. 6, 9 or 12 times a day? In terms of weight, eating 2,000 calories divided into 1, 3, 6, 9, or 12 meals doesn’t change your body fatness. In a study where breakfast provided 54% of the day’s calories and dinner only 11% of calories – or the reverse, the subjects (women) had no differences in fat loss. Yet, in terms of cardiovascular health, the big breakfast led to significant reductions in metabolic risk factors and better blood glucose control. The bigger breakfast matched food intake to circadian rhythms that regulated metabolism. Runners who skimp at breakfast commonly get too hungry

and then devour way too may calories of ice cream and cookies. If they do this at night, when the body is poorly programmed to deal with an influx of sweets, they are paving their path to health issues. Hence, if you are eating a lot of calories at night, at least make them low in sugary foods, to match the reduced insulin response in the evening. This is particularly important for shift workers, who eat at odd hours during the night and tend to have a higher rate of heart disease. Should you stop eating after 8:00 PM? There’s little question that late-night eating is associated with obesity. Research with 239 US adults who ate more than one-third of their calories in the evening had twice the risk of being obese. Among 60,000 Japanese adults, the combination of late-night eating plus skipping breakfast was associated with a greater risk of diabetes, heart disease and obesity. A study with 2,200 US middle-aged women reports each 10% increase in the number of calories eaten between 5:00 pm and midnight was associated with a 3% increase in C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation. Inflammation is associated with diabetes, CVD and obesity. The wise runners do most of their fueling in the earlier parts of the day. The best plan: Plan to eat intentionally. Failing to plan for meals can easily end up in missed meals, chaotic fueling patterns and impaired health, to say nothing of reduced performance. If you struggle with getting your foodact together, consult with a sports dietitian who will help you develop a winning food plan. Use the referral network at www.SCANdpg.org to find a local sports RD. Instead of holding off to have a big dinner, enjoy food when your body needs the fuel: when it is most active. If you worry you’ll eat just as much at night if you eat more during the day (and as a result, you’ll “get fat”), think again. Be mindful before you eat and ask yourself: Does my body actually need this fuel? Most runners can and should enjoy at least 500 to 700 calories four times a day: breakfast, early lunch, second lunch, and dinner. To overcome the fear that this much food will make you fat, reframe your thoughts. You are simply moving the calories in your pre- and/or post-dinner snacks into a substantial and wholesome second lunch (such as a peanut butterhoney sandwich, or apple, cheese & crackers.). The purpose of this second lunch is to curb your evening appetite, refuel your muscles from your workout earlier in the day (or fuel them for an after-work run) and align your food intake to your circadian rhythms. Give it a try? Even runners cannot out-train a poorly timed diet.

Learning from the Young Guns Preparing for Boston “A beautiful day for the marathon, seventy-five degrees and sunny!” Those are the words Dick Beardsley heard from the local weatherman in Boston on the morning of April 19, 1982. What would follow was his epic “Duel in the Sun” with Alberto Salazar that inspired John Brant's book of the same title. We have been fortunate over the years at ZAP Fitness to have Dick as a guest speaker at our adult running camps and when he's shared that tidbit from the unwitting weatherman it's met with the knowing laughter of a group of experienced runners. That day, despite the heat, which actually climbed into the 80's, he ran the fastest and best performance of his career. Between the famously challenging course and unpredictable weather, the Boston Marathon provides a unique set of challenges for the thousands who are fortunate enough to participate every year. Perhaps one of the biggest misconceptions of the Boston course is that so much of the course is uphill. The Newton Hills from miles 16-21 are notoriously challenging, and they are a make or break point for many runners. However, the biggest reason those hills are so challenging is because the 400 feet of elevation loss from the start to mile 16 is a punishing precursor to the 200 foot climb through the Newton Hills. Any time you have hills in a marathon from miles 16-21 you have your work cut out for you, but the early net downhill in Boston makes it a particularly cruel set of climbs. The key to a successful Boston, beyond your preparation, is to control the opening miles and not get caught up going out too fast. It's easy to slip into a fast pace because the early downhill miles make the pace feel effortless, but your quads and calves will thank you over the final 10 miles for your patience if you stay disciplined. As a general rule, the best way to race a marathon is with a slight negative split to even pace marathon strategy, but Boston is an exception to that rule. A negative split style race is still the goal, but at Boston that means a negative split effort rather than actual pace. You should aim to run the first 16 miles of the race at an average of 2-5 seconds per mile faster than your goal pace. That pacing strategy will deliver you to mile 16 having taken advantage of the faster miles but still prepared physically and mentally to tackle the final 10 miles. The other element of Boston that can

By Ryan Warrenburg, ZAP Fitness

cause problems, and this is true for all spring marathons, is unpredictable April weather. Even a day far less severe than the 1982 Boston can present problems for runners when the bulk of their marathon training has been done in winter weather. A sunny 60-degree day can cause more problems in spring marathons than it would in the fall due to a lack of proper acclimation. If that same day occurs in a fall marathon, it's made more manageable because people have done the bulk of their training in the summer months, and are acclimated to much warmer temperatures. We can't control the weather, no matter how many times we obsessively check the forecast the week of the race. However, there are things you can control about your preparation for warm weather, and that is where you should focus your energy rather than on worrying about things outside your control. It takes 10-14 days to adapt to heat, and even if the weather outside is cool you can improve your ability to handle warmer temperatures in those weeks before a race. Dressing a little on the heavy side for your runs, wearing a jacket and pants even if it's in the 50's or 60's, will help your body acclimate to warmer temperatures.

Research shows you need to spend 1-2 hours a day in warmer temperatures and exercise during that time. It has to be said that there are some risks to this type of adaptation. You must be vigilant about staying hydrated and keeping your effort, not pace, the same as it would be if you were running in cooler conditions. I would recommend over dressing only for easy runs or any cross training you might do and not for long runs or hard workouts. Slowing down your workouts and long runs, even due to dressing warmer, in the final weeks before a race can lead to the loss of confidence, and dressing heavier for those runs makes the effort harder to control and increases the risk you'll run them too hard. When our ZAP elite athletes were preparing for the Olympic Marathon Trials in Los Angeles last year, in addition to over dressing on runs they would turn up the heat in their rooms at our training camp and spend a few hours during the day in warmer temperatures. That may be one step too far over the line for your family, but if you can dress warmly to the point of being slightly uncomfortable and do some warmly dressed runs for a total of 2 hours a day you will make important heat acclimation gains. The great news about those gains is that you'll reap the benefits even if the weather is nice and cool on race day. Heat and humidity have been shown to have similar performance enhancing benefits to training at altitude. That is to say the heat stimulates your body to increase blood volume and therefore increasing your body's ability to provide oxygen to the working muscles, the fundamental key to endurance performance. If the weatherman announces that April

Inspired Daily Road To Boston Is Paved With Cumulative Fatigue And I wouldn't have it any other way! Although this week I find myself feeling overwhelmed by this cumulative fatigue, the high mileage, tax season, and my many work and coaching commitments. Sometimes it is almost too much but then my wonderfully supportive husband reassures me that we can get through it. Or my sweet Westie will do something cute to make me smile, or one of my track athletes has an incredible race, or I receive a perfectly timed email from my coach that both makes me laugh and lets me know that everything I am feeling is normal and everyone in our Boston training group is feeling the same way. Misery does love company. I mean Hansons Coach Luke Humphrey literally wrote to us that we may feel rungry, cranky, and tired but not to take it out on our loved ones… “let me be the %#$%^!#” he said! Now that's a good coach. For those who have not tried the Hansons Marathon Method (HMM) or for first timers, it is quite the leap of faith, especially trusting that a 16-mile long run (the longest run) will be enough. But I have seen testimonial after testimonial about how well HMM works and most of those include stories of setting new personal bests. It has worked for me several times and I trust it completely, which is why I decided to sign up for a Boston Marathon specific training plan with Coach Luke. I was looking for slightly higher weekly mileage and a plan more specific to Boston (with lots of hills, obviously). I have definitely run out of my comfort zone during these 18 weeks and am so excited to run my seventh Boston Marathon to see how my training has prepared me.

My sweet Westie is ready for a run.

Looking back to December when the 18-week training plan began, I was definitely behind in my fitness. I had taken 6 weeks off from running to let my Achilles tendon heal, then tried to get a base established before starting the training plan. For the first 4-6 weeks I really struggled and was not able to hit the weekly mileage or the paces on many of the workouts. Then I had a brilliant idea to register for two half marathons, one in January and on in February since they coincided with long runs on my training plan anyway. I ran both as training runs and tried to hit my goal marathon pace for the first half then sped up for the second half. I was able to do that for both so that was encouraging but I felt really taxed and my times were much slower than last year at these same two races. So that had me worried that my fitness was not where I was at this time last year. Then the doubt creeps in. And doubt is amplified when I am tired … all thanks to that cumulative fatigue. Then late February rolls around, which means it is time for the Gasparilla 8K in Tampa. This famous race offers a 15K and 5K on Saturday and a half marathon and 8K on Sunday. The 8K is the newest event to be added. I have run it every year since it began except for 2015 when I was sidelined with that hamstring tear. Every year I have finished in the top ten women, which is no easy task because there are some fast women who race at Gasparilla! This year I had an 18 mile run to do that same day so I began with a 4-mile warm up, ran the 5 mile race, then proceeded to run 9 more miles along the Tampa Riverwalk. Once I finished and picked up my top 10% mug, I checked results on my phone before driving home and realized that I was ten seconds faster than last year. But I hadn't been doing true speed work, not for shorter races anyway. The higher weekly mileage, miles and miles run at goal marathon pace, and yes, cumulative fatigue prepared me well enough to finish first in my age group and eighth female. I have a few more weeks of training as of this writing and when this issue is published, it will be just days away from Patriot's Day. I know I will be tired, but so prepared for Boston!

SPR NG SHOE REVIEW MOTION STABILIZING—3 | NEUTRAL—4 | PERFORMANCE—5

“The times they are a changin’,” wrote Bob Dylan more than 50 years ago, and that has certainly been the case in the running shoe industry over the past season. Emerging brands have seen some successes, there have been many new shoe launches (as with the most active past seasons, about 35% of this spring’s offerings are new), and changes in materials and construction methods have left their mark on the industry. Today may be the calm before the storm, as 2017 exhibits the hallmarks of significant transition. Much of the anticipation centers on the jump from standard manufacturing to automated processes. This could mean that we’ll be seeing shoes that are customized, quickly delivered, and possibly even made right around the corner from your house. Over the past few seasons we’ve seen new or improved manufacturing techniques and materials for uppers: engineered meshes, full-knit uppers, laminates, and membranes. Every shoe in this Review features one or more of these advances. And at the heart of midsole innovation is the thermoplastic elastomer, also known as TPE. These midsoles vary by ingredients, much like cookie dough recipes. Here, it’s the spongy foam that just may be the secret ingredient that makes a shoe a delight to run in. Brands look for their own special recipes and ingredients, and you are the beneficiary as these blends are all more protective, durable, and responsive than ever. As in much of life, education is your best bet for finding your perfect shoes. Your local running specialty store can capably assist you in this process because they know running and they know shoes. Use our reviews as a starting point. With their assistance and your own good judgment, we’re confident you’ll find success in your shoe search. —Cregg Weinmann, Running Shoe Reviewer for the Running Network, LLC

Welcome to our first Shoe Review for 2017! Even after all these years, the smell of running shoes straight from the box is still exciting for me. My first pair of real running shoes was Onitsuka Tiger Cortez. I purchased them—well, my mom, Marilu purchased them—for $36. She waited a few days to tell my dear father, as we had never spent more than $5 on a pair of running shoes in my first few years of running.

My white Kmart tennis shoes would be nearly pink from the blood blisters I would develop getting them “broken in.” Hard to believe, but in that era blisters were a rite of passage.

In today’s performance running world, our RN footwear guru, Cregg Weinmann, assures me that shoes are much better now than then. And I concur.

New England Exchange Zone www.usatfne.org

The key is to ﬁnd the right pair of shoes for you. Don’t be swayed by social media hype or some blogger who’s paid to write about the shoes. At the Running Network, we review product from more than 40 brands, and about a dozen support our efforts through advertising in our various media platforms. If you see a shoe recommended here, rest assured that Cregg and his tireless wear testers have tried the shoe and taken it through at least 100 miles. All shoes submitted for our testing get the same treatment, whether or not the companies advertise with us. It’s a point of pride that we keep those two undertakings separate from one another. We’re in the process of putting all our content online: on social media and on mobile media as well. We appreciate your patience and support as we work our way through this process.

MOTION STABILIZING 361º Sensation 2

120

Experience is an asset, and it’s helped the team at 361˚ make considerable progress in this Round 2 update. The upper trades the traditional overlays of Round 1 for lighter weight and welded support. The forefoot offers good toe room and light support with its own welded overlays. The midfoot has a lightweight saddle that segues into a thicker layer in the rear-quarter and onto a thermoplastic external heel counter that’s stitched for added support. The lace throat is articulated, which adds some give to the laces, and the top half has heavier welded overlays to anchor the laces. The midsole retains its two-layer system: a Qu!kfoam layer that’s been completely retooled (though retaining its responsive characteristics) and the lightly touched lower layer of EVA with a small medial post through the arch. With its good stability and cushioning, the ride continues to impress. The outersole is essentially unchanged: blown rubber in the forefoot and durable carbon rubber in the heel, with plenty of segmentation for good articulation. Put it all together, and the Sensation 2 is a solid performer.

“Fits well, especially across the toes, with good ﬂex. Nicely cushioned—bouncy even—and a good, stable base.”

The Gel-DS Trainer has been one of ASICS’ most versatile shoes, thanks to its light weight and good stability. Round 22 (I know, right?) incorporates the new Flyte Foam, making a light shoe even lighter, while preserving its stability and cushioning. The upper has a new, closed stretch mesh, with minimal, welded overlays. The thermoplastic Heel-Clutch support offers a snug ﬁt, without adding much weight. The midsole is dual-density Flyte Foam, though the second density of medial foam is less noticeable than on previous versions. The outersole features AHAR carbon rubber in the heel, articulated for a smooth touchdown, and a new forefoot conﬁguration of DuoSole/DuraSponge to improve both the grip and the cushioning, characteristics that go back to the beginning of the DS-Trainer franchise. The combination of good stability, responsive ride, and design execution earned it our award for Best Shoe in the Motion Stabilizing category.

“Super versatile. So light, smooth, and comfortable. I love running in this shoe!”

The Ravenna straddles the worlds of cushioning and stability so beautifully that it has fans from both parties. Round 8 picks up where Round 7 left off—and then pushes the envelope. The upper is a similar semi-open, criss-crossed mesh without the forefoot welded overlays. The shoe extends the traditional stitched overlay at the toe, which allows for more toe room, while welded overlays create a full rand at the base. This saddle features a sturdier fabrication, maintaining the ghilly lace loops over the midfoot. The DNA foam has been subtly reshaped to streamline the midsole, though it doesn’t noticeably alter the ride. This round’s tooling assists flexing and directing the foot’s path, guiding the foot throughout the gait. The outersole and midsole grooving in the forefoot have more noticeable lateral flex grooves that provide more flexibility without sacrificing stability. Runners in search of cushioning and stability will definitely find it here—as fans of the Ravenna know.

“Great ﬁt, secure and [with] room for my toes. The ride is about as good as it gets in both support and cushion.”

The Transcend is Brooks’ top-of-the-line Motion Stabilizing shoe. Round 4 is a catch-yourbreath round: some material improvements, but nothing earth-shattering. The majority of improvements are in the upper, beginning with the 3D-printed overlay supports that run along the surface in a linear pattern. At the toe, the upper is secured by a traditionally stitched toecap; at the heel, the foam-and-molded-thermoplastic counter adds some pizzazz. The lace throat is molded as well, securing the laces and the midfoot together. The midsole is Super DNA, just as before, with a long-lasting, springy ride, and the Guiderails still ﬂare up from the midsole to discourage side-to-side motion. The outersole is heavily grooved to add ﬂexibility, with directional grooves in the outersole to guide the foot forward. The Transcend is the epitome of Brooks’ combination of stable cushioning so if that’s your holy grail, give it a look.

“Plush feel. Stable, protective, and durable.”

The new Arahi takes a different approach to design; the result is a successful blend of light weight and ultra stability, which is Hoka’s most stable lightweight shoe yet. The upper is a thin, closed stretch mesh supported by 3D-printed overlays with fused overlays in the highstress areas. The upper’s support and flexibility are excellent, hugging the foot comfortably and securing it over the sole unit. The midsole features the typical Hoka setup with its oversized foam—a measured 32mm-stack height—for cushioning. Its more significant feature is the J-Frame, a second-density foam in the shape of a J, designed to shore up the shoe’s medial side and stabilize the heel by encircling its perimeter with a firmer layer. The outersole is primarily toughened foam with a skeletal arrangement of rubber spread between the forefoot and the heel. The smooth ride, good stability, and comfortable fit make the Arahi a great choice for recovery and high-mileage running.

“Snug in the heel with a stretchy feel and roomy in the forefoot. Light, stable, and well-cushioned. Great to run in.”

NEUTRAL adidas Supernova Boost

Neutral Spring 2017

130

This update to the Supernova Glide Boost moves the franchise forward to the next generation. This near-complete overhaul adopts features from the entire Boost range. The upper is an engineered bi-layer mesh with stiffer support provided by internally welded layers at the toe. The midfoot has a saddle created by the logo stripes, as before, adjusted to better conform and support. An external, split heel counter effectively supports the heel, and a ﬂared heel tab (both migrated from the UltraBoost) keep tension off the Achilles tendon. Smooth interior linings improve comfort. The midsole features a new geometry that’s better cushioned in the heel and has a smaller, more effective EVA frame in the forefoot. The outersole is the Continental rubber compound that’s successfully used across the Boost line, though here it has a wider proﬁle to make it more stable and durable. The result is a smooth-riding, high-mileage cruiser that’s protective and responsive. The ride, durability, and value earned the Supernova our Best Shoe award in the Neutral shoe category.

“Great cushy ride, but much springier than expected. The ﬁt was smooth, roomy, and really good, for tons of my mileage.”

Altra debuted with the Instinct (and the women’s Intuition) and receives an attentive update to its successful design. The upper is completely new, with an engineered mesh that adjusts well to the foot. The lining is smooth, offering support while snugging up comfortably. The footbed has a cushy feel, thanks to the polyurethane insole and EVA Strobel board—not entirely unique, but effective for comfort. The midsole is full-length EVA with a top layer of Altra’s A-Bound foam, and its zero-drop geometry lowers the foot’s position to a neutral plane from heel to toe. The well-segmented outersole offers a good degree of ﬂexibility. The tough full-rubber compound—FootPod in Altra’s parlance—offers a reliable grip, and its fullcontact design adds stability. This update retains the heritage it began with and advances the performance it has always delivered.

“Consistent comfort, ﬁt, and ride. Room for my toes and feels good on the foot. Cushy, and just enough of it.”

For many Hoka fans, the Bondi is the definition of maximum cushioning so getting its update right was crucial. Fortunately for all involved, our testers found that Round 5 got it right. The upper is closed mesh with 3D-printed overlays, putting Hoka’s bold graphics on full display. The fit is spare with the thin material, but plush enough where it counts most—in the ankle collar and tongue. The midsole is the Max, Hoka’s cushiest stack height, and it has a smooth ride, which feels firmer than you’d expect, but is as protective as you’ll need. The outersole is thin rubber, well-articulated in the forefoot, toughened foam in the midfoot, and well-placed carbon rubber in the heel. While the Bondi is designed for protection, its geometry, fit, and features make it a first-rate running shoe equipped for your high-mileage needs.

“High-mileage training shoe with a lot of cushion. The upper is slightly stretchy and very comfy. If you like road feel, these won’t be your go-to shoes, but they were great for my long runs.”

The Waverider introduced runners to Mizuno’s Wave plate technology, and 19 updates later it has legions of fans who depend on its unique ride. The good news about Round 20 is that all is well, and the Waverider’s tradition lives up to expectations. The upper features a new engineered mesh, with traditional overlays at the lace throat and, significantly, at the toe cap where the upper rides comfortably above the toes. The Runbird logo and internal band combine to support the midfoot, and a sturdy counter anchors the heel. While the midsole features new tooling that gives a deceptively low-profile look to the shoe, the underfoot feel is substantial enough to stand up to daily mileage, thanks in part to the U4ic Strobel board and resilient polyurethane insole. The Wave plate has been tweaked (the shank features new molding to stiffen it a little), while the rebound remains firm, but springy. The outersole is functionally the same—even with the new molding in the lugs that provides more surface to meet the road—but feels much the same as in Round 19. The result is a reliable daily trainer that can handle the mileage.

“Good daily running shoe. Good cushioning and ﬁt. Plenty of shoe for long runs. They were what I needed: comfortable, with good ﬂex and cushion.”

The 1080 is that rare combination: both a workhorse and a showpiece of New Balance’s running line, thus last season’s successful merger of Fresh Foam and New Balance’s best Neutral shoe offers no surprises. The upper features some subtle changes: The engineered mesh now extends from toe to heel, and the ankle collar gets some love, allowing better conformity to the foot. Minor tweaks to the rear of the saddle also smooth the rearfoot fit by extending the overlay into the heel counter. The ankle lining goes from smooth to smoother, for those with sensitive feet. The Fresh Foam receives some attention as the cells in the foam’s surface have been slightly reworked, and new shaping improves the ride. The EVA Strobel board construction and the cushy polyurethane sockliner remain unchanged. The outersole continues the full-length hexagonal-shaped rubber compound. Reshaped lugs and flex grooves improve the grip and durability slightly and conform better through the gait. The adage Don’t Mess with Success has been closely followed here, and fans as well as those looking for durable cushioned comfort are the beneficiaries.

“Fit really well, plush and smooth. Cushioned and protective. This is what I look for in a high-mileage shoe.”

NEUTRAL Nike Air Zoom Vomero 12

140

The Zoom Vomero was introduced as a deluxe cushioned, neutral, high-mileage shoe. Round 12 keeps this focus front and center. The upper is much like Round 11: engineered mesh with support from welded internal layers. The midfoot has a row of webbing straps connected by Flywire to add support and lacing options to the lace throat. The gusseted tongue keeps the foot comfortably in place. The reshaped midsole eliminates the heel crashpad, and a new longitudinal groove around the perimeter in the lower half directs the deflection of the sole. A firm outer shell encases a softer inner foam layer that surrounds the heel and forefoot Zoom Air units. The outersole features rounded pods, arranged like a two-lane road extending on the lateral perimeter around to the arch. The medial forefoot is similarly composed, but with three sections of pods separated by flex grooves. The combination of heel and forefoot pods offers both extra cushion and grip. The result? A deluxe cushioned, neutral, high-mileage shoe.

“Great cushion, really pampers the foot. Fits really well.”

The Salming line has expanded with each season, as it steadily establishes its presence in the U.S. market. The enRoute is a high-mileage training shoe, one of three or four of its models that straddle the Neutral/Performance categories, depending on the criteria used. The upper features a dual-layer mesh, sandwiching synthetic leather straps that extend around the foot at the eyelets to secure the ﬁt. The midsole is a healthy chunk of injection-molded EVA, a compound they named Recoil. The resilient ride offers plenty of protection from the road. The outersole is tried-and-true carbon rubber in the heel, with a blown rubber forefoot, a reliable combination that’s done well. The execution, materials, and performance place the enRoute on par with shoes in its price range and above. For those looking for a responsive ride and good ﬂexion, it’s more than capable of meeting your training needs.

“Snugged the foot comfortably with a near-perfect ﬁt. Responsive ride, almost didn’t notice I was wearing shoes, almost.”

The new Noosa FF joins the ASICS lineup as a performance trainer with a speedy feel, and the shoe’s triathlon roots point to its purpose. The upper is both snug-fitting and beefy enough for serious training. Welded overlays support the forefoot, and there’s plenty of toeroom. The rearfoot is anchored by a stiff heel counter, paired with a soft lining. The mesh breathes well, flexing effectively with the foot. The midsole is Flyte Foam, a durable compound that derives its responsive ride from the fibrous strands throughout the foam that flex and contract through the gait. The outersole is a tough carbon rubber compound in the heel and around the perimeter of the forefoot, while the center of the forefoot has a layer of blown rubber to soften the toe-off. The Noosa’s execution and performance will impress, especially if ASICS has been a go-to brand for you.

“Light and great-ﬁtting. It had a good distance range for me, including longer races and tempo runs.”

New Balance Fresh Foam Zante v3

Performance Spring 2017

100

Thanks to its performance and fit, the Zante has amassed a considerable following. The upper fit has been refined with each update, but this season’s is the best yet in adapting to its curvy last. The engineered mesh may be responsible for some of the feel as it holds the foot more supportively. The saddle is thoroughly dialed in, extending into the heel counter for great support. The ankle collar foam package contours well, securing it into a softly lined heel. The midsole is low-profile Fresh Foam, featuring new sculpting of the cells, which provide improved deflection in the midfoot as well as a smoother ride. The outersole features a similar tread pattern, though it’s been updated. The lugs have been rotated 45 degrees for better grip, and some have been resized to flex better as the foot passes over them. The numerous minor refinements have taken a really good shoe to the next level, all while maintaining the really good price. And that’s why the Zante 3 has earned our award for Best Shoe in the Performance category.

“The ﬁt was good, [it’s] now even better. Wellcushioned, fast, and fun to run in.”

The Zoom Elite has undergone a “right-sizing”—an effective weight-loss makeover—for a featherweight shoe designed for protection. The upper is a thin, engineered Flymesh with minimal welded supports at the heel, toe, and lace throat. The lacing is supported by thin internal Flywire strands that offer multiple lacing options as well as supporting the midfoot if left as is. The midsole is sculpted Cushion LT, with a new geometry that lowers the ramp angle for better efficiency. A Zoom Air bag is bottom-loaded into the forefoot to cushion the landing with a less noticeable feeling against the foot. The outersole is a thin layer of tough rubber, arranged in a series of pentagons throughout: concave in the rear foot, flat in the midfoot, convex in the forefoot. To save weight and improve flexion, the foam is exposed through small openings in the outer sole in the forefoot, medial midfoot, and the center of the heel. The result is a shoe that’s tough enough for regular training, a go-to shoe for tempo runs, and even good for the long racing duties. The design, features, and performance earned the Zoom Elite 9 our award for Best Renovation.

“Wow! This is a ‘Go Fast’ shoe, but with enough foam underfoot and a secure-but-barely-there feel.”

PERFORMANCE On Cloudﬂow

140

The new Cloudflow is almost racer-light and its performance purpose is apparent in your first steps. The upper is engineered mesh in the vamp, pieced to a stiffer, closed mesh in the heel and supported by welded external overlays throughout. The lining of the forefoot and heel are smooth against the foot, the gusseted tongue is thin and conforming—aided by the asymmetrical lacing—and well-ventilated via the mesh. The midsole is a thin layer of Zero Gravity EVA foam molded into the Clouds, On Running’s unique cushioning system, all lasted to the Speed Board, which adds snap to the ride. The outersole is thin carbon rubber on the heel Clouds and textured rubber on the forefoot Clouds, with exposed Clouds in the midfoot. The Cloudflow is the lightest training shoe in its line and its performance is first-rate. The attention to detail really pays off.

“Toe to heel, the shoes simply ﬁt great. [I’m a] big fan of the tongue and the collar padding. Nice lightweight trainer that provides great cushioning.”

The Freedom ISO is the first new shoe since Saucony’s EverRun midsole foam began transforming the brand’s running line. The upper is a uniform stretch mesh with the latest version of the ISO fit lacing system, which adjusts the fit with the foot while it moves. With its integrated design, the lacing doesn’t require a cage around the midfoot, so the feel is softer and smoother. The midsole is full-length EverRun foam, the first of the Saucony shoes to introduce it, and the ride has an almost bouncy feel to it. The outersole is full-length Crystal rubber, which gives an interesting appearance to the bottom of the shoe since the midsole is visible through the sole. Its durability has been greatly improved since it debuted a generation ago and is now on a par with carbon rubber. The sole’s texture is versatile enough to handle the roads, with a bit of bite for the occasional off-road portions or dirt roads you might encounter. The fit, ride, and overall performance of the Freedom earned it our award for Best New Shoe.

“Put these on and the ﬁt disappears on your foot. You feel the cushy midsole that is great, even after a marathon. That’s a good shoe.”

When the Kinvara was introduced in 2010, it revolutionized the category because it was the most reasonable running choice in a sea of minimalist slipper-like shoes—and at a reasonable price. Eight versions later, it’s still an excellent choice because it has kept to its purpose: performance. The upper is engineered mesh, with an effective midfoot support strap (formerly called ProLock), which was the inspiration for the ISO ﬁt system now used in Saucony’s top-end shoes. The midsole features the second round of EverRun over a soft injected, molded foam—EVA+—for a great ride. The outersole is a minimal, thin, tough rubber in the highest wear portions: heel, toe, and the ziggy path the typical foot follows from heel to toe. The EVA+ is a mixture of EVA plus rubber and is tough enough to manage both your cushioning and durability needs. If the Kinvara has been your shoe, you’ll still like these; if you’re looking for a light, sleek, and fast shoe, give the Kinvara a try.

“Each version of the Kinvara has worked well for me. This update ﬁts securely and has a great ride.”

To run a fast marathon, you need a good tempo shoe. The GOmeb Razor is Meb Keflezighi’s tempo shoe, and for good reason. The upper is GoKnit, Skechers’ onepiece knitted construction, with a smooth and conforming feel and welded overlays that offer good support. Thin, dense foam with smooth linings in the ankle collar and tongue give the fit added comfort. While on the minimal side, the 5GEN midsole provides a responsive and well-cushioned ride, in part because of the thin laminate that encapsulates the heel and midfoot. The heel-to-toe offset of 18mm (heel)/14mm (midfoot) of stack height offers plenty of protection, even handling our testers’ midrange training runs with ease. The outersole, which is a thin layer of carbon rubber co-molded to the midsole (with some exposed midsole areas), adds to the grip and sufficiently manages abrasion. The long and short of matter? Whether you use it for faster workouts, races, or tempo runs, the GOmeb Razor will not disappoint.

“Fit great with a snug heel and roomy toebox. The ﬁrm heel and springy toes make it feel fast.”

The GOrun’s performance validated Skechers’ performance as a “real” running shoe brand. Round 5 continues the momentum with an exclamation point. The upper is GoKnit, a circular knit one-piece design that breathes well, flexes well, and conforms well. Minimal structure is provided by internal welded layers that keep the fabric above the toes. While this tongue isn’t gusseted, it has a similar feel because two stretchy straps over the tongue keep the lace throat tight and support the fit. The construction includes a memory foam Strobel board, which elevates the shoe’s comfort. The midsole shares its tooling with the Razor, though without the laminated outer layer so the ride is more cushy than responsive. That said, it doesn’t bottom out and was comfortable for the miles we put it through. The minimal Parametric Web outersole is thin and light without being flimsy. The versatility of the GOrun 5 makes it a valuable tool for your faster running success.

“The ﬁt, durability, and weight were great! I was impressed with the cushion offered in a pair of shoes that weighed so little, but for higher mileage I’d prefer something with a bit more support.”

ARKANSAS Arkansas Runners Win Little Rock Marathon and Half Marathon LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - More than 12,000 runners and walkers took to the streets of Little Rock for the 15th annual Little Rock Marathon weekend races. Racers competed in the Marathon and Half Marathon events Sunday in downtown Little Rock. The following are race results and comments from top finishers: Marathon Overall Male Adam Bradbury - Bryant, Ark., 2:45:43, Chad Silker Ballwin, Mo., 2:49:28, Jeremy Provence - Clarksville, Ark.,

2:53:17. Marathon Overall Female Tia Stone - Searcy, AR, 3:00:44, Katie Cunningham Arkadelphia, AR, 3:12:01, Christina Satterfield-Gibbons Longview, TX, 3:15:06. Marathon Overall Male First Place Finisher Adam Bradbury Bryant: “It was a great race. I took the lead about mile 13 and ever since then it was awesome. I do a lot of my training runs on the river trail so this was like a home race for me.” Marathon Overall Male Second Place Finisher Chad Silker: “It was great, tough day. Felt like it was uphill with the wind in my face that last 6 miles. Any day you can get out and run is a great day. I don’t want to get sappy. Today was a hard day for me. We laid my friend to rest on Friday. He was in the Air Force and died suddenly of a blood disorder. To say goodbye to him was hard, so it was a special day to run with him.” Marathon Overall Male Third Place Finisher Jeremy Province: “It was great. Rain was awesome and made it more fun, being overcast kept the sun out. I thought it was going to be hard. I did really good, but about mile 23, I thought this was a bad idea. I hit the wall, just kept going.” Marathon Overall Female First Place Finisher Tia Stone: “I’m feeling pretty good. I struggled at the end. That last 10k there was a strong headwind coming back until the last miles. I was in a pack at the beginning and then broke ahead, I was on my own the last 15 miles so that was rough. I just tried to stay on track with pace. I knew my family would be at the finish so I kept going.” Marathon Overall Female Second Place Finisher Katie Cunningham: “It was awesome. Felt good in the first half of the race, and at the end I had to give it all I had. Totally the Lord gave strength to my legs.” Marathon Overall Female Third Place Finisher Christina Satterfield Gibbons: “I loved it. Kavanaugh was a little rough, but once you got past that it was good. The flat part at the end was the hardest. The crowds are great here. I’ll come back here. My pacing is faster when people start cheering.” Half Marathon Overall Male Jonathan Burgess - Conway, Ark., 1:11:08, Derek Lee Springfield, Mo., 1:12:32, Stuart Lisle - Edmond, Okla., 1:14:29. Half Marathon Overall Female Kaitlin Bounds - Russellville, Ark., 1:19:37, Amanda Scott Boulder, Colo., 1:19:48, Catherine Lisle - Edmond, Okla., 1:22:04. Half Marathon Overall Male First Place Finisher Jonathan Burgess: “It was a great race. All the support out on the course made it fun. The weather was not that bad, I’m from London, so I’m used to it. There were a few hills, but it was a fun course.” Half Marathon Overall Female Winner Kaitlin Bounds: “It was so much fun, I wish I was able to run last year but I had bone density and stress fractures. I’m thankful to be out here healthy and be able to run. I trained much better for this. This was a fantastic race and I can’t wait to do it next year. I’m training for the Paralympic team. I have autism. To be able to run this, I feel like a miracle child.” Wheelchair Overall Finishers Rick Weisbrod - Cypress , Texas, 2:26:36, Scott Porter Orlando, FL, 3:18:35, Richard Vaughn - Jacksonville, AR, 5:23:04. Wheelchair Overall First Place Finisher Rick Weisbrod: “It’s an amazing race. I love your hills, I love your downhills a lot better though. It’s a great course and I’ll be here next year. The rain felt good, you didn’t get hot.” For complete Little Rock Marathon information, please go to: www.littlerockmarathon.com
