boom of the late 70s and early 80s, we began our running journey with Frank Shorter, Bill Rodgers and Joan BenoitSamuelson as our role models. Through the years and decades we continue to run, because we still enjoy it and derive varying sources of satisfaction from our running. However, this is not to say things in running are all peaches and cream and are getting easier as we age.

No matter how long you have been running, there are challenges to overcome.

Injuries, bad weather, recovery from hard runs, low motivation, disappointing performances and maybe even brief periods of dropping out from running. If you run long enough you most certainly have met these challenges multiple times and overcome them.

On the other hand, years of running bring many, many satisfying moments.

New personal bests at different distances, feeling great on a long run, successfully finishing many marathons. Not to mention all the health benefits of running, like optimal body weight, stress reduction and lowered risks of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease, are all benefits of a long running career.I would venture to say that all the positives you have gained from running far outweigh any temporary negative setbacks.

I f you're over 40 years of age you would most likely agree that running is not quite as easy as it was in your 20s. This is not to say you don't still love running, but running is a little more challenging. If you're in your 50s or 60s, running is probably more challenging than it was in your 40s.

Honestly, are there times when you wonder if running is still worth the effort?

Have you stopped running or are you considering giving up on running? Well, I'm telling you to keep at it!

Sure, time is marching on and like a competitor in a race; time is not going to wait for you. Running is becoming more challenging as you get older and it's not just your imagination! It takes much longer to recover from any hard effort.

What once took a day to recover from may now take five days. Any little injury seems to hang around forever, even if you take time off. You just can't seem to do the volume of training you used to do and if you try, you feel so tired that it takes weeks to feel right again. Probably, most painful of all is seeing your performance times slowly decline. I always say that I run just as hard as I ever did, but it sure takes a lot longer to get there now. You might think, “how can I work this hard

By Richard Ferguson, Ph.D.

and run this slow?” It happens, it just does. Sometimes you maintain your performance levels for a year, or months and other times your times slow drastically in a matter of just a few months. Sure, it's normal that these declines can lead to some negative emotions, but there are certainly many major reasons to keep at it and continue your running career.

There are the obvious physical benefits like better bone structure, decreased cholesterol, decreased body fat percentage, maintenance of lean muscle tissue and so on. But there are many other benefits to keeping at it! There is a growing body of knowledge that postulates intense exercise like running may actually slow down cognitive decline that is often thought to occur with aging. If you have a normal, healthy brain running may very well help you maintain brain function, memory and cognition. No question about it, running can have physical, psychological and social benefits as you get older.

As you age maybe performance becomes a bit less important than it used to, but other aspects of running may become more important. The shear enjoyment of running in and of itself may become more important. You may find that it's great just to get out and run, with less worry about heart rate, miles per week or average pace. The social aspects of running can come to the forefront. You get to meet new people and hang out with other runners you have relationships with from your past years of running. An often overlooked benefit of running is a better sense of self-worth and a more positive identity. Running can help you feel good about yourself because it gives you feelings of accomplishment and a sense of being competent at a task. When you complete a training run or race, you just feel good about yourself. In a way, running can indeed keep you thinking young.

Always ask yourself, “how old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?”

This Running Life Raleigh Running Store Keeps Welcome Mat Out, Builds Good Will Author’s note: This is the first in a series of “This Running Life” articles on how running builds community.

I was running late on a recent steamy summer evening and as I parked my car, I saw runners already hitting the sidewalk. It was a special night in downtown Raleigh, just a couple of weeks after the tragedy in Charlottesville, Virginia. The owners of Runologie, the only locally owned, independent running store in Raleigh, had routed a Strava valentine around the heart of the city and encouraged local runners to demonstrate their support for the residents of Charlottesville and to take a stand against hate.

The “Run Against Hate (and for Love)” took place on a Thursday evening. Brent Francese, one of Runologie’s owners, admitted his team had come up with the idea just a few days earlier.

“We wanted to create a direct and positive response to what happened in Charlottesville,” he said. “We know that running is a uniting thing that people can do together. We knew we had to stand up and make a positive gesture.”

Downtown Raleigh is laid out on a grid, its streets running north and south, east and west without many twists and turns.

Francese said the grid made it relatively easy to design a run in the shape of a heart.

Running the perimeter of Raleigh, which covered the state government complex, merchants and restaurants, high rise condos, and even the local homeless shelter, felt like we were giving our city a big hug.

It came out to 3.2 miles, an almost perfect 5K. Francese estimates about 80 or 90 runners showed up, and most of them stuck around to enjoy beer and fellowship at the State of Beer, a bottle shop next door, which shares some of Runologie’s owners.

In addition to his ownership role, Francese splits management duties with fellow owner Alex Warren. The store was founded in 2014 by David and Kimberlee Meeker, two local marathoners whose passions for running are matched only by their passion for their community. Meeker’s father, Charles Meeker, served as Raleigh’s mayor for five terms.

David Meeker is also a co-owner of State of Beer, which comes in handy when the Runologie team wants to serve their customers a complimentary cold one from time to time.

Francese, who grew up in Charlotte, started running track and cross country when he was 12 and stuck with those sports through high school. He moved to Raleigh to attend

“The people who supply these services are our friends, and we like to expose our customers to other local businesses in the community,” Francese said.

They even team up with other running stores from time to time and explore how they can lift each other up and grow together.

“All of this builds good will,” Francese said.

Last Fourth of July, Runologie sponsored a new four-mile race dubbed “Keep Raleigh Independent.” It took place on the former campus of Dorothea Dix Hospital, which is slated to become a city park and is becoming a popular running course for shorter races. The store teamed up with Healing Transitions, also located on the Dix campus, which is a residential treatment center for men suffering from addiction. The store also partnered with Justin Garrity, a former Healing Transitions resident who is in recovery, studying for a Master’s degree at N.C. State University and employed at the facility. Garrity, who has started a run club there, recruited volunteers from Healing Transitions to volunteer as course monitors and hand out water.

Runologie also recruited elite runners to represent different neighborhoods around Greater Raleigh and announced them one by one before the race started, adding a uniquely cool, local vibe to the event. After the race, runners trouped across the street to a swinging Fourth of July party at Trophy Brewing Company, which the Meekers also own.

This fall, Trophy Brewing will sponsor an inaugural “Trophy Trot” 10K on Thanksgiving Day. Since its opening three years ago, Runologie has held events such as an open house for local runners who qualified for the United States Olympic Trials, a “Run with Meb” night when Meb Keflezighi was in town promoting Skechers shoes, and a special reception for a new event in Raleigh that’s gaining traction – The Sir Walter Miler, a mile-race showcasing male runners’ attempts to break a 4-minute mile and female runners’ attempts to break 4:30.

The store hosts watch parties for local parades, and any type of activity the owners can dream up to bring the community together.

Above all, Runologie supports runners – especially the talented amateur runners who are working hard to reach their dreams and fuel their passions.

“People don’t know how hard it is to be

N.C. State University, graduating with a degree in architecture and design, became hooked on Raleigh and stayed. The 2008 recession took a toll on his career as a designer, but sometimes great things are born out of necessity and Francese migrated into the world of the running retail business. He worked for Fleet Feet and even designed a couple of their stores before joining the team at Runologie in 2015.

A decade ago, Raleigh was home to four or five independent, locally-owned running stores. But over time, the owners sold them to retail chains, leaving Runologie as the lone independent.

On a Monday morning workday, the store is open, but it’s empty. Located on a shady street, about a mile from the N.C. State University campus and a few blocks from Raleigh’s Capitol building, its spacious showroom displays a variety of running apparel, shoes, accessories, books, and even a tote bag specially designed for Runologie by local designer Holly Aiken. The bag, which comes in a variety of colors, features a runner girl silhouette cutout on the front.

The owners are looking to develop an exclusive line of men’s running shorts and, staying true to their mission to keep their work local, are working with Eagle Sports, a small manufacturing plant in eastern North Carolina that specializes in making sports clothing.

Runologie is a welcoming space, where anyone can walk in, sit down, do a little work, watch television, drink a free beer (or a mimosa on weekends) and just hang out, which is a popular option. Especially when beer is involved.

Francese estimates on a good day, he’ll see around 100 people come in and out of the store. On Thursdays, the store hosts its group runs, many of them themed. They also invite physical therapists to make presentations and give advice, massage therapists to provide services, and other professionals.

It’s part of Runologie’s strategy to build vital connections within Raleigh’s running community and neighbors.

Running Through the Bluegrass Run Gum's Nick Symmonds' Last Pro Race a Marathon We all have running goals we want to achieve - running a specific race, hitting a certain time, racing in every state, grabbing that Boston qualifier, or maybe running a distance you never thought possible.

Nick Symmonds, 800-meter specialist and two-time Olympian, is no different.

“You know, I was looking down at the running bucket list I had written when I was a kid,” Symmonds said. "I've done everything I wanted to do - break 4 minutes in the mile, make the Olympic team except run a marathon."

He will give 26.2 a go December 10 at the Honolulu Marathon in his final race as a professional runner.

In January, he announced that 2017 would be his last competitive running season. After missing the 2016 Olympic Trials due to injury, he was eyeing the 2017 World Championships as his last chance to represent the USA. He knew making the team was a long shot, but he wanted one more chance to leave it all out on the track.

He failed to advance out of the prelims at the national championships, finishing seventh in his heat in a time 8.57 seconds slower than his personal best.

But by all accounts, Symmonds, now 33 years old, had a longer pro running career than anyone would've anticipated including himself. Symmonds ran NCAA Division III track for Willamette

By Tracy Green

University, where he won seven individual NCAA DIII titles. He chose Willamette over other schools that offered athletic scholarships and majored in biochemistry.

“I never planned on being a pro runner,” Symmonds said. He signed his first contract with Nike, later moving to Brooks, but never thought of running as his career.

Now he's transitioning from pro runner to professional, dedicating more time to his company RunGum, an energy chewing gum.

So how does a recently retired elite middle-distance runner train for a marathon while running a rapidly-growing company?

Easy: he takes weekends off. From work - and from working out.

Symmonds trains Monday through Friday, single sessions only. He does intervals on Tuesdays and goes long on Fridays. Six weeks into his training for

Honolulu, he's at 45 miles a week.

He's a morning runner, preferring to go before work, using the quiet time to plan out his day before heading to the RunGum office. He trains solo, as he has for the past few years.

Training for a marathon doesn't look a lot different, he said, but the community does.

“Marathoners are very positive people, very supportive,” he said. “Track and field is very competitive, very negative. If you're having success, that means you're taking away from somewhere else.”

He's set himself a goal of 3 hours, which he thinks is “appropriate and realistic,” but also says it's a 50-50 shot since there are so many variables to the marathon.

“But I want to make sure I have fun, that it's not a death march,” he said.

“Being prepared will definitely make that easier.”

He's run 70 mile weeks in the past, but had never run more than 13 miles until Labor Day weekend.

Symmonds is also maintaining his strength training regimen, slightly changing his weight-lifting routine to use less weight for more reps.

Since taking over as RunGum CEO shortly after not making the Olympic team, Symmonds spends much of his time focused on the business. As an elite track athlete, his job was running. Now? “I'm training for this like an average guy who works a 9-5 job,” he said. "I get the miles in when I can.” In fact, his trip to Hawaii will be part work, part run, part fun - in that order.

RunGum is a race sponsor, and Symmonds will be at the expo for photo ops at the RunGum booth and speaking on several panels.

Many of the RunGum staff will be there to work, and they're bringing their families. Everyone plans to stick around after the race and enjoy Honolulu.

It'll be a chance to celebrate the company's success.

“We're doing phenomenally well,” Symmonds said. “And I'm not saying that just as the chief evangelical.”

RunGum turns 3-years-old in October; Symmonds describes 2017 as a “rapid growth phase,” focused on building out staff so they'd be ready to scale up. He now has a team of 10.

“I remember when I was running professionally, I was so happy I wasn't working a 9-5 job,” he said. “But now I love the structure of it, and I love having my week-

ends back.”

Founded by Symmonds and coach Sam Lapray, they made RunGum because it was a product that Symmonds wanted to use himself. It provided the perks of an energy drink, but without worry of GI distress. Symmonds said he'd find himself wanting the pick-me-up effects, but wasn't thirsty and didn't want the calories or sugar in an energy drink.

Initially well-received amongst other elites, the big question for RunGum was if non-elites would want to use it.

According to Symmonds, they do.

RunGum is now distributed in all 50 states and through a half-dozen e-tailer sites.

You can think of RunGum as dehydrated RedBull. It has caffeine, B vitamins, and Taurine, and the ingredients are absorbed more quickly through chewing gum (they're absorbed sublingually) than by drinking.

Despite the name, Symmonds said he hears testimony from people using RunGum in varied situations, like paramedics turning to it for a mid-shift boost.

“You know, runners think of the name as meaning literally running, putting one foot in front of the other,” he said. “But other people interpret it differently.

Fishermen think about salmon running the river. Mechanics think of an engine running. Running errands, running into meetings … it's about running the day and not letting the day run you.”

With his team now in place, Symmonds is excited about 2018.

“We've got more flavors, different product lines - I think people will be impressed,” he said.

In the meantime, he's got a marathon to train for.

Distance Memories Sweat: Many Kinds and Circumstances Someone told me a long time ago that pure perspiration-the kind generated by pounding out 10 miles on the asphalt on a hot summer afternoon-has no odor once it dries. Old wives' tale? Maybe, maybe not; just remember I'm talking about the sweat that ultimately dries on your body, not the sweat that absorbs and then dries in your clothes.

I had a friend that would pin his sweaty shorts and singlet on a shower curtain rod to put this theory to the test. Not only did his running ensemble stink to high heaven the next day, it was also stiff as a board.

Rigor snortis, you might say.

Now let's return to the concept of pure, unadulterated exercise-induced sweat.

Thinking back to the days I ran hard enough to generate any, I don't recall any particular scent at the end of my run. So maybe there is something to that old wives' tale after all. Try it at home and see.

However, from personal experience I can tell you there are several types of sweat that most definitely have a distinct and noticeable fragrance: • Anxious sweat. Sitting in a barber chair and noticing a lot more clippings falling on the floor around you than you had hoped to see. Anticipating how much the service manager is about to tell you it will cost to fix your car. Wondering if the doctor examining you is about to reach for his stethoscope … or his needle. On the odorometer scale of one to ten, this one comes in at about a four.

• Nervous sweat. Driving down the road and noticing a flashing blue light in the rear view mirror. Taking your seat in class and finding out the algebra mid-term you thought was tomorrow is actually today.

Your wife noticing that one of your friends on social media just so happens to be a girl you dated a couple of times back in high school. This one works out to be a solid six (and in extreme cases a seven or perhaps an eight).

• Oh-my-God-I'm-going-to-die sweat.

Riding a glass elevator on the outside of a 40-story building to the penthouse when your fear of heights already gives you the heebie-jeebies when you climb to the top of a 10-foot ladder. Riding in a car with a student driver who makes Mister Magoo look like a Formula 1 driver. Coming across a snake in the woods and having no earthly idea if it is one you can pick up to impress your friends or one that will bite you on the ankle and slither away as its poisonous venom courses through your veins. This type of sweat always grades out as a 10, and I guarantee it will be easy to discern.

Allow me to present a few personal run-

By Scott Ludwig

ning experiences as evidence I know what I'm talking about. Many of you know I'm not much of a trail runner, although I have been known to try one on for size now and again. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that the examples I am about to present all took place on trails, a surface meant for beast but certainly not (this) man: • Anxious sweat. Some people can run on trails effortlessly, as if they have been doing it since the day they were born. I am not one of them. When I used to run on trails I always had both eyes locked firmly on the ground, inspecting where my feet were going to land next. I didn't want to run the risk of twisting my ankle on a rock, tripping over the root of a tree or getting mauled by a bear. I will admit to falling several (too many to possibly count) times but fortunately none of the falls were fatal.

That's not to say the falls didn't hurtbecause they most definitely did; it's just to say I would still break out in a cold sweat if I were to find myself running on a trail ever again (I won't). The lasting memory of tripping while running on a trail in California, fighting desperately to maintain my balance and grabbing onto a tree to prevent me from falling off the side of a cliff is all I need to remind me. Let me add this: There was a short but ever-so-sharp broken branch protruding from the tree that I impaled the palm of my right hand on as I tried to grab onto it. The good news: I didn't fall off the side of the cliff. The bad news: My blood was about a pint low afterwards. Comparable odors generated via anxious perspiration: Dog breath, cat urine, cigarette smoke.

• Nervous sweat. When running on trails it is commonplace to follow a path marked by ribbons hanging from branches, posts, etc. placed intermittently along the course.

During one particular trail race I didn't see a ribbon for many, many miles. I decided I had somehow gotten off course, which was totally understandable because I've never been particularly good at paying attention and besides, it's hard to notice ribbons hanging on branches when your eyes are fixated on the ground. Which leads me to my next problem: Since I wasn't paying

attention I had no idea how to backtrack and return to the spot where I became separated from the correct route. It would have been a good time to use the flare gun the race director failed to provide. So instead I wandered aimlessly until a teenager on a mountain bike stopped and asked if I was OK and why wasn't I 'with all the other runners over that-away' (while pointing that-away) which ultimately saved my life because I found my way back and turned a 50-kilometer race into 60-kilometers. I was sweating pretty good, but I knew that eventually I would be rescued in some way, shape or form … even if it meant running an extra 10-kilometers. It could have been much, much worse had the cyclist not come along. But then again I was in pretty good shape at the time and even if it meant running an extra 50-kilometers I would have still finished before sundown. (Note: This particular experience would score much higher on the odorometer if it happened today. Then again I know better than to run on trails now so the chances of it happening again are one in fuggedaboutit.)

Comparable odors generated via nervous perspiration: Skunk, rotten eggs, foot odor.

• Oh-my-God-I'm-going-to-die sweat.

This particular experience didn't happen on a trail; rather in what was at the end of a trail. It was more than 10 years ago early in the morning on the day after Christmas in Chesapeake, Virginia on a run from my parent's house. I was five miles out when suddenly I was in dire need of a restroom.

I glanced to my right and saw a trail that led to a gas station and as we all know where there is a gas station there is a restroom. To my surprise and delight I opened the door to the men's room and not only was it clean and warm (it was 20 degrees outside and the wind was howling), there was also soap, paper towels, running water and a sparkling white toilet. It was a true Christmas miracle. I took care of what I came to do and as I was about to leave I found that somehow I had locked myself inside the men's room. With the lyrics 'you can check out any time you like but you can never leave' in my head I started to panic. It was 6 a.m. the morning after Christmas inside a men's restroom at the end of a remote trail with not a soul in sight; screaming was futile since the wind was drowning them out. To make matters worse, no one at my parent's house had any idea of the route I was running; I doubt they were even awake yet. Questions swirled around inside my head: Would I be here for a couple of days until after the Christmas and New Year holidays were over? Can I survive on tap water that long?

Could I possibly remove the grate from the

ventilation system and make my way through the air ducts to freedom? Was there enough toilet paper to last? Was I going to have a panic attack that could possibly evolve into cardiac arrest? So many questions, and no smart phone to answer any of them for me (which, now that I think about it, had I had one at the time it could have been used to place a call for help!). As I broke into a cold sweat I started violently kicking Ju-Jitsu style at the door handle and then the darndest thing happened: The door popped open! I was free! Drenched in sweat, five miles from home and close to freezing my tail off as I started running back … but FREE, and a little bit embarrassed. The nightmare-all seven or eight minutes of it - was over and I would live to tell about it , so I can tell you this: If you're not comfortable running on trails - and I DO KNOW what I'm talking about - watch your step.

Comparable odors generated via OMGIGTD perspiration: Roadkill, vomit, New York City.

I no longer run trails, and I no longer get lost or bloody on my runs.

And I smell a whole lot better.

EAT WELL, RUN WELL

Why Am I Not Getting Leaner…?

“I religiously track my food and exercise. I’m eating 1,300 calories (the number my tracker told me to eat if I want to lose 2 pounds a week). I’ve been following a strict diet and the scale hasn’t budged. My friends tell me I am eating too little. I think I must be eating too much because I am not losing weight. I feel so confused… What am I doing wrong?”

I often hear this complaint from weight conscious runners who don’t know if they are eating too much or too little. They believe fat loss is mathematical. Running 500 calories more, or eating 500 calories less, per day will result in losing 1 pound (3,500 calories) of fat per week, correct? Not always. Weight reduction is not as mathematical as we would like it to be.

Is it a diet or a famine?

If you are already running like crazy and are eating far less than you deserve – but the scale doesn’t budge – you might wonder if something is wrong with your metabolism? Are you eating the wrong kinds of foods? What’s going on…?

When runners have excess body fat to lose, they tend to lose it relatively easily. But when they get close to their race- and/or dream-weight, fat loss can slow to a crawl. That’s when frustration sets in. You might think reducing your calorie intake even more would be a good idea. No. You would deprive your body of too many valuable nutrients, to say nothing of lack energy to run well.

When you significantly restrict calories, your brain perceives the lack of food as a famine. Doing extra exercise makes the situation worse, especially when your body is at a low weight. With no excess fat to lose, your body conserves energy and maintains weight at a calorie intake that historically would have resulted in fat loss.

Nature protects the body from losing weight during a (perceived) famine by slowing your calorie-burn: The heart rate slows (not due to fitness but rather to lack of fuel). Blood flow to extremities slows in order to keep your organs warm. Your hands and feet feel cold all the time. The stomach/intestinal tract slows; constipation can become an issue. The hormonal system reverts to pre-adolescence. Women produce less estrogen and stop having regular menstrual periods. Men produce less testosterone. You feel excessively tired. You can muster up energy to run, but then are droopy the rest of the day. Fatigue becomes your middle name.

Role of genetics When a runner complains about lack of fat-loss despite rigid food restriction, one of my first questions is “How do you look compared to others in your genetic family? Are you leaner – or far leaner – than they are? The standard response is far leaner.

Remember, the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree. Nature’s blueprint for your body might differ from your dream physique.

Pay attention to what others say about your body. If your mom or partner says you are too thin, listen up and stop striving to be leaner yet. Rather than struggle to lose those last few pounds, gently accept your physique and be grateful for what your body does for you. It is strong, healthy, powerful, and able to do what you ask it to do (run a marathon, raise a family, train for and complete an Ironman, etc.). It is a resilient vehicle that carries you through each day. It’s good enough. Hopefully, you will not have to experience a broken leg or be diagnosed with cancer before you learn to be grateful for your body and how it allows you to walk, run, and live an active lifestyle – regardless of your size or shape.

Eat more, get fat?

You can stop the diet/famine by eating more; you will not instantly get fat. Rather, your metabolism will quickly return to normal. If your body is too thin, it will strive to restore itself to a genetic weight. This is why runners can have a hard time staying at their “racing weights.” Being too thin is very hard to maintain.

If you believe you still have excess flab to lose, yet the scale doesn’t budge despite your strict diet, what can you do? I generally recommend eating more and exercising less. To the shock of many of my calorie-deprived clients, this tends to work better than exercising more and eating less. Sounds counter-intuitive. How can

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

that be true?

Think of your body as being a campfire. When it has three logs to burn, it generates a lot of heat. When it has just one log, it produces just a small flame. The same with your body, the more fuel it has, the bigger the flame and the more calories you will burn.

While adding calories, focus on the benefits: how much better you feel, the power in your workouts, your happier mood, and better quality of life. If you don’t trust your body and are fearful that eating more will end up with your regaining the weight you worked so hard to lose, get help. A sports dietitian can guide you through this process. Use the referral network at SCANdpg.org to find your local expert.

Are fitness trackers helpful?

Fitness trackers offer information that is interesting but not precise. Something strapped on your wrist can sort of measure what your legs are doing, but many variables impact accuracy. For example, pushing a baby jogger with straight arms gives a different step count than if you were to run with freely swinging arms. (1) As for energy expenditure, note that some of the calories reported as being burned during your workout include calories you would have burned in that hour regardless of exercise. Knowing calories burned can be dangerous… “Oh, I just burned 500 calories, so now I deserve to eat ice cream!!!” Tracking might not enhance fat loss. (2) Your body is your best calorie counter. Instead of tracking calories to determine if you have eaten the correct amount, try listening to your body. Before you eat, ask yourself, Am I eating because my body needs fuel—or because I am bored, lonely, or stressed? …

Am I stopping eating because I am satisfied? Or just because I think I should? By eating mindfully, you will not over-eat nor under-eat. You’ll simply relearn skills from childhood, when you ate when you were hungry, stopped when you were content, maintained a good weight, and never ran out of energy. Life is better when you are free from being in food-jail.

Learning from the Young Guns CELEBRATE 20 YEARS RUNNING

Perfecting the Marathon Taper At the Chicago Marathon on Oct. 8, Joan Benoit Samuelson will attempt to break 3 hours at the age of 60, something no woman has ever done. It would be another amazing feat from the woman who has had a career full of amazing feats, most notably storming to the front 2 miles into the 1984 Olympic Marathon in Los Angeles and never looking back. She will forever be the first women's gold medalist in Olympic marathon history, but it's amazing how close she came to never making it to the start line. A mere 17 days before the Olympic Trials, a window where most athletes would begin their taper, Joan Benoit had to undergo arthroscopic surgery on an injured knee.

Incredibly, she returned to running just a few days after the surgery, toed the line at the Olympic Trials, and won the race.

The conditions of Joan Benoit's taper were extreme, but illustrates that the marathon taper can take many paths. And while there is concrete purpose behind the taper, especially when it comes to the marathon, the taper phase of training is as much art as it is science. Highly trained athletes like Joan Benoit can typically afford to taper a bit less than the rest of us due to their unusual tolerance and acclimation to high training loads. For example, just 4 days before the Olympic Trials Joan, ran a 17-mile long run to test her knee, a run that would be enough to tank most people's race.

Assuming the marathon buildup has gone well, I would recommend viewing the final 3 weeks as a taper phase. The last big 20 + mile long run should be scheduled 3 weeks out from race day, with the exception being a situation like Joan Benoit's where you've missed some time and haven't got in the necessary number of long runs before the race. (Although the only reason you should attempt to run a marathon 17 days after surgery is to make the Olympic team). In that case the taper should be shorter with an 18-20 mile long run two weeks out from race day.

The overall mileage two weeks out from race week should be 10-20% less than the previous week, and most of that should come by shortening the long run two weeks out. The primary focus of this week is recovering properly from the big long run the weekend prior. This is a good week to skip your weekly workout and just run, or to do a very light one. A common workout I prescribe that week is 6-10 x 200-meter repeats at 5K pace with a 200-meter jog between each of them. This

By Ryan Warrenburg, ZAP Fitness

isn't an overly taxing workout; the goal is to stretch the legs out a bit and turnover a little in the middle of the week with out stressing the body coming off the big long run. The long run that week, two weeks out, should be no more than 2 hours in duration.

In addition to resting tired muscles, the science portion of the marathon taper is about maximizing your muscle glycogen stores. Your body can store a finite amount of glycogen in the muscles and you want all of it available on race day.

Those stores should be full most of the time, but during marathon training they often get depleted and part of the taper is ensuring they are replenished. As we get within two weeks of the race this restoration and recovery takes high priority.

The week before the race is your last chance to get in a harder workout that will boost your fitness. If you are a seasoned marathoner the middle of this week, 1012 days out from the race, is a good opportunity to include an interval workout. Otherwise a tempo effort fits perfectly and will give you one last hard effort before the race. The overall weekly volume should be 15-25% less than the previous week and the “long run” one week out should be no more than 70-80 minutes in length. Including some short, quicker running at the end of the long run, such as 8 x 30 seconds at 10k pace with 2 minutes and 30 seconds easy running between each, is a nice way to finish with a little bit of pep in your step.

It's important to remember you can't gain any more fitness the week of the race, so when in doubt, err on the side of rest and recovery. It's also important to stick with your typical weekly routine, especially if training is going well. If you're feeling fatigued this week pull back a bit more, but otherwise your mileage during the week (not including the marathon) should be 10-20% less than

Down the Road The Best World Championship 10K Ever Did you watch the World Championship 10K on August 4? If you didn't, you missed something extraordinary. You had to see it live (even if on TV as Kathy and I did) to really get the building feel of excitement as the magnitude of the race seemed to build. If you just saw the local news sports coverage or even the Network weekend show - hope you only wanted the winners times locally or the final couple of laps nationally - you might assume it was like the typical championship track race. It wasn't.

Most 10K track races are, as one commentator put it, a 5K warmup, sometimes extending to 7 or 8K, followed by a short kicking contest to determine the winners.

This wasn't one of those.

I remember seeing plenty of 10Ks on the track where the first lap goes out in about 69 to 72 seconds and the pack stays together until the 'real racing' begins in the final few laps. No wonder the TV broadcasts sometimes show only the first lap or two and then the final few laps.

This year's World Championship was different. Mo Farah of Great Britain has won consecutive Olympic, and World Championship medals, sometimes running

at the back of the pack until the final few laps, then kicking to a win. The TV announcers said that Farah's P.R was 26:46 (ERROR ALERT - He won the 2012 Olympic gold medal in 26:30.42) and that he has proven he has a superior kick. They said kickers like to believe they can outkick anybody, but all the other kickers have found out that he somehow outkicks them.

They asked how you beat a great kicker, and laid out what they thought. You make them run faster throughout the race than they like to, and throw in surges and fast laps then slow down then surge again, and again and again. Then they said they thought

it would end up as usual, with a modest pace and someone trying to outkick Mo near the end.

But thank goodness, they were wrong.

That wasn't what happened. From the starting gun, the race began. The first lap went down in 61.01.02. I'm not great at metric to mile math conversion but that comes out to about a 4:05 mile pace IN A 10K. Wouldn't that give us about a 25:28 finish time? Way too fast to start out. They got to the second lap in 2:05.96 with Farah in about 10th place and the field starting to stretch out already.

No pack with everyone bunched up together like in most of these type races. At 3:40 into the race, the dreaded “Let's cut to the field events” was uttered and we didn't come back until 5:40 in the race. This made sure there was no way to see or know what the first mile split was, but I'm sure it wasn't 4:05.

You could see a long single file row of runners which is one way you can tell a race is being run, not your usual tactical (read that boring) Jog-A-Long (though it wouldn't be a jog for most any of us). Farah looked to be in 8th place. Then we quickly went to the inevitable commercials and returned to talking heads. It was great (yeah right) to listen to them talk about Premier League Soccer instead of showing the race.

They finally back came with the clock showing 9:20 into the race. Farah was in about 15th place. No mention of the 2 mile split time. At 10:44 Farah moved into the lead. He held it a few seconds before one of the Kenyans took the lead. The commentator said that Mo had made his move after they had slowed from a 61, then a 62, then a 65, then a 66 second lap. At 12 minutes into the race we were switched to pole vault coverage. Then back to the race. They hit 4800 meters in 13:03.13 with 3 Kenyans running a 63 second lap and Farah drifting back into 11th place.

The leaders crossed the 5K mark in 14:04.82. At this point the string of runners broke into 2 groups with the front 15 runners including all the really fast runners. At 6,000 meters the clock said 16:17.42 and the announcer said “We will have the conclusion of the men's 10,000 meters when we return.” And they returned with 19:57 on the clock. You could see the Kenyans leading with a Moroccan and then Mo in 6th place of the 14 in the lead group.

The commentator said “This had been a great race. They have been like boxers out there, working over the body of Mo Farah.

Going from laps of 66 to 62 to 67 then picking it up again. This is a race that will almost certainly go under 27 minutes, outstanding racing in a championship. The first group is taking turns taking the lead. Every time Mo moves to the front someone else moves to the front ahead of him.” Then they ran a cou-

ple of 63 second laps and the talking heads pointed out that Mo was covering every move.

At 22:40 into the race Mo took the lead with 4 laps to go. He was passed by 19 year old Ethiopian Jemal Mekonen Yimer and a couple of Kenyans. They pointed out that Mo was 34 years old. With 22:48 on the clock Mo was in 5th place. I was surprised to see an American uniform hanging on at the back of the lead pack of 9 runners. The commentators did not point this out nor mention who he was.

With 2 laps to go the clock showed 24:51.94. Farah surged ahead and held the lead. Bell lap came at 25:53.83. Farah led.

Tanui of Kenya pulled up on his shoulder, Farah pushed ahead and Tanui came back.

At 26:26 Farah started his kick and pulled away with 10 meters to go to win in 26:49.53 as the commenters say this is just a few seconds off his P.R. (what about the 26:30.42 in the Olympics?) The hometown British crowd went wild (as they should have since their man won). The talking heads then said Farah missed the Championship record by a few seconds (without telling us what that record is).

There was no mention of who took the Silver or Bronze medal as they kept the camera exclusively on Farah and his celebration which included bringing his entire family onto the track.

Finally the network flashed the names and times of the top 9 finishers and we found out who won the Silver and Bronze - Kipriu of Uganda and Tnaui of Kenya. The 9th place finishers name caught my eye since he was an American, Shadrack Kipchirchir. They pointed out that he ran a P.R. 27:07.55 and became the 3rd fastest American ever on the track. If his name rings a bell, he won this year's Cooper River Bridge Run 10K in Charleston, and I watched him outkick a good field to win in 28:12. Then at this year's Peachtree 10K he was outkicked in the final meters to take second place in 28:17.

This championship was a wonderful race to watch. I hope you saw it live, it was special. It was a great, great competition, every runner who was there deserves praise for their fantastic efforts.

In case you missed it, here are the top 10 of the 22 finishers: 1 Mohamed Farah, England 26:49; Joshua Cheptegi Kiprui, Uganda 26:49.94; 3 Paul Kipnegetich Tanui, Kenya 26:50.60; 4 Bedan Karoki Muchiri, Kenya 26:52.12; 5 Jemal Mekonen Yimer, Ethiopia 26:56.11; 6 Geoffrey Kipsang Kamworor, Kenya; 7 Abadi Hadis, Ethiopia 26:59.19; 8 Mohammed Ahmed, Canada 27:02.35; 9 Shadrack Kipchirchir, USA 27:07.55; 10 Andamlak Belihu, Ethiopia 27:08.94.

Ultra Running Maybe I Should Be A Race Director I am thinking of taking up race directing, not as an occasional foray into putting on an event there is a need for, but as an occupation.

I have observed the conversations about the costs to enter ultras. These costs, of course, are frequently varied due to facilities costs, as well as the expenses for support, permits, and other factors. A cost that I had never considered was a salary or stipend for the race director.

For many years ultras were hosted by runners, or running clubs with an interest in ultras (this was true of all running events for many years). After a while races were used as fundraisers for very worthy causes, and many still are. Over a period of time, primarily in marathons, it seems, came the "big" marathon with swag, amenities...and increased costs. For some major marathons this was easily understandable. Without naming groups, they arose, and owned races, and some races were even sold. Then came the issues at the Portland Marathon.

Many of the races through the years

By Ray Krolewicz

have been established as non-profit groups, and have done a great deal of good even as they frequently hired and paid essential staff. It seems Portland may have come in violation of some of the rules concerning non-profits, and is under investigation. While some ultras establish themselves as non-profits, many more in fact are for profit, and essentially as small businesses. Several friends, former competitors and aficionados of the sport have become race directors, some even conducting several races. For the most part they do good work for the ultra communi-

ty. There is obviously a need and that need is being filled, and will be supported as long as value is offered for the cost.

So, I am thinking of becoming a race director. I have been a teacher for many years (42) and "retired" for 12 years, but I return to the classroom each year. I am already doing some coaching, so putting on ultras seems the next step. I envision a series, perhaps 50K, 50 mile, 100K and 100 mile, one race each quarter. Perhaps even a point series. The potential is endless.

The only hesitation I have is that there may already be too many ultras. The RD ship may have passed. When I began running ultras travel far afield was necessary to find and compete in quality races. The sport has grown tremendously, but it appears the number of events has surpassed that growth. There were weekends in the early days (pre 1990) that there were no ultras to run. At this point I believe there is an ultra to run somewhere every weekend, with most weekends showing multiple ultras on the calendar.

Any race held anywhere will draw competitors. The well-organized races that take care of the runners best grow and survive. Others have come and gone.

Some have gone through a series of race directors. When the professional race directors began offering multiple events each year there were good and bad reviews. Most have progressed to meet runners' needs. A runner, who once complained about the cost and problems with a couple of races, stated that even with the higher entry fees, and problems the races were close to home, thus money was saved on travel, and "All races could have problems."

Proximity is a positive. There are enough ultra runners in any locale to support most races at least modestly. A variety of races in a regional area would have the best chance of survival, and profit for the professional race director. There are so many aspects to consider.

I shall ponder a while longer, but first I have to look at the ultra calendar and see what races I want to run.

Women’s Running Tips For A Faster Marathon Or Half Marathon As we leave the dog days of summer, and begin preparing for a late fall/winter marathon or half marathon, it might be a good idea this fall to add a little speed to your training runs. After all, you want to be at your best at a race that takes so much preparation.

Whether it is the mile or the marathon, you will run faster if you get stronger. The stronger you are, the easier it is to work at a given sub-maximum level of stress loading.

Marathoning is all about running sub-maximally for a very long period. The faster this sub-maximum pace is, the quicker is your finish.

Good milers spend lots of time in the weight room hoping to put on some muscle, and as a result to get stronger, so that super fast intervals will seem easier and the risk of injury will decrease. Milers have plenty of fast twitch and slow twitch muscles, and much of their training is devoted to a near maximum level effort to strengthen all of their muscle fibers. When they race every muscle fiber is used to the maximum as well, as that is the name of their game and they run very quickly.

In a real sense marathoners are not much different, at least in principle. After all, we are all runners. It is true that most marathoners do not spend hours in the weight room (although I must say that Jordan Hasay's

weight training regimen and its frequency and intensity may have a bit to do with her incredible marathon debut). But the average marathoner does not particularly need increased muscle mass. And with a marathoner's specialization with a higher percentage of slow twitch muscle cells muscle means that they will not put on much, if any, muscle anyway.

But simply training lots of miles slowly, means that you are left sadly with the ability to only race slowly. You get what you train for and slow training means that slow twitch muscle cells get well trained and your fast twitch muscle cells go unchallenged. On the average, even fairly good marathoners have at least 20 to 30 percent, and often 40 to 50 percent of their leg muscle mass in the form of fast twitch muscle cells. These fast twitch

muscle cells do not get activated until at least your marathon race pace intensity of training. So not to train at faster paces means giving short shrift to the development of a sizable number of muscle cells that could be helpful in performance enhancement.

So, the secret of quickening half marathon and full marathon race times is to include two faster sessions a week in your training. One workout is race pace training.

Do a warm up, then run a 20- minute run at race pace, then an easy mile, then 15 minutes at race pace, then a cool down. Even this minimal stimulus keeps those fast twitch fibers actively trained to assist on race day. When I was doing hard training for the marathon, I would gradually increase my race pace training until three weeks out from my marathon, I could do three sets of 20 minutes at predicted marathon pace with 10 minutes jogging between each set. You certainly do not have to go to that extreme but it really is a challenge and makes a difference.

There are, of course, those obsessive runners who, if one aspirin will stop a headache in 20 minutes, will take 20 to stop it in 60 seconds. Although this is an over-exaggeration, as the bumper sticker in the 60 when drugs were in vogue said "speed kills." Too much of a good thing can be nasty and lead

Try a free flow fartlek session of accelerations to the next telephone pole, then rest and recovery to the next telephone pole and repeat as long as you are comfortable. Or do 30 seconds fast and 30 slow for 30 minutes Or, for those who prefer much more organization, try a series of eight in and out miles (four of each), one being 10 seconds faster than your race pace and the next being 10 seconds slower. This will give you a wonderful sense of achievement and you can proceed to a massage, lots of water and a great meal. After you have gotten the adaptation of three such sessions in a sixweek period you will be tougher than nails and your mental strength will have increased also.

Endurance will get you to the finish line but adding a little speed will get you there faster. If you do not prefer any of the above sessions, get creative and make your own. If you know your body , you will soon figure out what challenges you and what will work.

As an aside, stay off the track. You are preparing for a long race, and as Joanie Samuelson stated as she prepares at age 60 to break three hours at the Chicago Marathon, “I have not been on the track in years as my body does not like all the turns.”

Her solution is to "race cars" on the road. So whatever works for you, try some speed.

After the Run 8 Hours of Hell Felt Swell '8 Hours of Hell.' With a race name like that, who wouldn't be beating down the doors of the elusive registration hub, and securing a spot in one or more hellish 8hour ultramarathons? Add to the race name, a race description that lets prospective endurance runners know that they will be running during the hottest part of the day, at the hottest time of year, in the sunshine state, and you're sure to have a sold out event, right? The answer is, 'possibly.'

For the past three years, Race Director, Justin Radley has organized and directed a series of five 8-hour ultramarathon races that concludes with an 8-hour Championship - and he has attracted a loyal following of hardcore endurance athletes. Each event takes place along a trail in a different Florida Park. Runners participate in as many or as few events as they choose before the top performing series runners are invited to compete in the sixth and final 8-hour Championship run in October.

Before his death, my husband, Phil, thoroughly enjoyed joining Justin and fellow '8 Hours of Hell' runners, and would therefore travel to as many of the series' events as his schedule would allow. Phil enjoyed the relaxed and supportive atmosphere that Justin and his girlfriend, Jill, created at their events. He enjoyed the trails, and he enjoyed the challenge.

Preferring a flat, paved surface, and cooler temperatures, I did not run the '8 Hours of Hell' races with Phil. I DID volunteer at one of the 8-hour events he ran, and I remember being very proud of him each time he rounded the bend and exited the trailhead of Ann Dever Regional Park in Englewood, Florida. As life's coinci-

By Mary Marcia Brown

dences will deem appropriate, the Ann Dever Regional Park was also the last place Phil and I ever ran together.

Two weeks before Phil was killed in March, he and I visited his parents in Englewood. Instead of going to the YMCA for a workout, Phil asked if I wanted to go to Ann Dever Park and run together. The pine straw cushioned our strides and shells cracked beneath our feet as, in harmony, we traveled the trail sideby-side for a five-mile morning run. I have wished to have that morning back more times than I can count.

When the 2017 '8 Hours of Hell' series schedule was released, I saw that the 8hour run at Ann Dever was scheduled for August 19th. In early June, when Justin reached out to me with an invitation to run the ultra, and an offer to reserve the bib number of my choice, I knew I wanted to be there. Going back to the last place I shared a run with Phil would not be easy, but it would be meaningful.

Stamped with the race, date, and number of miles they achieved, Justin mails custom dog tags to each of his runners after every race. Mid-June, seeking inspiration and deciding it was time to train, I pulled out the last dog tag Justin mailed to

The starting area of the August 19th '8 Hours of Hell' at Ann Dever Regional Park,

Phil. It was from October 15th - the 2016 Championship race where Phil ran 36 miles.

I clasped the beaded keychain around my sports bra, and felt the cool medal dog tag, stamped with Phil's miles, on my chest, resting (literally and figuratively) on my heart. I slid on my 'Phil Brown Memorial' rubber bracelet, and I headed out for my first training run.

Both stricken with painful plantar fasciitis, my feet did not have a lot of miles on them. I worked to gradually increase my mileage over the few weeks leading to the August run. Although eleven and a half miles was my longest run over the few training weeks, I felt fairly comfortable approaching race day.

I made the two-hour drive to Englewood the morning of August 19th. I drove Phil's car, and I parked it almost immediately in front of the Trailhead he had run in and out of on so many occasions. I could see him as clearly as the last day we ran together.

My breathing became heavy as, alone, I approached the registration table in the covered picnic area. Justin welcomed me immediately. Then, he handed me my special bib. I had requested number 41 because I knew that if Phil were still living, this race would have been his first ultramarathon as a 41-year old. Not only had Justin reserved bib #41 for me, but he and Jill had placed a beautiful photo in front of the number. It was Phil. He was smiling and running across one of the bridges along the Ann Dever trail.

I cried. I was so grateful for the sweet sentiment, and at the same time, I felt so incredibly hollow inside. My heart hurt and in that moment, I missed Phil more than ever. As I turned to walk back to the car for final pre-race preparations, I moved through a wave of heat and an unexpected weight of guilt. “Why are YOU able to be at this park today and run the race that Phil would have loved to have the opportunity to run?” my mind asked me.

11

I didn't have the answer. I still don't.

However, I continue to search for it every day. I did have the will to summon Phil's spirit, walk to the start line, and prepare to run the day's miles for him. I hooked his dog tag to my bib and it hung right above his picture. I hit the trailhead and heard the crackling shells and sand - a sound made solitarily by my shoes this time on the trail.

The tears came and went as I crossed the bridge Phil was crossing on the photo on my bib, when I spotted the turtle holes Phil would have found, and when I saw the running comrades with whom Phil had previously shared the trails and who were the subjects of several of his postrun stories. As I accumulated miles, salty sweat washed away the salt of my tears, and gratitude began to replace the guilt.

I was so fortunate to have been gifted with any amount of time with Phil on this earth. I was fortunate to have learned from him, loved him, and now have the opportunity to allow his spirit to live on.

I looked down and realized that my body heat had almost completely smeared the image of Phil on my bib. For an initial instant I became upset and then I realized… his energy had melted right into my running legs and it was propelling me to make it through each and every hot and “hellish” mile.

By 4:00, plantar fasciitis was getting loud, and my heels were screaming.

Though all of my other systems wanted two more hours, my feet won and my “eight-hour run” through and around the underworld concluded. In reflection, after the run, at the end of the day, and at the finale of an emotional journey of miles, with the entire experience taken into consideration, I must admit and I am happy to report - 8 Hours of Hell actually felt pretty swell.

LEARNING FROM THE YOUNG GUNS

All You Need Is a Run to Clear Out The Clutter My first week of training for the Disney Marathon coincided with the approach of Hurricane Irma. Thursday's run went well but I skipped Friday's run to focus on hurricane preparations. By Saturday morning I needed the distraction after all the hurricane preparations and hours of watching the coverage on television trying to determine when and where Irma would hit the southwest Florida coast and how bad it would be.

I wasn't sure if I would be able to get in Sunday's long run so I decided to move the long run to Saturday. It was extremely windy but other than that, pretty nice conditions for a run. It was a good move, too, since Sunday morning's winds prevented me from running at all.

Saturday's 75 minute run was at a comfortable pace. I really didn't think about what I was doing and did not look at my Garmin for pace or distance. I knew the length of the loops so I just ran. With no one to talk to and barely anyone out on the route, I was alone with my thoughts. This was one of those incredibly memorable

runs, not for the distance covered or pace run but for the way my mind totally wandered. I got lost in my thoughts and it felt like my body was on auto pilot. I covered the eight miles without much thought of the physical work being done. I literally worked through every project, thought, and problem that I had encountered in the past several weeks. I finished the run feeling like I just conquered my world and figured it all out.

I reflected on the amazing crew of volunteers who had just helped me put on our 25th Annual Canes Cross Country Classic on Labor Day. We received so many posi-

tive comments on how well organized our event was and how smoothly it all went. I am grateful for all the amazing family, friends, team parents, and athletes who pitched in. I started a mental checklist for next year's race.

I also worked through the issues I had with some of the parents of our boys' team.

As a coach (and in general), I never enjoy confrontations and get frustrated when parents think their children should be the exception to the team rules but I dealt with it team wide and then just needed to work through it myself to put it behind me. I reflected on how dedicated and hardworking our girls' team is this year. I am still amazed at the fact that they requested to practice before school two days a week to make sure they could get in quality work on their speed and tempo days before the sun comes up. It is so difficult to run quality workouts at 3 p.m. when the heat index is over 100. I thought about our upcoming trip to Greenville, SC. And really started thinking about this training program I am just beginning; 18 weeks to not just the Disney Marathon but the Dopey Challenge.

When I arrived home from the run, that clarity was then met with final hurricane preparations. Deciding what was important; what “things” would fit in the plastic bin that we would take into our safe room with us and the dog. We did lose power and have lots of debris in our yard but we feel so lucky that it was not as bad as originally forecasted.

Between the run and the hurricane preparations I have now realized that so many of the things we have accumulated over the years are really not that important.

My last run helped me remove a ton of mental clutter. Now I am in full “project mode” as my husband charmingly calls it when I am focused and energized on reducing the amount of physical clutter in our home. That with a full marathon training program and cross country season ahead of me should keep me busy for a while!

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 the previous week. Resting too much if your body is used to training can result in feeling stale come race day. If you generally run 5 or more days a week take an extra rest day this week, but if you run 3-4 days a week stick with that.

In keeping with the rhythm of the week, do some running at marathon pace 4-5 days before the race. For example, run 3 x 1 mile with 3 minutes rest between each, nothing hard, just something to move your legs a little and feel race pace.

Nutritionally, if you typically eat a well balanced diet carbohydrate loading isn't necessary, but adding a few more carbs to your diet the final 3-4 days before the race isn't going to hurt anything. As far as the final two days of training, if you typically run 5 days or more per week then you should plan on doing an easy 2-3 mile shakeout run the day before the race. And if you are flying or driving a long distance to the race be sure to do that run after your travel.

Above all else, when it comes to the last few weeks before the race, trust your training. It's common to over analyze every step of every run during the taper, but agonizing over fabricated problems is not helpful. You may not make the Olympic team 17 days after knee surgery, but perfection is an illusion, and if you've put the training in that will win the day.

Twilight 5K a Shining Example of Hard Work Bringing Success

By Richard Betz, President, Highlands Roadrunners Club HIGHLANDS, NC — The Fifth Annual Twilight 5K took place in Highlands, NC, on August 19, two days before the Solar Eclipse and in perfect weather conditions. The race was founded in 2013 as the Twilight Rock n Roll 5K by the Rotary Club of Highlands as a fundraiser for youth activities in Highlands. It is a shining example of how hard work on the part of many local community volunteers can grow a race and turn it into a premium event.

Derek Taylor, Race Director since its inception, has spent countless hours trying to improve the race each year, and he has had many willing volunteers from the Highlands Roadrunners Club, which has been organizing races on different courses since 1994.

The first Twilight 5-K had 130 runners and raised $8,500, which was used to purchase free weight equipment at the Highlands Civic Center. The next year, participation increased to 250 runners, and $11,000 was raised toward a new running track and softball field at Highlands School. In 2015, participation was up to 300, and over $14,000 was raised for equipment for the Town’s youth swim, the Highlands Hurricanes. Last year’s proceeds went toward completing a skating rink at the Kelsey-Hutchinson Park.

As participation and revenues increased over the years, race organizers decided to have the course USATF certified (NC16004DW). The saying among seasoned runners is that if a course is not certified, it is probably short. Certification also indicates a level of seriousness and commitment to future growth and a desire to attract not just local runners but top runners from Asheville, Atlanta, and surrounding cities. Chip timing was another improvement that made possible instant, accurate results This year’s race attracted 391 finishers and raised $28,000. Race bibs were personalized, and runners turning in their chips immediately received a printout of their finish time, average pace, and place. A special feature this year was an eclipse-themed shirt and free eclipse-viewing glasses. Highlands was in the path of

Close Race Highlights The Peoples Bank Midnight Flight 10K ANDERSON, SC - The 40th annual running of the Midnight Flight 10K was held on August 25 at the Anderson Area YMCA. The popular nighttime event features a three race lineup with a one mile race starting the evening, followed by a 5K and finishing with a 10K.

totality, and many visitors came to Town to view the eclipse at the Park two days after the race.

Other features have grown to include a band playing music after the race on the stage at the Park and plentiful food at the finish line, as well as a free pint of beer from the local Ugly Dog Public House. It is attention to small details like these that race organizers feel makes for a good road race. Most runners have encountered the frustration of delayed or inaccurate results, volunteers sending runners off-course, or not enough food or drink at the finish line. If the race is well-organizers, runners will return and spread the word.

Highlands has been a resort community since its founding in 1875 by Samuel Kelsey and Clinton Hutchinson (thus the name Kelsey-Hutchinson Park) who, legend has it, drew lines on a map from Chicago to Savannah and from New Orleans to New York City. At the point of intersection lies the plateau they named Highlands, 4118 feet above sea level, and soon attracting summer visitors escaping heat and mosquitoes.

Over the years it has become a popular tourist and second-home destination, not only for active lifestyles taking advantage of hiking and golf, but also for some of the finest dining and lodging in the South. It is especially a haven for runners escaping the heat and humidity of the south. With the continuing success of the Twilight 5-K, it is hoped that it will become a premium running destination in the area.

Eli Costa (18:28.49) and Amy Passauer (21:43.89) were overall winners.

Running Journal • October, 2017 Eggleston Dominate at Rock ’n’ Roll Virginia Beach Half Marathon VIRGINIA BEACH – The number one on Jeffrey Eggleston’s race bib at the Rock ‘n’ Roll Virginia Beach Half Marathon on Sept. 2, was symbolic of the place he stood on the podium afterward: the top. The 32-year old blazed the scenic course along the Virginia Beach oceanfront in an incredible 1:05:55. Although warm temps were forecasted for Sunday’s race, the thermometer at the start read in the high 60s, which made for a great day of racing along one of the most appealing race courses in the United States.

Eggleston, who has worn the Team USA singlet at two World Championships, is no stranger to winning Rock and Roll races. The Boulder, Colorado resident has won half marathons in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Phoenix.

He said he was running the Sunday race to prepare for the Chicago Marathon in October.

“I had a pretty uneventful summer and this was actually my first race since the Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego Marathon [in June, where he won]. I had a really busy spring and just took the time to recover this summer,” said Eggleston, who has raced in Virginia Beach three times “It’s really nice to be at sea level, because I had been training at 10,000 feet.”

“I love coming to Virginia,” he said. “It’s where I went to college and it’s always fun to integrate into the community here. It’s just a great Labor Day tradition and it’s a real honor to be here.”

Eggleston said that when he finished the race on the boardwalk, he saw several bottlenose dolphins in the ocean. “That’s the highlight of me coming here,” he said with a smile on his face.

Local standout Will Christian of Norfolk, took second place with an impressive 1:09:24. Third place in the men’s half marathon division was awarded to Andris Goncarovs(1:10:56) of Greensboro, NC. The women’s race also went to the top-seeded runner, Mao Ichiyama, who clocked a 1:13:50. The Japanese runner’s nearest rival was Nicole Aish (1:19:47) of Colorado. Speaking through a translator, Ichiyama summed up her experience at the race in one word: fun. The 20-year-old who runs for the Wacoal team, who ran a personal best in Virginia Beach, went on to say that all the fun, music, and excitement along the course raised her mood and helped her run for the win.

Stephanie Andre, of Oklahoma, placed third in 1:19:53. Andre ran the Labor Day race as an opportunity to visit the beach with her husband and seven-yearold son.

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect this morning,” she said. “I knew it was a fast and flat course and I was going to be running with a lot of women. I was able to hold back in the first few miles and then locked in to a 6:05 pace.”

Andre was happy with her results and said she notched a new PR for the distance.

“This course with its boardwalk finish sure beats running in Oklahoma,” she said. “The crowds were great. There were a lot of spectators and cheerleaders and that helped pick me up.”

A Virginia state half-marathon record was broken today by Betty Brothers, 71 with a time of 1:57:09. The Virginia native broke the previous Masters 40 & Older record of 1:57:24 set in 2013.

An annual Labor Day weekend celebration, the Rock ‘n’ Roll party was going non-stop with a Health and Fitness expo on Friday, 5K and the “Mile in the Sand” held on Saturday. The event is held in conjunction with the American Music Festival, which has provided participants and their families with even more chances to listen to live music while soaking in the sun and playing in the surf.

Taking place in the 5K on Saturday was Virginia Beach’s own mayor, Will Sessoms. “Virginia Beach is the greatest city in the world and one of the reasons is because of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon,” he said.

“The weather is perfect; the scenery is perfect. You can’t have a better place for a race than here.”

Nextd year’s 2018 Rock ‘n’ Roll Virginia Beach Half Marathon will take place on Labor Day weekend, Sept.

RUNNING PSYCHOLOGY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 Running is not the same for you as it was 20 years ago. No matter what you think, your body has aged and your running has changed accordingly. But keep at it as long as you can because running still has a lot to offer. Obviously, adjust your goals. Maybe begin to focus more on the actual process of running and a little less on the results.

Get more in touch with enjoying the actual run than using the run to attain some kind of future goal. Be more in the present with your running and less in the future. Of course those competitive juices may still flow and that's why age group competition becomes paramount. It might be emotionally risky to make performance comparisons with a 19 year old if you are 60. Look at overall performances as gravy.

Above all, don't get frustrated that you can't run as fast as you did when you were 20. Things just take longer now. You're still a runner, just a different runner. Still dedicated, still talented, just more experienced and a bit more like the tortoise than the hare. So you can't run as fast or as much as you used to, but just maybe you can actually do less and enjoy it more! Flush those negative, frustrating thoughts about getting old and getting slow. Just keep at it!
