Just Breathe (and be careful) My wife and I had the opportunity to spend a week in Colorado. The first four days we stayed with our friends Kelly and Joe who have a log cabin on a mountain in Conifer at an elevation of 9,700 feet.

The first night Joe offered me a beer and an accompanying glass of water I was told I would need to offset the effects of drinking a beer for the first time at that elevation.

Initially I laughed to myself because it felt like drinking a beer with training wheels, but in time I realized it was a necessity because for the next 24 hours it felt like my head was wedged inside of a vice.

That was nothing compared to the next morning when Kelly and I went for a run … and my lungs felt like they were on fire! It made me think of what my admin always tells me when things get a bit tense at work: “Just breathe.” In this case, easier said than done because in order to breathe there has to be some oxygen, and at 9,700 feet there isn't a whole lot of it. I believe Kelly and I ran (and walked and gasped) a total of three miles in close to an hour. Yes, we could have probably just walked and finished quicker, seeing as every time we ran we had to stop for a spell to catch our breath.

By the fourth morning I could tell I was getting better acclimated to running at elevation because I was able to complete five ridiculously steep miles in only 65 minutes, a much faster pace than the first three days.

I quickly decided if I could train in the mountains of Colorado for a year I could give the Kenyans a run for their money.

That, and be 30 years younger.

The next four days my wife and I stayed at a lodge in the mountains at Estes Park, near the edge of the Rocky Mountains. As the elevation was 2,200 feet less than in Conifer, running didn't seem to be quite as difficult, which I attribute to having four days of altitude training under my belt.

“Bring it on, Kenyans!” is what I heard my younger 32-year old self saying.

The only major breathing difficulty for the remainder of our trip was during our drive through the Rocky Mountains along the Trail Ridge Road. At times we would be driving at an elevation of 11,500 feet, which would be difficult enough without having to literally drive on the edge of the mountain road with nothing but a painted white line to separate you and an 11,500foot plunge over the side of a mountain!

Although there was a posted speed limit of 20 miles per hour, I doubt I managed to reach double-digits. I found it difficult to drive any faster holding my breath and planting my eyes firmly on the yellow line in the middle of the road, the line that I thought was in my best interest to straddle for 48 miles; I didn't want to take a chance driving over the side of the mountain.

But getting back to the running, I logged close to 100 miles during our eight days in Colorado, saving the toughest mile for last.

By Scott Ludwig

I was just about finished with my run and was less than a quarter-mile from the lodge when I encountered a large bull (a male elk) grazing on the side of the road. As it was bugling season (or mating season, as a nonColoradan would say) I didn't want to take a chance getting anywhere near him. So I stopped dead in my tracks and decided to do my short yoga routine at 7 a.m. in the middle of the road until I could hitch a ride with someone passing by. (I could have returned to the lodge a different way but that would have required running an additional four miles and Cindy and I had something planned so I needed to get back rather quickly.)

Fortunately, I was able to flag down a husband and wife going hiking. They were reluctant to stop at first, but when I said I was from out of town and I wasn't sure if I should run past the bull or not they knew I was out of my element, because they said the bull was indeed dangerous. They then offered me what amounted to be quite possibly the shortest hitchhiked ride in history: 100 yards, just enough to get me on the other side of the bull.

When I returned to work my admin asked me how I enjoyed the trip. I told her it had some ups and downs, but most of all I was just glad to be breathing.

Although it wasn't always easy, I somehow found a way to follow her advice Scott Ludwig is the founder of Darkside Running Club (.com). He lives in the Atlanta area and is the author of 11 books 7 about running - and is working on others.

Scott's book “Running to Extremes: The Legendary Athletes of Ultra Running” is now available. It features stories on Ray Zahab, Dean Karnazes, Larry Macon, Mark Covert, Ed Ettinghausen, Mike Morton, Tim Twietmeyer, Ann Trason and seven other amazing athletes of long distance running.

Inspired Daily Finding the Bright Side after Disappointments The first weekend in October I took my cross country team to the most magical cross country meet on Earth, the Disney XC Classic at ESPN Wide World of Sports. Expectations were high and everyone was excited, including the coaches!

We arrived nice and early, check in was a breeze, but no backpacks.

Disappointment number one.

Many of our athletes ran slower than they hoped. Disappointment number two.

We were not able to take our team to Blizzard Beach water park after the meet.

Disappointment number three.

We had beautiful weather, a skilled DJ/announcer, a great timing company, fun music, food, merchandise, over 100 teams from all over the country, and 19 races over two days. I think normally that would be enough to keep the athletes happy and keep them occupied with all the amazing things going on around them.

But they seemed genuinely disappointed that either New Balance (the title sponsor) or Disney or both decided to discontinue giving every participant a backpack with the meet logo on it. They started giv-

ing out these colorful backpacks a few years ago to the top ten varsity for each team and a string backpack for all the remaining junior varsity athletes. It has become a nice bonus that the kids really look forward to.

I reminded our team that we have our own team backpacks on order but everyone loves Disney and having that backpack was a great memento. Disney did create a custom timing chip with the meet logo on it that the athletes were able to keep as their 2017 memento.

The slower times were the biggest disappointment to overcome. Only one ran

her personal best time, and one other ran her season best time, while the rest ran slower than the previous week and slower than they had hoped. I try to give them the time and space to feel their disappointment then learn from it and move on. I don't make excuses for them but rather have them talk through the race to see what they can do better next time.

The course was pretty soggy from rain the night before, so much so that they had to change the course they used Friday night to a totally new course for the Saturday morning races. The grass was mushy so feet would sink in and trying to take sharp turns quickly resulted in a few runners sliding and falling.

There were 288 girls in our race so to say it was a bit crowded is an understatement. Getting boxed in and having difficulty passing were tough obstacles to overcome on the narrow trails through the woods. Yet we still managed to finish right in the middle, 17th out of 34 teams. Our top runner (who was not real happy with her time) placed 14th out of 288. We chatted about strategy for the next race and by the time we left the meet, everyone's spirits seemed a bit lighter.

Disappointment number three had the best outcome yet it started as a logistical nightmare for me as the one who plans the trip and does all the paperwork to make it happen. It has been our team's tradition since before 2003 to enjoy the afternoon at Blizzard Beach after the meet. Our school district passed a new policy this summer so we are not allowed to take students to water parks anymore. This disappointment was quickly turned around for the team as I was able to schedule a later date for us to enjoy some team bonding at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

No matter how big or small the disappointment, there is always a positive take away whether it is to appreciate what you have, learn something that will help you do better next time, or discover that change can be good and result in something even better!

This Running Life Raleigh Woman Defies MS, Rides First Double Century Sometimes when we set hard goals for ourselves, we post out progress on social media, agonize over every twitch and sore muscle. Monitor our food intake. Cross train, stress out, and ultimately, we just go out and do it.

I completed my first 100-mile bicycle ride - a century - about 10 years ago, in the Multiple Sclerosis Society's Bike MS program in New Bern, NC. It was such a huge milestone for me, but in the years since, I have met cyclists, runners and other athletes who persevere in the face of challenges far greater than any I likely will ever face in my lifetime.

One of these is Elizabeth Page of Raleigh.

Last September, more than two decades since symptoms of stiffness, weakness, numb hands and feet and extreme fatigue resulted in a Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis, Elizabeth triumphantly completed her firstever double century ride at the Bike MS Greater Carolinas weekend in New Bern,

By Teri Saylor

N.C. For Elizabeth, who is 50, this 200-mile achievement is more than a long-distance bicycle ride, it caps 20 years of determination to gain the upper hand on a body that is under attack by a relentless, unseen foe that won't be vanquished until the medical world discovers an ultimate cure.

And until that day comes, she rides.

Elizabeth learned she had MS when she was 31, the average age for this diagnosis.

By the time she was diagnosed, she had been experiencing the symptoms for four years.

“It's a difficult disease to diagnose, and it's what is known as a disease of exclusion,” she explained. “So if you exclude all the other possibilities and when you don't have anything left to explain the symptoms, then you say it's MS.” When Elizabeth's symptoms started, she had stiffness on one side of her body, coupled with weakness and a heavy fatigue she couldn't shake. She felt pins and needles in her hands and feet. The symptoms would last for extended periods of time, sometimes up to three weeks. A young mother with two small children, she often felt Lhermitte's Syndrome, a jolt, like an electrical shock that traveled from her neck down her spine when she bent over, or while driving when she turned her head around to check on her kids in their car seats.

Elizabeth has been active all her life.

Growing up, she played team sports and loved riding bikes. After she married and started her family, she cut back on cycling, and stayed fit by walking and running. Then her family moved from North Carolina to California for a few years, where Elizabeth first started participating in the MS Society's cycling and fundraising events.

In 2000, Elizabeth's friends and family formed a cycling team and named it “Missing Spokes.”

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society was started as the Association for Advancement of Research on Multiple Sclerosis in 1946. Since that time it has become a national, multi-chapter, non-profit organization. The organization raises money through a variety of athletic events, including Bike MS - Greater Carolinas in New Bern and Winston-Salem each September and at Sunset Beach in October.

Bike MS Greater Carolinas is now in its 29th year.

At $8,910 as of Oct. 8, Elizabeth is the 11th highest fund raiser for the 2017 Bike MS - New Bern event, and has raised more than $320,000 since she started riding and raising money in 1998. Her Missing Spokes team raised $46,074 so far in 2017, becoming the fifth highest fundraising team in the 2017 ride. Since 2000, the team has raised over $850,500 for MS research. Not bad for a team with fewer than 30 members.

New Bern is a picturesque, 250-year-old town in eastern North Carolina. Situated at the confluence of the Trent and Neuse Rivers, the town is located about 35 miles inland from the ocean. It is the site of North Carolina's original State Capitol - Tryon Palace, also the former Governor's Mansion. The original palace burned in 1798, but in the early 20th Century, local officials started a 30-year mission to create a replica, which they unveiled in 1959 to

great fanfare. It welcomes thousands of visitors each year.

The MS ride is scheduled right in the middle of hurricane season, and most years, including 2017, the ride has defied the odds.

This year, Hurricane Irma threatened, but diverted into Florida, sparing North Carolina's coastal towns. Hurricane bands extended into New Bern, providing some mighty challenging headwinds on both days, but ultimately resulted in cooler-thanusual temperatures and generally pleasant riding weather.

The New Bern ride is a two-day event, offering four different routes of 30, 50, 75 and 100 miles per day. It's situated on a flat course with a lot of friendly rest stops.

For Elizabeth, whose decision to ride 200 miles over the course of the weekend was well thought out and orchestrated over miles of training rides, the weather was a blessing.

“If the ride had been cancelled because of a hurricane, I would have found a way to ride a double century anyway,” she said, and laughed.

Since she started riding in the MS event, she has reached for the upper limits of distance and endurance.

“The first MS ride I ever did, it was all about the physical challenge, and I wondered if I could ride 50 miles without my body saying 'I can't do this,'” she said.

Over time, her distances grew to 75 miles each day until she reached the century mark, and over the past few years, she has settled into a comfortable routine of pedaling a century on the first day of riding and 75 miles on the second day.

“Sometime around the beginning of last summer, I realized this year would be my 20th Bike MS ride, and I said 'okay, I'm going to do it because I've never done it,'” she said.

She also realized her summer schedule would give her time to train for it, so she set out to tackle this huge goal. Her training regimen consisted of riding every weekend, slowly building up over the summer, starting with 25 and 30 miles and working her way up to 50 or 60 miles on the weekends.

In the weeks leading up to the big weekend, she joined another MS training team - Team on Draft - and rode up to 18 miles with them on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and that made all the difference.

“Those weekday rides made a big difference in maintaining my fitness level and endurance,” Elizabeth said. “It's also nice to enjoy the social aspects of riding after work.”

She works as a fundraiser for HealthNC, a non-profit news outlet that covers health issues in North Carolina.

Besides the mental and emotional satisfaction of setting fundraising and mileage

Masters Running and Beyond Coping with Irma, On and Off the Run Everything was going great. I ran a 5K on Labor Day and won my age group!

And I enjoyed seeing several of my running buddies again after a long summer hiatus. My training was going well. The weather was getting a little cooler, making it easier to complete those long runs or intervals. And my new website was just days from being launched!

But then there was Irma. She first appeared as a little blob on the weatherman's chart, way out in the Atlantic, off the coast of Africa. A tropical wave, the weatherman called her. Soon she became Tropical Storm Irma, and then Hurricane Irma.

Soon everybody was talking about Irma. At the Labor Day race, it was what the buzz was all about. She's coming here, will we evacuate or stay?? I started to panic, since I had never experienced a hurricane before. It was with some hesitation that I had moved to Florida two years ago, knowing well that Florida can have hurricanes. For a long time, Florida was not “on my list” for this reason. But then I decided to move here anyway.

Of course I would have preferred my first hurricane to be an “itty bitty” Category 1. But here was Irma, churning towards us as a Category 5, destroying everything in her way, on Barbuda, St Marten and other Caribbean islands. I figured I should probably evacuate, but with my two cats that was easier said than

Damage From Hurricane Irma in Naples, FL

done. Also, it looked like Irma had staked out the entire state of Florida as her playground! Finally I decided to stay put, when a local friend of mine said both I and my cats could stay at their place during the storm. It was a sturdy concrete house equipped with hurricane shutters, but still I found it somewhat scary to stay in Naples. Especially when we were warned that parts of town could be inundated with a life threatening storm surge.

When Irma finally arrived on September 10th, she turned out not to be quite as ferocious as the experts had anticipated. Interacting with Cuba has weakened her somewhat. She also went a little further east than originally predicted, saving us from the worst of the storm surge.

But there were still serious damage in some parts of Naples, with roofs blown off and water entering homes and businesses.

In the “bunker” where I was staying it wasn't quite as nerve racking when the

storm pummeled through as I had feared it would be. But obviously, it was no day for running! I had gone for a short run the day before, however on the 10th of September I was cooped up in my friend's house the entire day. And so were my cats, seemingly oblivious to what was going on outside.

But during the week immediately after the storm I ran almost every day. My daily run became a blessing, and a stress relief.

I went for a run the day after Irma to go check on my house, as my friend's house was less than a mile away. Luckily there was no major damage to the house. But there were several trees down, in the entire neighborhood. I will especially miss the palm tree at the end of my street, which I would run or drive by every day.

A beautiful Bismarck Palm, which was no match for Irma to knock to the ground!

Each day I ran by myself, and I ran in my own neighborhood. With streets full of debris, and with gas in scarce supply, it was a challenge to drive anywhere to run.

Group runs were also canceled, including my club's “Dash and Dine,” a group run and social event that is a recurring item on our calendar the second Tuesday every month. There was never any official announcement that it was canceled, since there was no easy way to notify members when power was out everywhere. But with everything in a state of shambles, it was obvious that the run wouldn't happen.

By the Saturday after the storm, some club members met for their weekly long run though, an hour later than usual in order not to have to dodge tree branches and other debris in the dark.

It will be some time before I can run at many of my favorite venues again. The greenway that I normally run on once or twice a month is as of this writing closed indefinitely. I tried to run on streets near the beach, but with debris piled up on the sidewalks and numerous maintenance and repair vehicles driving by in the road, that turned out to be difficult. So I returned to running in the subdivisions near my home. As of yet I haven't met up with fellow runners in my club since the storm.

But I'm looking forward to seeing them at our October Tuesday run, which will be our last for the season.

So, I miss my running venues, and my running buddies! But I still consider myself very lucky, considering that Irma (along with Harvey and Maria) caused so much misery for so many people. All that Irma had in store for me was a week without electricity (although my friend got her power back sooner so I continued to “camp out” at their house), a few weeks with erratic Internet, and several tiles blown off my roof. Plus a bunch of canceled events, both running-related and otherwise. And again, fewer choices of places to run.

But no races canceled, at least not for me. September is normally a slow month for racing here in Florida. We got our Labor Day race in before the storm, and our next club sponsored race, a 5K for corporate teams, is set to go off as scheduled in early October. As far as I know, all remaining races on the calendar this year are also a 'Go'. At least here in Naples.

So I survived my first hurricane! It was scary, and it was bad. But not bad enough that I will pack up and move. Before moving here I had heard of Hurricane Donna, who barreled into Naples in 1960, on a track very similar to Irma and equally destructive. And on the same date, September 10th! Then 45 years later, in 2005, there was Wilma. Like Irma, Wilma was a Category 3 hurricane when she made landfall very close to Naples. I had hoped there would be at least another 45 year hiatus before the next hurricane would descend on Naples, but it was only twelve years until Irma showed up this year. Now, after visits from these three “evil sisters” I'm wishing for a long period of quiet here in beautiful Naples. But only time will tell whether this will be the case.

Running Through the Bluegrass Denny Krahe's Adventure into Running and Coaching The Internet has allowed more runners to work with coaches - and for more people to become coaches themselves. Just like runners, the story behind each coach is different. The how and why they decided to coach, and how they go about it.

Denny Krahe only recently became a runner - but worked as an athletic trainer, in physical therapy, and as a personal trainer, first. Based in Lakeland, Florida, when he finally caught the running bug, Denny caught it hard.

Now a running coach and host of the popular running podcast DizRuns, Denny is on a quest: to run a marathon in every state and to qualify for the Boston Marathon.

He played other sports growing up in Michigan, but said he never cared for running. When he came to Florida for college, running three miles around a nearby lake was a common pasttime.

"I'd do it begrudgingly,” he said. "My wife was more of a runner. She'd run ahead, and then run back. But eventually it got to be more and more of a thing.”

Denny was a trainer at Middle Tennessee, working with the track team.

He was constantly around runners and at meets.

"Running just became something that I didn't hate -now I couldn't imagine life without it,” he said.

Denny and his wife moved back to Lakeland after he finished graduate school.

"I thought to myself I should run the Disney half, but it was sold out,” he said.

"The full was still open, though, and I thought to myself if I waited until next year I'd probably forget! The Disney marathon was my first race longer than a fun-run 5k.”

He did it - and then said he would never do another one. Well, we all know how that goes! He considered 2010 the start of being a “real runner."

Denny was a full-time athletic trainer until 2012, and he was also a physical therapy contractor for a theme park, providing preventative care for entertainers.

Then he went into personal training exclusively for about a year and a half.

“With personal training, the hours are always before and after work, because that's when people can come, and that didn't work with my family,” he said.

So he asked himself what he could do that was different.

By Tracy Green

"I started a podcast talking about health and fitness, and I had my own running blog,” he said. "I wondered, what if I did a show where I talk to people like we're out on a run? And the DizRuns podcast was born.”

As the podcast's popularity grew, Denny would get asked if he offered running coaching.

"I was turning them down because I didn't have a coaching certification, he said.

“Then I looked into the certification and realized it wasn't any different that my graduate coursework.”

Denny Krahe

Denny started working with his first coaching clients in August 2014. He cites Matt Fitzgerald and his "80/20” method as a key influence in his coaching.

"With my clients, heart rate monitoring is my preference,” he said. "We also use perceived exertion and the talk test, plus communication with my athletes to know how a workout felt. A lot of my coaching is getting them to slow down and then go hard enough on the hard days. The target keeps moving as you get fitter.”

Currently, Denny offers both one-on-one coaching as well as the Coterie, a hybrid of individual and group coaching. Clients get their training program two weeks at a time.

Denny is also putting the finishes touches on his first book, designed for people who aren't ready to take the full coaching plunge.

"If there's one thing I'm not a fan of, it's one-size-fits-all training plans,” he said.

"I don't know why we've bought into this idea. We're all unique. We all have our different needs, our different preferences,

different components of our lives that have to be balanced. If you want to get the best out of yourself, it's my belief that you need a training plan that's designed for you.”

Recognizing not everyone can afford a coach, Denny designed his book to bridge the gap. His book, “Be Ready on Race Day,” will explain how runners can structure their own training plans.

Denny's “DizRuns” podcasts includes interviews with runners of all abilities as well as helpful tips and injury prevention based on his background in athletic training. Find it at DizRuns.com (and find his interview with me in episode 387), where you can also find info on his book.

Down the Road Partial Eclipse of the Sun, and the Run? A total Eclipse of the Sun is a big deal.

You know; the one that swept the U.S from Oregon across the entire mainland and exited through South Carolina on August 21, 2017. Unless you lived in the 'total line' like Greenville, Columbia and Charleston in South Carolina (and other cities in other states) were lucky enough to get, you only got the 'partial'. A partial Eclipse - less so, but that is what most of us got. During a total Eclipse, the sun is fully covered by the moon for a couple of minutes and you can actually look directly at the sun (without suffering eye damage) since only the corona is exposed all the way around the edges.

But to get that experience you had to be dead center in line for the total Eclipse. The rest of us got a partial Eclipse. Since Rock Hill where my wife Kathy and I live was just slightly off the perfect axis, we were told we would get a 98% Eclipse - or more properly a partial Eclipse of the sun. We assumed it would get dark and we would get a picture perfect Eclipse. We were wrong. It did get sort of darker - like a heavy cloud covered day (even though there wasn't a cloud in the skies). But without Eclipse glasses it was impossible to look and tell that the sun was

being eclipsed. A big disappointment for us and for all the kids (and adults) in the neighborhood who expected the total Eclipse experience. But it sure makes you realize how bright the sun is when it only takes 2% of the surface shining through to light up the area as brightly as any typical cloudy day.

So when the bright sunlight is hitting us with less force and power and a decline in the light, it can be hard to tell that it was lesser. The same goes for runs. Have you noticed the partial eclipse of the run? I'm using the word run here for races. South Carolina like the rest of the states in the Union per Running USA statistics is undergoing a decline in the number of and the

participation in races.

Some of you know that I try to keep up with all the races in South Carolina and have been doing so for years - in fact since 2002.

According to the number of races I could find and get information on the number grew every year from that year until the peak of 619 races in 2015. Then there were 570 in 2016.

So after the decline to 570 races last year and now with eight months (as this is written) two-thirds of the year over, we have 306. So we would have to get 264 races crowded into the last 4 months of 2017. It's unlikely to think that could happen since we've been averaging just 38.25 races per month this year. So (double check my weak math, and if it is correct) we are on course to end the year with about 459 races this year.

That would mean a decline in the number of races for the second year in a row. And the decline would be even larger. Not a great trend. We would have to average 66 races per month for 4 months in a row to equal last year's total number of races.

The other downward trend is a smaller number of finishers in most races. I haven't counted to see the exact numbers, but a

close estimate is that 2 out of 3 races have had fewer finishers than they had last year.

So we are down in the number of races, and down in the participation numbers of finishers But maybe it is just a partial Eclipse. Let's hope things turn around. Are more races starting to give 'participation medals' to all finishers to try to attract more Millennials to races? Would that help race participation?

Are too many Baby Boomers aging out of race participation? If you have a solution for that I'd like to be the first to know.

The great thing about the Eclipse (total and partial) of the Sun was that it came back full strength after a short period of time.

Let's hope we see the same with the Run (races). You know we want to see you racing and running down the road for a long time to come.

Running Psychology Let's Just Call it “Discomfort” One of the main reasons people cite for not liking to run is running “hurts.” Even today, in many sports, running is used as a form of punishment. You're probably familiar with the line, “my sport is your sport's punishment!” Some people will do almost anything to avoid the so-called “pain” brought about by running. Why in the world then do we go out and subject ourselves to this brutal torture called running? Are we masochists that love pain? Or on the other hand, are we some super-humans that don't feel any “discomfort” when we run?

There is indeed a certain amount of physical discomfort that comes with running, especially when we push to our physiological capacity. I really don't like to use the word, but yes, there is some “pain” involved with running. The pain I'm talking about has nothing to do with the pain of a running injury. What many refer to as the “pain” of running is a result of metabolic by-product build-up, such as lactic acid, energy store depletion, and eccentric loading of the muscles. All of these things can lead to the discomfort we experience during running, especially hard running. However, our mental state plays a very large part in how we perceive and interpret the discomfort we

By Richard Ferguson, Ph.D.

may feel while running. If we are really concentrating on a on a particular pace or competitor during a race, we may not actually be aware of any discomfort until something breaks our concentration and we become aware of how we're feeling.

Concentration is certainly a mental skill and if we're concentrating on the task at hand, i.e. the race or run, and not on ourselves, we tend to not experience as much discomfort.

Certainly our beliefs about pain can greatly influence the pain we actually experience. What about the placebo effect? If we expect a pill to reduce pain then we may actually get some relief, even if the pill is only a sugar pill. If we expect something to

www.running.net hurt a lot then the pain is going to be worse.

Our cognitive expectations can greatly influence the sensations we experience.

Pain is a very individual phenomenon.

Some individuals seem to tolerate and cope with pain much better than others. Do they just feel less pain or do they somehow know how to reduce it? There is really no way to accurately measure pain because the only way to do so is dependant upon the perceptions of the individual experiencing the pain and also how they describe the pain. What one runner may term excruciating pain may be completely inconsequential to another runner. Pain is a very difficult thing to study and research because it is so individual. We all experience the intensity of pain differently and we all cope with the perceptions of pain differently.

So how can we better cope with the “discomforts” of running? Almost all programs that are designed to help humans endure and cope with pain are designed around the thinking process. In other words pain management strategies are usually cognitive in nature and involve concentration on something other than the pain itself. So to be better able to deal with the discomforts of running we need to direct our attention away from thoughts about ourselves and more toward thoughts about what we are actually doing in the present moment.

When we actually concentrate our thoughts on our body and how it feels we are said to be using “association.” Research has indicated that the best runners associate and monitor their bodies quite well. They

Learning from the Young Guns Stable Hips for Injury Free Running Bill Rodgers is a freak. He is the only person to ever win both the Boston and New York City Marathons 4 times each, and that alone qualifies as freakish, but scrolling through a few years of his training logs online reveals another aspect that set Bill apart from everyone else. His ability to run mega mileage - sometimes upwards of 180 miles in a week - without ever suffering a major injury is astonishing, even by professional running standards. If you analyzed Bill's running form you would notice how he floats over the ground, but upon further inspection you would also detect a small hitch in his step.

You would notice a slight lean to his left, a right arm that swings open with every stride, a mid-foot striking right foot, and forefoot striking left foot. All of which is surprising considering the immense mileage Bill ran during his career injury free. It turns out that asymmetry was his body's way of accounting for a significant leg length discrepancy. If someone had told Bill to change his arm carriage or foot plant we may have never had the Bill

Rodgers we now know as one of the greatest US marathoners in history.

Some aspects of running form are unique to the individual and related to a person's physical structure, but pelvic stability is the universal foundation we all should be attentive to. There are many running related injuries associated with poor pelvic stability, including hamstring strains, lower leg injuries, IT band syndrome, and back pain among others.

Another trait you would notice analyzing Bill's form is his pelvis is very stable there is no collapsing upon impact or for-

know what their body should feel like at different paces and points in a race. The key with association is body feedback is being monitored, not focused upon in a manner that takes thinking away from the race and on the actual physical discomfort in and of itself. On the other hand, if we think about something else when we run, like being at the beach or winning a race, we are practicing “dissociation.” During extreme exertion and discomfort even the best runners dissociate to some degree. Pain is indeed made worse by focusing on it and pain perceptions are lessened when we take our focus away from the pain.

So just what should we think about when we feel the inevitable “discomfort” that comes with a hard effort? Well, the answer is quite simple: use a mental device. So just what the heck is a mental device? A mental device is not some piece of high priced, new wave technology. In other words, you don't need to fork out big bucks for some gadget that will sit in your basement or garage and collect dust because it's never used. A mental device is anything that takes your thoughts away from yourself. Counting sheep to fall asleep is a common example of a mental device. A mental device helps with relaxation and when relaxed, pain is reduced.

The most common mental device is probably self-talk, or the inner dialog that we carry on with ourselves. We all have selftalk going on in our heads as we run. If the

CONTINUED ON PAGE 13 our Adult Running Vacationers here at ZAP, an exercise performed incorrectly simply strengthens the dysfunction.

Step-Ups: 2 sets of 6 on each leg, progress to 2 sets of 12 Find a box or a stair that when you put one foot on top of it your thigh is roughly parallel to the ground. To perform the exercise, place one foot completely on top of the box and then step fully up onto the box using only that leg. As you step up be sure to use the step up leg to perform the work rather than pushing off with the foot on the ground, and focus on stabilizing the knee through the exercise. Finish the exercise standing on one foot with the other foot in the air in a running posture and your hips tucked underneath you in a level position.

Clam Shells: 2 sets of 10 on each leg, progress to 2 sets of 30 Start by lying on your side with your legs bent and stacked on top of each other.

Keep your ankles together while raising your top knee up as you squeeze your top glute muscle, the gluteus medius. The gluteus medius is one of the primary hip stabilization muscles, it prevents the hip from rotating inwards or dipping during impact, one of the most common hip stabilization issues among runners. Make

ward rotation, both very common amongst distance runners. With our ZAPReebok professional athletes most of the work we do outside of running is centered on pelvic stabilization. Critical to the efficacy of any strength exercise is the proper execution of it.

The first step in proper hip stabilization is engaging your transverse abdominus, the deep abdominal muscle that stabilizes your spine. Activating this muscle will help keep your hips level rather than rotated forward, which is important for proper hip stability and gluteal muscle function, and should be the starting position for any strength exercise. Aside from the slight natural curvature of the lower back, this will also keep your back relatively flat and inactive, ensuring that the spine is properly stabilized.

With those principles in mind, let's take an in depth look at 4 exercises you can do 3-5 times a week to strengthen your hips and become a more stable and efficient runner. Keep in mind, quality is more important than quantity - as I always tell CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

EAT WELL, RUN WELL

Talking About Food…

Food is fuel and food is medicine. Food brings runners together and is supposed to be one of life’s pleasures. Team meals are a vehicle for building relationships, enjoying conversations, and nourishing the soul.

Unfortunately in today’s society, too many runners report they have no time to enjoy meals. Parents struggle to gather their student runners for a family dinner; practices and meets inevitably interrupt the dinner hour. And even when seated at the same table, some family members may be eating just salad while the rest of the family enjoys steak. So much for eating out of the same pot.

Today’s food conversations commonly refer to good food, bad food, clean food, fattening food. We all know runners who don’t do sugar, gluten, white flour, or red meat, to say nothing of cake on birthdays, ice cream cones in summer, or apple pie on Thanksgiving. We live with abundant food, but we have created a fearful eating environment with our words. This article invites you to pay attention to how you think and talk about food. Perhaps it is time to watch your mouth, so you can start to change the current culture that makes food a source of fear for many health-conscious runners.

Good food vs. Bad Food “I eat only healthy foods —lots of fresh fruits and vegetables—and I stay away from stuff in wrappers with ingredients I can’t pronounce.“ While this may seem like a noble stance towards being a responsible caretaker for your body, it raises a few red flags for me.

• One, a diet of only healthy foods can be a very unhealthy diet. For example, apples are a healthy food, but a diet of all apples is a very unhealthy diet.

• Two, a diet with only unprocessed food eliminates refined or lightly processed grains that are enriched with vitamins and iron, nutrients of importance for runners. For instance, “all natural” breakfast cereals like Puffins and Kashi offer only 4% to 10% of the Daily Value for iron, as compared to ironenriched cereals like Wheaties, GrapeNuts, and Bran Flakes and that offer 45% to 100% of the recommended intake. If you eat very little red meat (a rich source of dietary iron), do not cook in a cast iron skillet (a meat-free source of iron), and eat only “all natural” grain foods, you could easily have an irondeficient diet. This shows up as anemia and needless fatigue.

A survey of female runners (ages 18-22) reports 50% had anemia, often undiagnosed.

Yes, many hard-to-pronounce and unfamiliar words like niacinamide, ferrous sulfate, and ascorbic acid are listed among the ingredients of fortified and enriched grain foods.

These are the scientific names for the same vitamins in pills.

There’s a reason why they were added to foods in the first place. Adding folic acid to grains has reduced the risk of having a baby with a birth defect. B-12 is important for vegans.

Will the trend to avoid enriched and fortified foods come back to bite us? How about choosing the best of both?

Bad food vs. Fun Food When runners feel compelled to confess their nutritional sins to me (“I eat too many bad foods—chips, French fries, nachos… “), I quickly remind them there is no such thing as a bad food (or a good food, for that matter). Is birthday cake really a bad food? Is a hot dog at a baseball game going to ruin your health forever? Should you not make cookies with your children on a snowy day?

Those so-called bad foods are actually fun foods that taste yummy and can fit into an overall balanced diet. Rather than critiquing a single food, please judge your diet by the whole

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

week, month, and year. Halloween candy is a fun treat in the midst of a steady intake of fruits, vegetables, lean meats and wholesome grains. So is pumpkin pie with ice cream.

Depriving yourself of fun foods creates good and bad foods, as well as a really bad relationship with food. Eating a fun food is not cheating. The problem arises when you restrict fun foods, only to succumb to devouring not just one cookie but all 24 of them. Binge-eating burdens you with not only excess body fat, but also (self-imposed) guilt for having broken your food rules, and disgust with yourself for having pigged out.

Eating the whole thing means you like that food and should actually eat it more often, rather than try to stay away from it.

Contrary to what you may believe, you are not addicted to cookies. You are simply doing “last chance” eating. Last chance to have cookies (or so you tell yourself) because they are a bad food and I shouldn’t eat them at all.

There’s a more peaceful way to live. Try balancing a cookie or two into your daily menu. After all, you need not have a perfect diet to have an excellent diet. A reasonable goal is 8590% quality foods; 10-15% “whatever.”

Healthy diet vs. A single ingredient Salt, sugar, and saturated fat seem to be today’s food demons. Rather than look at each ingredient, I cannot encourage you enough to look at the entire food (and your entire diet). Take sugar, for example. Are the 3 grams of sugar in Skippy peanut butter really a source of evil? What about the 10 grams of refined sugar in chocolate milk? That (“evil”) sugar quickly refuels muscles after a hard workout. That’s why chocolate milk is an effective recovery food. After a hard workout, when you are tired and thirsty, but not yet hungry, the sugar in chocolate milk offers a quick energy boost that normalizes your low blood glucose and replenishes depleted muscle glycogen. While some runners focus on chocolate milk’s 10 grams (40 calories) of added sugar, I invite you to pay more attention to its high quality protein (needed to repair muscles) and abundant vitamins and minerals that invest in your good health. The fit bodies of runners can metabolize sugar much better than the unfit bodies of couch potatoes.

The bottom line You want to enjoy an excellent diet, and not strive for a “perfect” (but very strict) diet. You can win good health and running races alike with a balanced diet, filled with a variety of foods, and enjoyed in moderation.

After the Run Proof Left on the Path Hurricane Irma's ravaging winds ripped regal oaks out of the ground by their roots, leaving them lying across streets and running trails. The force of her intrusion left 80% of Polk County, Florida residents without power - many for more than a week. Now, more than a month later, her destructive path still remains marked by fallen trees, broken fences, penetrated rooftops, and destroyed power lines.

Nonetheless, more than 130 ultra distance runners converged on the Lake Hollingsworth running path less than two weeks after Irma's departure from the sunshine state. Undeterred by Irma's devastation, they stood strong and readied in their running attire, prepared to log as many miles as they could during the 4th Annual TICK TOCK ULTRA Marathon & Team Relay in Lakeland, Florida.

With thanks to the City of Lakeland, a blocked, obstructed, and tree debris-filled running path had been replaced with a clean, clear course on race day. Where moss-covered canopied oaks once stood, providing a much more shaded route in years past, heart-shaped tree stumps could be spotted instead - perhaps signifying the undying love of the sport and resilient venue.

Beautiful, white ibis birds flocked by the starting line like fresh sheets covering the wet grass, while ducks danced near the water in the distance. The fog horn sounded and hundreds of syncopated steps tapped on the pavement at a percussionist's time-keeping song. The runners were off. Their day of miles had begun and it would conclude in 6 or 12 hours,

with triumph or disappointment - depending on perspective and relative vantage point.

For Malu Paredes, Joel Rich and Todd Alfuth, their 6-hour ultramarathon ended in victory as they crossed the finish line as the day's overall 6-hour champions.

Paredes ran 31.24 miles and Rich and Alfuth both finished strong and fast, with 39.76 miles.

A slew of fellow competitors realized their more-than-a-marathon ultra distance in that 6-hour period of time as well.

Those competitors, each running at least 28.4 miles, also reigned victorious by running at least 10 laps and earning their official TICK TOCK ULTRA marathon medals.

All of their accomplishments recognized, the ultramarathon continued as the 12-hour individual and relay athletes remained focused on their miles. Two hours before the conclusion of the event, winds whisked through, lifting tents from the ground and sprinkling lap recordation sheets with drops of rain. The runners ran unfazed and slightly cooled as a rainbow replaced the clouds and another 90 min-

At the end of 12 hours, 2016 reigning TICK TOCK ULTRA champion, Sally Libonati, claimed the Overall Champion title yet again by logging 65.32 miles. The Overall Male Champion, Justin Miller, was just a lap behind her, logging 62.48 miles. Both the Female Masters Winner, Sara Medrano, and the Male Masters Winner, Blain Reeves, were just a lap behind him, each logging 59.64 miles.

The winning 12-hour relay team also gave an exciting finish. Comprised of five members (Will Morrell, Joshua Prevatt, James Hurst, Jenn Walton, and Carl Lewis), relay team PHEEL GOOD (running for the non-profit PHEEL GOOD Foundation), broke the relay team course

record by logging 99.4 miles. They then ran another, unofficial, .6 miles to round out the day with a solid 100-mile victory.

After all the results were read and the awards were presented, runners packed their tents, coolers, chairs, and gear in their vehicles, and left the Lake Hollingsworth trail. Unlike Irma's travels, no remnants of the runners' strides were left visibly behind - but their TICK TOCK ULTRA run was meaningful, and their miles will certainly be remembered.

Women’s Running The Importance Of Marathon Planning Over the past 20-plus years, I have written various articles about training for the marathon or for any distance event. I thought I would share a few of my insights attained from my 132 marathon completions and 40 years of distance running.

There is really is no magic about the marathon. Training for the marathon is a BIG DEAL! It is mentally and physically tough and so much can go wrong in the race. Failing to plan effectively with all of the details is often the downfall of a marathoner. The major goal and the only thing that counts is finishing, so you must do your best to see that your goal is accomplished. To do this practice is a vital component of planning.

Identify the challenges. Weather is certain to be a factor, so train under as many conditions as possible. In this way your body and your mind will be trained for whatever Mother Nature throws your way.

Know that weather will be the factor most beyond your control, so prepare for this challenge. Conquer the environment.

Dress properly by dressing for the last 10K which is when you are most vulnerable to weather conditions. Cold wind on tired legs has ended many a marathoner's dreams. Being comfortable as you go the final miles is crucial. I remember running the Rocket City Marathon one year and a competitor had a coach who told her wearing tights was for sissies. As I passed her in the final mile she was struggling with cramps and the cold. I was fine in my tights and long sleeved shirt. That "little mistake" cost her $500. I also remember several elite athletes who did not finish their marathon due to the cold on their legs. Nowadays tights and other apparel is so light, there should be no issue in dressing for the last 10K. You will need energy. Lean means not fat; it does not mean thin. Muscle is necessary to power your legs. Muscles are 75% water so the solution to pollution (lactic acid) is dilution. A constant infusion of energy is critical in training and in the race itself. Energy drinks (and gels) are necessary to keep muscle mass highly active. It is a big deal to get enough energy into your muscles. Typically 100 calories are burned a mile and 2000 stored calories are in your body. You use 50/50 carbohydrates/fat to run. Burning fat is more difficult and causes you to feel awful ( this is why you"hit the wall"). The tendency is to slow your pace and your pace can get slower and slower.

You must put in sugar to forestall this from happening. Thus you must practice

in training, drinking both water and the sport drink that will be used in your target marathon, along with whatever gels you may choose to use. You should never get into an energy deficit in training. Maintain your energy and hydration level at all times in your training cycle and during your race.

Conquer the distance. In training, run time as opposed to miles. Your last long run should be two to three weeks before the marathon. Practice marathon pace by doing marathon pace 20 minutes by two (or three). Recover for 10 minutes between each segment. Do this run 10 days before the marathon with an adequate warm up and cool down.

Divide to conquer the distance. Divide the marathon into three segments. The first 10 miles should be fun as you are at the starting line, injury free, not sick and well-prepared. You are good to go. The second 10 miles should be the questioning 10. How are you feeling? Do you need to back off?

Can you do it? What is good or bad? The last 10K is the coping phase. If you are able to effectively develop coping skills in training, then you will succeed. You must learn to cope with fatigue, stress and pain.

One trick used by many athletes is to convert the last 10K to friendly territory.

Think forward not backwards. Your 20mile warm-up is history. Forget the twos and mile 21 is mile 1 of your 10K. You have run many 10Ks, so do it again .

Mental preparation can develop your coping skills.

The four major components for reaching your goals are patience, perseverance, the plan and support systems. The plan must focus on all of the elements covered above. Support systems include people and activities that will help you achieve your plan. Patience and perseverance are an integral part of the plan and include monitoring your rest and recovery and your nutrition. A final conundrum is to avoid injury. So do the least amount of sensible training to fulfill your plan. It is definitely better to err on the side of under training than over training. Do your long

runs, but not too frequently(every 10 to 14 days) and ensure proper recovery.

One added thought to remember is to rest, hydrate and eat the week before your marathon. Do not make any changes in your diet. Just eat a few more carbs.

You have planned effectively. Pack for any weather conditions and wear what you know is tried, true and tested. Do nothing new. Get to your marathon a day early if you are flying. AND do not check your luggage. My best example of this is when I was attempting to get the Olympic Trials standard. My husband and I flew from Binghamton, NY, to Jacksonville, FL, in early December late on Friday evening. I always carried my uniform and racing shoes with me, but not all my gear.

Imagine my dismay when race morning dawned at 30 degrees and our luggage, which included my warm ups was lost. I went to the start in my heavy coat and attempted to warm up. It was ridiculous and I knew I could not race in shorts and a singlet. I did not start and our luggage arrived later in the morning. We flew back home and wasted all that training and money.

Finally make a packing list during your training/practice and check off all of the items as you pack. I remember several athletes who arrived with two left shoes or just one shoe. Planning and preparation will get you to the start in fine shape. Now relax and have fun!!

THIS RUNNING LIFE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 goals and achieving them, Elizabeth has maintained a healthy outcome so far in her own battle against MS. Shortly after her diagnosis, new drugs had come onto the market, and although they alleviated the symptoms, they did nothing to cure the disease.

“For me, that was an aha moment,” she said. “I had never really thought about the fact that I had a disease there was no cure for because all I was focused on was dealing with the symptoms.”

She also took a close look at her lifestyle and decided change was in order.

“I'm very type-A, goal-oriented, and all of that, and I often denied myself sleep. I stayed up really late doing a lot of work, and I dialed all that back, putting more emphasis

on sleep, and on exercise,” she said. “I stopped burning the candle at both ends and in the middle and as my husband quips, 'only burning it on both ends.' Then I started on the medications and those things, combined with support from my family, set me up to have a really good outcome with my disease.”

Today, nearly 20 years after her diagnosis, she's still on her original medications and has been visiting her doctor twice a year. She has been symptom free for several years, and her most recent MRI shows no new brain lesions, which indicates her MS is not progressing. For first time, her check-up schedule has been reduced to just once a year.

“Does this mean the disease has gone away? We have no way of knowing,” she said. “In New Bern, there were a number of people who have MS whom I have known for 20 years. They are not doing as well as I am, and I am reminded of how fortunate I am.”

During long stretches of asphalt on her recent weekend of riding, Elizabeth thought about how fortunate she is to be able to set lofty goals and to have a chance to achieve them.

“On the second day of riding, I was pleasantly surprised how well I felt after I got to the 175-mile mark,” she said.

“There was rough spot, halfway through that last 25 miles, and with 12 miles to go, I decided I would just have to do it.”

She overcame the mental challenges and crossed the finish line.

While Elizabeth is dealing with Multiple Sclerosis, she knows other people deal with challenges of their own - diabetes, high blood pressure, injuries. And for some, there are mental barriers and often just plain laziness.

She insists riding 100 miles is not impossible for even the most average cyclists and beginners.

“When I look at all the people who are at a ride like the Bike MS ride - and there's probably like 1,500 to 2,000 riders, I see the different body types, the different experience levels, ages,” she said. “And you'd think a lot of these people, if you see them walking down the street, you would never guess that they will go out and ride 50, 75 or even 100 miles at a time.”

Everyone, even the most experienced, speediest cyclist had to start somewhere.

Maybe it's three miles or five miles. In cycling it's easy to ramp up, especially when you ride in an organized function with rest stops every 10 or 12 miles.

Joining a local team is a good idea too.

The support you get from a team is tremendous and it's a great way to make new friends.

I have heard if you can ride 10 miles, you can do a century.

According to Elizabeth, who made it look easy last September in New Bern, “the hardest century you ever do will be your first one.”

RUNNING PSYCHOLOGY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 self-talk consist of things like, “I'm hurting so bad”, “I don't think I can finish,” or “this is really miserable,” then the discomfort is only going to be made worse because we are actually focusing our attention on it.

Self-statements that keep us focused on the race or workout will help take our focus away from any discomfort allow us to cope much better. By using internal statements like, “stay relaxed and push,” “go after that guy up ahead,” or “I feel strong,” we will better be able to keep our focus away from any physical discomfort we may be experiencing.

By using a mental device we can, in a way, disregard or at least not cognitively acknowledge that pain is present. The key with making any mental device work is practice! In order to self-regulate our perceptions of pain we must continually refine our ability to cognitively interpret the signal our bodies are giving us.

Here are a few suggestions for your next “challenging” run. Since breathing is always present when you run, it can serve as a mental device. When you feel yourself begin to suffer a bit, simply focus on your breathing and absolutely nothing else. This is the same principle that is used in focused breathing during transcendental meditation.

Once you master the skill of breathing focus, then imagine that each time you exhale you are blowing pain out of your body. In reality you won't blow out any pain, but you will take your focus away from the discomfort.

Repeating a cue word is also a good way to reduce the focus on discomfort.

Repeating over and over to yourself words like, “relax,” “easy,” or “warm” can take your mind away from discomfort.

Combining these cue words with some positive imagery can also be a valuable tool when you're not feeling all that great.

Finally, by simply focusing on the race or those you're running with can serve to reduce discomfort. If you're focused totally on the task at hand then you can't be focused on yourself and how you feel. Just think back to when you had a really good race in which you were very focused on a certain time or pace, or even very focused on catching a competitor. Did you really perceive any pain in that situation? If you were totally focused on the race the pain was secondary.

Above all, don't focus on the feelings of discomfort. Doing so will only make the perception of the discomfort worse.

Practice using some form of mental device to get your mind away from the discomfort and you will be able to cope much better.

No, we can't totally eliminate discomfort, but with a little practice we can drastically change how we perceive it.

LEARNING FROM THE YOUNG GUNS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 sure that your hips remain stable through the motion and you avoid rotating the hip on top backward as you lift your knee, even if it limits the motion.

Single Leg Hip Raises: 2 sets of 8, progress to 2 sets of 15 This exercise activates both the glutes and hamstrings. Lay flat on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Grab one knee with your hands and hug it toward your chest so that only one foot remains on the ground. This exercise is often performed with two legs, but hugging your knee toward your chest better isolates the glute by preventing the lower back from becoming overly activated. Engaging the glute of the leg on the ground push through the heel to lift your hips into the air. Hold the position for 1-2 seconds before lowering the hips back to the ground.

Bodyweight Squat: 2 sets of 8, progress to 2 sets of 15 Stand with your feet shoulder width or slightly more than shoulder width apart. Initiate the squat motion with the hips by sitting back as if you were reaching back for a chair with your hips.

Keep your head up and the plane of your back level and flat - if you have to round your shoulders forward or deepen the curve in your lower back to gain the range of motion then you don't have the proper range of motion to squat any deeper. As you are sitting back focus on keeping your weight on your heels and make sure your knees aren't coming out over your toes. If you feel like you are going to fall backward you are doing the exercise correctly, you are simply limited by the range of motion in your hips and hamstrings, something this exercise will help improve.

These exercises may not help you float along the ground like Bill Rodgers, but incorporating them into your regular routine will help you emulate his unique ability to run injury free.
