Treadmill Time: Find What Works for You

One of the best things I read on Instagram in all of 2017 was Esther Atkins saying it's not a “dreadmill,” it's a “dreammill” back in August. Yes, running outside is the best - but, the treadmill is a great tool to keep your training on track. We're headed out of the worst of the cold and dark, but in our part of the country, the heat and humidity isn't far behind.

Staying distracted is the only way I can do it, though.

-- Pick a series that you might not get to watch or listen to otherwise and save it for the treadmill. The goal is to find something so good that you WANT to get on the treadmill.

-- Find what works for you. Some people only like to watch things they've seen already for fear they either get too into a show or that they miss key parts. I have to watch something new and engaging. Frequently with car chases. This also applies to figuring out if you like television shows vs. movies, or audioonly like podcasts or audiobooks. Regular television has commercials and there is nothing worse than being trapped on the treadmill during a commercial break. And since the breaks get longer and more frequent as the show progresses, it will, in fact, be true that the commercials seem to take forever as you near the end of a run. Movies, for me, are too long. I need the plot to move quicker so I stay engaged. A television show or three with no commercials does the trick.

-- Perfect your tech set-up. A pair of wireless headphones and an iPad is the best combination, I think.

Podcasts: S-Town - a true crime podcast that blew my mind.

Missing Richard Simmons - I am not an outdoor headphone wearer, and podcasts don't do it for me on the treadmill. But this one? I ran with my headphones every chance I could until I finished it. Don't read about it before you listen to it.

How I Built This - an NPR podcast in which Guy Raz dives into the stories behind some of the world's best known companies.

Make Me Smart - another NPR podcast, about the economy, technology, and culture.

It's somewhat news-based, but not entirely, so you can listen to current episodes or backtrack to ones with interesting topics (like the avocado toast episode).

TV shows: The Assassination of Gianni Versace - the second season from American Crime Story (who did The People v. OJ Simpson last year).

Did you know Versace was murdered? I didn't.

Fixer Upper - We're about to say goodbye to Chip & Jo but thankfully there are five seasons of this show to watch. And it is almost always re-running on HGTV. When in doubt, I turn on HGTV at the gym. Chip, by the way, is running a marathon - and they decided to

just host one in Waco.

Orphan Black - A sci-fi kinda action thriller. Hard to explain without giving anything away. I blasted through four seasons on the treadmill last winter.

UTMB Ultra Trail World Tour series - free on YouTube.

Flotrack documentaries - also free on YouTube, including features on Shalane, the Colorado Buffaloes, Kara Goucher, Alana Hadley, and more.

Movies: I Am Bolt - a 2016 bio pic about Usain Bolt.

Tracktown - Alexi Pappas co-wrote, codirected, and starred in this coming-of-age sports movie.

Breaking2 - the documentary special on Nike's attempt to break 2 hours in the marathon.

After the Run Good Times Worth Celebrating at Celebration, Florida In 1980 ‘Celebration’ (the song) was released by Kool & the Gang from their album ‘Celebrate!’. Thirty-three years later, ‘Celebration’ (the marathon and half marathon) was introduced by the town of Celebration, Florida, to a growing base of loyal runners.

With a USATF certified, Boston-qualifying course described as being, “the flattest course you’ll ever run”, runners accept Kool & the Gang’s lyrical invitation to “celebrate good times, come on!”, and flock to the event with hopes of fast feet and good times. Yet, while days later a group of runners reports having “good times”, not all of them were on the finishing clock.

After “downgrading” to the half marathon due to an automobile accident that happened weeks earlier, Katy Cook, of Lake Mary, Florida, went into the Celebration Marathon/Half Marathon event with a goal to better her half marathon time of 1:52. While persistent pain caused from the accident prevented her from realizing the ‘good finishing time’ she aspired to achieve, it did not prevent her from having a good time during and after the event.

“The Celebration races are always a good time, because they keep it feeling like small town, while providing a decent expo, very nice swag, and for me, there are always lots of friends there,” said Katy, who has run Celebration in years past.

One of those friends, was Lake Wales, Florida runner, Natasha Alexandra.

a bit ambitious. Struggling during the home stretch, Jason said that Natasha found him and pushed him through to another successful marathon finish.

“I’ll never forget that. That’s what running is all about,” Jason said.

Chris Ballesteros, of Orlando, knows exactly what Jason means. She has run the Celebration Marathon every year since its inception. Typically running to realize a new PR and get closer to qualifying for Boston, this year Chris ran Celebration with a goal of achieving the pace she is expected to run as a first-time pacer for the Florida Marathon. With a 60-second cushion at mile 24, she saw a runner go down.

“I knew that he was more important than practicing my pace,” Chris said of the runner who was experiencing debilitating cramps in both calves.

Without a second thought, Chris went to his aid, massaging his calves until additional help arrived. Chris did not make her pace-practice goal time, but she did not mind.

“In the end it was worth it. I saw him finish,” she said.

First-time marathoner, Kathy Cargal of Lakeland, also finished.

“I don’t want to go into details but my last few miles were pretty ugly,” she said post-run.

Kathy went into her first marathon with a solid foundation of training miles on her legs. Her goal was to finish before the 7-

January was Natasha’s third time running the Celebration event. She admitted that she is usually very competitive with herself, and sometimes hard on herself when she falls short of a time goal. This year however, the only time goal she set was to have a good time and enjoy herself. She received affirmation relatively quickly, that she would meet that goal.

“When I saw Katy Cook there, I knew it was going to be great. She and I are pretty close in pace so following her was my pacing help,” Natasha said. “There is nothing better than having a friend out there.”

Lakeland, Florida resident, Jason McCollum agreed. In fact, as happy as Natasha was to see Katy at the starting line, Jason may have been even happier when he saw Natasha during the final stretch of his race.

Jason ran the marathon distance this year with hopes of bettering his Celebration Marathon time from 2016.

Coming off of a busy work schedule with a lingering cold proved to make that goal CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

Down the Road South Carolina's Top And Largest Races of 2017 By Cedric Jaggers

Real information can be hard to gather.

If you watched the television broadcast or news coverage after the 2017 Cooper River Bridge Run 10K, you heard that there were 40,000 runners. Not exactly; in fact not nearly: 32,532 was not 40,000.

For 39 years in a row it has been the largest race in South Carolina and every year the television coverage exaggerates the number of participants who are in the race. I've noticed that the coverage of most races inflates the numbers. You have to check the finisher lists (on the websites or from the finish line service) to get the actual number. But it is possible to find out the actual numbers, and so every year I compile a list of the largest races in South Carolina.

If you want to know which are the 'Top' races in a state, it can be even more difficult. Everyone who runs races probably has his or her own top races, and has some criteria to decide; but it would be hard to make up a top 20. Fortunately Bill Marable, SC USATF Record Keeper for the state creates a list based on the overall competitiveness of the runners who participated in the race.

Needless to say, the two lists are not identical, but they do have 7 races which appear on both lists. I've only run 6 of the top 20 races on the list this year and 9 of the largest 20. If not for the car wreck in 2013, I would be seriously trying to run all the races on both of these lists (though not all in the same year). I'd love to hear from you as to how many you have run and what you thought of them.

I believe that a race which makes both lists is a good choice for anyone who likes racing. So scan the lists and make your plans for future races to run. We hope to see you running and racing down the road for years to come.

Learning from the Young Guns Deep Water Pool Running One of my favorite stories of cross training success is of the legendary Joan Benoit Samuelson working out on a hand bike the day after having knee surgery, 17 days before the 1984 Olympic Trials. Joan is most famous for winning the inaugural women's marathon gold medal later that summer in Los Angeles, but due to that surgery she was probably less sure about making the Olympic team that year than she was about winning the gold. Bob Kempainen's is a remarkable story of training almost exclusively on a Nordic trainer and in the pool in his lead-up to winning the 1996 Olympic Marathon Trials. These two Olympic stories highlight the value of using non-running exercise to improve or maintain fitness while injured, but there are other times cross training may play a constructive role in your training and the modality you choose can have a big impact on the benefits you derive.

There are numerous benefits to cross training, most notably, improving your aerobic capacity. The aerobic development you achieve through your long runs, tempo runs, and easy runs is done through improving your cardiovascular strength, lung capacity, and capillary bed density.

Generally, your lungs and heart don't know the difference between running and other aerobic exercise, which is why cross training can be such a powerful tool for developing aerobic fitness. However, it's important to remember your muscles do know the difference, and for that reason a healthy runner shouldn't look to replace running with cross training. The specificity of the activity is important and nothing will improve your running performances like running.

Incorporating cross training into your running routine can be beneficial to building your fitness whether you're injured or simply looking for a different activity to keep you motivated and engaged. While injury is the most common reason runners utilize non-running exercise, many include cross training as part of their regular training routine. An important thing to remember when incorporating cross training into your running training is to make sure it isn't detracting from your running.

Typically, this means avoiding a hard cross training workout the day before a hard running workout or long run. The best way to incorporate cross training in your training is to do it the day after your hard running workouts or long runs. If you're training hard for a specific goal, you're healthy,

and running at your maximum volume, cross training should be done at a moderate intensity in order to facilitate recovery while still providing aerobic benefits.

Deep-water pool running is a cross training modality that is uniquely suited to facilitate recovery after a long run or hard workout and provide running specific benefits. The hydrostatic pressure of the water helps promote blood flow throughout the body, which can help relieve the heavy legged feeling coming off harder workouts. Additionally, when performed correctly, pool running is the most running specific cross training workout you can do with zero impact. , The key difference between deep-water pool running and something like cycling is you are able to mimic proper running technique, which can have a positive impact on your running form when you're back on land. While it is possible to have good technique in the pool without a flotation belt, it is incredibly challenging, and because proper technique is critical to maximizing the benefits you should use a floatation belt. In water deep enough you can't touch the bottom, remain tall with your shoulders directly above your hips and ankles. The most common mistake is hunching your shoulders forward and pushing your hips back. The misconception that you're working harder if you're moving faster leads to this improper technique. With your hips back and shoulders forward you will cover more distance, but the hybrid run/swim motion that results

doesn't allow you to gain all the benefits of the exercise. With proper form you will move forward very slowly, but get a better running specific workout.

Proper form is what sets pool running apart from other types of cross training.

Stay tall in the water, drive your arms front to back, and pump your knees up and down. Because you have nothing to push off of in the water, the only difference with pool running is your feet won't come up behind you. Otherwise perfect running form is the goal. Your knees should be driving up and down in front of your body with your feet “landing� directly under your hips. If you have a lower leg injurym be cautious with pool running as the force of the water on the bottom of your foot can place stress on your calves and Achilles. If you notice tightness or painm an ElliptiGo or elliptical trainer would be a better fit than pool running.

You should structure your workouts using high intensity intervals with short recovery. Because of the hydrostatic pressure it is difficult to elevate your heart rate in the pool, so using intense intervals will provide the best workout. The intervals should be short so you can stay focused on proper technique and maintaining high intensity. The rest should be very short because your heart rate will drop quickly in the water but your muscles still need some recovery from pushing all that water around. A typical pool workout could consist of intervals ranging from 15 seconds to 3 minutes with most of the intervals at 60 seconds or less. Because most pools have a big 60 second clock on the deck, 60 second based workouts fit wonderfully. For example: 30 seconds hard followed by 30 seconds easy, 40 seconds hard followed by 20 seconds easy, 50 seconds hard followed by 10 seconds easy.

Whether you're healthy and looking to add some variety to your routine or coming back from an injury, deep-water pool running is an excellent way to build and

Running Journal • March, 2018

Women’s Running The Benefits Of Yoga For Runners I actually started doing yoga many years ago to increase my flexibility. I found Richard Hittleman's Yoga-28 Day Exercise Plan, which taught 38 yoga poses and breathing techniques in a very manageable format which was concise and easy to work through in the four week period. From that entry into yoga, I adapted a modified routine for myself that I have utilized for over 30 years. Yoga has served me well, and I am taking classes again. I enjoy my routine and know it has been instrumental in my ability to log so many miles without injury.

Unfortunately many runners only turn to yoga after a series of injuries or tightness that cannot be resolved. I have seen the benefits of yoga, as many of my running friends have undertaken it to help with injuries. I thought I would share with you some of the reasons for considering adding yoga to your fitness and mental health regimen. It truly will be life changing, as you add elements to create an integrated whole where you are more aware of how important it is to connect the mind, body and spirit to function at the highest level.

I have spent the past few days with my dearest friend and great runner Barb Jarnagin.

After years of coaching her (like 30!!) and knowing her (nearly 40!),she finally started on yoga about three years ago while recovering from a devastating injury to her knee. Barb has

By Carolyn Mather, RN, PhD.

been running competitively since age 13, and I have tried to encourage her to get a routine to increase her flexibility for years, as she has had chronic tightness in her lower body and many minor disruptions in her training related to this inflexibility. I admit I gave up, but she has come into her own and proven what I have known for years. So without further ado I will share the incredible benefits of yoga for runners of all ages.

As runners we are always trying to find time to run, work, live, play,etc. Life gets in our way and we often do not make the best choices for ourselves. As my dear husband told me, we all have the EXACT same amount of time every day (and 525,600 minutes a year) and we actu-

www.running.net ally decide how we use that time. Yoga incorporates the physical, mental and emotional aspects of our health in breathing and performing various positions. Practicing yoga will teach you to slow down and learn to focus so you make better choices while reducing your stress and anxiety. That is so very important in our crazy world. You learn to calm your inner spirit and discover a new and boundless source of energy within you. By concentrating on breathing you will learn to relax and let go of the tension and tightness. It is absolutely amazing that as runners we have never really learned how to let our breathing help us.

Secondly, with practice you will discover those tight glutes and cranky hamstrings and tight backs and shoulders will relax. Your hips and shoulders will open, allowing for full operation of all attached muscles and tendons.

Injuries mainly occur when you are out of alignment and putting stress on one area. This is due to compensation in your body trying to adjust. As you perform an assortment of poses, you will quickly discover how much inflexibility you hold in your body.You will also find increased balance and strength which is extremely important as we age.

Getting started is always the most difficult part of any new program. You have a wealth of excuses. It took Barb over 35 years but she finally did it. In this information age, she began by googling yoga routines and found a wealth of information and free you tube videos. Rachel Brathen has several 10- minute vignettes. There are so many options online, which Barb introduced me to and which she uses. Do a bit of homework and find what gets you started. Begin with a short program you can do.

If finding a program is difficult for you to

do on your own, find a class. I go to my local fitness center where the instructors let you proceed at your own speed. They know that most of us are looking for relaxation and a meaningful routine. Yoga is never about pain but going to your own edge.You only take a pose as far as you can and learn that over time you will make incredible advances going a step at a time. I take one of my classes on late Friday afternoon after a pilates class. I find the stretching we do with various motions relaxes me for the whole weekend.

As a typical runner you will not believe how tight various areas of your body are. Our instructor always asks us what is tight at the beginning of class, then she attempts to tailor our class to get to those areas. Even though I do some yoga every day, the class reinforces that we always need work especially with our running. If you make a commitment to do some yoga every day, you will be greatly rewarded. You will discover you are more centered and more aware of your body and it's connection to all you do. But it is definitely a gradual process and you have to be willing to take it slowly.

I started a second class at my fitness center and found that a different instructor will work different areas and I really found new areas of concentration. Yoga is somewhat like a journey into the interrelationship of mind, body and spirit.You can always learn more and take it as far as you like. So do yourself a favor in this new year and explore the potential of yoga for your life. It will make a huge difference.

Masters Running and Beyond To Carry or Not to Carry (a Phone That Is) - That's the Question!

I’m in the middle of a race – and my phone rings! Should I answer? Maybe I should just let it ring…

Actually, I never faced this scenario.

Because I never carry my phone during races! If I did carry it, chances are I would have been too out of breath to answer.

And also too competitive to allow myself to get a slower time because I answered a call or text in the middle of a race.

But when I volunteered at the finish line at the recent Naples Half Marathon, I was amazed how many runners pulled out their phone first thing after they finished, and started texting. Presumably they were sending messages to loved ones, saying “Honey, I made it!” or something like that. While they obviously carried their phones during the race, I would assume though that most of them didn’t use it. But surely there must have been a few exceptions, mostly runners who like to take pictures and videos while racing.

I never carry a phone while I run. Not during training runs, and definitely not during races! But seeing all those runners with phones at the Naples Half Marathon got me curious – how many of my running

By Lena Hollmann

buddies do carry their phones while they run? Maybe I am just an old “fuddy duddy” since I’m not carrying mine?

So I asked them. I did a poll among my runner friends on Facebook, asking whether they bring their phone with them during training runs, and in races. A few said right out ‘No’ or ‘Never’. So, apparently I’m not the only one who leaves mine at home at all times.

But several of my friends do bring their phones along, especially during training runs. Some only during long runs though, or at night. A few reasons why my friends carry their phones are for emergencies, to

track their run with an app such as Road ID, to communicate with family and friends, or to take pictures. Also, during long runs or runs in the woods they can provide safety and security. And if you run in an unfamiliar city and get lost, they can be a godsend! Rietta Couper of Chapel Hill, NC, said she carries her phone only during runs that are 18 miles or longer, or if she runs in an unfamiliar area since she easily gets lost. And Catherine Fitzsimmons of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia and Naples, FL, takes her phone with her on long training runs if she is picked up by a friend at the end, but never during races. “The less weight the better,” she said.

So, there are several reasons why you may want to carry your phone during training runs. All of the above makes sense to me, even though I opt to not carry a phone myself. Sometimes I wish I did though, especially if I run into a scenario worthy of a picture or a video. For example, the time in North Carolina when I ran upon a duck who patiently waited for her ducklings to jump down from a wall about three feet high. They jumped one by one,

and all five of them made it! But since I didn’t have my phone with me this sight resides in my memory only.

Races however, are another story. Most of the friends who answered my poll said they leave their phone behind while they race. And I can see why. You are not as likely to need it then, since your pace and distance are being tracked and you are very unlikely to get lost. And if emergencies arise, there are – or at least should be - volunteers on site to take care of the situation. Also, as Catherine Fitzsimmons pointed out, you don’t want to carry any extra weight. At least not if you are going for a personal best, or for what you consider a decent time. The exception would be if you run ultramarathons or races that take you into the woods and other remote areas. Or if your family and friends are so eager to hear how your race went that you want to text them as soon as you finish!

Which apparently was the case for several participants in this year’s Naples Half Marathon.

Inspired Daily Who Knew Being “Dopey” Could Be So Empowering In January 2018, I completed my first ever Dopey Challenge at Disney which consisted of the 5K on Thursday, 10K on Friday, Half Marathon on Saturday, and Marathon on Sunday. I guess after reviewing how I felt during and after the whole 48.6 experience, I felt almost like I could do anything.

As I mentioned last month, despite several weeks of missed running workouts in December, I maintained some fitness through cycling and strength training enough that I felt strong at the end of the marathon!

My whole strategy for the Dopey Challenge was to run comfortably and not put the pressure of a time goal on any of the distances. I honestly just wanted to finish it all and not have to walk. I still fought against my own internal expectations before, during, and after each day's race. Honestly that was my biggest battle, thinking about what my pace “should be” for each of the various distances. A big goal, or resolution if you will, for 2018 is to rediscover my love of running -- just for the sake of running. I will never be able to squash my competitive fire but, hopefully, find a happy place where I can go out for

a run and just enjoy it and not always have to feel like I am training for something specific.

Every day since the Dopey Challenge has been a victory! I am not on a training plan of any kind; I am just running 4-6 days a week for the enjoyment of it, to clear my head, to spend time with friends and the athletes I coach, and to enjoy the beautiful parks and preserves in my area.

Then I started thinking about the MTC Ultra 50K on February 17. It is in a beautiful park, lots of friends will be there, and I was able to run a marathon at the end of the Dopey Challenge just a few weeks ago, so why not!?! My friend JP and I signed up about two weeks prior to the

event. Neither of us have really done any true ultra training, but we have been running, I have been doing some strength training, and he has been cycling a lot. We have no time goals, so we figured why not just go out and enjoy the trails. Last year I did the 25K and enjoyed it.

Normally a 50K would make me very nervous and I would need to plan out and execute many weeks of preparation for it, but the Dopey Challenge has empowered me. I feel like I can finish this 50K as long as I don't try to run it too fast but rather enjoy the experience like I did at Dopey. This is a huge change for me. I still want to run fast and be competitive on race day, just not this race day. Race experiences can vary so much and I have always gone into race day thinking about racing as fast as I can. I still will have races like that, but I am also learning to enjoy everything else a race has to offer, whether it is time with friends, beautiful trails, character photos, being surrounded by nature, or a challenge that is “Dopey” in nature. After running and racing for 33 years, I am excited to still find new things to love and discover about this lifelong sport.

Running Journal • March, 2018

Running Psychology Imagery and Running Many people think of imagery as being visual in nature, as when you can see or imagine yourself performing a skill or being involved in an activity, such as running. However, the visual component of imagery is only a small part of performing imagery. When performing imagery all of the senses should be involved and that's why imagery is often referred to as being multi-sensory or polysensory.

Employing all of the senses is critical when using imagery training. When using imagery, the sounds, smells, physical sensations and emotions of performing need to be included. The more vivid and lifelike the image, the more useful it will be in enhancing performance.

We all use imagery every day, yet are probably unaware of it. Daydreaming could be considered a form of imagery, yet daydreaming tends not to be an effective form of imagery for improving performance. Daydreaming is a sort of random imagery and it probably has limited value as a mental training tool. To get the most out of imagery and imagery training it should be organized and planned, just like a physical training running program.

The ability to control images is critical to get the most from imagery training. By learning to manipulate and control images you can better utilize imagery to aid in both your training and racing.

Imagery can be used to improve running performance in a number of ways.

While imagery is most often linked with learning and refining closed, repetitive physical skills, like a golf swing or a free throw in basketball, imagery can be a valuable tool for a whole body, gross motor activity like running. One mental skill that many runners need to improve upon is self-confidence. Imagery can be a valuable self-confidence enhancing tool because the images that are brought into consciousness will shape the way you think about your abilities and also, the way you actually go out and perform while actually running. Repetitive images of poor performance, feeling poorly during a run or setbacks in competitive situations will bring self-confidence down and reinforce negative self-concept. All imagery concerning running should serve to enhance and nurture running self-confidence. Negative running images are like practicing what you don't want to happen with your running. So don't program your brain for negative things to occur, program your brain for positive things to happen through the use of positive imagery.

A number of imagery scenarios can aid in building self-confidence. Probably the easiest way to enhance confidence with

By Richard Ferguson, Ph.D.

imagery is to simply re-create past running success. Try imagining once again your best races or training runs. Make the images real by trying to recreate how you felt physically, the weather of the day and the sounds of the environment. Also, be sure to work on re-creating the positive emotional feelings you got from the race.

If you have an important event coming up, then work on imaging having a great performance. See yourself and feel yourself running smoothly with excellent biomechanical form. Feel yourself running with relaxation and high levels of energy. If you know the course, you can even imagine yourself pushing up the tough hills or rocketing the downhills with abandon!

Good runners will image what they want to happen, not what they are afraid might happen! By using positive, confidence

www.running.net building imagery you are actually preprograming yourself for success.

In longer races and training runs, energy management can be a critical component of success. Expending too much energy early in a race can spell disaster in the latter stages of a long event. Many runners have had the unpleasant experience of going out way too hard in the first half of a marathon and then fighting to get through the second half. One way energy is wasted is being over anxious before the race starts and too tense once the actual running begins. If you feel over anxious before a race, work on bringing forth images that serve to calm and relax. Try to image being in your favorite place where you relax away from running. Put yourself there through imagery and allow your mind to be free and calm. On the other hand, if you feel flat and unenthused before the start of a race, imagine running a great race with family and friends cheering you on as you run a new PR and reach a long sought after running goal. Again, make the imagery as realistic as possible using all of your senses.

Even during a race imagery can be effectively employed. If you feel you are running tight with ragged form, wasting a lot of unnecessary energy, then simply image the form you would like to have.

Try to imagine running with a relaxed comfortable stride, loose shoulders, relaxed face and low arm carriage. By bringing this type of image to consciousness you will actually relax as you run!

Give it a try on your next training run.

Another way imagery can aid running performance is through an increase in self-awareness. If you image a race after it

has been run you may actually learn what your weaknesses and strengths were in the race. Try to re-run the race in your mind the day after the real thing. Try to determine if you concentrated well, exhibited any negative self-talk or negative emotions during the race. You may even use the imagery to develop a more effective race plan for your next race, and after you develop the plan you can rehearse what you plan to do in the next race with imagery. Imagery training can serve as a form of dress rehearsal for your next race.

A positive concerning imagery is it can be practiced pretty much anywhere. Also, research has shown that images tend to be more vivid when you are in a relaxed state. So anytime you have a few minutes when you're able to relax you can practice a little imagery training. Car trips (Not when you're the driver!), pre-run stretching or relaxing on the sofa are all good opportunities to do imagery. A small investment of time on imagery training can have a positive effect on your running. Everyone has the ability to employ imagery as a performance enhancement technique. However, imagery is like any other skill, in that to get better at imagery it must be practiced on a regular basis. So starting today, dedicate a few minutes of each day to imagery training and make it part of your regular training program.

AFTER THE RUN CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 hour cutoff. Feet issues and stomach issues put her five minutes past her goal, but she successfully finished – and had a good time with friends, family and residents who were “whooping and hollering from their front porches” in the process.

“They seemed to enjoy the race rather than considering it an inconvenience,” Kathy shared.

Just like Katy, Jason, Natasha, and Chris, Kathy is already planning to give Celebration (the marathon) another ‘go’ again next year. In fact, the entire gang of runners recommends the race and (whether on the clock or otherwise) would likely extend a Kool & the Gang invitation for others to “Celebrate good times, and come on!” and join them on the course in 2019.

Distance Memories A Perspective on Perspective I realize it’s difficult for a runner to talk about running without ‘dropping numbers.’

After all it’s practically impossible to tell someone what you’ve accomplished in a pair of running shoes without them. (I’m still talking about numbers here—not runners because some run barefoot, wearing sandals, etc.).

It wouldn’t make much sense to tell your neighbor you ‘ran a race of considerable distance’ because that’s about as vague as telling them you don’t pass gas much. Rather, stating you ran 6.2 miles in less than 60 minutes and your pace was just less than nine-minutes per mile makes much more sense and is a lot easier for your neighbor to grasp. Plus any neighbor who isn’t tuned in to running is going to find your accomplishment impressive, mainly because you were able to do something they can’t (and most likely because it’s something they’ve never done and have no inclination to ever try) and have no earthly idea if your accomplishment is good, bad or indifferent.

This is where I come in.

But what if you had a neighbor who ran track or cross country in college and was at one time capable of a 32-minute 10K? While this neighbor may not find your time impressive, any runner (or former runner) worth his or her salt will congratulate you nonetheless.

Because that’s what runners do: They support one another, even if they have to bite their collective tongue to do it.

What do I mean by ‘bite their collective tongue?’ It’s actually quite simple. If I’ve learned anything over the miles and the years I’ve been running it’s this: No matter what you’ve accomplished in your running career, there’s someone else who has done it longer, farther, faster and more often than you ever dreamed possible.

Here are a few examples to illustrate my point. Feel free to use them later to put your

thoughts and impressions about running back into perspective. After all, that’s been my intent from the start: • Runner A tells a neighbor he drove his car to the garage to have some work done, ran the 17 miles back to his house and would run the 17 miles back to the garage when his truck was ready. Runner A’s neighbor just so happens to be a friend of Ray Zahab, who ran 4,660 miles in 2006 across the Sahara Desert in 111 days (an average of 42 miles a day).

• Runner B tells a neighbor she ran four marathons in the past 12 months. Runner B’s neighbor just so happens to be a friend of Dean Karnazes, who ran 50 marathons in 50 consecutive days in 50 states in 2006. Runner B’s neighbor also knows Larry Macon, finisher of 239 marathons. All in the same year (2013).

Not to mention 2,000 over the course of his life.

• Runner C tells a neighbor he ran every single day for an entire six months. Runner C’s neighbor just so happens to be a friend of Mark Covert, who completed a 45-year streak (that began in 1968) of running every day.

Runner C’s neighbor also knows Jon Sutherland, who assumed the longest active running streak in the country less than a year

after Mark Covert ended his in 2013.

• Runner D tells a neighbor she managed to complete a 100-mile run, the ‘hardest thing she’s ever done.’ Runner D’s neighbor just so happens to be a friend of Ed Ettinghausen, who ran 40 races of 100 miles or longer, all in the same year (2014). Runner D’s neighbor also knows Mike Morton, who ran 100 miles at a pace quicker than eight-minutes per mile, not to mention covering just over 172 miles in a 24-hour event on another occasion.

• Runner E tells a neighbor he qualified for the 100-mile Western States Endurance Run. Runner E’s neighbor just so happens to be a friend of both Tim Twietmeyer (25 sub-24 hour finishes at Western States including five overall wins) and Ann Trason (14 wins at Western States).

Obviously in all five of these examples exists an entire spectrum of performances between the numbers the runners ‘dropped’ and the accomplishments of the various friends and acquaintances of their respective neighbors.

As I said before when you are talking about running you always need to keep things in perspective because there will always be someone who has done it longer, farther, faster and more often than you.

Unless someone specifically asks you for your numbers … time, distance, pace —it doesn’t matter … it’s wise to keep them to yourself. Don’t expose yourself to the risk of being ‘one upped.’

It’s a game where no one wins.

Just remember: When it comes to running the only one you have to impress — the only one you need to impress — is you.

Scott Ludwig has been an avid runner since 1978; in fact the last day he didn’t run was November 29 of that year — he’s run every day since. Scott is the author of 13 books, nine of them about running. His latest book, Running Out of Gas was released in January 2018 by Meyer and Meyer Publishers. His books can be found in Barnes and Noble stores as well as on Amazon. Scott lives, runs and writes in Senoia, Georgia where he lives with his wife, Cindy, and their three cats. In his free time he enjoys being ‘G-Pa’ to his grandson Krischan, something he’s been training for his entire life.

MASTERS RUNNING...

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 You may also opt to carry your phone in mega races, or in races where there is a bag check. Mary Iamurri of Naples, FL, carries her phone during marathons, especially the large races with thousands of participants. This is so that she can connect with her friends after the race. And not everybody feels comfortable leaving their phones at a bag check. Some also prefer not to leave it in their cars or hotel rooms. It all depends on the circumstances of course, and sometimes the best option is to leave your phone with a friend who’s accompanying you but not running. And if you travel solo, the best or only option might be to carry your phone during the race.

Same goes for rental car keys, by the way. They weigh a ton, or at least so it seems! I was running a half marathon in Michigan a few years ago, and had rented a car to get around, including to the starting line. I was given two car keys that were securely locked onto a holder that I couldn’t separate them from. The race was point to point, so there was a bag check. I could either check my keys plus holder or carry them in a pouch around my waist. I opted for the latter, and still managed to win the Senior Grandmasters (age 60+) division!

So, maybe it doesn’t differ that much whether or not you carry your phone (or car keys) during a race. The weight of your phone will not make it or break it - unless of course, you are an elite runner and a lot is at stake. Shalane Flanagan did not carry a phone during her winning performance at last year’s New York City Marathon, for example!

It all depends, and varies by person and circumstances whether or not we “should” bring a phone while we run.

The biggest challenge may actually be how to carry it, especially here in Florida where it’s usually too warm to run with clothing that has pockets. Lori Reckley of Marco Island, FL, solves the dilemma by carrying her phone in a fanny pack.

But maybe Kim Braschwitz of Chapel Hill, NC, a former marathoner, sums it all up the best: “Isn’t that the point of running… to get away from everything!”

Runners chase records at Winter Flight 8K on January 28

By DAVID FREEZE SALISBURY, NC - Eluid Ngetich, from Eldoret, Kenya, had set the current course record of 23:07 at the Winter Flight 8K in 2015. He returned in an attempt to better that time on Jan. 28, but had lingering flu-like symptoms and overall tiredness following 40 hours of traveling from Eldoret to Nairobi, Kenya, then on to Charlotte by way of New York City before finally arriving in Salisbury at nearly 9pm on Saturday night. Ngetich said, “Wh en I was warming up, I felt it and I knew this was not going to be a record breaking day. I gave myself hope that I've sometimes done well even on bad days. I went through the first mile and didn't feel good. During the second mile I picked it up well and tried to push harder but it wasn't good enough. From there, I just decided to enjoy the rest of the race. All in all, it wasn't my day. Crossed the finish line smiling at least for winning!!”Ngetich was the overall winner in 24:36, about two minutes off his expected performance and personal best of 22:42.

Things did work out for 85year-old Grant Egley of Lake Waccamaw, NC. Egley wanted to establish the 85-89 8K age group record and came to Salisbury specifically to do it. While his time was a little slower than expected at 56:58, Egley should receive notification of the pending record in the next few weeks.

In possibly the race of the day, 11-year-old Emberleigh PauleyBrown blitzed the 4.97 mile course in 38:04. She said, “This was my first 8K race and it was amazing Emberleigh Pauley-Brown with the rolling hills adding a Photo by David Lamanno sense of enjoyment. The rain made it so much fun and I loved the course. Running the 8K was a lot different than 5K’s and I really like the longer distance. I came off the course smiling while knowing I had done a good job!”

Second place for the men was Ryan Jank of Mooresville, NC with a time of 26:16 while third went to Orinthal Striggles of Columbia, SC in 27:37.

The top women were Shawanna White of Columbia with a time of 29:23, followed by Molly Nunn of Winston-Salem, NC in 30:07 and Kelly Lowman of Salisbury in 34:19.

White capped a busy weekend with her fastest Winter Flight 8K. She said, “Fun times running in the rain around the city of Salisbury! I ran two 5K’s yesterday and to run faster than my 20178K time today is a good sign.

I am heading in the right direction toward running the Olympic trials standard in the marathon for 2020. The Winter Flight 8K/5K/Fun run is a great event for the Grant Egley whole family!”
