A Little Overconfident and Under Prepared Knowing your limitations and being a smart runner are meant to be compliments but can be difficult to hear when you just dropped out of your first 50K and feel like a failure.

I ran conservatively behind the lead female for two of the four 7.75 mile loops then took the lead about a third of the way through the third loop and felt great. I was just running the pace that felt right, comfortable for me. I really tried to ignore what the other runners were doing, other than on those first two laps when I held back to stay behind the leader.

On that third lap, I hit approximately the 22 mile mark and started feeling dizzy and chilled so I decided to walk the last 1.5 miles back to the start/finish pavilion that we passed on each loop.

While walking the last 1.5 miles, I went back and forth trying to decide if I should attempt the fourth loop or quit at three. I was in the lead! I should definitely try to finish that fourth loop, right? But the more I walked, the more chilled I felt and then the cramps started to kick in. Why push it? Seriously, why? It's a local 50K at a beautiful park that I am running for myself. Who cares what anyone else thinks. Who cares what the results say. I put my ego aside and listened to my body.

Three cups of Coca-Cola and a handful of Goldfish crackers later, I changed into my recovery tights and dry clothes but still had the chill. After talking with a couple of experienced ultra runners, I felt better about my decision. One literally said, “It is smart to listen to your body and you are a very smart runner!” That's a pretty nice compliment. So here I am with a DNF at my second ultra attempt.

My first ultra was a successful 57 miler in June of 2012. But I have not yet finished an official 50K. There's another local trail 50K in April of this year. I am considering it. However ultras in southwest Florida are tough outside of our very short window of “winter” during the months of December and January.

I did learn several things I can do better preparing for my next 50K so thankfully my DNF did result in something positive.

I need to train specifically for the 50K, like I did for my 57 miler back in 2012. I should not schedule my next ultra attempt on the morning after a long, late track meet. As much as I try to hydrate during a track meet, I can never quite drink enough it seems. I am on my feet the entire track meet, focused on my athletes, standing and walking back and forth for hours. During the race I need to start hydrating earlier and start my nutrition earlier.

By Rae Ann Darling Reed

The most important thing I will take away from this 50K attempt is to listen to my body; it really has a lot to tell me!

Even days after the race, I learned from the severe low back and right quad pain I was experiencing that I needed to alternate the sides of the trail I was running on way more than I did. And I needed to train on soft sand similar to the trails at this park so my body was prepared for that extremely uneven surface. I was definitely a little overconfident in my preparedness going in and definitely under prepared, but once the disappointment of not finishing this 50K passes, I will be proud of the fact that I was a smart runner and did listen to my body.

This Running Life Despite a car strike, cancer scares and Hawaiian missile Crisis, Maureen Bowen keeps running

Maureen runs the Umstead Ultra Marathon in 2017

Challenges make good teachers Maureen Bowen has met more than her fair share of challenges during her running life, and she wants people to know the lessons she has learned over the last 11 years, across the thousands of miles she has run, the pounds she has lost, and the cancers she is living through. It's emotional for her, and she tears up a little bit when she describes them: Lesson number 1: I am stronger than I thought I was. You never know how strong you are until you have to be strong.

Lesson number 2: You never know how good your friends are or how many friends you have until you are in that kind of situation (her health). I had people coming out of the woodwork for me. It was unbelievable.

I'll always be grateful, and I'll never take that for granted.

Lesson number 3: I was 100-pounds heavier when running saved my life the first time, and running saved my life a second time. When I went through breast cancer and ovarian cancer, I was trained for a 100-mile run, so I was in top endurance shape. I am on cancer message boards and people are posting how they can't walk, and they can't do this and that, and they're sick. So I think running and training for a 100-miler mentally and physically has totally saved my life.

Last January, Maureen Bowen had found a rock on the warm sands of Waikiki Beach. It was her last day in Honolulu before she was scheduled to fly to Maui for a half marathon, the 46th state she had to conquer in her quest to complete a half marathon in all 50 states – for the second time.

“I’m sitting on Waikiki Beach. I had my journal. I had an organic smoothie,” she said. “I was thinking this was an awesome place to write in my journal, and two minutes later everybody’s phones went off.’”

A text message on her phone alerted her to a ballistic missile strike that seemed inevitable at the time.

It’s early February, and I’m sitting in a Raleigh restaurant with Maureen. We’re munching on a light dinner as she discusses the crazy journey that has made her into a runner – and a survivor.

After losing 100 pounds, completing a half marathon in 50 states, which was almost thwarted when she was hit by a car during a race, running three ultramarathons, which included covering 50 miles of the Umstead 100-Mile Endurance Run while suffering from two different types of cancer, Maureen had endured two surgeries, several rounds of radiation and six months of chemotherapy. The Maui half marathon was going to be her big comeback race and suddenly, with the ring of a text message, she thought her world was coming to an end once and for all.

Maureen describes herself as a good athlete during her growing up years in Indianapolis. She excelled in softball and won a college scholarship to pitch for Indiana University-Purdue University in her hometown. But after graduating from college she hung up her ball glove and got on with her life – for two decades.

Then she took up running to improve her health.

“I didn’t do my first half marathon until I was 42,” she said.

She started out walking, and completed her first half marathon – the former Mardi Gras Marathon/Half Marathon in New Orleans in 3:45. She finished her second half marathon in 3:15. Then she got the bug.

“At that time, I wasn’t crazy, as I say I am now,” she said. “I would do two half marathons in a year and think that was a lot, and now, if I don’t do two in a weekend, people look at me like ‘what’s wrong with you?’”

Maureen’s life as a casual runner changed when she met Eric Johnson, a

By Teri Saylor

well-known Raleigh runner who has a prolific resume of over 200 marathons, including marathons in all 50 states.

“He was telling me about finishing his 50th in Alaska, and I started thinking,” Maureen said. “I had done a half marathon in Indy when I lived there. I did one in North Carolina, I did one in Florida, and while I was sitting there adding up my races the whole time he was talking to me, I realized I had eight states and I thought ‘I could do this.’”

She was 45 when she set her goal to finish 50 half marathons in all 50 states by her 50th birthday. She had a special race bib made, and every time she finished a state, she noted it on that bib.

When Maureen says she “caught the running bug,” she’s not kidding. She focused like a laser beam on her 50 states and like a freight train, she barreled through those states, finishing two years ahead of schedule. She was 48 years old.

“One year I did 34 half marathons and finished 30 states in a year,” she said.

Finishing 30 states in a single year puts you on the highest level of the Half Fanatics organization, she explained.

The Half Fanatics is part of the Marathon Maniacs organization whose members measure their level of craziness in how many races they complete during a designated amount of time.

“The highest level of craziness is 30 states in a year, or 52 half marathons, no matter where,” she said.

Maureen’s goal to reach the Half Fanatics’ loftiest level of craziness was nearly thwarted when a car hit her just three miles into her 29th state in St. Louis, Mo. She happened to be closing in on her deadline to finish her 30th half marathon in one year and couldn’t afford to waste a single race.

“It was icy, and a gentleman was driving very slowly, but he slid and hit me from behind, and I went up on the hood of his car and came off on the other side. The poor man was more upset and petrified

EAT WELL, RUN WELL

How To Gain Weight Healthfully “No matter what I eat, I can’t seem to gain weight...”

“What about those weight gain powders … do they work?”

“How much more protein should I eat to help me bulk up?”

Although most runners thrive on leanness, a handful of skinny runners feel very frustrated by their seeming inability to gain weight. Their struggle to add a few pounds is on par with that of over-fat folks who work hard to lose a few pounds. Add in rigorous training for a marathon, and scrawny runners fear that no matter how much they eat, they’ll get even skinnier.

Clearly, genetics plays a powerful role in why some runners have so much trouble not only gaining weight, but also maintaining any weight they manage to add. “Hard gainers” tend to be fidgety. They rarely sit, to say nothing of sit still.

They are constantly puttering around, or when sitting, they are tapping their fingers, swinging their legs, twirling their hair, and shifting around in the chair. All of these activities burn calories that commonly end up in the midriff of calmer runners who can sit motionless for hours.

If you are a hard gainer, you might have been told that consuming an extra 500 to 1,000 calories per day will lead to gaining 1 to 2 pounds per week. Unfortunately, Nature often confounds this mathematical approach. For example, in a weight gain study where the subjects were overfed by 1,000 calories per day for 100 days, some subjects gained only 9 pounds, whereas others gained 29 pounds (1).

How could that be? The answer likely relates to NonExercise Activity Thermogenesis (N.E.A.T.), the technical term for spontaneous movements that naturally occur in fidgety people. When you overfeed a fidgety person, they can become even more active, as if Nature wants them to burn off those calories.

Seven Tips to Gain Weight Healthfully Fret not; even very lean runners can gain some weight when they systematically enhance their diet. Although they cannot change their genetics and their tendency to fidget, they can boost their calorie intake. If you are a scrawny runner, have a teenage eating-machine who wants to weigh more, or are trying to bulk up for added power, here are some tips to help you gain weight healthfully.

1. Eat consistently. Do NOT skip meals; doing so means you’ll miss out on important calories needed to reach your goal. Every day, enjoy a breakfast, an early lunch, a later lunch, dinner, and a bedtime meal. This might mean breakfast at 7:00, lunch at 11:00, second lunch at 3:00, dinner at 7:00, and a protein-rich bedtime snack at 10:00.

2. Eat larger than normal portions. Instead of having one sandwich for lunch, have two. Enjoy a taller glass of milk, bigger bowl of cereal, and larger piece of fruit.

3. Select higher calorie foods. Read food labels to discover which wholesome foods offer more calories. For example, cranapple juice has more calories than orange juice (170 vs.

110 calories per 8 ounces); granola has more calories than Cheerios (500 vs. 100 calories per cup); corn more calories than green beans (140 vs. 40 calories per cup).

4. Drink lots of 100% fruit juice and low-fat (chocolate) milk. Instead of quenching your thirst with water, choose calorie-containing fluids. By having milk with each meal, you can easily add 300 to 600 wholesome calories a day.

One high school soccer player gained 13 pounds over the

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

summer by simply quenching his thirst with six glasses of cranapple juice instead of water (1,000 vs. 0 calories). He consumed the fluid he needed (juice is 98% water) and bonus of more carbohydrates to refuel his depleted muscles, plus a good dose of vitamin C to enhance healing.

5. Enjoy peanut butter, nuts, avocado, and olive oil. These foods are high in (health-promoting) fats. They’re a positive addition to your sports diet; they help knock down inflammation. Their high fat content means they’re calorie-dense.

To boost good fats, add almonds to cereal & salads, spread extra peanut butter on the PB&J sandwich, dive into the guacamole with baked chips, and add extra olive oil dressing to your salads. That’s an easy extra 500+ calories/day.

6. Do strengthening exercise as well as some cardio.

Weight lifting and push-ups stimulate muscle growth so that you bulk-up instead of fatten up. Plus, exercise stimulates your appetite and, sooner or later, you’ll want to eat more.

Exercise also increases thirst, so you will want to drink extra juices and caloric fluids.

Take note: You will not build bigger muscles by eating extra protein. While you want to target a protein-rich food with 20 to 30 grams protein at each meal (and 10 to 15/snack), having more will not build bigger muscles.

Resistance exercise builds muscles. To have the energy to do the muscle-building training, you need extra carbs. That’s where drinking more 100% fruit juice and chocolate milk offer benefits; you’ll be better-fueled and better able to lift heavier weights.

7. Don’t bother to buy expensive weight gain drinks. A hefty PB&J with a tall glass of chocolate milk adds about 1,000 calories for about $2.00. You would spend at least $10 get-ting those calories from Muscle Milk.

Conclusion: By following these tips, you should see progress, but honor your genetics. Most runners do gain weight with age as they become less active, more mellow, and have more time to eat. Granted, that information doesn’t help you today, but it offers optimism (or a warning) for your future physique!

Running Journal • April, 2018

Learning from the Young Guns Historic Field Set for Boston At the 2014 Boston Marathon. Meb Keflezighi delivered one of the most important wins in the history of US marathon running. That victory, coming one year after the tragic Boston Marathon bombing, transcended sport. It was the first time an American man had won the race in 31 years, but it also lifted up a city and a country still coping with tragedy.

We are unlikely to ever witness a victory so powerful again at Boston or anywhere else. But it has been 33 years since an American woman has won the Boston Marathon, longer than the drought Meb broke in 2014 on the men's side, and the American field for this year's race is arguably the best US field ever assembled. Breaking the 33-year-old US winning drought will be a tall task with 3 former champions in the race, but with 4 of the 6 fastest Americans of all time in the field Patriot's Day 2018 is sure to be compelling.

Coming off her historic win at the New York City Marathon in November, Shalane Flanagan will be looking to make it two in a row in Boston. With her win at New York she became only the fifth American winner of all time and the first in 40 years. Having written a fitting final chapter to an illustrious career she contemplated retirement, but for Flanagan, a Massachusetts native, the temptation of taking one more crack at winning Boston was too strong. She has run fearlessly in Boston before, including a memorable performance in 2014 where she led for nearly 20 miles at course record pace before finishing sixth. However, it was her patience and vicious finish in New York that earned Flanagan her first major title. If she is able to produce a final 5 miles in Boston similar to what she did in New York, Flanagan will be difficult to beat.

The part of this race that is so exciting is that while Flanagan has to be considered the favorite on the American side, it is entirely possible that an American not named Shalane Flanagan wins on April 16. Molly Huddle made her marathon debut in New York in 2016 with a very impressive third place finish. While she hasn't run another marathon since, she has been busy winning national titles and breaking American records. Most recently Huddle broke Deena Kastor's Half Marathon American record, running 1:07:25 at Houston in January. She also holds the 10,000m American Record at 30:13, a record she took from Flanagan,

By Ryan Warrenburg, ZAP Fitness

and is a 25-time US Champion on the roads and the track. Huddle will need to take a step forward from her debut in 2016 to contend for the win in Boston, but her pedigree suggests she's only going to get better at the distance.

Another American contender, Jordan Hasay, shocked the running world in Boston a year ago when she unexpectedly finished 3rd in a blistering 2:23:00, destroying the American debut record by nearly 3 minutes. Hasay was a prodigal talent in high school, qualifying for the Olympic Trials as a junior in high school, but it wasn't until last year's Boston Marathon where she fully realized her potential. There is nothing quite like watching the unexpected unfold in real time, and in 2017 as Hasay persisted in a lead pack that mile by mile dwindled to 3, an American marathon star was born before our eyes. Hasay followed that performance up with an equally stunning race in Chicago last October where she was once again finished 3rd, but jumped to second all-time on the US list with a time of 2:20:57. Hasay will be looking to take yet another step forward in her young marathon career, but she won't be surprising anyone in Newton this year.

Last year, before Hasay stole the show, the focus on the American side was on two-time Olympian Desi Linden. Desi went on to record her 2nd fourth place

finish in Boston, but before the race she spoke plainly about being there to win, and her expectation will undoubtedly be the same this year. While Huddle and Hasay have the potential to put together incredible marathon careers, Desi, like Flanagan, has already done it. The only thing missing from her rĂŠsumĂŠ at age 34 is something it took Flanagan 36 years to achieve, a signature global win. Having posted 7 top 5 finishes at World Marathon Majors and twice placed 2nd at the US Olympic Marathon Trials, Linden has her sights firmly set on winning. Despite not winning a major marathon or US Championship she has proven she's capable. In the 2011 Boston Marathon she was agonizingly close, finishing 2nd by a mere 2 seconds, the 2nd closest margin of victory in Boston history. In that race she displayed the tenacity and strength needed to win, and her time of 2:22:38 would have been fast enough to win all but 5 Boston's in history. A win for Desi Linden would be another storybook ending for one of America's marathon legends.

Deena Kastor, the long time American record holder at 2:19:36, will also be competing. And while at age 45 her days of winning major marathons are over, don't forget she did set the American Master's Record of 2:27:47 just two and a half years ago in Chicago. Other Americans to keep an eye on are Sara Hall, the 2017 US National Champion with a PR of 2:27:21 and Serena Burla, a 2:26:53 marathoner who is coming off leg surgery in August to remove a reoccurrence of a cancerous tumor.

With 3 former champions and the 2016 Olympic silver medalist in the field, an American victory is far from assured, even with a historic group of women competing. One thing is for sure however; if you aren't toeing the line in Boston on

April 16, this will be a race you won't want to miss.

Running Psychology

Receiving Cheers With New Names Mental Running Recovery As the lead singer of the late 90s group, Destiny's Child, Beyonce' Knowles belted out the lyrics, “Say my name, say my name,” on more than one occasion. As competing athletes in area road races, runners often find motivation in hearing their own names called out by cheering spectators during events.

While it is likely that Beyonce's lyrics could be heard along the recent Sarasota Music Half Marathon & Rockin' 10k course in Florida, it is likely that some of the participating runners didn't hear their own names being called out. That's because spectators often rely on the boldly printed names that appear on the front of race bib numbers to learn the names of approaching athletes.

It's not that the Sarasota Music Half Marathon didn't have names on their bibs, it's just that many of the names were not the actual names of the runners wearing the bibs. Allow me to explain.

The day before Super Bowl Sunday, my dad and I pulled into packet pick-up for the half marathon, and approached the pre-registered runner table to obtain our bibs. After using the computer to locate my pre-assigned bib number, I called my number out to the volunteer behind the table and she, in turn, handed

Mary Marcia and her dad, Will, post-race.

me a bib. The name “AMY” boldly appeared in the middle of the bib.

“Oh, that's not my bib,” I told the volunteer, pointing to the three-letter name beneath the three-digit number. “My name is Mary Marcia,” I said.

“That's your bib,” the lady responded.

“We just had a printing problem with some of the bibs,” she explained.

“Come on, Amy!” my dad yelled, walking into the running store where we were directed to get our race shirts.

I laughed as I joined my dad, and then asked to see his bib. Where one would have expected to see the name “Will” beneath his number, a boldly printed,

Much has been written in scholarly journals and even popular running publications concerning fatigue and overtraining in runners. If training load is high and recovery from the training is compromised in some way then a state of overtraining may exist. Most people seem to concentrate on the physiology of overtraining and fatigue while ignoring the psychological aspect. In many cases runners are not actually running too much, they're simply not properly recovering from the running they are doing. Physical and psychological factors can inhibit the ability to recover and adapt to training.

More emphasis should be placed on recovery rather than on miles run when discussing fatigue and possible over training.

When looking at a training program, it's important to consider much more than miles run per week or the intensity of the running. Running is a stress on the human body, so other types of stress in runner's lives must be taken into consideration as well. Stress is cumulative, no matter if it's running related or life related. Non-training stressors can have a huge impact on any training program. Runners do have a life outside of running and life events and life styles can add more stress on top of what is already experienced through training.

Think about other stressors in life besides running. Lifestyle stressors such as hours of sleep per night, pace of a daily schedule, commuting, nutrition, alcohol consumption, housing conditions, interpersonal relations and leisure activities can all influence training and recovery.

Stressors from the living environment can also have a huge impact on a training program. Family interactions, roommates, teammates, coaches and social contacts can all add stress if there are conflicts occurring in the relationships. Add in health factors like colds, gastrointestinal disorders etc., and you have even more stress added to the equation. Anytime there is a demand placed upon us, whether it is physical or mental, there will be an energy drain in the form of stress.

In most cases we handle the stressors placed upon us quite well. We adapt to the stressors and our fitness levels increase with training, and at the same time, we remain happy and well adjusted socially and emotionally. However, there are times when the stress of everyday existence becomes too great for the body to make an adaptation and it's at these times when a training program can be thrown in into a state of utter disarray.

Training stress alone, in most cases, is easily handled. When extreme fatigue or

By Richard Ferguson, Ph.D.

overtraining does occur it may not be due to the training load per say, but to that training load with other stressors added in. For example, if you are putting in regular 50-mile weeks you may feel just fine.

However, if unexpected stressors are added, like more responsibility at work, family arguments, or illness, then the total impact of all these stressors is too much to handle and you begin to feel constantly fatigued and irritable and running performance suffers. If each stressor occurred alone there would be no problem handling it, but the combination of training with other stressors added overwhelms the body's capacity to adapt and recover.

Not only does the stress of life affect physical training, it may affect the recovery from training even more. The case may be that we could handle many stressors at once just fine if we were able to improve our recovery. That's why any runners should ponder the point as to whether they are really overtrained, or are they under recovered? Too often we focus only on the physical training and not on the recovery.

So just how can we maximize our recovery and prevent chronic fatigue and possible overtraining syndrome? While every runner is different, here are a few ideas to enhance recovery from a mental point of view.

Sleep and rest are absolutely essential for recovery. While many recommend eight hours of sleep a night, more may be needed during heavy training or during periods of high stress. Catch a short nap during the day if possible. A short snooze of 15-20 minutes can help refresh you.

Naps of any length, if they can be squeezed in, aid in recovery. Also, be sure to PLAN a rest day from time to time into your training. This may mean taking a day totally off from running or taking a very, very light day. It may take some mental discipline to take a day off, but sometimes a day off from training can give both the body and the psyche a much needed recovery period. Maybe use the time away

Down the Road Female Participation In Road Races If you've been running or participating, or even just watching road races for a while, you might have noticed that there has been a big change in who participates.

When Kathy and I started running races back in 1978 there were always a lot more male than female participants.

But things change with time. Back then there were not a lot of races. So runners frequently had to travel long distances to find a race. Plus most races didn't keep much in the way of records and sometimes not even results. Now there are lots of races, some on almost every weekend of the year, with a lot more participants than in the old days.

I think all the races now show more female participation, and I know it is a trend nationwide. But looking at the South Carolina race for which I have almost all the statistics (since I wrote a book about it) it is easy to trace the growth and changes in male versus female participants.

The first Cooper River Bridge Run 10K had 14.8 percent female participants. The most recent Bridge Run had 59.6 female participants. I won't belabor the point, but female participation has grown almost

every one of the 40 Bridge Runs held so far. This probably applies to most other races as well.

The chart below shows the numbers and percentages for every Bridge Run. The highest in each category is underlined and in bold type. I hope you enjoy looking over it. Maybe we'll see you at the 40th Bridge Run this April. Will women break the 60 percent barrier in 2018?

Women’s Running

Quoting Callahan

One More Way To Improve Your Running

A man’s got to know his limitations.

Simple yet brilliant, those were the words spoken by Inspector Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) in 1973’s Magnum Force.

I bring it up because I’ve learned to follow his advice and recognize the fact that I do in fact have limitations, a thought that never crossed my mind in my first 63 years on earth. There was a time when I was able to run a marathon at the drop of a hat. Regardless of if I was tired, sick or injured I simply knew I was capable of running 26.2 miles if I had to.

Not any more.

Case in point: I was in Gainesville, Florida on the second Sunday in February for the Five Points of Life Marathon. A few years ago two other gentlemen and I were profiled in the Gainesville Sun — the local newspaper, as the only three runners who ran the marathon each of its first 10 years. That was then.

This is now: I’m at the race to support my friend Ferit, whom I coincidentally met at the marathon’s expo in 2008 as I was conducting a clinic. Ferit and his wife Gizem have been friends of the family ever since, and if I do say so myself Ferit has turned into quite a runner. I decided I would meander along the course to see him at various points along the way.

On a personal note, I knew that I was in no shape to run a marathon. Not because of being tired, sick or injured but rather because I simply wasn’t ready…whatever that might mean.

As we were heading to the starting line, Ferit realized he left his race bib at home. He phoned Gizem and they agreed to meet at the site of the runner’s expo, less than half a mile from where we had parked. Despite a 7-mile drive, Gizem miraculously appeared at our rendezvous spot ahead of us. She hopped out of her car and ran towards Ferit with his bib in her hand and a smile on her face. As far as I’m concerned that makes her the frontrunner for this year’s Wife of the Year award, if not qualifying her for Sainthood.

As the race started I cut across University Avenue, glancing to my left to the spot where the original Athletic Attic resided … the store where I bought my first pair of running shoes almost 40 years ago. I met Ferit at the five-mile mark and noted he was on target for his goal of three hours, an aggressive goal

By Scott Ludwig

on a day that would reach 80 degrees before long.

I stopped at the Krispy Kreme on 13th Street, something I promised myself I would do if the ‘Hot and Fresh’ lights were illuminated. I ordered a creamfilled glazed doughnut and noticed the price for a single glazed doughnut was the same price I paid for a dozen when I was a student at the University of Florida. That may explain why I ballooned up to 195 pounds before I graduated.

I knew I didn’t have long to catch Ferit at the 10-mile mark so I was in sort of a rush. Unfortunately the four people behind the counter didn’t seem to notice I needed to get going so I said ‘I’m only here for a doughnut, not a home mortgage’ which, in hindsight still didn’t seem to get them moving any quicker.

Lucky for them the doughnut was absolutely exquisite.

After missing Ferit at 10 miles I set my sights on seeing him at mile 15 on Archer Road, near Shands Teaching Hospital. When Ferit came barreling through — still on pace for three hours, I ran with him … for about three paces.

I stayed on the marathon course for a couple of miles before deciding to deviate from the route because it was getting downright embarrassing hearing the volunteers and the police along the course offering their encouragement and congratulations as I passed them by. Even though I wasn’t wearing a race number they thought I was one of the marathoners.

As I veered from the course and crossed a busy street one of the policemen called me over and told me it was against the law to cross the street anywhere other than a crosswalk. I thought to myself that when I was at the university crossing a busy street qualified as a major; now it seems it was a misdemeanor. My how times have changed.

As I am in my 40th year of running, one would think there are really no new tricks to improve our running. But as I have become more age challenged I attempt to pick those things that will help me continue running for another 40 years!

I must admit that running has changed very little for me over the years, except for the fact that I no longer set personal bests, but personal worsts. But I keep getting up, putting on my shoes and travelling out the door every morning for my running fix. Although I continue to do way too many miles, I actually enjoy every run and find running has kept me sane in these years of drastic change. I do not use a GPS watch or listen to music. I do not own a treadmill and actually treasure the change of weather and seasons as I venture through north Georgia. I will say the clothing available today definitely beats the gear of the past. You can find clothing for any type of weather or temperature. And the clothing is very comfortable.

But I digress on the topic of this column. Last month I encouraged you to try yoga. This month I am going to give you a few reasons for adding a pilates routine to your training. When I finished the Las Vegas Marathon about a decade ago, my dear husband was taking photos and commented that I looked like a little old lady crossing the finish line. Needless to say I was not amused but when I saw the pictures he took I was totally horrified. I was hunched over just like a very old lady. It is a wonder that I could even move forward so bent over.

As I discovered watching marathon finishes for the non professional runners, I found many runners were also struggling with the same problem. And many of them were not age challenged! I called my chosen daughter Colleen DeReuck, who also happens to be a four-time Olympian and a personal trainer. She immediately diagnosed what appears to be a common problem. My core was weak, and as I got tired during a marathon it began a slow collapse leading to the "old lady" look.

Now if you will take a look at the professional runners, you will see that they all have the "six pack" appearance in their mid-section. This does not come through genetics or magic but is a result of very extensive work to strengthen their core muscles.

Your core is a dynamo. All the muscles in your core are work to stabilize your

spine, which in turn keeps you stable and upright. A weak core definitely causes you to hunch over, ultimately leading to inefficient running form. You cut off efficient breathing, and drain your energy reserves trying to fight bad posture. Once you strengthen your core, you'll have a lot of extra energy because you're not fighting gravity.

Thus you should consider adding Pilates. Each Pilates move targets not only the “six-pack” ab muscles (namely, the rectus abdominis and obliques), but also the glutes and the deep core muscles that support your spine. As a result, you build greater core strength and control, which leads to improved posture and a more efficient running form. Runners with weaknesses in the deeper core muscles that support the spine also tend to have lower back pain over time.

I bought a Pilates DVD and began doing the Pilates exercises. I was absolutely amazed as I began developing my own Yoga/Pilates routine. Within a few weeks I was "taller" and stronger in my core. Over the years I have fine tuned my routine and I am back to taking yoga and Pilates classes twice a week. My very next marathon, Steve noticed a marked difference. My spine was straight as I finished and I did have more energy as my breathing was not being impeded.

I know you have limited training time, but do Pilates moves for five to 10 minutes before you run. Pilates is so intense and focused, you can do a lot in a short time once you learn to do the moves properly. This is where a class comes in handy as you need to do the exercises with good form. Believe me your back will begin to feel much better and your running form will improve.

I took one of Colleen's classes in Boulder last spring and she was amazed how well I could keep up with her gym rat athletes who were all in their 20s and 30s.

THIS RUNNING LIFE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 than I was,” she recounted. But she convinced the driver she was okay and kept going.

“I didn’t get hurt, and I was at the 5K mark and if I had stopped, I would have missed my goal,” she said. “He said someone needed to come pick me up and I said ‘no, they’re not.’ I’m going to finish this race, and I did. I wasn’t even last. I finished in under three hours. So now if anyone ever asks me if I have ever been hit by a car and still finished a race I can say ‘yes, I have.’”

It’s not just setting goals that fuels Maureen’s fire and keeps her running. She runs for her health, and she runs to prove the haters wrong, first losing 100 pounds and then fighting social stigmas that often come with the extra pounds.

“I was running well, and I had lost a lot of weight, so I was excited to go to athletic apparel stores and buy clothes that would fit me,” she said.

So she picked out Athleta in a local mall and encountered a sales clerk who appeared to be her own size. She wanted a pair of compression shorts, and asked if their store carried them in her size. The sales clerk responded by calling Maureen “a fluffy girl” and reported they didn’t carry shorts in her size.

“That bugged me because I had accomplished this big weight loss, and I felt like I could go shopping in that store, and because they didn’t have the inventory, I was called ‘fluffy,’” Maureen said.

And thus, “Team Fluffy” was born. So many of Maureen friends have joined her in solidarity, she is branding the name and taking orders for special “Team Fluffy” athletic clothes, including visors, hats, sparkle skirts and shorts.

Eventually, Maureen set her sights on completing an ultra-marathon. Many of her friends had run 100 miles in the Umstead 100-Mile Endurance Run, so she trained hard, putting in the miles as she ran loop after loop in the park on weekends. On the big day, dehydration led to nausea and she settled for a metric century (62 miles) on that day.

She knew she could do better than that, so five weeks after her first attempt in Umstead, she put on her determination hat, snuck out of Raleigh without telling anyone what she was planning, and completed a 100-mile run in Greenville, S.C. Last spring, Maureen returned to Umstead, determined to finish. She felt strong and happy, even though she was scheduled for surgery two days after the race to remove an early stage breast cancer. During the first quarter of the race, she started feeling symptoms of a urinary tract infection, and after covering 50 miles, she had to stop.

A month after her surgery, she was starting to run again, but the stubborn UTI

Running Journal • April, 2018 would not go away, and doctors feared she had appendicitis. An MRI led to a diagnosis of stage 3 ovarian cancer.

“So now I feel kind of good about Umstead, even though I only finished 50 miles and didn’t make my goal,” she said, in her typical glass-half-full attitude.

“How many people have had breast cancer and ovarian cancer and still ran and walked 50 miles?”

Maureen did well with her chemotherapy, continuing to work as a product expert during her treatment, and walking whenever she felt like it.

Maui was to be her comeback. She was ready for it.

Then she was on the beach with other tourists when the text messages started.

“Everybody’s phones went off, and we kind of looked at each other like ‘is this for real?” she said. “And then you think about it and knowing the global political climate, you think well yes, it could be real,” she reasoned.

So she gathered her things and started searching for a place that seemed safe.

She chose a parking deck next to a spa at a nearby hotel. With no experience in dealing with ballistic missiles, she reasoned the destruction could be like a tornado.

“If it’s nuclear, we’re all going to go anyway, and there’s nothing we can do about that, but if it’s shrapnel, this concrete on the ground floor of the parking deck is the best place I could be,” she reasoned.

While she was concerned, she wasn’t afraid, and at the same time she was skeptical.

“We didn’t hear sirens go off, only the phones, and so I think it would have been a much more escalated environment if people had heard the sirens,” she said.

A hotel employee came out and saw her hunkered down in the parking lot and asked her what she was doing there. After Maureen explained she thought she was in a safe place should a missile strike happen, the worker left and came back about 20 minutes later to tell her it was a false alarm. A few minutes after that, she received another text message cancelling the alert.

She was incredulous.

“For about 10 seconds after the alert I thought ‘are you kidding me? I went through breast cancer, which escalated into ovarian cancer, and now a ballistic missile? Are you kidding me? Can I just have tomorrow? Can I just get this race tomorrow?”

In the end, she did. She walked the entire thing with a friend. She has four more states to go to complete her second round of 50 states, and plans to wrap up the series in Fargo, N.D. in May. Barring getting swept away in a tsunami, she should be good to go.

Ultra Running What Is Old? I was called old recently. Actually, the word used was elderly. Not ready to be old I protested, of course, claiming I was middle aged. The retort was “do you expect to live to your 120s?” I replied in the affirmative, while recognizing the person might have a point. This conversation continued with us thinking about what is old.

As runners, we continue to run, and often run well past where most are content to begin winding down life activities.

Races see runners in their 60s and 70s finishing amidst far younger runners.

Many younger runners envy the records for every age group at distances from the mile to 100 miles, and even multidays.

At A Race For The Ages, ARFTA, a race designed to reward older runners we have seen runners in their 80s complete 100 miles. Runners in their 60s and 70s have competed for the overall win. There have been other races where runners in their 60s have been first overall. Runners have won many races in their 50s. Ed Whitlock ran sub three-hour marathons in his 70s! I won a marathon at aged 40

in 2:59, not as fast as Ed ran when he was in his 70s. Women have been equally impressive in their 60s and 70s.

T he average life expectancy in the United States is about 78.8 years, with women slightly higher at 81.2 and men lower at 76.3 years. Yet, we see runners in many events older than these “expectancies” still competing. Since these lifespan numbers are lowered by premature deaths, we can look at 90 for an expected lifespan for healthy individuals. Hopefully, as runners, we qualify as healthy.

Using 90 would show the first 30 years as young, 31-60 as middle aged, and 60 to 90 is old. Wait a minute…. I am not old. Perhaps we should add that “elderly” category. I would begin by saying that elderly begins after a “normal” lifespan.

That however does not help my argument. So the math must be rechecked.

Keeping birth through 30 as young and widening “middle aged” to 31-70 …. No that does not work either…. Few would call a 68-year-old middle aged.

OK, OK, I am not old… but I may be getting close. The US government has placed full retirement age at 66 years and a couple of months, currently, up from 65, not yet at the 67 it his headed to.

Therefore, I get to claim 67 as a government recognition of old. That means I'd better do some serious training, as I cannot use “old” as an excuse not to run well.

I do not feel old, so I will persist as if I am not. Perhaps age is just a number.

Perhaps we are only as old as we feel, and some may be old at 50 while others are not old in their 70s. My grandmother, who died last May at 101 years, 6 months, 13 days, confided to me once, in her early 90s that she felt “old.” I assured her she had that right. She replied, “I don't feel ancient or decrepit, just old…you know like 25 instead of the 18 I have felt most of the last 70 years.

“CHARLES” appeared instead. The laughter increased as we, “Charles and Amy” paraded past displays of the latest running shoes.

The next morning, while football fans were writing down the expected point spread for the impending game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the New England Patriots, I was scratching out the name, “AMY” and beginning to write “Mary Marcia” on my bib instead. After soon realizing, that there was not quite enough space on my bib to accommodate my whole name, I opted for “Mary Mo” instead. After all, it was the Sarasota MUSIC Half Marathon, and who doesn't know Deadeye Dick's musical classic, “New Age Girl”?

As I scribed the name “Mary Mo” beneath number 543, my imaginative mind's ear could hear the spectators singing the name-bearing lyrics as I ran past during the 13.1-mile morning trek.

Fast forward to the end of the race and I can report, that not one spectator audibly cheered for “Mary Mo” that morning. Of course, thanks to the music-themed half marathon, I later learned that the lyrics are actually, “Mary Moon” and not “Mary Mo”.

Regardless, whether or not there were cheers heard for, Charles, Amy, Will, Mary Mo, or Mary Moon, my dad and I had a wonderful time at the Sarasota race.

The weather was crisp and clear. Bands, singers, musicians, and DJs lined the streets throughout the entire course.

Homeowners sat on their front lawns, clapping, cheering, and dancing as more than 2500 runners ran by, and my dad and I both finished injury-free (with an age group award in tow for my dad).

After the race, we ran into fantastic fellow running friends, and then enjoyed a wonderful post-race sushi lunch at a little “hole-in-the-wall” restaurant we were fortunate enough to find just a couple miles from the finish line. The day was made complete by making a surprise visit with my in-laws and we enjoyed their “home town” football team's Super Bowl victory.

Fortunately, for Nick Foles and the rest of the Philadelphia Eagles football team, their jersey printers did not have the same challenges as the bib printers for the Sarasota Music Half. So, if Foles happened to break into Beyonce's “Say my name” lyrics post Super Bowl victory, fans could actually refer to his jersey to congratulate the stellar quarterback by his actual name -- Foles, and not “Charles.”

from running for a nap!

Simple relaxation is also needed for recovery. Following a run try to relax and unwind as soon as possible. Doing so can quickly lower your after exercise metabolism and decrease muscle tension, both of which can aid in recovery. Obviously, being in a relaxed state during the day can aid recovery. Sometimes the stress of everyday life can make this difficult. Try to focus on positive, relaxing thoughts during the day, not ones that lead you to feel stressed out. Negative thoughts can trigger the stress response which can drain energy and slow recovery time.

Reducing negative thoughts can reduce anxiety and arousal levels during the day, thereby saving precious energy. If something is really stressing you, try and talk to a close friend or significant other about the problem. Social support can be a huge stress management tool.

In many cases a great deal of stress is a result of our perceptions of events that occur on a daily basis. If you make a big deal out of every little thing in your life, then you will indeed experience high levels of stress. The next time you get stressed out over something ask yourself just really how important it is. Will it matter next week? Is it worth wasting a lot of your emotional energy on? Also, work on not getting stressed out over things you can't control. If you get caught in traffic you probably don't have any control over the situation. Put your emotional energy in better places than ones you simply have no control over. Remember that the less stress you have outside of running the better you will recover from your running!

Put your energy into recovery, not meaningless worry.

Hopefully, running itself is a positive factor in your life and not an actual stressor. Always keep in mind that running should be FUN! Keep your running in perspective. If you go out everyday and do the best you can, then what else can you ask of yourself? Work to improve things under your control, like your personal training, but don't worry about things out of your control, like the running performance of others, what other runners think of you, or even the weather.

Remind yourself to use running to reduce stress, not add more stress to your life.

So the next time you feel tired and are not recovering well, look at more than just your training. Examine all aspects of your life for stress. You may not be able to eliminate all the stressors in your life, but with good recovery techniques you can cope and adapt to them more effectively.

I crossed another busy street and ran into a policeman in front of the Cade Museum (Robert Cade invented Gatorade). I asked the policeman about the museum and mentioned that Gainesville had sure changed since I was a student at the University ‘probably back before you were born,’ adding that last phrase in case he had any intention of citing me for a misdemeanor.

I crossed Archer Road one last time to head towards the finish line. I arrived about 15 minutes before three hours of race time had elapsed so I went to Ferit’s car, changed clothes and got back to the finish line with three minutes to spare. As it turned out I still had six minutes, as Ferit’s finishing time was a few seconds over 3:03, good enough for 4th overall on a very hilly and demanding course on a very hot and humid day.

As we were leaving, I noticed the results of the marathon had been updated through four hours and 25 minutes of race time. There still were no finishers in the 60 – 64 age group yet: MY age group.

Despite feeling that I wasn’t ready— whatever that meant—I believe I was capable of running the marathon in four hours and 25 minutes on that day.

Then again, a man’s got to know his limitations. That’s why I was perfectly content to take a casual run through one of my favorite cities to cheer on one of my favorite people.

Maybe limitations aren’t such a bad thing after all.

Pilates is similar to yoga but emphasizes your body's core -- the abdomen, obliques, lower back, inner and outer thigh, and buns. Pilates develops much of what runners need -- strength, flexibility, muscular endurance, coordination, balance, and good posture. The discipline emphasizes correct form instead of going for the burn. With so many exercise variations and progressions, you may have a hard time getting bored with Pilates. You also utilize breathing to do pilates. As I stated previously I have developed my own yoga/ pilates routine and I attempt to do it every day. Many of the moves were inspired by yoga or patterned after the movements of zoo animals such as swans, seals, and big cats.

There are many pilates routines online, so find what works for you. Or take a class or get a DVD. You truly will be amazed how much difference you will see in your running form. I still am upright at the end of races and I am continually aware of my body. Thus I have found a few new things over 40 years that have markedly improved my running and kept me injury free.

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.

LOUISIANA Hoof, Cieslak Win Rock ’n’ Roll New Orleans Marathon NEW ORLEANS (March 4, 2018) — Nearly 20,000 runners from age 12 to 86 took to the streets of New Orleans to participate in the 9th running of the Humana Rock ‘n’ Roll New Orleans Marathon & ? Marathon.

11

With a renewed focus on the core pillars of bringing fun to the run with great music in a community environment, runners of all athletic levels enjoyed the sights and sounds of New Orleans. The best-in-class running event kicked off on Saturday with the 5K that took participants through the French Quarter, giving them the ability to run the streets of New Orleans’ most historic districts for the first time.

Representing all 50 states and 44 countries it was the marathon and half marathoners turn on Sunday taking them from Lafayette Square to St. Charles and through the French Quarter before finishing in City Park.

In the marathon, 24-year-old, Marcus Hoof broke the tape as the overall champion in a time of 2:33:45. Nick Accardo finished in second with a time of 2:44:04 as Nick Banks rounded out the podium in third finishing in 2:49:19.

Kylen Cieslak was the women’s marathon champion with a final time of 2:56:38. Local New Orleans runner, Malia Cali took the second-place spot in 3:08:15 and Cara Scheibling finish third in 3:16:38. Marathon finishers were treated to a brand new red-carpet finish and recovery zone that included massages and brought the flavor of New Orleans with post-race servings of Jambalaya.

In the half marathon, Baton Rouge, La.-native and world record holder, Kevin Castille dominated the race with his firstplace effort clocking a time of 1:06:24. Tyley Cannon was second with a time of 1:11:20. Matt Blunden followed in third place finishing in 1:14:44. Sarah Crouch, who trains in Flagstaff, Ariz. was the women’s champion with a final time of 1:17:56 but Rachel Paul from New Orleans was not far behind finishing in 1:18:19 setting a new personal record in the process by nearly five minutes. Jen Moroz rounded out the podium in 1:20:30.

Elite runners and fast times aside, Sunday’s races were all about the party.

Some of New Orleans’ best live bands performed on improved band stages along the route, interspersed with cheerleaders and themed water stations. Participants moved along to more music than ever with all new mile-markers that included speakers and race pacers who ran with mobile speaker packs.

The musically themed road race concluded with local favorites, Soul Rebels and Cowboy Mouth taking to the stage as co-headliners for the Toyota Rock ‘n’ Roll Concert Series, getting runners and their families to their feet in celebration of the days accomplishments.
