August 23, 2014

Message from Bob Anderson On Dec. 23, 2012, in Pleasanton, Calif., we staged the first Double Road Race® on American soil and the new sport of Double Racing® was born! Many of you were there that day. Now, less than two years later, I’m pleased to announce we have expanded the format of Double Racing® to include Doubles over a wider variety of distances and types of terrain (see article on page 4). We’re kicking off that concept here today in the San Jose Double Racing® Festival in what will go down as a truly historic occasion, because for the first time, all three races in a Double Road Race Federation (DRRF) promotion will be Doubles. This has never happened before. Today competitors will be able to choose between the Double 15K (traditionally known as the Double Road Race®), where competitors will run a 10K and a 5K, or the Double 5K, consisting of a 3K and a 2K. For the younger set there’s the Kids’ Double, in which kids 13 and under will run a mile and then, after a rest break, a half-mile. We are also going global with the Double. I am talking with potential Double producers in China, Taiwan, Australia, Japan, Columbia and Costa Rica – and we’ve already signed producers in Greece, Kenya, Indonesia, as well as Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma here in the United States. When you think about it, this new format we’re instituting – holding Doubles over various distances -- is the next logical step in the evolution of Double Racing®. I have a vision that runners far and wide will embrace the sport of Double Racing®, training specifically for it like they do for the Triathlon. Why not? Back in 1966 I started Runner’s World magazine, essentially, to provide runners of that long-ago day with more and better training information. Heaven knows that with the larger masses of runners out there today, many of them newcomers to running, there’s an even greater need for solid, meaningful training information and opportunities than in the past. I have a vision that Double Racing® will stimulate a huge grassroots movement in the country for runners to train wisely, race humanely and build up logically to the longer distances the majority ultimately aspire to run. If you plan to build up to the half-marathon or marathon, why not first start with a Double that’s 5, 10 or 15 kilometers long with a rest break built in? I have a vision that as a result of this transformational, grassroots movement I mentioned earlier, we will see Doubles held all over the country and around the world in communities large and small. I have a vision that runners far and wide will realize that Double Racing® is not only fun, but it provides a social environment like no other race, thanks to the two-stage nature of every Double and the recovery break in between. I have a vision that as the Double grows, we’ll eventually have state championships, national championships and even a world championship. I have a vision that from the most serious to the least experienced, the masses of runners will see the Double has something for them – and that elite athletes, even if they don’t plan to specialize in Double Racing®, will realize that Double Racing® is superb training for the half-marathon and marathon. That is my vision for the Double, my orienting vision. By being here today, you’re already part of that vision – and I thank you. Have a great day!

DOUBLE Racing®

Double Racing® – Running With a Halftime The Double Road Race Federation (DRRF) introduces a new event format and global vision for the innovative sport of Double Racing®. By David Prokop

T

he novel idea that is the dynamic sport of Double Racing® just took on a much greater scope, luster and appeal. The brainchild of lifelong runner and Runner’s World founder Bob Anderson, Double Racing® accords competitors the benefit of running a race with a rest break built in. In other words, these are races run in two stages with an incorporated recovery break as part of the event. Anderson calls this type of competition “running with a halftime” … and indeed the tagline for the sport has become Double Racing® – Running with a Halftime! Double Racing® (def.) – A form of racing, constituting a sport by that name, in which competitors run a footrace in two stages with a rest break in between, the first stage always being longer than the second (usually in the proportion of 2:1). If this doesn’t sound like anything most distance runners have experienced before, that’s the whole point: It’s not meant to be! Because Anderson conceived, structured and is promoting Double Racing® as a standalone, separate sport. Ultimately, he hopes to see Double Races proliferating all around the country and around the world – like mushrooms after a spring rain! This year Double Racing® events are expected to be held in Kenya, China, Indonesia, Greece and Australia -- and, of course, a full slate of Doubles has been scheduled here in the United States. Mass participation, mass fitness, wherever runners run – that’s central to Anderson’s idea. In a form of racing that has been termed “the humane way to race.” What runner hasn’t hoped – when the effort of a distance race is getting overwhelming and the very antithesis of fun – that it wasn’t possible to take a pre-scheduled break, regroup and come back to finish what you

started? We do that in life! Why can’t we do that in a race? Originally, Bob Anderson’s concept of Double Racing® was limited to one distance – 15 kilometers – where competitors would run 10 kilometers, followed by a recovery break of approximately an hour, then they would complete the race by running the concluding five kilometers. This competition, known as the Double Road Race®, is still the marquee event in Double Racing®. Twenty-one have been held thus far, there are world, American, age-group records, etc. However, in order to nurture the sport of Double Racing® and bring it to the level of prominence and popularity Bob Anderson would like to see (his hope is that Double Racing® will become part of the Olympics within 20 years), he realized there needed to be more than one event at that one distance

(15 kilometers) in Double Racing®, but rather a variety of events over a variety of distances and types of terrain. So the Double Road Race Federation, which Anderson set up as the governing body of the sport, has unveiled plans to organize and sanction Doubles over distances like 21K, 15K, 12K, 8K, and 5K. There is a Kids’ Double and an Adventure Double! Thus in the future, to give participants a greater variety of distances to choose from and build Double Racing® into a recognized, worldwide sport incorporating numerous events, Double Races will not only be run on smooth, paved roads, as has been the case with the Double Road Race®, but also on cross-country courses, dirt trails, mountain roads, golf courses, grassy parkland, even beaches. All of these races to be run based on the Double Racing® concept and according to the rules and


DOUBLE Racing® regulations of the DRRF: 1) the first stage is always the longest, 2) the recovery break in each race will be determined by the total distance the competitors will cover, 3) the concluding stage is always the shortest. This expanded schedule and variety of distances, plus the associated Double Training program which the DRRF is making available to all and sundry (for free!), is designed to produce a grassroots movement and interest in the sport of Double Racing® for the benefit of all those who are interested in fitness and running. The official distances in Double Racing® will be as follows: • Double 21K (15K/6K) • Double 15K (10K/5K) • Double 12K (8K/4K) • Double 8K (5K/3K) • Double 5K (3K/2K)

T

o be sure, there are some hardcore runners who fairly bristle at the idea of a required break or rest during a distance running event. One such runner, in fact, confronted Bob Anderson: “How could you do that? In running, you run from start to finish. You can’t have a break in between!”

He was, of course, overlooking some crucial points. As Bob Anderson pointed out to him, Double Racing® is a separate sport with its own unique rules. Rules that were specifically set up to give competitors a new, exciting, different challenge and a set of circumstances to juggle and deal with most effectively, including how to pace yourself best through the two stages, what’s the best way to handle your recovery during the recovery break, etc. Competitors in sports like Triathlon, Orienteering and Biathlon “stop” during the event, so why can’t competitors do it in Double Racing®? Furthermore, lest it be overlooked, in Double Racing® you do run from start to finish – only you first do it in the opening stage. Then after a recovery break, you run from the start to the finish again in the concluding stage! This time when you finish, however, you really have completed the entire Double and your position in the race is determined by your combined or aggregate time. Recovery Zone (def.) – A concept unique to Double Racing®, this a special area set up for competitors to socialize, recover and recuperate between the two stages of the race. Typically food, hydration and various forms of exercise equipment and therapy are available to facilitate recovery and keep the muscles loose. The Recovery Zone is sometimes referred to as the Halftime.

Double Racing® has something for every runner, but due to the built-in rest break it can be said that it’s more forgiving and therefore particularly suitable for the less-trained, beginner-type competitors. Why? Because you don’t have to cover the entire distance of the race in one continuous effort. In that sense, Double Racing® is a much more humane, do-able way for a person to cover the complete distance – be it 21K, 15K, 10K, etc. – than doing the whole distance in one shot. That is also why Double Racing® is a perfect stepping-stone for less experienced runners to build up to running the longer distances – whether it’s the half-marathon or the marathon – in a regular racing format. Ironically, while Double Racing® could be said to be a more forgiving way for a less experienced runner to cover a distance like 21K, 15K, 10K, etc., assuming the individual paces himself or herself correctly, for an elite runner who wants to push the pace to the max, a Double is perhaps a harder way to cover the entire distance. Indeed, if a competitor really chose to drive the pace to the maximum in the first stage, then after the break attempted to do the same type of thing in the concluding stage, it would be a harder way to cover the entire distance than running it in one unbroken, continuous effort. Still, it is significant and noteworthy that Double Racing® provides an opportunity for competitors to experience both ends of the spectrum, depending on their fitness level and their competitive goals. www.DoubleRacing.com

DOUBLE Racing®

I

n the end, an underlying and fundamental question about Double Racing® remains: Why split a race into two parts with a rest break in between? What’s the purpose and value of that? The answers are as varied as they are numerous. Consider just a few of them: 1) Why stage a race of this sort? Why not? Are runners so set in their ways they’re not open to trying something different? It is said variety is the spice of life; furthermore, Double Racing® is a valid athletic competition that tests a lot of athletic qualities, including race planning and preparation, strategy, fitness, perseverance, recovery, etc. 2) Competitors find that Double Racing® is fun and it certainly is different. Those are two very good reasons right there – wouldn’t you say? – for this type of competition and the sport of Double Racing®. 3) It’s an interesting and intriguing challenge putting the elements of this unique type of racing together in the most effective way. Especially for less experienced runners, it’s not only a more do-able way to cover a longer distance – because of the built-in rest break – but it provides valuable experience and education pertaining to training, pacing, recovery, strategy, etc. 4) The interaction and social contact resulting from the time competitors spend together in the Recovery Zone make Double Racing® easily the most social form of

distance running competition. Thus, if you regard running and racing as a social event as much as an athletic event, Double Racing® is definitely for you! Double Training (def.) – A formal training program put together by the Double Road Race Federation (DRRF) to familiarize people with Double Racing® and how to prepare for running a race with a rest break built in. The program is available for free online by going to DoubleRoadRace. com or DoubleRacing.com. People can also participate in Double Training group sessions at specified locations. 5) Countless people have reported that the satisfaction of completing an event in Double Racing® is greater than completing a regular race. But don’t take our word for it; this is something you have to experience for yourself! 6) Double Racing® is excellent training – both the preparation for a Double and actually running one! 7) We all have days when we’re not at our best. It’s particularly frustrating when that happens on a day you’re running a race! But in Double Racing®, a day that starts out negatively can ultimately turn out very positively at the end. That’s because you have an opportunity to adjust your pace and strategy from one stage to the next, or you find that during the rest break you break out of the funk you were in during the first

stage. Thus in Double Racing® you have that all-important opportunity for selfcorrection so you don’t have to wait a week or two or more till your next race to redeem yourself. This is a welcome change from what you typically experience in a regular race. 8) Furthermore, there’s an intriguing mental and physical challenge in Double Racing® that you don’t experience in a regular race. As one competitor put it: “I like the fact it’s a cerebral event, not just a physical event.” 9) Certainly, experienced runners who race frequently and perhaps are getting a bit jaded by the same types of races they have always run will find Double Racing® an interesting change of pace, both literally and figuratively, and something new, different and refreshing. 10) As already mentioned, Double Racing® offers something for everyone – from the rank beginner to the elite athlete, in competitions that run the gamut of distances and types of terrain. Truly, nothing like this has ever been available to runners before, which is one of the greatest benefits of Double Racing®.

DOUBLE Racing®

Christine Kennedy on Double Racing® The First Lady of Double Racing®, Christine Kennedy has run six Double 15K’s, won her age group each time, taken home the Double Victory Cup five of those six times for best age-graded performance, and finished far above everyone else on the 2013 Women’s Leader Board for the Double Road Race® 15K Challenge. The only woman her age to break three hours for the marathon, she ran 2:57:44 in this year’s Boston Marathon, giving her an age-graded score of 102.42, the highest age-graded score of the 35,667 runners who finished the race! Here this amazing Masters runner talks about Double Racing® from her experience. Anyone who’s running the Double or just thinking of doing so would do well to consider her comments.

I

live in Los Gatos, Calif., where I manage a running shoe store called Athletic Performance. I’ve been a runner for 31 years and now, at age 59, I’m proud to say I’m one of the best age-group runners in the country. The great philosopher Bertrand Russell once said, “Anything you’re good at contributes to happiness.” Runners can relate to that, I think, and I know I’m oh-sofortunate to have had running in my life all these years and to be performing at a level I would never have believed possible at my age. When I first heard of the Double Road Race® in the summer of 2012, the Double had still not made its debut on the American running scene. My first impression, looking back, when I first heard about the Double 15K was – I really don’t know if I can do this, run a 10K and a 5K with an hour’s rest in between? In fact, I did run the inaugural Pleasanton Double, Dec. 23, 2012, not only completing both legs of the race, but won my age group, was awarded the beautiful Double Victory Cup for the best age-graded performance, and I’ve had a running love affair with Double Racing® ever since. Only later did I realize that my first impression of what the Double actually is was incorrect – and if a longtime, experienced runner like me had the wrong idea of what the Double is (hey, I even know Bob Anderson, the creator of the Double, who often comes to our store!), surely less experienced runners might have the same mistaken notion.

www.DoubleRacing.com

So what can I tell runners about what the Double is and what it isn’t – and why they’ll be doing themselves a big favor if they add the Double to their running and racing schedule? What the Double isn’t, contrary to what I originally thought, is running two races back to back. Instead, the Double – any Double at any distance – is running a race that has a rest break built in. There’s a world of difference between those two concepts. A race to me is running as fast as you can from start to finish – with the idea of

winning or finishing in as high a position as you possibly can. Anyone can see that running the 10K and the 5K of the Double 15K like that would be a stiff challenge indeed. However, that’s not what you do in the Double, if you’re running it right and thinking about it properly. You have to pace yourself, and since aggregate time is what counts, it’s not even a matter of “beating” other runners in the 10K and 5K, although you can choose to do so if you wish, but using other runners to motivate you or pull


DOUBLE Racing® you along to the kind of time you want to run or just to help you finish each segment and therefore complete the Double. Did you know that because of its format, it is distinctly possible to pace yourself appropriately and do very well on aggregate time in Double Racing® without ever having to push yourself to the max in either the first or second stage? Because you’re not racing other runners, in a manner of speaking; you’re competing with yourself and doling out your energy in a way that will give you the best aggregate time. That’s the name of the game! It’s more pacing than racing, if you get my meaning. Therefore, what I’ve come to realize is that the Double is actually a totally different competition than most people might think it is at first glance. It’s like we’ve been looking at the Double through the wrong end of the telescope – as I alluded to earlier, even I did it at the beginning. Instead of the Double being this ultra-difficult event suitable mainly to hardcore runners, it is actually the most humane type of race where you not only get a rest in between, but an event that gives you the opportunity to work and feel your way through the two segments and enjoy the company of your running friends during the recovery break. An event, in other words, that should be particularly appealing to the more fun-oriented, recreational runners (if they only knew about the Double and really understood it) who may be looking to perhaps move up to longer races like the half-marathon and marathon in the future. All of this, unfortunately, isn’t something people can easily grasp without a certain level of appreciation and prompting. I’ve had people say to me, “So, let’s see, (in the Double 15K) you run a 10K, then after a break you run a 5K. What’s the point of that? Why don’t you just run a 15K?” Why not just run a 15K? Well, you have that option – there are 15K races to be found, although not that many of them. But isn’t that question really the same as saying – why would I want to do a workout where I run 12 quarter mile repetitions (the type of interval training almost all serious, competitive runners do), why not just run three miles straight? Answer: They’re totally different workouts. Not only that, you get a

different training effect from each – and a totally different experience. Same thing with running a Double 15K (10K+5K) versus a 15K. Totally different races – and a totally different experience. I don’t run the 15K very often. I run the Double a lot, and I use the Double, in part, as a building block to run a faster halfmarathon and marathon. To those who already haven’t done so, I’d sincerely encourage them to do the Double. I’ve certainly enjoyed each one I’ve run – the competition, the format of the event, the camaraderie, the incredible unity you experience in the race, which is easily more evident than in any other race I’ve ever run. No matter how fast you are or how slow, all the participants in the Double feel a kind of kinship and unity because after you’ve run the first stage, you know you still have the second stage to run, so we’re all in this

together. In the Doubles I’ve run, there’s always a tremendous unity between all the runners – unlike anything I’ve experienced in other races. It’s like we’re all in this together, and we acknowledge and support each other in this unique new challenge. I must admit the prize money I’ve been able to win in the Double has been nice and much appreciated, too. Masters runners don’t normally expect to get that in a race, but the Double Road Race Federation (DRRF) makes it a point to acknowledge and reward Masters runners, too. Speaking about prize money and racing and winning (even if it’s only winning over yourself), I’d like to say to all the serious competitive runners out there that running the Double is also a great training workout, one you cannot get in a normal training session, only when actually competing. Tyler McCandless, former world recordholder in the Double 15K and one of America’s finest marathoners, has been quoted as saying, “The Double is a tremendous workout.” He’s referring to the fact that if you’re really racing the Double 15K, as runners of his caliber do, you have to go out after the recovery break and really push yourself through the 5K after you’ve already run the 10K. When I run the marathon, whether it’s Boston, Chicago, wherever, I like to do it in a negative-split fashion where I conserve energy at the beginning and try to run faster at the end. Running the Double Road Race®, where I do my best in the opening 10K, then push to run an even faster pace in the shorter 5K, has been excellent preparation for me to be able to do that in the marathon. But whether you’re a hardcore racer or a fun runner, whether you’re fast or slow, fit or a little flabby, whether you’re in it to win it or just hoping to finish (or doing it strictly for fun and recreation), I know the Double has something for you. I hope to see you in a Double soon!

T

he Double 15K Leader Board is a system that records points of Double 15K participants based on performance and finish of Double 15Ks during the season. The 2014 Double 15K season started in Pleasanton, Calif., Dec. 22, 2013. After participants finish each Double 15K, they must go to www.UjenaFitClub.com to post their race result. The Ujena Fit Club is the verifying organization for the Leader Board of the Double Road Race Federation. At the end of the Double 15K season, the top 10 male and female runners on the Leader Board who have accumulated the most points will share the $10,000 in prize money. Men and women will receive equal cash prizes, which will be presented at our annual awards ceremony at the third annual Pleasanton Double 15K, regarded as the first Double 15K of the 2015 season.

Double 15K Point System

Top Men’s and Women’s Times 15 points for 1st, 14 points for 2nd, 13 points for 3rd, 12 points for 4th, etc., down to 1 point for 15th place. Age-Graded Performance 20 points for 1st, 19 points for 2nd, 18 points for 3rd, 17 points for 4th, etc., down to 1 point for 20th place. Top Age-Group Times 10 points for first in your age group, 9 for second, 8 for third, etc., down to 1 point for 10th. (Age groups are 19 and under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70 plus; the age group that you fall in is based on your age on the date of the Double 15K.) Performance Bonus Points 15 points for a world record (men or women), 10 points for a world best performance in these age groups: 19 and under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 5059, 60-69, 70 plus.

Do The Double 15K Finishers Points 10 points for finishing each Double 15K. So if someone finishes 10 Double 15Ks in 2014, they will receive 100 points no matter what their final time. (Since some people use different names, it is important that you let us know if you compete in more than one Double 15K and don’t see your name on our Leader Board. Every person who finished the 2013 Pleasanton Double 15K received 10 points.)

Cash Prizes Totaling $10,000 for the Top 10 Double 15K Leader Board Winners

Men and women will receive the same cash prizes. The prizes will be presented in Pleasanton, Dec. 21, 2014. If the winner is not present at the awards ceremony or is not able to accept the prize money, it will be contributed to the next year's prize package. There will be a men’s and women’s Leader Board. A runner must be a current Ujena Fit Club member in order to receive a cash prize. All prize money for tied positions will be split evenly between runners. First Place $1350 (men and women) Total $2700 Second Place $1000 (men and women) Total $2000 Third Place $750 (men and women) Total $1500 Fourth Place $500 (men and women) Total $1000 Fifth Place $400 (men and women) Total $800 Sixth Place $300 (men and women) Total $600 Seventh Place $250 (men and women) Total $500 Eighth Place $200 (men and women) Total $400 Ninth Place $150 (men and women) Total $300 Tenth Place $100 (men and women) Total $200 Again, each runner will receive 10 points for each Double 15K he or she finishes during the season.
