Chicago Athlete is an Offi cial Media Sponsor of the 2014 Bank of America Chicago Marathon

MEDIA PARTNERS MEMBER OF

So many people played a role in getting me to the start line (and, ultimately, the finish line) of my second Bank of America Chicago Marathon. From the first day of marathon season, I had a strong team behind me supporting me, supporting me in various aspects of my journey. I could not have possibly done this

race without them.

The Chicago Area Runners Association probably contributed the most to the creation of my marathon support team, at least in terms of people. The 10:30 Awesomes, who I will forever believe are the best pace group in all of CARA’s marathon training program, are the reason I run marathons. Period. Yes, I enjoy the sense of accomplishment I feel from completing a marathon, and I certainly enjoy the structure of marathon training. Ultimately, though, the people I run with keep me coming back. Jon Kamp and Jamie Graves are an all-star team, with Jon’s like-clockwork pacing and Jamie’s unparalleled enthusiasm and encouragement. Liz Kreider did an excellent job of holding down the midweek long run fort at Equinox, and Kira Devin carried the entire group on her shoulders on more than one occasion, which I know we all appreciated. I, in particular, have never been more grateful on a run than I was when I struggled during an early-season 10 miler, and, without saying a word, Kira fell in step with my substantially-slower-than-10:30 pace and stuck with me all the way through the end of the run. I owe thanks to Lauren and Erin, who patiently endured my insistence on talking their ears off on several long runs and put up with me stressing about my seemingly endless laundry list of aches and pains. Thank you also to Arlyne and Marissa for running with me during what was hopefully the hottest half marathon I’ll ever endure, and to Jen for running with me both during that race and for going ridiculously out of her way to meet me at 5:15 on a Saturday morning so we could run 5.8 miles to a 10K in order to get in our scheduled 12 miles for the day. If that’s not friendship, I don’t know what is.

I owe an extreme and eternal debt of gratitude to my physical therapist, Eric, who I saw more regularly than any of my friends all summer long (I wish I were kidding). Thank you for helping my toes, and my knee, and my heel, and my shoulder (you know, just to keep things interesting) get better, for never telling me I was crazy even though I gave you more than enough reasons to think I’m crazy, for all the IT band decorations (i.e., bruises) and for not making me do cones on my birthday. I absolutely would not have made it to the marathon without you, and you have no idea how much I appreciate the work you do. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I’d also like to thank Greg, my personal trainer at Equinox, for being the only reason I strength trained at all during marathon season. Strength training is the first thing I drop while preparing for a marathon, but having a trainer to keep me accountable and create (and constantly adapt) a strength training program to fit what I needed was incredible. It takes a pretty patient individual to put up with me at 6 a.m. on Monday mornings, but Greg did so with far more compassion than I imagine I would be able to muster if I had been in his position, and for that I am very grateful.

My family and non-running friends also deserve all of my thanks for listening to me whine, stress and cry over my injuries, for (usually) pretending to not mind that I couldn’t hang out, ever, and of course for trekking all around Chicago on race day to cheer me on. Your support kept me going.

And of course, thank you to the entire Chicago Athlete community for motivating me to pick up running in the first place. I would not be a runner if not for this magazine.

As a kid, I wanted nothing more than to be an athlete, and though I tried nearly every sport under the sun, I never seemed to find something that clicked. Running, and marathoning in particular, has given me the sense of pride, the sense of accomplishment and the sense of belonging I tried so hard to find in other sports. It may not be for everyone, but I know for me, marathoning has permanently and positively changed my life, and I so look forward to doing it all again.

I t’s 6:30 a.m. on Saturday at Montrose Beach. Runners, primarily in their 20s, 30s or older, mill around in front of the bathrooms, some

stretching, others chatting. It’s a standard morning at one of the most popular training locations for the Chicago Area Runners Association’s Marathon Training Program with dozens of participants gearing up for another run on the Lakefront Trail.

A few feet away, a group of high schoolers and adults gather at the bottom of a gentle incline. In and of itself, this isn’t entirely out of the ordinary: the CARA Road Scholars meet at that same spot during their season. But the Road Scholars pro-gram concludes after the annual Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon, and it’s now September. For these 10 students, though, the Rock ‘n’ Roll � nish line only represented the halfway point in their training.

Students Run CHI, an independent o� shoot of the Road Scholars program, was the brainchild of Mar-co Galvan and Chad Kasler, longtime Road Schol-ars leaders who started a nonpro� t, Chicago Heart Initiative, to help undocumented students a� ord Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals application. DACA allows those who came to the United States as children and meet several guidelines to request consideration of deferred action from U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services. � ose approved will not be placed in removal proceedings or removed from the United States for a determined period of time.

� ough a new nonpro� t, Galvan and Kasler have many ideas for the organization, including Students Run CHI. Participants involved in Students Run CHI continued running after the end of the Road Scholars season with the goal of completing the Bank of America Chicago Marathon in October.

“We � nished [half ] marathon training and said, ‘Okay, after Road Scholars whoever wants to meet with us, sign these waivers and we’ll see you next Saturday,’” Galvan says. “We’ve been getting good

acceptance. I think all the runners get excited see-ing high school kids trying to get into this.”

Prior to their involvement � rst with Road Scholars and then with Students Run CHI, most partici-pants had little to no experience with running of any sort, let alone long distance running. Nev-ertheless, training has impacted all the students, including Adrian Vasquez, 18, a recent graduate of Benito Juarez Community Academy in Pilsen.

“I used to think 12 miles was a ridiculous amount of miles to run, but now it’s like a warm up run before one of the trainings,” Vasquez says.

Unlike many of their adult counterparts, the Stu-dents Run CHI participants have one extra chal-lenge thrown into the delicate balancing act that makes up marathon training: schoolwork.

“During the summer this was � ne for them,” Galvan says. “Before school started, things ramp up and they started feeling the heat. We discussed this with all of them, especially during training runs. We made them aware that September was going to be tough for every-body as they got busy with homework and school. [We told them] you’ve got to manage your time wisely and wake up early to go run these runs. If you want us to help you, you’ve got to keep up with these runs.”

Even with the di� culties that come with training for a marathon while in school, the program has had a positive impact on its participants.

“� is builds our self-esteem and our mileage,” Alondra Guzman, a 17-year-old senior at Rickover Naval Academy says. “It’s really awesome because our mentors push us. � ey motivate us, not just in running but in life, too.”

Delos Wellness, a Chicago pain management clinic, recently opened its second location at 2105 N. South-port. The new clinic, located in the same building as Shred415, expands the practice to Lincoln Park.

Co-founders Eric Owens and Mimi Bosika opened Delos Wellness’s original clinic, located at 600 W. Chicago, in 2012 based on a pain management thera-py developed by Owens’s father, Kenny, who suffered from long term shoulder pain that stuck around even after surgery, medication and physical therapy.

“My dad is a bright engineer and has that problem-solving mind,” Owens says. “He started experimenting with different techniques and one thing he realized was that the tissue in his arm was in a hard, contracted state, while the tissue in his other arm wasn’t like that.”

Though testing different techniques, Kenny Owens found that applying direct pressure to hardened tissue would cause it to relax, leading to increased function and range of motion. His method worked, but without a medical background, he lacked credibility.

“That was the main driving force for me to go to med-ical school: to have a better understanding of what

was happening,” Eric Owens says. “Those were the answers I needed to take the therapy to the next level.”

With the help of his longtime friend Bosika, who had graduated with a master’s degree from the Uni-versity of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, Ow-ens opened Delos Wellness to bring his therapy to chronic pain sufferers and athletes alike.

“The main idea of what we do is to stretch tissue with applied pressure,” Owens says. “It makes sense superficially if you’re stiff, you should stretch. The problem is tight tissue doesn’t stretch effectively. When you apply direct pressure to tissues, it forces a stretch of the tissue.”

In addition to helping resolve pain issues, Owens has found that treatment can also help improve athletic performance.

“When muscles become hard and tight, those muscle fibers are not available for use,” Owens says. “When you stretch them apart with pressure, the tight fibers go into a relaxed state, and you’re able to increase muscle recruitment and your performance will be better.”

While many of Delos’s patients come in because of current pain, Owens says maintenance and preven-tion can make a substantial difference.

“It’s hard to get people into the clinic with no pain, but it’s a good idea to do that to prevent pain and stiffness,” Owens says. “Once it starts to hurt and is already stiff, it’s not too late, but now we have to get aggressive on the tissue. It’d be like not brushing your teeth until you get a cavity.”

Delos’s method works well for athletes looking to deal with pain, but those with lower activity levels have benefitted from the treatment as well, including those working in offices. Because the treatment is fast and done over clothing, patients often come in during their lunch break to seek help with their pain.

“Investment bankers, people in advertising, people who do a ton of activities: they all experience simi-lar symptoms we can address,” Bosika says.

Delos offers a complimentary 25-minute evalua-tion to new patients. To learn more about the ther-apy and clinics, visit delostherapy.com.

Looking for cross country skiing companions? Head to the western suburbs and meet up with the Nordic Fox Ski Club. The group, primarily based around Naper-ville, Downers Grove and Wheaton, formed in 1981 and boasts about 75 members, making it northern Il-linois’ largest cross country ski club.

Members often ski in areas local to the western sub-urbs, particularly the Herrick Lake Forest Preserve and the adjacent Arrowhead Golf Club in Wheaton, which grooms its golf course and rents equipment to those who would like to try their hand at cross country ski-ing. The Nordic Fox Ski Club also uses Arrowhead’s facilities to help introduce others to the sport.

“Our ski club in January and February gives lessons at Arrowhead,” Art Kardatzke, club treasurer, says. “It’s very much for beginners. We’ve had good response; when we have snow, we fill up class.”

The club offers two classes per morning, with 2015 classes scheduled for January 17, January 24, February 7 and February 14.

Club members don’t limit their ski excursions to Wheaton, however. Throughout the year, you can

find the Nordic Fox Ski Club at Camp Sagawau in Lemont; Rock Cut State Park in Rockford; Lapham Peak in Delafield, Wisconsin and the Nordic trail in LaGrange, Wisconsin.

The Nordic Fox Ski Club also takes trips during the season, occasionally in conjunction with the Lakeshore Ski and Sports Club from Chicago. In the past, the club has visited Stokely Creek in Sault Ste. Marie, Canada; Maplelag Resort in western Minnesota, Yellowstone National Park and Methow Valley, Washington. This winter, skiers will travel to Devil’s Thumb Resort in Winter Park, Colorado and Ironwood, Michigan, lo-cated in the state’s Upper Peninsula.

“The big attraction [in Ironwood] is that they get Lake Superior lake effect snow,” Kardatzke says. “The guy that runs the place teaches grooming classes, and the grooming is beautiful.”

In February, the club will head to Wisconsin for one of the biggest events in cross country skiing: the American Birkebeiner in Hayward. The club also organizes a trip up to Hayward in early February, giving members a chance to experience the Birkie Trail before the event.

While Chicago offers a multitude of training opportunities for a variety of different outdoor sports, navigating the nuances of getting in a good cycling workout can present challenges. While suburban riding has longer uninterrupted stretches of roads and fewer cars, the city of Chi-cago presents its own stunning beauty you can see while riding amongst towering skyscrapers, along the lakeshore or through the many unique neighborhoods within the city’s limits.

Before setting out for a ride in the city, consider these tips about route choice, time selection and bicycle choice to make your workout or ride much more enjoyable and safe.

While the Lakefront Trail is a fantastic place to enjoy a bike ride, it is not a place to do a fast bike workout during normal usage hours. If you need to constantly brake or dodge runners and walkers, you’re likely going too fast. During the high traf-ficked hours, use the path only as a means to get somewhere better to ride or as a reminder to take a forced easy spin day and enjoy the scenery. On the other hand, riding the Lakefront Trail at speed can be out of a dream in the early or late evening hours with the usage of a proper bike light.

The other best times of the week to ride include the morning hours of the weekend. Several great group rides leave from set points at established times that will have you gasping for air before most wake up. The Judson ride leaves at 7:30 a.m. from Evanston’s Judson and Greenleaf streets, which ventures even further north before circling back to towards Evanston. It is a fast paced group ride, catering to experienced riders, and totals over 50 miles of leg burning pedaling.

If you want something a bit more relaxed as you get comfortable riding in the city with a group, look out for the XXX Racing-AthletiCo team ride that leaves from the northwest corner of Wicker Park at 8 a.m. during the winter. This ride also heads north towards Highland Park, but its no-drop policy is great for learning the ropes from more experienced city cy-clists and catching up with fellow riders. For solo or small group rides, follow the Lakefront Trail south past both Promontory Point and Jackson Parks to-wards the state border for much less path traffic, unique views of the city, amazing architecture and the balance between the industrial history and beau-ty of the south side. Of course, just riding on the city streets between stop lights can be an improvised interval workout as you make your way between the more steady stretches of uninterrupted roadways.

Bike choice in the city is a major topic of discussion when purchasing a new ride for both training and racing. While riding on roads typically lends itself to a road specific bike, a cyclocross bike could be your best bet for its versatility. With the geometry similar to that of a road bike, it can accommodate narrow road-specific tires or wider, thicker tires that can be more puncture resistant and ridden at lower pressures. This allows you to continue on your ride without having to dodge every pothole or patch of broken glass. Your riding predictability will also increase since you can ride through minor obstacles, which in turn increases your safety from passing vehicles.

The ability to ride on and off roads (not on side-walks unless you are under the age of 12!) with a treaded tire is also an option. Throughout the many grass covered parks and boulevards, you can ride at slower speeds while getting in the same effort as on the road. As always, wear a helmet, obey the rules of the road and be mindful of pedestrians.

Check out www.chicagobikeracing.com/rides for more information on training rides throughout the Chicagoland area, including meeting times, places and general rules for the given rides.

ALLIE WALTERS Having a close relationship with a running coach can make a big difference in performance, and no one knows that better than the female winner of the Fox Valley Half Marathon, Allie Walters: she’s married to her coach. Walters ran all through school but drifted from the sport until meeting her husband. Now, she regularly competes in marathons and half marathons while training throughout

the year and recently joined the Fleet Feet Racing Team, where she hopes to regain the camaraderie she enjoyed while running in school. Walters says she met a number of her current teammates through her father-in-law, who is also a running coach. Both her Fox Valley victory and her PR performance at Grandma’s Half Marathon in Minnesota helped prepare her for this year’s New York City Marathon. Walters has some lofty goals set for the difficult course and wants to break both her current marathon PR of 3:08 and the 3:05 mark.

RYAN GIULIANO Ryan Giuliano has been a regular at the top of race results for years and the last few months have been no different. Since the start of September, the 29 year old won the Oak Brook Half Marathon, finished third at the O’Hare Runway 5K and was the first Illi-nois finisher at the IRONMAN World Championships in Hawaii, where he passed out momentarily during the run before getting up, refueling and finishing the

race. While his times may fluctuate, Giuliano says he is always doing whatever it takes to be in the top group.

RUDOLPHRAMBLE.COMADs.indd 11 10/20/14 8:55 PM

Chicago Marathon and capped off his year of run-ning with the Chicago Lakefront 50K on Nov. 2, 2013. He then took a bit of time off running until the end of December, when an influx of holiday treats at work prompted him to pick up running again. That turned into 200 consecutive days of running no less than 3.2 miles, including through January’s polar vortexes, that he concluded in July because of a new opportunity.

“I had just finished my daily run,” Blancarte says, “but that day I wasn’t feeling the run and didn’t enjoy it. I got out of the shower and a notification pops up on my computer. I check the email and it says, ‘We want you on Team USA Endurance.’”

Team USA Endurance, established by the U.S. Olympic Committee in 2013, raises funds for U.S. Olympians and Paralympians on Team USA. Members of Team USA Endurance, in-cluding Blancarte, will run the 2014 New York City Marathon this November.

“To me, from never, ever running, never, ever thinking I was going to be able to do anything athletic to having the USOC provide me the privilege of representing my nation and having Team USA across my chest: that’s completely epic,” Blancarte says.

Blancarte has often used his running as a means for fundraising, beginning with his first 5K in 2012, which he ran to support both Enlance Chicago and the Boys and Girls Club of Chi-cago. Last year, he ran both the Bank of America Chicago Marathon and the Chicago Triathlon on behalf of Leave No Veteran Behind.

“I always enjoy fundraising money for different nonprofits and charities,” Blancarte says. “As part of Team USA raising funds for the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Foundation, it’s been a fantastic journey for me.”

Blancarte also likes sharing his love of running with others and has served as a pacer for mul-tiple Chicago Endurance Sports training pro-grams, including its marathon training program this past summer. Though he enjoys pacing, he tries to stay away from competing with friends in order to maintain his passion for the sport.

“What I do, I do it for myself, not to compete with friends,” Blancarte says. “I’m always up for a fun run but as soon as I see they’re trying to make it a race, I slow down. I don’t want to get injured and I don’t want to take the love out of running.”

In January 2012, Miguel Blancarte weighed near-ly 350 pounds. In November 2013, he became an ultramarathoner.

Blancarte had been heavy his entire life, born more than a pound over what the Center for Disease Con-trol and Prevention considers a high birth weight, but made a serious commitment to losing weight after a doctor’s appointment a few years ago.

“[My doctor] told me, ‘Miguel, the way you’re going, chances are you’re not going to see past your mid-40s,’” Blancarte says. “To me, that was a bit of a wakeup call, because I felt like I was doing a disservice to myself by essentially having already lived half my life.”

Blancarte joined a gym in January 2012 and eight months later had lost more than half his starting body weight. By November of that year, Blancarte lost 196 pounds and decided to take on his first

5K, Carrera de Los Muertos, on Nov. 3, 2012.

“I was hooked,” Blancarte says of his first road race experience. “I really had a great time out there and I had only started training for it about two weeks prior to actually going forth with it.”

Blancarte’s running career took off after Carrera de los Muertos. In 2013, he ran his first 8K at the Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle 8K and continued in-creasing his race distance throughout the year, start-ing with the Chicago Spring 10K that May.

“That was actually the first race I received a medal for,” Blancarte says. “That medal meant a lot to me because I had never received any sort of plaque or medal of any sort for running or doing anything athletic.”

Blancarte went on to run three half marathons, an Olympic-distance triathlon, the Bank of America

ACTIVE kids

By: Chris Palmquist What’s better than building snow forts, sledding and launching snowballs at trees? If we adults join our kids in the outdoor activities, we’ll nurture their love for the season. What greater gift can you give to your children than the ability to enjoy a season that dominates a big part of each year?

It’s all about a good hatIf your child (or you for that matter) doesn’t enjoy the season, start with the hat. Dressing appropriately can make a big di� erence in winter enjoyment . Make sure that everyone dresses in layers with good boots and insulated mittens. Remove layers if your child starts to perspire. Keep an eye out for cold ears, noses, � ngers and toes and warm up inside regularly.

Every day challengeMake it a challenge to get outside almost every day, even if just for a family walk around the block. Chil-dren and adults need some fresh air every day, and the wintery world can be fascinating to observe. Frequent outside experiences reset the brain from schoolwork, screen time and lack of daylight hours.

Polar Adventure Days� e Chicago Park District will o� er its 10th annual Po-lar Adventure Days at Northerly Island on Dec. 7, Jan. 25 and Feb. 22. Kids can create winter crafts, see winter wildlife and try winter sports – all free. Planned activities include dog sledding demonstrations, birds of prey and coyote presentations, a toddler zone that o� ers outdoor “ice � shing,” hot chocolate and free snowshoe rental.

Cross Country SkiingCamp Sagawau Nordic Center in Lemont (Cook County Forest Preserve) has o� ered groomed ski trails, family friendly ski rentals and weekend ski les-sons for decades. Rentals are $15 for individuals, $10 for seniors and $40 for a family. � e trail passes are free and PSIA-certi� ed ski instructors teach lessons for $20. Call 630-257-2045 for up-to-date conditions and hours.

� e Wheaton Park District o� ers ski rentals and les-sons at the Arrowhead Golf Club. Package rentals that include skis, boots and poles are $15 for adults and $10 for children. Skiing is free on the golf course and the adjacent Herrick Lake Forest Preserve trails. Call 630-653-5800 for snow conditions.

Morton Arboretum� e Morton Arboretum remains active during winter. Families can rent snowshoes and kids can participate in winter play in the Children’s Garden. See the Il-lumination display of lights throughout the trees or watch a dog sledding demonstration.

Check with your Park District and Forest PreserveMost park districts o� er outdoor skating rinks. For-est Preserves o� er groomed skiing trails. Go on a wildlife tracking hike. Practice outdoor photography in the winter woods. Enjoy a moonlight snowshoe walk. Get your warm hat and make the most of this wonderful season!

Juan Carlos Gonzalez Fourteen year old Juan Carlos Gonzalez has big goals. This freshman at Chicago High School for Agriculture Sciences dedi-cates his fall and winter to cyclocross and cross country and then focuses on triathlon all spring and summer. Every day after school, Juan rides his BMX bike and goes to either cross country practice or cyclocross practice. His hard work has paid off. In 2008, Juan was the USA Triathlon national champion for his age group. Recently, he finished as series leader in the 2012 and 2013 Chicago Cross Cup and had a good showing at the 2014 USA Cycling Cyclo-Cross Nationals. Juan has also won his age group at regional XTERRA races. In addi-tion to cyclocross and triathlon, he likes football, skateboarding, mountain biking and traveling and enjoys helping to train young athletes. In the future, Juan hopes to qualify for the XTERRA World Champi-onships, be the Chicago Cross Cup series leader for a third year and finish top 20 at the USAT National Championships.

A November Turkey Trot used to end the race season for Chicago runners, but not anymore. As race organizers add events to the winter scene, runners fi ll them up.

“We’re finding that you’ve got a lot of serious runners in Chicago who want to keep running and staying active through the winter, and they’ll come out to race,” Polar Dash Director Zach Edmonson says.

Gone are the days of shutting it down until the Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle. Check out some of the best running, riding and skiing opportunities for active Chicagoans to keep your training calendar full and fun through the winter.

Ted Haydon Holiday Track ClassicWhen: Dec. 20, 2014Where: University of ChicagoWebsite: www.uctc.org

The Ted Haydon Holiday Classic is a city running tradition. Haydon launched the classic in 1953 as a winter competition for the Univer-sity of Chicago Track Club and area athletes on holiday. Today it draws 550 individuals to compete on the track once again.

Held at the Henry Crown Field House on the University of Chicago campus, the classic has hosted runners age 2 to 70. Put a relay team together, go it alone or bring the family to this unique event.

New Year’s Day 5KWhen: Jan. 1, 2015Where: Lincoln Park, ChicagoWebsite: www.chicagoevents.com/event.cfm?eid=88

Make amends for New Year’s Eve debauchery with a shakeout run to kick off 2015. Now in its 30th year, the New Year’s Day 5K draws 1,500 runners to Lincoln Park to wind along the Lakefront Trail to Diversey and back to the Lincoln Park South Field House.

A merciful 11 a.m. horn buys you time to get to the starting line. Get some hair of the dog at the post-race party at O’Briens in Old Town, with raffl e prizes and complimentary drinks. At $25 before Dec. 1, the early-bird price makes for an affordable commitment.

S-No-W Fun RunWhen: Jan. 10, 2015Where: Lake Geneva, WisconsinWebsite: www.lakesarearunningclub.org

This race is less about the workout, more about the party… and there’s nothing wrong with that. The Lakes Area Running Club hosts what many call the best party race of the season. It starts with a five-mile run but ends at the Grand Geneva Resort, where shots of schnapps await to start a party inspired by the old Playboy Club.

Though known for its party, this race draws competitive runners as well, with medals awarded to the fastest and second fastest male and female of each age year.

Chicago Polar DashWhen: Jan. 10, 2015Where: Lakefront, ChicagoWebsite: www.chicagopolardash.org

Organizers have added a 1500-meter race to the event in addition to 5K, 10K, and 15-mile distances. Almost 4,000 registered for the dash in 2014, and race director Zach Edmonson says he hopes to move the starting line to Columbus Drive in 2015.

Icebreaker Indoor Marathon & Half MarathonWhen: January 23 - 25, 2015Where: Pettit National Ice Center, MilwaukeeWebsite: www.indoormarathon.com

Yes, a marathon on a track sounds boring, but give this race a shot. With a 5K, two half marathons, a marathon relay and a full mar-athon, the Icebreaker offers a distance for everyone on its 445.2 meter track, the largest indoor track in the country.

“I’ve never had anyone tell me it’s boring,” Race Director Chris Ponteri says. “The camaraderie is great. You’ve got fans cheer-ing you constantly, and inside the oval there is probably an Olympic speed skater training.”

The race features over 800 runners across all events and about 100 in the marathon. Most of us never have the lead pack in our sights for an entire race, but at the Icebreaker you’ll see them all day (as they lap you).

F^3 Lake Half MarathonWhen: Jan. 24, 2015Where: Lakefront, ChicagoWebsite: www.f3running.com

Started on a whim in 2009 by a group of running friends, the F^3 Lake Half Marathon quickly grew into something more than founder Kimberley Stedman imagined.

More than 100 runners joined her the fi rst year, and by 2012, 1,200 runners took on the icy winds of the lakeshore. The race starts at Soldier Field and ends with a post-race party at the United Club. Great race swag includes a bottle opener medal, beanie hat and running gloves you may just need on race day.

Long Runs at the Pettit National Ice CenterWhen: All winterWhere: Pettit National Ice Center, MilwaukeeWebsite: www.thepettit.com

Hate the cold, but hate the treadmill even more? Take the trip to Milwaukee for your long runs at the Pettit Center track.

The center saw a dramatic increase in winter runners in 2014 thanks to the polar vortex, but its new $110,000 track funded in part by the Badgerland Striders running club certainly didn’t hurt matters, either.

You can run inside for less than $4 a day at a run-perfect 55 degrees.

Ray’s Indoor Mountain Bike ParkWhen: All winterWhere: MilwaukeeWebsite: www.raysmtb.com

This little-known haven for mountain bikers and BMX riders 30 minutes northwest of downtown Milwaukee provides a great break from the norm for cyclists. Instead of going dormant for the winter, take your bike-handling skills up a notch and gain new confi dence in your riding. The park offers all terrain, disciplines and challenges for all skill levels.

Ray’s bills itself as a welcoming “fun, not attitude park,” so you don’t have to be an X Games afi cionado to put your tires down.

The 110,000 square-foot park, housed in a former Menards store, offers great deals for fi rst-timers. If you don’t want to haul your bike, it’s just $25 for a day pass and bike rental. If you bring your own bike, a day pass runs you $21 on weekdays, $27 on the weekend.

Cross Country SkiingWhen: All winterWhere: Forest Preserves of Cook County Website: www.fpdcc.com/recreation/cross-county-skiing

Cross-country skiing is a great low-impact off-season workout for runners. There aren’t many places to ski in the city, but all areas of the Forest Preserves of Cook County, excluding golf courses and most nature centers, are open to skiing.

The Sagawu Preserve in Lemont hosts a Nordic Ski Program with weekend lessons for adults and children of various levels of four miles of groomed trails.

For those in the city, Northerly Island is open to skiing and snowshoeing in January and February, allowing you to ski with the skyline as your backdrop. There’s no admission charge and rentals are available.

Finally, if you want to try a suburban trail outside the forest preserves, try the Morton Arboretum, which is open to skiing and offers rentals as well.

H-F Racquet & Fitness Club Indoor TriathlonWhen: Feb. 20 – 21Where: Homewood, ILWebsite: www.hfracquetandfi tness.com/IndoorTriathlon.php

If you’ve never done a triathlon, consider testing out the sport with an indoor tri. If you’re a veteran, this is a great way to stay in shape and hone your transitions with far less time and fi nancial commit-ment than a full triathlon.

The sixth annual H-F Indoor Triathlon is capped at 75 participants who race in four-person wave starts. Participants swim 10 minutes in the pool, pedal 20 minutes on the exercise bike, then run 15 minutes on the treadmill, with fi ve minutes allotted for each of the two transitions.

Warm Your Heart 5k When: February 2015Where: McCormick Place, Chicago Website: www.warmyourheart5k.com

McCormick Place is one of the few places big enough to host an indoor single-loop 5k. Prepare for a lot of turns as you maneuver through the convention center with 3,000 runners raising money for Northwestern Medicine’s Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute.

Organizers were still fi nalizing the 2015 date at press time.

BANK OF AMERICA CHICAGO MARATHON RECAP

Kenyans Claim Top Honors At 37th Bank of America Chicago Marathon

On a nearly perfect day for a race, Eliud Kipchoge and Rita Jeptoo broke the tape at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, leading the way for 40,802 total fi nishers.

Kipchoge ran with Sammy Kitwara and Dickson Chumba, both also of Kenya, until mile 25 where he broke away to cross the fi n-ish line in 2:04:11, six seconds off his personal record of 2:04:05, which he set in Berlin in 2013. The victory was Kipchoge’s third in a marathon and fi rst at a World Marathon Major.

“They say if you have a will, then you will be successful,” Kipchoge said after the race. “I had a will to transition to the marathon and that is why I have been able to win so well.”

Kitwara and Chumba fi nished second and third in the men’s race in 2:04:28 and 2:04:32, respectively, to complete the Kenyan sweep of the men’s podium.

Jeptoo continued to assert her dominance in women’s marathoning, claiming her third consecutive marathon win in 2:24:35, more than a minute before second place fi nisher Mare Dibaba of Ethiopia, who fi nished in 2:25:37. Florence Kiplagat of Kenya, the current half marathon world record holder, fi nished in 2:25:57. Jeptoo and Kiplagat took the lead between the 10K and 15K marks, but Jep-too’s 16:37 5K between the 35K and 40K marks sealed her victory. With the win, Jeptoo assured herself a championship in the 2013-2014 World Marathon Majors series.

Bobby Curtis and Amy Hastings were the fi rst two Americans across the fi nish line, taking ninth and fi fth in the men’s and women’s races, respectively.

In the wheelchair race, Tatyana McFadden once again proved herself to be indomitable, winning her fourth consecutive Bank of America Chicago Marathon in 1:44:50. McFadden’s win was her 11th World Marathon Majors victory and put her in position to attempt another grand slam attempt at the TCS New York City Marathon. 2006 Bank of America Chicago Marathon champion Joshua George won the men’s wheelchair race, edging out Australian Kurt Fearnley by a mere second to take the win in 1:32:12.

The 40,802 total fi nishers far surpasses last year’s record-setting race, which saw 38,870 runners cross the fi nish line.

TrainingPrograms.indd 3 10/20/14 9:29 PM

Q When did you get involved with Team Healthy Kids, and how did that involvement come about?A We initially joined forces when I ran across America from Los Angeles to New York City in 2011 as part of the then LIVE! with Regis & Kelly show (which is now the LIVE! with Kelly & Mi-chael show). Having two kids of my own and long advocating healthy active living in our youth, part-nering with Team Healthy Kids seemed like a logi-cal fit. During the run across the country I stopped at 15 schools along the way and spoke about the im-portance of eating right and exercising. We raised nearly $200,000 during the run and have kept the partnership strong ever since.

Q What do you do as a member of Team Healthy Kids?A I serve primarily as an ambassador and spokesper-son. I’m also involved with our fundraising efforts

and supporting the Team Healthy Kids runners that sign up for the various marathons. We have an awards and recognition event before the race where I address the group and then we all run the marathon together. It’s a great honor for me to be affiliated with Team Healthy Kids and all the good the organiza-tion does for the youth of America.

Q What did you enjoy the most about this year’s Bank of America Chicago Marathon?A I first ran the [LaSalle Bank] Chicago Marathon back in 2006 as part of a 50 marathon, 50 states, 50 straight days endeavor I was attempting. Chicago was my 36th marathon of the 50 and I finished that year in 3:37. Since then, I’ve run the Bank of America Chicago Marathon many times, including once doing a double marathon as a promotion for Volkswagen (I finished the first “official” marathon and then ran a second loop). This year I particularly liked stopping for a fresh piece of baklava when passing through Greektown.

Q How did this year’s race go for you?A The race went fine. I just returned from Eu-rope competing in a 153-mile footrace called the Spartathlon. My legs were still pretty tired from that long ultramarathon so I didn’t have any specific time goal for Chicago this year, just to finish. Which I did (and enjoyed ever step of the way!).

Q When you’re not racing in Chicago, where do you like to spend your time?A Chicago is one of my favorite cities. You can usually find me running along the lakefront and swimming during the summertime. I’ve also run the Hustle Up the Hancock, which was a pretty outrageous experience. Of course, all of this ex-ercise is just an excuse so that I can head over to Greektown and indulge. I’m 100 percent Greek and there are some of the greatest Greek restaurants in the world in Chicago’s Greektown. Opa!
