THE STARTING LINEStephen Lofy

The Prez

he Asparagus Festival Runproved to be another greatsuccess and the weather

cooperated after all, with some heat but atleast it didn't rain. Our June club meetingwill be at Arie Hopes house on June 10that 6:30. The road on the way to Arieshouse is still under construction, butcurrently unobstructed.

That Good feeling When I talk of getting that good feelingfrom running I'm not just talking about themagical runners high, but t he everyday good feeling youget from feeling more aliveafter a run, as well as thementally good feeling thatgoes with accomplishing anobjective.

At 5 am it seems moredifficult to convince myself of the benefitsof running over the benefits ofaccomplishing a full night's sleep. But if Ican turn my robot self on, and stop therationalizations and bargaining, it's notlong before my feet hit the floor and therest is a cake walk.

The good feelings comes in many forms,mostly occurring immediately after orwithin a few days of having done a greatworkout. One of the first good feelings isthe dissipation of guilt from not havingtaken care of your body. Anotherimmediate feeling is that sense of reliefwhen you can stop running and catch yourbreath. Other feelings include that alivefeeling when you move or stretch soremuscles.

I have written down some more of thefeelings to look forward to when youkeep fit:

The feeling of fitting into smaller

clothes.

When people stop talking about

your gut/butt and start

calling you skinny.

When the doctor tells you are in

great shape for your age. ( I hope

he's not just commenting on how

old I've gotten)

Knowing that you have decreasedthe likelihood of heartattack, Stroke, cancer andother health problems thatoccur with the naturalaging processes.

Keeping up withkids andgrandkids

Telling the stories of yourrunning adventures

Having a bond with other runners

Being a role model for a healthylifestyle

High school reunions

Feelings nothing more thanfeelings

The RUNNERS HIGH

With all of these potential good feelingsyou can see that it really is worth theeffort in the end.

See everyone at the fun run. Stephen Lofy,

Best-Kept SecretsRunning Commentary 917

Joe Henderson

The more I learn about running, the lesscertain I am of what I really know.“Accepted” ideas and techniques are found

not to be necessarily true or correct. “Logical”theories about the sport often defy logic when putinto practice. What follows are the views of onewho long ago quit believing everything he read orheard:

1. Attitudes. The act of running isn’t“fun,” at least not in the ha-ha sense.“Satisfying” is a better word – the quiettype of satisfaction felt by an artist in theact of creating. It isn’t satisfying every day.Some days feel so-so, some downrightawful, but you wade through those days toreach the one or two a week that satisfyyou… There may be no such thing as a“runner’s high,” but a “non-runner’s low”is very real and something we try toavoid... The“loneliness of the long-distancerunner” is a myth. The chance to be aloneisn’t a negative of running; it becomes oneof the main attractions.

2. Fitness. Most runners aren’t fit in theways all-round fitness usually is measured.Ours is a specialized exercise yielding onlyone-dimensional fitness... Most runnersdon’t care if they’re all-round fit or not, aslong as they can run far and fast... Runningisn’t the perfect exercise. If it’s only exercise youwant, some combination of walking, swimmingand bicycling will give better results with lesspain... Running only for exercise is as limiting aseating only to strengthen the jaw muscles.

3. Running. The hardest part of any run is thefirst step out the door. The hardest mile is usuallythe first one... You feel less, not more, tired as youwarm up. You feel better at the end of most runsthan you did at the start... Don’t listen to your bodyat the start and let it dictate what you do. The bodyis a notorious liar then, looking for an excuse to do

nothing. Treat the first mile or two as a gentlewarmup and a lie-detector. The body will then tellyou which problems are real and which are imaginary.

4. Training. Racing is an unnatural act, and youmust prepare for it by doing unnatural activities.That means sometimes running farther or faster, orboth, than nature intended... Extra-long runs, speed

training and races are prescriptionitems. They can help or hurt,depending on their dosage... Everydose of excessive effort must befollowed by several doses of easier,more natural running. The secret tomaking the hard work WORK is therecovery interval afterward... Everyoneknows the ingredients of training:going far enough, fast enough and easyenough. The secret to success isknowing how to combine them into aproper recipe... Training isincreasingly scientific, but applyingthe principles properly is still an art.

5. You may HAVE a good time at thebiggest races, but you’ll RUN yourbest times at the smaller ones. Saveyour big efforts for the small, well-conducted events... A little terror is agood to feel before racing. It meansyour mind is readying your body to go

beyond its normal limits... Take a showerBEFORE a morning race. This serves both as awarmup and a wakeup... Most runners warm uptoo much before road races and cool down toolittle afterward, most of them start their races tooquickly and finish too slowly, and most would feelbetter and do better by reversing those practices...The best races often seem the easiest, the worstones always hurt the most.

6. Medicine. Pain is a friend to be heeded, not afoe to be fought or ignored. It is a friendly warningthat something is (please see SECRETS Page 6)

6 June 2012 The Sprint

— SECRETS —

wrong and if heeded it can be stopped early.Enduring pain doesn’t equal gain. It adds up tomore and more pain, until all running must cease...Everyone needs a big injury. It shows what runningreally means to you and teaches you better lessonsabout injury-prevention than any author or speakerever could... Time is the best healer – and the onlytreatment required for most running ailments. Sixweeks will cure most injuries, provided the stressthat caused the problem is reduced or eliminated...Few running injuries are serious (when judged bythe standards of football knees and ski ankles), andvery few problems are permanent.

7. Diet. You burn about the same number ofcalories per mile while running easily as you do byrunning hard. So if you’re out to lose weight, slowdown and go longer... Lighter weight usuallymeans faster races, but you may feel healthier andhappier while carrying a few extra pounds...Instead of carbohydrate-loading before a race,RELOAD afterward. It’s both more necessarywhen you’re depleted and more fun when youdon’t have to worry about the side-effects of abinge... The most necessary drink before, duringand after running is plain water.

8. Equipment. Most runners wear too much.They dress too warmly (not to mentionexpensively) for the day. They wear shoes that aretoo heavy for their needs... The rule of thumb forboth clothing and shoes is: wear the least you canget by with, not the most you can tolerate (orafford)... Today’s shoes are made for road running.The support and cushioning features are excellent.But these same properties make them difficult touse on rough, off-road surfaces. The light-weight,low-tech shoes of yesteryear may work better there.

9. Publications. The best-kept secret in bookpublishing is Tom Osler’s Serious Runner’sHandbook – a masterpiece of simple wisdom andreadable writing... The oldest of magazines, Track& Field News, remains the standard-setter forauthoritative information. Long-distance runningcould use a news magazine of this quality...Regional and specialized publications

(Ultrarunning and National Masters News, to nametwo) are more valuable to some readers than moregeneral magazines.

10. Age. Aging is a myth, or at least the supposedrate of decline in performance with age is. Allrunners have the potential to improve for manyyears, regardless of when they start to race... Sevenyears is a common improvement period. Thatseems to be about as long as most people willtolerate serious training, especially when their raceresults level off... The “golden age of running” isa personal matter. You look back most fondly onthe years when every course was new, every runoffered a fresh revelation, every race a bettertime.... There is life after racing. Some of your bestrunning days begin after the last PR is set and thepressure to perform eases off.

UPDATE: I bend a rule of mine here by rerunninga column that later went into a book. This one (inlonger form) made the pages of my RunningHandbook, which came and went quickly in 1986after attracting only a few hundred readers. Somepoints made here aren't as “secret” now as theywere a quarter-century ago. Yet I’m surprised tosee how many of them still need arguing, and howfew I’d reject now.
