2013 RUNOHIO Grand Prix Winners and Interviews by Matt McGowan The 2013 RUNOHIO Grand Prix was a series of races chosen by runners and the staff of RUNOHIO to be part of a statewide grand prix. Criteria used in determining the RUNOHIO Grand Prix races were: 1) Runners ranking from RUNOHIO, 2) Race Organization, 3) Quality of the race field, 4) Size of the race, 5) Geographical location, 6) Date of the race, 7) Distance of the race. RUNOHIO also tried to have only one race on a given weekend and not pick holiday races.
Early races on the 2014 RUNOHIO Grand Prix include: March 2nd – Columbus Arnold 5K/Arnold 5K Pump and Run, March 8th – Columbus Grove Beer Bottle Open 4 Miler, March 15th – Cleveland St. Malachi 5 Miler, and March 16th – Cincinnati Heart Mini Marathon 15km. JASON ORDWAY Jason Ordway, 26, is from Holgat and now lives in Oakwood. He is a graduate assistant working on his Master’s degree in Exercise Science at the University of Dayton and works at the run specialty store Up and Running. When and how did you first start running? “I first started running with my Dad and three older siblings. Everyone else did it pretty well so I figured I’d give it a shot too. I found out I had a knack for running and loved doing it so I kept going and never looked back.” How do you train and what is your favorite workout? “I do most of my training and workouts alone because there aren’t too many people around who I can train with, and due to my random schedule it can be difficult to get the runs in that I need to. I focus on doing a decent amount of miles, most of them very easy, and get after the workouts hard.. My favorite workout is a long tempo run (10-12 miles). It really builds my strength and confidence.” Why do you run? “I run because, in my opin-
Any advice for runners who want to improve their running? “The best way to improve your running is simply get out and run. Finding a good group, mixing it up, and rewarding yourself also help a lot.” JOSH ORDWAY Josh Ordway, 33, lives in Franklin and is in solo practice as a family practice doctor at Franklin Family Practice. He is accepting new patients, offers same day appointments, and loves treating runners.
Jason Ordway Josh Ordway ion, it is the best form of exercise. It also allows me to pig out on just about anything I want! I love pushing myself and racing the clock and other people.. The racing scene in Ohio is so great it makes running incredibly fun.” What do you think of the RUNOHIO Grand Prix? What races were your favorites? “I really like the RUNOHIO Grand Prix. It adds another dimension to the road racing scene and it gives everyone something to chase after. I really liked the Lou Cox 5K this year, and the Youngstown Peace Race 10K did a fantastic job as well. I had a great race at one, and a relatively poor race at the other but everyone involved was great and I left with a great experience at both. The race directors really cater to runners of all levels, and I have been treated very well at both. I would strongly recommend both races to everyone.” Any advice for runners who want to improve their running? “Listening to your body is the best advice I can give. If it hurts ice it or take some time off. No one wants a little pain to become a big one.. If it makes you change your form or hurts all the time, running or not,
Matt Folk it’s a good indicator there’s something a bit more serious going on. Also, consistent training leads to better results than yoyo-ing with training too hard, getting injured, and then trying to bounce back.” MATTHEW FOLK Matthew Folk, 37, grew up in Oregon, Ohio and now lives in Perrysburg where he is the General Manager of the Second Sole Toledo Running Store When and how did you first start running? “I started running my sophomore year of high school by going out for the cross country team trying to earn a varsity letter.” How do you train and what is your favorite workout? “I do higher mileage and in the core weeks of marathon training do about 10-11 runs per week. Within that I usually try to do a long run, a speed workout, and a tempo run. This summer there was a good group of us in our thirties that were doing some workouts together and one of the favor-
ites was a track workout of 800 hard, 200 moderately easy, 200 hard, 400 easy doing 6 to 8 sets. Recently I have been falling victim to doing too many easy runs without enough workouts and hoping to snap out of it.” Why do you run? “The challenges and feeling of accomplishment. I can’t remember the last time I finished a run a thought “that was a waste of time.” What do you think of the RUNOHIO Grand Prix? What races were your favorites? “It is a good series of the top races in Ohio and gives an extra competitive incentive against other Ohio runners. This year my favorite RUNOHIO Grand Prix Race was the Lou Cox 5km . A group of us from the Toledo area carpooled down that morning and many of us ran our best 5k time of the year. It was as good competitive race in which there was someone to battle the entire way helping pull you to a fast time. The Columbus 10K was also a nice one with it being back to the day after the state high school track and field championships. It gave a nice combo to spend the weekend in Columbus.”
When and how did you first start running? “The summer before 7th grade started, my mom told me to start running with my dad so that I wouldn’t embarrass myself during my first cross country season. That was 20 years ago.” How do you train and what is your favorite workout? “Now that residency is finally over, I once again have a set training schedule, which includes a morning run at 6:00am and an afternoon run at 6:00pm. Fartleks and tempo runs are the driving forces behind my training. 15-25 x 1:00 hard, 1:00 easy is probably my favorite because it’s the least mentally taxing and can be done fairly safely in the dark” Why do you run? “Most of all because I enjoy it. It’s also a great stress relief, and it’s fun to compete.” What do you think of the RUNOHIO Grand Prix? Which races were your favorites? “The RUNOHIO Grand Prix is and always will be a great collection of races. It encourages the best runners of all age groups to compete against each other and improve. The Columbus 10K, Columbus Running Company Mile Dash, and Hyde Park Blast are my favorites. I hope to run more of the RUNOHIO Grand Prix races next year.” Any advice for runners who want to improve their running? “Slow down on your easy

2013 RUNOHIO Grand Prix Winners and Interviews, cont. days. People run so fast on their easy days. It’s no wonder I hear people talk about how dead their legs are all the time. Listen to your body, not last year’s training log, and you may be surprised at how much longer and/or faster you’ll be able to do your hard workouts.” JESSICA ODORCIC Jessica Odorcic, 32, lives in Madison where she is a stay at home mom and caterer. When and how did you first start running? “I first started running when I was 15 years old and going into my junior year of high school. My stepdad encouraged me to try running because he was very athletic and thought that I might be a good runner. I had never done any sports up until this point. I started off that summer running a few road races here and there, until finally I ran a race where one of the girls on my high school cross country team saw me and told the coach about me. The coach contacted me and I ended up going out for cross country that fall.” How do you train and what is your favorite workout? “I am coached by Glenn Andrews and I am a part of Cleveland Elite Development. A typical week of training for me consists of long runs, a track workout, and tempo runs. Right now, I am coming back from a back injury so I throw in the occasional elliptical session once per week in place of a long run. My favorite workouts would have to be 400s at the track and also my tempo runs. I feel like I get a great workout after a good 8 - 10 mile tempo run.” Why do you run? “I run for several reasons: 1. I enjoy racing and being competitive; 2. So that I can eat a lot ( I love desserts!) 3. To stay in shape; 4. Now that I am a Mom, I want to set a good example for my son and show him that excerising and being healthy is fun.”
What do you think of the RUNOHIO Grand Prix? What races were your favorites? “I think the RUNOHIO Grand Prix is a great idea. It encourages friendly competition amongst the running community and is good advertisement for the road races. My favorite race this year was definitely the Akron Half Marathon. I ran a time of 1:14:23 which qualified me for the 2016 Olympic Marathon Trials and I also ran a PR. It was a great race with wonderful organization and great crowd support!” Any advice for runners who want to improve their running? “My advice for runners wanting to improve their running would be to make sure they are doing a track workout every week and a tempo run. I did not do tempo runs on a regular basis until about a year ago and I believe that they have drastically improved my performance.” CATHERINE FENSTER Catherine Fenster, 42, lived in Ashland and recently moved with her husband to Durango, Colorado where she is currently working as a nurse in cardiac rehabilitation. When and how did you first start running? “I started running in high school. At the time I was a competitive gymnast, but after landing on my head, I thought that track and field might be a safer way to expend some energy. I formed lasting friendships with my running friends and they encouraged me to try cross county. My dad was also a runner and my first longer distance runs were with him.” How do you train and what is your favorite workout? “I run about 50 miles a week and with a couple of long runs (11 plus miles) and couple of higher intensity runs (strides or longer intervals). Currently my favorite work out is up a trail called Twin Buttes that starts about half a mile from my house. At the end of a 45 minute up-hill run I reach a high point that overlooks a
Jessica Odorcic Cate Fenster gorgeous mountain meadow, and then it’s mostly downhill back home.” What do you think of the RUNOHIO Grand Prix? What races were your favorites? “I enjoy the RUNOHIO Grand Prix races because they are well organized. I extend my thanks to all the organizers and volunteers. My favorite race of 2013 was the Beer Bottle Open. ...flat and fast, cool weather, and great awards (beer steins). Why do you run? “For me running is great escape and allows me to be fully present in the moment. Running is also a great excuse to get outside ..I enjoy the scenery and experiencing the weather.” Any advice for runners who want to improve their running? “While I think it is important to get in at least a couple of high intensity runs a week, I don’t follow a rigid running plan. I believe listening to your body can help keep you stay injury free and motivated. For example, save your hard runs for days when your legs feel springy, and don’t be afraid to take a couple of days off if you develop an ache or pain. I also
incorporate core strength training because it seems to reduce problems I’ve had with my back and hips. Studies show it may also increase running efficiency.” CHRISTINA MURPHY Christina Murphy, 33, grew up in Carroll and now lives in Columbus where she is a chiropractor. When and how did you first start running? “I began running as a little kid, probably 5 years old. I would run up and down my Grandpa’s farm lane all afternoon to the point of exhaustion (and found it fun!) After some begging on my part, my parents let me enter my first one mile fun run when I was 6. I didn’t do any organized running until track and cross country in junior high. I started running the mile in the 8th grade and from there went on to have a decent high school career.” How do you train and what is your favorite workout? “Before July of this year I pretty much wrote my own training, I included a tempo
Christina Murphy run and long run most weeks but had much less structure and hovered around 50 miles per week. I decided to follow a plan out of Advanced Marathoning by Pete Pfitzinger for my first marathon in October (Columbus.) I did the 70-85 plan and geared my training towards a 6:12 marathon pace. My favorite workout is the long run with a marathon paced run at the end (6 easy, 14 at MRP, etc.) This is by far the most challenging workout, but a huge confidence and strength booster. I’m looking forward to incorporating more VO2 max type track workouts in future training.” Why do you run? “I run because I truly enjoy it. I spent a lot of time in my late teens and early twenties injured and wasn’t sure that I would run competitively again. I run for Columbus Running Company which has been really fun. My husband and I both work a lot (and we actually bring our almost two year old daughter to work with us) so I love having that time carved out during the day for a run. As far as the competitive component of running, that has been

races were your favorites? “Twenty plus years ago two of my teammates, Mondo Tijerina and Curt Verhoff, told me about a great hometown race of the Beer Bottle Open in Columbus Grove. Two years ago, my son and I went up and ran for the first time. Race director Terry Schnipke turns out the whole community for a flat and fast four mile race. The roads are closed for the event, there’s a 3/4 mile straightaway finish in downtown Columbus Grove. There are many volunteers for post race massage and awards at the High School. Many of the current Grand Prix races have been part of the series for the past 25 years and this provides continuity. I ran in the very first Lou Cox 5k race in 1988 and I believe they joined the Grand Prix in 1990.”
What do you think of the RUNOHIO Grand Prix? What races were your favorites? “I loved participating in some of the RUNOHIO Grand Prix races. I checked it last January to make a rough plan of what and where I would race this year, because I knew there would be good competition and the courses would be great. My favorite was The Columbus Marathon but I really did enjoy the others that I ran. The CRC Mile Dash was really fun and both Columbus and Minster 10Ks were great. Any advice for runners who want to improve their running? “My best advice is to keep working at it and keep it fun. Setting goals is huge because it reminds you every day why you’re running. Finding an organized club or group to do speed work and longer runs with can provide some structure to training and keep you motivated. I also think strength work is really valuable, it keeps your form intact when your tired and can help prevent injuries.” JASON NEWPORT Jason Newport, 43, lives in Eaton where he works in the banking field. When did you start running? “Back in 1982, I started running after watching my sister’s junior high track meet. I went to a small high school in Lewisburg and didn’t know what cross country was until my freshman year of high school. I was thankful for coach Jack Hazen at Malone University to take me on as a walk-on in 1989. I had no idea how to train, rarely ran over 15 miles a week and had great group of friends at Malone. I was a team member on four straight championship teams at the All-Ohio Collegiate meet placing 22nd, 17th and 8th. Our team had the opportunity to travel to meets across the country from Seattle,
Jason Newport San Francisco, Dallas, New York, Boston, Philadelphia and across the Midwest. How do you train and what is your favorite workout? “I do speedwork twice a week consisting of 12 x 400’s and 4 x 1600’s with one Anaerobic Threshold run bi-weekly of 6 to 10 miles. My favorite workout is running while my wife bikes. She is my daily support team.” Why do you run? “Running is 6th or 7th on my priority chain. At my age of 43, I have faced the reality that PR’s are long past, but I still enjoy competing and training with friends. When the kids were younger, we used to travel to races throughout the Midwest and go to a local children’s museum or zoo afterwards. They were great weekend trips. My two oldest kids are now 16 and 14. They started running in junio high and it is great to go on a run with them. We have a great coach at Eaton High School, Randy McKinney, who has been coaching for 32 years so I enjoy going to meets to support their teams and their progression.: What do you think of the RUNOHIO Grand Prix? What
Any advice for runners who want to improve their running? “If you are currently in junior high or high school, follow your coach’s guidance. Their years of experience developing athletes are critical to your progression/development. If out of school, finding a mentor or training group can make a huge impact. I listened to Coach Hazen share with coaches, athletes and team members that a student athlete’s training plan should be about adapting the body to handle additional training stress. Guiding a younger runner through the transition of additional volume and intensity successfully is critical to long term sustained success. Coach would share that the human body will be at its peak performance between ages 26 and 30 if you are consistent in training while having limited injuries.” DON LECK Don Leck, 55 lives in Maumee where he is a Hearing Officer for the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services When and how did you first start running? “I ran cross-country and track at E.L. Bowsher High School. My family had just moved to South Toledo and I didn’t know anybody. I joined
Don Leck
the team after hearing the coach speak at freshmen orientation; I figured it would be a way to meet others. It worked. I did not run much after high school. At age 37 I learned I had high cholesterol and so thought running would reduce it. I was wrong, but I must have caught the “running bug” as I have been running since.” How do you train and what is your favorite workout? “Base miles in winter then progress into workouts. I began workouts early in 2013 in order to compete at the USATF Master Indoor Championships. Once in training for a particular race a typical week’s workouts would likely consist of one long run, one tempo run or fartlek, a hard workout, and maybe an easy workout. Recovery is important, so if I need it, my 7 day week turns into a 10 day week. The length of race dictates my workout schedule. I like to key in on 3 to 4 races per year from 5k to 10k. My favorite workouts are fartlek, 400m/800m track repeats, and one mile to 1.6 mile repeats.” Why do you run? Why not run? What do you think of the RUNOHIO Grand Prix? What
races were your favorites? “This is the first year that I really committed to participating in the RUNOHIO Grand Prix. There are many great aspects. It pulled me into some of Ohio’s great races - decent competition - and one can keep track of who’s who from Ohio. I do wish though that there were more races in northwest Ohio. All of the races I competed in this year were well managed and unique in their own way. Beer Bottle Open is and has been one of my favorites for years. It’s a great early-season test. A flat, four-turn, four-mile course; steins to top 10 and beer mugs deep into each age group; with much fun to be had afterward at Miller’s Bar. I am also a big fan of Minster aka Oktoberfest - beer there too; I did not make it there this year due to injury. It was my first time at Lou Cox in 2013; definitely a PR course – which I like.” Any advice for runners who want to improve their running? “First, decide if you love the sport. Second, find things that motivate i.e. finding a good group, mixing it up, and rewarding your-self (have I mentioned beer). Third, learn the sport. What worked for me was utilizing a coach. At age 50 I learned more in 3 months from my coach than the previous 13 years of running. I hit 5 lifetime PRs since becoming a grand master.” MARY JENKINS Mary Jenkins, 52, lives in Huntsville where she is a quality inspector. When and how did you first start running? “I started running in 1999 for “Team in Training to run the Honolulu Hawaii Marathon. After cross the finish line, I was hooked.” How do you train and what is your favorite workout? “I was not able to run all summer due to a stress fracture. I usually run around 60 miles weekly with two days off, with Sunday for my long run. I do a lot of my running on my treadmill. I have been using “The

However, just like speed work, too much is not productive. Frankly, it took me 40 years to understand and accept. Randy Cox will not believe that I wrote this!!”
When and how did you first start running? “I went out for the track team in 1968 at Worthington High School because my parents, wisely, refused to let me play football. I ran the 220 (no metric system then). The coach was Les Eisenhart – who they have since named the track after. The following Fall I went out for the cross country team to get in better shape for track and fell in love with distance running. I have been competing at various distances thru college and beyond for the past 45 years.” Mary Jenkins Big Book of Marathon Training”. My favorite workout is Yasso 800’s. Why do you run? “Running is my outlet. I do a lot of thinking while I run. I love the feeling I have when I am finished with my run. I have met so many runners that have become good friends.” What do you think of the RUNOHIO Grand Prix? What races were your favorites? “I love the idea of the RUNOHIO Grand Prix. There are so many good, fun races of all distances. Due of my injury I was unable to run my favorite race the Minster Oktoberfest 10km. The Columbus 10K has always been a classic. I ran the Lou Cox 5km this year for the first time and enjoyed it.” Any advice for runners who want to improve their running? “Consently try to change things up. Try adding tempo runs, hill workouts and speed work at the track. I found running races often, has made me a better and faster runner.”
TOM ECKEL Tom Eckel, 60, lives in Milford where he is the Vice President of Engineering for a packaging company.
How do you train and what is your favorite workout? “I have been very fortunate over the years to have terrific training partners. Currently I am a member of the Earth Drummers, coached by Randy Cox. The training program consists of three periods – Thanksgiving thru March it is focused on building a base – long runs, longer tempo runs and hills. April thru June there is much track work, shorter distance, higher intensity to get into race shape. June thru November I race. I currently run 6-7 days each week, targeting 50-60 miles per week. After many, many years as a marathoner, five years ago I discovered master ’s track meets which allowed me to get back to my miler-roots. My favorite workouts are sets of 600-200 meters with short rest, at mile race pace.” Why do you run? “There are a handful of reasons why I run. On one level I run to reduce stress from work and life. It is the one part of my life over which I have full control – I decide when, how far, how fast. On another, I love to compete. One of the developments that have kept me coming back was the creation of 5-year age groups. (Although nothing is better than beating people younger than myself!) Finally, I really enjoy my training partners. Long runs with

our group (mostly younger people) are stimulating and fun and give me a chance to share some experiences. The social aspect has become more important over the years as my times have slowed.” What do you think of the RUNOHIO Grand Prix? What races were your favorites? “For a number of years I have wanted to participate in the RUNOHIO Grand Prix, but the commitment to a specific number of races never seemed to fit my schedule at the time. Last year I specifically made the RUNOHIO Grand Prix a priority. And it was a GREAT decision! I ran races and met people in places that I never knew existed. New races on new courses with new people re-energized me. It was a terrific experience. I especially enjoyed the Beer Bottle Open – both the course and the post-race stew. I never had stew after a race before! It was WAY better than bagels and sports drink. Any advice for runners who want to improve their running “Rest is training. Incorporated into a program along
When did you start running? “I started running about 6 months after the birth of my child Emilie, 36 years ago. I had gained a lot of weight during pregnancy and lost it only to find myself gaining it back. I was experiencing the blues many women get after childbirth. One Sunday afternoon I read that running creates endorphins which make you feel good and controls your weight. I decided to try it and have been running ever since. I ran a half a mile at first and gradually built up to six miles a day. Today I run 50 miles a week.” How do you train and what is your favorite workout? “I run 6 miles on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday (unless I am running a 5km or 10km race.) On Tuesday I run 3 in the morning and then join a speed work group at the Buckeye Running Store in Mason for a 6 mile grueling workout. On Sunday I join friends for a long run at least 10 miles in length depending on my training schedule. I also do weight 3 times a week, swim 3 miles a week and do yoga twice a week.” “My favorite workout is the speed workout because our coach Brett Arnold brings out the best in all of us!” Why do I run? “To relieve stress, stay healthy, keep the weight off and find inner peace. Besides it is fun most of the time!”
Jean Schmidt
What do you think of the RUNOHIO Grand Prix? Which races were your favorite races? “The RUNOHIO Grand Prix is well advertised and well run. The events are safe, have appropriate fueling stops and great volunteers. My favorite race is the Flying Pig Marathon (Last year it was my 100th marathon). It is one of the best managed events in the country. The crowd support is great, the fueling stations are every mile, the medal is the best and it is in Cincinnati!” Any advice for runners who want to improve their running? “Consistency and speed work. If you want to run better you have to be consistent in your training. Follow a plan and stick to it. (Run in the rain you will not melt. Run in the cold you will warm up after the first mile.) If you need encouragement find a running partner or a group. Also do speed work on a weekly basis. Find a local high school track for your speed work. I find doing speed work with a group makes me run stronger and faster. Speed work is key to running faster.
