HELPFUL

HINTS W

e are starting our 15th year at The Running Center and over the years many of the same issues come up regarding running or walking problems. I have discussed some of these problems in other articles but feel they should be revisited along with some hints about other foot problems.

eliminate the discomfort. There are heelcushions that will provide some comfort for sore heels. There is a sock you can wear when sleeping to help with sore heels when you get up in the morning. If you have a sore knee or IT band there are straps that might help you recover or ease the discomfort.

First of all, you must be fitted properly for your shoes. Most people wear shoes that are too short because feet get longer and flatter as you age. Your feet will get any where from a ½ size to a 1 ½ sizes bigger when you exercise. You must also be aware of the width of a shoe and make sure you don’t feel any excess pressure around the ball of your foot. If you are on your feet all day at work your feet will swell up just like you were running. That means you need to have a thumb nail or about an inch from your longest toe to the end of the shoe and you should feel like you could “play a piano with your toes”. The feeling of freedom in the shoe will allow you to run or walk with less discomfort. One must also consider the depth of the shoe because if the shoe bothers your ankle bone when trying it on, that feeling will get worse. As you wear shoes they start to customize themselves to your foot, become a bit more flexible and your foot sinks a little into the shoe.

Inserts can be useful for providing additional support or cushioning. If you tend to roll in, try an insert that has a stronger medial post or feels a little stiffer under your arch. If you are running on concrete most of the time, try a cushioned insert and it will help your body absorb more shock. Concrete is about 10 times harder than the asphalt so give yourself a little more cushioning if you are on this surface most of the time. If you have access to a pool (not heated) when you get through running or walking put your legs, at least from your knees down , in the pool for 5 minutes. You will find this helps with reducing soreness. Roll a tennis ball on the bottom of your foot and this will help minor soreness on the fascia of your foot. If you can walk or run through minor discomfort you should do so because the body will recover. If a discomfort gets worse as you exercise you need to stop and look into the problem. If discomfort persists more than a week or so you need to see a medical professional to see the exact cause so you don’t injure yourself further.

Over the counter items can be useful to care for minor problems with your feet. If you have a sore Achilles tendon you might try putting a thin wedge underneath the heel of the insert, this will shorten the extension of your Achilles tendon and provide some relief. If the ball of your foot seems to be sore, there are metatarsal pads which can be placed just behind your metatarsal arch which may

Hopefully, this info helps and keeps you exercising in a pain free manner.

TAMPA BAY RACE COUNCIL – November/2013

written by Lynn Gray

Dear Race Directors, Organizers and Participants,

The Tampa Bay Race Council is now underway and we would like to share our goals as it relates to the race event community.

* To promote camaraderie, professionalism, and unity among new and existing race directors with the emphasis on helping each other market their race; with the inclusion of assisting with volunteerism whenever possible * To implement a code of ethics among existing and new race directors as it relates to their implementation of road racing and/or other road/triathlon/adventure events * To establish a unified yearly calendar to foster non-duplication of race events as much as possible * To provide programs and services aimed at educating new race directors, such that their event goal is done with the highest amount of success

Thus Far: * The council has decided on putting our logo on all races, which have our complete backing resulting from ethical and professional practices * The council welcomes race directors to join us on Facebook and profit by gaining more race direction knowledge and increase participant sign-up from increased cross marketing * An ongoing all inclusive race calendar is being developed, in hopes of minimizing duplication of events. This calendar will assist participants in the planning of their events in advance. * Council meetings will be held monthly alternating between the locations of St. Petersburg and Tampa; this way both sides of the bay are accommodated with the drive. * Each month, one race director will provide a brief presentation on an aspect of their race proven to be successful and which may help guide and educate the rest of us. * There is now increased cross-marketing with each other in helping to get the word out among race participants. If you are currently a race director or are about ready to become one, be it a road race or a triathlon, feel free to contact me. Sincerely,

Lynn Gray

President Tampa Bay Race Council

Making the Transition to Obstacle Racing By Pete Williams

bstacle races require athletes to have a versatile skill set. The events require strength and endurance, combining running with climbing ropes and walls, carrying logs, and crawling through claustrophobia-inducing tunnels. Since many athletes fall into two camps – distance runners and the anaerobic strengthtraining gym crowd - they often lack the overall fitness to navigate an obstacle course without walking parts of it.
