oe Henderson, one of our sport’s most prolific and thoughtful writers, once called crosscountry the meeting place of marathoners and milers. Cross country courses vary in distance and challenge. The ones we remember are the tough courses or that perfect day when the legs never tire and the finish line comes just at the right time.

In the U.S., cross country is a fall sport. 490,000 high school boys and girls ran cross country in 2009. Add to that nearly 100,000 junior college and college athletes, and you have a sizable number of participants.

I remember walking the Mt. SAC XC Invitational course with the late Doug Speck, amazed at how many races could be done on such tough terrain on such a warm day, and the hundreds of tents where teams were camped out. I distributed more than 10,000 copies of Athletes Only in one day, dropping off a bundle of 15 for each team, and I was fascinated with the precision that Mt. SAC coach Doug Todd and his athletes put into making the largest cross country invitational anywhere.

My favorite cross country course? Well, I loved Crystal Springs in Belmont, California, and I still do. I raced there in high school, college and club, and loved the intensity of the course and also the cheering by the fans.

But I have never forgotten racing 12K over hill, dusty trail and myriad creek crossings in Nisene Marks Park, near Santa Cruz, California. The course was challenging and it was hot, and as we ran, single file, I remember trying to pass this guy just ahead of me for about a mile. At one creek crossing, we had an option: We could climb across a fallen tree or just get soaked. I chose getting soaked, and refreshed by the cold, clear water, I charged up the next hill and passed him. Like most races, the pats on the back after the race, a cold beverage and stories like this are what one remembers.

Each end of season, I enjoy going to the NXN or Footlocker events, and seeing how another generation has embraced our great sport!

ere’s a prediction about USA Track & Field’s near future: No matter who succeeds Doug Logan—male or female, from within the sport or from the outside— U.S. athletes will continue to win the medals race at the Olympics and world championships. Meanwhile, conflict will continue between the board and CEO and among the CEO and the sport’s various constituencies.

Currently the U.S. Olympic movement appears dysfunctional, which may be inevitable in organizations run by volunteers. The USOC goes through executives like they’re coaches for a losing NFL franchise.

National federations do the same thing, though USATF was immune to that condition for a long time.

Logan lasted just more than two years as the successor to Craig Masback, miler turned marketer with a legal and television background, who ran the organization for 11 years. He helped orchestrate the overthrow of Ollan Cassell, who headed track and field for four decades through three organizational name changes—the Amateur Athletic Union, The Athletics Congress

and USATF. Two leaders in 40-plus years is stability, though critics complained of inbreeding.

When Logan arrived, some hailed his outsider status—head of Major League Soccer for three years, entertainment executive—as an asset. He would bring some outside professionalism to a sport steeped in tradition and politics. It didn’t happen. He alienated too many groups either with his policies or his perceived abrasiveness.

By the end, there was hostility between the 15-member board and Logan, who trimmed the size of the group under a USOC mandate. Logan, who could earn as much as $2 million for the remaining two years on his contract, referred to the board as circus clowns to the New York Times. In a interview with Running Times, he said, “Despite their inflated sense of selves, the board is weak. We reduced the quantity of members without improving the quality. Volunteer committees still have too much control over essential elements of the business. And, for too many people in the sport, it is more important that they control it rather

than it be good or prosperous.”

His successor should stick to fundamentals, keep it simple. Get and maintain sponsors, not so easy in a depressed economy. Then get the money to athletes, especially to emerging stars who need financial help to bridge the gap between the college years and professionalism. Foster a system that will develop talent.

Educate coaches. Increase the knowledge of those at the grassroots level. Help those at higher levels, especially in technical events such as the throws and jumps, areas where the U.S. has dominated in the past but now sometimes struggles.

Get the sport on TV. Keep the presence of domestic meets. Get the Golden League a U.S. presence so fans can get to know the sport’s top stars, both U.S. and international.

The U.S. has the largest and most comprehensive development program in the world—the school system from middle school to high school to college. Support and increase the athletes and coaches who make that possible.

The rest will take care of itself.

Good luck to whomever gets the job.

An Athlete-Coach Dying Young Antonio Pettigrew, an assistant coach at North Carolina and former world-class 400 runner, was found dead in his car Aug. 10 near his home in Apex, NC. Authorities said they were unsure whether his death was a suicide or accidental overdose of a sleeping medication. An autopsy was performed, but toxicology results were not available at press time.

Pettigrew, 42, a top 400 runner in the 1990s, gained more notoriety for his admitted steroid use in the late ’90s than his running accomplishments, which included a gold medal in the 400 at the 1991 World Championships.

Pettigrew’s drug revelation, which occurred during a 2008 trial of his one-time coach Trevor Graham, cost Pettigrew and his teammates gold medals from the 4x400 relay at the 2000 Olympics.

UNC kept Pettigrew on staff despite his admissions.

Athletic director Dick Baddour, UNC’s athletic director, consulted with faculty, administrators, investigators in the BALCO case and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency before making his decision to retain Pettigrew. Baddour said his decision was also affected by Pettigrew’s remorse, willingness to speak out against drugs and cooperation with the

investigation.

“I have an obligation and duty to speak out against the use of banned substances,” Pettigrew said. “I want to play a role in teaching people, especially young athletes, to know that the negatives far, far outweigh the benefits these substances may give you.”

Pettigrew, a five-time U.S. 400 champion, who is survived by a wife and son, testified that he had taken drugs such as EPO and Human Growth Hormone from 1997–2001. The admission cost the U.S. a 4x400 world record in ’98 as well as 4x400 world titles in ’97 and ’99.

“Besides being a great athlete, Antonio Pettigrew was a friend and colleague who represented himself, his family and his community on the international track and field stage,” said St. Augustine’s coach George Williams, who coached Pettigrew to four NCAA Div. II titles in the 400.

“He will not only be remembered for his accomplishments on the track but for the thousands of lives his success impacted. He was a role model and mentor who will be sorely missed. His contributions to the success of Saint Augustine’s College track and field program will never be forgotten.”

Oliver Twist David Oliver looks like the next world recordholder in the 110 hurdles. The Howard University grad (class of ’04) has reached a new level this season, recording the five fastest times of the year, eight of the top nine and nine of the top 12. Oliver has broken 13 seconds five times this year, led by his 12.89 in July in Paris. That time is 0.02 off the world record of 12.87, set

by Cuba’s Dayron Robles in 2008 (0.02 seconds is about 8 inches).

But the 28-year-old Oliver says his first priority is not the world record: “I focus on winning, not running fast times,” he told the English newspaper The Observer. “If you win the race, you get to do the victory lap.

If you told me I could have a world record or Olympic Gold I’d take the Olympic Gold every time.”

He cites former world recordholder Colin Jackson of Britain, who has slipped to fifth on the all-time list following Oliver’s performances this year.

“Now Colin is just the top British [and European] recordholder,” said Oliver. “I wonder if he would have rather won an Olympic Gold medal. I wonder looking back what he would prefer to have now that he’s fifth on the all-time list. I bet he’d rather take Olympic Gold. That can never be taken from you.”

Oliver, whose last collegiate track season came in 2004, has been somewhat of a late bloomer.

He credits some tough early years as a pro with helping him develop mentally and physically.

In response to questions from the British press, he thinks England’s funding system “promotes mediocrity” instead of excellence. His early pro years included having to work a job at the shoe chain, FinishLine, to make ends meet.

“I had won the Berlin Golden League [meet]; I’d won some other meets,” Oliver said. “I was ranked number six or seven in the world; and

I worked five or six hours a day [in the store]. I didn’t like that lifestyle, so I had to do something to change it.”

He recalls English hurdler Andy Turner asking him: “How come you have to go to work, you ran 13.2?” “I was like: ‘Yeah, I’m an American who ran 13.2, I don’t have no contracts or nothing. They don't pay me for running 13.2.’ I had to go to work to make money. That’s why Americans always do better, because we don’t reward mediocrity. If I was a European running 13.2 they’d probably be trying to get me the world or something.

As an American you run 13.2 and you’re just one of a bunch of people.”

Gay Keeps on Rolling Give Tyson Gay credit. He hasn’t let the ascendancy of Usain Bolt affect his approach to sprinting. Gay keeps right on giving his best, and it paid off in August. It might well pay off again in December with a No. 1 world ranking from Track & Field News.

First, Gay beat Bolt in a 100 in Stockholm, getting out of the blocks first, hanging on and winning in 9.84 to Bolt’s 9.97.

“Usain is not in his best shape,” Gay acknowledged.

“He and I both know he can run a lot faster. He has had his problems with injury and my knee was bothering me. But I’m happy with the win. He is a legend and it’s very important to beat him. It means something for the excitement of the sport. But I did not beat him running 9.5. I beat him running 9.8.”

Bolt’s loss, in his slowest time ever in a 100 final, was enough for him to end his season due to a sore back. But Gay kept on keeping on. He followed Stockholm with an impressive year-leading 100 of 9.78 on Aug. 15 in London against a slight headwind during chilly and rainy conditions.

“The last few weeks have been really great,” said Gay, who ran 9.79 to win in Brussels after Stockholm. “I wasn’t expecting to go that fast in these conditions but I knew I was in good shape and was going to go fast. I think there’s more to come. It’s great to be on top of the world. That’s important to me. I wasn’t necessarily sending a message to Asafa and Usain, I was just running my own race.”

Bolt’s management issued this statement: “Usain Bolt was examined [Aug. 9] by Dr. Hans Müller-Wohlfahrt in Munich who found a problem in his lower back. He has a tightness that restricts his ability to generate power in his stride, and continuing to race in this condition could risk injury to his hamstrings or calf muscles. With a view to his future career we believe further treatment to loosen his back followed by a period of rest will be in his best interest. We are delighted to report that the MRI scan on his Achilles tendon showed that it has now completely healed.”

Bolt ends his season with bests of 9.82 in the 100, a year-leading 19.56 in the 200 and a 43.58 4x400 relay leg he recorded in March.

You have to wonder what Bolt might do if he gives training priority over his night clubbing. “I always said 2010 would be an easy season for me, so if anyone is to beat me it would be this season,” Bolt said. “The hard training starts in October. The first Monday of October I will be out there working hard, as there will be the world championships to look forward to.”

You also have to wonder what Gay might do if his surgically repaired groin gets back to 100%.

Even though he’s not 100%, Gay thought after his London 9.78 that he could improve his PR of 9.69 set last year in Shanghai. “I think so, in those conditions,” Gay said. “My start was on point and normally that’s the worst part of my race. My time in London was a lot more impressive than Shanghai, [which] was not technically good.”

Passing of an Impressive Pair After the death of Pettigrew, the sport lost two valuable contributors in Hal Connolly and Scott Davis, both of whom died on Aug. 18.

Connolly, 79, won the hammer throw at the ’56 Olympics and is the last American to win Gold in the event. His courtship of and marriage to fellow Gold medalist discus thrower Olga Fikitova was a memorable event in the Cold War era. They were divorced in 1973. Connolly later married Pat Daniels, a heptathlete/half-miler who became a prominent sprint coach. Connolly’s story as an athlete was inspirational. He overcame a deformity in his left arm, one that required more than a dozen operations as a child.

His obituary in The New York Times included an excerpt from his unpublished memoir: “I began to consider myself a reject, chained to a small army of twisted bodies in the hospital waiting room, and responded by trying to ignore my crippled associates. I wanted to push myself into the ‘normal’ society. I was a handicapped person who knows the agony of all-out trying and not accomplishing.

They didn’t treat the disabled with dignity then. I couldn’t stand to be treated differently.”

Connolly made four Olympic teams and later became a high school teacher and administrator before working for the Special Olympics as an executive. He experimented with steroids in the 1950s, before the drugs were banned, but didn’t like what they did to his body. His wife, Pat, was an outspoken opponent of performance-enhancing drugs.

Scott Davis was influential in the sport because of his roles as an announcer at major international and national events in addition to his work as a tireless statistician.

Prefontaine Memorial meet director Tom Jordan called Davis “the best announcer in the world.”

Davis also may have been one of the best storytellers and loved cracking jokes, some of them X-rated. He died at the age of 66 at his Cerritos, California home. He had fought cancer for 13 years and was suffering from multiple myeloma but died from complications of chemotherapy after getting sick while announcing at the World Junior Championships in Moncton, New Brunswick.

“He was one of my favorite people and I know an awful lot of track and field fans, coaches and athletes feel the same way,” former UCLA track coach Bob Larsen told the Orange County Register.

Bell Lap • He’s b-a-a-a-a-a-c-k! Alan Webb, who pretty much dropped out of sight after setting an American mile record of 3:46.91 in 2007, made his 2010 racing debut in August with an unimpressive 1:52.32 for seventh place in an 800 meter race in England Aug. 14. On Aug. 28, he won a 1500 meter race in Antwerp, Belgium in a much more impressive 3:41.16, and followed 10–15 minutes later by entering the 5000 and running 14:15. Then on Sept. 9th in Milan he ran 3:36.21. Webb moved in 2009 from Reston, Virginia to Portland to train with Alberto Salazar; he underwent Achilles tendon surgery, and missed most of 2009.

Salazar is enthusiastic about his new charge, and predicts more U.S. records in Webb’s future: “He only started speed work six or seven weeks before. His bottom line speed is going to increase exponentially. I believe his form is better than when he set the American record.”

• The IAAF has asked the International Olympic Committee to consider cross country running to be included in the program for the 2018 Winter Games. The IOC has rejected previous similar requests. Rule 6.2 of the Olympic charter states that “only those sports which are practiced on snow and ice are considered as winter sports.” The IOC might consider the request favorably because the chance for countries such as Kenya and Ethiopia to win medals at the Winter Games fits the IOC policy of “universality” or encouraging the maximum number of competitors at the Winter Games. Only 82 nations competed in February’s Vancouver Winter Olympics, compared to more than 200 in Beijing in 2008.

• Chris Solinsky, who set a new U.S. 10,000 record (26:59.60) May 1 in Palo Alto, California, confirmed his

breakthrough this summer in Europe with three sparkling, competitive 5000 meter efforts. First, on June 4 in Oslo he ran a PR 12:56.66, finishing sixth behind Bernard Lagat’s U.S. record 12:54.12. On Aug. 6, in the Stockholm Diamond League 5000, Solinsky took fifth in another PR, 12:55.53. And on Aug. 19 in Zurich’s famed Weltklasse meet he took third in 12:56.45 behind two Ethiopians.

• Bernard Lagat and Molly Huddle (our cover girl this issue) set U.S. records in August. Lagat ran 7:29.00 in the 3000 at Rieti, to break Bob Kennedy’s 7:30.84 record by nearly 2 seconds. Huddle finished 10th in a 5000 in Brussels with a time of 14:44.76, edging Shalane Flanagan’s mark of 14:44.80.

• Deena Kastor, the 2004 Olympic bronze medalist in the marathon and the U.S. recordholder, withdrew from November’s New York City Marathon after learning she was pregnant. “I am especially grateful to have felt fantastic except for feeling a bit sluggish in workouts and tired during the day,” said Kastor, expecting her first child with husband Andrew Kastor. “As soon as we heard the news, I stopped hard workouts. I am running easy days with my Mammoth Track Club teammates, but have chosen to forego any hard efforts in order that every bit of my energy goes into making sure the baby will be healthy and strong. I don’t look pregnant yet, but I hear it seems to happen overnight.”

• First fruits of Doug Logan's dismissal? it's reported that the 2012 Olympic Trials in Eugene will follow the same successful format as the 2008 Trials.

Special Athletes, Special Events

I

f you’ve ever watched any “special” track event—from Special Olympics to the Wheelchair 800 at the Olympic Games—you know that the joy of competition and winning are just as exciting for the athletes as any “normal” competitor.

These days, we’re seeing an increasing number of track and field events for handicapped athletes. High school athletic associations are reporting an increase in requests for accommodations for students with mobility limitations. Assistant director Becky Oakes of the National Federation of State High School Associations reports that several states—including Minnesota, Georgia, Alabama, Iowa and Washington—currently offer adaptive, wheelchair events within their state track and field championships.

And in other states, increasingly, local high school and college tracks are being requested—or drafted—to serve as venues for special competitions.

Fortunately, adapting most facilities to meet the needs of special athletes doesn’t have to mean drastic changes. Designers of athletic facilities, sports contractors and material suppliers have all worked with individual high schools and with state associations to help break down barriers and

make athletic programs available to all.

Changes, large and small, can be implemented now.

It might be things we as able-bodied folks wouldn’t even notice, like a gate that’s a bit too narrow to get a wheelchair through. Changing a few

simple things like that can turn a facility from being merely usable into an arena that allows the athlete to relax and use his or her skills.

According to industry insiders, it all starts with attempting to understand the needs of the kids and—in a huge part—to understanding how much that need is growing. And while the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) certainly plays a part in the design of many facilities, its work can only do so much to include athletes with physical challenges.

Some Examples

Schools with wheelchair racing programs tend to offer at least one throwing event—shot put, javelin, etc. The athletes are referred to as “seated throwers.” Wheelchairs are generally secured to the ground or to an immobile object for the throwing events.

According to Gary Phillips, assistant executive director at the Georgia High School Association, GHSA partnered

with the American Association of Adapted Sports Programs, which helped identify and develop programs that would serve athletes with disabilities. At present, says Phillips, athletes in wheelchairs compete in their own division in three track and field events, the 200m, 800m and the shot put.

“We thought some kids might be better suited for short races, and some for long races,” said Phillips, “and we wanted the shot as a throwing event.

We divide the shot into two divisions based on the student’s handicap.”

The state of Washington offers not only track and field programs, but also cross country, for athletes in wheelchairs, according to Teresa Fisher of the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association.

One state working to grow its programs is Maryland, according to Ned Sparks, executive director of the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association.

“All our school systems are required to have accommodations for students with disabilities, and many are going to have a track and field component,” notes Sparks. “I would think that, yes, it is one of those things that is going to be there in the future, and also that it’s going to be one of those things that is just offered automatically, rather than having to have students ask for it.”

One of Maryland’s high school track and field athletes went on to medal at the Paralympics. Sparks notes that, although Maryland has been one of the first states to allow athletes in wheelchairs to share the track with their able-bodied counterparts, “I don’t think we’re going to be the last.”

The National Federation for State High School Associations’ 2008–09 High School Athletics Participation Survey shows that responding schools offered adapted sports programs in basketball, bowling, floor hockey, soccer, softball and track. These are far from the only programs open, however. The U.S. Tennis Association promotes wheelchair tennis on a grass-

roots level, and many local parks and recreation departments offer adapted sports programs, including golf and bocce. Other schools have offered special programs in skiing, baseball and more. Swimming has long been a sport that has attracted individuals with mobility impairments. It’s all a matter of student interest and willingness to adapt programs to their specific needs.

On the Track Perhaps the first thing to address is making sure that athletes with special needs can get to a track. Gates used by athletes should have at least a 48" opening, which allows athletic wheelchairs (those whose wheels have a camber, or slant) to pass through. The last thing an athlete wants to do is get out of his or her chair and have someone pass it over the gate while he or she “scoots” along the ground through the opening.

While high-level professional athletes can afford to be choosy about the surfaces they use, high schoolers generally don’t have that option, and that goes for athletes using wheelchairs, as well as the runners. Sparks says Maryland hasn’t researched the surface/wheelchair tire interaction (the sport is still in the developmental stages at most high schools), but hazards a guess that “maybe the harder the surface, the better.”

According to Jim Stalford of Mondo USA (Tega Cay, South Carolina), “Wheelchair track racers prefer the consistency of a vulcanized rubber surface. This allows them to have some traction on all areas of the surface and to minimize how far the wheels penetrate the surface, enabling them to push faster with less energy.”

Other tips for those designing or setting up facilities for athletes in wheelchairs? Adequate warm-up areas.

“These are hard to accommodate,” Stalford notes. “It is best if there is a large open parking lot, road or warmup track near the competition track for athletes to warm up. The warm-up area also needs a safe and easy way pathway for the athletes to get to the competition area.”

Other Considerations Then there are the aspects of competition that many people don’t even know about, according to Matt Hale of Halecon in Bridgewater, New Jersey.

Having these, he notes, can mean all the difference between a facility that’s not just accessible but welcoming.

“Something I believe is critical, yet often missed, is adequate shade for temperature control,” Hale notes.

“Many individuals with spinal cord or brain injuries are extremely sensitive to temperature, particularly to heat. Some can have life-threatening heat reactions

which can occur with little warning.

Plan as much shade as possible. I would just stress that surface that throws off heat should be avoided. The more shade, the better.”

Plan for athletes’ needs both on and off the track or playing field, he adds. Of course, having water sources at or near the facility is a must, but so are some other things. “If possible, a cool-down area would be helpful, possibly an enclosed space attached to a bathroom facility, air-conditioned, with electric outlets and water. This space could not only provide emergency cooling, but also a private area for suctioning. Many people with high spinal cord injuries have difficulty breathing, and often use ventilators for assistance. At times, the airway can get blocked with secretions, thus creating an urgent need for suction. Proper suction would require a source for water and electric.”

Other types of disabilities can also be accommodated, Stalford adds, with the right facilities. “Visually impaired runners prefer a high contrast track. A solid-colored red or black track with white lines is best. Blind long and triple jumpers have difficulty with raised runways. It’s best to have the runway even with the surrounding ground and plenty of room at the end of the sand box (no light poles, gutters, etc.). The sand should be even with the

track construction

end of the box so that they can easily run through the back and not trip on the box or run into anything when they do run-throughs.”

Legal Issues ADA legislation was an enormous help to individuals with physical challenges, but it’s far from the end of the road. New laws are being enacted all the time. One that has the potential to impact all athletic programs in schools across the state of Maryland, says Ned Sparks, and which will take full effect in 2011, is the Fitness and Athletic Equity Law for Students with Disabilities. In short, it ensures that students with disabilities are provided equal opportunities to participate in physical education programs, and athletic activities in Maryland schools.

The Maryland Dept. of Disabilities and the Maryland State Dept. of Education will work with local school jurisdictions to improve policies and implement the new statute and improvements to adaptive physical education and interscholastic athletic participation.

While Sparks understands the necessity of accommodating all athletes, and believes that all students should be able to participate in athlet-

ics if they can, he also recognizes the difficulties that lie ahead for schools and athletic programs.

“This is a heck of a budget time, and to be mandating/adding sports at a time when a lot of cuts are being made—that’s difficult. It’s difficult to launch new programs when you’re trying to fight to keep the old ones.”

Other states, which are not mandating as many new measures, find it easier to accommodate students with physical challenges. For David Anderson, assistant executive director with the Iowa High School Athletic Association, “the only possible financial challenge is transportation.”

When working to make accommodations for athletes with disabilities, remember that events may begin to draw spectators who have mobility limitations, as well. Adjust seating so that someone in a wheelchair is able to have good sightlines—and to have adequate seating around them for their friends, either able-bodied or not. No spectator should be made to feel they have to sit in an area isolated from the rest of the crowd.

Summing Up While there have been challenges, Gary Phillips found that he was pleas-

antly surprised by the Georgia public’s reaction to the wheelchair division of races.

“The first time [we had a track in which athletes in wheelchairs competed], I had anxiety, anticipation—I was wondering, ‘How will the fans react?’

We ran the 200 and the fans were cheering for the kids. They were great.

Even when there’s a big distance between the kid who wins and the one who comes in last, the spectators stayed right there and cheered for everyone.

We were able to ask all the kids in the race, ‘Did you hear them cheering for you?’ and they all said, ‘Yes, sir, I heard that!’ They were very happy.”

Running with One Leg: A different w running, and an exercise to help ru

O

f course your runners don’t really, literally, run with one leg. But if you look at it from another angle, in a sense, they do.

Think about it: All the real work of running is done with the leg that’s touching the ground. That’s where the runner’s body bears the shock of the foot strike and then expends almost all the energy that goes into forward propulsion. The other leg? It’s just recovering and getting ready for its turn to do the running.

So, in a sense, we all run on one leg—one leg at a time.

As a coach, you do everything in your power to increase your runners’ performance through aerobic and anaerobic development. But what can be done to prepare for the moment of single support in running stride that dictates so much in terms of the energy absorption and output of the athlete?

Athletes in the field events break their events down into individual parts and do specific workouts and exercises to improve their execution of each specific part. Then they put the parts together to produce an improved technique.

In the same way, your runners can isolate the most important part of their technique and improve it.

To do so, here’s a simple, but effective, strength and stability exercise to help your runners (1) manage the force of impact, (2) stabilize during deceleration and (3) increase

power output. It’s designed to build awareness, strength and stability. It’s a single-leg squat.

1. Start by standing about a foot in front of a workout bench on one leg. Hold a 5-lb. dumbbell in each hand. Stabilize by pulling the scapulae low down the back and by firming the abdominal muscles.

2. The movement begins by sitting the hips back to touch the bench and raising the arms from the waist forward in front of the chest. As the hips drop back and down, the unused leg pushes forward to help with balance.

3. After touching—but not sitting on—the bench, push into the ground and rise back to the starting position as the arms drop back to the body.

Here are some points to remember while performing this movement: • The foot remains flat on the ground. Don’t push onto the toe.

• The first movement is the hips dropping back and down. This is why we are a foot away from the bench. The weights in the rising hands act as a counterweight in this movement to keep balance. Most people bend and push the knee forward first. Don’t do this.

• As the arms rise in front of the body, work hard to keep the scapulae low and the back flat from hips to head. If the lower back begins to round, this indicates the stabilizers of the torso aren’t yet strong or active enough to perform the exercise at full depth. Add height to the bench to create a smaller movement. As the body grows stronger and more stable, lower the height until you’re able to perform the exercise properly at the depth of the bench.

• Control the speed. We want slow, controlled movement. Don’t smack

• •

• •

the bench hard or “rebound” out of the bottom of the movement.

Don’t sit on the bench.

As the body rises, concentrate on keeping the scapulae and shoulders low. Don’t “shrug” the shoulders to help the body rise.

Don’t put the off-leg on the ground— even when resting at the top of the movement between repetitions.

Keep the hips and shoulders level.

Don’t tilt either to the side.

Once proper form and full depth have been mastered, weight vests can be added for extra resistance. Integrate this movement at the start of your regular strength routine to wake up the nervous system and activate the stabilizers. Perform three sets of 12–15 repetitions (with each leg) during the offseason and early season to develop a strength and stability base. During the most competitive parts of the season we want to mostly use the movement as a nervous system educator. During this time, limit it to 2–3 sets of 8 repetitions for each leg.

As with any exercise, attention to detail determines the effectiveness of this movement. As a runner stabilizes the body for single-leg strength movements, they’re preparing for those moments during a race when they’re running with one leg. Every bit of strength and stability on foot strike creates more efficiency. Work hard, teach your body and run faster.

way to think about runners run faster

Start with left foot flat and right leg raised.

Drop the hips, raise arms for balance.

Just-barely-touch the bench.

Rise back to starting position.

Runners’ Injuries and How to Handle Them

by Don Kopriva

W

hether we like it or not, injuries are an important part of track and field—especially, it would seem, for the most talented middle- and long-distance runners. In fact, of the 79 elite runners I interviewed for my new book, Coming Back Strong, only three reported that they had never suffered an injury important enough to affect their performance.

Injuries happen because runners—and their coaches—tend to push the runners’ bodies to extremes, up to, and then over the “fine line” that divides healthy from hurt. Too many miles, too much intensity, too many repeats too close together—and something gives way. The intentions are noble, but the results can be disastrous.

Who’s to blame? Nobody, unless striving for excellence is to be considered bad. Runners try too hard because they want to be better runners. Coaches go for one more repetition because they can see that last repetition as the difference between a winner and an also-ran.

Alberto Salazar, who has seen injuries close-up both as a champion runner and a coach of champion runners, argues that you have to get really close to the fine line to excel.

“Remember,” he says, “you’re running against a lot of other people who are flirting with that fine line, too.” And although he acknowledges that some of those others will fall victim to injury, he adds, “Not everyone’s going to be unlucky. Some will get very close to it and not get injured and that’s who you’ve ultimately got to compete against.”

Salazar admits that some coaches feel you should never let a runner get too close to that fine line.

“But,” he responds, “unless you’re so superior to everybody else that you don’t need to go near your limits to beat them, you do, out of necessity, have to go near that line.”

What do you do? Coaches and athletes all agree that the first thing to do when an athlete feels pain or discomfort while training is stop. Even if the pain is hardly noticeable, stop. To put it simply, “playing through the pain” is just plain stupid. For a runner, playing through the pain is an excellent way to turn a minor injury into a major injury.

If the pain disappears, the athlete can start the exercise carefully and gradually work up to the previ-

ous intensity. If the pain or discomfort returns, that finishes the exercise, and the next step is to see a trainer or a doctor. Says Salazar, “Even when it’s just a soreness that the runner feels, I believe you have to immediately get on it.”

Once an injury is diagnosed, of course, a plan of rest, of alternate training methods or, perhaps, a rehabilitation program can be put together. Making the plan is not usually very difficult, but making it work often is.

Coaches and athletes agree that the key to recovering from an injury and getting back into hard training is p-a-t-i-e-n-c-e. Whether or not the athlete has already been doing some kind of cross training, swimming, riding a bike, working on ellipticals, pool running, etc., are excellent ways to maintain optimal fitness. And a specially designed rehab program is often required on the road back to fulltime running training.

But none of these are running. Progress is often slow, and runners can get discouraged. Speaking of his days as a 13:49 5000 meter runner, Wisconsin–Parkside coach Micah VanDenend says, “There is eventually a breaking point, where you feel fed up and feel you can no longer continue.”

This, I feel, is one of the real challenges a coach faces. In the next issue of AT&F, we’ll talk about the long road to recovery, the problems of rehab and how rehabbing can help an athlete can come back—not just strong, but stronger than ever.

Don Kopriva’s new book, Coming Back Strong is based on extensive interviews with many of America’s top distance runners and coaches, covering their experiences with injuries and how they came back from those injuries even stronger and faster than before. Since almost every runner who races over 800 meters and up encounters some kind of injury—and certainly everyone who coaches runners deals with a constant parade of injured athletes—Don’s book is indeed one that everyone in the running business will want to own. When issued Nov. 1, Coming Back Strong will have a cover price of $29.95 (including shipping). There is a discount for pre-publication orders, which will be $24.95 (including shipping).

2009–2010 Championship Review NCAA Div. I Oklahoma State (M), Villanova (W) Chelanga Romp, Barringer Falters Terre Haute, Indiana, Nov. 23, 2009. 50s,

more was proud of Barringer and all that she has accomplished while at Colorado.

“She’s had a lot of great races for us and was probably bound to have one not so great one,” Wetmore said. “There was a lot of pressure over the last 6 months and I was trying to make sure we didn’t give away too many of those pieces, but maybe we did.”

Results: http://www.ncaa.com/sports/c-xc/recaps/112309aaa.html Oklahoma State http://www.okstate.com/sports/m-xc/recaps/112309aaa.html Villanova http://www.villanova.com/sports/c-xc/spec-rel/112309aab.html Colorado http://tinyurl.com/ybe2vlc 2007 Winner: Josh McDougal on Chelanga’s Win http://tinyurl.com/2eke2mx More coverage at http://www.flotrack.org/videos/coverage/view/235833 In the men's race, Liberty junior Sam Chelanga, 2nd to Galen Rupp a year ago, ran away from the field early and won going away in a blazing 28:41.3.

It's always difficult to compare cross country times from different courses, but Chelanga's winning time is the fastest since the great Henry Rono ran 28:19.6 thirty years ago in 1979.

Oklahoma State (127), despite getting a 97th-place finish from German Fernandez, won the men's team title over Oregon (143), which rebounded from a 3rd-place finish at the West Regional, Alabama (173) and Northern Arizona (190). Favored Stanford (354) finished a disappointing 10th.

2008 Olympian Jenny Barringer, who had finished 2nd to Sally Kipyego at this meet in 2006 and 2007 (redshirt in 2008), passed up a potentially lucrative professional contract to pursue her goal of winning an individual x-country title. She was a heavy favorite coming into this year's race, but was facing an equally hungry Susan Kuijken of Florida State (2nd-2008, 3rd-2007).

The two were battling each other through the first half of the race when Barringer suddenly broke stride and seemed ready to stop running. She continued, but kept falling further away from Kuijken.

Still struggling as other runners went by her, Barringer did come to a stop and collapsed to the ground. Perhaps thinking about her team, she got up and actually finished well, passing a couple of dozen runners in the last 100 meters, but she only finished 163rd.

Meanwhile, it looked like Kuijken (19:57.7) was well on her way to winning her first x-country title, but she ran into her own problems, fading to 3rd in the last quarter-mile as she was passed by Illinois' Angela Bizzarri, the 2009 NCAA outdoor champion at 5000 meters, who went on to win in 19:46.8, and Washington's Kendra Schaff, who finished 2nd in 19:51.6.

Kuijken's 3rd-place finish did help Florida State (133) finish 2nd in the team battle behind Villanova (86), which won its 8th title (a record) and its first since 1998. Defending champion Washington (188) finished 3rd, followed

by Texas Tech (191).

Florida State coach Karen Harvey on Kuijken’s race: "Susan ran with complete heart. She ran out of oxygen. We have been dealing with an issue all year long with her rib and the doctors and trainers did everything they could to help her. She followed her race plan, but she was just in too much pain.

That is a lot of heart to go out there and just know you have this kink in your armor, but she didn't care. That's the type of leader that helped this team get 2nd."

Said Barringer, “I definitely remember [Kuijken] on my shoulder and then all of a sudden going light-headed and thinking, ‘I don’t know how to run anymore.’ I just lost my head and didn’t feel good and then next thing I knew I was on the ground thinking, ‘Is this really happening to me? Is this a race?’

I think I was just a little delirious. I found my way through though, and I remember thinking that I was going to score for the team. That is what I came here to do. I tried to fight to keep my mind awake and fight for the best place that I could. I really believe that my character spoke today by finishing.”

Despite not having the result that everyone expected, CU coach Mark Wet-

NCAA Div. II Sweep for Adams State 3rd Win for Jessica Pixler Evansville, Indiana, Nov. 21, 2009.

Host: http://www.usi.edu/sports/XCC_Championships/index.asp Adams State: http://tinyurl.com/yj934bt Flotrack Videos: http://tinyurl.com/ygj6xhh Jesica Pixler: http://tinyurl.com/2wefqxh As expected, Adams State successfully defended its men’s title, beating longtime rival Western State, 23–86 (Adams and Western have now each won seven men’s titles). What wasn’t expected was the Grizzlies’ women’s team, which was ranked 4th in the final coaches’ poll, winning its 7th consecutive crown! As Grizzlies coach Damon Martin said after the sweep, "Never underestimate the heart of a champion!"

Grand Valley State was one of the favorites in the women’s race, but had to settle for 2nd place (only 8 points out of first) after its #1 runner, Megan Maceratini, who finished 17th in 2008, finished near the back of the field in 175th place.

Said GV coach Jerry Baltes after finishing 2nd to Adams State for the 3rd time in the last 5 years, “Yes, it is disappointing for our kids ... [We] just got beat by a team that knows how to get it done when it counts. Hopefully one day we will be able to figure it out and upend them. At the end of the day, we all want to win but if national runnerup is the bad part of our day/year/life then we have it pretty good. We will get it done some day ... it is just going to take a bit longer than we had hoped.”

The Adams State women were led by the 9th-place finish of freshman Alicia Nelson.

Seattle Pacific’s Jessica Pixler became the first female 3-time individual champion in the 29-year history of Div.II competition. After winning the indoor mile and outdoor 1500 during the 2010 track season, Pixler wound up with a total of 12 NCAA titles!

2010 Shippensburg sophomore Neely Spence, 2nd a year ago, was right with the hard-charging Pixler at the half-way mark, but soon lost touch and eventually faded to 43rd place. Steve Spence, her coach (and dad), said in a Flotrack video, "We're still trying to figure out what happened today," http://tinyurl.com/yj47dww.

Winner of the men’s race was Adams State senior Reuben Mwei, who was 4th in 2007, but missed last year’s Nationals due to a chest injury.

Div.II fans are famous for their enthusiasm when it comes to the Nationals, as evidenced by this Flotrack video: http://tinyurl.com/ygj6xhh.

the swine and regular flu and he caught an unlucky break.

“Peter has the heart of a champion and chose to run and defend his title where many would have not run at all. I can assure you he did not give up. He stated that with about a half-mile to go his legs just would not go any faster and his head was pounding. He spent the next 45 minutes in the medical tent with the doctor for he was too weak to stand. While we would have loved for him to pull it off, we are proud of his efforts and he will come back from this stronger than before.”

While the men’s race was a runaway, the women’s outcome was anything but. St. Lawrence, with individual winner Wendy Pavlus paving the way, led Wisconsin-Eau Claire 48–99 through four scorers, but, as every x-country coach knows, you’re often only as good as your 5th runner. Eau-Claire completed its scoring when Jenna Smith crossed the finish line in 109th place (72nd team) to give the team a total of 171 points, then had to endure an agonizing wait for St. Lawrence’s fifth scorer to finish.

Dozens of runners went by before Jackie Lemme finished in 181st place (132 team) to give St. Lawrence, which was ranked #6 in the final coaches’ poll, 180 points, 9 shy of Eau Claire’s total.

It was the first National title for Eau Claire, whose 171 points is the secondhighest winning total since Div.III held its first championship in 1981. Ony Middlebury’s winning score of 179 points from last year is higher.

UW-Eau Claire: http://tinyurl.com/3xoelvd North Central lived up to its pre-meet role as favorite by winning the men’s team title with the greatest margin of victory in Div.III history, beating runnerup Williams by 131 points (50–181). The win increased North Central’s record number of titles, all won under the leadership of coach Al Carius, to 13. Carius was a 2-time Big-10 champion while competing for Illinois.

Peter Kosgei, the defending champion, was leading with 600 meters to go when he was passed by Lynchburg’s Ricky Flynn, who went on to win in 25:09.8. Kosgei shockingly faded all the way to 43rd place, leading some cynics to suggest that he had given up when he saw that he couldn’t win. Hamilton coach offered this explanation for Kosgei’s performance: “Unfortunately, Peter woke up with the flu. He had not felt well on the trip out, but his condition worsened on Friday evening.

Pfeifer said later, “[Scott] looked dazed. We didn’t have the official scores yet, and it was going to be close, but I asked him where this would stand, if his team won, in his pantheon of track history. He said, ‘Well, it would be the biggest thing ... in my whole life!’ This from a man who had a Hall of Fame career as one of the greatest milers in U.S. history! The emotional Scott then ran off to join his team and the eventual celebration when they were officially declared the winners.”

Not so close in the men’s race, as Malone beat 2nd-place Concordia (NE) by 122 points (44–166). It was the third title in a row for Jack Hazen’s Pioneers, who got a 3–5 finish from juniors Aaron Melhorn and James Zeuch. Southern Oregon, ranked #1 in the final coaches’ poll, finished 3rd with 188 points.

Shorter junior Justyna Mudy (17:30), 3rd in 2008, won the women’s race over Azusa Pacific junior Jackie Kipwambok (17:51) and Lindenwood senior Francine Nzilampa (17:56), who were 2nd and 8th, respectively, at last year’s championships. Mudy is the reigning NAIA steeplechase champion.

It was a tight battle for the men’s individual crown, with Oklahoma Christian sophomore Silas Kisorio (28th in 2008) edging McKendree freshman Carlson Kemei for the win (24:23-24;24). Kisorio won the 800 meters at the NAIA Outdoor Championships this past May.

State-San Marcos beating runnerup Biola by only 3 points, 137–140. (The 137 total is the second-highest winning score ever). Pre-race favorite Azusa Pacific finished 5th in the challenging conditions.

It was the first national title for CSSM and head coach Steve Scott, who said after the race, "It was quite a shock. You know that anything can happen, especially in these conditions. Before the race, I told the team that this would be the hardest race they'll ever run.” Scott’s team was led by senior Dallon Williams, who finished 7th for the second year in a row.

As Scott was standing by the finish line at the end of the race, he was reading off the finishes of different teams to his assistant coach. When they totaled up their own score, veteran observer Jack Pfeifer, who was helping them identify runners as they came in, said, “You might have won!”

Junior COllege Div. III Sixth Straight for Delhi (M) First For Ocean County (W) Canandaigua, New York, Nov. 7, 2009 RESULTS: www.pcrtiming.com/2009.html#anchor_njcaa DELHI: http://tinyurl.com/6gyvcj Mike Burke, 2nd last year to teammate Chris Mason (now at Middle Tennessee), moved up a spot to become National Champion and led SUNY-Delhi to its sixth straight JUCO Div.III men’s team title.

Given the quick turnover in a 2-year program, that’s an impressive streak for head coach Justin Wood and assistant Bob Backus.

The women’s title was won by an all-frosh team from Ocean County (NJ), which hadn’t competed in x-country since 1995. Leading the way for the Jersey Shore team was individual winner Jen Nelson.

Said OC’s first-year coach Ed Baynes, “We lucked out to have such a great core of girls right off the bat.”

Dathan Ritzenhein waited until late in the race before pulling away from early leaders Patrick Smyth and Scott Bauhs to win his third U.S. title.

Shalane Flanagan led from the gun as she won her fourth title by almost a minute over Molly Huddle.

Junior titles were won by Providence freshman Shelby Greany and Portland freshman Trevor Dunbar, who fought off a battle with strep throat to win the men’s race.

Said Flanagan about the race and the upcoming World Championships in Poland, “I planned to run conservative for the first lap, within myself, and then run a hard 6K and whoever was with me was with me. I was just going to run my own race. I just visualized that last lap being in a lot of pain in Poland and having to dig deep and run against the best in the world. I'm always trying to mentally prepare myself for the next step so I just practice some of that mental toughness that you’ll have to exhibit [at the Worlds].”

A lingering foot problem would force Ritzenhein to miss out on the World Championships in Poland (see above link).

2010 IAAF World Championships Kenya Sweeps 4 Titles (Team and Individual) Bronze for U.S. Women Bydgoszcz, Poland, March 28, 2010 IAAF Site: http://www.iaaf.org/wxc10/l USATF: http://www.usatf.org/events/2010/IAAFWorldXCChampionships/ TIRUNESH DIBABA: http://www.iaaf.org/WXC10/news/kind=100/newsid=56341.html Everyone in attendance probably now knows the Kenyan National Anthem by heart, since it was played 8 times during the 3 hours of competition!

Kenya did what no other country had ever done before in the history of these championships—win all of the individual and team titles!

With 6-time long-course winner Kenenisa Bekele out with an injury, Joseph Ebuya won the senior men’s race to lead Kenya to a lopsided team win over Eritrea (20-46).

Emily Chebet edged teammate Linet Masai in the senior women’s race as Kenya beat Ethiopia for the team title (14–22).

With Shalane Flanagan leading the way with her 12th-place finish, the U.S. women ended a 7-year drought by winning the Bronze medals. The other scorers for the U.S. were Molly Huddle (19th), Magdalena Lewy-Boulet (20th) and Amy Hastings (25th).

Kenya’s dominance was evident in the junior races as they swept the top four individual places in each to pick up a pair of perfect 10-point scores.

The girls race came down to a battle between the top two returnees from last year. Junior Chelsey Sveinsson, 4th in 2008, appeared to have the race in hand with less than 100 meters to go (the PA announcer just about anointed her the winner at this point), but Goethals (3rd-2008) unleashed a potent kick to snatch the victory from Sveinsson, who went sprawling to the ground as she vainly tried to hold on for the win. It was the closest girls finish in the 31-year history of the event (17:06.9–17:07.1).

No such drama in the boys race as Verzbicas, looking over his shoulder often during the race, ran away from the field in the final mile to win easily in 15:07.8. Verzbicas, who turns 17 in early January, became the first sophomore to win the boys race and gave the Midwest a sweep of the individual titles.

Craig Lutz, winner at last week’s Nike Cross Nationals, challenged Verzbicas early, but eventually faded to 4th.

Shoe ReviewS: Performance—iii • Neutral—iv • Motion Stabilizing—v

E

ach season, the overall direction of the footwear industry is revealed in trends. For more than four years, we’ve reported that companies have been lightening up many of their shoes and this continues. The growing influence of minimalism and “barefoot” running, in conjunction with improved technologies and formulations of components and refined design, has resulted in more shoes with less structure, lighter weight, and fewer motion-controlling features. Our racing shoe reviews have always looked at shoes that feature the least amount of support, weight, or inhibiting features, but this trend extends deeper than ever into the training shoe category. A number of high-mileage shoes have also benefitted from this trend, slimming down without compromising their protective cushioning. And there is a shrinking but significant offering of heavier models that cater to runners who need extra cushioning or even more significant structure to counteract overpronation.

Geometry is another significant trend in the design of running shoes. Attention is being focused on more critical midsole shaping, the flare (depth and shape) of flex grooves, the size and positioning of crashpads, and the ratio between heel and forefoot heights. Along with these considerations, designers and development teams are carefully considering the material of each of these elements, appraising their rebound and dampening effects, in addition to their durability and comfort. The results of this focus on geometry can be seen in two types of offerings: highly engineered models and spare, simplified designs.

These two trends are refining the way that running shoes perform when you take them out on a run, making it easier than ever to find a shoe perfectly suited to your biomechanical and situational needs.

weLCoMe to the RuNNiNg NetwoRk’S 2010 FaLL Shoe Review

RuNNiNg NetwoRk LLC PaRtNeRS

In the spring of 1991, it was my great good fortune to meet Emil Zatopek, winner of three Golds at the 1952 Olympics (5000m, 10,000m, marathon) and two medals in 1948 (Gold in the 10,000m and Silver in the 5000m). I was in awe.

American Track & Field www.american-trackandfield.com

After Emil served as our honorary assistant coach at the Ed Adams Invitational in Salinas, my coaching partner Joe Mangan and I drove him to Carmel, California so he could see the beauty of Big Sur. During the drive, there was a twinkle in his eyes as he told us about his friendly rivalry with Alain Mimoun, who finished second to him in numerous European and Olympic championships. It wasn’t until 1956, when Emil had injured himself training for the marathon, that Mimoun was victorious over Emil, and then he waited at the finish line as Zatopek finished an honorable sixth place.

When I asked Emil how he got started running, he told me that he had needed a new pair of boots and that was the prize for winning a local 5K race. So in the cold winter of 1944, Zatopek ran his first race, won, and was given a new pair of boots—a necessary item in the cold, snowy winter in occupied Czechoslovakia.

The right footwear is a necessary item for all runners, no matter what their level. At the Running Network LLC, we’re committed to making that search easier for you with this 2010 Fall Shoe Review. You don’t have to win a race to get a great shoe—you simply need to visit your local running specialty store and try on a variety of shoes until you find the perfect one for you. Best wishes!

PeRFoRMaNCe adidas adiZero Boston

$100

To runners, “Boston” means the Boston Marathon; the adiZero Boston also takes its name from that race. Taking a page from the minimalist’s design book, it nestles into the adiZero line, the pure performance range of adidas running. The upper is a thin, open mesh with an internal framework of soft, synthetic suede supports and external overlays at heel and toe. A thin layer of foam at the ankle collar and in the tongue only where the laces tie provides just enough padding to secure the shoe comfortably without adding unnecessary weight. The midsole is a resilient chunk of EVA with a surprisingly low-profile feel. The heel is a combination of the effective ForMotion cassette and a substantial crashpad to manage the touchdown. It’s mated to a forefoot of flexible adiPrene+. The result is an effective performance shoe that withstands the demands of high-mileage training.

“Well cushioned, even for daily training. Not bad in the weight department; light enough for faster running. I’ve been very pleased with the performance.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to very mild overpronation • Sizes: Men 6.5–13,14,15; Women 5–12 • Weight: Men 11.5 oz. (size 11); Women 9.7 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, adiPrene Strobel board (heel)

Brooks Summon 2

$85

The original Summon was a yeoman-like neutral shoe that generated a rather neutral response. The Summon 2 looks to change that with some upgrades and a price reduction. The upper uses a more open mesh—an improvement, to be sure—though it’s just a bit spare on the ankle collar foam. The fit is secure and overlays are well-placed; in fact, the medial side is shored up, especially at the first metatarsal head, though the tradeoff is that it’s not very bunion-friendly. The midsole is the new BioS-257, Brooks’ reliable foam made eco-friendly without compromising performance. In fact, it’s more responsive than the original formulation. The contouring of the foam gives the shoe a much-improved transition through the footstrike and a lower profile appearance. Runners looking for a lightweight, neutral, high-mileage shoe may be well-served by the Summon, honored as our Best Value.

BEST VALUE FALL 2010

BEST RENOVATION

“Fit well with good support. Very good cushioning, nice responsive toe-off. Pretty light for a high mileage trainer, though a bit heavy for a performance shoe. A good running shoe, plain and simple.”

FALL 2010

Updates the Summon • Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics • Sizes: Men 7–13,14,15; Women 6–12 • Weight: Men 11.6 oz. (size 11); Women 9.9 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, BioS-257 Strobel board

k-Swiss Blade-Light

$100

The Blade-Light advances the concept behind the UltraNatural Run series, but with a little more heft. Surprisingly lightweight, its appearance may cause concern about handling heavy mileage, but its performance confirms that it can take just about whatever you’re willing to throw at it. It’s very neutral—there’s no extra support in the shoe—and it provides plenty of cushion and great flexibility. The upper features a supportive saddle that keeps the foot centered over the midsole, which is a generous slab of molded EVA that has excellent flexibility. The outersole is minimal (largely exposed EVA) but with carbon rubber in the highwear areas and a forefoot insert of blown rubber and Superfoam assisting the toe-off. What you get is much more than you see at first look—so much so, that the Blade-Light earned honors as our Best New Shoe.

BEST NEW SHOE FALL 2010

“These worked great for me, no matter what kind of running, but especially fast running.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics • Sizes: Men 7–13,14; Women 5–11,12 • Weight: Men 10.5 oz. (size 11); Women 8.9 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, Superfoam Strobel board

Mizuno wave Precision 11

$97

The Precision has had a faithful audience through 10 updates and the Precision 11 may be the best yet. The upper is lightweight and the open mesh breathes well. The newly designed eyestay connects to three separate internal straps to cinch the upper where it needs to conform to the foot. A soft, sueded liner wraps the ankle and instep and an Ortholite innersole adds cushioning and comfort. The midsole is AP+, providing a much-improved ride to the shoe that’s further enhanced by an articulated version of the Wave Plate, a re-beveling of the heel, and an additional deflection zone in the midfoot to accommodate a variety of footstrikes and gaits. The outersole has more flex grooves to improve flexibility while maintaining durability in the high-wear areas thanks to the carbon rubber. The performance is perfect for fast running—tempo, speedwork, even some long races—yet durable enough for day-to-day use for the biomechanically efficient, earning it honors as our Best Renovation.

“They fit snug mid-foot and have ample toe room. They feel comfortable and have good cushioning for their light weight.”

New Balance 759

$95

The New Balance approach to updates has always been conservative. The overall changes to the 759 appear minor when looked at individually, but in combination, they’re enough to nudge the shoe into the Performance range. The consistent execution, fit, and ride have been little altered, but each of these areas benefits from the industry-wide trend of trimming weight from a shoe wherever it reasonably can. The upper is a wide open mesh outer layer with a fine mesh lining. The overlays have been redesigned, cleverly anchoring the foot to the midsole in a few strategic places while freeing it in the forefoot, providing support while saving weight. The midsole is still ACTEVA Lite with the same basic N-ERGY set-up in the heel, though minor alterations to the components do improve the transition. The outersole is a bit more flexible and maintains the blown rubber forefoot/carbon rubber heel that has worked well in this series. Runners will find the 759 to be a consistent and protective highmileage trainer, which happens to weigh less than one might expect.

“I liked the shoe and the neutral colors. I noticed that NB did not use the ‘crinkly’ laces that tend to stay tied so well. The upper materials are very breathable to help keep my feet dry and cool. They wore well, but the cushioning was about average.”

Nike Pegasus+ 27

BEST SHOE Neutral

$90

The Pegasus has been updated more than twice as many times as the next-longest model series in this review. That’s a lot of work poured into a shoe that continues to reflect the best in materials and know-how. The biggest story of #27 is its weight: It’s almost 5% lighter than last season. The light weight, however, doesn’t undermine its ability to handle the mileage demanded by serious runners. The upper features a routine airmesh with an effective saddle design that secures the midfoot and lines up the foot over the midsole. The midsole features Cushlon for the first time (replacing the stalwart Phylon). Although there’s a bump in price, it matches the bump in value. The outersole—waffle-fill in the forefoot and BRS 1000 in the heel—has excellent durability with traction to match. The sum of these parts adds up to one of the best versions yet of the Pegasus.

Saucony Progrid kinvara

BEST SHOE Performance Fa ll 2 0 1 0

$90

The Kinvara is the most innovative shoe Saucony has produced this year, and it may well influence its line for some time to come. The philosophy of “less is more” is on full display here. The upper is a gossamer-like, fine mesh over an open mesh liner; the combination is both protective and breathable. Instead of a full ankle collar, twin ovals of memory foam guard each Performance side of the Achilles tendon and provide both secure fit and comfort. The midsole is a new EVA compound with more rubber for Neutral increased resilience. An insert of ProGrid Lite in the heel smoothes the touch-down and a tweak to the heel/forefoot ratios— F 2 0 1 0a generous forefoot—actually improves the overall cushioning as well as provides a more natural lowering the heel aA LbitL with biomechanical position. Its combination of innovations and its feather-like weight earned the Kinvara honors as our Best Shoe in the Performance category.

BEST SHOE

“Nice, secure fit. No slipping in heel even though it has little structure. Light as a feather, surprising how well they work for daily training.

Any reservations I may have had about how light they were have been dispelled by their performance on the road.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics • Sizes: Men 4–13,14,15,16,17; Women 5–12 • Weight: Men 7.7 oz. (size 11); Women 6.7 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted

Zoot ultra kane

$150

Its light weight places the Ultra Kane squarely in the Performance category, but make no mistake about it: This is a full-featured motion stabilizing shoe. The upper takes a cue from their racer, the Ultra Speed, using compression fabric for a skin-tight fit that flexes just enough to give support while still allowing the foot to move. The midsole is a beefed-up layer of full-length Zbound over a high-quality EVA. These dual-density inserts sit on top of each other separated by a carbon shank and work as a unit to stabilize overpronation. The outersole—carbon rubber in the high-wear areas with blown rubber in the lateral forefoot— is segmented and pared back to save weight, while providing traction, flexibility, and comfort. Overall, the Ultra Kane brings stability, cushioning, and performance to runners and triathletes serious about their run.

“Very snug, comfortable, and supportive. Pretty doggone light, especially for the stability and support. Great shoe, I have to say. No real drawbacks for me.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to very mild overpronation • Sizes: Men 6–14,15,16; Women 6–11 • Weight: Men 10.7 oz. (size 11); Women 9.9 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, EVA Strobel board

aSiCS gel-Cumulus 12 BEST RENOVATION

$100

The Cumulus fills an important role in ASICS’ impressive line of neutral shoes and Round 12 provides the expected quality and FALL 2010 cushioning. A larger heel Gel component increases resiliency, and minor changes to the midsole sculpting and outersole adjustments add stability while refining the transition from heelstrike to toe-off. The ride is much the same as before, just more dialed in. The upper is a nice, open mesh and employs HF-welded supports in the open areas and the logo stripes extend back toward the top of the heel. Other overlays have been reduced or eliminated in areas that are now better supported by the alternate methods. The height of the ankle collar has been lowered to reduce possible irritation but the remaining memory foam conforms well. The interior has a plusher feel and forefoot cushioning has been upgraded by changing the 3⁄4-length Solyte Strobel board to full-length. These modifications and additions result in a better shoe, which is welcome news to Cumulus fans.

BEST NEW“VerySHOE secure fit, with plenty of padding—maybe more than needed. These have been reliably well-cushioned since the beginning, and I appreciate the ride they provide. They are a bit heavy, but that trade-off seems necessary for the cushioning.”

FALL 2010 Updates the Gel-Cumulus 11 • Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics • Sizes: Men 6–13,14,15 (D), 7–13,14,15 (2E,4E); Women 5–13 (2A,B), 6–13 (D) • Weight: Men 13.5 oz.

aSiCS gel-Nimbus 12

BEST SHOE Neutral FA L L 2 0 1 0

$120

The flagship of ASICS’ neutral shoes isn’t what it used to be—it’s better. A men’s size 11 is 5% lighter than last year, the biggest weight loss (0.9 ounces!) among the slimmed-down mid-weight shoes in this review. The upper has retained the stretchy mesh, Biomorphic Fit panels, and asymmetrical lacing, but the individual eyelets have been separated into what ASICS calls Discrete Motion Eyelet Construction to conform to the contours of the foot, improving the fit. The memory foam in the ankle collar has been Stabilizing upgraded in quality the collar height is lower to reduce the possibility of irritation. The midline flex grooves on the underF A L Land 10 2 0as side of the midsole and well as those in the outersole have been opened to allow the foot to follow a more natural path in its gait—put simply, the shoe flexes better with the foot. The plush ride, weight savings, and outstanding fit earned the Nimbus 12 our Best Shoe award in the Neutral category.

NeutRaL/MotioN StaBiLiZiNg Brooks ghost 3

$100

The Ghost has evolved on its way to joining the hot-selling Adrenaline GTS as part of Brooks’ Go 2 Series. The upper is a wide open mesh over a smaller mesh inner layer that moves moisture away and ventilates the foot. The pattern used for the upper has changed a bit and those nips and tucks result in a better fit over the foot’s contours. The shoe has gained some weight, a fair tradeoff for better cushioning and a plusher interior. The biggest improvement is the move to Brooks’ sprung last, which is used in the Glycerin and a few other styles. The profile of the forefoot sweeps up, providing a better transition and more energetic toe-off. The midsole is BioMoGo with its durable responsive ride and great flexibility. The HPR outersole and blown rubber forefoot are familiar and provide the expected performance: good traction, durability, and a little cushioning for your high mileage. Runners looking for responsive cushioning and durability in a mid-priced, neutral shoe should consider the Ghost.

“These shoes fit great. I have found them to be the shoe I have been reaching for when heading out for tempo runs, or this morning’s 1200s.

My feet are happy even after 15 miles in them.”

Updates the Ghost 2 • Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics • Sizes: Men 7–13,14,15 (B,D,2E); Women 5–12 (2A,B,D) • Weight: Men 12.4 oz. (size 11); Women 10.6 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, S-257 Strobel board

Reebok Premier aztrec 2

$85

The Aztrec was an excellent entry-level, neutral trainer that’s now ready to play with the big boys, thanks to some excellent updating by Reebok. It’ll cost you an additional five bucks, but it’s money well spent. The upper has upgraded foam, improved tailoring, and a redesigned tongue, all improving fit and comfort. The injection-molded EVA midsole gets some help from the DMX Foam Strobel board, which is now full-length, and the ride is more responsive and quick instead of somewhat spongy as it was before. The flex grooves have been reworked and newly configured DMPRTEK provides its measure of cushion, as well as durable traction. The heel has a slightly larger outersole pod to improve medial stability, while the lateral side works with the crashpad to keep the foot from drifting inward. Here, design and execution were accomplished with value remaining front and center in the designers’ vision.

“This shoe is light, stable, with the right amount of cushioning, [at] a decent price. What’s not to like?”

Updates the Premier Aztrec • Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics • Sizes: Men 6.5–13,14; Women 5–12 • Weight: Men 12.7 oz. (size 11); Women 10.8 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, DMX Foam Strobel board

Reebok Premier verona Supreme

$95

The Verona has gone through three iterations, each punctuated by methodical improvement. Though not intended for overpronators, the geometry of the midsole is now more forgiving of the efficiency breakdown that can occur with fatigue.

There’s a lateral Shear unit, TPU arches that give a bit on impact and direct the foot from the lateral side, while a convex-shaped medial midsole prevents the foot from rolling inward. The segmented outersole, flex grooves, and lateral crashpad provide additional guidance to the foot for improved biomechanical efficiency, while the DMPRTEK outersole offers durable traction and a bit of extra cushioning. In concert, these changes provide a responsive, cushioned ride. The upper employs a stretch mesh that’s a bit more open for coolness and moving moisture. The tongue has been reshaped and softer lining materials used. The Kinetic Fit Panels are now combined with a SmoothFit interior to improve step-in comfort, even with barefoot use. The midfoot is supported by the saddle created from the Vector stripes. The result is a responsive, mid-weight, mid-priced success story.

“They felt good from the first time I put them on. There’s a lot of padding around the collar. The toe box has a good amount of wiggle room for the tootsies. I felt like I was running (dare I say?) barefoot inside my socks and shoes.”

Updates the Premier Verona KFS 2 • Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics • Sizes: Men 6.5–13,14; Women 5–11,12 • Weight: Men 12.4 oz. (size 11); Women 10.6 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, DMX Foam Strobel board

Saucony Progrid Ride 3

$95

A bit bulkier than last year, the Ride now offers a plusher ride as the midsole features a larger lateral crashpad and forefoot insert. The midsole compound and ProGrid in the heel are durable and provide cushion without mushiness. The upper has a smaller percentage covered with overlays, favoring HF-welded supports in the interior of the forefoot, with fewer spots that might irritate. The fit is secure where necessary and there’s no slipping in the heel, thanks to memory foam in the collar. A moisture-wicking lining prevents the problems associated with wetness. The outersole has newly configured flex grooves, and what appears to be a more substantial shank (though this is difficult to ascertain due to the nature and placement of the device) which helps keep the foot lined up through the footstrike. The durable carbon rubber heel and the blown rubber forefoot contribute their well-known strengths to the layers of cushioning, providing a plush ride to the Ride.

“Quite a bit of cushioning, evenly distributed. They felt a bit heavy but they’re protective, I’ll say that much for them. They did a good job.”

Updates the ProGrid Ride 2 • Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics • Sizes: Men 6.5–13,14,15; Women 5–12 • Weight: Men 13.1 oz. (size 11); Women 10.9 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, HRC Strobel board

karhu Stable Fulcrum Ride

$120

Though the name doesn’t indicate it, the Stable Ride is an update to last year’s model. What else is the same, you ask? The midsole components—including Karhu’s Fulcrum, here in the stability version—and the outersole are essentially the same.

There are always tweaks, especially in updated shoes, but they’ve left the cushy ride and good transition unaltered. The upper has several improvements, primarily for better fit and comfort. The ankle collar and inside heel area have been smoothed out and combine with exterior heel overlays to offer better support. The logo stripes have been scaled down slightly, and thin, individual HF-welded straps now secure the midfoot to the eyestay to provide support while conforming to the foot. The open forefoot has been maintained, allowing the foot to spread comfortably. The weight is up slightly, but the stable, cushioned ride and secure fit may be just what you’re looking for.

“Fit well from toes to ankles. Good stability and cushiness, but the heel felt a little tippy and took some getting used to.”

Updates the Stable Ride • Recommended for: low- to medium-high–arched feet with mild to moderate overpronation • Sizes: Men 8–13,14; Women 6–11 • Weight: Men 13.8 oz. (size 11); Women 11.2 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted Running Network 2010 Fall Shoe Review

MotioN StaBiLiZiNg Mizuno wave alchemy 10

$110

The Alchemy continues to be Mizuno’s most consistent motion stabilizing shoe. The midsole now features the AP+ foam formulation, adding noticeable responsiveness. The forefoot area of the midsole unit has been slightly broadened for better stability and the midsole sculpting allows better articulation with both the ground and the Wave plate. The medial forefoot flex grooves in the outersole have been greatly reduced without inhibiting the transition from heel to toe and the outersole has been even more differentiated by gender: The women’s lateral forefoot is more flexible, while the men’s is a bit stiffer, accommodating average weight differences. New overlays supporting the eyestay wrap the foot better, while the top lateral eyelet is hinged for better customization. The interior sports a new sueded material made even more comfortable by the memory foam ankle collar. The stability, cushioning, and comfort features make the Alchemy 10 Mizuno’s motion stabilizing MVP. “It has a very nice balance of padding and ‘feel’ of the road. My foot feels well protected. After 100 miles, these shoes look and feel brand new. I am pleased to notice that the dark gray collar (lining) around the ankle is a bit more durable than I have seen on most running shoes.”

Updates the Wave Alchemy 9 • Recommended for: low- to medium-arched feet with moderate overpronation • Sizes: Men 7–13,14,15,16 (D,2E); Women 6–12 (AA,B) • Weight: Men 13.9 oz. (size 11); Women 11.2 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted

BEST NEW SHOE FALL 2010

New Balance 1226

$140

The 1226 is New Balance’s most performance-oriented motion stabilizing shoe and it updates the 1225 with some reshaping to improve support and secure the midfoot. Cushioning has been optimized by modifying the rubbery heel crashpad, and the 1225’s three small rubbery inserts are now a single, dual-winged unit in the lateral midfoot that acts as a crashpad under the fifth metatarsal. Stability has been dialed in with adjustments to the Stability Web shank support, as well as a new iteration of Stabilicore that’s thicker where the forces are greatest and a bit thinner where they’re less. The outersole has been completely reworked: Flex grooves have been repositioned and there’s a bit more blown rubber in the forefoot that’s die-cut to allow good flexibility. The fit has also been refined with webbing loops running the length of the eyestay that we found to secure the foot a bit better. The result is a stable, well-supported, well-cushioned shoe.

“Initial fit is comfortable and snug. It seems that these have a nicer and softer feel with some ‘squish.’ Remarkably, these don’t have the same clunky feel that I’ve experienced in previous New Balance stability shoes. It’s a good, comfortable shoe.”

Updates the 1225 • Recommended for: low- to medium-arched feet with moderate to maximum overpronation • Sizes: Men 7–13,14,15,16 (B,D,2E,4E); Women 6–12 (AA,B,D) • Weight: Men 13.8 oz. (size 11); Women 11.5 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, polyurethane Strobel board

$100

The Nike Lunar shoes have been a work in progress, leapfrogging innovation with minor modifications and adjustments. The LunarGlide+ 2 takes the platform and philosophy of the original and refines the final product. The upper has been tailored for a better fit and a new configuration of Flywire in the midfoot provides support that holds the foot securely so it doesn’t slide around inside the open forefoot, a weakness of the initial round. The midsole and ride will be familiar as the Lunarlon foam and components have been retained in their original form. The outersole is essentially unchanged, providing a good combination of traction and durability. The improvements to the upper, the continued great ride, and the welcome price freeze all contribute to earning the LunarGlide+ 2 honors as our Best Shoe in the Motion Stabilizing category.

“Love the way they fit—nice and smooth, and hug your foot and arch. Super light, springy feeling while I run, but they still have plenty of cushion and support. The stability of the shoes is good. They cinch up around my foot nicely and hold it in place quite well.”

Pearl izumi isoShift

$120

The new IsoShift debuts Pearl Izumi’s new technology called the Graduated Guidance System. This is the most efficient midsole geometry that Pearl Izumi has used in a motion stabilizing shoe to date. It keeps the weight down by using a cradle of second density EVA foam to assist the foot through the gait cycle. The shoe affords plenty of stability with good cushioning that has a bouncy response. The upper has the seam-free construction the brand is known for, along with HF-welded overlays adding a touch of support at the top and bottom edges of the eyestay, and sturdier synthetic overlays in the heel and toe. A new outersole configuration of carbon rubber provides durability and traction. If Pearl Izumi has been a satisfying choice for your training, the IsoShift should be a quality performer for you.

“Fit well; it really secured my foot. Decent cushion, better after a few break-in miles. The stability was about as good as Pearl Izumi has done, and it feels a lot lighter.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with very mild to moderate overpronation • Sizes: Men 7–13,14; Women 5–11,12 • Weight: Men 12.6 oz. (size 11); Women 10.4 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, EVA Strobel board

Puma vectana 2

$100

For Puma, the Vectana ushered in a return to a traditional approach to motion stabilizing shoes and Version 2 irons out some bugs while refining its strengths. The fit has been adjusted, in part by tailoring, in part by the rake of the heel, and the shoe now fits true to size (the original ran about a half-size small). The upper—from the stretchy mesh to the memory foam ankle collar—is still very plush, while supportively securing the foot over the midsole. The cushioning is first-rate, thanks to a combination of components: mostly EVA and a blend of rubber, but the DuoCell unit in the heel contributes, as do the Ortholite innersole and ldCell Strobel board. The M2D (medial second density) extends farther from the arch toward the heel for better stability. The outersole has increased decoupling in the heel to slow overpronation and more segmentation in the forefoot to provide better flexibility for toe-off. The net effect is a plush, stable, high-mileage training shoe.

“Love them. My foot is healing and I upped my miles in these shoes—I liked the stability they provided. I put about 150 miles on these and they still are wearing really well.”

Updates the Vectana • Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with mild to moderate overpronation • Sizes: Men 7.5–13,14; Women 5.5–12 • Weight: Men 14.0 oz. (size 11); Women 11.6 oz.

A cross country team’s success is largely determined in the training and socialization process that takes place before the races. When we consider that cross country is a team event, with only one person who can win, team racing strategies are critical. Teams that train together and learn the importance of working together have more success than teams that are developed as individuals. And this attitude is developed in training as the team learns to run together and support each other.

There are a number of valuable lifelong lessons that cross country running will instill in team members, ranging from working together and helping people who are struggling, to realizing that a team is only as strong as its weakest member.

Saucony team runner Molly Huddle, 2008 U.S. 10,000 meters champion, who ran for the U.S. team at last year’s World Cross Country Championships, emphasizes the importance and influence of being part of the team. She says, “I would tell high school runners to relish the team experience if they can, because if you’re lucky enough to have a solid team, it is the best part of running cross country. Running for the rest of the team is a great motivator to get the best race out of yourself and have fun at the same time!”

Molly tells how her strong team spirit helped her in the World Champs. She says, “World Cross is a confusing and exciting experience but definitely one of the coolest races out there. It’s hard to know who to aim for and everyone up front is intimidatingly fast! But I kept my head in the race by thinking of the goal of the team medal and knowing whereabouts I’d have to finish and which countries I had pass for us to score low enough to get it.”

How do coaches prepare their teams to think like a team? Having the runners warm up and cool down together, do their long training runs together, travel to meets together, and socialize are great ways to bring them together. The community college team that I coached was by far the largest in our Northwest conference (we had 45 runners!) and usually placed in the last few teams in the competition. But my runners would always stay by the finish and cheer their teammates on, including one girl who was always last by several minutes. Runners from other teams would always gawk at our team when they did this, but I can proudly say that my team had the best spirit, regardless of their performance.

Saucony team runner and 2008 Olympic marathoner Magdalena Lewy Boulet sums it up nicely when she advises high school cross country runners. “My strongest recommendation is that when preparing to race cross country, an athlete should incorporate training on grass, dirt, and hills. It’s important to train on the same surface you will race.

But mainly, have fun with it. It’s a great sport and you have an opportunity to be a part of a team, so have a good time with your teammates!”

USATF’s Board Needs to Improve To the Board of Directors of USATF: In the last few months, you have done considerable damage to our sport.

Most recently, your clumsily carried-out dismissal of Doug Logan has given track and field a black eye. For many people in business and the media, track and field has become a laughingstock. Don’t expect many new sponsors in the next few years.

What’s more, you’ve done it all in secrecy, while the hundreds of thousands of people in the sport who care about its governance—elite athletes, officials, coaches, meet directors, agents, the shoe industry, journalists, and many, many fans—have been kept in the dark. Over and over in the past three months people have asked, “What the hell is going on?”

It’s time to stop. USATF’s leadership is fond of talking about “transparency,” while practicing the opposite. Now it’s time to walk the walk.

Here are two steps you can take immediately to begin to fulfill your obligation of keeping the track and field community fully informed about the governance of the sport.

1. Immediate and continuing publication of the complete minutes, verbatim, of all USATF Board meetings from January 1, 2008 on, to be published online—without passwords or encryption—so that everyone interested in the sport can learn what those who govern the sport have been doing over the past three years and are doing now, and will do in the future. If verbatim transcripts of the meetings aren’t available, we need to know why.

2. Full disclosure of all meetings, conversations, correspondence, records, etc., concerned with the hiring of Doug Logan. We need to know, in detail, how USATF hired, for its most important job, an individual who knew absolutely nothing about the sport, had only three years’ sports management experience, and whose previous employment for most of his business career was as a rock concert promoter.

That’s a start on measuring up to your responsibilities.
