A special time for runners W

elcome to the 2009 Cross Country Yearbook! This is a fine example of how various media partners can work together for the common good.

Walt Murphy, editor of XCountry XPress and Eastern Track, provides us with his annual review of the 2008 cross country season, plus the 2009 XC schedule.

Sean Hartnett, TFN’s professor of the marathon, provides us with a 10-page photo essay on last fall’s NCAA men’s and women’s races.

We at ATF provide the design of Kristen Cerer, the editing of James Dunaway, and the thoughtful observations of Dick Patrick. We also provide you with our Fall RN shoe review and a two-page review of cross country racing shoes, courtesy of Cregg Weinmann and Christine Johnson, giving you unbiased, expert guidance on both training and racing shoes.

I must admit, I love cross country. It is honest, challenging, and it was the part of the sport where I had the most fun and success. Cross country, as former RW editor Joe Henderson wrote, is the meeting place of the miler and marathoner. Up hill, down hill, through mud, then sprint madly to the finish, and catching your breath, walking with your lungs gasping for air, remembering where you can get better on the course next time.

Alan Webb, 2008 Olympic Trials

F

or 10 track seasons, miler Alan Webb and Scott Raczko were athlete and coach. Raczko developed Webb into the fastest prep miler in U.S. history (3:53.43) in 2001 and the U.S. recordholder (3:46.91) in 2007. But in August their 10-year partnership came to an end.

After two consecutive disappointing seasons, Webb elected to leave Reston, VA, where he grew up and attained his greatest successes, to relocate to Portland where he will be coached by Alberto Salazar.

According to a knowledgeable source, Webb was pressured by his shoe company, Nike, to make the move. But Webb’s agent, Ray Flynn, said that wasn’t the case: “It’s an amicable decision between [Alan] and Scott. But it’s Alan’s decision [that] he needs a change. He likes the resources and the infrastructure of the Oregon project.

“Scott has coached him to the highest level of any American miler ever. Alan is respectful of what Scott has done for him. But he’s reached a stage in his career now at 26 years old that he feels [he] needs to make a change. The Oregon project is presenting itself as the best option for him where he feels he can make … positive changes in his career. Sometimes we all need a change.”

After an impressive 2007 when Webb had the best time in the world in the mile and 1500 (3:30.54) plus the #2 800 (1:43.84), Webb struggled. He overtrained in 2008, finishing 5th in the 1500 at the Trials and missing the team; he was hampered by hamstring and Achilles injuries this season and withdrew from the final at the USA Championships, the qualifier for the world championships.

Earlier this year, Webb visited Portland, where Salazar and Jerry Schumacher train separate groups of Nike-sponsored runners that include U.S. and NCAA 10,000 champion Galen Rupp, U.S. 5000 champ Matt Tegenkamp, multi-U.S. recordholder Shalane Flanagan, top marathoner Kara Goucher, and U.S. 10,000 champ Amy Begley.

In late July, Salazar said he heard from Webb. “Alan called asking me to become his coach,” Salazar said. “To be honest I was completely surprised by it.”

Raczko has coached Webb since his sophomore year at South Lakes High School in Reston with the exception of the 2001–02 academic year when Webb was a freshman at Michigan.

For all his success with runners from 5000 through the marathon, Salazar hasn’t coached a top 1500 runner. “I’m confident we have the resources here and I can acquire the knowledge necessary,” said Salazar, a former Boston and New York marathon winner.

In early August Webb flew out to Portland to visit Nike headquarters and undergo a biomechanical evaluation. Then he went to Palo Alto, CA to visit noted podiatrist Amol Saxena, who will treat his Achilles problem with shock-wave therapy. He’s expected to relocate to Portland in September or October. “We want to get him healthy first,” Salazar said.

Salazar wants Webb, who has a muscular upper body, to lose some of his bulk: “He won’t touch a weight the first six months. He has to lean out.”

After missing consecutive U.S. teams, Webb may need both a physical and mental makeover. “With any change there’s risk,” Flynn said. “For whatever reason, things weren’t working.”

Rupp's strong finish Galen Rupp had a storybook senior year at Oregon. The former Portland Central Cathlolic, sometimes rapped for never winning an NCAA individual title in his first three collegiate seasons, finished with a cross country title in the fall, the 3000 and 5000 indoors plus the 10,000 outdoors—leading the Ducks as they won team titles in cross country and indoors and fell just two points short outdoors.

There were mental and physical reasons for Rupp’s banner year. The mental: less stress. “It’s funny this year,” he said. “The less I’ve thought about individual titles and the more I’ve thought about the team, it’s like those guys have helped me become better and win by not worrying so much about myself. But I always felt that if an NCAA championship was going to define me, I might as well just

run college and stop. But it was a weight off my shoulders.”

The physical: Rupp developed a kick. Since watching Kenyan-turnedAmerican Bernard Lagat do a speed workout before winning the 1500 and 5000 at the 2007 worlds, Rupp and his coach, Salazar, have stressed more speed workouts. Rupp closed 1500s this spring in 52.2 for the final 400 and 1:53 for the final 800. He’s run a personal best 1500 of 3:39.14, equivalent to a 3:56 mile.

Salazar, who has coached Rupp since high school, said watching a Lagat pre-meet workout in Osaka in 2007 “was an epiphany” for both coach and runner. Rupp had finished a workout of 300 repeats, running them in 42–44 seconds. Lagat showed up and reeled off nine in under 40 seconds.

“All of a sudden it became apparent to us that’s the sort of speed you have to have,” Salazar said. “He can come out and run nine under 40 without it tiring him. We realized we had to concentrate on this. We don’t give up the long stuff but year round we have to keep doing the short speed work. That way you’ll develop it. If you just do it for three or four months you won’t get to the point necessary.

Never get away from it.”

Late in the college season, Rupp did nine 300s in 39 or faster. “We laughed and said, ‘Remember when this all started?’” Salazar said. “He wasn’t feeling tired and this was in the middle of a 100-mile week. My belief is that when you do that fast stuff, when you go to your slower [race] pace, you’re so economical. It’s like you’re jogging at race pace.”

sure love to get the names. Let them start answering questions. A lot of them have been scot free and holier than thou.”

Connolly also suspects that there were several positives from the 1984 Trials that have been covered up.

According to the story, USOC officials stated they “did not know or would not confirm” whether athletes testing positive competed in the ’84 Games.

Connolly is convinced that there were U.S. medal winners who received performance-enhancing drugs from Los Angeles physician Robert Kerr. Kerr, who died in 2001 at 65, told a Canadian inquiry in 1989 that he provided drugs to about 20 medal winners in Los Angeles, not all of them Americans. U.S. sprinter Diane Williams, who did not medal in 1984, was a regular visitor to Kerr’s office, where she saw other prominent athletes.

In 1989, Connolly and two of her sprinters, Williams and 1984 Olympic 100-meter champion Evelyn Ashford, appeared before a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing chaired by current Vice President Joe Biden, then a senator from Delaware. Williams told of being persuaded to use steroids by coach Chuck Debus (who was subsequently banned from the sport) and that she received a letter from the USOC that she had tested positive

and needed to be clean before the Games. She left Debus later in 1984 to be coached by Connolly.

At the time, the USOC denied cover-ups, through then-spokesperson Mike Moran: “Any athlete or coach who insinuates that the USOC designed or was involved in a program conceived for the purpose of helping athletes avoid detection … is totally out of touch with reality.”

The emphasis of Connolly’s testimony was that the USOC and The Athletics Congress, the then-name for USA Track and Field, weren’t capable of testing because of a conflict of interest. “It became clear that with TAC and USOC given the job of enforcing drug legislation, drug use would only escalate,” Connolly testified. “It did.”

The USOC and USATF no longer handle drug testing. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency took over testing for Olympic sports after the Sydney Olympics in 2000.

“USATF believes that any athlete, in any era, should be banned from competition if they are found to have cheated,” said USATF spokesperson Jill Geer. “The anti-doping movement was in its relative infancy 25 years ago, in terms of sophistication and comprehensiveness, and USATF and our current leadership have no knowledge of the reported program described.”

USOC Shenanigans This is why an independent testing agency is necessary for legitimate drug testing. At least 34 U.S. track and field athletes tested positive for drugs leading into the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics without being punished by the U.S. Olympic Committee, according to a story by Scott Reid in the Orange County Register.

The news was the large number of positives. When a few athletes in the 1980s revealed they had received letters from the USOC that they had tested positive but never received penalties, the USOC acknowledged its non-punitive program it said was preparing testers and athletes for the Games. The USOC, however, never revealed the scope of the program.

Twenty-eight of 50 athletes tested in early 1984 turned up positive on the A sample without the B sample being tested for confirmation as strict protocol requires. In another batch, six of 10 athletes were positive for testosterone, according to USOC documents obtained by the Register. The positive percentage, 57%, is staggering.

Pat Connolly, a coach of elite athletes and a long-time anti-steroid advocate, wants one more piece of news: “Give us the names. That’s my reaction. If they ever came forward with the names, it would be a who’s who of the best medal winners. I’d

Coaching moves When Dick Booth’s contract as an assistant at Arkansas was not renewed by first-year head coach Chris Bucknam, it took less than 24 hours for the well-respected Razorback jumps coach to find a new job. He was quickly hired by SEC rival Florida. In Booth’s 27 seasons at Arkansas, he produced 45 individual NCAA champions and 11 Olympians, and played a major role in Arkansas’ 29 indoor and outdoor team titles. For his first year or two in Gainesville he’ll be trying to beat the Hog jumpers he left behind, most notably 26-111⁄4 long jumper Alain Bailey and long/triple jumper Tarik Batchelor.

Art Venegas was released at UCLA after 10 years as head men’s coach and 28 as an assistant. The Bruins won a Pac-10 title and two West Regional team titles during his time as head coach. Considered one of the top throws coaches in the world, he declined an offer to stay on in his former role as the Bruins’ throws coach. UCLA swiftly announced that it had hired Mike Maynard of Boise State to replace Venegas.

Bell Lap • It’s no surprise that Galen Rupp signed with Nike after his last track season at Oregon. When your coach, Salazar, and your agent, Michael Johnson, have buildings named after them at Nike headquarters, it isn’t likely you’ll switch to another company. His annual salary, according to an informed source: $500,000.

• Kara Goucher, third in April’s Boston Marathon, tuned up for the World Championships marathon by being the overall winner of the inaugural Rock ’N’ Roll Chicago Half Marathon in 1:08:05. The race provided no prize money so there were no elite male entries. Goucher’s strategy for Berlin: “If I blow up at halfway, I blow up halfway. I didn’t put my life on hold not to take a risk.”

• It was a fantasy senior year for prep decathlete Curtis Beach of Albuquerque.

Not only did he set prep marks for the event with high school and international implements plus win the Pan-American Junior Championships (7,377), he spent a day shadowing USATF CEO Doug Logan after Logan read in USA Today that Beach’s dream job was to head USATF. Not only is Beach a track nut statistically, he’s interested in promoting the sport. “I asked Mr. Logan what necessary skills needed to be developed in order to be successful in his job,” he wrote in a blog for dyestat.com. “The number one thing he gave as advice was this: Learn how to process a lot of information and be able to make a firm, well-prioritized decision. His recommendation for how to learn this skill: law school.”

• John Godina, a three-time world champion and two-time Olympic medalist in the shot put, retired early in 2009 and has established a throwing center in Phoenix. The World Throws Center offers training for throwers of all ages, contains 31,000 square feet, weight room, pool and recovery tanks.

Godina, who is presently coaching U.S. indoor champ Dan Taylor in the shot put, is also affiliated with Athletes’ Performance in Phoenix where several well-known athletes in other sports do off-season training. The staff will include Dave Dumble, who coached Godina late in his career.

• The International Olympic Committee is considering making it mandatory that athletes name their doctor(s) and physiotherapist(s) at the start of each season in an attempt to further reduce doping. “Doping has become so scientific that it is impossible for an athlete without an effective entourage,” said IOC vice president Thomas Bach. “You get the impression at many hearings that most athletes are victims rather than culprits. Often only the athlete is sanctioned as the weakest link. This cannot be tolerated.

“We are spreading the responsibility to the entourage of the athletes. We expect more pressure on the athletes’ (supporting cast) and a raised inhibition level.”

Bach said names of doctors and therapists connected with athletes’ testing positive would be passed onto state authorities, which could lead to criminal prosecution.

• “U.S.A.” weren’t the only initials sported by the American team at the Berlin World Championships. American athletes also displayed the initials “J O” on their uniforms in the Olympic Stadium in Berlin to commemorate the feats of Jesse Owens, who won the 100, 200 and long jump, and ran on the victorious 4x100 relay there at the 1936 Games. Descendants of Owens and Luz Long, the German long jumper who provided Owens some advice when the American was in danger of fouling out of the long jump, were scheduled to meet. “I hope that just having his initials on their apparel will inspire some for the athletes to remember this time so many years ago and it will inspire them,” said Marlene Dortch, Owens’ granddaughter. “I know from people like Michael Johnson, who shared so much about what my grandfather meant to him, so I hope that it would continue. What a great tribute to his legacy.”

Protecting Your Track from Abuse Part Two: To Lock or not to Lock?

I

n Part One (Summer 2009, Vol. 16, No. 3), we noted that many potential sources of damage to tracks can be headed off by careful planning in selecting the right track surface (with help from a track contractor familiar with local conditions and customs), and by signs that explicitly describe what’s allowed (running and walking) and what’s forbidden (dogs, roller skates, walking or slow running in lane one, football cleats, kids playing in the long jump pit, etc.).

But sometimes these sensible, civilized measures aren’t enough. You need to get tougher.

When … and Who? The first thing to do is determine exactly when the damage is occurring.

Is it during phys ed classes or intramurals? After school? At night? On weekends? Is it over the summer, when there are no student practices and fewer maintenance and security people around?

And who is doing the damage?

Are there local running clubs or fitness groups using the track who may unknowingly be using the wrong footwear? Are students sneaking into the area at night to party, or to find a private place for other activities? Are vandals getting into the facility after hours and purposely being destructive? Are there users who disregard the warnings about proper track usage?

To get the answers to these questions, enlist the help of your regular track users. Ask them to keep their eyes open, and to report to you if they see kids heading for the bleachers, if they notice people riding bicycles around the track, and so on.

Find out days of the week and times these incidents occur. Don’t expect your users to police the track, but make it clear to them that your door (or even your e-mail box) is always open for them to report such activity. Once you get a bead on your culprits, it’s easier to stop them in their tracks—either with a visit from the local police or campus security (if

there’s crime or mischief going on), or with a visit from your athletic director, who can address negligence issues such as users with improper footwear.

Taking Action The information you gather will help you decide what to do.

For example, fences, fence mazes, and turnstiles on entrance gates can help cut down on the use of bicycles, strollers, motorcycles, and other larger or more unwieldy vehicles on the track, being careful, of course, to satisfy ADA requirements.

Lighting is a surefire way to increase the safety and security of your facility. If you host athletic events at night, you of course already have lighting. Even if you don’t have night events, lighting can increase a sense of security among facility users, particularly if your facility is open for use 24 hours a day. And generally speaking, lighting a facility creates a bright spot on the campus, and making it much less inviting for those who want to loi-

track construction

ter or cause trouble after hours.

“Short of closing the facility, I think motion lights would go a long ways towards preventing some of this vandalism,” said Sam Fisher of Fisher Tracks in Boone, IA. “Turnstile gates obviously deter or slow down tricycles, bikes and strollers on the track itself.

We feel, and many of the owners have concurred, that signage has done the best job of informing the public of the dos and don’ts on the track. Most people, especially in the small communities, are very proud of their track and exercise not only great care themselves but are quick to help police the facility for activities detrimental to the long-term success of the facility.”

“Kids do the damnedest things and vandalism is always a concern,” says Rick Ryan of Midwest Track Builders in Wauconda, IL. “Have school security or maintenance look at the facility on a schedule or the local law enforcement to drive through the area every few hours, and/or you could install security cameras to monitor the facility.”

Sometimes, though, the simplest remedies should be tried first.

Programming is an excellent way to increase the foot traffic into and out of the track. Vandals and those who are breaking the rules don’t want an audience. Summer sports programs and camps, local athletic clubs, training programs for area races sponsored by running apparel stores, weight loss groups, and others are examples of potential users of your track and field facility. As always, make sure everyone knows the rules.

Dogs? Absolutely Not! The concept of off-leash dog parks is great, in theory. Problem is, when people don’t have access to a fenced-in dog park, they often try to make do with an athletic field. After all, it’s green and fenced, right? Wrong. Dog waste is only part of the problem. Whether it’s on a natural grass field or on an artificial turf facility—where things can really get messy—the problem of off-leash dogs is a safety issue, not just an animal lover’s quandary.

Loose dogs can attack one another, or can chase runners who are using the

track. Post “No Dogs” signs prominently. On the same sign, put an emergency number for track users to call if they see someone bringing a dog into the area.

Many areas have leash laws, an infraction of which can result in a fine. Your local Animal Control office should be made aware if users are reporting a constant problem with dogs.

And as a side note, it’s not just off-leash dogs that can create problems. Even canines that stay leashed will stop to relieve themselves—and that starts a whole new problem.

According to Norm Porter, dog urine is acidic, and can break down the track if it gets onto the surface. “I feel the school board should post “rules of usage” for the running track and they should include a restriction against dogs,” he notes. “If the school board gives a justifiable reason for the restrictions, I don’t think the public would have any problems.”

To Lock or not to Lock?

No one security solution will work for everyone. Some managers have found that keeping gates locked when the facility is closed to the public is the only way for them to control unauthorized use, and abuse of an expensive school asset. However, there are an equal number of track contractors who disagree with the notion of “open” and “closed” hours. Norm Porter is one of these.

“First, as a personal preference, I would strongly discourage locking up tracks to keep them from unauthorized use,” says Porter. “In most cases, the ‘unauthorized’ people who would use the tracks are the local residents whose property taxes probably went into the money used by the school to pay for the track. I remember in my local school district that a brand new athletic field complex was ‘sold’ to the school district as a community-friendly site with open access to the complex and even an area set aside for strictly public use. When the bond issue passed and the complex was completed, there was no public use area and the public was, in fact, denied access to the complex without specific permission of the school board. As a

result, there was a great deal of bad feeling locally and it was several years before any other monies were approved for the school district.”

In an era when everyone is watching the bottom line, many are turning to public facilities rather than to expensive private clubs to get the workouts they need—and they’re coming at times convenient to their schedules, possibly before sunrise or after nightfall. Student athletes who want to stay in shape over the summer will also spend time at the facility. And with more parents trying to get (and keep) their kids active, it becomes important to have a free fitness facility nearby that the whole family can enjoy together. They’re all good reasons to keep the doors open.

The important thing, say the pros, is to ensure the safety of the track and those who use it, while keeping it as open and accessible as possible. One local facility operator has taken a cue from looking at the signs on the back of 18-wheelers on the road. The sign that is now posted right next to the facility entrance (and right next to the list of rules) notes, “If you see this facility being used in an unsafe or improper manner, call this number for campus security.”

Effectively, the sign makes everyone who uses the facility a steward of it.

Remember that the most important deterrent to bad behavior is a good example. If the responsible athletes—the ones who respect the facility and use it properly—feel welcome, they’ll keep coming back. Those who don’t want to behave will learn quickly that they have to shape up, or find another place to shape up.

TEAMS

Sally Kipyego of Texas Tech became the first woman to win three NCAA cross country titles with another runaway performance on a cold, windy day in Terre Haute. Florida State’s Susan Kuijken stayed with Kipyego through the early stages of the 6K race, but finally yielded and held on for 2nd place.

Kipyego joins three legends of the sport who each won three men’s titles— Washington’s Gerry Lindgren, Oregon’s Steve Prefontaine, and Washington State’s Henry Rono.

Some three months later, the senior nursing student from Kenya closed out her collegiate career by winning the 5000 meters at the 2009 NCAA Indoor Championships, giving her a total of nine individual titles and tying her with Wisconsin’s Suzy Favor as the winningest female in NCAA history.

The University of Washington, heavily favored to win the women’s team title, had some anxious moments early on as Oregon was the leader after the 2K split and Husky head coach Greg Metcalf (Kelly Strong is the women’s cross country coach) couldn’t spot some of his expected scorers. “Where are they?” he asked of no one in particular. Not to worry, though, as frosh Christine Babcock (7th) and Kendra Schaaf (12th), sophomore Mel Lawrence (25th), junior Katie Follett (26th) and senior Amanda Miller (34th) came through to give the Huskies their first-ever NCAA team title in track and field or cross country (both men and women).

For the second year in a row, Oregon (running without the injured Melissa Grelli) and Florida State finished 2nd and 3rd, respectively, with West Virginia picking up its first-ever team trophy in 4th place. Three-time defending champion Stanford finished 8th.

The men’s race featured another battle between Oregon’s Galen Rupp and a runner from Liberty. Last year, Josh McDougal had the upper hand in a terrific battle with Rupp, and this year’s race was almost a carbon copy. Sam Chelanga, who transferred from Fairleigh Dickinson to Liberty after the 2006–07 school year, built a big early lead, much as he had done in the PreNationals held here last month.

Rupp and Duck coach Vin Lananna were prepared for this and the plan was to be patient. It worked; Rupp gradually caught up to Chelanga, and the two went stride-for-stride for the latter half of the race. Unlike in the 2007 race, when Rupp felt he had made his final move too soon, he timed his kick perfectly, waiting until the final 200 meters to move away from Chelanga and earn the first NCAA individual title of his career. He also became the first Duck to win the NCAA title since 1978, when Alberto Salazar, Rupp’s “personal” coach since high school, turned the trick.

Senior Rupp got strong top-10 support from freshman Luke Puskedra (5th) and senior Shadrack Kiptoo-Biwott (9th) as Oregon won its second straight team title. The other scorers for coach Lananna were redshirt freshman Matthew Centrowitz (45th) and sophomore Diego Mercado (54th). Rounding out their top-seven were Kenny Klotz (66th) and Rupp’s Olympic teammate, Andy Wheating (75th).

In a battle tinged with irony, Iona and Wisconsin ran 2–3 for most of the race (Mick Byrne had guided Iona to a 2nd-place finish in 2007, but then took over for Jerry Schumacher at Wisconsin in 2008). The Gaels, now coached by one of Byrne’s former runners at the New Rochelle school, Ricardo Santos, held on for its second straight runnerup finish, while the Badgers slipped to 4th behind Stanford, which was led by the 7th-place finish of freshman Chris Derrick.

The other heralded freshman in the race, Oklahoma State’s German Fernandez, was moving up in the pack when he went down with an Achilles tendon injury, having less than a mile to go in the race. Without the expected top-

NCAA Div. II Championships Sweep for Adams State Cooper’s Lake Campground, Slippery Rock, PA, Nov. 22, 2008, cold, snow, windy Adams State: www.ascgrizzlies.com/article.asp?articleID=3027 Flotrack Video—Scotty Bauhs: tinyurl.com/llxdgu Jessica Pixler: NCAA Blog: www.ncaa.com/blog/jessica_pixler/ Flotrack Video: tinyurl.com/lfvg5d Results: Men: www.rockathletics.com/custompages/stats/XC/R112208AE.html Women: www.rockathletics.com/custompages/stats/XC/R112208AI.HTML It was the sixth sweep of the team titles for the Grizzlies of Adams State.

Leading the way for coach Damon Martin’s men’s team, which had finished 2nd the previous four years, was junior Aaron Braun, who repeated his 2ndplace finish from 2007. Backing up Braun were fellow juniors Brian Medigovich (6th), Ryan McNiff (16th), Luke Cragg (24th), and Florian Theophile (31st) for a total of 67 points.

Second in the team race at 88 was Adams’ long-time rival, Western State, while Chico State nudged Abilene Christian, the 2-time defending champions, back to 4th, 120–128.

With Abilene’s 4-time winner Nicodemus Naimadu finally out of eligibility, Chico State senior Scotty Bauhs, who was 3rd as a junior in 2006 (he redshirted in 2007), stepped up to claim the individual title and helped Chico equal the school’s best finish ever.

For the Adams State women (79 points), who were led by the 4th-place finish of senior Heather Wood, it was their 6th straight (and 14th overall) team title. Rounding out the scoring were junior Lavenna Mullenbach (14th), frosh J.J. Lende (27th), junior Janette Cary (30th) and sophomore Sofia Monroe (32nd).

Grand Valley State (102) was 2nd in the team scoring, followed by Western State (183) and Seattle Pacific (194).

Winning the individual title for the second year in a row was Seattle Pacific junior Jessica Pixler, who missed the 2008 outdoor track season due to a stress fracture.

NCAA Div. III Championships Hanover, IN, Nov. 22, 2008 Cortland: tinyurl.com/nfw4gb Middlebury: tinyurl.com/mkk53v Middlebury, the 2006 champions, fell all the way to 15th in 2007, but bounced back to the top in 2008 to earn its 5th women’s title since 2000.

Leading the way for coach Terry Aldrich’s Panthers was Alexandra Krieg (6th), the only senior in the team’s top five, followed by sophomore Hannah Meier (39th) and three freshmen, Elise Moody-Roberts (57th), Claire McIlvennie (78th) and Margo Cramer (98th).

Finishing behind Middlebury (179 points) in this high-scoring affair were Calvin (237), Williams (240), and Wartburg (284).

The individual winner was Bethel’s Marie Borner, a junior who finished 17th in 2007.

Long competing in the shadow of its women’s team, winner of seven national titles, Cortland’s men finally had a chance to celebrate their own national championship, beating North Central for the crown, 80–115. It was a gradual, gradual trip to the top for the team, finishing 4th in 2006 and 3rd in 2007.

Cortland got top-20 finishes from junior Seth Dubois (7th), senior Shamus Nally (11th) and senior Josh Henry (15th), and they were backed up by junior Justin Wager (28th) and Kyle O’Brien (61st).

Hamilton junior Peter Kosgei, 2nd in 2007, won his first national title in cross country to go along with the eight that he’s now won on the track.

Kosgei’s National titles: 2007—steeplechase 2008—800 and mile(indoors), steeplechase, 5000(outdoors) 2009—mile(indoors), steeplechase, 5000(outdoors)

JUNIOR COLLEGE DIV. I Spartanburg, SC, Nov. 8, 2008, ideal Iowa Central: tinyurl.com/mj6gyl Paradise Valley: www.pvc.maricopa.edu/athletics/s_xc.php Getting top-10 finishes from frosh Agnes Kipsoiyo (2nd), sophomore Joyce Cheruiyot (7th), and frosh AG Bradford (8th), Iowa Central won its second women’s team title in a row. The other scorers for coach Dee Brown were frosh Kara Keller (15th) and sophomore Holly Tjaden (23rd). The Tritons scored 53 points to turn back Butler County (92), which had been ranked #1 throughout the season. Central Arizona’s Rose Tanui, a freshman from Kenya, was the individual champion.

Running as a “true” team, Paradise Valley’s men started out conservatively, but then started moving through the field and wound up as team champions over South Plains, 97–109. The five scorers for coach Dave Barney were sophomore Eric Harasyn (16th), freshmen Tailhar Hasson (17th), George Alex (21st) and Aaron Sherf (23rd) and sophomore Jeremy Sudbury (28th).

Individual champion was Rend Lake freshman Stephen Sambu, one of 12 Kenyans to finish in the top 15.

It’s not easy building a winning streak in the junior college ranks when you only have runners for two years, but SUNY-Delhi has now won five men’s team titles in a row. Sophomore Chris Mason led the way for coach Bob Backus, winning the individual title for the second year in a row. Teammate Chris Burke finished 2nd, and the remaining scorers were fellow freshman Ethan Lennox (16th), sophomore Tim Flynn (18th) and Corey Clavert (27th).

There was also a 1–2 finish in the women’s race, with frosh Heather Vroman and Hannah Hollman leading Mohawk Valley to the team title, its ninth since 1991. The other scorers for coach Gary Parker were sophomores Sara Pick (8th) and Lauren Penc (18th), and freshman Johanna Delaney (29th).

Coupled with the men’s team’s 2nd-place finish Mohawk received the coveted Pepsi Cup, awarded to the college with the best combined men and women’s finish at the national championships.

Keflezighi, healthy again after battling injuries the last couple of years, looked like a runaway winner at one point, but then had to hold off the late charge of Tim Nelson, with both runners being timed in 36:06 for the 12K race.

Brown had an easier time of it, winning by more than 30 seconds.

Oklahoma State freshman German Fernandez won his second consecutive junior men’s title, while the women’s race went to Shippensburg frosh Neely Spence.

SHOE REVIEWS: Neutral—iii | Motion Stabilizing—iv | Performance—v

2009 FALL

SHOE REVIEW T

his fall, three major trends continue among running shoes: gender specificity, ever-lighter shoes, and incorporation of innovative solutions in shoe development.

Gender-specific design is becoming a best practice with each brand adapting its technologies and design to make its shoes better suited to consumers. The old “Shrink It and Pink It” approach won’t cut it anymore. All consumers, but especially women, expect that shoes will cushion or flex appropriately for their size, weight, and gait.

New materials that provide the same or better quality but weigh less are resulting in shoes lighter than their predecessors. New compounds and components continue to migrate from other industries and shoes will improve as a result.

These materials also are more durable; in fact, fully a third of the Performance shoes in this Review can handle the rigors of daily training.

Innovations and approaches to biomechanical challenges are raising the bar for the industry as a whole. Some of these innovations have come from the automotive and aerospace industries, but more of the brands are finding opportunities and adaptations to refine their own technologies. This creative engineering and continual search for chemical solutions for all shoe components has resulted in more effective foot protection and improved shoe performance.

Welcome to the Running Network’s 2009 Fall Shoe Review!

I

t’s the last weekend in July, on a Sunday night at about midnight. I’ve spent the last few days meeting with athletes, coaches, fans, and agents at one of the largest athletic meets in the world, the Aviva London Grand Prix.

On Friday, I witnessed Usain Bolt run a 9.91 for 100 meters into a 1.7 meters-per-second headwind! The crowd of 16,000 went absolutely nuts. On Saturday, Tyson Gay ran 20.00 seconds for 200 meters despite a sore groin and after two weeks of not running. Later that day, Bernard Lagat led 11 men under 4 minutes in the Emsley Carr Mile, one of the most famous mile races in the world, dating back to 1953. Afterward, Lagat stood in front of the crowd and said, “I have wanted to win the Emsley Carr race for several years, but most importantly, I wanted to thank the fans. Without you, we, the athletes, could not do what we do.”

Whether at track meets, marathons, or road races, we all celebrate our ability to run, jump, and throw. You may remember an ad from a few years ago that claimed, “It’s all about the shoes.” I’m not certain it’s all about the shoes, but it’s certainly a lot about the shoes. We each need to find a shoe that works for us and our particular event. And now more than ever, your specific biomechanics need to align with the specifics of a particular shoe.

For the past decade, the Running Network LLC has called on its footwear reviewer, Cregg Weinmann, to test, evaluate, and review the latest shoes on the market so that we can provide you with this Shoe Review. We believe it’s an important starting point on your journey to find your best running shoe. And after you’ve had a chance to read Cregg’s reviews, head on over to your favorite local running store to try them out.

As one of the 750,000-plus readers of a Running Network member publication, we thank you for reading this Review and we echo Lagat’s sentiments: We couldn’t do our work without your support.

NEUTRAL

ASICS Gel-Nimbus 11

$125

With a well-deserved reputation for consistent performance, protection, and quality, the Nimbus 11 keeps the edgy aspects of the Nimbus 10 while integrating some new strengths. The upper features asymmetrical lacing (though it has been altered from last season’s version), subtly providing the same contoured fit without overlays to irritate the foot. The midsole has a lower profile, the heel cradle and large Gel units provide excellent cushioning, and the transition is smooth thanks to the well-spaced segmentation of the heel. The forefoot flex grooves have slightly wider spacing to improve the toe-off. The similarities are a story here, as well, as the responsive ride and great protection have been preserved and for that, we’re sure the fans of comfort and outstanding cushioning thank ASICS. “Every time I put them on, I felt the familar feel of a quality running shoe! Comfortable cushion, I like the cushion. Good feel in weight, not really light but very comfortable for training. I have been so impressed with the shoe that I am thinking of using them for Rock ‘n’ Roll this weekend.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to very mild overpronation • Sizes: Men 6–14,15,16 (D); 7–14,15,16 (2E,4E); Women 5–13 (B); 6–13 (AA,D) • Weight: Men 13.5 oz. (size 11); Women 11.2 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, Solyte Strobel board (heel)

ASICS Gel-Pulse

SOFT

$85

BEST VALUE

As the entry-end of a line that culminates in the Nimbus and Cumulus, the new Pulse has a lot to live up to. The SpEVA midsole demonstrates that there’s plenty of life left in this proven elastomer, and in the Pulse it’s ably assisted by a generous Gel pad, a combination that provides effective and responsive cushioning. The upper is wide open, breathable airmesh that has a comfortable, if not plush feel, and it’s roomy and flexible. The outersole is standard carbon rubber in the high-wear areas, blown rubber in the forefoot, with well-placed flex grooves to keep the ride smooth. The performance and very reasonable price of the Gel-Pulse earned it a tie for our Best Value award.

FALL 2009

“A great-fitting trainer. There are so many shoes that I have to be careful how I tie to make sure they feel good for longer runs. These feel comfy every time. The cushioning is good; the midsole compound is responsive. Just a little lighter than the average trainer. Overall, a very good shoe. Holds up well to day-after-day training.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to very mild overpronation • Sizes: Men 7–13,14,15,16; Women 5–13 • Weight: Men 12.5 oz. (size 11); Women 10.1 oz. • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, EVA Strobel board

New Balance 758

SOFT

$90

The 750 series continues to offer good performance at a reasonable price. The 758 follows the weight-savings trend by switching to the N-ergy elements in the new crashpad and changing from polyurethane to Abzorb innersoles. The midsole now feels more resilient and has a snappier response. The outersole has a sleeker heel, a better supported shank, and additional blown rubber in the forefoot, which add up to a smoother transition. The upper has the supportive feeling of an extended saddle since overlays have been added between the N-lock webbing and the metatarsals—the security is noticeable. Without veering too far from its lineage, the 758 is a significant overall improvement over the 757.

“Actually fit okay, but the arch was not quite in the right spot. Cushioning was quite good, and they were fairly stable for a cushioned shoe.

A good shoe, which surprised me since New Balance has not been quite right for me in the past. I may have to rethink things.”

Nike Air Pegasus+ 26

SOFT

$85

BEST VALUE

Updating the silver anniversary edition of the Pegasus was approached with care. The midsole and outersole have been retained intact. The resilient and protective cushioning provided by Cushlon and encapsulated Air has been little heralded, but we think it’s about as good a system as you’ll find. The ride is smooth and the cushioning is very good—fine-tuned between cushy and responsive. The upper sports a few changes, mostly shaving a bit off the overlays here and there, but somehow they found a way to reduce the weight of the shoe by more than 2%. The fit is unaffected; it’s still secure and effective with good toe room.

Maintaining the price, along with its performance and quality, earned the Air Pegasus+ 26 a tie for our Best Value award.

FALL 2009

“I found the fit was secure and comfortable. The cushioning was almost bouncy and seems very durable. With over 100 miles in them, they are still very comfortable. They have a light and bouncy feel to them. I have been very happy with them.”

Pearl Izumi Cruise

SOFT

$110

BEST SHOE

The Pearl Izumi running line has been missing a high-mileage, neutral trainer. Not anymore. Meet the new Cruise. The upper has a distinctive sublimated graphic and features the seamless construction that contributes to the unique feel of Pearl Izumi’s shoes. The midfoot gets good support from the webbing structure that extends from the eyelets into the midsole and the forefoot leaves room for the toes without feeling too loose. The midsole cushions effectively thanks to the solid Skydex hemispheres in the heel and the Skydex bag in the forefoot. The outersole features carbon rubber in the heel and high-wear areas of the forefoot and surrounds blown rubber inserts in the forefoot to add to the cushioning. The smooth ride, protective cushioning, and accommodating fit earned the Cruise our top honors in the Neutral category.

“They fit well, the lacing is different, but I liked the fit. They have a light sensation, even though they are pretty average weight for a trainer. The cushioning in the heel was really good, and the flexibility in the forefoot makes them roll well. I was surprised by how well they did for me.”

Puma Complete Velosis

$120

The Velosis is the first of two new models that lead Puma shoes in a new direction. Well, maybe not entirely new. Perhaps it’s more of a return to the original Complete series shoes. Built on a new comfort last, the shoes put a Puma spin on many of the industry’s best practices. The upper is breathable airmesh with a plush, but snug fit that runs about a half-size shorter than most shoes. The ankle and heel fit is enhanced by a memory foam collar and an external TPU heel counter. The midsole is cushy— partly due to the ld Cell Strobel board and Ortholite innersole—but it’s still fairly responsive. The outersole has well-placed flex grooves arranged in a radial pattern making the transition through the gait very smooth.

“Very comfortable to run in. Well padded everywhere; by far one of the more comfortable pairs of shoes I’ve had. Puma did something right when it came to the cushioning. I like the overall look and fit of the shoe.”

Recommended for: medium to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to very mild overpronation • Sizes: Men 6.5–14; Women 3.5–10.5 (sizing runs about a 1/2-size short) • Weight: Men 13.8 oz.

Reebok Premier Verona KFS II

$95

The Premier Verona KFS II looks sleeker than round one, but the improvements are more than skin deep. The upper features a stretchy airmesh not unlike the previous version, but the Kinetic Fit panel allows a better fit across the metatarsals, and the midfoot has better support from the Vector stripes. The midsole is responsive and has a lower profile. The crashpad is softer, as well as more effective, thanks to its articulation. The shank has been redesigned—it looks lighter and thinner though we can’t measure it to be certain—and now incorporates a strip of the outersole to lend some of the support. The flex grooves are more pronounced and the toespring makes the transition fairly energetic, which was applauded by some of our weartesters. Runners looking for responsive cushioning and an accommodating fit should be sure to try on a pair.

“Overall, a good training shoe that feels good on and looks good, as well. Pretty good cushion. Not really squishy, but absorbs shock well.”

adidas Supernova Sequence 2

$100

The Supernova Sequence 2 keeps its focus on fit, cushioning, and stability, with minor adjustments to dial-in the performance.

The upper shifts to a breathable, but more closely woven mesh with softer overlays in the toe, a stretchy “bunion window” in the women’s version, and more pliable tongue padding. The chassis is virtually unchanged with only the slightest lengthening of the medial Pro-Moderator support—a change that isn’t enough to alter the ride for most and might be an improvement for a few. With its stable, cushioned ride, the Supernova Sequence 2 is a quality high-mileage trainer.

“Surprisingly fast for such a well-cushioned trainer. Excelled in cushioning especially—on the highest level. Superbly smooth transfer of weight and energy from heel-strike to toe push-off. Good enough for road racing.” and “Great, snug fit, but still room for toes to wiggle.

Good cushion, but not a lot of bounce. Good, but not overwhelming stability; not as stiff as the earlier version.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with mild to moderate overpronation • Sizes: Men 6.5–13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20; Women 5–12 • Weight: Men 12.7 oz. (size 11); Women 11.1 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, adiPrene Strobel board

Brooks Trance 9

BEST SHOE Motion Stabilizing FA L

L 2009

$140

The Trance 9 telegraphs change. Up top, the fit is closer, the prominent saddle has been reduced to improve flexibility, and new overlays provide support without restriction. The midsole and outersole feature more pronounced segmenting of the lateral pods that improve flexibility and contribute to an overall weight reduction of 6%. The durable and responsive BioMoGo foam has proven that sustainability and performance are not incompatible. The well-cushioned ride provides supportive protection with a bit more responsiveness. A completely reworked Progressive Diagonal Rollbar, Brooks’ effective multi-density medial sidewall, improves stability. Enhanced cushioning, stability, and improved performance garnered the Brooks Trance 9 our award as the best shoe in the Motion Stabilizing category.

“The fit is snug. I haven’t developed any blisters or hot spots so far while running. The cushion is great, it’s bouncy and I don’t feel any sinking, squishy feelings. They have good stability and feel as if the shoes are part of your feet. They held up well and felt great.”

Mizuno Wave Alchemy 9

$110

The Wave Alchemy continues to provide reliable support, cushioning, and stability. The size of the stretchy Dynamic Fit insert has been increased to effectively follow the foot’s movements. Improved stretch in the breathable open forefoot mesh better accommodates the metatarsals and an Ortholite innersole adds an extra layer of cushioning. A synthetic leather strap shores up the rearfoot while allowing an overall reduction in overlays. The midsole has a lower-profile look and feel to it, along with a more pronounced toespring. The reconfigured outersole also amps up the performance, especially in the women’s model, by improving flexibility. The Wave plate is the more stable asymmetrical configuration which does an excellent job of providing a solid rearfoot feel. By deftly straddling stability and cushioning, the Wave Alchemy continues to exemplify versatility.

“Good comfortable fit; better in the heel. Nice amount of cushioning, the spongy insole adds quite a bit to the feel. The stability really keeps the foot lined up well, but it feels a bit hard in the heel. They did well for me overall; a good improvement over last year’s shoe.”

Saucony ProGrid Omni 8

BEST RENOVATION FALL 2009

$110

This update keeps the classic Saucony fit going for runners who need stability. The upper has the open airmesh of the Omni 7 but fewer obstructions over the toes, better ventilation, and reduced overlays that are strategically positioned for effective support. The innersole is still made of cushy polyurethane, but it’s now perforated to breathe better and molded for improved fit and better cushioning. The midsole is functionally the same, though the medial second-density is topped with a softer layer of ProGrid which feels better against the plantar fascia. The reshaped and lightened shank still provides the necessary structure.

The outersole looks different, but it’s the same effective combination of blown rubber in the forefoot and durable XT-900 carbon rubber in the heel. The overall feel, quality, and performance of the ProGrid Omni 8 earned it our Best Renovation award.

“Great comfortable fit, no pressure on my bunion. Good support, good stability, but also quite cushy. Got me through training for the San Francisco Marathon very solidly. I was quite satisfied with the upgraded feel, and think it is better than the previous version, which I also liked.”

Somnio Exact Change

$120

Somnio is a new brand that customizes the fit and function of its three models (Stability, Neutral, and Motion Control) with 12 interchangeable parts to match your foot shape and biomechanics. The Exact Change is its moderate motion-stabilizing model built on a semi-curved last. The upper is airmesh in the forefoot with tight mesh and overlays in the rearfoot. The dual-density CM-EVA midsole features chambers in the medial forefoot and lateral heel that can be filled with one of three densities of foam. The FEAT (Functionally Engineered Adaptable Tricomponent) system does its best work inside the shoe with three innersole choices that allow you to select more or less volume and cushion. Overpronation can be offset by choosing from three thicknesses of Varus wedges. Authorized running dealers (www.somniorunning.com/about-the-shoes/dealer-locator/) can measure and set up a runner in 5 to 10 minutes. So, how do the shoes run? Think high-quality training shoes adapted to you.

“Adaptable system made the fitting better than any shoe I’ve used. Was able to adapt the shoe to my foot—just right on the cushioning— instead of my foot to the shoe. Same with stability: a little was built in, the rest was up to me. Performed as well as any of my recent shoes.”

MODERATE

ASICS Gel-Evolution 5

$120

The best of the ASICS motion-stabilizing shoes, the Gel-Evolution 5 has an unchanged dual-density Solyte midsole that provides good cushioning, heavy-duty stability, and durable, effective traction. The upper has received a bit of refining. The fit is improved by shaving off a few millimeters of PHF ankle foam and slightly extending the BioMorphic Fit panels to enhance the comfortable feel. Performance has been enhanced by a 2% reduction in the overall weight—not big numbers, but definitely a move in the right direction. The shoe feels better balanced thanks to an update in the Gel cushioning elements. Bottom line?

Runners who expect ASICS’ best IGS performance will get comfortable fit, stability, and cushioning from the Evolution 5.

“The shoe fit well. There are no pressure points and no loose or sloppy areas that allow excess movement. These shoes continue to maintain their soft pillowy feel when first putting them on. From heel-strike, to load, and through the push-off, I feel secure in this shoe.”

Recommended for: low- to medium–high-arched feet with moderate to maximum overpronation • Sizes: Men 7–13,14,15,16,17 (D,2E); 8–13,14,15,16,17 (4E); Women 6–13 (B,D) • Weight: Men 14.4 oz.

New Balance 1225

$140

The 1225 features small but important fit changes. The medial forefoot has improved metatarsal shaping and the top lace eyelets now cinch down at a more comfortable angle to improve security and work effectively with the N-lock system to provide a better volume fit. The DTS crashpad is upgraded to N-ergy and the TS2 variable-density sidewall has been replaced by Stabilicore, a thermoplastic component that reduces overpronation as well as weight. In fact, this shoe is almost 4% lighter, a big change in a maximum motion-stabilizing shoe. The ride is more dynamic now that the elements interact better with your foot motion. Runners looking for support and stability will be pleased with the responsive ride and quality feel of the 1225.

“I really love the fit; snug around the arch and ankle with plenty of toe space. Great cushioning. They’re bouncy and feel great! I felt plenty of stability, and they had good traction whether running on trails or pavement. Especially comfortable and well-fitting from the first run.”

Recommended for: low- to medium-arched feet with moderate to maximum overpronation • Sizes: Men 7–13,14,15,16 (B,D,2E,4E); Women 6–12,13 (AA,B,D) • Weight: Men 13.7 oz. (size 11); Women 11.6 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, Abzorb Strobel board

adidas adiZero Aegis

BEST SHOE Performance FA L

L 2009

$110

The Aegis splits the difference between a racer and a trainer. Stability and running efficiency have been improved with a new very low-profile midsole. The upper is a thin airmesh with synthetic overlays providing support. The tongue is open only on the lateral side, with a webbing loop at the top of the medial side and an elastic band inside to secure the foot; the logo stripes provide additional support. The very low-profile midsole has a particularly responsive feel to it, and the ForMotion cassette and flat contour of the sole make for a noticeably smooth transition. Consider easing into the Aegis with shorter, periodic runs. The improved fitness and efficiency that develop as your muscles adapt make this small (and temporary) accommodation worthwhile. Its fit, light weight, and ride earned the adidas adiZero Aegis top honors as our best shoe in the Performance category.

“Great fit, roomy toe box, snug heel. Fairly neutral feeling...no wobble, good stability for something so light. Durable, no observable signs of wear at 75–100 miles. These are fast, light, awesome.”

Brooks Launch

$90

The Launch is Brooks’ new speed shoe and that’s clear right from the get-go. A thin, light airmesh is particularly well vented in the forefoot. The midsole is BioMoGo with Hydroflow in the heel and offers a nicely cushioned, flexible ride. For the über-efficient runner, the low-profile Launch may be used as a cushy daily trainer. Whether you race or train in it, nearly all neutral-footed runners will recognize its fast feeling. The outersole is durable HPR, Brooks’ carbon rubber formulation, with enough blown rubber in the forefoot to offer a bit more cushioning than is typical in a speed shoe. Runners looking for a fast, versatile, neutral shoe should consider the Launch.

“Great shoes! I like them light, and these were light and well cushioned. They are perfect for the track or tempo runs. I wore them for a half marathon and plan on using them for long races.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to very mild overpronation, for faster-paced running • Sizes: Men 8–13,14,15; Women 6–11,12 • Weight: Men 10.2 oz. (size 11); Women 8.3 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, S257 Strobel board

Brooks Ravenna

$100

The Ravenna is a new shoe from Brooks, but many will see a strong resemblance to its grandfather, the Axiom. The upper is airmesh with sparse overlays. A pair of elasticized eyelets across the instep improve the shoe’s ability to move as the foot moves. The interior has a smooth, comfortable feel. The BioMoGo midsole has a low but not a super-low profile, and features a small but effective second-density through the arch to provide support. True to its heritage, the Ravenna is stable, responsive, and light. Though not designed as a racer, we think it can be an excellent choice for longer races and is definitely suited to faster training. Many runners will find that it meets their daily running needs.

“Fit well, close and tightly around the middle of my foot (which I prefer). Well cushioned with decent stability, pretty light for this much shoe. Versatile enough for daily training even speedwork, like it says on the heel: a go-to shoe.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to mild overpronation, for faster-paced running and everyday training • Sizes: Men 8–13,14,15; Women 6–12 • Weight: Men 11.3 oz.

Mizuno Wave Precision 10

$95

When updating the award-winning Precision 9, the Precision 10 kept what worked in the mid- and outersole, while improving comfort and support up top. Retained are the plush interior of the heel and tongue. The airmesh is functionally the same, but the overlays have been consolidated, the Runbird logo is larger and takes on more supportive duties, and is now repositioned below the Dynamotion insert for a better fit. Down under, the midsole and outersole are indistinguishable from the Precision 9 and that’s a good thing, as it continues to provide a great blend of responsive cushioning and protection. The Precision 10 will satisfy runners looking for a durable, lightweight, neutral shoe, and Precision fans have an even better shoe to look forward to.

“With the roomy toe box, the cushion from heel to toe, and the flexible bee-hive (honeycomb), breathable fabric, these shoes kept my feet secure whether I was scrambling up a dirt hillside or pounding asphalt downhill. These have been my go-to shoes for any type of training.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics, for faster-paced running • Sizes: Men 7–13,14; Women 6–11 • Weight: Men 11.4 oz. (size 11); Women 9.5 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted

Newton Sir/Lady Isaac

$149

With the new Sir and Lady Isaac, Newton Running broadens the scope of its shoes by making the technology originally developed for forefoot strikers now available to heel strikers. This was done by modifying the Action/Reaction membrane so that it’s a little sturdier to accommodate the increased impact of heel strikers, and tapering the shape of the forefoot actuators just a bit.

Carbon rubber has solved the durability issues of the forefoot outersole seen in previous models. The upper features the quality, stretchy airmesh used in other Newton shoes, with good support provided via the well-placed overlays. This has added a little weight, though they are still among the lightest training shoes available. The midsole is well cushioned EVA shaped to encourage rolling onto the toes for take-off. Now heel strikers have a tool to improve their gait’s efficiency. (Men’s pictured.)

“Very comfortable fit, good room in the toes. Light shoe, but I wouldn’t say light like a racer. At first, I didn’t particularly enjoy running in this shoe, but the more I ran in it, the more I liked it and got used to the feel/ride of the shoe. Sometimes while running I felt as if the shoe helped with a quick turnover. Made me feel faster and as if I was helped being ‘moved along’ or ‘propelled forward.’ ” Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics, for faster-paced running • Sizes: Men 6–13,14,15; Women 5–11 • Weight: Men 11.3 oz.

Nike Lunar Glide

$100

This may be Nike’s most versatile shoe yet. The key to the Lunar shoes is the very resilient Lunar Lite foam which requires supportive containment in a firm Phylite shell. The new idea? Reshape the shell and the foam to work with the biomechanics of the foot. Basically, the firmer shell is thicker on the medial side to curb overpronation, while the inlay is thicker on the lateral side to cushion heelstrike and allow for lateral release. The upper is plush, breathable mesh with a saddle of Flywire and a premolded, external heel counter. The two-part midsole works for all runners whether they overpronate or not. Its flexibility and weight make the shoe ideal for faster running, but its stability and cushioning make it great for high mileage. Its resourceful approach, use of materials, adaptability, and reasonable price earned the Lunar Glide our Best New Shoe award.

“Super comfortable; snug fit; very smooth ride. Don’t ‘sink’ into cushion; good balance between feel of road and cushioning. Not crazy about how they pick up gravel: on one run 7 pieces got stuck in the grooves. Couldn’t really feel them through the cushion, though.”

BEST NEW SHOE FALL 2009

ATF_xcyearbook 09-2:ATF_XC 09 8/24/09 10:44 PM Page 62

Watching the Worlds Some random thoughts about the World championships in Berlin: • It looks like the United States is gradually re-establishing its position as a respectable middle-distance power. There were genuine U.S. World Championships contenders in both the men’s and women’s 800—imagine, four American women under two minutes this year!—and the 1,500, where all six Americans made the Worlds finals, with Bernard Lagat and Shannon Rowbury both winning bronze medals. In addition, Lagat took a silver in the men’s 5,000, and Jenny Barringer finished fifth in the women’s 3,000-meter steeplechase, knocking 10 seconds off her American record with a stunning 9:12.50 performance. Looking to the future, all but two of these athletes are in their twenties.

• The IAAF has passed a no-false-start rule—one false start and you’re out—which is on balance probably a good idea, and certainly is a good idea in terms of television presentation. But unless it figures out a way to deal with exactly what will be considered a false start, and gets starting equipment which really works (remember Jon Drummond in 2003?), there will still be controversy. The Seiko system said Jon and a young Asafa Powell moved, but as Jon lay there on the track in Paris saying, “I did not move,” the replay screen showed again and again that he indeed did not move. Fairness to the athlete should always be the first priority, even ahead of what television wants.

• The IAAF really should do also something about the “rounds” in the Worlds and the Olympics. There were two falls in three heats of the women’s 1,500 meters, and no wonder, with 14 runners in each heat. That’s just too many. It now seems that the semifinals in the 800, the 400 and the 400 hurdles are all too often run as three races with the first two in each to qualify along with the next two fastest. It works for the 400, but not the 400 hurdles and the 800, where the semi-finals become in effect, mini-finals, perhaps thrilling for the spectators but hardly the way to determine who the best runner in the field really is. In last year’s men’s Olympic 800 final, several of the best runners in the field went out in the semis, and the final was a snooze. Maybe more rounds are needed, or tighter standards; I’m not sure, but this really needs fixing.

• The IAAF’s streaming video, which as a stay-at-home I’ve been viewing on my computer via NBC Universal, is far superior to American television, with its limited time (and thus limited coverage) and constant commercial interruptions. The IAAF coverage is the closest to being there I’ve ever seen, and Peter Matthews’ witty, intelligent, knowledgeable commentary is unmatched (translation: he’s the best ever). Getting up at 3 a.m. to see the Berlin morning rounds nearly turned me into a zombie, but it was worth it.

Finally, Usain Bolt’s 9.58 and 19.19 world records for 100 and 200 meters should start every athlete, and every coach, thinking. Yes, there are limits—but maybe they’re not yet in sight…
