Dear RunMinnesota Readers, As we all are likely well aware, the world’s most iconic marathon, the Boston Marathon, sustained the worst tragedy in all the one hundred seventeen years of its running. Beginning in the tranquil, New England town of Hopkinton and ending on Boylston Street in downtown Boston, this race is a sea of humanity. Runners and spectators from around the world come to be part of the celebration. This is a Patriot’s Day tradition.

This tragedy strikes close to home, as I schooled in Boston and daily ran these very roads where these callous events occurred. And, I finally ran my first Boston Marathon during my final year of law school. And after schooling, nearly every year, I am found either running Boston, covering Boston for RunMinnesota or being a spectator.

But, although I was not at Boston this year, MDRA member and contributing writer Wayne Gilman was. And he writes a gripping, first-hand account of this event.

Chad Austin tells us the amazing story about the very prolific runner John Naslund. I’ve known John and have run with him occasionally over the last few years. However, I am unable to claim what John can: that he is the sole person who has run every Grandma’s Marathon, every Twin Cities Marathon and every Minneapolis Marathon.

And Candy Patrin has begun the first in a series of articles chronicling three runners. It is a sort of “reality show” look at their training for the Twin Cities Marathon right up to their post-race run of the marathon. We’ll be anxious to see how things turn out for these runners. In addition, there are other great articles in this issue you won’t want to miss.

I hope you enjoy reading this issue, and I look forward to hearing from you. Please let me know what you liked, what you didn’t and what you’d like to see in future issues. Send your comments to me at mark.syring@syringlaw.com.

REMEMBRANCES

Two Legendary Twin Ports Runners Lose their Battles with Cancer

BY EVE STEIN

MDRA encompasses runners throughout the entire state of Minnesota, and at the end of March, two legendary Twin Ports runners both lost their battles with cancer within an hour of each other. Eugene Curnow, 68, of Saginaw, and Kevin Peterson, 54, of Superior, lost battles with lung and pancreatic cancer, respectively.

Eugene Curnow, 1945-2013 After surviving a case of Lymes disease and Erlychthiosis a few years back, which landed Curnow in the hospital, and then a collapse at the end of the Minnesota Mile two years ago, which led to quadruple bypass, Curnow’s legendary running career was ultimately stifled by lung cancer.

Curnow, who was a long time member of MDRA, began his impressive distance running career and extraordinary contributions to the running community at the ripe old age of 39. Curnow said he got into competing in longer races after reading a poster about Grandma’s Marathon and thought, “Heck, I can do that.” And he did this every year thereafter in addition to 200 marathons and ultra marathons, including fourteen 100 mile races and only one DNF. Curnow was best known for his creation, race directing and course preparation of the exceedingly grueling Half Voyager for 16 years. The Half Voyager is a 25 mile race with a course that travels over challenging terrain from the zoo in Duluth to the city of Carlton.

Curnow’s dedication to maintaining the mountainous, tick filled, clay surfaced, rooty, rocky trail would humble those grumbling race directors who moan when they have to simply maintain a road course.

Curnow single handedly dragged a lawn mower and weed trimmer onto all the hilly single track sections of the 25 mile Voyager course to clear it.

With his cut off blue jean shorts and an encouraging smile, Curnow was also responsible for introducing hundreds to trail running and encouraging them to continue when it got too tough. He took over the coordinating and running of Northern Minnesota Track Club (NMTC) fall and spring trail series for 25 years.

Every week, Curnow marked the assorted courses all the way through the woods. He carried two heavy coolers of soda and some water into the woods so that runners could replenish after each tough race. And he timed and kept records.

Kevin Peterson, 1968-2013 Peterson’s saying was, “Life is good,” and he ran through much of his illness and fought back at the pancreatic cancer, living 20 months after his initial diagnosis. Peterson once told me this, “My goal is being the longest living person with this type of cancer or getting kicked out of a hospice because of non-performance.” Peterson said running was one thing that helped him get through this, because he used the mentality of long distance running by thinking.

Peterson, a lifelong Superior resident, had been part of Grandma’s Marathon since its inception in 1977. He was a member of the founding organization, the North Shore Striders, and ran in the inaugural race.

When the race went to a nonprofit status in 1987 and needed volunteers to help run the event, Peterson pitched in and continued to help. In 2011, he was the chairman of the 16 member board of directors.

Peterson was an elite master’s runner who finished Grandma’s Marathon seven times, had a marathon best of 2 hours, 36 minutes in

Miami in 1985, ran a Las Vegas half marathon in 1:10 in 1999 at age 40 and ran a mile in 4:40. His 5K ranged from 15:30 to 18:00, and his five mile PR was 24:52.

Throughout his almost two years with the cruel disease, Peterson continued to run races such as Fitger’s in April of 2012, the William A. Irvin in June of 2012, and he ran a sub seven mile in the Minnesota Mile last September. In addition, he continued to make appearances at local races as a participant, volunteer and spectator until late fall.

Both men contributed so much to the running community in different ways. Both were incredible role models that others will look up to for many years to come. For those of you MDRA members who have yet to experience “the power lines,” come on up. I’ll give you a tour anytime. Heck, bring a lawn mower and weed trimmer around early July, and we’ll put you to work.

Five “M’s” to Better Running A new system for running smarter, faster and injury free

BY SCOTT WELLE

R

unning is one of the simplest, yet most complex movements out there. On one hand, we’ve been doing it almost all our life. It’s ingrained. Instinctual. On the other hand, running can be difficult. Think about it: a four hour marathoner running at an average stride rate of 85 will have more than 40,000 foot strikes during the race. There is a lot happening, and small improvements can produce huge results.

This article outlines a simple framework I’ve created called Run M5. If you’re seeking to run smarter, faster or injury free, it will always break down into one of these five categories. Let’s get started.

Metabolics Metabolics is a runner’s training program and the specific workouts that make up the program. There are certain benefits that come from working out at different intensities.

Understanding these will not only allow you to emphasize quality over quantity, it will allow you to make progress and give you the best chance of staying injury free.

Metabolics also covers nutrition and hydration. It’s the “fuel” that goes into your car. Clean burning fuel allows you to maximize your miles per gallon and minimize the wear and tear on your car (body).

Tips for Metabolics • Separate hard and easy days.

Your easy days should be very easy and should allow your body to recover. Hard days must be hard enough to stress your body, in a good way, and make it faster.

7

• Build your training program around your “key workouts.” Getting faster comes from speed workouts. Stronger pacing comes from tempo runs. Endurance comes from longer runs. Make sure the key workouts are getting done every week.

• Try to drink 100 ounces of water each day. Yes, this may seem like a lot, but as little as one percent dehydration can have a corresponding two to three percent decrease in performance.

• You are what you eat, and garbage in equals garbage out.

Focus on a variety of high quality foods, eaten often, in small quantities, to fuel your training and racing.

Movements Movements is your ability to execute the most efficient, fundamental movements in the skill of running.

There are a couple of important

MAY/JUNE 2013

distinctions to make in this definition. First, there are certain basic fundamentals that go into running.

They are the building blocks of being able to run well. All good runners have mastered the basic fundamentals.

Second, it’s important to appreciate running as a skill. Improving your running is no different than improving any other skill, like playing the piano, for instance. It requires consistent practice. Practice makes perfect. Practice also makes permanent.

Tips for Movements • Relax your hands, arms and shoulders. Any excess tension in the running stride is wasted energy. The more relaxed you can keep your muscles, the faster and more natural your running will feel.

• Since your feet are the only point of contact between you and the

ground, the point of contact is very important. Strive to be a midfoot striker, and always be aware of which point on your foot is actually contacting the ground.

• Lean slightly forward, from the ankles. Do not hunch forward from the torso. When you do this, running should feel like controlled falling, where you’re simply being “pulled” in the direction in which you’re running.

Muscles Muscles is the area that deals with core conditioning and stabilization necessary to run well and stay injury free.

Muscles also centers on having a balanced body. It’s important to understand that the body will always break down at its weakest link. A balanced body is proportional left to right, front to back and top to bottom. By having this, you know you won’t be over using some

muscles and under using others, which will lead to faster running and decreased risk for injury.

Tips for Muscles • If you’re strength training, be sure to do exercises where you’re standing on one leg. Do you notice it’s easier on one side? If it is, try your best to correct the lesser side.

• Focus on training the entire core.

Crunches aren’t enough. It has to be front, back, sides and the inner core muscles too • Two good areas to focus on are the quadriceps (front of the legs) and the rhomboids (upper back). Quadriceps will help you absorb impact, especially when running downhill, and rhomboids will help maintain your upper body posture when you get tired.

Mobility Mobility is a key aspect to running correctly and efficiently. Limited range of motion will not only put more stress on your joints and connective tissues, it will make your running stride more rigid and less flowing.

There are also detriments to having too much flexibility, such as having less joint integrity (think of a stretched out rubber band). It may also compromise overall running economy. The sweet spot is the point where you’re flexible enough to produce your optimal running stride, but not so flexible that you become less economical.

Tips for Mobility • Dynamic mobility (moving through the full range of motion at a faster pace) is best done as part of a proper warm up, because it promotes blood flow and gets the body ready for the upcoming workout

Mentality Mentality is probably the most important, yet the most often over looked, aspect of running. A proper mentality puts you in the optimal mindset to perform your best in training and racing. Having the “mental edge” means you’re motivated, confident, focused, positive and relaxed. In racing, especially, the mentally strongest runner almost always wins.

Tips for Metabolics • Always remember the simple ACE principle: Attitude Controls Everything. Many times we cannot control what happens to us.

We can only control how we respond to it.

• Remove your pre-defined limitations. Until you do this you’ll almost always be capped by a ceiling that is lower than what you’re really capable of.

• When setting running goals, set the goals based on your previous performances. Resist the temptation to compare yourself to others. There will always be someone faster and someone slower.

Aside from the exercise and social aspects of running, I’ve found all runners want the same three things. First, they want to emphasize quality over quantity and make sure they’re training the smartest way possible. They don’t want to waste their time. Second, all runners want to get faster, whether they admit it or not, because with progress comes enhanced motivation and satisfaction. And third, they want to remain injury free. Nothing is worse than running in constant pain. It takes the joy out of one of life’s great pleasures.

Follow these tips, and you’ll be on your way to achieving all of the above. All the best to you.

• Static mobility (holding a stretch for a period of time, usually 30 seconds) is best done post run because it increases range of motion.

• Soft tissue work (such as foam rolling, the Stick, etc.) should also be done post run to help repair and rebuild the muscles and promote faster recovery.

GET TO KNOW

Unprecedented John Naslund and his unrivaled major Minnesota marathon streak

BY CHAD AUSTIN

I

n his house, there’s a framed St. Paul Pioneer Press story about his “streak.” No, he isn’t one of those people that has run every day for the last 40 some years. He’s not someone with a streak like running 52 marathons in 52 weeks. And I don’t believe he’s ever actually streaked while running.

This man’s streak simply refers to having run every Twin Cities Marathon and every Grandma’s Marathon. Sure, there are 32 people that have completed every TCM and there are still three people that have run every Grandma’s, but there is only one person that has run them all. John Naslund.

Oh yeah. I forgot to mention that the article was written in 1994.

Nineteen years later, the 62year-old Bloomington resident’s streak is still going strong. When you consider that in 2013, these two events are in their thirty-second and thirty-seventh year, respectively, you realize how impressive a feat that is.

And, just for good measure, when the Minneapolis Marathon started in 2009, John started a new streak, and he’s now run all four of those also. One of his mottos is, “You can’t run them all if you don’t run the first.”

But there’s more to Naslund than just the streak, and we have to turn back the clock 40 years, to the summer of 1973, to get to the beginning of his running career. The Two Harbors native was a member of the University of Minnesota, Duluth, track team. However, he was a

9

pole vaulter, not a runner.

After graduating, he began working more and working out less, and he started to gain weight. Naslund says he had two choices: buy new clothes to fit his expanding waistline or start exercising. Having done some easy runs with the distance runners on the track team, it was an easy decision for him.

That summer he began by running three quarters of a mile before stopping to regroup. Then he’d turn around and run three quarters of a mile home. By the fall, he had worked his way up to five mile runs. Soon after that, a friend mentioned that he needed to run the Boston Marathon. John said okay, but first he needed to qualify for the April race.

Given that there weren’t very many marathons in the country at the time, John decided to stick close to home and train for the Land O’ Lakes Marathon. This race was held in March and consisted of eight laps around Lake Calhoun.

In 1974, there was still ice on the lake, and race day was cold and blustery. Dressed in his best thermal underwear, Naslund battled the elements on his way to a 2:49 Boston qualifier. In the process, he was flung headfirst into the Running Boom.

Naslund’s streak of local marathons is impressive in and of itself. However, it’s even more impressive when you take into account the number of other events he ran during the 1980s, as well as the speed at which he ran them.

MAY/JUNE 2013

During that decade, he completed 80 races that were either marathons or ultra marathons, including several 100 mile races, a 24 hour race and even a snowshoe marathon. Think about it. This is eight such events per year for 10 years straight.

Next, consider that every year between 1974 and 1999, he ran at least one sub 2:50 marathon. That includes his 2:28 PR, which was run a mere six days after he ran a 2:32 marathon. Just thinking about his consistency, durability and speed boggles my mind.

Regarding his durability, Naslund says, “Shoes are cheap.

Doctor visits are not.” This philosophy leads him to replace his running shoes early and often, to help prevent injuries. And doctor visits.

Perhaps some of his infatuation for shoes dates back to the mid 70s when he co-owned the first running store in the area, Body ‘n Sole, with Garry Bjorklund and Mike Slack. While this store is no longer around, and Naslund has moved on to being a stock broker, he can often be found buying new shoes every couple hundred miles.

That’s not to say that he hasn’t had to battle injuries. When injuries rear their ugly head, John has been known to resort to walking/running 10 miles a day or two hours a day, whichever comes first. Doing this every day may sound a little excessive to most, but it’s a tactic that has helped Naslund keep his streak alive.

On more than one occasion, John has found himself battling injuries with a marathon fast ap-

proaching. When asked about his injury as race day draws near, he’ll simply say, “I have six hours.” This refers to the six hour time limit needed to be an official marathon finisher and, more importantly, keep his streak alive. When asked which marathon during the streak has been the hardest, the 62-yearold Bloomington resident replies, “The next one.”

I’ve been lucky enough to run with John on occasion for a number of years now. Someone with his history of running has a lot of great stories, and wisdom, that help pass the miles of our long runs. During one run, talk turns to the topic of competition over the years. John mentions that it’s typically the same people finishing near the top of his age group yearin and year-out.

However, every so often someone that started running later in life will come along and win.

Naslund jokes that their “fresh legs” give them an advantage.

When I mention that I should just retire until I’m 60 years old, so I can come back with my own set of fresh legs, he simply responds, “You only live once.”

With this comment, it’s obvious that Naslund would rather have a long career of tired legs, than fresh legs for a short period. And it’s at this point when I realize that while the streak is important, it’s more about running in general. For with those tired legs come 40 years of experiences that can’t be bought, but are earned. One step at a time.

ON THE RUN

Tragedy in Boston A first-hand account of the 2013 Boston Marathon

BY WAYNE GILMAN

A

fter training through a long Minnesota winter, my wife, Jenny, was ready to get on the plane, family in tow, and head to Boston to run the one hundred seventeenth Boston Marathon. She had qualified and had dreamed of running this iconic race. It was a rainy and dreary Friday as we flew into the New England area. The few days we spent in Boston were just as a runner would expect. Hotels, restaurants, shopping and sight seeing were excellent.

The expo had great stuff and eye catching attractions. Bill Rodgers was signing his new book, Marathon Man, at a nearby Barnes and Noble. Meb Keflezighi, Ryan Hall, Shalane Flanagan and Kara Goucher were at the expo signing autographs. With an arm full of running gear covered with Boston Marathon branding, we left content and ready for the race on Monday. The Boston community knows how to put on a marathon.

Jen was off riding the shuttle bus to the start early on Monday

11

morning. My two high school daughters and I took the “T” (subway) to the start of the race. We were plenty early so we could scout out the area. We shopped and ate before walking to the finish line.

Madeline (17) and Emma (15) were tired and a bit bored with the idea of standing and watching countless strangers run. We meandered up one side of the last mile and back down to the finish. With a race nearly three times bigger than the Twin Cities Marathon, the

MAY/JUNE 2013

logistics also accommodated a crowd that was three times bigger.

The shuttle bus system, drop bag areas and family meeting areas were massive. We found the spectators to be as interesting as the runners. As the top runners ran by, we would stop and cheer and clap. It took a long time to get back to the finish due to all the people. About 45 minutes earlier my daughters and I stood right where the bombs went off.

Our plan was to meet Jen in the family area in section “G.” We tried to find a spot near the finish to watch Jen come across the finish line, but it was too hard to see.

There were just too many bodies. I decided to move back to the family area and wait for Jen. Thank goodness we did that or our daughters would have been exposed to the horror that was about to occur.

The family area was packed with people trying to connect with loved ones. The noise and massive number of people led to sensory overload for the girls and me. We waited while I watched my phone for updates on Jen’s status. Jen

was expected to cross the finish line any moment since she was about four hours into the race.

Everyone heard explosion number one and seconds later a second somewhat smaller explosion. It was at this point our Boston Marathon took a turn making it different from any other marathon.

Thousands of people all around us fell silent. Everyone stopped talking. It was eerie. I didn’t initially assume it was a bomb. I rationalized to my daughters that it was possibly a collapse of a structure or problem with the subway.

We were about two blocks away from the point of the explosions.

The next minutes were a rising flood of panic and uncertainty.

The timing of Jen’s finish and the actual explosions were extremely close. The alerts on my phone said Jen had finished but I just couldn’t be sure where she was right then. Runners started arriving in the family area upset and in tears saying to family and friends that there were explosions and people were hurt and killed.

Madeline called Jen’s phone. While

Thousands of people all around us fell silent. Everyone stopped talking. It was eerie. I didn’t initially assume it was a bomb. I rationalized to my daughters that it was possibly a collapse of a structure or problem with the subway.

Injuries Slowing You Down?

there was a connection they couldn’t hear each other. Madeline hung up after a minute or so.

Emma was visibly upset and crying now. We just wanted Jen back so we could get out of this crazy situation. A guy standing by us helped me calm Emma and Madeline a bit. I tried to carry on a conversation with him, but it was just getting more and more chaotic.

A couple of young men came through shouting for the people to leave. They said there could be more bombs and we should get out of here. I told the girls to ignore them. “We don’t know if this is true,” I said. I wasn’t going to leave without Jen. Jen was eventually able to text a message to Emma so we knew that none of us were hurt.

Jen had finished three minutes ahead of the point of the explosion near the finish line. Her run, to that point, was just the way she imagined. The race course was challenging and the people were amazing. She turned and saw the smoke from the blast. The volunteers kept the runners moving through to the bag drop area and the family area.

Finally, Jen emerged out of the crowd. Crying, she fell into our arms. After a long hug we came up with a plan to follow a map and walk the few miles back to our hotel. Our adrenaline was pumping and I was on full alert for signs of danger and panic.

We walked arm-in-arm along a route I had on a tour bus map. It was a direct and safe route to walk directly away from the bomb site and to the Marriot Hotel. Street by street, the various shops and stores had TVs turned to the news as they watched the reports of this horrible tragedy.

We heard that they moved the family meeting area and the drop bag area. This must have been a major logistical undertaking. From the original 26,000 runners some 4,500 could not finish. Race officials stopped everyone on the course. I am not sure how they got all the runners back to the finish.

Finisher medals are going to be mailed out but many drop bags remain unclaimed.

At our hotel and surrounding restaurants, teams of state police armed with AR-15s patrolled the area. From the moment I knew Jen was okay, I started notifying family that we were safe. I put a message on Facebook to that effect as well.

We left Boston the next day as soon as possible. Delta Airlines out of Manchester treated our family extremely well. They knew Jen had run the marathon, because she wore her participant shirt on the way home.

This frightening end to a grand old marathon served to remind my family how important we are to each other. Words like “Boston Bomber” and “Pressure Cooker” now take on a different meaning for us. This close call will forever change us. Personally, I get more emotional about the safety of loved ones. Large groups cause me concern. I trust race officials will learn from this and increase public safety. Jen and I will continue to run marathons. We may even go back to run Boston Marathon again.

Reality Show The TCM

Follow three local runners from training to the ďŹ nish line

BY CANDY PATRIN

Hello spring. Pack away that balaclava, those insulated gloves and your subzero running tights. It’s time to take an inventory of your spring and summer running gear and get in those entries for any favorite races that you want to have on your calendar.

Three Minnesota runners, Tom Huberty, Kevin Rassier and Kate Williamson, have a couple of things in common besides a love of the sport. They all have the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon (TCM) on their 2013 running calendars. They will also be sharing their running history, training and TCM race experience with RunMinnesota readers.

Starting with this issue, through the annual TCM post-race recap, you will gain some insights into how the three runners train for and run the event.

Perhaps you will recognize the same challenges and preparation in your own running. Although the selection of Huberty, Rassier and Williamson to share their journey in this article was somewhat random, their stories are all inspirational.

The TCM Reality

Show

Tom Huberty AGE: 61 | MINNEAPOLIS

What would a Minnesota running reality show be without one of the TCM Charter Club members?

In August 2005, Huberty received a preliminary diagnosis of prostate cancer... He went through surgery in December 2005, one week following the Honolulu Marathon.

Tom Huberty has completed every TCM to date and has taken different approaches to what he refers to as its “survivability.” In recent years, Huberty has employed the Galloway run/walk method to keep him on a 12 to 13 minute per mile pace and under the six hour TCM cutoff. He plans to follow that routine this year as well.

Between now and October, Huberty will be busy as he keeps up with his consulting business work schedule and fits in his running. To kick off his training for TCM, Huberty has completed two April marathons: St. Louis, Missouri, and Eugene, Oregon.

Those events, plus the Air Force Marathon in September, will bring Huberty to 30 states towards his 50 states goal (plus the District of Columbia) and make TCM 2013 his one hundredth marathon. Huberty’s other training tactic is to follow Weight Watchers® and lose the pounds he has gained over the winter. “I am built for comfort, not for speed,” says Huberty.

Huberty started running in 1978 after his discharge from the Navy. In August of that year, his younger brother Terry died after being hit by a car in Hastings, Minnesota, while out on a training run. The next month, Huberty completed his first race as a memorial to his brother, and soon he was doing other events and longer distances.

At the 1979 MDRA annual meeting, Huberty met Doug Laird, who was organizing a new running group, the Minnehaha Marathoners. Club members were expected to set an objective to complete a marathon.

Huberty accomplished that goal in October 1979 at the City of Lakes Marathon with a time of 3:20. By then, Huberty was hooked on doing marathons, and he continued to add others to his running resume, including Grandma’s Marathon and the Black Hills Marathon, his first out of state event.

In 1982, Huberty entered the inaugural TCM because the schedule suited his training needs. He crossed the finish line with a 2:59:34. “I continued to run Grandma’s and TCM yearly for the next several years until I realized I had a 10 year streak at TCM, then a 15 year streak, etcetera,” says Huberty. Also, during that timeframe, Huberty did more marathons out of state, as well as the FANS 24 hour event in Minneapolis, where in 1993, he finished with 93.4 miles.

As the years ticked by, TCM became the “center point” of Huberty’s running, with his main objective being to keep the streak going. He even incorporated the marathon terminology into his management consulting business by writing a booklet, “26.2 Tips to Win Your Business Marathon.” Then the unexpected happened.

In August 2005, Huberty received a preliminary diagnosis of prostate cancer, which was confirmed when he had a biopsy the week after TCM. He went through surgery in December 2005, one week following the Honolulu Marathon. When it was determined that the cancer was still present, Huberty started hormone and radiation therapy. He had a total of 37 radiation treatments during October and November 2006.

In December, Huberty went on to finish the Dallas White Rock Marathon with a 5:58 by following the Galloway method. “I have been blessed to be cancer free so far for the past six years,” says Huberty.

Huberty plans to continue doing TCM as long as he can make the six hour time limit. He is grateful for the many friends, family and running partners he has known over the years, including the Minnehaha Marathoners.

“My wife, Elizabeth Watkins, has been very supportive and tolerant of my travel and my pre-race preparations,” says Huberty.

Watkins typically rides her bike to meet Huberty at the 15 mile mark and then continues along West River Road to Lake Street to see him again. She continues on to the finish, where Watkins waits for Huberty at the VIP area reserved for Charter Club guests. “She has watched me run the TCM since 1994, and she said a couple of years ago, humor twinkling her eyes, ‘You used to waste a Sunday morning, now you are starting to ruin the whole day,’” recounts Huberty.

Huberty has some instructions for Watkins to carry out, in what he hopes to be, a date far into the future. “Sprinkle some of my ashes on West River Road, two blocks from our home, where I put in most of my training miles, but spread the bulk of the ashes along Summit Avenue, because I die there every October,” says Huberty, jokingly.

The TCM Reality

Show

Kevin Rassier AGE: 54 | MAPLE GROVE Rassier still wants to make his Boston qualifier time, which requires solid training to finish under 3:30. In addition, due to his teaching schedule, Rassier must pick races that fall during breaks or three day weekends.

Like Huberty, Kevin Rassier wants to make TCM 2013 his one hundredth marathon, a goal that he set in 2009 after finishing a marathon in each of the 50 states. At that point, Rassier had already completed 79 marathons. To make his one hundredth marathon goal at TCM, Rassier has come up with a couple of scenarios to get in the few 26.2 milers that he needs before October.

To stay in marathon shape, Rassier runs from 40 to 50 miles per week. He gets in three to four runs of about six miles each during the week and leaves the long runs for the weekend. He will typically fit in two or three 20 milers before a doing a marathon.

“I truly enjoy doing the long training runs and often find myself looking for a marathon to run, because I’m trained for one, rather than signing up first and then doing the training,” says Rassier.

Rassier, who is a teacher by profession, started running in his 30s, primarily during the summer months. He would stop running once the school year started in the fall. Every October, Rassier’s brother, Dan, age 57, ran TCM. Rassier would bring his brother to the start and cheer him on during the race. Every year Dan would encourage Rassier to run TCM. In 1994, Rassier hatched an idea to surprise his brother and entered TCM, which he thought would be his one and only marathon. During that summer, Rassier’s brother was traveling in Europe, which made it easier to train for TCM while keeping it a secret from Dan. He finally told Dan about his entry the day before the marathon.

The brothers did not run together during that marathon, although Rassier recalls getting support from another runner as he was crossing the Franklin Avenue Bridge. Rassier had just entered that uncharted territory when you surpass your longest distance. “He [the other runner] just encouraged me saying that I looked great and to keep it up,” says Rassier.

Through the years, Rassier has gotten support from several family members, including another brother, Mike, who has helped with travel arrangements for several of his marathons. His wife, Etta, and children, Nicole and Paul, have also watched several of his marathons. “It is always great to see family and friends on the course during a marathon,” says Rassier.

Rassier put together a 10 year streak at TCM until he had to skip a few years when he was working on his 50 states. The 2013 TCM will be the fourteenth time he has run the event. “I can honestly say that of the different marathons I have done, TCM has been my favorite marathon to run,” says Rassier.

In the last few years, Rassier’s biggest challenge has been to limit the number of marathons that he runs. A couple of factors help him keep that desire in check. Rassier still wants to make his Boston qualifier time, which requires solid training to finish under 3:30. In addition, due to his teaching schedule, Rassier must pick races that fall during breaks or three day weekends.

Rassier thought about the marathon that would mark his centennial run. In the end, it was probably an easy decision for him. The race organization, spectators, runner support, beautiful course and spectacular view of the finish line coming down John Ireland Boulevard makes for a glorious day, according to Rassier.

“I had thought about which marathon I wanted to be my one hundredth marathon and considered Boston, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized I wanted to make my favorite marathon the one I run for my one hundredth,” says Rassier.

MAY/JUNE 2013

Kate Williamson

The TCM Reality

Show

AGE: 36 | MINNEAPOLIS

October will be a memorable month for Kate Williamson. Not only will she be running TCM, she is getting married a couple of weeks after the race. Her busy schedule is all the more reason for Williamson to stay focused and motivated in her training. To help her maintain her running schedule for TCM, she plans to do some of her training with other runners.

Williamson started running in 2001, mainly as a way to get in her two to three mile walks at a faster pace. She also looked at running as a way to improve her physical fitness. Williamson went to a 10K spring clinic at a local running store, where she met other runners and learned more about the sport, gear and nutrition. She finished the 10K, which led to the TC 10 Miler and then her first marathon at TCM in 2004.

Williamson is an elementary school music teacher and also a yoga instructor. She uses a lot of yoga in her training and says that the discipline helps to build strength and develop muscles that are underused in running.

Williamson currently gets in a few short runs during the week with a mid-distance run on the weekend. Sometimes she will run solo, and other times she meets friends, using the time to catch up with their lives. “Along the way, I have made many connections through running,” says Williamson. “In fact, three of my bridesmaids are some of my favorite running and/or yoga partners.”

Although Williamson has not faced any major injuries during her running career, she knows what it is like to be forced to take time off from the sport. In December 2008, Williamson donated a kidney anonymously. A few days afterwards, she got on the treadmill to walk for 20 minutes or the distance of about one quarter mile.

It was a humbling experience to go from running several days a week to facing a long, slow recovery. Ten months after the surgery, Williamson did the Nike Women’s San Francisco Marathon with some of her friends.

“To this day, when I am having a tough run, I try to be grateful that I have a body that allows me to run and know that there are many people in the world that are not able to run for whatever reason,” says Williamson.

There are a couple of reasons that Williamson enjoys doing TCM, and she is quick to recommend it to friends.

At the top of her list is being able to sleep in your own bed and see friends throughout the course. There is also the beauty of the course itself and the various entertainers along the route to help keep your interest. Plus, the downhill finish to the capitol is hard to beat, according to Williamson.

In addition to the San Francisco Marathon and several TCMs, Williamson also has done Grandma’s Marathon and the Rochester Med City Marathon, where she put in a little more than 26.2 miles. Part of the Rochester course was on a trail. Williamson said she ended up getting lost and was forced to back track.

Williamson has thought more than once after finishing a marathon that it would be her last at that distance.

However, when spring shows itself, Williamson says that she has a change of heart. She reminds herself that to finish a marathon is amazing, and there is the tendency of runners to get focused on a certain pace or time, when just crossing the finish is cause for celebration.

Williamson can be reflective about her running. She says that it is more about the journey of what it takes to run instead of crossing the finish line. “Some days the journey is easy and clear, other days you get lost on the path and little things seem hard,” says Williamson. “You fall down and get back up.”

“Some days the journey is easy and clear, other days you get lost on the path and little things seem hard,” says Williamson. “You fall down and get back up.”

Preview: The TCM Reality Show: Episode II A look at the runners’ progress to date Here are some of the updates in the next RunMinnesota issue. What will the training conditions be for these runners? Will Huberty find success with his diet and training plans? Can Rassier get in the marathons he needs to reach the 100 goal at TCM? Has Williamson been able to balance her training and wedding plans?

to their peers or using the aforementioned age graded calculator for comparison. Others continue to set goals for themselves.

Sharon Stubler’s goal is to run a marathon in every state, and Jess Koski has a goal of running sub three hour marathons in every five year age group since his teens. He’s done it eight times so far and hopes to make it 10. Bruce Mortenson’s goals are about going the distance.

The 69-year-old says, “Heck, it’s the only thing I’ve been good at my whole life. I want to see how long I can keep at it.”

But, Bonnie Sons does a great job of summing up what’s really important to these runners: the love of the sport, the experiences along the way and the health benefits. She says, “I love to run. For me, times and places are not what is important. Don’t get me wrong. I’m as competitive as the next person toeing the line, but when the race is over, it’s over. It’s the people you meet, the experiences along the way and the goal of staying healthy that keep me running and racing.”

I doubt Bob Dylan was thinking about Masters runners when he penned, “The Times They Are A–Changing,” but that’s what comes to mind when I think about the last verse:

The line it is drawn The curse it is cast The slow one now Will later be fast As the present now Will later be past The order is rapidly fadin’ And the first one now will later be last For the times they are a-changin’ No, I wouldn’t call turning 40 a curse, but the times, and the body, are definitely changing. The good news is that these Masters runners have adapted as they’ve grown older and, more importantly, their love of running is as strong as ever. And in the end, that’s really what this sport is all about.

Facebook has been linked to the twitter account. Heidi plans a monthly contest for best running photo of the month.

New member registration is down, as are renewals; this is typical for February. Additionally, we are still waiting to receive new memberships resulting from the 2013 Explore Challenge. Since membership hit its recent peak in October 2012 (2,517), it has fallen into a downward trend. New memberships are holding, so the larger issue is the significant number of non-renewals. Several strategies to address this attrition were discussed. First course of action will be an additional email reminder delivered ~45-60 days prior to month of expiration, followed by the normal USPO mail reminder ~30 days prior to expiration, and then an email from the President the month following expiration for those still not renewed.

RunMinnesota: The March/April issue of Run Minnesota will be out by the end of march. This issue tends to be the biggest of the year in terms of ad revenue and pages.

COMMITTEE REPORTS Club Administration: By laws approved. Darrell Christensen has been appointed to a 1 year term on the board as past president Programs: Sheila Becker, Natan Campeau, and Kevin Ross will be coaching the spring marathon class.

Polar Bears have been well attended this winter. There was discussion on how to keep the group running. Ideas were “Around Town Runs” on Sunday or “MDRA Sunday Fun day Run”. Polar Bears and TCM had a successful group run. Hosting these runs monthly with different stores and groups will help us brand ourselves.

Promotions: Opening MDRA class 20 mile runs to all runners for a small charge was suggested. Jim Delaplain suggested the MDRA membership forms could include a waiver sign off for any run.

USATF: The USATF Minnesota Award Celebration will again be held at Braemar Country Club in Edina on Saturday February 23, 2013 starting at 6PM. The event is free to USATF Minnesota members. Cash bar will be available. Congratulations to Amanda Smock (women’s open), Kathy Haubrich (women’s masters), Hassan Mead (men’s open) and Sherwood Sagedahl (men’s masters) on being named the 2012 USA Track and Field Athletes of the year for their age divisions. There is going to be a USA Track and Field Coaching Education Level 1 School at Stillwater High School on Monday, June 24 and Tuesday, June 25, 2013.

New Business: No new business Old Business: No old business

RunMinnesota: The March issue should be on the street by March 20.

Volunteers: Contact Heidi Miler at hmiler@hotmail.com with questions. All of the following races provide MDRA members (and their friends and family) the chance to experience the other side of racing.

COMMITTEE REPORTS Promotions: MDRA is looking ahead to Grandma’s Marathon Expo, for which we will unveil several new bumper stickers. A Facebook contest for sticker slogans is planned for April.

A new RunMDRA promotion kicks off this month. Any member who runs all MDRA races will be awarded a spectacularly cool tech shirt. Details to follow.

Programs: The MDRA Spring Marathon Program is off to a strong start with approximately 60 registrants and growing.

The new Sunday Mass runs have started. These unsupported group runs, similar to the Polar Bear group, meet every Sunday morning at 8 am at the Calhoun Executive Center where there is ample, free parking. The group is expected to continue running throughout the summer.

Gloria Jansen is coaching two running classes - Speed and Beginning Running - in the White Bear area.

Race: The MDRA Mississippi 10 Miler has a new course this year. The start and finish will take place at the picnic shelter in Crosby Regional Park. The course will include park paths in addition to the Shepard Road running path.

USATF: The MDRA grand masters women's USATF team, captained by MDRA member Kathy Benhardus, earned the third place podium spot for the 2012 race year.

Congratulations to all racers!

RUNNING INSIGHTS

Learning from the Masters The best talk about training and racing after 40

BY CHAD AUSTIN

T

hey say there are two certainties in life: death and taxes. Of course, runners know that there’s a third certainty: the inevitable slowing of our running. Oh, you don’t realize this right away. In fact, when you’re young, you think it’ll never happen to you. Then, when you’re old, you think it’s happening only to you.

At some point, it happens to everyone, and now that I’m in my 40s, it’s happening to me. Just to make sure I’m “normal,” I decided to seek out some of the best Masters runners in the area to see what they experienced as they aged when it comes to performance, injuries, training and motivation.

Performance The first thing that I noticed when talking with these Masters runners is that they seem to fall into one of three categories: (1) those that have been running “forever,” (2) those that started running later in life or (3) those that stopped running after high school or college and then re-joined the running ranks years later.

When it comes to performance, the general consensus among the first category is that it gradually drops off over time, rather than experiencing substantial drop offs all at once. This assumes your running is receiving the same level of commitment year after year.

If extenuating circumstances arise, such as long term injuries or a shift in priorities, your performances are going to drop off at a

much faster rate. This was the case with Kelly Keeler-Ramacier. At age 42, she experienced an injury that took nearly two years to recover from. Then at 45, she became a stepmother, and her priorities shifted dramatically. She says, “Running was not my main focus anymore.”

If you fall into the second or third category, having started, or re-started, running later in life, the good news is that you are more likely to continue improving your times. Gloria Jansen is Minnesota’s most decorated female runner, having won 18 Runner of the Year titles. She didn’t start running until her mid 40s, and her times continued to improve until she was 50.

More recently, Lance Elliott returned to running after a 15 year hiatus following college. Not only has the former 4:04 miler continued to improve over the last two years, setting state age records for the mile, but he’s also found himself competing against the best Masters runners in the nation.

It may be hard to compare our performances to people like Gloria and Lance. Luckily, the World Association of Veteran Athletes created an age graded calculator that allows you to adjust your performance to what it theoretically would have been during your prime running years. The calculator also allows you to judge your performance, using achievement percentile, without bias for gender or the aging process. Simply search the internet for “WAVA age graded calculators” to learn more.

Injuries and Training Injuries and training go hand-inhand for runners of any age. But, how do these things change once you become a Master? Surprisingly, no one really mentioned having to deal with injuries more frequently since turning 40.

Perhaps this is because they all seemed to talk about listening to their body and taking time off immediately when injuries rear their ugly head. As Gregg Robertson said, “It sounds easy, but you have to listen to your body. When it’s hinting that I’m lacking something, I take care of it. That has helped keep injuries to a minimum.”

Not only do they listen to their body when it comes to injury, but also when it comes to recovery.

Even if they are running fewer miles per week than they did in their prime, these athletes know it’s all about the recovery. Kelly Mortenson strives for two recovery days after his long runs and hard sessions.

He says, “When I was younger I never thought much about my recovery days, but now I take it super easy on my off days.” Keep in mind that “super easy” can mean slowing down the pace of your recovery runs or it can mean a complete day of rest.

As stated earlier, listening to

your body sounds easy, but it’s not. During Keeler-Ramacier’s setback, she struggled with figuring out the training that would allow her to get back to running and racing. She states, “It took many months to figure out what I could do consistently without having any setbacks. It was a very frustrating time for me.” This experimentation led her to cut her weekly mileage nearly in half and reduce hard workouts to one per week.

Many of these Masters runners have scaled back their weekly mileage, but this doesn’t mean they’ve decreased their overall training load. They’ve simply added other ancillary training to help stay in shape.

Keeler-Ramacier has added time on the elliptical machine in order to maintain aerobic fitness without the pounding. Other popular choices among the group are yoga and strength training as many mentioned their lack of flexibility and the loss in strength as they age.

Motivation Seeing these runner’s names at the top of their age group year after year makes me wonder how they stay motivated. Some use “tricks” like simply comparing themselves
