Runner's World June 2016의 목차

1969 1974 1980 1987 1993 WE’VE NOTICED something familiar about shoe and apparel trends this year, and we’re sure you have, too. Everything that was old in running fashion is new again. Sure, the fabrics have changed, but the designs have come full circle. There’s an influx of items that once graced the track but are now made for the runway. We’re pleased these retro looks are in the mainstream, but we know one thing for sure: They still look best on runners in action on tracks, trails, and roads around town. TRACK CHIC ● 1960s Fifty years ago, all you needed to run (besides shoes) was a singlet and shorts. Indeed, every issue of our predecessor Distance Running News shows runners thus attired. Terry Harrison’s simple kit (shown above…

36, BELMONT, MASSACHUSETTS In January, Pizzi became the first American woman to complete the World Marathon Challenge (WMC)—running a marathon on all seven continents in just seven days. Pizzi’s 23,000 miles of air travel took her from a chilly start in Antarctica to a hot finish in Australia. In a challenge some would call crazy, Pizzi saw opportunity. “I thought, this is my chance to make history,” says the ice-cream shop manager and mom who recruited three sponsors to cover her travel costs (totaling $36,000). “This is my chance to inspire as many people as I can and represent my country.” TWENTY-SEVEN TOTAL HOURS SPENT RUNNING DURING THE WMC –4°F Temperature in Antarctica at the start 2 MILE AT WHICH SHE TORE HER GROIN, IN DUBAI (NO. 6). “I WAS…

Married to a runner? Share your story of wedded bliss (or woe) on Twitter using #RWHitched My wife and I do it once or twice a week. Maybe that doesn’t sound like much. But it’s more than we used to do it, which was almost never—and, honestly, it’s about as often as our busy schedules allow. With two small kids, it’s tough. Lucky for us, we both work from home, so we can sneak off in the middle of a weekday and no one’s around to wonder how we got so flushed and sweaty. ¶ We haven’t always run together. In fact, for most of our eight-year relationship I did my own thing—running with colleagues, training for marathons, and so on—while Sarah did hers, heading out a few times a…

ZAC MARION BEFORE 240 LB. (ABOVE) TODAY 150 LB. (BELOW, IN UTAH) As a high school football player, Zac Marion was fast, though he didn’t run very far. The defensive lineman never ran more than 10 yards at a time. Injuries put him on the sidelines in college, and then after graduating, he took a desk job as a sales rep. But he ate as if he were still active. “At work, I constantly snacked on treats,” he says. “And I’d go out on weekends and overeat.” By 2009, Marion was 240 pounds—not obese for someone 6 feet tall, but still, he didn’t feel healthy. “I remember carrying groceries up two flights of stairs, and I was completely out of breath,” he says. “I needed a change.” Marion started jogging…

GET FIT, EAT SMART, RUN STRONG “Running today?” Nearly every morning at Runner’s World, emails fly among staffers coordinating lunchtime workouts. Town loop for an easy five? Off-road at South Mountain Preserve? Maybe 10th Street hills? Or if it’s Wednesday, we have the option of doing intervals, coached by Budd Coates, a four-time Olympic Marathon Trials qualifier and the senior director of employee fitness at Rodale (RW’s corporate parent). Pushing the pace together once a week keeps us honest and motivated. Those who often come out include (from top) Meghan Kita, Robert Reese, Erin Benner, Brian Dalek, Jeff Dengate, and Heather Irvine. And yes, we do realize how lucky we are. For more on the history of interval workouts, see page 46.…

TRAINING ADVICE FOR PEAK PERFORMANCE Most training plans suggest mixing runs of various lengths and speeds, with a shift in focus—from endurance to speed, typically—as you get closer to a goal race. This approach, “periodization,” is the subject of an ongoing study by Stephen Seiler, a researcher at the University of Agder and the Norwegian Olympic Federation. Last fall, he presented initial results comparing three different styles of periodization for endurance athletes. ENDURANCE TO SPEED The best results in Seiler’s study, albeit by a narrow margin, came from the traditional endurance-tospeed periodization. The cyclists in the study started by mixing long workouts (4 × 16:00) into their training; then four weeks of medium workouts (4 × 8:00); then four weeks of shorter, faster workouts (4 × 4:00). They were told…

On days when I play tennis or basketball, should I skip my run? If you’re just hitting the tennis ball around or shooting easy hoops, go ahead and run. Skip the miles, however, if you’re playing three sets of competitive singles or a full-court basketball game. Any time you spend an hour on a fast-paced, stop-and-go activity, avoid hard runs for a day or two. Your muscles will be tired and your tendons tight, and pushing could cause injury. —Tom Clifford, a USATF-certified coach in Wilmington, NC, is founder of Without Limits (iamwithoutlimits.com). As a road runner, how should I start training for my first trail race? Run off-road at least twice a week: Your body needs time to adapt to the uneven surfaces and (usually) hillier terrain of trails.…

NUTRITION ADVICE FOR HEALTHY, HUNGRY RUNNERS RELAY RACES (like Ragnar) that go all day and into the night and into the next day make fueling challenging. Start the race well rested, hydrated, and fed, and follow this sample meal plan, which assumes you’ll cover 21-ish miles over 24-plus hours. 6:00 AM PRE 1ST LEG: 10 MI. 2 hours before your 8 a.m. run, eat ¾ cup of plain yogurt or ½ cup of cottage cheese with ¼ cup of granola and a banana. • Adding protein will help sustain your energy. DURING 1ST LEG For runs 60-plus minutes, take in about 30 g of carbs every 30 to 45 minutes. Halfway through, consume 1 gel and ½ cup of sports drink. Avoid high-fat foods, which take longer to digest and…

RESERVED for national security, GPS now fulfills our most personal training goals: Better pacing! Smarter coaching! More convincing humble-brags! The best devices on the market today bundle satellite tracking with other high-tech features, like heart-rate monitors and Bluetooth audio for instant feedback on roads, and barometric altimeters to deliver accurate elevation readings on mountainous trails. These smart timekeepers will fit your running needs, whether you’re looking for a simple nudge in the right direction or an avalanche of data after every run. BEST FOR MULTITASKERS MOTOROLA MOTO 360 SPORT, $300 Call it overkill, but we enjoyed the computer-like capabilities of the Moto 360. For instance, thanks to built-in wifi, we were able to set work reminders while walking back from the shower by simply speaking into the watch face, leaving…

Ninja Race We had 350 RSVPs for this nighttime event, which was an eight-mile out-and-back race with 20 burpees at the turnaround in January 2013. Temps dipped below 14 degrees. Many assumed the race would be called off. But those who were close to the NP movement knew the terrible weather was a gift. Runners dressed in head-to-toe black, and ice formed on the eyelashes of many and seemed to freeze zippers and hands, making the process of thawing out at the after-party something to see. Scene Be Seen Another night-racing event, in November 2013, in which the theme was bright, blinking, neon, glowing, and visually stunning. It would bring racers around two loops of Pleasure Bay in South Boston, creating a five-miler—or was it a 5K? It really doesn’t…

IN MARCH, I was among hundreds of journalists from around the world who attended a Nike running summit in New York City called Innovation for EveryBody. I’ve been to lots of press events over the years, but this was on another level: an arena-sized setting, pulsing lights and music, SRO crowd replete with celebrities like Kevin Hart and track star Allyson Felix. Then there was the array of products the company unveiled: a self-lacing shoe designed by the legendary Tinker Hatfield; a preview of the VaporMax, the next generation of NikeAir technology; and the Zoom Superfly Flyknit track spikes designed for Felix’s distinctive biomechanics (she’ll wear them in the Olympics this summer). There were also new soccer cleats, basketball shoes, lines of performance apparel, and upgrades to the Nike+ app.…

NEWS, TRENDS, and REGULAR RUNNERS doing AMAZING THINGS When Matthew “Mars” Green turned 26, he threw himself a birthday party and invited his closest friends—and anyone else who’d like to run. “I wanted to do something different than go out to the club,” says Green, a graphic designer who lives in Washington, D.C. “So I thought, How about I host a midnight run?” Via social media and word of mouth, Green and his buddies encouraged people to join him for his free Midnight on Mars 5K on May 24, 2013. They marked the route with glow-in-the-dark chalk and coordinated a postrun toast at a local bar. About 100 runners showed up for the celebratory sweat fest. “A lot of people who came out said, ‘I’m not a runner, I just…

The four-time Olympian was named 2015’s USATF Masters Athlete of the Year after taking down seven masters world records, in distances ranging from the 1500 to the 10K. In July at the U.S. Olympic Track Trials, he’ll aim to make his fifth Olympic team. 41, TUCSON, ARIZONA IT’S JUST A NUMBER... “I’ve thought a little about the fact that I’m 41. But I haven’t felt like it’s slowed me down.” …EXCEPT WHEN IT ISN’T “When I’m playing with my kids, they want to be on their knees all the time, crawling around, and after a while I’m like, ‘Okay, I’ve gotta stand up and stretch my back.’ I’m like, ‘Where is this coming from?’” HOMESICK “The kids are in school and can’t travel with me as much. I miss out…

For New York Times bestselling author Kimberly McCreight, running and writing go well together. “Many of the lessons I’ve learned from running—how to develop endurance, the importance of having faith in the process, and the necessity of learning patience with yourself—I apply in my writing,” says McCreight, whose acclaimed Reconstructing Amelia will be adapted into an HBO film produced by Nicole Kidman. McCreight, a mother of two who logs her miles early in Brooklyn, ran the New York City Marathon in 1998 and in 2015. Her latest work, The Outliers, the first in a teen trilogy, hits bookstores in May; its film rights have been acquired by Lionsgate. Here, McCreight picks young-adult characters whose company she’d appreciate on the road. SEEKING A VENT SESSION RUN BUDDY Holden Caulfield from The…

Catch up with our Newbie! Join a #ChatRW Twitter chat in May. Check out @RunnersWorld for more info. Once, on a winter afternoon in 2014—during the era when I first tried and ultimately failed to become a runner—a magical thing happened. I was on a straightaway on the track in Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx when, having persevered through my exhaustion and chill and the sensation of falling forward, I forgot myself and spaced out to the music in my earbuds. Near that frantic end of “Message in a Bottle,” by The Police—“Sending out an SOS, sending out an SOS, I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my”—I stopped feeling my body. I was freed from the world and its petty tethers. ¶ This Magical…

ESPRESSO ALMOND SMOOTHIE GO THE EXTRA MILE Almonds, in any form, can help propel your distance workout. BLEND 1 sliced frozen banana with 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 2 Tbsp. cooled espresso, 1 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 Tbsp. almond butter. Makes 1 cup. CHERRY CHOCOLATE BOWL STAY HEALTHY Vitamin C–rich cherries get their dark red color from disease-fighting antioxidants.

ON OCTOBER 30, 2011, we sat at a bar in Boston and made a fitness pact. We pledged to show up every morning at 6:30 to run the river, hills, or the steps of Harvard Stadium. We wanted to stay fit over the winter. But we didn’t want to go to a gym. We didn’t want to pay to get fit. This was about accountability, a core ethic. We needed someone to make sure we’d show up. Our first workout—a six-miler with snow spitting in our faces— was two days later on November 1. We created a Google doc where we posted our times and tracked our improvements and named it November Project. It became addictive. After six months of logging miles and eating up stadium steps, we began hyping…

FULL FRONTALS Running Full Frontal hills is the least exciting, most boring workout in our repertoire. Yet for the first few months, that’s all we did. And we loved it. The workout originated from our rowing days at Northeastern University, where Coach Pojednic would pile the 40-plus person roster into vans, drive to the hill, and have that same roster race each other all-out up the hill, until he said to stop. There was never “We’re doing six repeats,” or “You have three more to go.” The only time we knew we were almost done was when he said, “This is the last one.” And even then we weren’t 100 percent sure. It was straight-up brutal. Every. Time. Whoever dreamed up the acronym K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid) definitely had…

Mile Marker 0 (southbound) 1) Will Rogers State Beach The nearly two-milelong beach has free parking and restrooms (and, fun fact, was the original location for Baywatch). Mile Marker .4 2) Temescal Canyon Road More free parking here. Plus, killer cross-training on the Temescal Canyon Loop hiking trail just across the highway. Mile Marker 2.2 3) Palisades Park The tree-filled park sits atop coastal sandstone bluffs. Restrooms here. Mile Marker 3.2 4) Santa Monica Pier Hang a right here and hit up the Ferris wheel, then head to the end of the pier for a photo of the famous Route 66 sign. Mile Marker 5.7 5) Venice Beach Expect to run past street vendors, performers, and sweaty displays on Muscle Beach and the outdoor basketball courts (as seen in White…

As I stood on the starting line of the Safaricom Marathon and Half, the African savanna stretching out before me in the early morning light, I saw a helicopter repeatedly rising then swooping down low beyond distant acacia trees. After a few minutes the chopper flew off, and the race starter announced: “Sorry for the delay—the helicopters were having trouble moving a trio of hyenas, but the course is now clear.” The course he was referring to was a 13-mile loop through the dry grasslands of the Lewa Conservancy, a 61,000-acre wildlife sanctuary in northern Kenya that’s home to lions, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, and hyenas. Such residents were why we racers not only had air support, but the company of armed rangers stationed along our rolling dirt route. Close proximity…

THE INBOX THANKS, MILES I got great advice from Ask Miles (april) on what to do when a funeral procession appears during a run. the other day, one came my way; i stopped and took off my hat, and the policeman leading the motorcade called out, “thank you, sir.” it was a good moment to remember there’s more to life than myself and my runs. GEOFF HOLMES, DAYTON, OHIO BARE TRUTH In regards to “naked raced the strangers” (May), it’s a sad day when i feel i can’t take my 8-year-old daughter to what should be a fun event. if people want to run around naked, they should go to a nudist beach. ROBERT SEDLAR, VIA EMAIL LASTING IMPRESSION After reading “a rungry crowd” (Human Race, august 2015), i pitched…

Stephan Shay runs through this issue’s HR logo. Stephan Shay is in the driver’s seat. Reclining, actually. He’s behind the wheel of a 19- foot RV that he lovingly and obsessively restored. He calls it Lolita—the name painted on the back of the van when he got it. “It was kind of classy,” he says and laughs. Shay, 30, bought his 1966 Clark Cortez for $5,100 in 2014 and gutted the shag-carpeted interior. Now there is a lustrous wood-laminate floor, a customupholstered couch, and refinished cabinets. He offered RW a tour while parked in Huntington Beach, California, a few weeks after the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials. On that sweltering February Saturday in Los Angeles, Shay ran 2:23:46, good enough for 34th. “I intentionally didn’t push it in the first half,”…

WELL FED “Gladys, my wife, is a registered dietitian. We eat well and mostly cook at home. When I’m home, we eat something different almost daily—always lots of vegetables. One of my favorite meals is her baked pasta with salmon or chicken. Oh, man, it’s like you’re in Sicily.” HIS ORDER “If we’re eating out, it’s sushi or a good steak.” DRINK UP “We have a juicer and use it a lot. Freshsqueezed juice makes you feel healthier immediately. Even mentally you’re just like, ‘Yes, I just feel better now.’”…

I like to light up a cigar at mile 12 of my half marathons and smoke as I finish. Sometimes people yell at me. I’ve never read a policy against this; don’t I have a right? —George S., Dallas George, the contrarian part of me chuckles at this and applauds your spirit. The ordinary human being part of me, however, says, “You’ve got to be joking.” A right to smoke a cigar? In a road race? Sorry, no. To paraphrase the old saying, your right to smoke a cigar during a half marathon ends where my nose begins. As for the lack of a policy against this: I’m guessing most races don’t explicitly prohibit spitting in your fellow runners’ faces, either. Doesn’t mean it’s okay to do it. Save the cigar…

TIPS FOR BEGINNERS FROM AN EASYGOING COACH It can be intimidating to step off the treadmill and into the unpredictable world. Inside the gym, you’ll find like-minded people who value exercise as much as you do. Outside you get fresh air, natural beauty—and occasionally a less-than-positive interaction with folks (or critters) who are not as cheerful as you. Here’s how to deal with these challenges so you can continue on your great adventures. HECKLERS Somehow, there are still people who think shouting “Run, Forrest, run!” at passing runners is clever. Whether you hear that or something crueler midrun, the best response is none at all. (Unless, of course, you feel threatened. Then, get to a safe place and call the authorities.) Hecklers are fairly uncommon—if you often encounter them on…

WHEN RIPE, potassium-rich papaya cuts like butter. “Papaya can usually substitute for mango, peaches, or other tropical fruits,” says Mark Bittman, former New York Times columnist and cofounder of vegan meal-delivery service The Purple Carrot. For more, see markbittman.com. —YISHANE LEE GRILLED PAPAYA SKEWERS WITH GINGER SYRUP Serve as dessert. ¼ cup granulated sugar ¼ cup water 1" piece of ginger, peeled and sliced 2 yellow ripe bananas, unpeeled 2 apples, pears, or other firm fruit 1 small pineapple 1 firm, ripe papaya Combine first 3 ingredients in saucepan over medium heat. Bring to boil and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from heat, cool to room temperature, and strain. Cut unpeeled bananas into 2" chunks and make a small slit in the peel for easier serving. Cut apples and pears…

THE EXERCISES YOU MAY rely on to work your glutes—squats, deadlifts, lunges—target the big, meaty part of your buttocks known as gluteus maximus. But that regimen neglects the gluteus medius, the smaller muscle that runs along the side of your rear and keeps your pelvis steady when you run. A weak or inactive medius can cause instability down your leg. To prevent that, do this activation-and-strength routine from Erika Mundinger, a Minneapolis physical therapist, once or twice a week before an easy run. —LAUREN BEDOSKY REVERSE CROSSOVER LUNGE Stand on a smooth surface with a small towel under your left foot. Keeping your weight on your right leg, slide your left foot behind and around your right leg until you end in a lunge. Push through your right hip to…

BOJANS This is a partner workout. One person gets into a pike position with feet and hands outstretched on the ground, body high in the air (our yogi men and women call this a downward-facing dog). The other partner crawls under the space created. Once on the outer side, the now-free crawler stands and turns around to face the downward-dog partner, who is now in a curled-up ball, face down (Namaste, our yogi friends; we call this child’s pose). With both feet together the now-standing partner jumps this ball of human, landing on the other side. When the jumper turns around and gets down to crawl under, the piked dog is back up, booty high above the ground. Repeat 10 times; switch positions. We usually then have one partner sprint…

TO NIKE’S CREATOR, STEVE PREFONTAINE WAS MUCH MORE THAN A TALENTED RUNNER. HE WAS AN INSPIRATION FOR HOW THE FLEDGLING COMPANY WOULD DO, WELL, EVERYTHING. In 1972, we turned our attention to the Olympic Track and Field Trials, which that year were being held, for the first time ever, in our backyard: Eugene, Oregon. We needed to own those trials, so we sent an advance team down to give shoes to any competitor willing to take them, and we set up a staging area in our store, which was now being ably run by Geoff Hollister. As the trials opened we descended on Eugene and set up a silkscreen machine in the back of the store. We cranked out scores of Nike T-shirts, which Penny [Knight’s wife] handed out like…

“I love being in the middle of the Santa Monica Mountains, in the middle of nature.” WHEN PEOPLE THINK of basketball players, they think of sprinting: quick bursts from end to end. But I always approached basketball in marathon terms. I’d wear out my opponent mentally and physically over the course of a game. THE GOOD THING about Riverside, California, where I grew up, is that there were so many hills we could run, training for basketball. Maybe that’s where I fell in love with running, when I was 11 or 12 years old. NOWI LOVE TO RUN to prep for my TNT broadcast. If it’s Lakers versus Clippers, I’m thinking, “Okay, I know what Doc Rivers wants to do, but how are Kobe Bryant, Byron Scott, and this new-look…
