LOCATION Zion National Park, Utah PHOTOGRAPH BY Josh Letchworth RUNNER Jimmy Pelchat THE EXPERIENCE Titanic sandstone canyons, carved out over 250 million years by ancient rivers, set the backdrop for Zion–Mt. Carmel Highway, a scenic park road that runs near West Temple, one of Zion’s highest peaks. “This place has such a mythical feel,” Pelchat says. “The immensity of the rocks makes you feel so little. Yet I felt so powerful and free running here.” FOR DIRECTIONS, RESOURCE INFORMATION, AND DOWNLOADABLE WALLPAPER IMAGES, VISIT RUNNERSWORLD.COM/RAVERUN.…

CREEPY CRAWLER I read with horror about the runners suffering from Lyme disease (“Ticked Off!” July), so much so it made me begin scratching all over. Lo and behold, I found a tick in my hair that had been there for three days. If it weren’t for your article, who knows how this would have ended? I’m on antibiotics now and looking forward to running again. —THOMAS R. HARDY, via e-mail THAT TIME AT CAMP Thank you so much for featuring ZAP Fitness (“You Call This a Vacation?”) in the July issue. I had the opportunity to train at their facilities, where I gained knowledge that I still use today. Every runner should spend time there at one point in his or her life. —JULIA VEGAS, via e-mail GOOD HUMOR?…

Molly Huddle, 29, Providence, Rhode Island In June, Huddle won the New York Mini 10-K and the Outdoor National Championships 5000 meters 1] Breathe Right It was humid in NYC. I forgot a nasal strip; a race staffer got one for me. I needed every molecule of oxygen. 2] Take a Pass I played basketball when I was young. One time I scored for the wrong team. 3] Team of One My NY high school didn’t have a cross-country team. So I competed by myself. 4] Scientific American I studied biology. I thought I’d become a doctor—like my dad, uncle, and grandpa. 5] Page Turner I just finished Bill Rodgers’s Marathon Man. 6] Fully Caffeinated I drink coffee twice a day, before each run. 7] OWN the TV I was…

5 SHOEBUYING TIPS 1. Focus on Fit Not fashion. With the help of a specialty store expert, find a model that fits your arch, syncs with your stride, and matches your routine. 2. Shop Late Feet expand during the day, a change that occurs on the run, too. Try on shoes in the late afternoon to make sure your toes have room. 3. Don’t Assume Your Size Each brand and model has a unique fit. Even if you always get the exact same shoe, a newer version might feel different. Be flexible with your options. 4. Bring Socks Wear running socks—not the dress socks you wore to the office—to test shoes. 5. Run! It doesn’t matter how the shoes feel while you’re standing around. Take them for a spin to…

COMFORTABLE, steady running is great most of the time—even as little as 15 minutes on busy days can maintain your fitness. But occasionally adding a little speed to your run will help you burn calories, build speed, and bust boredom. Whether you have a small window of time or a big chunk, here’s how to pick up the pace for fun and fitness. YOU HAVE…15 MINUTES For 10 minutes, alternate 15- to 60-second run segments with 30- to 60-second walk breaks. Start each running segment at an easy pace and gradually speed up to a slightly faster pace. During the last five minutes, alternate 10 to 30 seconds of running at an even speedier pace with 30 to 60 seconds of walking. Don’t sprint— to avoid hurting yourself, increase speed…

Get the Facts The color of a bell pepper indicates its ripeness and taste: Green peppers are picked before they’re fully ripe and are not as sweet as mature yellow, orange, and red varieties. Red peppers also contain eight times more vitamin A than green peppers and 60 percent more vitamin C. All bell peppers have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory health benefits, along with fiber and vitamins B6 and E. Get the Best Choose bell peppers with shiny skin free of blemishes and wrinkles. They should feel firm and heavy for their size and should have intact stems. Store whole and unwashed in the refrigerator crisper and use within three or four days, keeping in mind that brightly colored peppers are fully ripe and more perishable than green.

UNLESS YOU’RE A BAREFOOTER, every run begins with putting on your socks and shoes. You can turn this basic act into a warmup to prep your muscles to run. This sequence will activate your glutes, warm your leg muscles, and loosen your hip flexors and hamstrings so they are ready to perform their best. —Sage Rountree, a USA-Triathlon and RRCA-certified coach 1. STAND TALL in your bare feet with toes, knees, and hips all facing forward. Feel your body weight even in your feet. 2. SQUAT to pick up your right sock. Bend your knees, pushing your glutes back. Push slowly back up, squeezing your glutes. Works: Glutes and quads; loosens calves 3. PULL ON YOUR SOCK by bending your right knee and balancing on your left leg. Works: Left…

On the worst day of his life, the race-champion-turned-beerhauler couldn’t find his running shoes. Late summer, late morning, empty streets baking in the sun outside the suddenly silent house where his wife and her two kids had lived until the night before. He had wept when they left, called people he hadn’t spoken to in months, wept some more, thought about mistakes he had made, worried that he would never be able to correct them, tried and failed to sleep and finally drifted off, and now it was nearly noon and he was lost and alone and his hands were bloody from a job he hated and the only things that might help were nowhere to be found. Where were his running shoes? Under the bed? On the porch? In…

West Bank TWO YEARS AGO, it was rare for Palestinians to run outside here. It’s not common for anyone to run on the road in this part of the world, so we didn’t think to do it. I ran on the treadmill in the gym. Running just felt natural. Then in January 2013, I heard about the Palestine Marathon. I was excited—there’d never been a race in Bethlehem before. Two Danish women founded it to draw attention to Palestinians’ lack of freedom. At a meeting about the marathon, someone suggested we train outside. Running outside, I realized how hilly Bethlehem is, but I liked covering distance rather than feeling like a hamster on a wheel. Frankly, it can be hard to train around here. Within the West Bank, where I…

Moving Comfort Urban Gym Capri “These capris are supersoft but strong, and they hug the hips snugly without sliding down or causing muffin top,” says one tester. Credit that to an extrawide, double-layer waistband that rises higher on your hips than most other pants (and which hides a slim pocket for gels or keys). $60;movingcomfort.com New Balance Beacon Vest More function-driven than most of the options on these pages, the Beacon Vest isn’t likely to be worn casually. Even so, testers praised the flattering silhouette—a slim glow-inthe-dark panel exposes your back and shoulders to keep you cool on warm evening runs. Reflective trim keeps you visible in oncoming headlights. $125; newbalance.com Adidas Supernova Mesh Tank This strappy tank is so light and wispy that you’ll stay fresh and dry on…

RYAN VAIL 28, 10th (top American) at April’s London Marathon in a PR of 2: 10:5 7; won Tampa’s Gasparilla Half-Marathon in February (1: 04:06) It’s good to go through race-morning prep: eating breakfast, getting nervous, being in a competitive atmosphere. A tune-up race is more mental preparation than physical.” ADRIANA NELSON 34, 15th (third American) at April’s Boston Marathon (2:31: 15); ninth at March’s New York City Half-Marathon (1: 1 1 :50) You don’t taper. You go to see how you do with heavy legs, and you should feel a little beat up after. You’ll be ready to race when you’re really tapering for the main event.” JEFFREY EGGLESTON 29, eighth (third American) at April’s Boston Marathon in a PR of 2: 1 1:57; 14th at March’s New York…

I HAD ZERO running experience when a producer on my show invited me to do a 5-K in 2009. I finished in 30 minutes, then I did a half in 2010, and I’ve since run the Miami Marathon twice [4:00 PR]. I WAKE UP at 3 a.m. and can work as late as 5:30 p.m. I’m the only host there who runs, and sometimes I’m so beat, I take a nap before I run. I like to run in the evening, when the temperature drops. I HAD ASTHMA as a kid. Every sport was challenging. I’m 5’6”. That’s tall in Honduras, where I grew up. I breathe better now just because I run. I’M PREGNANT, but I still run three days a week for five miles or 50 minutes. [At…

IF YOU AND I HAPPEN TO MEET one day and if my eyes move down your legs and I say, “Nice foxing!” please don’t take it the wrong way. It’s just that I’m a bit obsessed with shoes. And as I recently learned, foxing— a swath of material that is manually stitched onto most running shoes, joining the upper to the midsole—isn’t easy to apply. Nicely stitched foxing makes your shoes look smart and streamlined. Poorly stitched foxing makes them look like a Picasso painting. I should clarify that I’m now more obsessed with shoes. For a decade, I’ve been a free-range wear-tester for the RW Shoe Lab, which means I run in two or three different pairs every week and wear several others around the office during the day.…

ON A SUNNY TUESDAY AFTERNOON, 11 students from Reflections Central, a San Diego high school for juvenile offenders, are running repeats up and down 100 stairs at San Diego’s Convention Center. They finish, collapse at the top, and immediately start one-upping each other. “How’d you do?” one boy asks. “I did 15.” “Well, I did 22,” the other says. Ryan Richter, a 17-year-old junior, has finished 23 sets. “Why don’t you just make that an even 25?” asks Michael Rolan, the group’s probation officer. “All right,” Richter says, his face determined and serious. He turns around and heads back down for two more. Richter is “unrecognizable” from when he first joined the running club, Rolan says later. “It was hard to be around him, his behavior was so bad, and…

Run Off 190 Pounds Three years ago, EDGAR HERNANDEZ was a 375-pound 16-year-old, who was depressed, bullied, and prediabetic. Then he went for a run. Going just a half mile made him vomit. But he stuck with it. Today, the 19-year-old is down to 185 pounds and the proud owner of a 1:55 half-marathon. He wants to help others lose weight; follow him @RunWithEdgar. —MCKENZIE MAXSON “I had breakdowns, but I kept in mind that I was going to love the end result. I was going to love this new lifestyle, and I do.” Pick Up the Pieces In May, SARAH SCARROW, a 32-year-old bookkeeper, completed a 5-K run in Twin Falls, Idaho—her first race since a January 2013 accident nearly killed her. Scarrow was struck by a car while…

HOW FAST are you running? Ask yourself midrun—no peeking at your GPS!—and chances are, you’ll get it wrong. Research shows that recreational runners overestimate or underestimate their pace by 32 to 40 seconds per mile. And many assume that unless they’re training for a specific time goal, pace doesn’t matter anyway. It does, says Coach Ewen North, of Colorado– based Revolution Running. “Even if you’re just out there to stay physically fit, being cognizant of pace can help you stay out longer and complete your run, so you get more endurance benefits.” For those gunning for a PR or tackling a new distance, pacing is even more vital, says Carl Foster, Ph.D., an exercise scientist at University of Wisconsin–Lacrosse. Starting too fast can have disastrous physiological effects midrace, and finishing…

AUSTRALIAN MILER Herb Elliott’s gut-churning sand dune workouts prior to his 1960 Olympic gold helped establish hill training as critical to every serious training plan. But simply sprinting up and down inclines isn’t a winning strategy, as Australian researchers discovered. The experts wired up a group of runners to monitor their speed, oxygen consumption, heart rate, and stride length, then sent them out for a six-mile time trial over a hilly course. This field trial captured how runners varied their pace and effort over real-world, hilly terrain and found that they ascended too fast and took more than a minute to recover. The results revealed valuable lessons. ON THE WAY UP The most efficient way to run a flat course is to keep an even pace. On hills, you must…

YOUR JOINTS ARE built to withstand incredible forces. Within each is a capsule filled with synovial fluid that cushions and nourishes your cartilage. It’s your cartilage that allows bones to pass over and across each other. A poor diet, age, and genetics can cause cartilage cells to break apart, clog up the synovial fluid, and bring on an inflammatory reaction resulting in pain. Fortunately, you can shore up your joint health with certain key foods. EVOO Researchers from the University of Catania in Italy added extra-virgin olive oil (or EVOO) to the diets of rats that had a joint injury. After eight weeks on the EVOO diet, those rats had significantly higher levels of lubricin, a protein in the synovial fluid that protects cartilage and serves as a lubricant, compared…

MAYBE YOUR 15-year-old Labrador isn’t doing well. Maybe your boss has been pressuring you to stay late. Maybe you were dumped. On your wedding day. With a text. Whatever the reason, when you have a bad day or week, your instinct is to lace up and work it out on the road. But run superstressed, experts say, and your typical interval-induced Zen might elude you. In fact, you could be setting yourself up for injury. For the most part, running is touted as a mental tonic. Research has shown that your routine four-miler helps keep granule neurons in the brain from firing, making you better able to deal with anger, anxiety, or grief, the negative emotions referred to, collectively, as stress. But there’s a flip side: Research also indicates that…

IF I SAY “far away,” you might think Istanbul. If I say “barren,” you might think Sahara. If I say “wind-swept lifesucking outpost at the very cusp of survivability,” you might think the shopping mall. But if I bundle all those together and ask what first comes to mind, the answer can only be Saskatchewan. When I was a kid, attaching the word Saskatchewan to any boast or threat was to evoke a game-ending invincibility that would crush all opposition—I’ll punch you so hard they’ll feel it in Saskatchewan. Or: You’re cruisin’ for a one-way ticket to Saskatchewan. Or : Buddy, the difference between me and you is the difference between me and Saskatchewan. If you were 9 years old in Northern Wisconsin and you said it with a curled…

“Fitness takes time.” —COACH GREG MCMILLAN McMillan advises driven athletes from newbies to Olympic qualifiers who all have one thing in common: “They’re used to giving things 110 percent, and they expect that’ll achieve fast results,” says the exercise scientist and running coach based in Flagstaff, Arizona. “But fitness should sneak up on you.” McMillan says performance gains come from training optimally, not maximally. That’s because “fitness” really refers to a set of complex biological processes that can’t be rushed. Push too hard, too soon, and you’ll end up injured and discouraged. “But if you can stack up week after week of consistent training, you will see your fitness level go to places that you may never have thought possible,” he says. Here’s how to get there. Honor your body’s…

In June 2013, Matt Elliott stunned the track world when he battled with the nation’s elite 1500-meter specialists en route to a fourth-place finish (3:45) at the USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. An emotional postrace interview with Flotrack made the full-time elementary school teacher from South Carolina an overnight star, and the past year has been marked by soaring highs—such as when he bested Olympians LeoManzano, Lopez Lomong, and Nick Symmonds at the Fifth Avenue Mile in New York three months later—and humbling lows, like a last-place finish (3:55) in the 1500 atoutdoor nationals this year. Through it all, Elliott has stayed loyal to his classroom while doggedly pursuing his professional running dreams. In His Own Words At nationals in 2013, I didn’t care about who the other runners…

“SHOULD WE GO UP?” I asked my buddy Jan. In my oxygen-deprived state, my brain wasn’t registering the “Trail Closed” sign standing between us and the summit. “You can’t close a mountain!” he said, stepping over the rusty, drooping chain and—for the second time that day— dropping me. We’d just completed the eight-mile Whiteface Mountain Uphill Footrace, which climbs 3,500 feet over an eightpercent average grade, and finishes just shy of the summit. Home to the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympiads, Whiteface is New York State’s fifth-highest peak at 4,867 feet, and a playground for skiers. But for 86 runners one September morning, it felt more like a battleground—man versus mountain. Things started out pleasant enough. The weather at the start in the tiny town of Wilmington, New York, was…

September 21 Seattle DON YOUR lederhosen for this selfproclaimed “ultimate beer run,” which ends at a two-block-long beer garden with more than 70 microbrews on tap. Part of a three-day Oktoberfest in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood, the race starts at 10 a.m., giving entrants who spent Saturday night sampling the festival’s offerings extra time to recover. Expect to see runners in German attire, some with their furry friends since dogs are allowed in the race. The 5-K heads past the recently opened Brooks Sports headquarters and the rusty remnants of an early 20thcentury coal gasification plant (the last one standing in the U.S.). In the final mile, runners go under the Fremont Bridge, one of the world’s busiest drawbridges (opening 35 times per day on average). Afterward, each of-age participant gets…

STEVE FRIEDMAN “I’m drawn to stories about people who experience loss, redemption, or the attainment of wisdom,” Friedman says. “People like James Bonnett” (page 50). The writer’s June 2013 RW feature, “Bret, Unbroken,” was recently nominated for a National Magazine Award in Feature Writing. BENJAMIN RASMUSSEN Despite the epic backdrop provided by Colorado’s Garden of the Gods, the photographer wanted to capture the “unassuming and kind” character of cover subject Matt Elliott, a teacher turned track star (page 74). “I wanted him to look like the boy next door who pushed himself to be great,” he says.…

DEAR MILES, I think it’s obnoxious when runners snap selfies midrace and that cell phones should be banned at events. What’s your take? —ELLEN S., Winter Park, Florida I’m with you. I find this obnoxious on two levels. First, I’ve sort of had it with our collective pathological need to digitally document every single thing we do, rather than just doing it. Second, at a road race, pausing for a self-portrait is rude at best, and dangerous at worst. An outright ban, however, is unlikely. No race director in his right mind would risk enraging a legion of smartphone-equipped, social-media-savvy runners. Besides which, many runners carry phones in races in the name of safety (not selfies). All we can do is keep an eye out for those telltale outstretched arms.…

THERE ISN’T a shoe at the center of the buzz-worthy advertisement Mizuno launched in March—just one big idea and a team of business students. “What If Everyone Ran?” uses statistics to demonstrate the potential benefits if 270 million nonrunning Americans were to start running 30 minutes a week. Mizuno hired four students from the University of North Carolina’s Kenan-Flagler Business School to conduct the research. “The advertising agency that represents Mizuno posted something to our school’s career site,” says Ellen Kane, an avid runner, who crafted the project’s academic paper. “I was like, This is awesome. They encouraged us to have fun with it. I came up with stats like ‘celebration beers’ and ‘bananas consumed.’” Here’s how the team arrived at a few of the other facts. —NICK WELDON IF…

JOANNA ZEIGER, 44, of Boulder, Colorado, a former U.S. Olympic triathlete, was first woman overall at the Shamrock Marathon in Virginia Beach in March in 2:43:59. 1. Climb It “I enjoy doing ‘ladders’ of 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1 minutes, with half of each interval jogged as the rest period. This lets you hit different pace zones—a fast pace on the shorter intervals and a little slower on the longer ones.” 2. Control It “Run the training paces that are appropriate for you right now— not where you want to be at your peak. I love to run at ‘dream pace’ now and again, but overreaching too often can cause an injury.” 3. Contain It “There’s a lot of ‘mileage envy’—runners trying to match what their friends have posted on social media—but what they…

Q I like to play sports. Could that hurt my running? A It depends. Distance running (especially on roads) requires primarily linear movement patterns—up, down, forward—without placing much demand on your balance. Sports like basketball, tennis, soccer, and softball demand multidirectional movements (side-to-side, diagonal, backward). If the fun of playing these sports is important to you, spend time developing the strength, stability, and agility needed to perform them with sport-specific drills (such as side-to-side shuffling and change-of-direction accelerations) and gym exercises (such as lateral lunges and diagonal step-ups) to reduce the odds of an injury. Still, high-speed collisions with other players or the ground could leave you hurt. If staying injury-free is your top priority, safer cross-training sports like cycling, swimming, and paddling are better bets. —CRIS DOBROSIELSKI, C.S.C.S., the…

Chilled Golden Zucchini and Buttermilk Soup “Soups do not get simpler, more versatile, healthier, or more satisfying than this one,” says Wells. Summer squashes like zucchini provide a variety of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, such as eye-protective lutein and zeaxanthin. To retain the most nutrients, keep the peel on (wash well and buy organic, if possible). 2 small cloves garlic, peeled, halved, and green germ removed 1 pound golden zucchini, yellow summer squash, or English cucumber, chopped 1 teaspoon fine sea salt 2 cups buttermilk, shaken to blend ¼ cup minced dill or mint (or a combination of the two), or zucchini or squash blossoms cut into thin strips In a blender or food processor, mince the garlic.

ANGER Write the name of the person or the thing you’re frustrated with on the bottom of your shoe so you’re embodying your power over the stressor with each step, expert Jim Afremow says. INSECURITY Take two minutes at the starting line to stand in Superman pose—feet wide, fists on hips, chest out, chin up. Research from Harvard University reports that just standing in a powerful position can trick you into feeling powerful, strange looks aside. SADNESS Find a running buddy, and offer him encouragement. Research shows that offering support to others can improve your own mood. SHAME/GRIEF Visualize a metal locker, put your worries and concerns inside, and lock it up. “You’re freeing yourself to deal with them after the run, when you can better process them,” Afremow says.…

OH (WHEEZE)my (gasp) God (cough) this is hard (snot rocket). “This” is four to five sets of 4 x 400 on the track at 5-K goal pace with 40 seconds recovery and a jog lap between each of the sets. Mel and I zombie-walk away from the finish line of the track, hands pressing down onto our thighs to stay mostly upright, our chins jutting forward and mouths agape to suck in whatever oxygen we can get in the short 40 seconds before it’s time to go again. “Twenty more seconds’ rest,” my teammate Kate Grace says almost apologetically from behind the watch. We are hurting. Bad. She knows our pain, having been there only yesterday while I held the watch for her. In response, Mel and I pivot and…

Gabriele Grunewald has no trouble admitting that before being diagnosed with cancer at the age of 22, she had no realistic prospects as a professional runner. A second diagnosis at age 24 ought to have put the kibosh on any such dreams for good. But the former standout mid-distance runner at Minnesota’s Perham High School and the University of Minnesota, now 28, avows that those confrontations with death set her on a path to becoming a national champion in the 3000 meters. Fate, however, denied her the chance to celebrate that milestone, achieved at the 2014 USA Indoor Track & Field Championships. After her win, the ugliest track controversy of the year unfolded. Heavyweight Nike coach Alberto Salazar protested her title, insisting she made illegal contact with his athlete, Jordan…

RUN BY EFFORT You should be able to speak in nearly complete sentences for the first third of the race. For the middle third, speed up a bit so you’re only able to get out a few words at a time. For the last third, don’t worry about talking—get to the top as quickly as possible. WALK MORE Opt for “power hiking” (using long, powerful steps) when you’re running slower than three miles per hour or if you can’t control your breathing.
