The day was cool, but rain free. Fol- lowing the race was a plentiful brunch with an awards ceremony.

Cathy Levine Checkers Interview with John Ende by Paul Wandel BIO: Age Group: 40- 44 Checkers member: 2 years Running: 4 years Residence: Kenmore, NY Professional: Mentholatum Consumer Products VP of Marketing, Sales, and Customer Service Personal: Married with two children. Katie-11, Maura-9. Interests: Golf, tennis and watching sports. Pace Group: Red-51 Exactly what motivated you to begin running? We all have our own reasons. For John Ende, a senior marketing professional, it was a very familiar theme. Four years ago, this former soccer and squash athlete realized that something had to change. “I was winded after running ten seconds with my daughter. I was not exercising and eating too many Buffalo chicken wings. I let myself go for about ten years!” John‟s motivation was to get into shape through running. After graduating from US Military Academy at West Point, John spent five plus years specializing in combat engineering while he served in the U.S. Army and was stationed in Germany. “I‟m proud of my time in the army!” He engaged in competitive sports during his army career with active participation in the German soccer and squash leagues. However, after returning home to the States, getting mar- ried and beginning a family, John allowed himself to go sedentary. His wake-up call was just what he needed to turn it around and start again. “I was mad at myself for being out of shape.” Fueled by a determination to restore his fitness, John began to run and train on a regular basis. “I had a smooth path toward fitness.” As he developed stamina, strength, and speed, thoughts of training for a marathon eventually emerged. The 2008 Buffalo Marathon was his first target goal. “I recall running through the second relay checkpoint at 12 miles with a pack of eight runners and hearing a spectator with „Good job number 212 marathoner. You look great and smooth!‟ I quickly realized I was running with the half marathoners!” That encouragement and surprise thrust John to complete his first marathon with an admirable time of 3:13 and qualified him for Boston (BQ). Excited with his successful performance in Buffalo, John commenced training for the 2009 Boston Marathon that January and became curious of running clubs in the Buffalo area. Internet searches directed him to Checkers AC. and he readily joined the club. Making it a habit to greet people and introduce himself, John met and befriended Jim Figler. He also developed camaraderie with Kieran O‟Loughlin, Matt Phillips, Liz Randell, and others meeting for long runs at Delaware Park, Chestnut Ridge or the bike path. “I‟ve made some great new friends.” John was now a marathoner and his first attempt at the Boston Marathon proved challenging.

    Completing the Results of the 2013 Boston Marathon Dorit Hammerling1, Matthew Cefalu2, Jessi Cisewski3, Francesca Dominici2, Giovanni Parmigiani2,4, Charles Paulson5, Richard L. Smith1,6* 1 Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, United States of America, 2 Department of Biostatistics, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America, 3 Department of Statistics, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States of America, 4 Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America, 5 Puffinware LLC, State College, Pennsylvania, United States of America, 6 Department of Statistics and Operations Research, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States of America Abstract The 2013 Boston marathon was disrupted by two bombs placed near the finish line. The bombs resulted in three deaths and several hundred injuries. Of lesser concern, in the immediate aftermath, was the fact that nearly 6,000 runners failed to finish the race. We were approached by the marathon’s organizers, the Boston Athletic Association (BAA), and asked to recommend a procedure for projecting finish times for the runners who could not complete the race. With assistance from the BAA, we created a dataset consisting of all the runners in the 2013 race who reached the halfway point but failed to finish, as well as all runners from the 2010 and 2011 Boston marathons. The data consist of split times from each of the 5 km sections of the course, as well as the final 2.2 km (from 40 km to the finish). The statistical objective is to predict the missing split times for the runners who failed to finish in 2013.

    SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2010 BRONX N. Y. VOLUME 43 ISSUE #5 Van Cortlandt Track Club newsletter My Kenyan Adventure by Kyle Ha! This summer presented me with one of those unique moments in life when I knew I had to strike while the iron was hot. Everything came together running-wise, financially, & in terms of my summer break from teaching. I was then off to Africa. My flights all went well. Emirates is an incredible airline and I ate very well onboard (i.e. grilled tofu with vegetables, fruit salads, Indian rice with beans, etc.) There were literally hundreds of movies and tv shows to watch and everyone had his/her own individual tv screen and advanced remote. 'Stars' lit up the cabin ceiling at night. The flight was 11 hours 41 minutes from JFK to Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I landed in the Middle East for the first time ever and was immediately struck by the opulence of Dubai. Giant sparkling columns lined the high ceilinged airport. Triple story cascading Kyle with Daniel Rono by the pool at th" waterfalls fell near giant elevators. All local Muslim women I saw High Altitude Training Centr" had their heads covered and men wore flowing white robes with long white head scarves (sorry, I don't know the proper terms for those). The world's only 7 star hotel, Al Burj Dubai, sat nearby--on its own private island. The airport's Burger King carried the 'Bean Patty--Veg' sandwich. Of course, I left the airport and explored a bit outside but then had to report back to Emirates fairly quickly for my connecting flight.

Defending Bank of America Chicago Marathon champion Sammy Wanjiru of Kenya, 2010 Virgin London Marathon champion Tsegaye Kebede of Ethiopia, and 2010 Boston Marathon champion Robert Kiprono Cheruiyot of Kenya will put their winning records on the line in Chicago on Sunday, October 10. The participation of these runners in the 2010 Bank of America Chicago Marathon will be pivotal in deciding the winner of the 2009-2010 World Marathon Majors (WMM) series. Wanjiru and Kebede are tied atop the current series standings with 50 points apiece. A victory by one or the other in Chicago would likely determine the champion of the series, which concludes with the ING New York City Marathon on November 7. “Bringing together these three great champions in the prime of their careers will make the 2010 Bank of America Chicago Marathon one of the most exciting races in the event’s history,” said Executive Race Director Carey Pinkowski.

  • Introduction to Running Biomechanics Written by Matt Phillips - Get Free Updates Here
    INTRODUCTION TO RUNNING BIOMECHANICS WRITTEN BY MATT PHILLIPS - GET FREE UPDATES HERE bi·o·me·chan·ics /ˌbīōməˈkaniks/ Noun The study of the mechanical laws relating to the movement or structure of living organisms. If the above has turned you off slightly, I totally understand. It’s hard to go for a run these days without worrying about where our foot is landing, what shoe we’re wearing, or optimal stride frequency. Surely running can’t be so complicated! The good news is, it doesn’t have to be! The first thing you can do is discount anybody out there who tells you that their way is the only way. If that were the case, all elite, world-class runners would have the same running style, and quite simply they don’t. Running, like any sport, is a skill for which improvement will depend on suitable conditioning and active development, but it’s about building on your individual running style, as opposed to basing your training regime on what happens to work well for somebody else. Having a basic understanding of the biomechanics of running can help you appreciate your own running form and see where you may be able to make improvements. It can also help you make more sense of what you read and hear with regards to running styles, training programs, conditioning exercises, footwear, etc. Although running most definitely depends on whole body interaction, dividing the running stride up into individual components or “phases” can help us understand how slight changes can help improve performance and reduce susceptibility to injury.
