1981 Jijht-I Pfi HERSON 48 RIVER RIN 15,_ RACE NOTES~~ ° It was with somewhat mixed emotions that I drove to'~; cO<'­ Coastline Drive early the morning of March 14. The intensity -~~~~ of several months of preparing, problem solving and working -::-~'L:'" with numerous friends had almost become an end in itself. Now I realized the race was to begin and our job would be over. Many of us would never be the same for our experience. Lingering fear of the weather was dismissed at daybreak by a beautiful mild (54°) spring day. Following last minute scrambling and hectic radio calls, suddenly everything fell in its place. Order at the starting line, runners ready, no time to savor that moment, arid off they went. _~ -.~- - - --~~- What a race it was! _ The pack of Durden, Floto, _0 Roja-s/,"c_~:t~~ ° Sinclair, Kenny and Dillon after several exchanges resal ved .=::-. itself to the greatest duel yet witnessed in River-RUn. Dillon and Sinclair surged ahead on the Hart Bridge and ran neck and neck the remaining distance. The outcome was °only decided by Dillon's powerful kick in the last 100 yards to take the prize ~y two seconds. Third place went to Steve Floto (44.34) and fourth to Louis Kenny (44.35), both runners also breaking the course record. Further back (but getting closer every year) the lead women Were setting a blistering pace, which resulted in Patti Catalano's new American record at 49.33. Joan Benoit finished second, breaking her own River Run record at 50:29 with Jacqueline Gareau at a fine third of 51.37. As Race Director, I want to express my appreciation to all of the race workers whose superb efforts mac;le River Run the class event of the South. Also; °both myself and the Jacksonville Track Club are extremely grateful for the coopera­ tion and assistance of the City of Jacksonville and the Of.fice of the Sheriff. To our generous sponsors, The Florida Times ~. Union and Jacksonville Journal and the Barnett Bank, special thanks for your support and confidence. Lastly, thanks to the participants and spectators for creating the "River Run Spirit". The 1982 River Run 15,000 will be held on Saturday, March 13. Be there and be a part of it.

    This book is dedicated to one of my wisest high school runners, Matt Fulvio. As a sophomore, he said to his rambling coach, “Why don’t you just write this all down?” Well Matt, it took me four years to do it, and by the time I finished, you were no longer running. Note to the reader This book is not longer in print. Thus, the reason it is free on my website. However, this means that the version of the book you see here is pre- professional editing. There will likely be a number of editing mistakes. But with 400 pages of single-spaced text, you can see why I have not bothered to spend the time required to polish it. Eric Anderson, August 2008 About the Author Doctor Anderson has coached high school, collegiate, and elite distance runners since 1986. He has five degrees, including a Ph.D. from the University of California Irvine. Dr. Anderson has published a number of books relating do distance running, including: Training Games: Coaching Runners Creatively and Trailblazing: The True Story of America’s First Openly Gay Track Coach . Introduction Because running is a multi-faceted sport infused with both science and art, writing about it in a comprehensive fashion is difficult: entire books have been written on individual aspects of the large spectrum of factors that influence the distance runner. So what inspired me to tackle them all in one work? I desired to combat what I call postcard theory: that most students (of any discipline) desire to read a source of information that is short and precise; just enough to know what to do.

Washington, D.C. – On September 27th, runners will become a part of history when they join Olympic champion Joan Benoit Samuelson at the first annual Freedom 5K XC at President Lincoln’s Cottage! After winning the Boston Marathon twice, Ms. Benoit Samuelson went on to become the first woman to ever win the gold medal in the Olympic marathon at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. The Freedom 5K XC, a unique cross country event open to the general public, provides a rare opportunity for runners and walkers alike to race on the 250 acre Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH) campus, where President Lincoln and his family resided during his presidency. All proceeds and donations support preservation, award-winning programs, and innovative initiatives such as the Students Opposing Slavery program at President Lincoln's Cottage, the only privately funded National Monument in the nation. The Freedom 5K XC begins in the nation’s first National Cemetery – the final resting place for thousands of men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for freedom – and traverses the picturesque AFRH grounds, on roads and paths that wind past ponds, woods, and fields. As a cross country-style course, the running surface will include paved and unpaved pathways.
