Split Times Staff How do you tell that you are overtraining? Well, Editor: Rob Schoborg the signs are different for different people. For me, the 623 W. Maple St. first sign is a lack of ability to sleep. Resting pulse rate is Johnson City, TN 37604 another good indicator. If your resting pulse (taken 423-926-1265 (H) before you get out of bed in the morning) is elevated for 423-439-6295 (W) several days in a row, you need a rest day. Another E-mail: [email protected] easily recognizable sign is poor mental attitude. If you don’t feel like running for several days in a row, maybe Split Times is published quarterly in January, April, July and your body is trying to tell you that it needs some rest. October. The deadline for contributions is the 10th of the
preceding month. If you are on the verge of burnout, what do you CLUB WEBSITE ADDRESS do? The answer is easy - take a break from running. Do something else - go hiking, biking, play basketball, or WWW.RUNTRICITIES.ORG maybe do nothing at all. This is pretty difficult for most runners, after all, to quote Oscar Wagner, “running is Cover Photo: Tommy Antenucci on his about not quitting”. However, running is also about fun and stress reduction. Taking a few days (or weeks) off way to victory in the Firecracker 4 can give your body and mind much needed rest, miler/Tennessee State 4 Mile Road increasing your enjoyment of the sport and making it Championship. more likely you will be able to train at a higher level later (and get that PR you have been striving for).
See you all out on the road! Rob Split Times, page 2 . . . . . From the President’s Pen SFTC President – David Fox
I promised to teach you a little about the club this year, so here's a few notes. Did you know...?
• SFTC earns most of its revenue by being hired by local races or renting equipment to them. • In 2006, SFTC will be involved in almost 50 events. On average, that's almost 1 event every weekend! o 24 equipment rentals o 13 races that hire SFTC to time and tabulate results o 8 races owned by SFTC (plus a few track meets) • The races owned by SFTC are: o War Party 10K o VA Creeper Marathon o Run The Tunnel o Roan Mtn 10K o New Years Wake Up 5K o Duck Island Mile (Spring, Summer, and Fall) • All other races are owned and directed by other organizations or individuals. Many people don't realize this and assume that SFTC has control over most races in the area. Not so.
One of the overall missions of the club is to promote running and fitness in our area. As mentioned above, the club is involved in almost 50 races. Plus there are several other races beyond that. But if you went back a few years ago you'd probably only find 15 races or so. SFTC has played a huge role in growing that base. How? Well, besides being hired and offering equipment rentals, we offer:
• Empowerment: The SFTC online race calendar is a free tool that helps races select a date and then promote their race to runners in our area. It even has a printable entry-form feature at no charge. • Expertise: Some SFTC members are often asked to guide new race directors with advice on planning, costs, equipment, and other race info. • Technical Knowledge: SFTC has 2 course certifiers who devote many hours to accurately measure and certify courses in the area.
As you've probably heard, it's been difficult for the club to find volunteers and liaisons for our hired races. There have even been events where SFTC has had to withdraw... because we couldn't find a liaison and/or volunteers. For example, this year SFTC will not be working the Apple Festival 4 Miler. After years of searching for a liaison replacement, we had to drop that engagement from our work list. That was a very tough and emotional decision.
When a new race requests to hire SFTC, we discuss it at our board meeting and attempt to locate a liaison to coordinate the job. If we cannot find a liaison, we notify the race that we cannot accept their request for hire. But we still try to coach them in any way we can.
With this abundance of races, the club is in the best financial position it's ever been in almost 30 years of existence. This has come through careful planning and operation of our hired events. But now the board is seeking ways to put some money back into our area. Scholarship programs, grants, rebates, volunteer credits... these are all ways that the board is trying to reinvest in our running community. If you want to learn more or make suggestions, come join us at our monthly board meetings. You'll find the dates and times on the web calendar.
David Split Times, page 3 A Game of Backsies By Oscar Wagner
About six years ago I was running some pretty good times in an East Tennessee kind of way. Not like Zaf Ahmed, Richard Weeks can do or even like Bob Barber is doing now. Almost all training for those performances was done in Lane 7 at Liberty Bell Track.
Let’s be clear that the workouts used were not the major factor in going from a decent good local runner in 1996 to first place Masters at Crazy 8’s in 1999. Conquering gravity had way more to do with this than anything else. I never paid much attention to my weight till our current Split Times editor suggested losing 5 pounds instead of plunge routing the EVA foam out of a pair of perfectly non-militant Nike Ancilles. Incidentally, if you try that, wear a face shield because it slings hot rubber all over. Stinks too.
The sign at Liberty Bell says for casual runners and walkers to use Lanes 7 – 9 to save 1 – 6 for competition. Most of my training runs were originally set up in Lane 9 because it had the most gentle curves. However, walkers kind of took over the place and would get three abreast without noticing that some nut in gym shorts already had Lane 9. Furthermore that nut was bearing down on them (and maybe a PR) at about three times their velocity. It was a strong temptation to tell them that if they wanted a real thrill, they should try pulling out in front of a semi on Interstate 81 without looking. The solution was to grudgingly move everything to Lane 7 so I could dodge around into unoccupied Lane 6 to pass.
If you’re interested in performance, you have to measure it and all its suspected components. What do you suspect? Stuff you hear about like shoe weight and style, body weight and fat percent, split control, speed work, hydration, rest and training regimen. My training log is composed of about 1700 DATA statements in IBM Basic. Each has date, course, distance in meters, time, laps or lap equivalent if done on pavement, body weight, ambient temperature and anything unusual. The math for deciding which of these factors really made a difference is daunting. That is eight factors up there. If you ran better at 145 pounds with two days rest instead of one, that might say something but what was the weather, your hydration state, how long was it since you ate? It takes a long time to sift through what you hear.
After I started having some hip pain in 1998, I stopped doing long runs and speed work. They seemed to aggravate the problem. Most of what I did was 12 lane 7’s interlaced with 19, 23 and 26 lane 7’s. That’s like alternating a 5K with 8K’s, 10K’s and 7 milers. About once a month I’d throw in a 15K. I was watching my daughter at a track meet when Teresa McCormick told me how much stock Tommy put in split control. I think she said something like doing the first lap 5 seconds too fast would cost him 10 seconds in a one mile race. I was smarter than to follow Sam Culbertson Jerry Feliu & Oscar Wagner at Santa’s the first 100 meters but never knew constant pace had that Special Half Marathon much effect. It does. Photo courtesy of Hank Brown
The game I call Backsies is running constant splits in a given lane. At a springtime weight of 150 pounds, I am happy to do it in 2 minutes flat (120 seconds). By Crazy 8’s I better be seeing some mid to low 130’s. The mathematics of constant pace is a serious problem after a few laps at 90 to 95% of your maximum heart rate. I get math stupid fast. Backsies simplifies things. Do a time check at the first half lap to see what you think you’ve got that day. If you haven’t done a timed run lately, you’ve probably forgotten how easy it is to start too fast. If the watch says 55, that’s a 1:50 lap pace. If you struggled to average full laps of 1:58 two days ago, you better slow down or you won’t finish that 8K you told yourself you were going to do. Failure is terrible psychologically! Not only did you not go fast, but you wussed out and quit. Running is about not quitting. After adjusting your pace, check your watch every lap. How many seconds back of 120 seconds was that lap? If you’re trying to do two seconds back of 120, you want to see 1:58, 3:56, 5:54 and so on. If you’re ahead of pace, back off. If you’re behind, try to pick it up a little but don’t panic and blow your jets trying to get back on pace. Split Times, page 4
This practice regimen gives you a great feel for what “going out too fast” is for your current weight and conditioning. It was always a hoot to watch the high school boys blast off at the Firecracker 5 Miler. Us old guys would start catching them at mile one and by mile two there weren’t many of them still ahead of us.
My experience has been that weight is the most important variable in race performance. Motivation to keep your snoot out of the fridge is therefore quite valuable. Nothing motivates me to eat less and train harder than seeing my practice times come down. Backsies does this.
Staying healthy enough to train is another subject but Force equals half the Mass times the Velocity squared. Staying light is the best thing you can do for your joints. An unfortunate byproduct of going faster is the effect of speed on force. It’s a risk. I like that soft surface tracks and there is no steep downhill either.
I would do run like that every day, sometimes for two weeks straight. It always took about 90 days to get to a peak. The best speed work is a race. I might do a few quarters a couple of days before a big race. And all that really did was appease a fear of slacking off for a day. With no traffic, it’s quite relaxing. Like David Fox said about the time he shoveled snow out of Lane 1 and did 10 Miles, “Just put it on cruise and go to sleep.”
New Tri-Cities Trail Race By Mark Skelton Bays Mountain Trail Race Director [email protected]
The Inaugural Bays Mountain Trail Race is scheduled for Saturday, September 23, 9:00a.m., at the Bays Mountain Park in Kingsport. The race will be run on a 15 mile loop course on the beautiful scenic trails of the 3,500 acre Bays Mountain Park nature preserve. With the spectacular scenery of Bays Mountain Park, including the 44 acre lake with dam, ridges, gorges, creeks, water falls, wildlife, and fire tower, this race should be a favorite for trail runners throughout the region. The race is included in the State of Franklin Track Club Long Distance Series. The start and finish will be beside the Wolf Habitat. The trails included in the loop basically consist of Azalea, River Mountain Road, past the fire tower, Indian Pipes, Kiner Hollow, Laurel Run, with a turnaround just before the creek crossing, Pretty Ridge, Cross Ridges, Front Hollow Road, Lake Road, and across dam to trail behind Nature Center to finish at Wolf Habitat. There will be free entry into Bays Mountain Park and free parking. Registration, picnic lunch, prize drawings, and awards will be held at the Amphitheater or, in case of rain, at the Steadman Farmstead Museum. Additional lunch tickets are available at $5.00 per person. Awards will be presented for the top overall, top masters, top grandmasters, and the top three in five year age group categories, male and female. Net proceeds will benefit the Bays Mountain Park Association, for which I am a board member, and will be designated for trail maintenance, brochure, and signage. While the race will not require technical skills, the race will be challenging and strenuous and should only be run if you are properly trained. There will be water and check point stations, but it is recommended that you carry your own water.
Bays Mountain Park has always been a favorite place for me since I began running, especially since I prefer to do most of my training on trails. I had always thought of the possibility of a trail race at Bays Mountain Park. Of course, I got somewhat sidetracked with other races – Phipps Bend 5K, Surgoinsville 10 Miler, and Firecracker 4 Miler! But finally the trail race is here, and it should be very special. We are fortunate to have Bays Mountain Park available to us. The park has so many resources, including environmental education for students from schools in approximately 47 counties. There is a planetarium, herpetarium, museum, discovery theater, telescope observatory, gift shop, amphitheater, exhibits, nature programs, and animal habitats. Barge rides are also offered on the lake. There are so many trails available within the park with numerous loop possibilities, long and short. I have tried to include some of the best and most scenic trails into the race course. The views throughout the park are spectacular, and wildlife is in abundance. If you have never been up into the fire tower, you need to make plans to do so to get the great view of the BAE/Holston Defense and Allandale area. Of course, you could take a break during the race to go up the fire tower to take in the refreshing view! While this race definitely caters to the seasoned runner, volunteers are needed and would be greatly appreciated. I hope to see you at Bays Mountain Park on September 23rd. Split Times, page 5

If you are wanting to try the new Bays Mountain Trail Race, you might also want to check out these three trails in the Tri-Cities area!
Trail #1: Bays Mountain Park “Ridge Loop Run”. Length: 8.5 miles (give or take a bit). Important Information: Bathrooms and water are available at the visitors center. Entry into the park is 3$/car. You can buy a yearly pass for $25 at the visitors center. Also, unless you are already familiar with the trails, pick up a free trail map at the park entrance or at the visitors center. There are many trails in the park and it is
Split Times, page 6 easy to get turned around! Start Point and Route: This run starts at the Bays Mountain Park visitor’s center with an easy warm-up loop around the lake. Take the Lakeside Trail counter-clockwise north–west around the lake from the visitors center. Continue past the intersection with Cherry Knobs Trail across the floating bridge back to Lake Road. Turn left (north-east) on Lake Road, cross the dam and go back to the visitors center. After this 2.5 mile warm up, take Lake Road north-east from the visitors center to Azalea Trail. Follow the Azalea Trail to the intersection with River Mountain Road at the radio towers. Turn left (north-west) and continue up River Mountain Road to the fire tower. Just past the fire tower bear left (downhill) on River Mountain Road and descend into Feagan’s Gap. At Feagan’s Gap go south (straight) on Lake Road and up the steep climb over Cherry Knobs. Descend on Lake Road to Ledbetter Gap. At Ledbetter Gap proceed south (straight) up the ridge on Bays Ridge Road. Descend from the ridge on Bays Ridge Road to Lake Road at the dam. Cross the dam back to the visitors center. Difficulty: High. A lung-busting climb from Azalea Trail all the way to the fire tower. Tough, steep climbs up the Lake Road from Feagan’s Gap to the top of Cherry Knob and from Ledbetter Gap to the top of the ridge on Bay’s Ridge Road. Watch out for the rocks on the steep descent on River Mountain Road into Feagan’s Gap. Why would anyone want to do this? Stunning views of the entire region from River Mountain Road. Bountiful wildlife (deer, wild turkey, grouse) almost anywhere along the route. Lake vistas on the loop around the lake. And, of course, for the challenge.
Trail #2: Buffalo Mountain Park “Microwave Tower Run”. Length: 6 miles (give or take a bit). Three miles up and three miles back down. Start Point and Route: This out and back road and “trail” run starts near the JC Pine Oaks golf course. I usually park at one of the businesses at the intersection of Buffalo Road and Rolling Hills Drive (just south of the golf course). The run starts at the intersection of Buffalo Road and Rolling Hills Drive. Proceed south-west on Rolling Hills Drive. Pass under a railroad bridge and continue uphill to the intersection with Highridge Road. Turn right (west) onto Highridge Road and follow the road uphill into Buffalo Mountain Park. After you go though the park gate continue up the mountain on the paved park road (Highridge). At the first intersection, turn left onto the gravel road and continue to the top of Buffalo Mountain (about 1.5 miles). When you reach the microwave towers (and have no where further to climb) you are done! Turn around and come down the way you came up. Difficulty: Don’t ask. Approximately 1400 feet of elevation change in a bit less than three miles. Be careful on the steep, paved down-hill section coming out of the park - the asphalt can be very slippery early in the morning and on rainy or foggy days. Also let oncoming cars have the right of way when you are going under the railroad bridge-there is not a lot of room in the underpass for both runners and automobiles! Why would anyone want to do this? Fantastic views of Johnson City and Unicoi County – especially in the winter. Lots of wildlife (particularly deer) almost anywhere along the gravel road up Buffalo Mountain. Or because you are clinically insane.
Trail #3: Watauga Dam Run. Length: 7 miles. Start Point and Route: This out and back run starts on Highway 321 a few miles northeast of Hampton, TN near Shook Branch State Recreation and swimming beach on Watauga Lake. Keep a sharp eye out for the Appalachian Trail (AT) signs on Highway 321; they are small and easy to miss at 50+ mph! If you pass the State Recreation Area entrance, you have gone too far! The running route is pretty simple-you just follow the Appalachian Trail (AT) north from Highway 321 until you cross Watauga dam. Turn around and come back (or go further north on the AT toward the crest of Iron Mountain if you want a longer, more difficult, run). Difficulty: Easy to Moderate. Some short, steep climbs. As with most trail runs, roots, loose rocks and wet leaves can be hazardous to the unwary or unlucky. Why would anyone want to do this? Wonderful views of Watauga Lake, Iron and Pond Mountains – especially from the top of the dam. Abundant wildlife (deer, wild turkey, grouse, salamanders). Yummy blackberries in July. If it is warm, a post-run swim at the Rat Branch swimming area (just east of the trailhead) can be quite refreshing! Overall, one of the area’s prettiest runs.
Trail Running Tips By Rob Schoborg
Trail running is a fantastic way to take a break from all the pounding that your legs receive on the pavement. The change of scenery can also help you to maintain (or regain) mental freshness and perspective on your running. Finally, the challenging nature of most trails in this area can be excellent training for road
Split Times, page 7 events, particularly if you are looking for tough hill workouts. Trail running is a bit different from road running, however, so I have some recommendations that might be helpful if you are contemplating your first trail run.
1) Check out the route before you run it. Because of the slower surface, loose footing, steep hills, obstacles etc., trail running can be quite a challenge. This challenge can turn into a nightmare if you are not prepared for it! Before running any new trail, do some research. Read trail guides (if available), learn how to read and carefully examine topographical maps of the projected route and talk to others who have run/hiked the trail of interest. This should give you a good idea of any potential difficulties or dangers. If you have any doubts, hike the trail before deciding to run it. This is particularly important since maps and trail guides will not tell you about altered trail conditions, like rock slides, newly blown-down trees or creek crossings that are unsafe because of last weeks heavy rains. Your first trail run should be enjoyable-not a death march!
2) Be conservative about route mileage and difficulty. Most trail runs are more physically challenging than the equivalent distance would be on the average road route. Start out with shorter, flatter, less “technical” routes (those with fewer obstacles). The Creeper Trail in Abingdon. Virginia is ideal – you can run moderately flat, out and back runs of varied distance in beautiful surroundings. In fact, I run at least half of my long marathon training runs on the Creeper to lessen the impact on my knees and feet. If you elect to run in more difficult terrain, reduce your mileage accordingly until you gain experience and/or fitness. The most common injuries I have observed in trail running are turned ankles and falls due to fatigue at the end of a hard run. If you are conservative, you won’t be “blown out” at the end of your run. This makes you much less prone to drag a foot, catch a root and take a dirt dive.
3) Expect your pace to be slower and don’t worry about it! Trail running is generally slower than road running (just take a look at trail race times versus their road counterparts). You just can’t run as fast when you are coping with loose rocks, sand, roots and the occasional fallen tree. That’s OK, just relax and enjoy it! This is supposed to be fun – right?
4) Carry ample food, water and clothing. Over and over again, I see novice (and not so novice) trail runners head out the door without adequate sustenance or foul weather gear. The usual excuses are “I don’t like carrying stuff” and “It is only a five mile run”. Often they get away with it, but sometimes it turns out to be a big mistake. Add extreme heat, humidity, cold or precipitation to a short but difficult trail run and you have a recipe for heat stroke or hypothermia. This is not as big an issue on most road runs because you can usually find water stops or other assistance if you need it. However, there are few 7-11’s or pay phones out in the woods! I can tell you, from personal experience, that carrying a pound of food, water and clothing in a Camelback does not slow you down significantly – if it does, perhaps you need to run a bit slower or choose a less demanding trail! Alternatively, if you run with a group, you can beg “extra” food, water or clothing from another runner. Unfortunately, this presents its’ own set of problems. First, you could become separated from the other group members due to differences in ability or fitness. If someone else is carrying your water, what will you do if you become separated? At that point, your only choices are “go thirsty” or drink out of a nearby stream or puddle. Of course, this is a good way to come down with heat stroke (1st alternative) or Giardia (2nd alternative)! Second, sponging off of other runners (especially when you did not come prepared) can be both irritating and dangerous to the donor. After all, if you drink someone else’s water or eat their food, what do they do when they need it? Whether you run alone, or in a group, it is best to be prepared for harsh conditions. There are a bewildering array of running packs and hydration systems available, most for well under $100. Get a system that fits you well (no bouncing or chafing) and use it! I personally recommend the small Camelback fanny pack hydration systems for short and medium-length runs; they can carry 30-40 oz of water, a small First Aid pouch, a couple of “Gu” packs, gloves and a light rain jacket. For longer trips or winter outings (where you need to carry more food/water/clothing) the Ultimate Direction running packs can’t be beat; not only can they hold anything you are likely to take along (I can cram a light sleeping bag, pad, rain jacket, 6 PowerBars, First Aid pack and 72 oz of water into mine) but they are also incredibly comfortable and have an innovative sliding waist belt that allows unrestricted movement while running.
5) Run with a group. I have to admit that I do most of my trail runs alone. I prefer the solitude and the increased wildlife viewing possibilities that go along with solo trail runs. Having said that, I would recommend that a first-timer do their first few trail runs as part of a group, especially if the run is long, physically demanding and/or in a remote area. If you cannot find other runners to team up with, you could also have a cooperative Split Times, page 8 family member or friend ride their mountain bike along with you as you run. I would also recommend group running if you are going out in adverse weather conditions (such as heavy snow). Why? Because there will some else present to help (or go for help) if you become debilitated or incur a serious injury. Although the risk of serious injury is slight, it does exist. For example, I have had to stop to assist other injured runners in two of my last 5 trail marathons. If you don’t wish to (or can’t) run with a group, at very least make sure that someone reliable knows where you are going, what route you intend to take and when you plan to be back so they can alert the authorities if you don’t return on time.
6) Carry a small “first aid” kit. The operative word here is “small”. Unless you are going on a multi-day extreme outing, you don’t need to carry much. My primary goal is to carry items that, should I incur a minor injury or illness on the trail, will help me to: 1) get back to my car more easily/comfortably (so I can seek additional treatment) or 2) allow me to continue the run. Thus, I leave the air splints at home! My First Aid pack contents generally include the following: two Immodium and 2 Gas-X caplets (for GI distress), 3 or 4 different sized, pre-cut pieces of Moleskin (for blisters), 2 BandAids (1 large, 1 small), 1 small seal-a-meal pouch containing Vaseline (for chafing and blister prevention), 1 small pair of tweezers or a couple of long fingernails (ever finish try to finish a 10 mile run with a thorn in the side of your foot?), 1 or 2 electrolyte capsules (to prevent muscle cramps), 2 glucose tablets (in case you bonk) and, on more remote runs, 1 compression bandage and a short length of bandage tape. All this fits in a small “zip-lock” sandwich bag and weighs about 4 ounces. I have only used the contents of my first aid kit on a few runs, but when you need them, it can make the difference between having a good experience and a miserable one.
Finally, although I have emphasized the potential “risks” of trail running (as an impetus to encourage you to “be prepared”), the hazards are miniscule compared to the rewards. It is my hope that these suggestions will help you avoid some of the mistakes that I (and others) have made, thereby making your trail running experiences more rewarding. If anyone is interested in having some company on their trail runs, just contact me (the SplitTimes editor) using the phone number or email address listed on the inside front cover. Have fun and I hope to see you out on the trail!
Firecracker 4 Miler-Tennessee RRCA State Championship By Mark Skelton Firecracker 4 Miler Race Director [email protected]
The Firecracker 4 Miler Road Race was held on July 4th to kick off the Rogersville 4th of July Celebration. This race was sanctioned as the 4 Mile Tennessee RRCA State Championship by the Road Runners Club of America, with state champion awards presented to the top overall, top master, and top grandmaster, male and female. The race had 151 runners registered and was part of the State of Franklin Track Club King and Queen Competition. The top overall male state champion was Tommy Antenucci of Abingdon in a time of 21:57. The top overall female state champion was Allison Pastorek of Jonesborough in a time of 26:45.

Crazy 8’s 8K Road Race Kingsport, TN July 15, 2006
The 2006 version of the world’s fastest 8K is now history! This year’s race featured a new course – complete with one of the more exciting finishes I can remember.

Nicole and Jason Goodman
Nicole and Jason Goodman moved to the Tri-Cities last July when Jason accepted a position at Eastman. Within a few weeks of moving, they ran the Phipps Bend 5K and have been involved with SFTC ever since. They now serve as the membership chair for the club and can be seen running and volunteering in local events.
Nicole and Jason grew up in North Georgia and ran cross-country and track together. They graduated from Virginia Tech, and these high school sweethearts got married on the Tech campus three years ago. In addition to running, Nicole and Jason enjoy cycling, swimming, hiking, and backpacking. Jason recently rode in the Tour de Possum at Fun Fest, and Nicole is competing in her first triathlon in August. Nicole and Jason enjoy distance races and are hoping to complete their first marathon soon. One of their most memorable running experiences was trail running on the North Kaibab Trail in Grand Canyon National Park. Needless to say, with a 3500 ft elevation change over 4.5, miles, they ran on the way down and hiked on the way up! Jason and Nicole at the Grand Canyon (left) and Nicole cooling The Goodman family wouldn’t be down after a recent SFTC Summer Track Meet (right). complete without MacAfee, a 3-year old canine running machine. You can see MacAfee running circles around Nicole and Jason on training runs.
Happy racewalking to everyone! Sure has been a hot summer, so be careful when your out training. Go inside of your body temple and listen to the inner secrets of your body temple. When we are racewalking, it rarely occurs to us or to many athletes to become quiet and listen to the body’s inner language. The body will give us instant feed back in workouts and in races. The inward listening will help us to decide the best course of action in whatever we do.
For most of us, the lonesome path of a true champion is difficult. We need the assistance of friends and colleagues to keep us inspired; to help us get out there and do the workouts that are necessary to do our best.
Champions have coaches and if they are very fortunate, they have training partners and pacers too. Most of them have mentors and models of excellent achievement.
It is great to go out and train for distance with your friends and talk; it makes the time go fast and it is pleasurable. I remember walking the ten milers with Rosemary Sexton a few years ago. It seemed like the time passed so quickly.
Split Times, page 26 Remember to listen to your body at all times and spend some time in solitary training. It is easy to get swept up in the excitement of a race or other events in life and go out too fast, especially at the start and finish. It is difficult to always honor our own speed and destiny. We are sociable beings and we enjoy the company of others.
It is wise to consult your body before a workout- it may be hard to hear what it says with all the emotional fog that often surrounds us from all the conditioning we have received all our life-perhaps keeping a daily log of our heart rate before we get up in the morning would help. If it is higher than usual, that might be an indication of overtraining-time to have a fun day and take it easy.
If there are repeated injuries perhaps our body is trying to tell us something about our training schedule, our technique, our speed-listening to our body will give us wisdom in the future. Honoring our body will help it heal faster and patience with the process will make a stronger person of us.
Eat well, get enough rest, feed your mind and spirit with words of wisdom from your heart and from wise people, books and tapes.
Walk with skill and wisdom, walk with beauty above and below you and all around you. May you continue the year with good workouts. Again, listen to your body!
RACEWALKING TIPS
Calculate your steps per minute. What are your steps per minute? How long is each step? Do these all seem like strange questions? Not really strange, given this formula: pace= spm x each step. These are valid questions you should be asking yourself. You do speed work to increase your spm, and endurance/technique work to improve your form. You measure your time in training, your distance, and some of you even monitor your heart rate. So why not track your spm?
AMERICAN WAY USATF 5K RACEWALK CHAMPIONSHIPS
Don’t forget the National Championship coming October 7th. This will be the thirteenth year and the 26th National Championship Racewalk for Kingsport. A lot of planning is being put into the event. Our Committee members work very hard every year to make it the “best” in the USA. The race will begin Oct 7th at 8 am at Ramada Inn. We hope everyone is still out there walking and training real hard for this event. On Friday the 6th of Oct at 4:30 pm we will be having a free racewalk clinic presented by Jim Carmines, a National Masters Champion. We hope to have some course workouts beginning in August. Let me know if you are interested in joining us. Who knows? I might just get in the race this year and enjoy the competition with everyone. You can find information on our web page. www.kingsportracewalk.com
RACEWALK TRAINING CLASS
We will begin another five week racewalking class in September at the Kingsport Adult Education. The class will begin September 14th and end October 12th. Get your shoes out and come join us for some good training! We’ll be working on Technique and other parts of a good Training Program. So if you are interested just let the school know. The class will be held on Thursday nights from 7 till 9 and last for 5 weeks.
Remember, keep walking you never lose!!

Chasing The 5k PR By Hank Brown
Part 2 (of 3 parts)– Wooly Worms and Vampires!
As is so often the case in life, my wife's 5k PR chase wasn't going according to script. After the Spruce Pine Calamity, it was time to regroup. As Natalie (aka Scat) put it, "I'm lower than a snake's belly." That's not exactly the optimum mental state for peak performances.
The last few race attempts had been flame outs, either due to the heat or the hills, and Scat's confidence was shaken. Instead of challenging her best 5k times, she was in fact, running slower! What the heck was wrong?
We had a few more races on the schedule, so we tried to remain upbeat. Right now, however, she needed a little R&R from the racing scene. We scratched a planned 5k the next weekend and decided to take a little cerebral break.
I was looking forward to a weekend at home to catch up on some things around the house and yard. Well, Scat had other plans. She rules the internet; a Google geek who can find out anything about anything. Guess what she found? The Wooly Worm Woad Wace. Oh well, the yard can wait.
The WWWW is not your typical woad, er, road race. It's a 10 miler in the mountains of North Carolina. Yessir, you heard me. I was just a little west of apprehensive for this adventure – I had heard horror stories about this mountain race, but Scat talked me into it.
"Oh c'mon, it will be fun," she pleaded. "And I bet they have a cute t-shirt."
Anything with a creature in the title of the race gets her entry fee - The Floppin Flounder 5k, the Coon Dog Days 5k, the Flying Pig Half Marathon, and now… the Wooly Worm Woad Wace. So what if we have to run over a mountain to get that worm, it will be worth it!
We decided to just take it easy, run together, and "enjoy the scenery." After a conservative start in which we were just a backwards glance ahead of last place, we gradually moved up through the pack. Around mile 2 we started THE CLIMB.
The next 4-5 miles go up. And up. And up. We switched back and forth and forth and back so much I thought I was going to run into myself. We were grinding it out, making progress, and even catching a few people. We trudged along, and never walked even though at times our trek resembled a mountain hike rather than a road race.
There were two ladies just ahead of us who were on a run/walk schedule during the ascent. They pulled ahead of us while running, but we would catch back up on their walk breaks. Their plan was working well for them, but I could tell this accordion session was a little disconcerting to Natalie. After about the 10th repetition Split Times, page 31 of cat and mouse, I looked over at her and saw it. That look! She didn't say a word, but I knew the race was on!
We finally crested the top between miles 6 and 7 and started our steep descent. Scat is a torrid downhill runner so I knew what was coming. We were rolling down the mountain like a truck with no brakes. I was looking around for a runaway truck ramp in case we needed it! It didn't take long to catch and pass the two ladies and put a little gap on them. They pursued but Scat dug in and held her position. When we finished, we found out that Natalie was the 3rd overall female.
Scat was rejuvenated and officially out of her funk. It was time to find a 5k and kick some beehiney! Next up was the Flight of the Vampire 5k in Brevard, NC the weekend of Halloween. This was a midnight race complete with people in costumes and masks, but we were all business – we came dressed to race. We had heard the course had a "monster" hill near the end, which sufficiently frightened us when we drove up and over it on our course tour.
With no mile splits, and only a handful of course monitors, I felt a terrifying sense of vertigo running through the frosty, black night. Nonetheless I eventually found my way to the monstrous hill and to the finish. I was surprised to learn I finished 4th overall, because I literally couldn't see the runners ahead of me. I felt like I had run pretty fast but my finish time betrayed me. Oh well…
I jogged up the course a little ways and waited anxiously for Scat to crest the monster. In my post-race delusion I had forgotten to count the number of females ahead of Scat. Now that I think about it, I don't think I had seen any. And then she appeared - flying down the hill! Was she in 1st place? I think so, but someone was right behind her. Was it another girl? I couldn't tell! Like most of the other runners on this chilly night, her pursuer was wearing a hat and enough garments to stock the local Goodwill.
"Go, go, GO!" I screamed. "She's right behind you! Go, go, GO!!"
Scat zoomed by, and was quickly swallowed up by the dark, but I managed to see her squeeze across the finish line ahead of her hunter. She won! I think. I really think she won the women's race. Natalie had never won a race! Cool!
I caught up to her after she passed through the finish chute, and she confirmed she was indeed the first female. She was pretty jazzed – it still wasn't a PR, but it was faster than her previous few races, and most importantly - She won the Vampire!
We shivered and shook as we anxiously stood through the awards ceremony. I was proud of Natalie because she had trained hard and deserved her few seconds in the spotlight. We waited patiently as they went through all the women's age groups and handed out pumpkin trophies. Then the men's age groups. Then the costume contest. We shivered. We froze. I put my arms around her for some body heat.
"And now for the overall winner."
Finally! They called up the overall male winner and gave him his pumpkin.
"Well, that's all. We'll see you all next year. Thank you for coming!"
Natalie and I looked at each other in disbelief. Hey, what happened? Surely they just forgot to give out the 1st female award. So, Natalie approached the lady in charge and asked about it. She was told that they just had an award for the WINNER of the race, who of course just happened to be a male. Huh?
We left and tried to laugh it off, but there was no hiding Scat's disappointment. She's not a trophy hound, but hey, you don't win a race everyday so this one would have been a little more special than the other plastic running figures sitting on our mantle. So, we left Brevard slightly bittersweet.
So, our quest for a 5k PR was still an ongoing expedition. The last two races had been positive experiences, and Scat was making good progress. But we were running out of time, and only had a couple of chances left.
See you on the back streets.
End of Part 2 (3 part series) Stay tuned for Part 3 – Turkeys Trot and Reindeers Romp!
Split Times, page 32 Group Runs in the Tri-cities Area
5 PM “Bank” Runs in Johnson City (By Steve Pastorek):
A group of 3-8 runners meets in the parking lot of First Tennessee Bank across State of Franklin Ave from the East Tennessee State University minidome (at the south entrance of the VA Campus) @ 5:15pm Monday – Thursday (and sometimes Friday). Most of us are training for various marathons. Our workouts often follow the following format: Monday- 7 to 9 miles, Tuesday- speed work at the Science Hill outdoor track or trails, Wednesday- usually an easy day (especially if we are racing or doing a long run on Saturday). General pace varies from 7 to 8 minutes/mile with some runners running up to 9 minute miles. Our group is growing and we would like to have more people come out. We do run on the roads so you need to dress accordingly- if you think you will be out after dark (a pretty long run at this time of year), make sure and bring a reflective vest! Email Rob Schoborg at [email protected] if you have any questions. Hope to see you out on the run!

David will send an email blast to SFTC members so they'll be aware of the discount. SFTC Scholarship/Grant Program: Rob Schoborg explained the rough draft of the Scholarship/Grant Program. There was some discussion about limits, how many scholarships/grants would be given, etc.. The Board is to email Rob with any suggestions. Rob will continue to work on the rough draft.

July 6th, 2006 6:30pm - Eastman Employee Center: Board Members present: Mark Skelton, Bob Townsend, David Sullivan, Nicole and Jason Goodman, Allison and Steve Pastorek, Matthew Studholme, Eric Fields, David and Brenda Fox. Minutes from the June 1, 2006, Board Meeting were reviewed and approved by the Board. Report from the Treasurer, Eric Fields: Assets total $17,236.78. David Fox mentioned the recent TSSAA ruling about High School Cross Country Team Members not being allowed to run 5K races during Cross Country season. David Mills has requested to speak to the SFTC Board at the August meeting regarding racewalk events in the area. Discussion regarding what SFTC can do to help encourage long-distance races in the area and treat all races fairly. Discussion centered around providing assistance in course certification fees. The board voted to reimburse up to $300 of a course certification fee under the following criteria: 1) the race must be 10 miles or more, 2) the race must be a new race, a one-time recertification, or 10 year renewal, 3) The race would be a local race (Board would define "local" at time of request), 4) Financial support from SFTC would be dependent on SFTC having funds available, 5) Reimbursement for the cost of certification of the course will be paid on completion of the race and 6) The Board will review annually the continuation of this support. Bob Townsend has researched having a club event at a Greeneville Astros game. Cost would be $13 per person. Included in the price is buffet dinner before the game, plus the cost of a ticket for the game. Bob will research dates and send an email blast to SFTC to plan the event. David Fox will also check on possibility of doing the same for a KMets game. The board voted to spend up to $200 for a baseball event, or $5 per person. Members will be responsible for remainder of cost. The board discussed the pros and cons of the Bays Mountain Trail Run being SFTC owned. No decision reached. Mark Skelton will discuss with Bays Mountain staff. Minutes submitted by secretary, Brenda Fox.
