MARATHON: MORE THAN JUST A RACE The 37th Annual Rocket City Marathon will be run this December. Having directed it for the first 20 years Louise and I have had many people over the years tell us how it influenced their life. Going through some old papers I came across an that makes that point and also illustrates the value of the Huntsville Track Club and just what being a volunteer can mean. Here is an excerpt from that ...i am always anxious to read the HTC News each issue. I am a lucky guy to have stumbled into the Huntsville Track Club. After watching the 1977 Joe Steele Rocket City Marathon come by East Clinton School, I went straight back home and put on my Converse Allstar basketball shoes and started a jogging program. I ran two whole blocks that first time. I remember after 3 months, I ran 20 minutes without stopping for the first time. By August, I completed my first 10K in Decatur. Then in 1978, I entered the Marathon just to see how far I could run. I made it 20 miles and went home, went to bed and did not get up until just before church the next day. The next week, I could not walk up or down stairs very well, but I knew I was hooked. In 1979, I finished the Marathon a few minutes behind Louise. I have always been so impressed by the professionalism in the way the HTC conducts its races. When HTC NEWS

14 you asked me to run for President, I could not even speak before a crowd. But no one can say "no" to you. That experience in public speaking helped me at work, church and the other organizations that I have been involved with. Lawrence Hillis, past HTC President and director of Cotton Row Run for 6 years with a 32:36 10K PR in the 1983 Cotton Row Run. There was another person who watched the first Rocket City Marathon in 1977 who not only became an outstanding runner, but has contributed immensely to the success of the HTC for the last 37 years. That person is Jim Oaks who was the tennis coach at Huntsville High School at that time and also an outstanding tennis player. It changed his sport as both a coach and participant. For all of you who have volunteered for the marathon and other club events your service has been measured beyond just to the success of the event you supported it has made a positive change in many peoples lives in various ways. THANKS. HAVE YOU VOLUNTEERED LATELY? A meta-analysis of five long term studies published in August reported that people who volunteered were, on average, 22 percent less likely to die over a period of four to seven years than similar people who didn t volunteer. Helping others may lower some well-known cardiovascular risk markers, says study author Hannah Schreier, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. - Parade Magazine. SAY NO TO SPORTS DRINKS That is unless you are an endurance athlete. Swiss researchers reviewed thousands of studies that have been published on sports and concluded these beverages boost performance only for people exercising intensely for more than 70 minutes straight. For the rest of us, the drinks could have drawbacks: A 2010 study found that people who consume one or two sugarsweetened beverages per day are 26 percent more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than people who drink fewer than one per month. Plus, a 2012 study reported that these drinks can erode tooth enamel because of their high acidity. - Parade Magazine. MARY CAIN HS GIRL ATHLETE OF YEAR The December issue of Track & Field News included the 2013 High School Annual which provides the top five selections for all boys and girls high school events, the top 25 best times/distances for all events, and their selection of the High School Boy and Girl Athlete of the Year. It was no secret as to who would be the girl selection for The magazine included a two page article about Mary Cain written by Sid Lindstrom which began as follows: IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING: Girls Athlete Of The Year Mary Cain s 13 season stood out like none before it. Cain had the top time in all 6 distance events and all were high school records. Following the time in () below is the time difference between her time and the second best time. Most were by an amazingly wide margin, but so were the margins relative to the old record for most of the records she set. There has just never been anyone like Mary Cain and she was just a high school junior. In the article she stated she would not turn pro and would go to college and get her degree after high school. You can bet there will be plenty of scholarship offers. 800 Meters, 1:59.51 (3.81) First sub 2-minute time by a female high school athlete Mile, 4:24.19 (11.29) - First sub 4:30 time by a female high school athlete 1500 Meters, 4:05.62 (10.45) 3000 Meters, 9:02.10 (29.08) 2 Miles, 9:38.68 (22.62) 5000 Meters, 15:45.56 (10.38) I failed to note in the last issue that Cain did make it to the finals at the World Championships finishing 10th in the 12 runner field. Her heat time was 4:08.21, semifinal time was 4:05.21 and finals time was 4: Having just turned 17 I don t think she had the mileage base to run 3 allout races in 5 days as did the pro athletes she was competing against. Not only that, the main thing coach Alberto Salazar was working on with her over the spring and summer was her running form which still needs work. This is what the article quoted Cain saying about her form now that the World Championships are over. HTC NEWS

15 There are certain inherent things I do that probably could lead to certain problems down the road. I sit too much when I run and, of course, I have the arm-swing thing going on. So there s no hurry right now. I m just working it up one mile at a time up until I get to the point where it sticks. To be honest, that s going really, really well right now. Never-the-less it was one for the ages as no one believed she could get to the finals against the best 1500 meter runners in the world, and she beat 2 of them in the finals and a whole lot more in her heat and semifinal races.

Earlier this year Runner s World Newswire reported: The Raleigh city council capped at 100 the number of race permits it would grant in a year. That move was designed to ease residents' complaints that road races were increasingly interfering with weekend traffic, including to churches, and business. A more recent RWN article by Scott Douglas stated, According to The News & Observer, proponents of the new city positions say the cap hasn't met that goal. As The News & Observer reports, the Raleigh city council is looking at creating a new special events office, consisting of two event coordinators and an administrative assistant. Proponents of the new positions say they're necessary because the city lacks a single point of contact to oversee race-permit applications, coordinate city services, field calls from residents affected by street closures, and other aspects of Raleigh's road racing scene. Obviously adding city employees to manage road races doesn t come without a price that I m sure will be passed on to the races they manage. Larger races with a significant out-oftown participation such as the Rocket City Marathon and to some extent Cotton Row Run, Huntsville Half Marathon and Mountain Mist are a boost to the local economy including a tax benefit to the local governments. At a recent HTC Board Meeting it was noted that on one recent weekend there were 5 road races in the immediate area with 3 of them being in Huntsville. There are also 3 races listed in the Other Races Calendar on the HTC website for November 23 that are either in Huntsville or Madison and 2 others in the local area for that date. We have been fortunate here in Huntsville with the excellent support we have from City government and the outstanding cooperation of the Police Department. However, with so many races, many of them relatively small primarily local participation, I worry that we may wear out our welcome. Multiple small 5K races on the same day is simply dividing up the available race participants which is of little value to the running public compared to the cost to support the races when they provide minimal financial benefit to business, HTC NEWS

16 doesn t expand the tax base, and is an nuisance to the driving public and residents and businesses that may be inconvenienced. Just something to think about. RRM RACE DIRECTOR OF THE YEAR [Editor s Note: The following is from Road Race Management News Release 11/7/13] A committee made up of race directors, athletes, media, corporate executives and club officials has named Jerry Frostick, Co-Director of the Yuengling Shamrock Marathon Weekend (Virginia Beach, VA), the MarathonFoto/Road Race Management Race Director of the Year. Frostick was honored at a reception at the Road Race Management Race Directors Meeting in Hollywood, FL on November 7. The award is presented by Electric City Printing. From a large and very impressive international field of well-qualified candidates, Frostick emerged as the winner, said Road Race Management President Phil Stewart. Described by Bill Rodgers as the Gold Medal of race directing, the award is one of the most prestigious honors in the sport of road racing. During Frostick s ten years as a leader of the Shamrock Sportsfest, the event grew from a regional event with 3,000 participants to a nationally recognized running weekend with 28,000 participants. But his work didn t stop there; he directs half a dozen other successful events in the Tidewater, Virginia area, he has promoted kids running, he has raised thousands of dollars for charity through all of his events, and he coaches runners and triathletes. Jerry Frostick is the complete package and is a most deserving recipient of the Road Race Management/MarathonFoto Race Director of the Year award for 2013, added Stewart in making the presentation.

Don Kardong was the keynote speaker in 1996 for the Huntsville Track Club s Twenty-fifth Anniversary Celebration Awards Banquet held at the Huntsville Hilton.] As a highlight of the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Road Race Management Race Directors Meeting, Don Kardong was announced as the first ever MarathonFoto/Road Race Management Lifetime Achievement Award winner. The award was made for contributions to the sport of long distance road running over the course of a lifetime. Scores of nominations were received that read like a Who s Who of running. The 10-member committee had the difficult task of reviewing the nominees and reducing the field to four finalists. In addition to Kardong, the finalists were Fred Lebow, former New York Marathon Director; Dave McGillivray, Director of the Boston Marathon and many other events; and Gar Williams, former RRCA and DC Road Runners President who founded the Credit Union Cherry Blossom Race and reinvigorated the RRCA. We were seeking to honor a significant game changer a person who really made a difference, said Phil Stewart, editor and publisher of Road Race Management. Don Kardong is a most worthy winner of HTC NEWS

17 Road Race Management s Lifetime Achievement award because he has shaped every corner of the world of organized distance running, he added. The award was presented at the annual Road Race Management Race Directors Meeting at the keynote dinner November 8 in Hollywood, FL. In presenting the award, Jeff Darman, a former RRCA President, recent USATF board member and long-time race director said, Don played a major role in helping to establish the open prize money system for road races. As President of the Association of Road Racing Athletes (ARRA), he led a powerful and courageous coalition of race directors and elite athletes who risked eligibility and who stood up to the powerful NGB and eventually changed the system. He went on to many other leadership roles in TAC (now USATF) and the RRCA and at each stop elevated the sport to another level and left it in a better place. Now President of PRRO, the Professional Road Running Organization, he leads a circuit of races in the forefront of aggressive drug testing, self-funded by each circuit event, in an attempt to make and keep our sport clean. It is fair to say his experience as an athlete, a race founder, race director, a leader and a writer stand unparalleled. Road Race Management ( is a member-based organization that publishes a newsletter and many other publications designed for race and industry professionals, and conducts a prestigious annual national race directors meeting and trade show in Florida.

WORLD MARATHON RECORD: 2:03:23 In recent marathons the New York City Marathon had a record 50,740 participants, the top two finishers in the Chicago Marathon was the first marathon to have two finishers under 2:04 [Dennis Kimetto (Kenya) 2:03:45 and Emmanuel Mutai (Ethiopia) 2:03:52], but it was the Berlin Marathon that got the World Record [Wilson Kipsang (Kenya) 2:03:23]. IS MARATHON CHARITY ON THE WANE It s interesting to note that while the New York City Marathon had a record 50,740 participants, the number of charity participants were down by about 3000 according to an article on Runner's World Newswire by Michelle Hamilton. Despite aggressive recruitment efforts, which included extending registration for charity runners by six weeks, thousands of charity spots will go unused at the New York City Marathon. To help the situation, NYRR produced a TV spot featuring a number of its nonprofit partners, advertised on athletic websites like Active.com, and shouted out via social media that runners could still enter the race through charity, according to (Michael) Rodgers. NYRR estimates the revenue loss for its nonprofit partners at $11 to $14 million, compared to 2010 and 2012 figures. That number jumps to $14 to $17 million when compared to funds raised in 2011, the program s most profitable year, when more than 9,000 runners raised $34 million for charity. It was a long article noting which charities were affected and by how much, and significant speculation as to why this occurred. Some blamed Superstorm Sandy resulting in the marathon not being held in 2012 and being frustrated with the race organizers last year over how that played out. Allison Hauser (executive director of Girls on the Run NYC) isn t sure if the runner shortage is due to Sandy. Maybe, she says. But the primary deterrent for the runners she talked to was the $3,000 minimum fundraising amount set by NYRR. (Minimums range from $2,500 to $3,500 depending on level of partnership.) Another long article Hitting the Wall: For Marathon Charities, Numbers Are Slowing by Mary Pilon, published October 24, 2013 in The New York Times had a more bleak view. Here are some excerpts from that article. But some race and nonprofit organizers are worried that after years of booming, the charity-running industry may be wheezing like a runner at Mile 25. It s been a tough year, to say the least, said Alyssa Franklin, YAI s manager of individual giving and donor communications. She added, I m worried we could actually lose money this year. George A. Hirsch, the chairman of the board for New York Road Runners, the marathon organizer, said the fact that run- HTC NEWS

18 ning-related fund-raising was also slumping outside New York was a concern. It s very hard, I believe, to do that year after year, he said. You re coming back to your same pool of friends. There s a lot of excitement the first time you say, Will you come and contribute to me for my charity? The second and third year, I think it gets harder to do that. It s a commitment, a real responsibility you take on to the charity. While there are many repeat runners, getting repeat fund-raisers may be part of what is exhausting the model, said Patrick Rooney, an associate dean at Indiana University s School of Philanthropy. We could be looking at a reversal in the mind-set around these events, he said. I don t think it will go away, but it may stabilize at a level, compared with the dramatic growth we ve seen over the years. Interestingly, this is not the first time charities have found a pot of gold in road racing only to find a few years later the pot going empty. It first occurred in the late 1970s when the first so called running boom was first starting. The format was a bit different back then. The race would be put on to benefit a charity, much as many are today, but instead of paying a set fee the entrants would receive a pledge sheet along with the entry form and those pledges would be the entry fee. Pledges were often based on so much pledged for each mile run. The participants with the most funds pledged receive a donor award. The current Monte Sano 15K race the HTC still conducts started as such a race to benefit the American Cancer Society in It was much the same course as today except it started and finished at the Monte Sano Grade School. The first year with the excitement of a new race and the opportunity to support a good cause there was a good turnout (such as it was back then) and a lot of funds raised through pledges. The excitement waned a bit when the race was days in the past and the pledges had to be collected. The second year participation and pledges were down. The third year we kept the pledge concept but also allowed runners to just pay an entry fee just to get participation back up. As you would guess most took the second option and the pledge concept was dropped for the 1984 race and it was no longer a charity fund raiser. The Huntsville Half Marathon began as the Rocket City 20K Road Race in 1978 running from Monte Sano Grade School coming down Bankhead Parkway to finish downtown in Big Spring Park. It moved off the mountain to Grissom High School and became the American Heart Association Rocket City 20K in It lasted through the 1983 race as a charity race. It reverted back to the Rocket City 20K in 1984 and changed to the current half-marathon distance in There have been a number of locations and courses for this race. There were two other charity races put on by the club in the early years. The March of Dimes 25K Road Race in 1978 and the Trot for Tots 3 Mile Cross Country Run in The 25K was a disaster lasting only one year and the Trot for Tots had great participation for that time (about 750 if I remember correctly) but did not raise enough funds to satisfy the charity and their sponsors, thus it also lasted only one year. We had 2350 participants in Cotton Row Run that year and the charity was expecting similar a number even though we had told them they would not get that type for participation for a 3 mile race on the cross country course at the old airport. The Liz Hurley Ribbon Run 5K began 10 years ago with about 200 runners. The Huntsville Hospital Foundation put on a great race for the runners and was willing to give it time to grow and have done an outstanding marketing job. This year there were 6594 (5027 women and 1567 men) entrants and it has become a major success. There are many charity races all over the nation following a similar format that have been very successful now for decades. I don t believe charity races using the pledge concept can be sustained and the latest concept reported at the beginning of this article seems to indicate that is what will happen. HARDCOPY NEWSLETTER PAYS OFF At one time I exchanged newsletters with more than 160 other clubs, some newsletters were good and some not so good. But HTC NEWS

19 as clubs have gone to newsletters that number is now well less than 50. There are a lot of good reasons to exchange newsletters that I won t get into here. Most went to e-letters quietly, but several played out the battle in their newsletters while they were still hardcopy. I have been noticing significant membership increases in the Knoxville Track Club, Memphis Runners Track Club, Gulf Winds Track Club (Tallahassee, FL) and Twin Cities Track Club (Winston-Salem, NC). All four publish excellent (meaning there is good information to read even if you aren t in their club) hardcopy newsletters. Those clubs also have excellent programs and are well managed. I decided to look back over time to see if other clubs were doing as well, especially those that no longer publish a hardcopy newsletter. I decided to look at 30 clubs for which I had their number of members in my database from about 7 years ago and compared that to what those 30 clubs list as their number of members now on the RRCA website (it s the number of members they currently pay RRCA membership dues for household memberships). What I found out was shocking: 4 clubs had more than tripled membership, 4 others had more than doubled, 7 had held about the same, and 15 had lost membership. More had lost members than clubs that had gained members and we are in what is being called the second running boom. While a lot of things go into a successful club (strong membership and good events), I believe communicating with their members is one of the most productive. My survey is not a scientific one, but it is interesting that most of those clubs that have lost members no longer provide a hardcopy newsletter and the ones that do publish a hardcopy newsletter, are the ones growing their membership.

21 The times they are a changing. There has been a lot of talk lately in national articles as well as locally here in our great running community about today's runner s speed versus the runners speed in the past. Arguments rage on as to the reasons why, but the facts cannot be denied. The average runner today is slower than the average runner was 10, 20, or more years ago. I have my thoughts on this that I'll keep to myself but something else that can t be denied is that there are just more people running today all around. I think this is a great thing. The running "boom" that Frank Shorter started 30 odd years back is still going strong, if not stronger than ever. And with a new "couch to 5k" program seemingly popping up every other week, pretty soon the whole country will be "out for a run". Of course this is all music to the ears of the president of a running club. More runners mean more members which means the more things we can do for our community. I tend to grumble at times due to all the work that it brings but I must say it is a great time to be in my position. Another trend I see that goes right along with this is the desire to run longer and longer races. As many of my friends like to say, "Back in the day..." a marathon was a really, really long run. I mean only the truly dedicated (or truly insane, depending on your perspective) would run a marathon. Heck a 5k is considered a "long distance run" in Track and Field; the marathon is just a fringe sport. Well today, people show up in the thousands to run a marathon. Just PRESIDENT S ADDRESS By Eric Fritz, HTC President last weekend the ING New York Marathon had a record breaking 50,720 runners toe the line. What is this fascination with running further and further? I can't say for everyone else but I will share my own experience. Personally when I started running I did not have much choice. I started running later in life and immediately became in love with trail running. Unfortunately, at that time, the only trail races available in the local area were 50k in distance. So right from the beginning I started training for Ultra distance races. In hindsight though, I believe everyone wants to be good at something. By running further, I can get the feeling of "I can do what you can't". I believe that this feeling is very similar to the feeling that the Josh Whitehead's, Brandon York's and all the other really fast guys in our club get when they go win a race. Sure, I don't win the races I enter no matter how long the distance, I can still somehow get that feeling. Perhaps its arrogance, perhaps I'm just self absorbed but I do think that self recognition is important in many a runner and many are now seeming to find that in longer and longer races. Am I encouraging everyone to go out and run a 50k or 50 mile run? Absolutely not. I'm just musing about the evolution of our sport. I find it interesting. But should you have a free day during one of our longer races this winter, give a thought to reaching out to one of the race directors and volunteer. You'll be amazed at what you will see people do from the first one to cross the finish to the last.

23 HUNTSVILLE TRACK CLUB MEETING MINUTES Eric Fritz for Joey Butler, HTC Secretary HTC EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING September 24, 2013 Board Members Present: Eric Fritz (President), Harold Tinsley (VP Communications), Joey Butler (Secretary), Kathy Youngren (Treasurer), Dink Taylor (VP Races and Equipment), Karen Gelmis (VP Programs), Jim Oaks (Appointed Member Past Board Member) and Suzanne Taylor (Appointed Member Co- Rocket City Marathon Director). The Huntsville Track Club held an executive board meeting on September 5, 2013 at Fleet Feet Sports. Eric opened the meeting at 7:15. The primary topic of the meeting was the Rocket City Marathon. Changes for 2013 include the following: Adding 3 charities. Trying to find more sponsors. Adding the Kid s Marathon. Monaco is the title sponsor for this. Need more spirit teams. Runners will have to complete a short survey from the Convention and Visitor s Bureau in order to receive their race packet. The purpose of the questions is to better understand the economic impacts of the marathon. Trying to increase the city s involvement. Board members have already met with the visitor s bureau and plan to meet with Tommy Battle and the GIS commission. Possible Changes for 2014 discussed include: Moving the race to a different course. There were several reasons to look at a different course (construction downtown, the city s desire to have race go by more of the tourist type areas of town, allowing more participants, etc.). Using the civic center for the expo, start, and finish. Using the Space and Rocket Center for the expo, start, and finish. Eric and Suzanne presented a couple of course ideas. All are 2 loop courses HTC NEWS (13.1 mile loops). **Post race note It was recently announced that the current host site for the marathon (Holiday Inn) will close on December 15 and the site will be demolished. A course change will now be required. The next topic was the General Meeting. The meeting will be October 2 at the Monte Sano Lodge. Mayor Tommy Battle will be the guest speaker. We will block off an hour for him to talk and answer questions. Cookie Dash update. Concern was about parking. The host church (Rivertree) is adding on and parking will be impacted for the next 16 months. We are looking to move the course. Eric and Dink have mapped out a course that starts a Hampton Cove Elementary and runs through Hampton Cove. Eric will run that idea by the police and Hampton Cove Home Owners Association. A backup course could be the Running of the Bulls course. Rivertree church would still be involved with race. The meeting adjourned at 9:00. HTC GENERAL CLUB MEETING October 2, 2013 The Huntsville Track Club held a General Meeting on 10/2/13 at the Monte Sano Lodge. Approximately 100 guests were in attendance to listen to Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle discuss Healthy Huntsville. Huntsville is a self-insured city government and the Healthy Huntsville initiative was initially started to make city employees healthier and thus save the city money. The initiative started with the Mayor s Bike Ride and expanded to activities in Big Spring Park including Zumba, yoga, TRX, and running. Over time this effort has expanded to all residents of Huntsville. The Mayor shared a slogan used when recruiting industry and workers to Huntsville. Huntsville A Smart Place to Live, Work, and Play. The focus for the HTC meeting

24 was where to play. The city currently has 32 miles of greenways with approximately 220 more miles in the planning stages. There are currently 52 parks in the city including softball, tennis, running, and disc golf parks. The Mayor shared that the city is actively working to provide more greenways, bike paths, ball fields, and parks in order to make Huntsville a fun place for current and prospective residents. His message was well received by those in attendance. HTC EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING October 29, 2013 Board Members Present: Eric Fritz (President), Harold Tinsley (VP Communications), Kathy Youngren (Treasurer), Dink Taylor (VP Races and Equipment), Jim Oaks (Appointed Member Past Board Member) and Suzanne Taylor (Appointed Member Co- Rocket City Marathon Director). Board Members Absent: Karen Gelmis (VP Programs) and Joey Butler (Secretary) The Huntsville Track Club held an executive board meeting on October 29, 2013 at I Love Sushi. Eric opened the meeting at 6:45 The first topic was the HTC Awards: The board discussed and voted on the different award winners. It was decided that due to the lack of HTC student members who compete and the fact that not all local schools attend the Metro Meet that we will not award the Outstanding High School Cross Country runners this year. The board discussed the meeting date. Karen would like to move the meeting to December and make it more of a Christmas Party, however with the Marathon going on the 2nd week of December and the ensuing Christmas activities that follow, everyone felt it best to keep it in November at this point. The board agreed to push the date back to the 3rd Tuesday in November (11/19) pending availability of a facility. Discussed Cookie Dash race. The board approved the new course that runs roads from Hampton Cove Elementary and through Hampton Cove subdivision. The board also approved a price increase from $10 to $15 for the race. The race lost some money last year that will be covered by new sponsorship this year, however it will have the added expense of chip timing as well. Randy McFarland requested to change the entry fee for the New Year's Day Fun Runs. The city has changed the requirements for the facility that is used for the runs whereby special approval is required from the city to have the facility rental fee waived if the event participants are charged an entry fee. Therefore, he feels the best thing to do is to make the event free and accept donations. This may also help increase participation/attendance of the event. The board approved this motion. HUNTSVILLE TRACK CLUB DUES NOTICES WILL BE MAILED IN EARLY DECEMBER HTC NEWS

25 By Christy Scott, Fitness on the Move, LLC, HTC Member What exactly is the core? Most people think that the core muscles are just your abs, but there is more to it than that. The core includes all of the muscles that surround your torso, including the muscles of the hips. CORE TRAINING FOR RUNNERS Pull the abdominals in tight and hold for seconds. Repeat this exercise twice. If this puts too much pressure on your lower back, drop the knees to the ground. Side plank: Why are these muscles important as a runner? There are several reasons to strengthen your core: 1. Better endurance. Typically, in a longer distance event, when we begin to fatigue, our form begins to suffer. If you can strengthen the core muscles, you will hold onto good form longer, thus improving your performance. 2. Lessen your chance of injury. Strong bodies lead to better form, which leads to fewer injuries. 3. Improves your posture. Not only does this help in the running world, but in your real life as well. Unfortunately, most people don t start thinking about their posture until it starts to deteriorate. I incorporate postural exercises with all of my clients, no matter how young or old. It s never too early to start. 4. For trail runners, having a strong core helps with balance and agility while navigating over rough, uneven terrain. If you are already a trail runner, can you remember when you first started running the trails and how you were confused as to why your abs were sore after the first one? I can! There are many ways to work the core without doing the old sit ups that we did back in elementary school. Here are a few exercises to try: Basic plank: Keep the body in a nice, straight line, keeping the chin pulled in and neck aligned with the spine. Hold for seconds one each side. Repeat this exercise twice on each side. TRX suspended crunch: The TRX is one of my favorite pieces of equipment! It uses your bodyweight and you can increase/decrease the intensity of the exercises by simply changing the angle of your body. For this exercise, you will hold a plank position with your feet in the foot cradles, then pull the knees into the chest. Repeat this exercise for repetitions. Repeat this exercise twice. Seated torso rotations: You can use a medicine ball, a dumbbell or weight plate for resistance. Sit up tall, lean back with a long spine, then rotate slowly from side to side. Try to touch the floor each time you rotate. Repeat this times on each side. Repeat this exercise HTC NEWS

26 twice. If you want to increase intensity, pick the feet up off the floor or try it sitting on top of a BOSU. These exercises can be done 2-3 times per week, preferably on non-running days.

27 Many of our club members will be running the Rocket City Marathon or one of the many other marathons this fall, winter and spring. You have been training for months and put in many miles on the roads in preparation. Obviously the physical training is a basic requirement to run a successful marathon. Also, to assure success, you should be mentally prepared. While training for my first marathon in 2000, I painstakingly planned tempo runs; speed and hill sessions; long, slow days; and recovery runs. Afterwards I carefully documented each of those workouts in my training log, noting the weather conditions, what went well, and what I could have done better. Yet the night before the marathon, I panicked when I realized I had absolutely no idea how I was going to mentally tackle the upcoming 26.2 miles. For all the time I had spent training my body for my first marathon, I had spent zero time preparing my mind for the race. Sound familiar? David D. Knapp, Ph.D., a certified personal trainer and coach who has now completed over 50 marathons. [From Oklahoma Sports & Fitness magazine, July/August, Additional quotes in this article authored by David Knapp are from an article in OS&F.] Hopefully the marathon training plan you have been following established short range goals leading to the long range goal which is to finish the marathon and in a time for which the training plan has prepared you to run. By consistently meeting the short range goals builds confidence and a positive mental state when you toe the starting line. If this is not your first marathon you are probably aware that a lot of things can go wrong during the marathon and you have a better mental approach going into this one. But if this is your first marathon you too should have a mental plan that will give you confidence that will allow you to meet your goal and enjoy the marathon experience. Set reasonable goals intermediate goals that add up to the ultimate goal. Jim Beatty, ran world s first sub-4:00 mile indoors. [From Runner s World Training Log, Additional quotes in this article authored by Budd L. Coates are from MARATHON MENTAL PREPARATION By Harold Tinsley HTC NEWS RWTL] Smart goals are specific, measurable, realistic, written out, and should have a deadline or time frame. David Yukelson, Ph.D., Penn State University sports psychologist. RWTL Actually the mental preparation should begin during the training phase. During your training you have become aware that some days you have a bad run. We can chalk some of them up to the weather that was too hot, humid, windy or cold; or some other physical factor. But they also occur when conditions seem ideal and the question is why? That question needs to be answered to minimize reoccurrence. Why? Because, just like you can have a bad training run, you can also have a bad race even if the weather is ideal. A bad run or race may be caused by stress, muscle fatigue, lack of sleep, poor nutrition or your immune system was fighting a virus. To have a successful race you MUST follow a planned taper to eliminate the chance of muscle fatigue resulting from the extensive training you have endured during the mileage buildup to the marathon. Hopefully the training plan you have been following includes a taper based on the build-up and the stabilization phases for your level of running (goal time). I ran the Chicago Marathon one year. I was in the top 10 at 20 miles, but had no legs the last 10K. I think it was because I didn t rest enough going into it. I did too many weeks of really high mileage and just wore myself down by the time I got to the race. Dennis Barker, Team USA Minnesota coach. [From Minnesota Running & Track magazine, December, Additional quotes in this article by Dennis Barker are from and article authored by Pat Goodwin in MR&T.] There are good training plans and there are bad ones and hopefully you explored the one you selected based on input from experienced marathoners who had success using it. A good training plan will have a multi-week taper. And there must be an easy training week each month during your training to allow your body to adapt to the increased mileage as you build up to running the marathon distance, and/or to do so

28 at a faster pace than your previous marathons. There isn t a lot you can do if the weather is less than ideal, or the course is too hilly or a poor running surface. But you can control other factors if you use a training log. One item that goes into a good log is a rating of how the run went that day. You should also include in your log your life experience for the previous 24 hours. Over time you can look back in your log and see what your life experiences were when you had a bad day and what they were on those days your training run or race was one of those exceptional experiences. Success begets success, while failure leads to more failure. You can reduce the occurrence of those bad runs, and more importantly a bad race, by learning what affects your running both positively and negatively. Training logs are important; they monitor how you feel and create a skeleton of how you train what helps and what doesn t. Anne Marie Lauck, 1995 U.S. World Track and Field Championships team member. RWTL The first step in planning to run a marathon is to establish realistic goals. Too often, marathoners (both beginners and veterans) set goals based on what they WANT to accomplish, rather than what they realistically CAN accomplish. Consequently, they consistently fail to accomplish their goals, and these failures create a negative mind set, rather than a positive one. Or worse, runners over-train and injure themselves by attempting unrealistic paces or distances. - OS&F Many marathon training plans that I have read simply give you a daily running program over some number of months and most do not span enough months to sufficiently condition your body for the distance or pace for the goal you have established. A good marathon training plan will be based on your level of fitness before you begin the program and will define the basis of what is to be accomplished. It should also give contingences for interruptions in your training for any number of reasons and provide for running races during the many months of training which are short range goals to build confidence. You should have knowledge of the marathon course you plan to run. Ideally training on portions of the course would be the best preparation. That of course may not be feasible for a marathon in some distant city, or even foreign country. Driving the course prior to the race is quite helpful for most people, but be aware doing it on a much hillier course than you had expected the day before the race can be a demoralizing shock if you haven t prepared for such a course. Research the course long before the race and establish your training runs on similar terrain. That is relatively easy to do now with the internet. Most marathons publish a course map on their website and many also provide an elevation profile. Even if they don t provide an elevation profile with modern technology you can easily create one by knowing the map of the course. If the race doesn t provide an accurate course map to scale it is probably not a marathon worth running. I began running the Peachtree 10K in Atlanta in the early 1970s when it finished downtown (downtown Atlanta is on the top of the biggest hill in the area that you can see from miles away as you approach the city), a much hillier course than the current course. Peachtree was my major race of the year, the race I pointed for and trained specifically for each year. The first three years it cleaned my clock. I couldn t come close to running the time I thought I was capable of running and was running in other 10K s. I was an avid spelunker in those days and we used topographic maps to find caves. So I plotted the Peachtree course on a topo map and created an elevation profile so I could plan my race pace for each segment of the course and train on equivalent terrain. Viola! Success. Master s Winner. To my knowledge this was the first elevation profile of a course that I am aware of. I was then creating elevation profiles for most of the races I ran and elevation profiles of my training courses such as runs up Monte Sano, Green Mountain, and a multihill course many of us trained on that were published in the HTC NEWS. I even published a booklet with an elevation profile for the old Peach Bowl Marathon course in Atlanta it was the first major marathon in the South. For most of us running a marathon in the 1970s was something new and not much knowledge of how to train for the marathon. I have had many runners become psyched out looking at elevation profiles they can appear much hillier than they actually are because the distance to elevation is so drastically different the elevation must be magnified (usually 32:1) for the elevation to be noticeable on the profile. HTC NEWS

29 The elevation to distance magnification and/or with specific elevations noted should be included with the course elevation profile for the profile to have meaning. Bottom line, you ve got to know the course you plan to run to know how to pace each segment of the race. On a hilly course you do not run an even pace from start to finish. Pace is based on terrain and your level of fitness. You should try to run a constant effort throughout the marathon. Thus you slow down on up hills and speed up on down hills and try to hit your goal pace on level terrain. You should also practice making turns staying relaxed without slowing down and altering your running rhythm. You need to have a strategy you believe in going into the race. You have to see yourself being successful. You have to have a picture in your mind of the kind of runner you want to be. Then you have to practice being that runner. Eventually, the picture goes from being an idea of what you want to be to a belief in what you are. That deep down belief is confidence. A strategy to reinforce that picture is self talk, using word cues to keep from being distracted during a race and to keep your mind from giving in to negative thoughts. You have to stay positive. Because when you get tired in a race it s easier for negative thoughts to creep in. - MR&T There are as many strategies as there are marathon training plans. There is no one strategy that fits all runners. Successful runners swear by their strategy, but it may not work for someone else. I ll give you mine as an example. It is easy to get caught up in the anticipation and excitement at the starting line and go out too fast as most of the runners will, and you probably will, and I did as well. But if you are conscience of that you are better equipped to minimize the damage by more quickly settling into your race pace. One of the best starters and pacers I have ever known is a member of the HTC Jim Oaks. To illustrate that statement here are two excerpts from the article Shot Down by a Forty-Five that I wrote for the April, 1984 issue of Racing South magazine. Jim was age 45 at that time and his goal was to run 2:33 for the marathon that turned out to be a hot, humid day when the weather was much less than ideal for a marathon. I ran what I felt was my desired pace and by a half-mile, I had lost the rest of the masters field in the mass of runners ahead. We hit mile one in 5:48. Those were the words of Jim Oaks in an article on the master s race in the 1983 Humana Rocket City Marathon. It is significant to note that Jim would average 5:52, just four seconds slower than his first mile. Those masters up ahead were led by Bill Hall who had posted an opening mile just over five minutes. Another eleven masters were strung out somewhere in between. The list read like a Who s Who Norm Green, Don Coffman, Ken Prior, Bill Olrich, Morgan Looney, Art Williams, Ernie Billups, Joe Burgasser, Alan Pilling, Phillip Parker and Gerald Koch.. Only one runner would pass Jim over the last 24 miles. The 45 year old master began to pick his targets off one by one. A few were older than Jim; those and all but two of the younger masters were shot down by their own too fast early pace or by the relentless 5:50 s Jim ran mile after mile. He was never able to draw a bead on Coffman or Looney, but the other ten could do little more than struggle and grin as Jim carried it on in to win the division. Finishing forty-sixth overall, this 45 blazed away to leave many an Olympic Trials hopeful less than half his age with wounded pride. On this day when so many hit the wall, Jim did have to give it his all. He, too, had his first meeting with the wall, but he survived to run his sixth consecutive PR - 2:33:49. Yes, getting into your desired pace early is the first key to running a successful marathon. My plan at the start was to tell myself over and over to relax, get a good rhythm, get on race pace, and check it at the first mile marker and adjust if necessary no matter how good I felt at that point. You don t pace a marathon on how you feel. You will feel good those early miles. Your pace, even from the start, must be your goal pace. I know, we all like to put a bit of time in the bank by running those first miles a bit faster when we feel good and the pace feels slow. Take it from the success of Jim Oaks ; get on goal pace from the start. There has always been a saying, you are just halfway when you get to mile 20. If you haven t run a marathon; yes, that last 10K takes as much effort or more than the first 20 miles. If you aren t feeling ready to race when you get to mile 20 you have been running too fast and you will pay for it those last 6 miles. HTC NEWS

30 The following is how I approached those first 20 miles and the final 6.2 miles, and why I chose that approach. But first here s something you must be aware of. No matter how mentally tough you are, it is impossible to stay 100% focused on your performance for 26.2 miles. Even elite runners come in and out of the zone while they are racing. - OS&F A highly quoted and accepted formula that a properly trained runner will "hit the wall" at a distance three times daily average mileage over a two month period prior to the event requires the average to be 9 miles per day (63 miles per week) for the 26.2 mile marathon (3 X 9 = 27 puts the wall beyond the marathon finish). That theory has not been disproved, but many short duration and low mileage training plans simply ignore it. Another theory is that one-third of weekly training mileage should be a long run. That means after you have built up to the 63 miles per week the long run should be 21 miles during the 2 month stabilization phase. The long runs should be done at marathon race pace except for a warm-up period at the start and a warm-down period at the end. To be able to hold marathon race pace during the long run requires recovery runs for 5 of the other 6 training days each week. If you follow those three requirements in the paragraph above and stay on race pace you will be able to run 20 miles without having to push yourself and depleting your mental will-power, saving it for when the going gets really tough. During those 20 miles your mental will-power can be limited to staying relaxed, keeping good form and a smooth running rhythm, and staying on race pace (know what your mile splits should be at each mile marker which have been adjusted for the terrain based on the course elevation profile). Stay positive and think happy thoughts. For me it was mile 20 where the race began that was my mental plan. By mile 20 it was becoming an effort to hold race pace and it would get more difficult as each mile passed requiring more and more concentration that would now challenge my mental will-power. Now you ve got to go to the bank and pull out those key words and thoughts you ve used in your long runs that will allow you to push through the pain of fatigue. You still use relax, keep form, run smooth, and keep the rhythm; but now you must tell yourself to concentrate, push, hold pace, I m strong, I will not give in, I want this bad, I m confident that I can do it, I will be mad at myself after it s over if I back off and slowdown, I m mentally tough and will not listen to that voice that says I m hurting and must slowdown. Yes, you should have cultivated the fear of failure during each of the short range goal challenges. Remember the fear of disappointment, of letting down, of rejection, of losing, or the ultimate fear of failure is a powerful driving force. Using key words and self-talk is not something reserved for the elite runner or just used running marathons. When I m doing hills, I say to myself, I love the hill, I love the hill. It helps. Shawn Colvin, Grammy-winning singer/songwriter. RWTL Before the race begins you should challenge yourself to meet your final goal, and you must believe in it, and you will if you have trained yourself to meet each of the short range goals along the way. Always dare to be the very best. Buddy Edelen, set at least 10 American records as a marathon runner. RWTL Many athletes use peer pressure as motivational arousal. Having someone else anticipating you meeting your goal is an even greater motivation than your own aspirations. Yes, it s easier to let yourself down when no one would know that you yielded to the pressure than if someone were pulling for you to meet your goal. Think back to races where you got a lift when you went by a spouse or friend along the course telling you that you are looking good and you can do it. That s why athletes often run splits in a relay race that they can t match in an individual race they don t want to let their teammates down more than they would be willing to let themselves down. The value of a coach is more than just providing training schedules; they provide peer pressure without most athletes even realizing it. Before the race go back and reread the two motivational articles previously published in the HTC NEWS (issues 199 and 201). Life is full of challenges. What better training and motivation is there to meet life s challenges, that from the outset seem out of reach, than to run a distance or in a time that at the beginning seemed impossible. Each challenge met builds confidence for meeting the next challenge and over time you come to believe there is no challenge you can t meet. HTC NEWS

32 Once I perform my chiropractic, orthopedic, neurological examination of a patient and find that a possible ruptured or herniated disc, spinal tumor or vascular problem may be present, I will order an MRI. On the average, 1 out of 67 of my patients has required an MRI. Sitting in a chair places 60% more pressure on the L5 lumbar disc compared to lying down. When you run on concrete, you place 40% more pressure on your lumber discs compared to when you are lying down. It is for the above reasons that a "stand up" MRI is superior to a "lying down" MRI. When you jack your car up in the air to view whether or not you have a flat tire, it is a not a very logical way to determine the answer. The same thing exists when performing an MRI. Pressure must be exerted on the disc to determine its true status. For lumbar disc conditions, a standard "lie down" MRI is considered an ancient method of diagnosis. MRI's are commonly performed lying down but unless you perform a newer stand-up, (which is really a sit-down MRI), you are not using "state of the art" technology to more accurately diagnose a condition. I might request that an MRI have contrast agents added intravenously to improve My former front desk person seen above is presently the number one Muy Thai female martial arts fighter in the world. She CHIROPRACTIC MRI s By Dr. Daniel C. Batchelor PAIN THRESHOLD By Dr. Daniel C. Batchelor HTC NEWS definition of the MRI. Before I order an x-ray, I weigh many different factors which will determine whether or not I want contrast used. If I want to make blood vessels stand out from other tissues, differentiate scar tissue from surrounding tissue or if I suspect a tumor, I will have contrast added to the MRI. Gadolinium is a non-radioactive contrast agent that is a naturally occurring substance. It is slightly magnetic and used with MRIs. Gadolinium is rapidly cleared from your body through the kidneys. Since it is colorless and odorless, you will not notice anything different in your urine. When the MRI defines a herniated or ruptured disc, I will use physiotherapy and possibly decompression disc therapy to decrease intra-disc pressure. The last resort for any back issue is surgery. My goal is do everything possible to non-surgically prevent unnecessary back surgery. Occasionally, I will have a patient who has completely ripped the fibro cartilage of the disc and the nucleas has actually exuded out and is causing extreme lower back and sciatic pain. 1 out of 1652 of my patients has needed surgery in the past.

33 her but fortunate to have known her. When I treated her before and after her fights, she was one of the most symmetrically toned patients that I have ever treated. She could tell the difference when I treated her. The treatment made her more flexible and increased her range of motion. Symmetry is important in life as well as in extreme fighting. When the guide wires that hold the spine in alignment have the same tone and strength on both sides of the body, joints maintain alignment even when subjected to the rigors of extreme cage fighting. When someone is sitting on your chest while cranking your head laterally with tremendous effort, it s always nice to have a neck that can withstand that type of stress. As runners, we also understand the importance of body symmetry. When 3-4 times your body weight impacts the ground with each stride, without body symmetry you will eventually develop dysfunction at some point during your running career. My front person has an extremely high pain threshold. What would be considered painful to some does not even register with her. That is one of the reasons why she became such a world champion fighter. Recently, a patent of mine with an extremely low pain threshold came in for treatment. She broke all records. Any tiny injury or ailment that would be considered minor in the average person was amplified in her body. When I treated her, I noticed that she was extremely conscious of the tiniest of aches or pains in her body. When one person would feel nothing, she would feel intense pain. When I hooked her up to one of our electrical physical therapy machines, she was able to feel the electricity even when the machines dial was on level one. None of our patients in the past have ever been able to feel level one electrical current. Having this amount of sensitivity may be good in some situations but it may be a curse in others. She definitely could not be a secret agent in the future because during her torture, she would spill the beans in a heartbeat. On the other hand, she can quickly perceive when her body is not functioning well and can take the steps from allowing it to become unhealthy. Pain threshold is determined by many factors including genetics but one of those factors develops when a child is developing and it has to do with psychology. When a baby or small child hurts her or himself by falling down, parents may make a big deal out of it by screaming or becoming upset. "Oh my gosh, Jimmy what happened. Are you ok? Poor baby!!! Come here, let me see what happened" That child is more likely to develop a low pain threshold compared to one who falls and little attention is displayed other than. "You're ok, let s go".

35 BDNF AND EXERCISE: IT KEEPS GETTING BETTER By Jeff Venables, Editor, Running & FitNews, American Running Association BDNF stands for brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and it is a secreted protein in the brains of humans and other mammals that stimulates the growth of new brain cells. It was not long ago that we thought neurons could not be regenerated, but research from the last 15 years or so indicates otherwise. In 1999, scientists began to revise their thinking that brain cells could not be regenerated when Princeton biologists found that freshly born neurons arrive in the cerebral cortex daily. BDNF, along with its accompanying BDNF gene (Gene 627, which encodes the protein), has since been implicated as a potential cure for Alzheimer's disease and other degenerative brain disorders. Expression of Gene 627 is in fact reduced in Alzheimer's and Huntington disease patients. Fitness for brain cells More recently, stimulation of the production of BDNF has been repeatedly linked to exercise. It's not a stretch to state that exercise makes you smarter: it delivers oxygen-infused blood to your brain in greater amounts, fights the mental impairment associated with depression, improves executive function (focusing tasks), and can even contribute to overall brain size. One study scanned the brains of healthy but sedentary people ages 60 to 79, and found significant increases in brain volume after six months of aerobic training. These changes were not seen among controls who only did stretching and toning exercises. And so the idea that exercise can alter your very neurological makeup at the molecular level causing more BDNF to be produced, and in turn directly contributing to new brain cell growth is additionally exciting. As one 2012 study put it in the Journal of Obesity, We now believe it is possible that some of the beneficial aspects of exercise act directly on the molecular machinery of HTC NEWS the brain itself, rather than on general health (as was widely assumed in the early 1990s). This idea is certainly in line with a recurrent theme of this issue and with the way we are beginning to view exercise in the wider culture: that it really is the magic bullet. Getting to know BDNF BDNF acts on certain neurons of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system, helping to support the survival of existing neurons, and encouraging the growth and differentiation of new neurons and synapses. In the brain, it is active in the hippocampus, cortex, and basal forebrain areas vital to learning, memory, and higher thinking. BDNF itself is important for long-term memory. Sometimes referred to as abrineurin, it was the second neurotrophic factor to be characterized after nerve growth factor (NGF). It is a member of the neurotrophin family of growth factors, which are related to NGF. Although the vast majority of neurons in our brains are formed prenatally, parts of the adult brain retain the ability to grow new neurons from neural stem cells (neurogenesis). Neurotrophins are chemicals that help to stimulate and control neurogenesis, and according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), BDNF is one of the most active. And what we're learning now is that this star among growth factors, BDNF, likes exercise better than other growth factors do. Implications for body-weight regulation A few of the processes the BDNF gene affects include: nervous system development, regulation of long- and short-term neuronal synaptic plasticity, regulation of programmed cell death, and regulation of metabolism. This gene may also play a

36 role in the regulation of stress response and in the biology of mood disorders. At least one large study has found an association between a variant of the BDNF gene and obesity risk. In 2012, a functional variant known as rs6265 was genotyped in 1,147 people and examined for association with obesity-related traits. Men with the GG genotype of BDNF rs6265 had twice the risk of being overweight relative to carriers of two other genotypes, GA and AA. Interactions between rs6265 and polyunsaturated fatty acid intake were associated with BMI and hip and waist circumference in men. Interestingly, women in the study with the GG genotype were 50 percent less likely to be overweight compared to GA or AA carriers. Women also did not show an association among rs6265, fatty acid intake, and body weight. The authors conclude, BDNF rs6265 is differentially associated with obesity risk by sex and interacts with PUFA intake influencing obesity traits in Boston Puerto Rican men. (The population this study analyzed was taken from the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study.) Movement: more than medicine It appears certain variants of the BDNF gene can favorably (or unfavorably) regulate body weight and appetite. But what if being fit helps develop optimally favorable BDNF variants? That's not the case strictly speaking, but recently a laboratory process known as high-density microarray analysis has demonstrated that, in addition to increasing levels of BDNF, exercise directly mobilizes BDNF gene expression in particular, profiles that are predicted to benefit neuroplasticity processes. Neuroplasticity is important: for memory, behavior modification, longevity, and a range of other healthy functions. Again in 2012, researchers predicted that in mice, neurotrophin-mediated response to exercise would probably be restricted to the motor-sensory systems of the brain. These might include the cerebellum, primary cortical areas, or basal ganglia. But once again the interactions between exercise and the BDNF protein surprised researchers: several days of voluntary wheel running increased levels of BDNF mrna in the hippocampus, which the study authors note is a highly plastic structure that is normally associated with higher cognitive function rather than motor activity. The changes in mrna levels were found in neurons, appeared within days in both male and female rats, remained there even after several weeks of exercise, and were paralleled by increased amounts of BDNF protein. A perfect match? The final intriguing finding from the present study is the apparently singular compatibility between BDNF and exercise. Although other trophic factors analyzed in the study, including NGF and a protein called fibroblast growth factor 2, were also induced in the hippocampus in response to exercise, their corresponding increases in cellular response were transient and not as strong as those of BDNF, suggesting, as the study says, that BDNF is a better candidate for mediating the long-term benefits of exercise on the brain. It seems, then, that the relationships among the BDNF protein, the BDNF gene, exercise, appetite regulation, and improved brain function continue to overlap and surprise us in interesting, complex, and exceedingly promising ways.

37 RRCA CERTIFIES FIFTY RACE DIRECTOR IN FIRST YEAR OF PROGRAM Arlington, VA (11/6/13) In November 2012, the Road Runners Club of America launched their Race Director Certification program, which was developed in partnership Road Race Management, Inc. Leading event directors from around the country, including Boston Marathon director Dave McGillivray, worked with the RRCA to develop this affordable education opportunity for anyone interested in putting on a distance running event. In the first full year of the program, the RRCA has certified fifty race directors, with almost a hundred more currently enrolled in the course working towards certification. RRCA Race Director Certification is not mandatory for race directors seeking to insure events through the RRCA insurance program; however the program is extremely valuable to both new and seasoned event directors. For 2014, all event members and event management company members whose primary contact are an RRCA Certified Race Director as of December 31, 2013 can receive an 8% discount on 2014 liability insurance rates for $1million of coverage per occurrence through the RRCA Certified Race Director insurance program. Through this program, RRCA members may utilize the discounted $1million insurance rate, but they will be required to purchase the day-to-day activities, office premises operations, and non-owned/hired auto policy. The RRCA requires this additional policy, because Certified Race Directors are stating that they are a professional race director with formal business operations. We recently learned that our Runner Friendly Community of Salem, MA has included a question on their permit form asking if the race director is certified, noted RRCA President David Cotter. To our understanding, certification is not yet required, but they are at least asking the question. We believe this question will be added to permit applications around the country in the near future as communities look to find ways to manage the popularity of running events in their communities. The RRCA s program is an online learning system with the accompanying textbook Organizing Running Events by Phil Stewart, which is sent to participants following course sign-up. The program consists of six onlinelearning modules that are minutes. Each module is presented by an experienced race director or subject expert. Program participants do not have to attend an in-person classroom setting, as the program is a selfstudy course that allows one to learn at their own pace, on their own schedule. Following completion of all six learning modules, each participant is required to take a 100-question exam where they must receive 80% or greater to complete the course. The course requirements must be completed within six months of sign-up or a late fee will be assessed to complete the course. To be a fully recognized as an RRCA Certified Race Director and listed as such on the RRCA website, participants must agree to abide by the RRCA s Race Director Code of Ethics and submit a signed and notarized copy of the Code of Ethics to the RRCA. Learn more at race-directorcertification/. Completing the RRCA Race Director Certification course shows that an event director is mindful of best practices and in turn should produce quality events, explained Jean Knaack, RRCA executive director. While this course is not required for all race directors, event participants should expect a safe race, quality event from an RRCA Certified Race Director. About the RRCA: Founded in 1958, the RRCA is the oldest and largest distance running organization in the United States with over 2,200 running club and event members representing over 200,000 individual runners active in their running communities. The mission of the RRCA is to promote the development and growth of running clubs, running events, and supporting the common interests of recreational runners throughout the country at all stages in life. The RRCA provides a national infrastructure for the development of recreational adult and youth running clubs and events that have boomed into a robust sporting activity.

50 ALABAMA STATE RECORDS Compiled and Maintained by Buck Jones CRITERIA: Criteria for a state record include the following: (1) Alabama resident (2) U.S. citizen (3) Race run in Alabama (4) Certified courses. BIRTHDATES: Anyone noting their name in the state record listings, please call or write if I show no birth date for you. CHANGES: Potential changes to this list or any future list are welcome, just call or write me at the phoneaddress listed below. HELP: Race Directors, Club Board Members, and Runners, help me a little and I will be able to provide you with accurate state records. WEBSITE & ADDRESS FOR ALABAMA STATE RECORDS Website: Alabama Running Data Center - Phone: C-O Buck Jones, 2920 Eastern Shore Drive, Owens Cross Roads, AL buckjonesvols@comcast.net P - Pending Record, birthdate/hometown required within 6 months of race date or will be dropped. a - Point to Point Course, better than State Record but not eligible for State Record. * - Non U.S. Citizen, better than the State Record but not eligible for a State Record. # - Best Time for Distance-Sex on Point to Point Course. T - Tie performances for same age. RACE DIRECTORS: Race directors please note the following information if you have a certified race. On your race results I need individual ages, not just by age groups. Also I need the home town listed, in order to confirm the runner is an Alabama resident. Without the above I can't use the results, unless the runner is well known to me. I do need birthdates for record holders and would suggest that all race directors add a place on the entry forms. I would not expect birthdates to be added to the race results but they would be available should I or USATF Road Running Information Center need them. USATF RRIC is the national data center for long distance road-track racing, having taken over from the NRDC. I will process all Alabama race results as the state record keeper through to USATF RRIC. NOTE: Birth dates are still required for an age record, however those dates are no longer being published.

Note: The long dimension of your flyer when folded cannot exceed 8.5 inches and the short dimension 4.0 inches or less. If you have a question about this mail us a copy of your flyer and your address and we will get back in touch with you. Due to postal restrictions on our non-profit permit mail we no longer include inserts in our newsletter mailing, but will include your flyer/entry form along other HTC entry form mailings when one is being mailed. The Huntsville Track Club reserves the right to reject flyers and ads that are judged not to be in the best interest of members, or in keeping with the image of the HTC, or that would conflict with our race sponsors, or not meet the requirements of our non-profit mailing permit. The permit limits the content of advertising and flyers to races, running products, and running services. Check with us to be sure your ad or flyer meets these requirements and/or to find out when we will be mailing club flyers/entry forms.
