Issue No. 242
Running With Team Stephen
By Erik Heine
All of us run races for various reasons. Some find
the race a motivator for training with the race as the
goal. Some race because of the cause or the proceeds
that go to an organization. Some race simply to test
their boundaries. Springtime in Oklahoma brings
about two races that are very close to our family.
The first is, of course, the Oklahoma City Memorial
Marathon/Half Marathon. The second is the MTM
Run For Recognition, with the proceeds from this
race going to Special Olympics Oklahoma.
I am not a native Oklahoman. I never had any
idea that I would live here. But I still remember
where I was on the morning of April 19, 1995. I was
a freshman in college at Illinois Wesleyan University
watching the news before heading over to the music
building for reed making class (I played the oboe).
I saw the footage on CNN, and although I had no
attachment to the city or state, it made a significant
impact on me that morning. After a series of injuries,
I decided that a good race to show that I was serious
about running again would be the OKC Memorial
Half Marathon in 2013. At the time I was running
to test my boundaries, to see if I could complete it
under 1:45, which I did. But after seeing the names
of the victims on the banners on Classen Boulevard,
my experience began to change. It became more
important to run to honor the victims than to try to
run a “good time.” Stephen was born here; this is the
only home he has ever known, and now that I run with
him, I believe it’s important for him to understand
the history of this city, and to participate in an event
that has positively impacted so many people. We
once again had a goal of finishing under 1:45, and
were able to meet that goal. Yes, going fast is (still)
important, but getting to experience the emotion of
the race with him was amazing.
The second race important to our family occurred
three weeks later, a 5K hosted by MTM Recognition.
The proceeds from this race go to Special Olympics
Oklahoma. Stephen participated in the state games
on Thursday and Friday before this race. This was his
second year to participate at the state level, and we
have found the events best suited for him are the 25m
walk and the 100m walk. Stephen can only run for
about 20 meters, so the 50m dash is a huge struggle
for him. He certainly isn’t the fastest walker, but he
completed both races, earning a Silver medal in the
25m and a Gold medal in the 100m. Completing
the race was significant. Getting to participate was
important. Nobody at Special Olympics asks, “What
was your time,” which is often the first thing we
do when talking to someone about a race. The first
question at Special Olympics is often, “Did you have
fun?”
That is why I run with Stephen––because we
have fun together. Running serves many purposes for
us but fun should be high on that list. As we move
into the hot summer months, don’t forget to have fun
with your running.

President’s Letter
By Bill Goodier, President
Baby, it’s cold outside…listen to that fireplace roar. Yes,
I have the fireplace going and I am drinking hot coffee like its
water on this cool May evening. Where was this weather on
marathon day!? Congratulations to all of those who participated
in or volunteered at the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon. It
was a warm, sunny day that took its toll on some of us. Many
of you had outstanding performances, while others of us were
happy to finish (and survive to run another day)!
I constantly tell people the OKCMM is one of the bestproduced and supported races I have run. I am always amazed
and moved during the 168 seconds of silence. In a world of
distractions and the inability of people to stop and do nothing
for a few seconds, let alone 168 seconds, those 168 seconds of
silence are a powerful moment before the marathon. The respect
of over 20,000 people to be silent and reflect is a testament to
the reason we run the Memorial Marathon events.
This year the local economy has been at the forefront
of the news. It goes without saying it had an impact on the
OKCMM in regards to sponsors, donations, and volunteerism,
yet Oklahomans stepped up to the challenge. My race did not
go as planned. The silver lining was being able to be more
cognizant of the race details: every mile and medical station
has a tall feather flag; water stop layout and staffing is top
notch; neighborhood crowd support (with adult beverages) is
marvelous; relay exchange stations are well designed; the names
of the victims on the banners along the course, all of which lead
up to the crowd lining the finish area. We are fortunate to have
a marathon of this caliber in Oklahoma City.
For questions email:
[email protected]
Did you notice all the “Landrunners” shirts on the course
this year? Did you see the new singlets? I want to thank Vaden
Dean and the merchandise committee for all their hard work.
This year we brought back the Sugoi singlets just in time for the
expo. These singlets are lightweight and fast drying. There was
a limited supply with several sizes being sold out by midday
at the expo on Saturday. For those of you who missed out, we
are in the process of procuring more singlets. Also new is our
ability to accept credit cards for merchandise. Now there is no
excuse not to buy your favorite Landrunner gear!
Last month I mentioned the Arcadia Lake Trail Coalition’s
work towards building a trail around Arcadia Lake. The club
was fortunate enough to have Steve Schlegel, Marketing
Director for the ALTC, speak to our group. Steve brought along
several slideshows – including maps, architectural renderings
and videos. Construction of the Spring Creek section of the trail
is underway. Though as with all construction projects, weather
and unforeseen issues tend to affect the completion date. If the
weather cooperates and no unforeseen issues arise the Spring
Creek trail should be completed by September or October.
Save the date! Saturday, June 18th, at 6:00pm, Dr. Tom
will be hosting our potluck dinner and summer social. Master
Griller, Vaden Dean, will grill up hamburgers, hot dogs, and
veggie burgers. The Landrunners will be providing soft drinks,
tea, and water. Bring the whole family. This is a child friendly
event! The pool will be open so bring your swimsuit if you want
to cool off in the pool. It is a great opportunity to socialize, relax,
and hangout with our running family. Visit www.okcrunning.
org or Facebook.com/Landrunners for more details.
Cheers!

Top 10 Recommendations for Beginning Runners
By Melissa Brevetti, Ph.D.
10. Chaffing Issues—this may not seem worthy of
the list, but if you ever suffered severe chaffing by mile
25, you could make a valid argument why this should be
a significant part of a top 10 list. With that being said,
comfortable and light clothes become important, whether
or not the weather is hot or cold. When the weather is hot,
less is traditionally good. However, when the weather
is cold, layering becomes very important in order to
run without rubbing. Body Glide is a personal favorite
because you can put it anywhere, including feet, legs, or
wherever, without stains. Many times during a marathon
I’ve grown desperate and grabbed Vaseline from an aid
station, which can also work in a pinch.
9. Dry-Fit Socks—I have a dear friend who swears
by her Balega Blister Resist Socks. On the other hand,
I’m addicted to my Asics Dry-Fit Socks, which are thin
and cozy. No one size fits all, figuratively and literally, so
experiment with what is comfortable so that blisters and
sliding are not chronic problems.
8. Speed Work—most training plans require speed
work. A popular one is the Yasso 800s for both speed
work and to predict times for race day. Many elite runners
implement some type of ladder or hill running bursts, as
well as the traditional “fartlek” runs, which is the Swedish
word for speed play as runners vary the tempos of a run.
7. Sunscreen—a recent study from Runner’s World
indicated that about 41% of runners never wear sunscreen.
However, outdoor athletes are at a greater risk for skin
cancer. Sunny days are my personal favorite, but one
should always exercise caution with long sun exposure.
6. Form—good form enhances endurance and
pace. The world’s best and most efficient runners know
a particular number for form: cadence of around 180
steps per minute. In order to check your number, you can
count the time that one particular foot hits the ground for
a minute, then multiply by two. This amount, 180 steps,
is fast and typically means running with light, short steps.
Your body should be relaxed while your arms swing
forward and back with hands open to be aerodynamic.
5. Pacing—it is extremely difficult to prepare
mentally and physically for the last miles of a race when
fatigue sets in from hours of running. Nonetheless,
maintaining consistency and setting goals will keep you
6 The Landrunner
focused. Previous marathon times are useful benchmarks
to set new goals since you can guesstimate what pace you
want to keep throughout a race. Training at these paces
will help teach your body how to run according to “feel.”
That piggybacks onto the next tip…
4. Fuel—Running Gu or some type of energy gels
are key components to stay strong. I once read that Lance
Armstrong ate 15 chocolate PowerBar Gels and claimed
the marathon was the “hardest physical thing” he’s ever
completed. My first thought was that I’ve never heard of
someone taking that many gels. Of course, my second
thought made me question my own sanity for 26.2 miles
as a favorite. His large consumption of gels is usually
difficult to digest and not friendly to the average stomach.
And yet, runners desperately need glycogen since the
body only stores up to 90 minutes worth. One running
elite once told me about every 10K to take an energy gel;
I go a bit more by how I am feeling on that particular run
and how much I have eaten before the run. Some days
I feel great and hardly need one, and still, some days I
feel tired and need the mental and physical boost. The
guidelines typically state every 45-60 minutes and it’s up
to the individual which feels best as it could take up to 15
minutes to be absorbed into your system.
3. Hydration—a runner should have a careful
strategy of how to take in fluids on race day (as well as
hydrating properly before). Research suggests about 2428 ounces per hour. One study by Dr. Tim Noakes (2007)
indicated most runners only drink about 16 ounces per
hour; therefore, be aware that you might need more water
than you think.
2. Shoes—aaaaaaaagh. Like chaffing and other
painful problems, if you have ever lost toenails or had
blood blisters, good shoes become priority. Feet tend to
swell while running, and thus, most experts suggest buying
one size larger than a person’s regular size. Furthermore,
every runner has a natural pronation level, so shoes that
do not fit right can lead to shin splints, knee aches, plantar
fasciitis, etc. My advice is to get fitted in order to find
that good fit.
1. Live in the Moment—we don’t necessarily have
to run to or away from something, because running is such
a gift of pure fun. Run and enjoy like nobody is watching.

Does This Look Ok? The Answer Is Always Yes
By Jenni Carlson
Runners are particular about their gear.
Shirts. Jackets. Shorts. Tights. Socks. Shoes. All of it
has to be just so and everyone has their own opinion of
what constitutes right. I’ve learned as much in my short
running career. Do a training run or a race of just about any
length and you’ll see pretty much anything imaginable.
Everything goes.
Or does it?
Are there things that runners just shouldn’t wear?
I have strong feelings about tutus and sequins. I
won’t wear them, and frankly, I think it’s because I have
an aversion to glitter. It gets everywhere. It is impossible
to clean up. I won’t even let it in my house in mass
quantities. So I’m pretty sure that has impacted my stance
on wearing tutus or sequins; just too similar to glitter.
When I see other people wearing those things, though,
it doesn’t bother me. I think it’s fun, actually.
But are there things that just shouldn’t be worn under
any circumstances?
I decided to ask some runner friends of mine who
may also be runner friends of yours.
The consensus: everything goes – but that doesn’t
mean there aren’t some things that make us laugh.
“I say no rules,” Amy Downs said, “because if you
wear something absolutely ridiculous then it gives me
something to giggle about for a minute or so and take my
mind off my current suffering.”
Among Amy’s favorite distraction, naked short-shorts
dude.
“Shows up even in below freezing temps with no shirt
and short shorts,” said the distance running and biking
enthusiast.
Mark Wheeler, who’s done several half and full
marathons, has noticed what might be the female
equivalent to naked short-shorts dude. We’ll call her nude
tights gal. Women who wear tights close to their skin
color create double takes.
“Especially when they are not wearing shorts over
them,” Mark said. “It gets them attention, although it may
be unwanted.”
But what about other issues?
MATCHING: I know some folks are sticklers about
coordinating their outfits, and on race day when cameras
may be out and pictures might be worth keeping, I try
to wear something that I wouldn’t mind seeing again.
8 The Landrunner
But on a random Tuesday morning, I am not opposed to
stumbling out the door in whatever’s semi-clean.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten a block
or two from the house, glanced down at my apparel and
thought, “Well, at least I don’t have to worry about drivers
not seeing me!”
Matching is overrated.
“I also care nothing about colors,” said Ann Kierl,
who runs and rows. “If two pieces are comfortable but
don’t match, I really don’t care.”
SPANDEX: OK, I know that nowadays they’re
called “compression” pieces, but that’s just fancy talk for
spandex. And we know how unforgiving that can be.
Thumbs up or down?
Kris Wright has lost about half his body weight in
the past couple years – is that amazing or what? – and
whether running with friends or doing an ultramarathon,
he almost always wears something form fitting.
“Since I’ve lost so much weight, I’ve got tons of loose
skin that flies all over the place when I run,” he said, so I
always wear compression shirts under my T-shirts. That
makes things unpleasant during the summer. But I deal!”
COMPRESSION SLEEVES: I admit I bought some
calf sleeves while I was training for my first half marathon.
I figured if they did nothing, all it cost me was $40 or so.
But if they helped? Man, what a great thing that would be.
Turns out, I think I spent $40 on nothing, and when I
see people wearing them, I think, “Why bother?”
But hey, maybe they get a psychological boost. And if
they do, I say go for it.
FANNY PACK: It always feels goofy when I wear
one running solo. What is this, 1982? But then I do a race
and realize, yes, it is 1982.
So, what’s the consensus on running fashion?
Wear what you want.
Kris: “If it gets them out the door and helps them to
enjoy running, then great.”
Ann: “I think whatever an individual is comfortable
in, then it’s fine.”
Amy: “I mean … something isn’t quite right in the
head when we want to run long distances at the butt crack
of dawn in the freezing cold to begin with. So, you think
we are gonna follow some dress code on top of that?”
QUESTION - - -
Would you be
interested in running
on the GRASS in
Cross Country Style races?
INTRODUCTION - - -
We're the ENDURO Sports Network™.
Over the past few decades, we've timed and/or organized well
over 1000 school track & cross country meets in the state of
Oklahoma alone. We have a great relationship with a large
number of Oklahoma's track and cross country coaches.
We are, therefore, in a unique position to partner with some
of Oklahoma's most dedicated Cross Country coaches to offer
5k races "on the Grass" (on their respective school XC courses)
that would be open to adult runners of all ages in Oklahoma.
All "on the Grass" races are fundraisers for the respective
school running programs. The first (potential) race would be
scheduled for August, and the final 2016 race in December --which would be the 5K "on the Grass" OK Championships.
So, if you think that an opportunity to run "on the Grass" would
be of interest / benefit to you, we would like to hear from you.
Please take a moment to respond to: [email protected]
We appreciate your feedback.
We hope to hear from as many people as possible - - - yes - no - maybe - more questions - suggestions - etc.

Who Where And Why
By Tom Coniglione, MD
we enjoy running: to be human is to enjoy running.
To be human is to run as much as you want. It’s just
that simple.
Who, where and why? That comes later.
First, a challenging question. What makes us
human? How is that for a provocative question – in
a running magazine no less? How anyone answers
this question depends on who you are and your
background.
An accountant thinks people are human when
they can complete their own tax returns. The police
officer thinks people are human when they obey the
posted speed limits. Movie producers think people
are human when they enjoy spending too much
money to see some mediocre movie.
Very few of us are “human.”
A runner answering the question of what makes
us human has a simple answer. We are human because
It is simple……..run as much as you want. It
really is simple but you have to know your body
and its limitations. There are people who can run
100 miles a week and stay healthy: the Africans
I’ve interviewed and many of the collegiate runners.
However, when you talk to them they will tell you
even their bodies have limitations.
When it comes to us mere mortals of the running
community, we all have limitations. Not many of
us can run 100 miles a week and live to tell about it.
Not many of us can run seven days a week and not
disintegrate along the side of some road. We all have
limits. Know your limits or the bear eats you.
Runner’s boundaries are measured in terms of
speed, number of days of running or rest per week,
how much cross training and total miles per week. To
know your personal boundaries is required if you are
to avoid injury: the bear eating you.
Runners exceed their limits with regularity. Stress
fractures are an example of exceeding limits. In the
six weeks before the OKC Memorial Marathon, there
were several stress fractures.

June 2016
Who, continued
The number of stress fractures during the six
week period this year was smaller than usual. The
record for stress fractures in the six weeks before
the OKC Memorial races was in 2010: 17 stress
fractures.
This report does not include two runners who
had presented to the office with their stress fracture
AFTER the Memorial. Their stress fractures were
present and caused pain prior to the Memorial events.
The results hold few surprises:
6/9 stress fractures were in women: women have
more stress fractures than men.
Minimalist shoes contributed to some (four) of
the stress fractures: no surprise. We know this.
Our runners presented themselves for medical
care an average of three weeks after their symptoms
started. According to the research on stress fractures,
most runners have pain for almost three months
before seeking medical care. Are Oklahoma runners
more alert to their bodies?
We talk repeatedly about “risk factors” for stress
fractures. “Risk” for stress fractures is related to 4/40;
running more than 4 times a week or more than
40 miles a week. Here is the real take-home message
from this analysis. EVERY stress fracture happened
in a runner who exceeded the 4/40 rule. They ALL
were exceeding the 4 or the 40……..every one!
What we do not know: how many runners exceed
4 or 40 and do not develop stress fractures? If we
had this number, we could calculate the rate at which
runners (who exceed the 4 or 40) develop stress
fractures. In the meantime. Don’t let the big (bad)
bear get you.

What I Listen To
By Maurice Lee
While I don’t run with a media player, I do listen to a lot
of podcasts and music.
What kind of podcasts?
Before I get into specifics, be advised many of these use
what some would consider strong language, but most warn
you at the beginning. The only one that doesn’t warn you,
and is the worst offender, is Endurance Planet.
I only listen to one dedicated to sports podcast, and that’s
Endurance Planet. I’ve listened for many years since a friend
I used to run with recommended it. The show started out
primarily for ultra runners. However, it was bought out by
another podcaster, Ben Greenfield, who brought in triathlete
Tawnee Prazak to host the show. Here is how they describe
it: “Endurance Planet is the premiere online destination for
runners, cyclists, swimmers, triathletes, and adventure racers
who want inspiration and education from podcasts, videos,
articles and products to fuel their endurance passion.”
Tawnee, who has done 140.6 and numerous 70.3’s, has
transitioned to more of an ultra runner and dabbles in many
sports. She ran the Boston Marathon this year and has run
an ultra marathon.
What I like about the show is that even when they aren’t
talking specifically about running, the training advice they
offer can apply to any sport. Be advised that they often go far
away from traditional concepts. If you like triathlons, they
cover Ironman races very well during the season and provide
updates on who is qualified and close to being qualified for
the Ironman World Championships in Kona, HI.
I mentioned Ben Greenfield earlier. I used to listen to
his podcast but found his discussions far too detailed and
technical - to the point of being boring. He is also heavy into
supplements. But he appears regularly on Endurance Planet,
so if you like him there, you can go to his podcast for more
in depth discussions.
Another new podcast I’ve started listening to is NPR’s
Embedded. Here is their description: “Hosted by Kelly
McEvers, Embedded takes a story from the news and goes
deep.” For example, the first story they covered was about
the high rate of HIV infection in the small town of Austin,
Indiana due to an equally high rate of addiction to the
intravenous painkiller Opana. The latest episode follows up
on the story focusing on one woman who is working to beat
the addiction. Another interesting story was digging into the
biker gang shootout in Waco, Texas.
Freakonomics is informative, but usually lighter fare.
While it sounds like it would be economics or money based,
it is far more than that. Their explanation: “Freakonomics: A
Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything.”
14 The Landrunner
The last several episodes deal with genius and talent and
explore the book “Outliers” and the 10,000 hour rule to
being very good at something. However, there is much more
to it than that.
Only Human, another NPR podcast, is a show about
health that we all can relate to. Everybody, after all, has a
story. In the latest episode, a composer deals with going deaf
and explores his options.
I’ll just mention a few others I listen to from time to time
and maybe explore them at a later date.
STEM – Talk
StartUp Podcast
Invisibilia, which is currently on hiatus but has lots of
good episodes already produced.
Planet Money
Radiolab
What do you listen to, and why? Briefly describe the
podcast or an episode you really like and I’ll put together
another article about them.

Oklahoma City
Marathon
By Kent F. Frates
They lived and,
then, they died.
She may have burned the toast
or, he forgot his lunch box
or, heard a good joke on the
car radio,
until one twisted mind
dealt out firey death
against an enemy
too big to understand,
and, pompous politicians speak
and, self righteous preachers
preach
and, many mothers weep
and, we mourn with
20,000 running feet
at dawn
against a pink streaked
Oklahoma sky,
and, the dead stay dead
forever.
