Our March Event Guide for 2014 is
here! These pages are packed with every type of
race you can imagine. You can also go online at
www.coloradorunnermag.com to access all of
the event listings and to find out more information about each race. We have traditional
running and walking events, as well as trail
races and multisport races, such as triathlons.
We’ve also included adventure races and mud
run events. And if it seems like there are more
events than ever in Colorado, you’re right. A few
years ago, our event guide would consistently
publish around 500 events in a year. This year we
have more than 650.
Many of us set big goals for ourselves
at the beginning of the year. Don’t be afraid of
failure. Comb through the events listed on these
pages and create a schedule to help yourself
really conquer your dreams this year. Maybe it’s
running your fastest ever 5K or perhaps your
dream is to tackle your first marathon. Last year,
my running routine had grown a bit stale, so my
goal was to branch out and do something new. I
ran my first mud run, my first color run, as well
as a few other wacky events, and really energized
my zest for traditional races.
Running a race is a great way to track
your fitness. I like to not just run one or two
big goal races a year, but participate in races
regularly to see how my daily workouts are going. You typically push harder in a race than you
would by yourself. It also helps tune up your race
day routine. You can run a race at the beginning of your running cycle to gauge your fitness,
and then race again every month to track your
progress. Plus, a fall marathon or half marathon
may be a long way off. Racing now will help you stay on target.
If you’re having trouble just getting out the door each day, try to focus on one workout
at a time. Maybe it will help you follow through to pack your bag for the gym and put it in your
car the night before. Or if you’re going to run first thing in the morning, lay out your shoes and
workout gear by the bed so you put it on as soon as you get up. If you feel tired or too busy, just
commit to a few minutes. I usually find that once I get going, I’m grateful that I made the effort
and finished my entire workout. It also helps to keep your long term fitness goals in mind. Remind
yourself who it is that you want to be and what it is that you are trying to accomplish.
If you’re starting to feel bored or burned out, make a change. Try something different.
Try a track workout. Run hills. Stay indoors and test the treadmill. Join a group or a weekly fun
run from a local running store.
I hope you enjoy our event guide!

Derrick Repeats at USA Champs in Boulder
Los Angeles Awarded Olympic Marathon Trials
USA Track & Field (USATF) announced that the City of Los
Angeles has been selected to host the 2016 USA Olympic Marathon
Trials for both men and women. Los Angeles was chosen over the other
finalist city, Houston, which hosted both the men’s and women’s Trials
in 2012 with great success. Like in Houston, men and women will run
on the same day, starting minutes apart, on a criterium-style course. The
top three men and women will receive Olympic Team berths, all on live
network television.
The typical date for the Asics LA Marathon is in mid-March,
but the Trials will be held on February 13, 2016, to allow athletes adequate time to recover and try for Olympic team berths in the track trials
which are held in the summer. The “regular” Asics LA Marathon will be
held Feb. 14, effectively creating a marathon festival.
Competitor Reinstates Elite Athlete Program
Competitor Group Inc. (CGI) announced a new support program for elite athletes four months after abruptly halting their previous
program. The new program included a “7-figure investment in 2014 plus
special support for American athletes who want to qualify for the 2016
USA Olympic Marathon Trials.
Last September, just days ahead of their Rock ‘n’ Roll Philadelphia Half-Marathon, CGI abruptly cancelled their previously robust
elite athletes program, dismissed their elite athletes coordinator, Matt
Turnbull, and announced that they would no longer pay athlete appearance fees. The move subjected the company to widespread criticism and
sparked a debate on the value of elite athletes to running events.
The new program has three key elements: 1. Guaranteed prize
money for top finishers at every Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series event in
North America, 2. Restoration of the company’s Half-Marathon Grand
Prix, and 3. A new “Chasing Down the Dream” program, which will
provide travel assistance and performance-based prize money focused on
achieving the U.S. Olympic Trials Qualifying Standard at 4 events.
Braun 2nd at USA Half Marathon Champs
Colorado runners were out in force at the USA Half-Marathon Championships hosted by the Aramco Houston Half-Marathon
on January 19 in Houston, Texas. But it was Meb Keflezighi and Serena
Chris Derrick repeated as senior men’s champion, while Amy
Van Alstine surprised the senior women’s field with her upset victory
at the USA Cross Country Championships on February 15 in Boulder,
Colorado. From the gun, Boulder-resident Brent Vaughn took out the
pace, leading a pack of nearly 15 men through the first lap 2K split at
Sports Bra Fit Facts
Runners spend a lot of time looking for the right fit in their
running shoes and the right fabric to fight the elements. But we don’t
always put a lot of thought into how important the right sports bra
can be. The proper sports bra can cut movement by 50 percent, which
is critical for women during their runs. Unsupported, the average A
cup travels about an inch and a half in each direction, and a D cup
bounces two to three inches. Here are a few tips to help you find the
right sports bra.
1. Get measured yearly - your size can change quickly due
to weight loss, weight gain, pregnancy, and age. In the dressing room
look for support in three areas: the straps, the cups, and the band,
including the side panels.
2. No need for two - Even larger breasted women should be
able to wear just one sports bra.
If you are doubling up for a run,
that should be a sign that you
need to go shopping to look for a
new, more supportive bra.
3. Hand wash - Wash
the bra in cold water with mild
detergent. Avoid fabric softener
and bleach. Lay it flat to dry.
Don’t use the dryer because heat
breaks down spandex.
4. Replace it - A wellworn sports bra will last about 12
months. Just like anything else,
worn out fabrics do not perform
effectively and could potentially
cause chafing or discomfort.
You’ll know you’re due for an
upgrade when the spandex fibers
start showing or the fabric no
longer snaps back into shape.

cross country championships in boulder.
5:59. With less than a second separating the top ten men, it seemed only
a matter of time before an athlete or two made their move.
Bobby Mack was the first to surge leading up to the 4,000 meter mark. Mack’s move thinned the field as the top pack reduced to eight
athletes. With Derrick running stride for stride just off Mack’s shoulder,
the pack of runners including Sean Quigley, Luke Puskedra, Joseph Gray
and Jacob Riley formed tightly behind the duo.
At 6,000 meter, Derrick put in a surge, losing the majority of
the pack, while Mack and Quigley tried their best to hold on. For the
next quarter mile Derrick continued to lower the pace before ultimately
running solo just before the 8,000m mark.
Over the final two miles of the race, Derrick continued to
lengthen his lead, as Puskedra came up to challenge Mack for second
over the final mile and a half. As the finish line neared, Derrick took one
last look over his shoulder and cruised towards repeating as U.S. champion. Derrick crossed the line in 36:13, well ahead of runner-up Puskedra
at 36:38.
“I want to be the best cross country runner in America,” said
an elated Derrick after the race. “I feel really strong in my training, especially training at altitude at Colorado Springs. I’ve never done two-hour
runs before, and now I’m doing those. I felt the guys were letting me
have it, and I felt like I was in a groove, so I went.“
Behind Derrick, Puskedra out maneuvered Mack over the final
mile of the race, pulling away to a second place finish, improving upon
his eighth place finish from 2013. Mack finished third overall in 36:42.
Gray and Quigley finished 4-5 respectively in 36:57 and 37:01.
In the women’s race, the 8,000 meter race led to a few surprising results, including a breakthrough performance for Flagstaff-based
Van Alstine. From the gun, a pack of a dozen women grouped up and
would run together for much of the first half of the race, including
pre-race favorite Olympian Jenny Simpson. Just before the 4,000 meter
mark, Van Alstine along with Northern Arizona Elite teammate Kellyn
Johnson, Simpson, Mattie Suver and Alisha Williams started to break
from the field. As Van Alstine and Johnson led the charge, the field continued to thin. Before 6,000 meters Van Alstine surged ahead, gaining a
three second lead over Johnson and an eight second lead over third place
Suver.
Over the final 2,000 meters, Van Alstine charged hard, grinding down the competition and widening her lead. As she crossed the
finish line with a wide smile and her arms raised in triumph, Van Alstine
realized she won her first U.S. title, 22 seconds before the runner-up,
Simpson at 27:34.
Following behind Van Alstine, Simpson used a ferocious kick
to finish second in 27:56. USARC veteran Suver and teammate Williams
finished third and fifth respectively, crossing the finish line in 28:00 and
28:18, while Johnson finished fourth overall in 28:12. Rounding out the
top eight, Suver’s and Williams’ teammate Rochelle Kanuho continued
her impressive 2014 campaign with a sixth place finish in 28:22, while
Team USA Minnesota runner Meghan Peyton finished seventh in 28:26.
Alia Gray ran to an eighth place finish in 28:37.

BRINGING THE GIRLS TOGETHER
Boulder’s Jenny Simpson competed at the New Balance
Indoor Grand Prix in Boston on February 8. She would have earned
a new American Record if she had not miscounted laps in the 2 mile
race. With three laps remaining, Simpson surged past Jordan Hasay
into second place and was setting a furious pace to reel in Kenya’s Sally
Kipyego, who had a substantial lead. Just before the bell, Simpson flew
past Kipyego, but then came to a near stop. Kipyego went on to win in
9:21.04, with Simpson regrouping to finish second in 9:26.19, just three
seconds off the American record. “I thought I had it together in my
head, and I wasn’t going to need the lap counter. Lesson learned,” said
Simpson, who admitted that she also did not pay attention to the visual
lap counter positioned at the finish line.

Green Elixir:
A potent immune boosting, detoxifying drink
full of antioxidants
Your Diet
The amounts used will vary based upon the
size of the container used (NutriBullet makes
much smaller servings than a VitaMix) and
your taste preferences. If you are new to
veggie drinks, keep the consistency ‘thin’ to
drink easily. Otherwise, nuts and seeds can
be added for a thicker shake. (Note: if you are
on medications for liver or kidney disorder
you should consult a dietitian or physician
first. Beets should be consumed in very small
amounts or completely avoided and celery
can interfere with diuretics).
For GoSpring
Green and “Cleanse”
During the hectic life of
the holidays and the long
winter months, many of us
diverge from our usually
well-controlled routines
of eating and exercise.
Often clients ask me about
revamping their diet or
completing a ‘cleanse’ in an
effort to get back on track
from eating less healthy.
Generally a ‘cleanse’ means
people either literally feel
they need to clean out
their intestines, and/or
want to rebalance their
food intake by replacing
unhealthy (defined by
most as processed or high
sugar) foods with healthier
versions. This is a positive
step since how we feel is
greatly dictated by what we
think of our food choices.
If we mentally think we are
toxic, we will feel toxic.
By Regina Hammond
E
veryone wants to feel well and eating the right
foods is part one of a holistic nutrition plan.
Part two is how well we absorb and assimilate
those nutrients. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to
know how well we assimilate and utilize nutrients
until we begin to feel unwell. When people want
to cleanse, the easiest way to increase their intake
of veggies is to juice or blend them. This reduces
the burden of knowing how to cook, and the
time needed to cook them. Juicing and blending
also reduces the work required of our digestive
system by making the nutrients more available
to be absorbed. Though most people instinctively
want to go on a juice fast when they are not feeling
well, be sure to listen to hunger cues. A liquid fast
sometimes leads to under eating which can add
more stress to the body. Try the potent immune
boosting recipe to the right, “Green Elixir.”
Eating raw is another recommendation made
to ‘cleanse’ the intestines and attain more energy.
There are specific guidelines as to how packaged
foods qualify as ‘raw’ but the premise is to eat
foods as close to their raw state as possible. This
is a great idea in theory but most people whose
diets consist primarily of packaged, processed
foods, lack the digestive ability to handle a raw
food diet. Changing to a raw food diet should be
done gradually; and most people will feel worse
before feeling better while their bodies adapt.
Adding digestive enzymes for starch and fiber
may make it easier.
With the gut in mind, I have compiled a list
of five recommendations that anyone can use to
tweak or enhance their health.
1
Use a probiotic: A probiotic is a supplement that supplies healthy bacteria to the intestines. The philosophy of functional medicine
notes most health issues are related to the integrity
of the gastrointestinal tract. Normally, several species of bacteria and virus’s coexist in our intestines
Ingredient | Health Function
1 cup raw spinach | Chlorophyll, cartenoids,
flavonoids (antioxidants)
1 cup raw kale | Chlorophyll, cartenoids,
flavonoids (antioxidants)
2 small apples with skin (w/o seeds) | Fiber,
polyphenols (chlorogenic acid), & flavonoids
(quercetin)
½ cup raw beet (tastes best when steamed or
roasted) | Detoxifies liver, kidneys & lymphatic
system; phosphorous, sulfur and potassium
½ cup beet greens | Detoxifies liver & kidney
4 medium celery stalks | Nourishes liver &
kidney
4 medium carrots | Beta-carotene, antioxidant,
eye health
Ginger root (size of fingernail) | Aids in
digestion, anti-inflammatory
1 Tbsp organic lemon juice, or ½ lemon
without rind | Detoxifies liver
without causing any problems. However, when
these outnumber our normal “healthy” defense
bacteria, we may develop weaknesses in our immune system that over time may lead to illness
or allergies.
n What to buy: A) Number of strains: Purchase
a bottle that has more than 10 strains of bacteria
which will provide a broad spectrum of coverage.
B) Concentration of cells: If you haven’t used probiotics before, start with a small concentration (e.g.
5 million) and gradually build up to more than 1
billion. Its important to increase the concentration
gradually to prevent gas and bloating. C) Include
FOS (fructooligosaccharide), a prebiotic typically
found in inulin and chicory root, and will promote
growth of healthy bacteria.
2
Try Fermented Foods: Traditional lacto-fermented foods (using salt brine) contain
enzymes, aid in digestion and boost immunity.
The taste of fermented foods takes some getting
used to so I recommend using fermented condiments to get started.
n What to buy: Bragg’s Liquid Amino’s and
Apple Cider Vinegar. The next step would be to
add fermented side dishes to your diet. Whether it
is Kimchi or Red Cabbage & Beet Sauerkraut by
Wildbrine, these foods offer new fresh flavors on
old time favorites. They can be costly, so buy and
share with a friend, or make your own!
3
Go Green: You hear it all the time – eat
your greens.
n What to make: Taking advantage of seasonal
root veggies, steam apple and sweet potato for a
great side dish spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and
coriander. Use the leftover juice from steaming as
the starter fluid for a veggie juice in a VitaMix,
NutriBullet or Juicer. Juicing or blending your
vegetables in combination with apple, lemon or
ginger is a way to make greens more palatable and
drinkable. Since the taste of veggie drinks takes
getting used to, start off with 1 – 2 per week and in-
crease. The biggest hurdle is getting the ingredients
together and making one. Schedule the time in the
evening to wash and slice the ingredients; create
several servings at once in individual containers
so that when you want to blend one, it’s as simple
as opening the fridge and grabbing the container.
4
Green to Go: Carry pre-made green drink
packets with you while traveling to increase
your nutrition on the road.
n What to buy: Amazing Grass & Garden for
Life sell green super food single serving packets.
Simply pour one into a glass of juice or water to
get your daily serving of greens.
5
Digestive Enzymes: There are many
combinations to choose from depending on
the foods you have difficulty digesting. There are
full spectrum combinations for fat, proteins and
starch; combinations specific to protein and fat
breakdown that contain a variety of proteases and
lipases; and others specific to the various starches
and fibers found in fruit, vegetables, and legumes
(cellulase, xylinase, pectinase and amylase).
n What to buy: If you aren’t sure which combination of enzymes you need, purchase a broad
spectrum (amylase, protease, lipase, ox bile, plus
additional enzymes for non-digestible fibers)
that is produced by a manufacturer that follows General Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
guidelines to ensure production and manufac-
turing quality. In addition, look for the NSF
certification which certifies the dietary supplement does not contain undeclared ingredients or
unacceptable levels of contaminants. Examples
of brands that abide by these voluntary audits
on quality: Kirkland, NOW, Solaray, Jarrow,
Garden of Life, Designs for Health, Rainbow
Light, and Nature Made.

Start:
Five Tips New
Runners Need
to Know
Running is simple. Just put one foot in front
of the other as fast as you can, for as long
as you can right? Not necessarily. Every
runner has made his or her share of rookie
mistakes. Follow my tips below and you
will avoid these classic beginner fumbles.
Or be the stubborn fool that you are, and
make your mistakes yourself. You’re a runner
now, so don’t worry- it’s not your fault.
Stubbornness comes with the territory.
By Pam Moore
Rookie Mistake #1: Wear your grandmother’s shoes
If your running shoes are the same ones you’ve
been wearing since high school basketball or the
ones that were perfect for the step class you loved
in 1998, Do Not Pass Go. If you bought your
running shoes because they match all your new
running clothes, Do Not Pass Go. And, for the love
of God, do not wear your grandmother’s running
shoes. (My friend actually did this for her first
5K. It did not go well). You need a pair of running shoes that will support your body and your
gait pattern. Go to a local specialty running store,
where the knowledgeable staff will analyze your
gait and help you select the shoe that will work for
you. You might pay a premium for the shoes but
you will save yourself a bundle on physical therapy,
chiropractic, and deep tissue massage.
Rookie Mistake #2: The lone wolf approach
It’s hard to be the new kid on the block. I’ve been
there. I get it. And I don’t care. Sorry to go Tough
Love on you but you must put on your big girl (or
big boy) underpants and join a running group. Once
you find your wolf pack, your running peeps will
hold you accountable [read: you will not hit snooze
instead of running] and they will teach you all the
secrets runners know about nutrition, hydration, the
best training routes, and strategically placed Vaseline. I joined a running group when I was training
for my first marathon. We met every Sunday at 7
AM. On a good day, there were a just a dozen of us.
Most of them were much faster than I was. Precious
few of them ran at my pace. Week in and week out,
I faithfully showed up. At worst I ran alone and my
long run was complete by about 9 AM. No matter
what, I logged the miles that would be the money
in the bank I would withdraw on race day.
Rookie Mistake #3. The “But everyone
else is doing it” training method
And now I need to totally contradict myself. Training with a group is awesome. Doing everything
your friends are doing is not awesome. Just because
you’re invited to do hill repeats with your neighbor
on Tuesday, a track workout with your friend on
Wednesday, and a tempo run with your co-worker
on Thursday doesn’t mean you need to join them.
Peek at any beginner or even intermediate training
plan. You will not see back-to-back hard workouts.
Your body can only become stronger when it has
time to recover. Remember those Public Service
Announcements from the 80s? They were right.
Just Say No.
#4. The more is better philosophy
If a two-mile run is good, a four-mile run must be
twice as good, right? Maybe. Ask yourself if you
can complete your two-mile loop easily. If you can’t
maintain a steady conversation or sing a few verses
of a song (quietly), do not increase your distance.
Running should feel stupidly easy before you even
begin to think about adding mileage. The same goes
for adding intensity. Track workouts, hill repeats,
and long runs may be alluring, but there is nothing
sexy about nursing an injury. Those nagging aches
and pains, consistent fatigue in your legs, difficulty
sleeping, recurring illnesses, lack of motivation to
run - That’s your body trying to tell you something.
You’re a runner now. Stupidity and pigheadedness
come with the territory. But try to step back and
listen to your body. It’s smarter than you are.
#5 Racing by the seat of your (new)
pants
Now that you’re a real runner, you’ve signed up for
a race. Congratulations! If you are a little scared,
that is normal. Use that fear to your advantage. Race
day nerves convert to speed you never knew you
had. That is, as long as you are not nervous about
your outfit, your hydration, or your nutrition. It
may be a mental lift to wear new socks and a new
top on race day but your spirits will be in the toilet
when you’re struggling with unexpected chafing
and blisters. Speaking of the toilet, if you are not
used to drinking or eating during training, race
day is not the time to experiment, unless you want
to get intimate with the port-a-potty. Do a “dress
rehearsal” before race day, where you wear, eat, and
drink the same stuff you will wear, eat, and drink on
race day. If you have a chance, you can drive all or
part of the course prior to the race. At the very least,
review the course map. Although there should be
signs and volunteers to help you navigate, ultimately,
knowing the route is each runner’s responsibility.
Then you can focus your jitters on important stufflike beating the eleven year-old who just passed you
like you were standing still.

Neighborhood Fun Run in Westminster when a new record was
attempted.
“We wanted to break the
world record for the most jogglers
in a single race, so we picked this 5K
and we had nine jogglers come out
and juggle for the whole thing,” says
Bekah Smith of the Boulder Juggling
Club.
Joggling, if you’re unfamiliar with the term, is a trendy new
sport which combines juggling and
jogging. Jogglers are not disqualified
if they drop the ball, but in competitions, they must return to the point
the ball was dropped and continue
from there, so that the whole race is
done while juggling. Smith completed the entire 5K without dropping a
ball at all.
This is the first race in
which I’d run side-by-side with
jogglers and it was fun to be part of
the notable event. When I say I was
running “side-by-side,” let me qualify
that in many cases that was only for a
few seconds as the jogglers passed me
by. Most of these jogglers were not
“jogging,” but running at quite a fast
pace. Admittedly neither the words,
“runuglers” or “juguners” have quite
the same ring to them as “jogglers,”
but I want to clarify these jogglers
were more than jog-juggling; they
were a run-juggling.
So, what is the current record for number of jogglers in a race?
Well, I checked the online version of
the Guiness Book of World Records
and searched for Joggling and found
12 results, but they all dealt with
speed rather than number of participants. The fastest 5K joggling with 3
objects for a female is Laurie Young
from Canada coming it at 27:42.
Bekah Smith finished in 31:05 so the
speed record is in reach. And I don’t
see a record for fastest male juggling
3 objects in a 5K, so that one may
still be up for grabs. Michal Kapral
(Canada) holds the record for the
fastest marathon while joggling three
objects, coming in at an impressive 2
hours, 50 minutes and 12 seconds.
So, what other types of
records are there for running in Guiness’ coveted list? Well, there is one
for number of participants in a 5K.
According to the site, “The largest simultaneous 5K run was set by
Cancer Research UK at the Race For
Life One Big Day event and involved
101,246 participants at 23 locations
across the UK, on 4 June 2006.”
The longest race was in
1929 from New York City to Los
Angeles and was 3,635 miles. Johnny
Salo was the winner and he ran it in
79 days with an elapsed time of 525
hours, 57 minutes and 20 seconds,
just 2 minutes and 47 seconds ahead
of second place winner, Pietro ‘Peter’
Gavuzzi. If the joggling speed record
is in reach for Bekah with a little over
3 minutes faster on a 5K, certainly
Peter could have made up less than 3
minutes in a 3,635 mile race with just
a little more training. I can’t believe
he didn’t try it a second time.
There is a record for the
Fastest Half Marathon Dressed as a
Fruit by a Female. This was achieved
by Joanne Singleton (UK) at the
Schaumburg Half Marathon Turkey
Trot in Schaumburg, IL, with a chip
time of 1:35:45. I was disappointed
that there is no mention of what type
of fruit she was dressed as. Seeing
however, that there is no documented
winner of the Fastest Half Marathon
Dressed as Candy, I’m inspired to
run my next half-marathon in my
M&M costume and dominate in
that category. Perhaps I better enter
specifically in the M&M Category,
however, in case there are any faster
Snickers Bars or Reece’s Peanut
Butter Cup half-marathoners in the
world.
There is Fastest Marathon
Running with an Egg and Spoon
(3:47), Most Rubik’s Cubes Solved
Whilst Running a Marathon (175 in
4:53:39), and Fastest Half Marathon Running Backwards by a Male
(1:40:29).
There are plenty of other
records to be challenged, but let’s
keep our eye out for the next version
of the World Records when the
Boulder Juggling Club wins Most
Jogglers in a 5K Race. Congratulations to Bekah Smith and the Boulder Juggling Club for this momentous achievement.

caffeine
performance
enhancement in a mug
by Nancy Clark
W
hether you are looking for a hit,
boost, pleasing stimulant, or excuse
to socialize with your friends, coffee
is the go-to beverage for many runners. Coffeedrinkers enjoy the way a cup of morning brew
enhances their feelings of well-being and their
ability to accomplish daily tasks. An estimated
80% of us drink coffee daily. Why, we are more
likely to drink coffee than eat fruit! Thank
goodness moderate coffee intake is typically not
associated with health risks.
For runners, caffeine is a proven performance
enhancer. In their new book Caffeine for Sports
Performance, sports dietitians Louise Burke
and Ben Desbrow and exercise physiologist Lawrence Spriet address
all-things-caffeine that a
runner might want to know.
Here are just a few tidbits
that I gleaned from this
comprehensive resource.
Perhaps
the information will help you add a little bit of
zip to your workouts.
Note: No amount of caffeine will compensate
for a lousy diet. If you choose to use caffeinated
products to enhance your sports performance,
make sure you are also fueling wisely!
• A cup of pre-exercise coffee can help most
runners work harder - without realizing it.
Caffeine has been shown to enhance performance by about 1% to 3%, particularly in
endurance sports. For example, cyclists who
consumed caffeine prior to a 24 mile (40K)
time-trial generated 3.5% more power than
when they did the ride without caffeine.
• Runners vary in their responsiveness to caffeine, from highly effective to negative. Some of
the side effects associated with too much caffeine include higher heart rate, anxiety, “coffee
stomach,” irritability, and insomnia.
• The recommended performance-enhancing
dose of caffeine is about 1.5 mg/lb. (3 mg/kg)
body weight. This can be consumed 1 hour
before you run, and/or during a long run (such
as a caffeinated gel or defizzed cola every hour).
For example, triathletes commonly consume
caffeinated gels before each segment, to distribute the caffeine throughout the event rather
than have a big pre-race jolt that might
make them feel shaky and unable to
concentrate. Some runners delay
caffeine intake until fatigue starts
to appear, and then they ingest
0.5-1 mg/lb. (1-2 mg/kg) body
weight.
• Caffeine’s ergogenic effect maxes out at
about 200 to 250 mg caffeine. (This is much
less than previously recommended.) More is
not better. Experiment during training to learn
what amount (if any) works best for your body!
• Because the amount of caffeine in coffee and
tea varies, elite runners commonly use caffeine
pills or commercial products to ensure the
desired intake. A comparison of the caffeine
content in 16 ounces of coffee from 20 coffee
venders ranged from about 60 to 260 mg. Even
when the researchers purchased the same brand
of coffee (Starbucks Breakfast Blend) from
the same location on six consecutive days, the
caffeine content ranged from about 260 to 565
milligrams per 16 ounces.
• Research suggests the caffeine content of
espresso also varies. A customer might get
served 0.5 to 3.0 ounces of espresso (depending on the barista's generosity) with a caffeine
range of 25 to 214 mg. In general, the larger
venders (such as Starbucks) offer a more consistent product. But this means you don't know
what you will be getting if you plan to purchase
a pre-race espresso or coffee.
• Energy drinks are a popular source of caffeine. A study of 500 college students in North
Carolina reports 51% drank at least one energy
drink in an average month in the semester.
Sixty-seven percent used the energy drink
to stay awake; 65% to increase energy; and
54% to drink with alcohol while partying. Of
the party-drinkers, 49% consumed 3 or more
energy drinks. That makes for a wide-awake
drunk who may believe it’s OK to drive a car...
• Caffeinated chewing gum is popular among
(sleep deprived) soldiers. The gum effectively
boosts physical and mental performance and
helps maintain reaction time, vigilance, and
ability to think clearly. The caffeine in chewing gum gets delivered quicker than via a pill
(achieving significant levels in the blood in 5
vs. 30 minutes) because it gets absorbed though
the cheeks, not the gut.
• Caffeinated colas offer not only caffeine but
also a hefty dose of sugar. Colas, taken later in
a long run, can provide a much-needed source
of fuel so the combination of caffeine + sugar
can provide a nice boost! Hence, some runners
claim defizzed Coca-Cola is their preferred
sports drink despite having only 35 mg caffeine
per 12 ounce can.
• Caffeine is only a weak diuretic and is no
longer considered to be dehydrating. A novice
coffee drinker can become tolerant to the
diuretic effects of caffeine in 4 to 5 days of
regular caffeine intake. Even high doses (3 mg/
lb.; 6 mg/kg) have no significant effect on urine
production in coffee or tea drinkers. Hence,
there appears to be no hydration-related reason
for runners to avoid caffeinated beverages.
• Caution: Consuming caffeine might contribute to negative effects. For example, let’s say
you are running in more than one competitive
event in a day. If caffeine helps you go harder in
the first event, will that “fry” you for the second
event? Can taking another dose of caffeine
counter that fatigue? With back to back events,
will too much caffeine on the first day ruin your
sleep, so you are unable to perform as well on
the second day? More research is needed to
answer those questions but for the moment,
these situations provide good examples of why
advice to use the smallest effective dose of caffeine is sensible.
• In 1984, caffeine was banned by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the
World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). But
in 2004, WADA reversed the ruling. New research indicated the amount of caffeine needed
to reach the threshold dose was detrimental to
performance. Although caffeine is no longer
banned by WADA, it is on the banned list for
the NCAA, the governing body of collegiate
sports. Collegiate runners can be cited for
doping if their caffeine level is higher than 15
micrograms/ml urine. (A normal urine caffeine
level is between 1-2 micrograms). Unlikely, but
possible.
• Teen runners should be fully mature and
eating an optimal sports diet before even considering the use of caffeine. Again, no amount
of caffeine will compensate for lousy fueling
practices.
• For even more helpful tips and tid-bits, get
a copy of Caffeine for Sports Performance. You’ll
actually stay awake while reading it; the book is
not a snoozer!

Common Sources
of Caffeine
For a 150-pound (68 kg) runner, the
recommended dose of caffeine is about
200 mg one hour before exercise. That’s
the amount in a large mug (16 oz) of
coffee. No problem for most coffeedrinkers!
Brewed coffee: 8 oz, small; 80 mg
Starbucks Breakfast Blend: 20 oz,
venti; 415 mg
Tea, black: 8 oz, small; 25-110 mg
Tea, green: 8 oz, small; 30-50 mg
Coca-Cola: 1 can; 34 mg
Red Bull: 1 can; 80 mg
PowerBar caffeinated gels: 1 pouch;
25-50 mg
GU caffeinated gel: 1 pouch; 20-40 mg
Jolt Caffeine Energy Gum: 1 piece; 33 mg
NoDoz: 1 tablet; 200 mg

2014 SPRING
SHOE REVIEW
S
pring 2014 features one of the broadest, most
diverse selections of footwear offerings we’ve
ever seen. Thanks to strong voices from every
corner—minimalists, maximalists, moderates—
we’re seeing truly something for everyone. If your
training is varied, and that’s certainly a proven way
to become a stronger runner, then you probably
also vary the shoes you run in, and that means you
have more than one type of shoe in your closet.
In the 16 years that we’ve been testing shoes
and compiling our results in these Shoe Reviews,
we always hope that the shoes produced each
season are ideal for somebody. Knowing the
characteristics of your feet and how they move
enables you to narrow the field to the shoes that
meet your needs. This season more than any
other in memory has been like one of those logic
puzzles: “Sally is from Salinas. Roger is older than
Jenny. Pete’s favorite color is yellow. Which cousin
likes pizza?” The matrix of shoes comprising this
Spring Shoe Review and selected as award winners
was convoluted, to say the least. It’s safe to say,
however, that there’s something for everyone.
Shoes for active recovery? We have a few. Shoes
for faster running? Check. Shoes to deal with
excess motion? Uh huh. Shoes for serious training?
Every shoe in this review. The key is understanding
the purpose of the shoe, its use, and which will fit
your needs.
Keep running, my friends.

th e li g hte r s i d e
phoning it in
When I’m running solo, I’d like to believe that I’m
engaged in pensive activity. Communing with
nature during the solitude of the early morning
and sorting out the secrets of life, solving world
problems, or outlining the next Pulitzer Prize–winning novel.
The reality is I may begin my run with a brief internal debate
regarding U.S. economics, but I’m quickly moving on to not-so-scholarly
ruminations. I’m often pondering life’s less-than-critical questions such
as can you decide that you’re indecisive? Why are things typed up and
written down? Is it an effective training method to periodically hold your
breath as long as you can during a run? Why do we say an alarm clock is
going off when it’s on? My mind is a series of rapid segues with no rational
connection involved.
Despite my fairly witless thoughts, I enjoy the solitude of running and am sufficiently entertained. When not focused on key issues
like coming up with the synonym for thesaurus, the first half of my run
often produces a list of things to do, and the second half is spent trying
to remember just what those things were. Eleven-letter, memory-aiding
acronyms are not uncommon by the end of a long run. Many times my run
ends with my sprinting into the house, waving off conversation with my
wife while scrambling for pen and paper as I repetitively mouth acronyms
like ABSORLATION.
For the majority of my running career, I avoided bringing
along forms of distraction or entertainment such as music or podcasts.
Admittedly, I did dabble with audio books for a few runs. However, that
was a recipe for failure given my inability to stay focused during a run on
anything much beyond a mesmerizing five-word sentence. I quickly opted
for the abridged versions but completely gave up upon learning there was
no abridged version of the abridged version.
Being a music lover, I have in the more recent past taken advantage of the relative ease in which I can pipe my favorite songs into my
sweaty ears during a run. Just me, my iPod shuffle, empty streets, and my
jolting my neighbors awake by belting out a chorus from AC/DC’s “You
Shook Me All Night Long.”
I’ve seen a lot over the years as far as what others choose to bring
along for company or entertainment on a run, including the standard items,
such as an infant (or two) in a running stroller or a dog or motivating music.
But I’ve also seen the oddity of an elderly runner pushing his wife down the
street in a wheelchair, as well as runners gliding along with what appears
to be a five-course meal attached to their waist belt. I’ve also been amused
by the lady “walking” her dog while she’s driving her car. I’ve been privy
to a man minus his skivvies: A naked guy on a bike rode by me in New
York City at 5:00 a.m. yelling, “Top of the morning!”
Every now and then I do witness things, like the birthday suit
bicyclist, that cause me to break stride and do a running double take. A few
years back while I was running along the gorgeous and bucolic paths of a
local state park with the rising sun reflecting off a still lake, I saw a runner
coming up over the crest of the hill ahead. At first I couldn’t believe my
eyes, or my ears. Couldn’t be. Wouldn’t be. Shouldn’t be. Ah, but it was.
The Lord of the Rings was approaching, but I don’t mean someone resembling the Witch-king of Angmar. I mean rings, as in a phone call.
There he was, a man answering the cell phone he was carrying (his ring
tone the less-than-idyllic sound of MC Hammer’s “U Can’t Touch This”).
Mr. Fartlek Fiber Optics with the truly mobile phone was bringing new
meaning to the term long-distance communication.
Now, I understand there may be a need to stay connected from
time to time and be in touch through a cell phone regarding an emergency or
whatever. However, I encountered him on a trail many miles from the nearest
parking lot, and his ear-splitting conversation clearly was not with 911 but with
a more-than-jovial friend on the other end of the line.
His thunderous voice and overenthusiastic laughter were in direct
contrast to my harmonious rendezvous with nature. As squirrels scattered for
the park’s higher ground and terrified ducks rapidly exited the lake, it would
have been rhetorical should he have voiced the slogan “Can you hear me now?”
Lord Alfred Tennyson wrote, “O hark. O Hear! How thin and clear.” This
was more “The park. O dear! The din, I sneer!”
As I ran by I gave him a disdainful look and sarcastically said, “Really?” Through subsequent years I still remain irked by Mr. Ringing Runner,
but I admit to seeing the emergence of more running and cell phone use.
I’ve witnessed cell phones immediately materializing from the waistbands of
runners as they cross a finish line. I’ve also seen pictures being taken on a cell
phone right before the starting gun goes off and undoubtedly then uploaded to
Twitter, with 23 reply tweets posted before the runner crosses the finish line.
In more ways than one, the times they are a changing.
I suppose, on further reflection, that I shouldn’t be so hard on
peripatetic phone callers. At least they’re out running rather than perfecting
their touch-tone mobility abilities or texting-in-motion talents through a more
sedentary position. Perhaps I need to simply accept things a bit more. As Roman politician Cicero once said, “To each his own.”
I suppose it could be rephrased simply “To each his phone.”

Am – NUTS!!” and the sequel “I Run, Therefore I Am – STILL Nuts!” Check
