A finance committee consisting of Kim Collister, Chris Deleonardo, Jackie Messmer, Janie Denman and Tom Flanagan recently reviewed the club’s annual cash flow and recommended the $65,800 budget shown below. The MTC Board of Directors approved this budget proposal on Wednesday April 1st, 2015. As voted upon and approved, the club spent $5,983 more than it took in and drew down some of its cash reserves this past fiscal year (largely through increased scholarships and donations). For 2015, based on the strong reserves, the board has agreed to continue with this controlled process with an additional $3,000 in deficit spending. Cash reserves were $45,102 at the start of the fiscal year and $39,119 at the end of the fiscal period.

Doing ‘track’ workouts doesn’t mean you must be fast to do this type of training. There are many types of ‘interval’ training. Long intervals (800’s, 1200’s, 1600’s) and shorter intervals (200’s and 400’s) – are just an example. The longer intervals are great for building stamina; the shorter intervals are great for building speed. I use distances relating to a 400m track. Very simple to calculate pace and time and distance. I read this article a while back, called, “Train Like a Miler”….it said that if you work on the shorter stuff, faster than 5k pace, you will improve your race times. Our heart works very hard during these interval workouts. It works on moving the blood more efficiently throughout the body. And at the same time, our body is learning how to buffer the lactic build up going on in our muscle cells. When we do interval training we are training the cardiovascular and neuromuscular systems. Cardio is working on the amount of blood pumped to where it needs to go, and the force in which it is pumped. You also are strengthening the left side of the heart – developing that muscle to be stronger as it pumps the blood. We engage our fast twitch muscle fibers when we train fast. We send a message to the brain to pump the heart faster, get the blood to our muscles to make them work harder and to take us where we need to go faster. (very simple terms). When we run fast, we hopefully run efficiently and economically. This makes us run with more force and power and we can hopefully, maintain this strength of working out….longer. Intervals…repetitions…however you 14 www.manasotatrackclub.org I thought it would be appropriate to inform folks who may have forgotten about track etiquette or to inform folks who do not understand “track rules”. So, first of all, some distances to know - a normal track is 400m. That is ¼ of a mile. want to call them are lengths of time/ distance of running hard combined with a specific time to recover before setting off to do it again…and again…and again. I like working on the track when it comes to interval training b/c I like to know exactly how long I’m running compared to the time I running it in. Everything is exact on a track. But you can easily do intervals on a flat stretch of road, field, even hills are considered interval training. As long as you’re getting that heart rate up past 85% effort of your Vo2Max. My favorite workout when training for the mile was 9-12x300m at mile race pace (5min.), with 100m walk recovery. That’s fast. Knowing I could do 2700m to 3600m at mile race pace with short recovery, was just the confidence I needed in those important track races. 8x800m at 5k pace was a good workout when I was training for a marathon. You won’t use too much speed in the marathon (2.5% is anaerobic), but you still need to develop all aspects of your running. Not just endurance. Running some 400’s for a marathon will keep you strong that last mile of the race. Looking at Olympians’race times from the 800-1/2 marathon, their last 400m are around 52 seconds. So…. Keep that in mind when training. ☺ The straightaways are 100m, the curves are 100m, Two straights and Two curves equal 400m. 200m is a curve and a straightaway and it’s half the track. If you run two laps, then you’ve run 800m, or a ½ mile. (pretty high level math going on). 4 laps (4x around the track) is a 1600m – which is 9m approximately short of a TRUE MILE. High school track athletes run the 1600m, or the 1500m depending on which part of the country they live. Every once in a while you will see the Mile offered. This is the true deal – the MILE. Now a days, it’s the 1500m (at college and elite level races). But the Mile was the real race before the metric system took over. Some etiquette: When you are on the track and you’re warming up, it’s best to run your warm up: 1) In the outer lanes 2) Opposite direction 3) Or even off the track, out on road. When you are running your workout: The faster runners run in lane 1. If you happen to be in lane one, working hard, but you hear the pitter patter and heavy breathing coming up from behind, then you move over to the RIGHT. Let the faster runners pass you on your left – the inside lane. (just like driving a car). If you don’t hear the faster runners coming, then just stay put, they’ll work around you. You may hear the words “Track!” This is normal. And it is the key word informing you to move to the right - allow the faster runners to go by without having them change their effort and their pace as they pass. When you run a workout, and you are in a fairly large group, like 6 or so runners, try not to use up 3 lanes wide. Tuck in to 1-2 lanes. Have two people lead the pace for the first interval, then switch. Take turns leading so you know what it’s like to run a certain pace. If you go out too fast and you’re leading, the gang will surely tell you! Not only is it a good way to learn pacing, it’s a good way to block the wind for your fellow runners. Always trying to help, aren’t we? Besides, that outside runner who is 3-4 deep across is running more distance than the person in lane 1. Be careful not to trip your fellow runner by running so close on their heels. I tell runners to” back off “ from me – give me space if I feel they’re too close. I’ve been clipped too many times; I am guilty of tripping others too. I tripped a gal in a national master’s race once. Boy, did I feel awful afterwards. You live and learn.

Someone with dyslexia must’ve ordered the 5k medals, because they were “Dog” tags ☺ and 4th thru 6th got ribbons with the event name on them. I rate the races based on 4 criteria: organization, the course, awards and post race party. Anyone who would like to comment about a race can email me directly at [email protected]. Life in the Son 5k and 10k: This race takes place at the First Christian Church on Clark Road, so In the name of the Fastest, the Slowest and the Hilly Ground, it’s time to rate the Life in the Son… can I get an Amen!! The post-race party was once again filled with sinful delights!! They had; hot dogs, pulled pork sandwiches, pasta salad, homemade brownies and chocolate chip cookies, M&M cookies, cupcakes, muffins, sliced oranges, bagels and Holy bananas ☺ This race is extremely well organized. The parking is right in the church parking lot and the packet pickup was located in the church yard. This year they went with the tech shirt instead of the tank top from last years. I give the Life in the Son 5k and 10K a 9.8 out of 10, I would’ve given it a perfect 10, but it forever to get the results posted!! ☺ The quick 1,2,3 on upcoming races: The course was pretty much the same as in past years. You start and end in the church parking lot, then you head out Clark Rd and take a left into horse country and subdivisions you didn’t even know existed!! Luckily the roads are pretty shaded, thank goodness, and you run past some very scenic horse and cattle ranches. The 5k course was marked a bit long at 3.15 miles and I’m sure about the 10k distance as I wimped out and did the 5k ☺ Super Hero 5k: Takes place at Benderson Park, Holy new race, Batman!! The Porch Light 5k: Takes place on Siesta Beach, another new race! Fire Cracker 5k: Takes place in North Port, never done this one either...man, I have really cut back on my racing!! I must confess…I did the results for the Life in the Son race!! See you at the races ☺ The awards were nice medals for 1st thru 3rd in both races. Proud sponsor of the 2014 Bill’s Beer Run!!!

MANASOTA TRACK CLUB www.manasotatrackclub.org 17 The hot spot - What’s HOT for runners “Luxury Liner” from Asics – The New Gel Nimbus 17 technology will allow for breathability, moisture management, and is antimicrobial. By Nancy Flanagan For all the Asics shoe fans out there, get ready for the next best thing from them – the new Gel Nimbus 17 is out! I used to be an Asics-only girl years ago until a neuroma struck my right foot. I had been wearing the Gel Nimbus shoe with great success over many years until the nerve damage in my foot required a different solution. So when the new Gel Nimbus was released recently I was so taken with the appearance and the weight of the shoe that I just had to try it on – just for old times’ sake. What a pleasure! Another plus is the gender-specific cushioning feature built into the shoe for women. The women’s models feature a lower-density top layer in the midsole, which allows female athletes to better enjoy the benefits of midsole compression. 3mm of additional height on the women’s models helps to relieve Achilles tension as well. What a bonus! As Asics says about this shoe – “It is a little bit more revolution than evolution” in this new version. They took some serious weight out of the shoe for starters. It comes in at 8.8 oz. And with a nearly seamless upper called the FluidFit upper, it feels like a runner’s dream. When I put this shoe on my right foot, I immediately felt seduced by the high level of cushioning and the glove-like fit of the shoe. It has a sock-like feel to it and I could instantly imagine myself running in this shoe. There should be no irritation or friction caused by this seamless upper construction no matter how many miles you are out for. Of course, due to the ultimate cushioning this shoe may not be as responsive on the roads, but I think my foot is going to love it. In terms of shoe structure, part of the revolution of the shoe is that the gel pods are now all one piece in the forefoot. The extended Rearfoot and Forefoot Gel Cushioning system should definitely give the runner a plush and luxurious ride. Additionally, the new top-ofthe-line ComforDry X-40 Sockline sits on top of the new full length ComforDry lasting for the super cushiony feel of running on air. This As for the aesthetics of the shoe, that, too, is impressive. Although the women’s model comes in 6 colors, my personal favorite is the Deep Blue/White/Hot Pink combination with the Lightning/White/Hot Pink being my next favorite selection. For Men, there are also 6 colors. In this one, my personal favorite would have to be the Carbon/White/ Black combination since it is reminiscent of Ohio State’s scarlet and gray colors! Second choice would be Lightning/Black/Flash Yellow. This shoe has a 10mm drop for men and a 13mm drop for women and sells for $150.00. For anyone that has a neuroma and/or other nerve problems in their feet, I would seriously suggest you give this shoe a spin. You might just find yourself doing a long run on a test drive and not even realizing it! Nancy is a local runner/MTC member who LOVES performance apparel with a flare. She is the Apparel Buyer for Fleet Feet Sports Sarasota. She has expanded the apparel offerings at FFSS to now include 18 different women’s and men’s brands ranging from Brooks, Nike, Adidas, and Saucony to Lole, lucy, SkirtSports and UnderArmour - and everthing in between for performance running, active lifestyle, yoga, and walking.
