W elcome to the 2009 Cross Country Yearbook! This is a fine example ofhow various media partners can work together for the common good.

Walt Murphy, editor of XCountry XPress and Eastern Track, provides us with hisannual review of the 2008 cross country season, plus the 2009 XC schedule.Sean Hartnett, TFN’s professor of the marathon, provides us with a 10-pagephoto essay on last fall’s NCAA men’s and women’s races.

We at ATF provide the design of Kristen Cerer, the editing of James Dunaway,and the thoughtful observations of Dick Patrick. We also provide you with ourFall RN shoe review and a two-page review of cross country racing shoes, cour-tesy of Cregg Weinmann and Christine Johnson, giving you unbiased, expertguidance on both training and racing shoes.

I must admit, I love cross country. It is honest, challenging, and it was the partof the sport where I had the most fun and success. Cross country, as formerRW editor Joe Henderson wrote, is the meeting place of the miler and marathon-er. Up hill, down hill, through mud, then sprint madly to the finish, and catch-ing your breath, walking with your lungs gasping for air, remembering whereyou can get better on the course next time.

For 10 track seasons, miler Alan Webb and Scott Raczko were athleteand coach. Raczko developed Webb into the fastest prep miler inU.S. history (3:53.43) in 2001 and the U.S. recordholder (3:46.91)

in 2007. But in August their 10-year partnership came to an end.After two consecutive disappointing seasons, Webb elected to leave

Reston, VA, where he grew up and attained his greatest successes, to relo-cate to Portland where he will be coached by Alberto Salazar.

According to a knowledgeable source, Webb was pressured by hisshoe company, Nike, to make the move. But Webb’s agent, Ray Flynn,said that wasn’t the case: “It’s an amicable decision between [Alan] andScott. But it’s Alan’s decision [that] he needs a change. He likes theresources and the infrastructure of the Oregon project.

“Scott has coached him to the highest level of any American milerever. Alan is respectful of what Scott has done for him. But he’s reached astage in his career now at 26 years old that he feels [he] needs to make achange. The Oregon project is presenting itself as the best option for himwhere he feels he can make … positive changes in his career. Sometimeswe all need a change.”

After an impressive 2007 when Webb had the best time in the worldin the mile and 1500 (3:30.54) plus the #2 800 (1:43.84), Webb strug-gled. He overtrained in 2008, finishing 5th in the 1500 at the Trials andmissing the team; he was hampered by hamstring and Achilles injuries thisseason and withdrew from the final at the USA Championships, the qual-ifier for the world championships.

Earlier this year, Webb visited Portland, where Salazar and JerrySchumacher train separate groups of Nike-sponsored runners that includeU.S. and NCAA 10,000 champion Galen Rupp, U.S. 5000 champ MattTegenkamp, multi-U.S. recordholder Shalane Flanagan, top marathonerKara Goucher, and U.S. 10,000 champ Amy Begley.

In late July, Salazar said he heard from Webb. “Alan called asking meto become his coach,” Salazar said. “To be honest I was completely sur-prised by it.”

Raczko has coached Webb since his sophomore year at South LakesHigh School in Reston with the exception of the 2001–02 academic yearwhen Webb was a freshman at Michigan.

For all his success with runners from 5000 through the marathon,Salazar hasn’t coached a top 1500 runner. “I’m confident we have theresources here and I can acquire the knowledge necessary,” said Salazar, aformer Boston and New York marathon winner.

In early August Webb flew out to Portland to visit Nike headquartersand undergo a biomechanical evaluation. Then he went to Palo Alto, CAto visit noted podiatrist Amol Saxena, who will treat his Achilles problemwith shock-wave therapy. He’s expected to relocate to Portland inSeptember or October. “We want to get him healthy first,” Salazar said.Salazar wants Webb, who has a muscular upper body, to lose some of hisbulk: “He won’t touch a weight the first six months. He has to lean out.”

After missing consecutive U.S. teams, Webb may need both a physi-cal and mental makeover. “With any change there’s risk,” Flynn said. “Forwhatever reason, things weren’t working.”

Galen Rupp had a storybook senioryear at Oregon. The former PortlandCentral Cathlolic, sometimes rappedfor never winning an NCAA individ-ual title in his first three collegiate sea-sons, finished with a cross country titlein the fall, the 3000 and 5000 indoorsplus the 10,000 outdoors—leadingthe Ducks as they won team titles incross country and indoors and fell justtwo points short outdoors.

There were mental and physicalreasons for Rupp’s banner year. Themental: less stress. “It’s funny thisyear,” he said. “The less I’ve thoughtabout individual titles and the moreI’ve thought about the team, it’s likethose guys have helped me becomebetter and win by not worrying somuch about myself. But I always feltthat if an NCAA championship wasgoing to define me, I might as well just

run college and stop. But it was aweight off my shoulders.”

The physical: Rupp developed akick. Since watching Kenyan-turned-American Bernard Lagat do a speedworkout before winning the 1500 and5000 at the 2007 worlds, Rupp andhis coach, Salazar, have stressed morespeed workouts. Rupp closed 1500sthis spring in 52.2 for the final 400and 1:53 for the final 800. He’s run apersonal best 1500 of 3:39.14, equiva-lent to a 3:56 mile.

Salazar, who has coached Ruppsince high school, said watching aLagat pre-meet workout in Osaka in2007 “was an epiphany” for bothcoach and runner. Rupp had finisheda workout of 300 repeats, runningthem in 42–44 seconds. Lagat showedup and reeled off nine in under 40 sec-onds.

“All of a sudden it became appar-ent to us that’s the sort of speed youhave to have,” Salazar said. “He cancome out and run nine under 40 with-out it tiring him. We realized we hadto concentrate on this. We don’t giveup the long stuff but year round wehave to keep doing the short speedwork. That way you’ll develop it. Ifyou just do it for three or four monthsyou won’t get to the point necessary.Never get away from it.”

Late in the college season, Ruppdid nine 300s in 39 or faster. “Welaughed and said, ‘Remember whenthis all started?’” Salazar said. “Hewasn’t feeling tired and this was in themiddle of a 100-mile week. My beliefis that when you do that fast stuff,when you go to your slower [race]pace, you’re so economical. It’s likeyou’re jogging at race pace.”

Rupp's strong finish

This is why an independent testingagency is necessary for legitimate drugtesting. At least 34 U.S. track and fieldathletes tested positive for drugs lead-ing into the 1984 Los AngelesOlympics without being punished bythe U.S. Olympic Committee, accord-ing to a story by Scott Reid in theOrange County Register.

The news was the large numberof positives. When a few athletes inthe 1980s revealed they had receivedletters from the USOC that they hadtested positive but never receivedpenalties, the USOC acknowledged itsnon-punitive program it said waspreparing testers and athletes for theGames. The USOC, however, neverrevealed the scope of the program.

Twenty-eight of 50 athletes testedin early 1984 turned up positive on theA sample without the B sample beingtested for confirmation as strict proto-col requires. In another batch, six of 10athletes were positive for testosterone,according to USOC documentsobtained by the Register. The positivepercentage, 57%, is staggering.

Pat Connolly, a coach of elite ath-letes and a long-time anti-steroidadvocate, wants one more piece ofnews: “Give us the names. That’s myreaction. If they ever came forwardwith the names, it would be a who’swho of the best medal winners. I’d

sure love to get the names. Let themstart answering questions. A lot ofthem have been scot free and holierthan thou.”

Connolly also suspects that therewere several positives from the 1984Trials that have been covered up.

According to the story, USOC offi-cials stated they “did not know or wouldnot confirm” whether athletes testingpositive competed in the ’84 Games.

Connolly is convinced that therewere U.S. medal winners who receivedperformance-enhancing drugs from LosAngeles physician Robert Kerr. Kerr,who died in 2001 at 65, told aCanadian inquiry in 1989 that he pro-vided drugs to about 20 medal winnersin Los Angeles, not all of themAmericans. U.S. sprinter DianeWilliams, who did not medal in 1984,was a regular visitor to Kerr’s office,where she saw other prominent athletes.

In 1989, Connolly and two of hersprinters, Williams and 1984 Olympic100-meter champion Evelyn Ashford,appeared before a Senate JudiciaryCommittee hearing chaired by currentVice President Joe Biden, then a sena-tor from Delaware. Williams told ofbeing persuaded to use steroids bycoach Chuck Debus (who was subse-quently banned from the sport) andthat she received a letter from theUSOC that she had tested positive

and needed to be clean before theGames. She left Debus later in 1984 tobe coached by Connolly.

At the time, the USOC deniedcover-ups, through then-spokespersonMike Moran: “Any athlete or coachwho insinuates that the USOCdesigned or was involved in a programconceived for the purpose of helpingathletes avoid detection … is totallyout of touch with reality.”

The emphasis of Connolly’s testi-mony was that the USOC and TheAthletics Congress, the then-name forUSA Track and Field, weren’t capableof testing because of a conflict of inter-est. “It became clear that with TACand USOC given the job of enforcingdrug legislation, drug use would onlyescalate,” Connolly testified. “It did.”

The USOC and USATF nolonger handle drug testing. The U.S.Anti-Doping Agency took over testingfor Olympic sports after the SydneyOlympics in 2000.

“USATF believes that any athlete,in any era, should be banned fromcompetition if they are found to havecheated,” said USATF spokespersonJill Geer. “The anti-doping movementwas in its relative infancy 25 years ago,in terms of sophistication and compre-hensiveness, and USATF and our cur-rent leadership have no knowledge ofthe reported program described.”

• It’s no surprise that Galen Rupp signed with Nike after his last track seasonat Oregon. When your coach, Salazar, and your agent, Michael Johnson, havebuildings named after them at Nike headquarters, it isn’t likely you’ll switchto another company. His annual salary, according to an informed source:$500,000.

• Kara Goucher, third in April’s Boston Marathon, tuned up for the WorldChampionships marathon by being the overall winner of the inaugural Rock’N’ Roll Chicago Half Marathon in 1:08:05. The race provided no prizemoney so there were no elite male entries. Goucher’s strategy for Berlin: “IfI blow up at halfway, I blow up halfway. I didn’t put my life on hold not totake a risk.”

• It was a fantasy senior year for prep decathlete Curtis Beach of Albuquerque.Not only did he set prep marks for the event with high school and interna-tional implements plus win the Pan-American Junior Championships(7,377), he spent a day shadowing USATF CEO Doug Logan after Loganread in USA Today that Beach’s dream job was to head USATF. Not only isBeach a track nut statistically, he’s interested in promoting the sport. “I askedMr. Logan what necessary skills needed to be developed in order to be successful in his job,” he wrote in a blog for dyestat.com. “The number onething he gave as advice was this: Learn how to process a lot of informationand be able to make a firm, well-prioritized decision. His recommendationfor how to learn this skill: law school.”

• John Godina, a three-time world champion and two-time Olympic medal-ist in the shot put, retired early in 2009 and has established a throwing cen-ter in Phoenix. The World Throws Center offers training for throwers of allages, contains 31,000 square feet, weight room, pool and recovery tanks.Godina, who is presently coaching U.S. indoor champ Dan Taylor in theshot put, is also affiliated with Athletes’ Performance in Phoenix where sev-eral well-known athletes in other sports do off-season training. The staff willinclude Dave Dumble, who coached Godina late in his career.

• The International Olympic Committee is considering making it mandatorythat athletes name their doctor(s) and physiotherapist(s) at the start of eachseason in an attempt to further reduce doping. “Doping has become so scientific that it is impossible for an athlete without an effective entourage,”said IOC vice president Thomas Bach. “You get the impression at many hearings that most athletes are victims rather than culprits. Often only theathlete is sanctioned as the weakest link. This cannot be tolerated.

“We are spreading the responsibility to the entourage of the athletes. Weexpect more pressure on the athletes’ (supporting cast) and a raised inhibi-tion level.”

Bach said names of doctors and therapists connected with athletes’ test-ing positive would be passed onto state authorities, which could lead to crim-inal prosecution.

• “U.S.A.” weren’t the only initials sported by the American team at the BerlinWorld Championships. American athletes also displayed the initials “J O”on their uniforms in the Olympic Stadium in Berlin to commemorate thefeats of Jesse Owens, who won the 100, 200 and long jump, and ran on thevictorious 4x100 relay there at the 1936 Games. Descendants of Owens andLuz Long, the German long jumper who provided Owens some advice whenthe American was in danger of fouling out of the long jump, were scheduledto meet. “I hope that just having his initials on their apparel will inspire somefor the athletes to remember this time so many years ago and it will inspirethem,” said Marlene Dortch, Owens’ granddaughter. “I know from peoplelike Michael Johnson, who shared so much about what my grandfather meantto him, so I hope that it would continue. What a great tribute to his legacy.”

Bell Lap When Dick Booth’s contract as anassistant at Arkansas was not renewedby first-year head coach ChrisBucknam, it took less than 24 hoursfor the well-respected Razorbackjumps coach to find a new job. He wasquickly hired by SEC rival Florida. InBooth’s 27 seasons at Arkansas, he pro-duced 45 individual NCAA champi-ons and 11 Olympians, and played amajor role in Arkansas’ 29 indoor andoutdoor team titles. For his first year ortwo in Gainesville he’ll be trying tobeat the Hog jumpers he left behind,most notably 26-111⁄4 long jumperAlain Bailey and long/triple jumperTarik Batchelor.

Art Venegas was released atUCLA after 10 years as head men’scoach and 28 as an assistant. TheBruins won a Pac-10 title and twoWest Regional team titles during histime as head coach. Considered one ofthe top throws coaches in the world,he declined an offer to stay on in hisformer role as the Bruins’ throwscoach. UCLA swiftly announced thatit had hired Mike Maynard of BoiseState to replace Venegas.

Protecting Your Track from Abuse Part Two: To Lock or not to Lock?

In Part One (Summer 2009, Vol.16, No. 3), we noted that manypotential sources of damage to

tracks can be headed off by carefulplanning in selecting the right tracksurface (with help from a track con-tractor familiar with local conditionsand customs), and by signs that explic-itly describe what’s allowed (runningand walking) and what’s forbidden(dogs, roller skates, walking or slowrunning in lane one, football cleats,kids playing in the long jump pit, etc.).

But sometimes these sensible, civ-ilized measures aren’t enough. Youneed to get tougher.

When … and Who?The first thing to do is determineexactly when the damage is occurring.Is it during phys ed classes or intra-murals? After school? At night? Onweekends? Is it over the summer, whenthere are no student practices andfewer maintenance and security peo-ple around?

And who is doing the damage?

Are there local running clubs or fitnessgroups using the track who mayunknowingly be using the wrongfootwear? Are students sneaking intothe area at night to party, or to find aprivate place for other activities? Arevandals getting into the facility afterhours and purposely being destruc-tive? Are there users who disregard thewarnings about proper track usage?

To get the answers to these ques-tions, enlist the help of your regulartrack users. Ask them to keep theireyes open, and to report to you if theysee kids heading for the bleachers, ifthey notice people riding bicyclesaround the track, and so on.

Find out days of the week andtimes these incidents occur. Don’texpect your users to police the track,but make it clear to them that yourdoor (or even your e-mail box) isalways open for them to report suchactivity. Once you get a bead on yourculprits, it’s easier to stop them intheir tracks—either with a visit fromthe local police or campus security (if

there’s crime or mischief going on), orwith a visit from your athletic director,who can address negligence issuessuch as users with improper footwear.

Taking ActionThe information you gather will helpyou decide what to do.

For example, fences, fence mazes,and turnstiles on entrance gates canhelp cut down on the use of bicycles,strollers, motorcycles, and other largeror more unwieldy vehicles on thetrack, being careful, of course, to satis-fy ADA requirements.

Lighting is a surefire way toincrease the safety and security of yourfacility. If you host athletic events atnight, you of course already havelighting. Even if you don’t have nightevents, lighting can increase a sense ofsecurity among facility users, particu-larly if your facility is open for use 24hours a day. And generally speaking,lighting a facility creates a bright spoton the campus, and making it muchless inviting for those who want to loi-


t r a c k c o n s t r u c t i o n

ter or cause trouble after hours.“Short of closing the facility, I

think motion lights would go a longways towards preventing some of thisvandalism,” said Sam Fisher of FisherTracks in Boone, IA. “Turnstile gatesobviously deter or slow down tricycles,bikes and strollers on the track itself.We feel, and many of the owners haveconcurred, that signage has done thebest job of informing the public of thedos and don’ts on the track. Most peo-ple, especially in the small communi-ties, are very proud of their track andexercise not only great care themselvesbut are quick to help police the facili-ty for activities detrimental to thelong-term success of the facility.”

“Kids do the damnedest things andvandalism is always a concern,” saysRick Ryan of Midwest Track Builders inWauconda, IL. “Have school security ormaintenance look at the facility on aschedule or the local law enforcement todrive through the area every few hours,and/or you could install security camerasto monitor the facility.”

Sometimes, though, the simplestremedies should be tried first.Programming is an excellent way toincrease the foot traffic into and out ofthe track. Vandals and those who arebreaking the rules don’t want an audi-ence. Summer sports programs andcamps, local athletic clubs, trainingprograms for area races sponsored byrunning apparel stores, weight lossgroups, and others are examples ofpotential users of your track and fieldfacility. As always, make sure everyoneknows the rules.

Dogs? Absolutely Not!The concept of off-leash dog parks isgreat, in theory. Problem is, when peo-ple don’t have access to a fenced-in dogpark, they often try to make do withan athletic field. After all, it’s greenand fenced, right? Wrong. Dog wasteis only part of the problem. Whetherit’s on a natural grass field or on anartificial turf facility—where thingscan really get messy—the problem ofoff-leash dogs is a safety issue, not justan animal lover’s quandary.

Loose dogs can attack one another,or can chase runners who are using the

track. Post “No Dogs” signs prominent-ly. On the same sign, put an emergencynumber for track users to call if they seesomeone bringing a dog into the area.Many areas have leash laws, an infrac-tion of which can result in a fine. Yourlocal Animal Control office should bemade aware if users are reporting a con-stant problem with dogs.

And as a side note, it’s not justoff-leash dogs that can create prob-lems. Even canines that stay leashedwill stop to relieve themselves—andthat starts a whole new problem.According to Norm Porter, dog urineis acidic, and can break down the trackif it gets onto the surface. “I feel theschool board should post “rules ofusage” for the running track and theyshould include a restriction againstdogs,” he notes. “If the school boardgives a justifiable reason for the restric-tions, I don’t think the public wouldhave any problems.”

To Lock or not to Lock?No one security solution will work foreveryone. Some managers have foundthat keeping gates locked when thefacility is closed to the public is theonly way for them to control unautho-rized use, and abuse of an expensiveschool asset. However, there are anequal number of track contractorswho disagree with the notion of“open” and “closed” hours. NormPorter is one of these.

“First, as a personal preference, Iwould strongly discourage locking uptracks to keep them from unautho-rized use,” says Porter. “In most cases,the ‘unauthorized’ people who woulduse the tracks are the local residentswhose property taxes probably wentinto the money used by the school topay for the track. I remember in mylocal school district that a brand newathletic field complex was ‘sold’ to theschool district as a community-friend-ly site with open access to the complexand even an area set aside for strictlypublic use. When the bond issuepassed and the complex was complet-ed, there was no public use area andthe public was, in fact, denied accessto the complex without specific per-mission of the school board. As a

result, there was a great deal of badfeeling locally and it was several yearsbefore any other monies wereapproved for the school district.”

In an era when everyone is watch-ing the bottom line, many are turningto public facilities rather than toexpensive private clubs to get theworkouts they need—and they’recoming at times convenient to theirschedules, possibly before sunrise orafter nightfall. Student athletes whowant to stay in shape over the summerwill also spend time at the facility. Andwith more parents trying to get (andkeep) their kids active, it becomesimportant to have a free fitness facilitynearby that the whole family can enjoytogether. They’re all good reasons tokeep the doors open.

The important thing, say the pros,is to ensure the safety of the track andthose who use it, while keeping it asopen and accessible as possible. Onelocal facility operator has taken a cuefrom looking at the signs on the back of18-wheelers on the road. The sign that isnow posted right next to the facilityentrance (and right next to the list ofrules) notes, “If you see this facility beingused in an unsafe or improper manner,call this number for campus security.”Effectively, the sign makes everyone whouses the facility a steward of it.

Remember that the most impor-tant deterrent to bad behavior is agood example. If the responsible ath-letes—the ones who respect the facili-ty and use it properly—feel welcome,they’ll keep coming back. Those whodon’t want to behave will learn quick-ly that they have to shape up, or findanother place to shape up.

Sally Kipyego of Texas Tech became the first woman to win three NCAA crosscountry titles with another runaway performance on a cold, windy day inTerre Haute. Florida State’s Susan Kuijken stayed with Kipyego through theearly stages of the 6K race, but finally yielded and held on for 2nd place.Kipyego joins three legends of the sport who each won three men’s titles—Washington’s Gerry Lindgren, Oregon’s Steve Prefontaine, and WashingtonState’s Henry Rono.

Some three months later, the senior nursing student from Kenya closed outher collegiate career by winning the 5000 meters at the 2009 NCAA IndoorChampionships, giving her a total of nine individual titles and tying her withWisconsin’s Suzy Favor as the winningest female in NCAA history.

The University of Washington, heavily favored to win the women’s team title,had some anxious moments early on as Oregon was the leader after the 2Ksplit and Husky head coach Greg Metcalf (Kelly Strong is the women’s crosscountry coach) couldn’t spot some of his expected scorers. “Where are they?”he asked of no one in particular. Not to worry, though, as frosh Christine Bab-cock (7th) and Kendra Schaaf (12th), sophomore Mel Lawrence (25th), jun-ior Katie Follett (26th) and senior Amanda Miller (34th) came through to givethe Huskies their first-ever NCAA team title in track and field or cross coun-try (both men and women).

For the second year in a row, Oregon (running without the injured MelissaGrelli) and Florida State finished 2nd and 3rd, respectively, with West Vir-ginia picking up its first-ever team trophy in 4th place. Three-time defendingchampion Stanford finished 8th.

The men’s race featured another battle between Oregon’s Galen Rupp and arunner from Liberty. Last year, Josh McDougal had the upper hand in a ter-rific battle with Rupp, and this year’s race was almost a carbon copy. SamChelanga, who transferred from Fairleigh Dickinson to Liberty after the2006–07 school year, built a big early lead, much as he had done in the Pre-Nationals held here last month.

Rupp and Duck coach Vin Lananna were prepared for this and the plan wasto be patient. It worked; Rupp gradually caught up to Chelanga, and the twowent stride-for-stride for the latter half of the race. Unlike in the 2007 race,when Rupp felt he had made his final move too soon, he timed his kick per-fectly, waiting until the final 200 meters to move away from Chelanga andearn the first NCAA individual title of his career. He also became the first Duckto win the NCAA title since 1978, when Alberto Salazar, Rupp’s “personal”coach since high school, turned the trick.

Senior Rupp got strong top-10 support from freshman Luke Puskedra (5th)and senior Shadrack Kiptoo-Biwott (9th) as Oregon won its second straightteam title. The other scorers for coach Lananna were redshirt freshmanMatthew Centrowitz (45th) and sophomore Diego Mercado (54th). Round-ing out their top-seven were Kenny Klotz (66th) and Rupp’s Olympic team-mate, Andy Wheating (75th).

In a battle tinged with irony, Iona and Wisconsin ran 2–3 for most of the race(Mick Byrne had guided Iona to a 2nd-place finish in 2007, but then took overfor Jerry Schumacher at Wisconsin in 2008). The Gaels, now coached by oneof Byrne’s former runners at the New Rochelle school, Ricardo Santos, held onfor its second straight runnerup finish, while the Badgers slipped to 4th behindStanford, which was led by the 7th-place finish of freshman Chris Derrick.

The other heralded freshman in the race, Oklahoma State’s German Fernan-dez, was moving up in the pack when he went down with an Achilles tendoninjury, having less than a mile to go in the race. Without the expected top-

three finish from Fernandez, the Cowboys, picked by some as the main chal-lenger to Oregon, had to settle for 8th in the team standings.

It was the sixth sweep of the team titles for the Grizzlies of Adams State.Leading the way for coach Damon Martin’s men’s team, which had finished2nd the previous four years, was junior Aaron Braun, who repeated his 2nd-place finish from 2007. Backing up Braun were fellow juniors BrianMedigovich (6th), Ryan McNiff (16th), Luke Cragg (24th), and FlorianTheophile (31st) for a total of 67 points.

Second in the team race at 88 was Adams’ long-time rival, Western State,while Chico State nudged Abilene Christian, the 2-time defending champi-ons, back to 4th, 120–128.

With Abilene’s 4-time winner Nicodemus Naimadu finally out of eligibility,Chico State senior Scotty Bauhs, who was 3rd as a junior in 2006 (he red-shirted in 2007), stepped up to claim the individual title and helped Chicoequal the school’s best finish ever.

For the Adams State women (79 points), who were led by the 4th-place fin-ish of senior Heather Wood, it was their 6th straight (and 14th overall) teamtitle. Rounding out the scoring were junior Lavenna Mullenbach (14th), froshJ.J. Lende (27th), junior Janette Cary (30th) and sophomore Sofia Monroe(32nd).

Cortland: tinyurl.com/nfw4gb

Middlebury: tinyurl.com/mkk53v

Middlebury, the 2006 champions, fell all the way to 15th in 2007, but bouncedback to the top in 2008 to earn its 5th women’s title since 2000.

Leading the way for coach Terry Aldrich’s Panthers was Alexandra Krieg (6th),the only senior in the team’s top five, followed by sophomore Hannah Meier(39th) and three freshmen, Elise Moody-Roberts (57th), Claire McIlvennie(78th) and Margo Cramer (98th).

Finishing behind Middlebury (179 points) in this high-scoring affair wereCalvin (237), Williams (240), and Wartburg (284).

The individual winner was Bethel’s Marie Borner, a junior who finished 17thin 2007.

Long competing in the shadow of its women’s team, winner of seven nation-al titles, Cortland’s men finally had a chance to celebrate their own nationalchampionship, beating North Central for the crown, 80–115. It was a grad-ual, gradual trip to the top for the team, finishing 4th in 2006 and 3rd in 2007.Cortland got top-20 finishes from junior Seth Dubois (7th), senior ShamusNally (11th) and senior Josh Henry (15th), and they were backed up by jun-ior Justin Wager (28th) and Kyle O’Brien (61st).

Hamilton junior Peter Kosgei, 2nd in 2007, won his first national title in crosscountry to go along with the eight that he’s now won on the track.

Kosgei’s National titles:2007—steeplechase2008—800 and mile(indoors), steeplechase, 5000(outdoors)2009—mile(indoors), steeplechase, 5000(outdoors)

Meb Keflezighi, the 2004 Olympic men’s marathon Silver medalist, won histhird national cross country title while Emily Brown won her first at the USACross Country Championships at the Agricultural History Farm Park in Der-wood, MD.

Keflezighi, healthy again after battling injuries the last couple of years, lookedlike a runaway winner at one point, but then had to hold off the late chargeof Tim Nelson, with both runners being timed in 36:06 for the 12K race.

Brown had an easier time of it, winning by more than 30 seconds.

SHOE REVIEWS: Neutral—iii | Motion Stabilizing—iv | Performance—v

This fall, three major trends continue among running shoes: gender specificity, ever-lighter shoes, and incorporation ofinnovative solutions in shoe development. Gender-specific design is becoming a best practice with each brand adapting its technologies and design to make its

shoes better suited to consumers. The old “Shrink It and Pink It” approach won’t cut it anymore. All consumers, but espe-cially women, expect that shoes will cushion or flex appropriately for their size, weight, and gait.

New materials that provide the same or better quality but weigh less are resulting in shoes lighter than their prede-cessors. New compounds and components continue to migrate from other industries and shoes will improve as a result.These materials also are more durable; in fact, fully a third of the Performance shoes in this Review can handle the rigors ofdaily training.

Innovations and approaches to biomechanical challenges are raising the bar for the industry as a whole. Some of theseinnovations have come from the automotive and aerospace industries, but more of the brands are finding opportunities andadaptations to refine their own technologies. This creative engineering and continual search for chemical solutions for allshoe components has resulted in more effective foot protection and improved shoe performance.

SHOE REVIEW2009 FALL


Welcome to the Running Network’s 2009 Fall Shoe Review!

It’s the last weekend in July, on a Sunday night at about midnight. I’ve spent the last few daysmeeting with athletes, coaches, fans, and agents at one of the largest athletic meets in the

world, the Aviva London Grand Prix. On Friday, I witnessed Usain Bolt run a 9.91 for 100 meters into a 1.7 meters-per-second

headwind! The crowd of 16,000 went absolutely nuts. On Saturday, Tyson Gay ran 20.00 seconds for 200 meters despite a sore groin and after two weeks of not running. Later that day,Bernard Lagat led 11 men under 4 minutes in the Emsley Carr Mile, one of the most famous mileraces in the world, dating back to 1953. Afterward, Lagat stood in front of the crowd and said,“I have wanted to win the Emsley Carr race for several years, but most importantly, I wanted tothank the fans. Without you, we, the athletes, could not do what we do.”

Whether at track meets, marathons, or road races, we all celebrate our ability to run, jump,and throw. You may remember an ad from a few years ago that claimed, “It’s all about theshoes.” I’m not certain it’s all about the shoes, but it’s certainly a lot about the shoes. We eachneed to find a shoe that works for us and our particular event. And now more than ever, yourspecific biomechanics need to align with the specifics of a particular shoe.

For the past decade, the Running Network LLC has called on its footwear reviewer, CreggWeinmann, to test, evaluate, and review the latest shoes on the market so that we can provideyou with this Shoe Review. We believe it’s an important starting point on your journey to find yourbest running shoe. And after you’ve had a chance to read Cregg’s reviews, head on over to yourfavorite local running store to try them out.

As one of the 750,000-plus readers of a Running Network member publication, we thankyou for reading this Review and we echo Lagat’s sentiments: We couldn’t do our work withoutyour support.

iii | Running Network 2009 Fall Shoe Review

ASICS Gel-Nimbus 11 $125 With a well-deserved reputation for consistent performance, protection, and quality, the Nimbus 11 keeps the edgy aspects ofthe Nimbus 10 while integrating some new strengths. The upper features asymmetrical lacing (though it has been altered fromlast season’s version), subtly providing the same contoured fit without overlays to irritate the foot. The midsole has a lower pro-file, the heel cradle and large Gel units provide excellent cushioning, and the transition is smooth thanks to the well-spacedsegmentation of the heel. The forefoot flex grooves have slightly wider spacing to improve the toe-off. The similarities are astory here, as well, as the responsive ride and great protection have been preserved and for that, we’re sure the fans of comfortand outstanding cushioning thank ASICS.

“Every time I put them on, I felt the familar feel of a quality running shoe! Comfortable cushion, I like the cushion. Good feel in weight, not reallylight but very comfortable for training. I have been so impressed with the shoe that I am thinking of using them for Rock ‘n’ Roll this weekend.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to very mild overpronation • Sizes: Men 6–14,15,16 (D);7–14,15,16 (2E,4E); Women 5–13 (B); 6–13 (AA,D) • Weight: Men 13.5 oz. (size 11); Women 11.2 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved •Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, Solyte Strobel board (heel)

ASICS Gel-Pulse $85As the entry-end of a line that culminates in the Nimbus and Cumulus, the new Pulse has a lot to live up to. The SpEVA mid-sole demonstrates that there’s plenty of life left in this proven elastomer, and in the Pulse it’s ably assisted by a generous Gelpad, a combination that provides effective and responsive cushioning. The upper is wide open, breathable airmesh that has acomfortable, if not plush feel, and it’s roomy and flexible. The outersole is standard carbon rubber in the high-wear areas, blownrubber in the forefoot, with well-placed flex grooves to keep the ride smooth. The performance and very reasonable price of theGel-Pulse earned it a tie for our Best Value award.

“A great-fitting trainer. There are so many shoes that I have to be careful how I tie to make sure they feel good for longer runs. These feelcomfy every time. The cushioning is good; the midsole compound is responsive. Just a little lighter than the average trainer. Overall, a

very good shoe. Holds up well to day-after-day training.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to very mild overpronation • Sizes: Men 7–13,14,15,16;Women 5–13 • Weight: Men 12.5 oz. (size 11); Women 10.1 oz. • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, EVA Strobelboard

New Balance 758 $90The 750 series continues to offer good performance at a reasonable price. The 758 follows the weight-savings trend by switch-ing to the N-ergy elements in the new crashpad and changing from polyurethane to Abzorb innersoles. The midsole now feelsmore resilient and has a snappier response. The outersole has a sleeker heel, a better supported shank, and additional blownrubber in the forefoot, which add up to a smoother transition. The upper has the supportive feeling of an extended saddle sinceoverlays have been added between the N-lock webbing and the metatarsals—the security is noticeable. Without veering too farfrom its lineage, the 758 is a significant overall improvement over the 757.

“Actually fit okay, but the arch was not quite in the right spot. Cushioning was quite good, and they were fairly stable for a cushioned shoe.A good shoe, which surprised me since New Balance has not been quite right for me in the past. I may have to rethink things.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to very mild overpronation • Sizes: Men 6–13,14,15 (B,D,2E);Women 5–12,13 (AA,B,D) • Weight: Men 11.9 oz. (size 11); Women 9.9 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, Abzorb Strobel board

Nike Air Pegasus+ 26 $85Updating the silver anniversary edition of the Pegasus was approached with care. The midsole and outersole have been retainedintact. The resilient and protective cushioning provided by Cushlon and encapsulated Air has been little heralded, but we thinkit’s about as good a system as you’ll find. The ride is smooth and the cushioning is very good—fine-tuned between cushy andresponsive. The upper sports a few changes, mostly shaving a bit off the overlays here and there, but somehow they found away to reduce the weight of the shoe by more than 2%. The fit is unaffected; it’s still secure and effective with good toe room.Maintaining the price, along with its performance and quality, earned the Air Pegasus+ 26 a tie for our Best Value award.

“I found the fit was secure and comfortable. The cushioning was almost bouncy and seems very durable. With over 100 miles in them,they are still very comfortable. They have a light and bouncy feel to them. I have been very happy with them.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to very mild overpronation • Sizes: Men 7–13,14,15 (D,4E);Women 5–12 • Weight: Men 12.3 oz. (size 11); Women 10.3 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, EVAStrobel board

Pearl Izumi Cruise $110The Pearl Izumi running line has been missing a high-mileage, neutral trainer. Not anymore. Meet the new Cruise. The upperhas a distinctive sublimated graphic and features the seamless construction that contributes to the unique feel of Pearl Izumi’sshoes. The midfoot gets good support from the webbing structure that extends from the eyelets into the midsole and the fore-foot leaves room for the toes without feeling too loose. The midsole cushions effectively thanks to the solid Skydex hemispheresin the heel and the Skydex bag in the forefoot. The outersole features carbon rubber in the heel and high-wear areas of the fore-foot and surrounds blown rubber inserts in the forefoot to add to the cushioning. The smooth ride, protective cushioning, andaccommodating fit earned the Cruise our top honors in the Neutral category.

“They fit well, the lacing is different, but I liked the fit. They have a light sensation, even though they are pretty average weight for a trainer. Thecushioning in the heel was really good, and the flexibility in the forefoot makes them roll well. I was surprised by how well they did for me.”

Puma Complete Velosis $120The Velosis is the first of two new models that lead Puma shoes in a new direction. Well, maybe not entirely new. Perhaps it’smore of a return to the original Complete series shoes. Built on a new comfort last, the shoes put a Puma spin on many of theindustry’s best practices. The upper is breathable airmesh with a plush, but snug fit that runs about a half-size shorter than mostshoes. The ankle and heel fit is enhanced by a memory foam collar and an external TPU heel counter. The midsole is cushy—partly due to the ld Cell Strobel board and Ortholite innersole—but it’s still fairly responsive. The outersole has well-placedflex grooves arranged in a radial pattern making the transition through the gait very smooth.

“Very comfortable to run in. Well padded everywhere; by far one of the more comfortable pairs of shoes I’ve had. Puma did something rightwhen it came to the cushioning. I like the overall look and fit of the shoe.”

Recommended for: medium to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to very mild overpronation • Sizes: Men 6.5–14; Women3.5–10.5 (sizing runs about a 1/2-size short) • Weight: Men 13.8 oz. (size 11); Women 11.6 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved •Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, ld Cell Strobel board (heel), second density (forefoot)

Reebok Premier Verona KFS II $95The Premier Verona KFS II looks sleeker than round one, but the improvements are more than skin deep. The upper features astretchy airmesh not unlike the previous version, but the Kinetic Fit panel allows a better fit across the metatarsals, and the mid-foot has better support from the Vector stripes. The midsole is responsive and has a lower profile. The crashpad is softer, aswell as more effective, thanks to its articulation. The shank has been redesigned—it looks lighter and thinner though we can’tmeasure it to be certain—and now incorporates a strip of the outersole to lend some of the support. The flex grooves are morepronounced and the toespring makes the transition fairly energetic, which was applauded by some of our weartesters. Runnerslooking for responsive cushioning and an accommodating fit should be sure to try on a pair.

“Overall, a good training shoe that feels good on and looks good, as well. Pretty good cushion. Not really squishy, but absorbs shock well.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to very mild overpronation • Sizes: Men 7–13,14,15; Women6–11 • Weight: Men 13.7 oz. (size 11); Women 11.4 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, DMX FoamStrobel board

adidas Supernova Sequence 2 $100The Supernova Sequence 2 keeps its focus on fit, cushioning, and stability, with minor adjustments to dial-in the performance.The upper shifts to a breathable, but more closely woven mesh with softer overlays in the toe, a stretchy “bunion window” inthe women’s version, and more pliable tongue padding. The chassis is virtually unchanged with only the slightest lengtheningof the medial Pro-Moderator support—a change that isn’t enough to alter the ride for most and might be an improvement fora few. With its stable, cushioned ride, the Supernova Sequence 2 is a quality high-mileage trainer.

“Surprisingly fast for such a well-cushioned trainer. Excelled in cushioning especially—on the highest level. Superbly smooth transfer ofweight and energy from heel-strike to toe push-off. Good enough for road racing.” and “Great, snug fit, but still room for toes to wiggle.

Good cushion, but not a lot of bounce. Good, but not overwhelming stability; not as stiff as the earlier version.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with mild to moderate overpronation • Sizes: Men 6.5–13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20; Women5–12 • Weight: Men 12.7 oz. (size 11); Women 11.1 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, adiPreneStrobel board

Brooks Trance 9 $140The Trance 9 telegraphs change. Up top, the fit is closer, the prominent saddle has been reduced to improve flexibility, and newoverlays provide support without restriction. The midsole and outersole feature more pronounced segmenting of the lateralpods that improve flexibility and contribute to an overall weight reduction of 6%. The durable and responsive BioMoGo foamhas proven that sustainability and performance are not incompatible. The well-cushioned ride provides supportive protectionwith a bit more responsiveness. A completely reworked Progressive Diagonal Rollbar, Brooks’ effective multi-density medialsidewall, improves stability. Enhanced cushioning, stability, and improved performance garnered the Brooks Trance 9 our awardas the best shoe in the Motion Stabilizing category.

“The fit is snug. I haven’t developed any blisters or hot spots so far while running. The cushion is great, it’s bouncy and I don’t feel anysinking, squishy feelings. They have good stability and feel as if the shoes are part of your feet. They held up well and felt great.”

Recommended for: low- to medium-arched feet with mild to moderate overpronation • Sizes: Men 8–13,14,15; Women 6–11,12 •Weight: Men 11.9 oz. (size 11); Women 9.9 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, S257 Strobel board

Mizuno Wave Alchemy 9 $110The Wave Alchemy continues to provide reliable support, cushioning, and stability. The size of the stretchy Dynamic Fit inserthas been increased to effectively follow the foot’s movements. Improved stretch in the breathable open forefoot mesh betteraccommodates the metatarsals and an Ortholite innersole adds an extra layer of cushioning. A synthetic leather strap shoresup the rearfoot while allowing an overall reduction in overlays. The midsole has a lower-profile look and feel to it, along witha more pronounced toespring. The reconfigured outersole also amps up the performance, especially in the women’s model, byimproving flexibility. The Wave plate is the more stable asymmetrical configuration which does an excellent job of providing asolid rearfoot feel. By deftly straddling stability and cushioning, the Wave Alchemy continues to exemplify versatility.

“Good comfortable fit; better in the heel. Nice amount of cushioning, the spongy insole adds quite a bit to the feel. The stability really keepsthe foot lined up well, but it feels a bit hard in the heel. They did well for me overall; a good improvement over last year’s shoe.”

Recommended for: low- to medium-arched feet with moderate overpronation • Sizes: Men 7–13,14,15,16 (D,2E); Women 6–12 (AA,B) •Weight: Men 12.9 oz. (size 11); Women 11.0 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted

Saucony ProGrid Omni 8 $110 This update keeps the classic Saucony fit going for runners who need stability. The upper has the open airmesh of the Omni 7but fewer obstructions over the toes, better ventilation, and reduced overlays that are strategically positioned for effective sup-port. The innersole is still made of cushy polyurethane, but it’s now perforated to breathe better and molded for improved fitand better cushioning. The midsole is functionally the same, though the medial second-density is topped with a softer layer ofProGrid which feels better against the plantar fascia. The reshaped and lightened shank still provides the necessary structure.The outersole looks different, but it’s the same effective combination of blown rubber in the forefoot and durable XT-900 car-bon rubber in the heel. The overall feel, quality, and performance of the ProGrid Omni 8 earned it our Best Renovation award.

“Great comfortable fit, no pressure on my bunion. Good support, good stability, but also quite cushy. Got me through training for the SanFrancisco Marathon very solidly. I was quite satisfied with the upgraded feel, and think it is better than the previous version, which I also liked.”

Recommended for: low- to medium-arched feet with mild to moderate overpronation • Sizes: Men 7–13,14,15; Women 5–12 • Weight:Men 12.9 oz. (size 11); Women 11.0 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, HRC Strobel board

Somnio Exact Change $120Somnio is a new brand that customizes the fit and function of its three models (Stability, Neutral, and Motion Control) with 12interchangeable parts to match your foot shape and biomechanics. The Exact Change is its moderate motion-stabilizing modelbuilt on a semi-curved last. The upper is airmesh in the forefoot with tight mesh and overlays in the rearfoot. The dual-densi-ty CM-EVA midsole features chambers in the medial forefoot and lateral heel that can be filled with one of three densities offoam. The FEAT (Functionally Engineered Adaptable Tricomponent) system does its best work inside the shoe with three inner-sole choices that allow you to select more or less volume and cushion. Overpronation can be offset by choosing from threethicknesses of Varus wedges. Authorized running dealers (www.somniorunning.com/about-the-shoes/dealer-locator/) canmeasure and set up a runner in 5 to 10 minutes. So, how do the shoes run? Think high-quality training shoes adapted to you.

“Adaptable system made the fitting better than any shoe I’ve used. Was able to adapt the shoe to my foot—just right on the cushioning—instead of my foot to the shoe. Same with stability: a little was built in, the rest was up to me. Performed as well as any of my recent shoes.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with mild to moderate overpronation • Sizes: Men 7–13,14; Women 5–11,12 •Weight: Men 13.6 oz. (size 11); Women 11.5 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted

ASICS Gel-Evolution 5 $120The best of the ASICS motion-stabilizing shoes, the Gel-Evolution 5 has an unchanged dual-density Solyte midsole that pro-vides good cushioning, heavy-duty stability, and durable, effective traction. The upper has received a bit of refining. The fit isimproved by shaving off a few millimeters of PHF ankle foam and slightly extending the BioMorphic Fit panels to enhance thecomfortable feel. Performance has been enhanced by a 2% reduction in the overall weight—not big numbers, but definitely amove in the right direction. The shoe feels better balanced thanks to an update in the Gel cushioning elements. Bottom line?Runners who expect ASICS’ best IGS performance will get comfortable fit, stability, and cushioning from the Evolution 5.

“The shoe fit well. There are no pressure points and no loose or sloppy areas that allow excess movement. These shoes continue to main-tain their soft pillowy feel when first putting them on. From heel-strike, to load, and through the push-off, I feel secure in this shoe.”

Recommended for: low- to medium–high-arched feet with moderate to maximum overpronation • Sizes: Men 7–13,14,15,16,17 (D,2E);8–13,14,15,16,17 (4E); Women 6–13 (B,D) • Weight: Men 14.4 oz. (size 11); Women 11.8 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved •Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, Solyte Strobel board (heel)

New Balance 1225 $140The 1225 features small but important fit changes. The medial forefoot has improved metatarsal shaping and the top lace eye-lets now cinch down at a more comfortable angle to improve security and work effectively with the N-lock system to provide abetter volume fit. The DTS crashpad is upgraded to N-ergy and the TS2 variable-density sidewall has been replaced byStabilicore, a thermoplastic component that reduces overpronation as well as weight. In fact, this shoe is almost 4% lighter, abig change in a maximum motion-stabilizing shoe. The ride is more dynamic now that the elements interact better with yourfoot motion. Runners looking for support and stability will be pleased with the responsive ride and quality feel of the 1225.

“I really love the fit; snug around the arch and ankle with plenty of toe space. Great cushioning. They’re bouncy and feel great! I felt plen-ty of stability, and they had good traction whether running on trails or pavement. Especially comfortable and well-fitting from the first run.”

Recommended for: low- to medium-arched feet with moderate to maximum overpronation • Sizes: Men 7–13,14,15,16 (B,D,2E,4E);Women 6–12,13 (AA,B,D) • Weight: Men 13.7 oz. (size 11); Women 11.6 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobelslip-lasted, Abzorb Strobel board

adidas adiZero Aegis $110The Aegis splits the difference between a racer and a trainer. Stability and running efficiency have been improved with a newvery low-profile midsole. The upper is a thin airmesh with synthetic overlays providing support. The tongue is open only onthe lateral side, with a webbing loop at the top of the medial side and an elastic band inside to secure the foot; the logo stripesprovide additional support. The very low-profile midsole has a particularly responsive feel to it, and the ForMotion cassette andflat contour of the sole make for a noticeably smooth transition. Consider easing into the Aegis with shorter, periodic runs. Theimproved fitness and efficiency that develop as your muscles adapt make this small (and temporary) accommodation worth-while. Its fit, light weight, and ride earned the adidas adiZero Aegis top honors as our best shoe in the Performance category.

“Great fit, roomy toe box, snug heel. Fairly neutral feeling...no wobble, good stability for something so light. Durable, no observablesigns of wear at 75–100 miles. These are fast, light, awesome.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to very mild overpronation, for faster-paced running • Sizes:Men 6.5–13,14,15; Women 5–12 • Weight: Men 10.3 oz. (size 11); Women 9.5 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobelslip-lasted

Brooks Launch $90The Launch is Brooks’ new speed shoe and that’s clear right from the get-go. A thin, light airmesh is particularly well vented inthe forefoot. The midsole is BioMoGo with Hydroflow in the heel and offers a nicely cushioned, flexible ride. For the über-effi-cient runner, the low-profile Launch may be used as a cushy daily trainer. Whether you race or train in it, nearly all neutral-foot-ed runners will recognize its fast feeling. The outersole is durable HPR, Brooks’ carbon rubber formulation, with enough blownrubber in the forefoot to offer a bit more cushioning than is typical in a speed shoe. Runners looking for a fast, versatile, neu-tral shoe should consider the Launch.

“Great shoes! I like them light, and these were light and well cushioned. They are perfect for the track or tempo runs. I wore them for ahalf marathon and plan on using them for long races.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to very mild overpronation, for faster-paced running • Sizes:Men 8–13,14,15; Women 6–11,12 • Weight: Men 10.2 oz. (size 11); Women 8.3 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction:Strobel slip-lasted, S257 Strobel board

Brooks Ravenna $100The Ravenna is a new shoe from Brooks, but many will see a strong resemblance to its grandfather, the Axiom. The upper isairmesh with sparse overlays. A pair of elasticized eyelets across the instep improve the shoe’s ability to move as the footmoves. The interior has a smooth, comfortable feel. The BioMoGo midsole has a low but not a super-low profile, and featuresa small but effective second-density through the arch to provide support. True to its heritage, the Ravenna is stable, respon-sive, and light. Though not designed as a racer, we think it can be an excellent choice for longer races and is definitely suitedto faster training. Many runners will find that it meets their daily running needs.

“Fit well, close and tightly around the middle of my foot (which I prefer). Well cushioned with decent stability, pretty light for this muchshoe. Versatile enough for daily training even speedwork, like it says on the heel: a go-to shoe.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to mild overpronation, for faster-paced running and everydaytraining • Sizes: Men 8–13,14,15; Women 6–12 • Weight: Men 11.3 oz. (size 11); Women 9.6 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved •Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, S257 Strobel board

Mizuno Wave Precision 10 $95When updating the award-winning Precision 9, the Precision 10 kept what worked in the mid- and outersole, while improvingcomfort and support up top. Retained are the plush interior of the heel and tongue. The airmesh is functionally the same, butthe overlays have been consolidated, the Runbird logo is larger and takes on more supportive duties, and is now repositionedbelow the Dynamotion insert for a better fit. Down under, the midsole and outersole are indistinguishable from the Precision 9and that’s a good thing, as it continues to provide a great blend of responsive cushioning and protection. The Precision 10 willsatisfy runners looking for a durable, lightweight, neutral shoe, and Precision fans have an even better shoe to look forward to.

“With the roomy toe box, the cushion from heel to toe, and the flexible bee-hive (honeycomb), breathable fabric, these shoes kept my feetsecure whether I was scrambling up a dirt hillside or pounding asphalt downhill. These have been my go-to shoes for any type of training.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics, for faster-paced running • Sizes: Men 7–13,14; Women 6–11• Weight: Men 11.4 oz. (size 11); Women 9.5 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted

Newton Sir/Lady Isaac $149With the new Sir and Lady Isaac, Newton Running broadens the scope of its shoes by making the technology originally devel-oped for forefoot strikers now available to heel strikers. This was done by modifying the Action/Reaction membrane so that it’sa little sturdier to accommodate the increased impact of heel strikers, and tapering the shape of the forefoot actuators just a bit.Carbon rubber has solved the durability issues of the forefoot outersole seen in previous models. The upper features the qual-ity, stretchy airmesh used in other Newton shoes, with good support provided via the well-placed overlays. This has added alittle weight, though they are still among the lightest training shoes available. The midsole is well cushioned EVA shaped toencourage rolling onto the toes for take-off. Now heel strikers have a tool to improve their gait’s efficiency. (Men’s pictured.)

“Very comfortable fit, good room in the toes. Light shoe, but I wouldn’t say light like a racer. At first, I didn’t particularly enjoy running inthis shoe, but the more I ran in it, the more I liked it and got used to the feel/ride of the shoe. Sometimes while running I felt as if the

shoe helped with a quick turnover. Made me feel faster and as if I was helped being ‘moved along’ or ‘propelled forward.’ ”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics, for faster-paced running • Sizes: Men 6–13,14,15; Women 5–11• Weight: Men 11.3 oz. (size 11); Women 9.3 oz. (size 8) • Shape: semi-curved • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, EVA Strobel board

Nike Lunar Glide $100 This may be Nike’s most versatile shoe yet. The key to the Lunar shoes is the very resilient Lunar Lite foam which requires sup-portive containment in a firm Phylite shell. The new idea? Reshape the shell and the foam to work with the biomechanics of thefoot. Basically, the firmer shell is thicker on the medial side to curb overpronation, while the inlay is thicker on the lateral sideto cushion heelstrike and allow for lateral release. The upper is plush, breathable mesh with a saddle of Flywire and a pre-molded, external heel counter. The two-part midsole works for all runners whether they overpronate or not. Its flexibility andweight make the shoe ideal for faster running, but its stability and cushioning make it great for high mileage. Its resourcefulapproach, use of materials, adaptability, and reasonable price earned the Lunar Glide our Best New Shoe award.

“Super comfortable; snug fit; very smooth ride. Don’t ‘sink’ into cushion; good balance between feel of road and cushioning. Not crazyabout how they pick up gravel: on one run 7 pieces got stuck in the grooves. Couldn’t really feel them through the cushion, though.”

Recommended for: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to moderate overpronation, for faster-paced running and every-day training • Sizes: Men 6–13,14,15; Women 5–12 • Weight: Men 11.7 oz.

BEST NEW SHOEFALL 2009


SSome random thoughts about the World championships in Berlin:

• It looks like the United States is gradually re-establishing its position as a respectable middle-distance power. There weregenuine U.S. World Championships contenders in both the men’s and women’s 800—imagine, four American womenunder two minutes this year!—and the 1,500, where all six Americans made the Worlds finals, with Bernard Lagat andShannon Rowbury both winning bronze medals. In addition, Lagat took a silver in the men’s 5,000, and Jenny Bar-ringer finished fifth in the women’s 3,000-meter steeplechase, knocking 10 seconds off her American record with astunning 9:12.50 performance. Looking to the future, all but two of these athletes are in their twenties.

• The IAAF has passed a no-false-start rule—one false start and you’re out—which is on balance probably a good idea,and certainly is a good idea in terms of television presentation. But unless it figures out a way to deal with exactly whatwill be considered a false start, and gets starting equipment which really works (remember Jon Drummond in 2003?),there will still be controversy. The Seiko system said Jon and a young Asafa Powell moved, but as Jon lay there on thetrack in Paris saying, “I did not move,” the replay screen showed again and again that he indeed did not move. Fairnessto the athlete should always be the first priority, even ahead of what television wants.

• The IAAF really should do also something about the “rounds” in the Worlds and the Olympics. There were two fallsin three heats of the women’s 1,500 meters, and no wonder, with 14 runners in each heat. That’s just too many. It nowseems that the semifinals in the 800, the 400 and the 400 hurdles are all too often run as three races with the first twoin each to qualify along with the next two fastest. It works for the 400, but not the 400 hurdles and the 800, where thesemi-finals become in effect, mini-finals, perhaps thrilling for the spectators but hardly the way to determine who thebest runner in the field really is. In last year’s men’s Olympic 800 final, several of the best runners in the field went outin the semis, and the final was a snooze. Maybe more rounds are needed, or tighter standards; I’m not sure, but thisreally needs fixing.

• The IAAF’s streaming video, which as a stay-at-home I’ve been viewing on my computer via NBC Universal, is farsuperior to American television, with its limited time (and thus limited coverage) and constant commercial interrup-tions. The IAAF coverage is the closest to being there I’ve ever seen, and Peter Matthews’ witty, intelligent, knowl-edgeable commentary is unmatched (translation: he’s the best ever). Getting up at 3 a.m. to see the Berlin morningrounds nearly turned me into a zombie, but it was worth it.

Finally, Usain Bolt’s 9.58 and 19.19 world records for 100 and 200 meters should start every athlete, and every coach,thinking. Yes, there are limits—but maybe they’re not yet in sight…
