Dear RunMinnesota Readers,As we all are likely well aware, the world’s mosticonic marathon, the Boston Marathon, sustained the worsttragedy in all the one hundred seventeen years of its run-ning. Beginning in the tranquil, New England town of Hop-kinton and ending on Boylston Street in downtown Boston,this race is a sea of humanity. Runners and spectators fromaround the world come to be part of the celebration. This isa Patriot’s Day tradition.

This tragedy strikes close to home, as I schooled inBoston and daily ran these very roads where these callousevents occurred. And, I finally ran my first Boston Marathonduring my final year of law school. And after schooling,nearly every year, I am found either running Boston, cover-ing Boston for RunMinnesota or being a spectator.

But, although I was not at Boston this year, MDRA mem-ber and contributing writer Wayne Gilman was. And hewrites a gripping, first-hand account of this event.

Chad Austin tells us the amazing story about the veryprolific runner John Naslund. I’ve known John and have runwith him occasionally over the last few years. However, I amunable to claim what John can: that he is the sole personwho has run every Grandma’s Marathon, every Twin CitiesMarathon and every Minneapolis Marathon.

And Candy Patrin has begun the first in a series of arti-cles chronicling three runners. It is a sort of “reality show”look at their training for the Twin Cities Marathon right up totheir post-race run of the marathon. We’ll be anxious to seehow things turn out for these runners. In addition, there areother great articles in this issue you won’t want to miss.

I hope you enjoy reading this issue, and I look forward tohearing from you. Please let me know what you liked, whatyou didn’t and what you’d like to see in future issues. Sendyour comments to me at [email protected].

Two Legendary Twin Ports Runners Losetheir Battles with CancerMDRA encompasses runners throughout the entire state of Minnesota, and at the end of March, two legendary Twin

Ports runners both lost their battles with cancer within an hour of each other. Eugene Curnow, 68, of Saginaw, and Kevin

Peterson, 54, of Superior, lost battles with lung and pancreatic cancer, respectively.

R E M E M B R A N C E S

Eugene Curnow, 1945-2013

After surviving a case of Lymes disease and Erly-chthiosis a few years back, which landed Curnow in the hospital, andthen a collapse at the end of the Minnesota Mile two years ago, whichled to quadruple bypass, Curnow’s legendary running career was ul-timately stifled by lung cancer.

Curnow, who was a long time member of MDRA, began his im-pressive distance running career and extraordinary contributions tothe running community at the ripe old age of 39. Curnow said he gotinto competing in longer races after reading a poster about Grandma’sMarathon and thought, “Heck, I can do that.” And he did this everyyear thereafter in addition to 200 marathons and ultra marathons, in-cluding fourteen 100 mile races and only one DNF.

Curnow was best known for his creation, race directing and coursepreparation of the exceedingly grueling Half Voyager for 16 years. TheHalf Voyager is a 25 mile race with a course that travels over chal-lenging terrain from the zoo in Duluth to the city of Carlton.

Curnow’s dedication to maintaining the mountainous, tick filled,clay surfaced, rooty, rocky trail would humble those grumbling racedirectors who moan when they have to simply maintain a road course.Curnow single handedly dragged a lawn mower and weed trimmeronto all the hilly single track sections of the 25 mile Voyager course toclear it.

With his cut off blue jean shorts and an encouraging smile, Curnowwas also responsible for introducing hundreds to trail running and en-couraging them to continue when it got too tough. He took over the co-ordinating and running of Northern Minnesota Track Club (NMTC) falland spring trail series for 25 years.

Every week, Curnow marked the assorted courses all the waythrough the woods. He carried two heavy coolers of soda and somewater into the woods so that runners could replenish after each toughrace. And he timed and kept records.

Kevin Peterson, 1968-2013

Peterson’s saying was, “Life is good,” and he ran throughmuch of his illness and fought back at the pancreatic cancer, living 20months after his initial diagnosis. Peterson once told me this, “Mygoal is being the longest living person with this type of cancer or get-ting kicked out of a hospice because of non-performance.” Petersonsaid running was one thing that helped him get through this, becausehe used the mentality of long distance running by thinking.

Peterson, a lifelong Superior resident, had been part of Grandma’sMarathon since its inception in 1977. He was a member of the foundingorganization, the North Shore Striders, and ran in the inaugural race.When the race went to a nonprofit status in 1987 and needed volunteersto help run the event, Peterson pitched in and continued to help. In 2011,he was the chairman of the 16 member board of directors.

Peterson was an elite master’s runner who finished Grandma’sMarathon seven times, had a marathon best of 2 hours, 36 minutes in

Miami in 1985, ran a Las Vegas half marathon in 1:10 in 1999 at age 40and ran a mile in 4:40. His 5K ranged from 15:30 to 18:00, and his fivemile PR was 24:52.

Throughout his almost two years with the cruel disease, Petersoncontinued to run races such as Fitger’s in April of 2012, the William A.Irvin in June of 2012, and he ran a sub seven mile in the MinnesotaMile last September. In addition, he continued to make appearancesat local races as a participant, volunteer and spectator until late fall.

Both men contributed so much to the running community in dif-ferent ways. Both were incredible role models that others will look upto for many years to come. For those of you MDRA members who haveyet to experience “the power lines,” come on up. I’ll give you a touranytime. Heck, bring a lawn mower and weed trimmer around earlyJuly, and we’ll put you to work.

R unning is one of the simplest, yet most complex movementsout there. On one hand, we’ve been doing it almost all ourlife. It’s ingrained. Instinctual. On the other hand, runningcan be difficult. Think about it: a four hour marathoner run-ning at an average stride rate of 85 will have more than

40,000 foot strikes during the race. There is a lot happening, and smallimprovements can produce huge results.

This article outlines a simple framework I’ve created called Run M5. Ifyou’re seeking to run smarter, faster or injury free, it will always breakdown into one of these five categories. Let’s get started.

distinctions to make in this defini-tion. First, there are certain basicfundamentals that go into running.They are the building blocks ofbeing able to run well. All goodrunners have mastered the basicfundamentals.

Second, it’s important to appre-ciate running as a skill. Improvingyour running is no different thanimproving any other skill, likeplaying the piano, for instance. Itrequires consistent practice. Prac-tice makes perfect. Practice alsomakes permanent.

Tips for Movements

• Relax your hands, arms andshoulders. Any excess tension inthe running stride is wasted en-ergy. The more relaxed you cankeep your muscles, the fasterand more natural your runningwill feel.

• Since your feet are the only pointof contact between you and the

MetabolicsMetabolics is a runner’s trainingprogram and the specific workoutsthat make up the program. Thereare certain benefits that come fromworking out at different intensities.Understanding these will not onlyallow you to emphasize quality overquantity, it will allow you to makeprogress and give you the bestchance of staying injury free.

Metabolics also covers nutri-tion and hydration. It’s the “fuel”that goes into your car. Cleanburning fuel allows you to maxi-mize your miles per gallon andminimize the wear and tear onyour car (body).

Tips for Metabolics

• Separate hard and easy days.Your easy days should be veryeasy and should allow your bodyto recover. Hard days must behard enough to stress your body,in a good way, and make it faster.

• Build your training programaround your “key workouts.” Get-ting faster comes from speedworkouts. Stronger pacing comesfrom tempo runs. Endurancecomes from longer runs. Makesure the key workouts are gettingdone every week.

• Try to drink 100 ounces of watereach day. Yes, this may seemlike a lot, but as little as one per-cent dehydration can have a cor-responding two to three percentdecrease in performance.

• You are what you eat, andgarbage in equals garbage out.Focus on a variety of high qualityfoods, eaten often, in smallquantities, to fuel your trainingand racing.

MovementsMovements is your ability to exe-cute the most efficient, fundamentalmovements in the skill of running.

There are a couple of important

ground, the point of contact isvery important. Strive to be amidfoot striker, and always beaware of which point on yourfoot is actually contacting theground.

• Lean slightly forward, from theankles. Do not hunch forwardfrom the torso. When you dothis, running should feel likecontrolled falling, where you’resimply being “pulled” in the di-rection in which you’re running.

MusclesMuscles is the area that deals withcore conditioning and stabilizationnecessary to run well and stay in-jury free.

Muscles also centers on havinga balanced body. It’s important tounderstand that the body will al-ways break down at its weakestlink. A balanced body is propor-tional left to right, front to back andtop to bottom. By having this, youknow you won’t be over using some

Five “M’s” to Better Running A new system for running smarter, faster and injury free

muscles and under using others,which will lead to faster runningand decreased risk for injury.

Tips for Muscles

• If you’re strength training, besure to do exercises whereyou’re standing on one leg. Doyou notice it’s easier on oneside? If it is, try your best to cor-rect the lesser side.

• Focus on training the entire core.Crunches aren’t enough. It hasto be front, back, sides and theinner core muscles too

• Two good areas to focus on arethe quadriceps (front of thelegs) and the rhomboids (upperback). Quadriceps will help youabsorb impact, especially whenrunning downhill, and rhom-boids will help maintain yourupper body posture when youget tired.

MobilityMobility is a key aspect to runningcorrectly and efficiently. Limitedrange of motion will not only putmore stress on your joints andconnective tissues, it will makeyour running stride more rigid andless flowing.

There are also detriments tohaving too much flexibility, suchas having less joint integrity (thinkof a stretched out rubber band). Itmay also compromise overall run-ning economy. The sweet spot isthe point where you’re flexibleenough to produce your optimalrunning stride, but not so flexiblethat you become less economical.

Tips for Mobility

• Dynamic mobility (movingthrough the full range of motionat a faster pace) is best done aspart of a proper warm up, be-cause it promotes blood flowand gets the body ready for theupcoming workout

• Static mobility (holding a stretchfor a period of time, usually 30 sec-onds) is best done post run be-cause it increases range of motion.

• Soft tissue work (such as foamrolling, the Stick, etc.) shouldalso be done post run to help re-pair and rebuild the muscles andpromote faster recovery.

MentalityMentality is probably the most im-portant, yet the most often overlooked, aspect of running. Aproper mentality puts you in theoptimal mindset to perform yourbest in training and racing. Havingthe “mental edge” means you’remotivated, confident, focused,positive and relaxed. In racing, es-pecially, the mentally strongestrunner almost always wins.

Tips for Metabolics

• Always remember the simpleACE principle: Attitude ControlsEverything. Many times we can-not control what happens to us.We can only control how we re-spond to it.

• Remove your pre-defined limita-tions. Until you do this you’ll al-most always be capped by aceiling that is lower than whatyou’re really capable of.

• When setting running goals, set the goals based on your previous performances. Resistthe temptation to compare yourself to others. There will always be someone faster andsomeone slower.

Aside from the exercise and so-cial aspects of running, I’ve foundall runners want the same threethings. First, they want to empha-size quality over quantity andmake sure they’re training thesmartest way possible. They don’twant to waste their time. Second,all runners want to get faster,whether they admit it or not, be-cause with progress comes en-hanced motivation andsatisfaction. And third, they wantto remain injury free. Nothing isworse than running in constantpain. It takes the joy out of one oflife’s great pleasures.

Follow these tips, and you’ll beon your way to achieving all of theabove. All the best to you.

I n his house, there’s aframed St. Paul PioneerPress story about his“streak.” No, he isn’t one ofthose people that has run

every day for the last 40 someyears. He’s not someone with astreak like running 52 marathonsin 52 weeks. And I don’t believehe’s ever actually streaked whilerunning.

This man’s streak simply refersto having run every Twin CitiesMarathon and every Grandma’sMarathon. Sure, there are 32 peo-ple that have completed everyTCM and there are still three peo-ple that have run every Grandma’s,but there is only one person thathas run them all. John Naslund.

Oh yeah. I forgot to mentionthat the article was written in 1994.

Nineteen years later, the 62-year-old Bloomington resident’sstreak is still going strong. Whenyou consider that in 2013, thesetwo events are in their thirty-sec-ond and thirty-seventh year, re-spectively, you realize howimpressive a feat that is.

And, just for good measure,when the Minneapolis Marathonstarted in 2009, John started anew streak, and he’s now run allfour of those also. One of his mot-tos is, “You can’t run them all ifyou don’t run the first.”

But there’s more to Naslundthan just the streak, and we have toturn back the clock 40 years, to thesummer of 1973, to get to the be-ginning of his running career. TheTwo Harbors native was a memberof the University of Minnesota, Du-luth, track team. However, he was a

pole vaulter, not a runner. After graduating, he began

working more and working outless, and he started to gainweight. Naslund says he had twochoices: buy new clothes to fit hisexpanding waistline or start exer-cising. Having done some easyruns with the distance runners onthe track team, it was an easy de-cision for him.

That summer he began by run-ning three quarters of a mile be-fore stopping to regroup. Thenhe’d turn around and run threequarters of a mile home. By thefall, he had worked his way up tofive mile runs. Soon after that, afriend mentioned that he neededto run the Boston Marathon. Johnsaid okay, but first he needed toqualify for the April race.

Given that there weren’t verymany marathons in the country atthe time, John decided to stickclose to home and train for theLand O’ Lakes Marathon. This racewas held in March and consistedof eight laps around Lake Calhoun.In 1974, there was still ice on thelake, and race day was cold andblustery. Dressed in his best ther-mal underwear, Naslund battledthe elements on his way to a 2:49Boston qualifier. In the process, hewas flung headfirst into the Run-ning Boom.

Naslund’s streak of localmarathons is impressive in and ofitself. However, it’s even more im-pressive when you take into ac-count the number of other eventshe ran during the 1980s, as well asthe speed at which he ran them.

During that decade, he com-pleted 80 races that were eithermarathons or ultra marathons, including several 100 mile races, a24 hour race and even a snowshoemarathon. Think about it. This iseight such events per year for 10years straight.

Next, consider that every yearbetween 1974 and 1999, he ran atleast one sub 2:50 marathon. Thatincludes his 2:28 PR, which wasrun a mere six days after he ran a2:32 marathon. Just thinkingabout his consistency, durabilityand speed boggles my mind.

Regarding his durability,Naslund says, “Shoes are cheap.Doctor visits are not.” This philos-ophy leads him to replace his run-ning shoes early and often, to helpprevent injuries. And doctor visits.

Perhaps some of his infatuationfor shoes dates back to the mid70s when he co-owned the firstrunning store in the area, Body ‘nSole, with Garry Bjorklund andMike Slack. While this store is nolonger around, and Naslund hasmoved on to being a stock broker,he can often be found buying newshoes every couple hundred miles.

That’s not to say that he hasn’thad to battle injuries. When in-juries rear their ugly head, Johnhas been known to resort to walk-ing/running 10 miles a day or twohours a day, whichever comesfirst. Doing this every day maysound a little excessive to most,but it’s a tactic that has helpedNaslund keep his streak alive.

On more than one occasion,John has found himself battling in-juries with a marathon fast ap-

proaching. When asked about hisinjury as race day draws near, he’llsimply say, “I have six hours.” Thisrefers to the six hour time limitneeded to be an official marathonfinisher and, more importantly,keep his streak alive. When askedwhich marathon during the streakhas been the hardest, the 62-year-old Bloomington resident replies,“The next one.”

I’ve been lucky enough to runwith John on occasion for a num-ber of years now. Someone withhis history of running has a lot ofgreat stories, and wisdom, thathelp pass the miles of our longruns. During one run, talk turns tothe topic of competition over theyears. John mentions that it’s typi-cally the same people finishingnear the top of his age group year-in and year-out.

However, every so often some-one that started running later inlife will come along and win.Naslund jokes that their “freshlegs” give them an advantage.When I mention that I should justretire until I’m 60 years old, so Ican come back with my own set offresh legs, he simply responds,“You only live once.”

With this comment, it’s obviousthat Naslund would rather have along career of tired legs, thanfresh legs for a short period. Andit’s at this point when I realize thatwhile the streak is important, it’smore about running in general. Forwith those tired legs come 40years of experiences that can’t bebought, but are earned. One stepat a time.

John Naslund and his unrivaled major Minnesota marathon streak BY CHAD AUSTIN

Unprecedented

11 MAY/JUNE 2013

A fter training through a long Minnesota win-ter, my wife, Jenny, was ready to get on theplane, family in tow, and head to Boston to

run the one hundred seventeenth BostonMarathon. She had qualified and had dreamed ofrunning this iconic race. It was a rainy and drearyFriday as we flew into the New England area. Thefew days we spent in Boston were just as a runnerwould expect. Hotels, restaurants, shopping andsight seeing were excellent.

The expo had great stuff andeye catching attractions. BillRodgers was signing his newbook, Marathon Man, at a nearbyBarnes and Noble. Meb Keflezighi,Ryan Hall, Shalane Flanagan andKara Goucher were at the exposigning autographs. With an armfull of running gear covered withBoston Marathon branding, we leftcontent and ready for the race onMonday. The Boston communityknows how to put on a marathon.

Jen was off riding the shuttlebus to the start early on Monday

morning. My two high schooldaughters and I took the “T” (sub-way) to the start of the race. Wewere plenty early so we couldscout out the area. We shoppedand ate before walking to the fin-ish line.

Madeline (17) and Emma (15)were tired and a bit bored with theidea of standing and watchingcountless strangers run. We mean-dered up one side of the last mileand back down to the finish. Witha race nearly three times biggerthan the Twin Cities Marathon, the

logistics also accommodated acrowd that was three times bigger.

The shuttle bus system, dropbag areas and family meetingareas were massive. We found thespectators to be as interesting asthe runners. As the top runnersran by, we would stop and cheerand clap. It took a long time to getback to the finish due to all thepeople. About 45 minutes earliermy daughters and I stood rightwhere the bombs went off.

Our plan was to meet Jen in thefamily area in section “G.” Wetried to find a spot near the finishto watch Jen come across the fin-ish line, but it was too hard to see.There were just too many bodies. Idecided to move back to the familyarea and wait for Jen. Thank good-ness we did that or our daughterswould have been exposed to thehorror that was about to occur.

The family area was packedwith people trying to connect withloved ones. The noise and massivenumber of people led to sensoryoverload for the girls and me. Wewaited while I watched my phonefor updates on Jen’s status. Jen

was expected to cross the finishline any moment since she wasabout four hours into the race.Everyone heard explosion numberone and seconds later a secondsomewhat smaller explosion. Itwas at this point our BostonMarathon took a turn making itdifferent from any other marathon.

Thousands of people all aroundus fell silent. Everyone stoppedtalking. It was eerie. I didn’t ini-tially assume it was a bomb. I ra-tionalized to my daughters that itwas possibly a collapse of a struc-ture or problem with the subway.We were about two blocks awayfrom the point of the explosions.The next minutes were a risingflood of panic and uncertainty.

The timing of Jen’s finish andthe actual explosions were ex-tremely close. The alerts on myphone said Jen had finished but Ijust couldn’t be sure where shewas right then. Runners started ar-riving in the family area upset andin tears saying to family andfriends that there were explosionsand people were hurt and killed.Madeline called Jen’s phone. While

there was a connection they could-n’t hear each other. Madeline hungup after a minute or so.

Emma was visibly upset and cry-ing now. We just wanted Jen backso we could get out of this crazysituation. A guy standing by ushelped me calm Emma and Made-line a bit. I tried to carry on a con-versation with him, but it was justgetting more and more chaotic.

A couple of young men camethrough shouting for the people toleave. They said there could bemore bombs and we should getout of here. I told the girls to ig-nore them. “We don’t know if thisis true,” I said. I wasn’t going toleave without Jen. Jen was eventu-ally able to text a message toEmma so we knew that none of uswere hurt.

Jen had finished three minutesahead of the point of the explo-sion near the finish line. Her run,to that point, was just the way sheimagined. The race course waschallenging and the people wereamazing. She turned and saw thesmoke from the blast. The volun-teers kept the runners movingthrough to the bag drop area andthe family area.

Finally, Jen emerged out of thecrowd. Crying, she fell into ourarms. After a long hug we came upwith a plan to follow a map andwalk the few miles back to ourhotel. Our adrenaline was pump-ing and I was on full alert for signsof danger and panic.

We walked arm-in-arm along aroute I had on a tour bus map. Itwas a direct and safe route to walkdirectly away from the bomb siteand to the Marriot Hotel. Street bystreet, the various shops andstores had TVs turned to the newsas they watched the reports of thishorrible tragedy.

We heard that they moved thefamily meeting area and the dropbag area. This must have been amajor logistical undertaking. Fromthe original 26,000 runners some4,500 could not finish. Race offi-cials stopped everyone on thecourse. I am not sure how they gotall the runners back to the finish.Finisher medals are going to bemailed out but many drop bags re-main unclaimed.

At our hotel and surroundingrestaurants, teams of state policearmed with AR-15s patrolled thearea. From the moment I knew Jenwas okay, I started notifying familythat we were safe. I put a messageon Facebook to that effect as well.We left Boston the next day assoon as possible. Delta Airlinesout of Manchester treated ourfamily extremely well. They knewJen had run the marathon, be-cause she wore her participantshirt on the way home.

This frightening end to a grandold marathon served to remind myfamily how important we are toeach other. Words like “BostonBomber” and “Pressure Cooker”now take on a different meaningfor us. This close call will foreverchange us. Personally, I get moreemotional about the safety ofloved ones. Large groups causeme concern. I trust race officialswill learn from this and increasepublic safety. Jen and I will con-tinue to run marathons. We mayeven go back to run BostonMarathon again.

Hello spring. Pack away that balaclava,those insulated gloves and your subzero runningtights. It’s time to take an inventory of your springand summer running gear and get in those entriesfor any favorite races that you want to have on yourcalendar.

Three Minnesota runners, Tom Huberty, KevinRassier and Kate Williamson, have a couple ofthings in common besides a love of the sport. Theyall have the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon (TCM)on their 2013 running calendars. They will also besharing their running history, training and TCMrace experience with RunMinnesota readers.

Starting with this issue, through the annual TCMpost-race recap, you will gain some insights intohow the three runners train for and run the event.Perhaps you will recognize the same challenges andpreparation in your own running. Although the se-lection of Huberty, Rassier and Williamson to sharetheir journey in this article was somewhat random,their stories are all inspirational.

The TCM Reality ShowEPISODE 1

14MAY/JUNE 2013

What would a Minnesota running reality show be without one of the TCMCharter Club members?

Tom Huberty has completed every TCM to date and has taken different approaches to what he refers to as its“survivability.” In recent years, Huberty has employed the Galloway run/walk method to keep him on a 12 to 13minute per mile pace and under the six hour TCM cutoff. He plans to follow that routine this year as well.

Between now and October, Huberty will be busy as he keeps up with his consulting business work scheduleand fits in his running. To kick off his training for TCM, Huberty has completed two April marathons: St. Louis,Missouri, and Eugene, Oregon.

Those events, plus the Air Force Marathon in September, will bring Huberty to 30 states towards his 50 statesgoal (plus the District of Columbia) and make TCM 2013 his one hundredth marathon. Huberty’s other trainingtactic is to follow Weight Watchers® and lose the pounds he has gained over the winter. “I am built for comfort,not for speed,” says Huberty.

Huberty started running in 1978 after his discharge from the Navy. In August of that year, his younger brotherTerry died after being hit by a car in Hastings, Minnesota, while out on a training run. The next month, Hubertycompleted his first race as a memorial to his brother, and soon he was doing other events and longer distances.

At the 1979 MDRA annual meeting, Huberty met Doug Laird, who was organizing a new running group, theMinnehaha Marathoners. Club members were expected to set an objective to complete a marathon.

Huberty accomplished that goal in October 1979 at the City of Lakes Marathon with a time of 3:20. By then,Huberty was hooked on doing marathons, and he continued to add others to his running resume, includingGrandma’s Marathon and the Black Hills Marathon, his first out of state event.

In 1982, Huberty entered the inaugural TCM because the schedule suited his training needs. He crossed thefinish line with a 2:59:34. “I continued to run Grandma’s and TCM yearly for the next several years until I realizedI had a 10 year streak at TCM, then a 15 year streak, etcetera,” says Huberty. Also, during that timeframe, Hu-berty did more marathons out of state, as well as the FANS 24 hour event in Minneapolis, where in 1993, he fin-ished with 93.4 miles.

As the years ticked by, TCM became the “center point” of Huberty’s running, with his main objective being tokeep the streak going. He even incorporated the marathon terminology into his management consulting busi-ness by writing a booklet, “26.2 Tips to Win Your Business Marathon.” Then the unexpected happened.

In August 2005, Huberty received a preliminary diagnosis of prostate cancer, which was confirmed when hehad a biopsy the week after TCM. He went through surgery in December 2005, one week following the HonoluluMarathon. When it was determined that the cancer was still present, Huberty started hormone and radiationtherapy. He had a total of 37 radiation treatments during October and November 2006.

In December, Huberty went on to finish the Dallas White Rock Marathon with a 5:58 by following the Gallowaymethod. “I have been blessed to be cancer free so far for the past six years,” says Huberty.

Huberty plans to continue doing TCM as long as he can make the six hour time limit. He is grateful for themany friends, family and running partners he has known over the years, including the Minnehaha Marathoners.“My wife, Elizabeth Watkins, has been very supportive and tolerant of my travel and my pre-race preparations,”says Huberty.

Watkins typically rides her bike to meet Huberty at the 15 mile mark and then continues along West RiverRoad to Lake Street to see him again. She continues on to the finish, where Watkins waits for Huberty at the VIParea reserved for Charter Club guests. “She has watched me run the TCM since 1994, and she said a couple ofyears ago, humor twinkling her eyes, ‘You used to waste a Sunday morning, now you are starting to ruin thewhole day,’” recounts Huberty.

Huberty has some instructions for Watkins to carry out, in what he hopes to be, a date far into the future. “Sprin-kle some of my ashes on West River Road, two blocks from our home, where I put in most of my training miles, butspread the bulk of the ashes along Summit Avenue, because I die there every October,” says Huberty, jokingly.

Like Huberty, Kevin Rassier wants to make TCM 2013 his one hundredthmarathon, a goal that he set in 2009 after finishing a marathon in each of the50 states. At that point, Rassier had already completed 79 marathons. Tomake his one hundredth marathon goal at TCM, Rassier has come up with acouple of scenarios to get in the few 26.2 milers that he needs before October.

To stay in marathon shape, Rassier runs from 40 to 50 miles per week. He gets in three to four runs of aboutsix miles each during the week and leaves the long runs for the weekend. He will typically fit in two or three 20milers before a doing a marathon.

“I truly enjoy doing the long training runs and often find myself looking for a marathon to run, because I’mtrained for one, rather than signing up first and then doing the training,” says Rassier.

Rassier, who is a teacher by profession, started running in his 30s, primarily during the summer months. Hewould stop running once the school year started in the fall. Every October, Rassier’s brother, Dan, age 57, ranTCM. Rassier would bring his brother to the start and cheer him on during the race. Every year Dan would encour-age Rassier to run TCM.

In 1994, Rassier hatched an idea to surprise his brother and entered TCM, which he thought would be his oneand only marathon. During that summer, Rassier’s brother was traveling in Europe, which made it easier to trainfor TCM while keeping it a secret from Dan. He finally told Dan about his entry the day before the marathon.

The brothers did not run together during that marathon, although Rassier recalls getting support from an-other runner as he was crossing the Franklin Avenue Bridge. Rassier had just entered that uncharted territorywhen you surpass your longest distance. “He [the other runner] just encouraged me saying that I looked greatand to keep it up,” says Rassier.

Through the years, Rassier has gotten support from several family members, including another brother, Mike,who has helped with travel arrangements for several of his marathons. His wife, Etta, and children, Nicole andPaul, have also watched several of his marathons. “It is always great to see family and friends on the course dur-ing a marathon,” says Rassier.

Rassier put together a 10 year streak at TCM until he had to skip a few years when he was working on his 50states. The 2013 TCM will be the fourteenth time he has run the event. “I can honestly say that of the differentmarathons I have done, TCM has been my favorite marathon to run,” says Rassier.

In the last few years, Rassier’s biggest challenge has been to limit the number of marathons that he runs. Acouple of factors help him keep that desire in check. Rassier still wants to make his Boston qualifier time, whichrequires solid training to finish under 3:30. In addition, due to his teaching schedule, Rassier must pick racesthat fall during breaks or three day weekends.

Rassier thought about the marathon that would mark his centennial run. In the end, it was probably an easydecision for him. The race organization, spectators, runner support, beautiful course and spectacular view of thefinish line coming down John Ireland Boulevard makes for a glorious day, according to Rassier.

“I had thought about which marathon I wanted to be my one hundredth marathon and considered Boston, butthe more I thought about it, the more I realized I wanted to make my favorite marathon the one I run for my onehundredth,” says Rassier.

16MAY/JUNE 2013

October will be a memorable month for Kate Williamson. Not only will she berunning TCM, she is getting married a couple of weeks after the race. Herbusy schedule is all the more reason for Williamson to stay focused and moti-vated in her training. To help her maintain her running schedule for TCM, sheplans to do some of her training with other runners.

Williamson started running in 2001, mainly as a way to get in her two to three mile walks at a faster pace. Shealso looked at running as a way to improve her physical fitness. Williamson went to a 10K spring clinic at a localrunning store, where she met other runners and learned more about the sport, gear and nutrition. She finishedthe 10K, which led to the TC 10 Miler and then her first marathon at TCM in 2004.

Williamson is an elementary school music teacher and also a yoga instructor. She uses a lot of yoga in hertraining and says that the discipline helps to build strength and develop muscles that are underused in running.

Williamson currently gets in a few short runs during the week with a mid-distance run on the weekend. Some-times she will run solo, and other times she meets friends, using the time to catch up with their lives. “Along theway, I have made many connections through running,” says Williamson. “In fact, three of my bridesmaids aresome of my favorite running and/or yoga partners.”

Although Williamson has not faced any major injuries during her running career, she knows what it is like tobe forced to take time off from the sport. In December 2008, Williamson donated a kidney anonymously. A fewdays afterwards, she got on the treadmill to walk for 20 minutes or the distance of about one quarter mile.

It was a humbling experience to go from running several days a week to facing a long, slow recovery. Tenmonths after the surgery, Williamson did the Nike Women’s San Francisco Marathon with some of her friends.“To this day, when I am having a tough run, I try to be grateful that I have a body that allows me to run and knowthat there are many people in the world that are not able to run for whatever reason,” says Williamson.

There are a couple of reasons that Williamson enjoys doing TCM, and she is quick to recommend it to friends.At the top of her list is being able to sleep in your own bed and see friends throughout the course. There is alsothe beauty of the course itself and the various entertainers along the route to help keep your interest. Plus, thedownhill finish to the capitol is hard to beat, according to Williamson.

In addition to the San Francisco Marathon and several TCMs, Williamson also has done Grandma’s Marathonand the Rochester Med City Marathon, where she put in a little more than 26.2 miles. Part of the Rochestercourse was on a trail. Williamson said she ended up getting lost and was forced to back track.

Williamson has thought more than once after finishing a marathon that it would be her last at that distance.However, when spring shows itself, Williamson says that she has a change of heart. She reminds herself that tofinish a marathon is amazing, and there is the tendency of runners to get focused on a certain pace or time,when just crossing the finish is cause for celebration.

Williamson can be reflective about her running. She says that it is more about the journey of what it takes torun instead of crossing the finish line. “Some days the journey is easy and clear, other days you get lost on thepath and little things seem hard,” says Williamson. “You fall down and get back up.”

Preview: The TCM Reality Show: Episode IIA look at the runners’ progress to dateHere are some of the updates in the next RunMinnesota issue. What will the training conditions be for theserunners? Will Huberty find success with his diet and training plans? Can Rassier get in the marathons heneeds to reach the 100 goal at TCM? Has Williamson been able to balance her training and wedding plans?

to their peers or using the aforemen-tioned age graded calculator for com-parison. Others continue to set goalsfor themselves.

Sharon Stubler’s goal is to run amarathon in every state, and JessKoski has a goal of running subthree hour marathons in every fiveyear age group since his teens. He’sdone it eight times so far and hopesto make it 10. Bruce Mortenson’sgoals are about going the distance.The 69-year-old says, “Heck, it’s theonly thing I’ve been good at mywhole life. I want to see how long Ican keep at it.”

But, Bonnie Sons does a greatjob of summing up what’s really im-portant to these runners: the love ofthe sport, the experiences along theway and the health benefits. Shesays, “I love to run. For me, timesand places are not what is impor-tant. Don’t get me wrong. I’m ascompetitive as the next person toe-ing the line, but when the race isover, it’s over. It’s the people youmeet, the experiences along the wayand the goal of staying healthy thatkeep me running and racing.”

I doubt Bob Dylan was thinkingabout Masters runners when hepenned, “The Times They Are A–Changing,” but that’s what comesto mind when I think about the last verse:

The line it is drawnThe curse it is castThe slow one nowWill later be fastAs the present nowWill later be past The order is rapidly fadin’And the first one now will later be lastFor the times they are a-changin’

No, I wouldn’t call turning 40 acurse, but the times, and the body,are definitely changing. The goodnews is that these Masters runnershave adapted as they’ve grown olderand, more importantly, their love ofrunning is as strong as ever. And inthe end, that’s really what this sportis all about.

New member registration is down, as are renewals; this is typical for February. Ad-ditionally, we are still waiting to receive new memberships resulting from the 2013Explore Challenge. Since membership hit its recent peak in October 2012 (2,517), ithas fallen into a downward trend. New memberships are holding, so the largerissue is the significant number of non-renewals. Several strategies to address thisattrition were discussed. First course of action will be an additional email reminderdelivered ~45-60 days prior to month of expiration, followed by the normal USPOmail reminder ~30 days prior to expiration, and then an email from the Presidentthe month following expiration for those still not renewed.

MEETINGMINUTES

R U N N I N G I N S I G H T S

30MAY/JUNE 2013

T hey say there are twocertainties in life:death and taxes. Ofcourse, runners knowthat there’s a third cer-

tainty: the inevitable slowing ofour running. Oh, you don’t realizethis right away. In fact, whenyou’re young, you think it’ll neverhappen to you. Then, when you’reold, you think it’s happening onlyto you.

At some point, it happens toeveryone, and now that I’m in my40s, it’s happening to me. Just tomake sure I’m “normal,” I decidedto seek out some of the best Mas-ters runners in the area to see whatthey experienced as they agedwhen it comes to performance, in-juries, training and motivation.

PerformanceThe first thing that I noticed whentalking with these Masters runnersis that they seem to fall into one ofthree categories: (1) those thathave been running “forever,” (2)those that started running later inlife or (3) those that stopped run-ning after high school or collegeand then re-joined the runningranks years later.

When it comes to performance,the general consensus among thefirst category is that it graduallydrops off over time, rather than ex-periencing substantial drop offs allat once. This assumes your run-ning is receiving the same level ofcommitment year after year.

If extenuating circumstancesarise, such as long term injuries ora shift in priorities, your perform-ances are going to drop off at a

much faster rate. This was thecase with Kelly Keeler-Ramacier. Atage 42, she experienced an injurythat took nearly two years to re-cover from. Then at 45, she be-came a stepmother, and herpriorities shifted dramatically. Shesays, “Running was not my mainfocus anymore.”

If you fall into the second orthird category, having started, orre-started, running later in life, thegood news is that you are morelikely to continue improving yourtimes. Gloria Jansen is Minnesota’smost decorated female runner,having won 18 Runner of the Yeartitles. She didn’t start runninguntil her mid 40s, and her timescontinued to improve until shewas 50.

More recently, Lance Elliott re-turned to running after a 15 yearhiatus following college. Not onlyhas the former 4:04 miler contin-ued to improve over the last twoyears, setting state age records forthe mile, but he’s also found him-self competing against the bestMasters runners in the nation.

It may be hard to compare ourperformances to people like Gloriaand Lance. Luckily, the World As-sociation of Veteran Athletes cre-ated an age graded calculator thatallows you to adjust your perform-ance to what it theoretically wouldhave been during your prime run-ning years. The calculator also al-lows you to judge yourperformance, using achievementpercentile, without bias for genderor the aging process. Simplysearch the internet for “WAVA agegraded calculators” to learn more.

Injuries and TrainingInjuries and training go hand-in-hand for runners of any age. But,how do these things change onceyou become a Master? Surpris-ingly, no one really mentionedhaving to deal with injuries morefrequently since turning 40.

Perhaps this is because they allseemed to talk about listening totheir body and taking time off im-mediately when injuries rear theirugly head. As Gregg Robertsonsaid, “It sounds easy, but you haveto listen to your body. When it’shinting that I’m lacking something,I take care of it. That has helpedkeep injuries to a minimum.”

Not only do they listen to theirbody when it comes to injury, butalso when it comes to recovery.Even if they are running fewer milesper week than they did in theirprime, these athletes know it’s allabout the recovery. Kelly Mortensonstrives for two recovery days afterhis long runs and hard sessions.

He says, “When I was younger Inever thought much about my re-covery days, but now I take itsuper easy on my off days.” Keepin mind that “super easy” canmean slowing down the pace ofyour recovery runs or it can meana complete day of rest.

As stated earlier, listening to

your body sounds easy, but it’snot. During Keeler-Ramacier’s set-back, she struggled with figuringout the training that would allowher to get back to running and rac-ing. She states, “It took manymonths to figure out what I coulddo consistently without having anysetbacks. It was a very frustratingtime for me.” This experimentationled her to cut her weekly mileagenearly in half and reduce hardworkouts to one per week.

Many of these Masters runnershave scaled back their weeklymileage, but this doesn’t meanthey’ve decreased their overalltraining load. They’ve simplyadded other ancillary training tohelp stay in shape.

Keeler-Ramacier has addedtime on the elliptical machine inorder to maintain aerobic fitnesswithout the pounding. Other popu-lar choices among the group areyoga and strength training asmany mentioned their lack of flexi-bility and the loss in strength asthey age.

MotivationSeeing these runner’s names at thetop of their age group year afteryear makes me wonder how theystay motivated. Some use “tricks”like simply comparing themselves
