Carver 5M

By John Barbour

Fil once again missing the camera.  Photo courtesy of Ted Tyler.

Carver Cranberry 5M (USAT-NE Championship), Carver MA (7/27/13) –Mark Reeder and Denny LeBlanc won championships and Layce Alves broke through at Carver.  Layce’s wanted to break 18:00 for 5K all year, and after nearly breaking 30 for 5 miles at Carver that seemed a foregone conclusion.  (She did it the following Tuesday in Beverly.)  Alves streaked to a sixth-place finish to lead GLRR’s open women to a 5th-place finish out of 13 teams.  Reeder for his part held off Whirlaway’s Mike Cooney to take the Senior trophy in a superb 27:10 as that pair buried what is normally a tightly-contested division, and was the top age-graded male at 92%.  (Check out Ted Tyler’s great three-photo sequence of Mark nearing the finish on coolrunning.)

Other top age-group performances came from ageless SuperVet champion Denny LeBlanc, Kara Haas (2nd Master), and Patty Foltz (2nd Veteran).  James Sullivan’s 27:06 led the Open men to 9th place.  Other team finishes: Masters women 3rd, Masters men 7th, Senior women and men 3rd, Veteran men 4th.  USATF-NE Grand Prix team standings after 4 races: Open women 10th (27), Open men =8th (34), Masters women 2nd (24), masters men 4th (26), Senior women 4th (12), Senior men 2nd (25), Veteran men 2nd (17).

Hollis Fast 5K

By John Barbour

The women's start.  Courtesy of Wayne Flanagan Photography.

Hollis Fast 5K (USATF-NE Championship), Hollis NH (6/13/13) – Perfect temperatures, a light, soft rain, a gradual downhill course – what could be better?  Yet possibly the best things about the Hollis 5K were the re-emergence of GLRR’s Open teams and GLRR’s huge numerical turnout.  As good as oldie stars Mark Reeder, Trish Bourne, EJ Hrynowski, Liane Pancoast and a few others are, they’d agree that it’s long past time that they stop being Open scorers.  Speaking as a near-Veteran ourself, it was great to see so many young legs and green singlets with whom I could not match strides.  The women’s open team placed 8th of 20 and the men 10th of 21; Ryan Gough led the led the way with 14:57 as five packed within 50 seconds.  Top team and individual performances came from women Masters, Kara Haas running away another championship and the team placing a very competitive 2nd.  Senior women were 3rd led by Pancoast’s 55-59 age group win.  Masters and Senior men were 8th and 3rd; Veterans shone as Rich Molloy led GLRR’s men to 2nd, one second ahead of GMAA; he and Denny LeBlanc went 1-3 in the Super-Vets as Patty Foltz was #2 Vet woman.

Predictor Workouts

By James Sullivan

The challenge in training is to figure out what is the best time to go out for at your race. You don't want to take it out too slow and underestimate your abilities, but even worse, you don't want to finish in a death march to the finish line. Finding balance is always the key. The most common workout discussed is Yasso 800s. For those who aren't familiar with Yassos, here's the theory:

10 by 800 with equal rest between intervals. Run the splits at your marathon goal time for instance 3:05 marathon would be 3:05 or 6:10 pace. Some people have success with this workout, however, most do not. The reasoning for this is the yasso workout is not a marathon specific workout. The intervals will commonly be run fairly close to your 5K/10K  pace, which may or may not have much to do with your marathon fitness. In the fall of 2012, I was running yassos at about 2:40-2:45, well before I broke 3 in the marathon. Some people are just in better shape for the 5k than they are for the marathon and visa versa.

How do we find out our fitness for our next goal race? A common method is to run a shorter race that will translate your fitness to your longer race. The theory is that your fitness will be fairly similar over multiple distances. For example, assuming you are adequately trained for both a half and a full, a half marathon is a greater indicator for a full. There are many tools online such as the McMillan Race Calculator (http://www.mcmillanrunning.com) to help you find equivalents. The key is having the volume necessary for both distances. If you run a really great half, but in the process have never run more than 14 miles, then predicting out your marathon won’t necessarily work very well. It will, however, show you potential, with proper training. Another point to add is that the longer the predictor race the more accurate the findings. 5Ks generally don’t predict nearly as well as half marathons, in predicting your marathon time. We train entirely different for these events.

An example of this is my Boston in 2013. My races leading up were 16:20 in the 5k and 1:13 in the half marathon. Many of you have heard this story, but two nights before Boston, Dave Camire bet me he could guess within a minute of what time I would run at Boston. He wrote it on a piece of paper and I didn't look at it and put it in my wallet. At Boston, I ran a 2:38:41 and Dave guessed I would run a 2:38:46. Very impressive, but kind of simple of how he determined what I would run: He knew what he ran at Boston, when he had similar 5k and half times leading up. Another example is EJ Hrynowski and his Stu's 30K indicator race. Due to the hilly nature of Stu's, EJ routinely will run the same pace at Stu's as he will at Boston (because there are no hills at Boston). With this in mind, I've heard Glenn say that many people have left their fall marathons on the Nahant 30K course. Much of this probably depends on the proximity of how close the 30K is to your fall marathon. It will be interesting to see how club member's Nahant pace stacks up against their fall marathon.

(EJ, Michael Brodeur, Ken Goodin, Mike Girouard, and Bob Croke at Stu's prior to EJ running 6:25 pace for 30k, his time at Boston this year? you guessed it. 6:25 pace)

What if you don't want to race and you specifically want to gauge fitness prior to a race? One great workout I've seen success with is 5 x 1000 at 5k Pace (200 recovery). Add up each 1000 and that is the time you should be able to run at the 5k. Bashkim Zaganjori did this workout prior to his most recent PR in the 5K. He did the intervals in 16:56, and shortly thereafter, broke 17 minutes and ran 16:58 at Good Times 5K. The 200 recovery makes this a reasonable workout, so that you can recover quickly thereafter, but its hard enough that it should tell you very close to your 5k fitness.

(Bash ran 4:31 pace for the last .1 of this race to get the oveted sub 17 he worked so hard for-Photo courtesy of Ted Tyler)

I also did this workout prior to my most recent PR in the 5k. The workout came out to be 16:03 and 4 days later I ran 15:58 at the New Balance Twilight Meet. When you do a workout like this you should feel very in control during the workout. It shouldn't feel like an all out race effort.

 Another workout I like is 7 miles run at goal half marathon pace, with a 3 mile warm up and a 3 mile cooldown. This is a fairly hard workout, and has to be built up to. Start with 4 miles at half pace and slowly add on throughout your training cycle. Every couple weeks add on to the distance run at half pace. Being able to run 7 miles at your half marathon pace with no Adrenalin, no crowd support, and no one to chase will make the first half of your race feel like a breeze. Again, you shouldn't be racing the 7 miles of the workout. Your 7 mile race time should actually be much faster, so you should feel in control.

For your folks running Lone Gull 10K or Falmouth, a good predictor workout is 2 x 6k (5 mins rest) at 10K pace. Kara Haas ran this workout leading up to the BAA 10K at 5:55 pace. The result? She ran 37:47 (in brutal conditions I might add), won her division and was 10th overall for females in a very competitive race.

(Coverglrr Kara Haas)

The key to predictor workouts is finding how much is enough that the workout will be hard enough that it will properly indicate your fitness, but it will have enough recovery built in to allow you to fully recover for your race. Race day magic takes care of the rest (Adrenalin, crowd support, people to chase, and proper rest) .

Sons of Italy 5K

By Stavros Kanaracus

Thankfully there were no suns of Italy this Saturday am.  Instead we had a cool slightly drizzly am for the first of the 2 Memorial Day Weekend challenges. As you know or don’t know the Sons of Italy 5 miler and now 5K has continually been on the move, starting on River Road in Andover and moving to Marston Street in Lawrence at the original Sons Of Italy headquarters, them moving to Lawrence Stadium on the 4th of  July and then to a church in Methuen and now to their new headquarters near the Whirlaway Golf and Running Center.

And of course, the course changes from the Apple Orchard hill, to crossing the railroad tracks prior to the train, running the back streets of Lawrence, to an absolutely flat course in 2012 to a new special  5K Marxhall McCluskey designed course in Methuen.  Lots of folks don’t like to miss this race given the lavish spaghetti dinner and homemade sundaes and unique t shirts.  This year a camouflage T-shirt with every imaginable logo. Topping that are additional trophies for the first 3 military veterans and a fun run as well. So as you can see, outdoing Marshall it not always possible even if you are Dave Labrode, the Race Director for the next day’s Baldi Run, the second part of the Challenge.

So now it is almost time to start but I have stayed inside avoiding the cool drizzle while saying hello to Justin Lutz, a fellow Raytheon employee and top notch runner.  I asked  Justin how he got here and he mentioned a flyer posted at Raytheon.  I mentioned to the scorer as we approached the start to keep eye on Justin, as he could win this thing.  John MacKenzie informed me about the hill at the start but provided no further details.
Off we went at 10 am and slightly uphill to the lights (110&113), a left and up and over the hill and now a right turn and up and up and a left turn and up and a right and up and up.  Is this the Mt Washington Road Race or what?   Quite ridiculous, with no warning.  Really ridiculous,  with no warmup.   When I finally reached the top, I was in the slowest of motions. Down and around and up and left and right and left and down and up and down and who knows where to Route 110 for the longer than expected run to the finish, thankfully with a slight downhill.

Yes , Justin Lutz won, in 15:39. Don’t know how he did it but I did notice that he ran the BAA 5K in 15:19 so my 24.:40 was not all  that bad and 2nd Vet.(wow).   Marshall is always able to come up with a new twist and this years’ was running out of results for the 70+ folks.   In any case the food was worth the agony.  Justin left with his trophy.  He also won the same size trophy for the first military vet which I later handed over.

Mountain Washington 2013

By Stavros Kanaracus

from Leo Kenney Photography

Yes, lucky me I got in by the Lottery.  I did miss the last 2 years and what I remembered from those attempts was the start of my walking efforts began once I ran the initial flat quarter mile of the Auto Road.  Well maybe I made it another 100 yards uphill whereupon my heart rate zoomed and I proceeded to walk.  But this time I had trained on the treadmill set to 15 degrees and 3.1 m.p.h. for at least 30 minute intervals strengthening the walking muscles instead of the running ones while also stretching out the calf muscles thereby preventing pins and needles at the 1.8 mile mark where the road really turns steeper.   A good 6 months effort here with no Pack Monadnock, Mt. Wachusett or Christian Hill repeats. So I am ready on this cool day with the 39F at the top and a 30 mile wind out of the north yielding a windchill of 27F.   But weather or not, after my brief warmup I went with a singlet.

My goal:  To realize a life long dream, that of finishing ahead of an excellent hill runner, Jim Fitzgerald whom I could never top even at my best time of 1:37 a while back.  Jim has climbed Mt. Washington numerous times but of late that has not been the case.   So after Dave McGillivary said a few encouraging words and thankful ones as well in lieu of the Boston Marathon,     You would be glad to not have to be Dave.   I started in the back with Jim and was able to reorient by image of the past 15 years as I gradually moved ahead of him once we hit the hill.  I lasted about 1.8 running and switched to walking once the walkers passed me, alternating thereafter, running the flats, walking the hills.     My brother Nick appeared at mile 1.6 via the Pinkham notch trail, whereupon he proceeded to ask myself and other runners a series of questions about the course such as , “Are you having fun?  You don’t look like it.  Is this the first time you started walking?  Are you familiar with the course?  Why would you want to run such a brutal race?  You don’t look like you are having fun.   What age group are  you in?”   I anticipated Nick running with me but he had too many inquiries to make and once done he handed me a pack of energy dots.  Of course with sweat drenched hands I was unable to open the package.  “Hey Nick how about opening these things?”   He did and then off he went downhill.  He did mention that the lead runners impressed him with their speed of ascension.   Well most live in Boulder and weigh in at 130.

I really thought I had a sub 2 hour ordeal however when I reached the halfway point at 59 and change I knew 2 hours would be out of reach.   Wasted too much time at the start shuffling across the initial flat stretch.   Nevertheless my treadmill training really helped and I moved along the 3 To 4 mile cold downwind uphill stretch without agony.  Too much elevation to try and run.  Once we turned the corner 5 to 7 were directly into a cold wind.  Disappointed, I couldn’t run for the cameraman and once I got to the finish (2:03) I grabbed a Polartec blanket, a hot coffee, not moving from my seat in the Visitor’s Center for an hour as my hands thawed out and then luckily finding  my ride down.   I did realize my dream and without fail encountered Dave Dunham on his way down.  The Hart’s Turkey Farm post race dinner was outstanding as was recognizing the 93 year old finisher prior to the winners.  Unfortunately Lou Peters at 88 was not here this year. He said he would be here if he got in.

I did have to put my hands on my knees to make the last turn but that was about it for that strategy which I had used at starting at mile 4 in the prior two attempts.  The other fortunate items were finding a ride down on the day of the race and warming up prior to it.  And as Will Mason said just before exiting the bus on his way to the starting line at Boston,  “Next year I am really going to train.”

26 x 1 Club Challenge Relay

by Frank Georges
GLRR Communications Director Emeritus

26x1 Team Photo by Jimmy Shelton

On June 22nd, 60 Greater Lowell Road Runners ventured to Tufts University in Somerville, MA to take part in the annual 26 x 1 Club Challenge Relay. This event involves fielding teams of 26 people, each of whom runs 1600 meters with a baton before handing it off to the next runner. The race opens up with a speed leg of approximately 590 meters to make the race be equivalent to the full distance of a marathon. Each scoring team is co-ed and consists of at least 10 females. This year 13 teams from 7 clubs competed against each other, with the objective to be the first to carry their baton over the finish line after running 105 ½  laps around the Tufts’ Ellis Oval track. Our club hoped to improve upon its third place performance from last year.

GLRR again finished 3rd in this year’s race but with a faster time that would have won the event just a few years ago. The club’s time was 2:22:41 and bested last year’s time of 2:26:39 by almost four minutes. We faced stiff competition from the top teams of the Somerville Road Runners and Cambridge Running Club who finished first and second in times of 2:17:26 and 2:19:13 respectively.

The club had many individual outstanding performances. Erin Roberts put down the oars from her nearby crew practice in Cambridge long enough to run a 5:11 split, which was third fastest for any female on the day and enough to win the 20-29 division. Lindsay Willard followed up with a 5:19 split that gave GLRR an early lead which we held for nearly half the race. Lindsay’s time was fourth overall for women and third in her 30-39 division. Trish Bourne carried the 40-49 division with a 5:58 to repeat as fastest female master again this year. Liane Pancoast ran 6:08 to seize the 50-59 division where Lynn Graham was also third with a 6:48. Johanna Riley ran 8:08 in the 60-69 division and continues to garner awards in her age division despite just starting to run competitively only a couple of years ago.

On the men’s side, Steve Gendron led all GLRR’s with a 4:36 which placed third in the highly competitive men’s 20-29 division. Matt Curran and E.J. Hrynowski placed 1-2 in the seniors 50-59 division with times of 5:07 and 5:12. Tom Peters won the 60-69 veterans division in 6:35 and Jon MacKenzie was second in the 70-79 division in 8:09. Many GLRR men ran under  5:00 for their split including Matt Theodoros (4:45), Cody Freihofer (4:47), Andrew Downey (4:48), Michael Smith (4:57) Jason Bui (4:58), and Justin Patronick (4:59).

GLRR’s second full team, called Greater Lowell Road Runners B, did better this year and improved to 2:51:18 from last year’s time of 3:17:15. Every runner on this team was able to run a mile in under 8:00 and most were well under 7:00. Quite a few were under 6:00. It shows the speed in the club has gotten much deeper and that we have a lot of runners who span across a variety of age and gender categories  and are committed to their fitness.

Because of the unprecedented interest in the event, we had more than enough runners for two full teams. To ensure everyone who wanted to run 1600 m was able to do so, a special team was created and 8 more GLRR runners ran on this team. Some even set p.r.’s here as well.

Many runners also met personal goals and the club seems to be getting faster as a whole with each of the last few years passing. Winning this event one day will no doubt be a “challenge” but it’s one that is within reach as we can continue to improve.

The results for the teams GLRR are below. The first leg is the 590 meter speed leg. The other legs are mile splits. Full results can be found at: http://www.srr.org/events/club-challenge-marathon-relay/test/26x1/view.cgi.
