Racing season is upon us.After months of winter sportsand x-training, it’s time toshed those layers and get outon the road and trails to seewhat kind of condition you’rein.Racing season meansdifferent things to differentpeople. In fact, racing canmean different things to thesame person, depending ontheir stage in life. In my 30’s,I focused on ½ and fullmarathons. My trainingfocused primarily onmaintaining a big base ofmiles - 5k and 10k races wereconsidered speed workouts.In my early 40’s, focus shiftedto two ‘goal’ races a year –indoor and outdoor mastersnational championship ½ mileand mile. Training includedfewer miles, more speed, andplyometric/strength work.Last year, I focused on a bigsummer mile track race inCalifornia. Eight weeks priorto the race, I developed aknee issue. I was forced tobalance how much could Iafford to rest, when at thesame time, I was supposed tobe peaking with speed. Ididn’t get it right and was

unable to race. For those ofus who love to run and race,nothing is worse than beingsidelined with an injury,watching the New England,summer race season pass by.So, with race season upon us,what are your 2012 racinggoals? Which kind of racer doyou want to be this year?Racer A: I want to peak for aparticular race this summer.I want to peak in a June ½marathon or a fall, fullmarathon.Racer B: I want to race wellin a series of racesthroughout summer withcontinuous improvement.Racer C: I’m glad if I can run3-5 times a week and severaltimes this season, race. Mostimportant, I want to maintaina level of fitness and enjoytraining and racing withfriends.FOOD FOR THOUGHTRacer A: If you want to bereally competitive and peakfor a particular race, youneed to have a training plan.

What ISee WhenI RunLori

Bliss HillMore difficult footing than

it looks. Good for thatagility training. : )

A good plan will direct you tobalance base miles, speedwork, strength and recoverythroughout 3-4 distinct phasesleading up to your goal race.Plan to peak.

Racer B: Like Racer A, you’llwant to have a weekly regimethat balances miles, speed,strength and recovery. Sinceyou’ll be racing weekly, you’llwant to be vigilant of injury. Atour age, most injuries resultfrom ‘over use’. In simpleterms, we do too much, toosoon, too fast. For example, ifyou haven’t put in a lot of milesthis winter, then don’t bump uptoo soon when racing seasonbegins. If your 1st 5k of theseason is 21:00, 3 weeks later,a 5k goal of 19:00 is risky. Toavoid injury, add miles, and

increase race pace gradually.Evolve throughout the season.Racer C: If you want tomaintain fitness and your goalsare more social thancompetitive, you may or maynot have a detailed season planand you may not even plan outa weekly regime. But you, too,need to maintain a balance ofmiles and effort to preventinjury and improve. Importantto you are good running shoes,appropriate stretching and theabove mentioned injuryvigilance.Regardless of how competitiveor social a runner you are,running should be fun. One ofmy first running clubs taughtme how to have fun. In my late20’s, my husband and I lived ina quintessential German villageoutside Frankfurt. The runningclub of 30-60 members wouldmeet 3x a week to train for 1hour, Sundays were 2 ½ hourruns for marathoners. Racedays were festive. Before andduring the race…focus! Butafterwards…picnic tables,grills, and beer kegs were setup. With beer and bratwurst inhand, runners cheered,toasted, laughed. We shared

stories of the day’s race andconfirmed plans for thefollowing week’s training andrace. Every race wasOktoberfest.So, as you get into your racingseason, align your workoutswith your goals. Be everprudent to avoid injury. Andhave fun!Good luck!Kim SheffieldSpecial note: Whether you’reRacer A, B, or C, if you want toget faster track workouts reallyhelp. TNT (Tuesday NightTrack) will help you get faster.Last year TNT varied b/n 10-30runners of all levels. Greatway to gain get into shape,gain some speed and be withfriends.

Racing seasonmeans differentthings to differentpeople. In fact,racing can meandifferent things tothe same person,depending on theirstage in life.

Hey UVRC Members,Have you renewed for2012 yet?http://uppervalleyrunningclub.org

Runner Profile:Ginny ReedName: Ginny ReedTown: Fairlee, Vt (formerly Hanover, NH)Why do you run? I love the 'alone in my head'and 'time for me' time I get with running. Beingoutdoors, watching the sun come up, listening tothe quiet - there's nothing like it.Recent memorable moment whilerunning: Running around the lake justbefore dawn, listening to the ice shift andgroan, seeing the sun peek over themountain. Bliss!If you like to race, favorite racedistance: Half-marathon: far enough thatnot being 'fast' isn't a problem; not so farthat it's not easily doable a couple of timesa year.If you like to race, notable racemoment: Running the Cape Cod Marathonwith my daughters - a first marathon for allof us. In spite of crazy weather (weekend ofthe Halloween blizzard) and difficultieswith getting everyone to the race in goodhealth, it was a wonderful and special time- beautiful scenery, time together, andenjoying the culmination of a shared quest.Cross-training activities (if any)?Rowing. I have an erg that I use on daysthat I don't run.Any usual "partners in crime" (akatraining partners)? I'm pretty much asolitary runner. That said, I enjoy finding othersfrom the group who run at my pace (11-12 min.miles) and running with them on Saturdaymornings. I'm a relatively new runner (6 years)and would invite and encourage others to thinkabout taking it up. It's never too late!Favorite local running route: the road aroundLake Morey - not too much traffic and quitescenic.

Favorite post-run treat: Chocolate milkStrangest place ever run: Gainesville, FL. Igot lost on a training run. Ended up asking fordirections at a convenience store where therewas a shoplifting in progress - perpetratorscaught and police called. Made for a memorablestory of 'what I saw on my run' when I finallygot back.

What else should the club know about you?My tag line in the fund-raising I do for races is"old, slow, and persistent". Once I got overworrying about not being fast and what othersmight think, I found I was free to enjoyeverything about running - the fact that I amable to run, that I live in a place where it's safeto run, that I have the love and support of myfamily to take the time to run. I'm grateful forall this and try not to take it for granted.

Spartan Super Race ReportTerry LongoThe Spartan Super in Chandler(AZ) couldn't have happened ona nicer day, especially for thoseof us who traveled in from acolder climate: 75 degrees,partly cloudy, and lots of coldrefreshing water on the course,which was set on the 160-acreproperty belong to RawhideWild West Town. The coursewas 8.5 miles and sported 30obstacles - some easy, such asjumping over a mound offlaming logs, and some moredifficult, such as carrying two50lb sand bags approximately1/3 mile containing variousobstacles. Ironically, whencompared to the Spartan Beastthat I also ran on August 6,2011 in Killington, this coursein the desert had much morewater, including a total ofabout 3/4 miles of wadingthrough thigh-high streams - agreat workout for the quads!Other obstacles includedscaling over 6-foot-high walls,dragging a concrete blockthrough heavy sand, tractortire flip, rope climbing, andmonkey bars. Miss anyobstacle, and your penalty is a

set of thirty down-and-ups (akaburpees) - which is a greatmotivator to succeed on theobstacle. One of my favoriteobstacles is a very muddycrawl (or roll!) under a longstretch of barbed wire. I wasso muddy afterward that whenI was doing [my only set of]burpees at the next obstacle, Irealized removing my shirt andthe weight of the mud on itmade the burpees much easier.(The shirt was so heavy that Iended up leaving it on thecourse.)The atmosphere at the race isvery upbeat! People of allages, weights, and sizesparticipate, and as they shouldbe, they are all very proud andpumped for completing thecourse, regardless of how longthey take. I feel this type ofrace is within reach of anyonein a reasonable state of fitness,and that a little bit of doubtshould not stop anyone fromtrying it once!Generally, speaking, I still lovetrail / dirt road running.

However, I cannot imagine afuture without at least one ortwo obstacles on my schedule!For 2012 I will be doing theTough Mudder in Vermont inMay; a Spartan Sprint in MA inAugust, and of course theSpartan Beast at Killington inSeptember.spartanrace.com andtoughmudder.com

Half at the Hamptons Race ReportJoe JonesMy first half marathon lastweekend was largelyuneventful. Preparation, niceweather, and the flat coursealong Hampton Beach, NH allcreated the perfect race.The registration went smoothand the sun was shining. Thetemperature on Feb 19 was36°F. The hardest decision thatmorning was deciding just whatto wear. The start includedpace runners, something I havenot seen before. I put myselfnear the 9min pace man,knowing that I was shooting for2 hours.When the race started I foughtthe urge to speed up. I use aGPS watch so I tried to keepmy pace at 9 minutes. I figuredI should do that for the firsthalf of the race and see how Ifelt. At around 7 miles my pacehad averaged 8:58 min/mi and Iwas still feeling good. I hit apack of people and foundmyself unable to go around, soI would speed up and slip intoopen spots and slowly workedmy way through the field.Once in front of the pack Istarted to get some slightcramps in one leg which causedme some concern. I believedthat this shouldn’t behappening and I feared it wasthe beginning of the end. Islowed my pace and was ableto shake those cramps. Overthe next few miles my averagepace continued to improveagain and I was shaving aboutone second off over each mile.It sounds silly now, but I waslooking forward to mile 12thinking if I could make it thatfar without incident then Iwould be home free. Mile 12came and went and I tried topour it on. A spectator would

not have noticed me pouring iton, but I knew. When I finishedI had pulled my overall pacedown to 8:51/mi finishing in1:55. I was very happy to slipunder the two hour mark. Mytraining runs had all been overtwo hours.A note about running halfmarathons is that everythinghappens so slowly. When I sawsomeone in front of me who Ithought I could catch, it wouldtypically take 20 or 30 minutes

to get there. There is a lot ofthinking time in a 2 hour racetoo, and plenty of opportunityto chat with others as the paceis comfortable and breathingreally isn’t a problem. Thespectators, cow bells, and signswere fantastic. I especiallyliked the fellow holding the“Encouraging Sign” - that'swhat it said. I already havefive more half marathons onmy calendar and the next oneis in seven days in Hyannis,Ma.


New Hampshire Grand PrixGeoff DunbarWell UVRC, road racing seasonis just around the corner… andwith sunshine and warmth,comes the New HampshireGrand Prix! The NHGP is aroad racing series, all acrossthe state of New Hampshire,hosted by the state's runningclubs. Each event in the seriesis just a normal communityroad race, where anyone iswelcome to register and run.However, participants who arealso a member of one of theNew Hampshire running clubs,and indicate such on theirentry form, automatically takepart in the NHGP competition.The most important aspect ofthe NHGP is the teamcompetition, where the runningclubs challenge each other. Ineach race, every gender/agegroup NHGP participant isranked, and scores pointsbased on his/her place in thatage group. The points aretotaled, and awarded to theparticipant's team. For theseries, the scores for all racesare added up, and the top threeteams get awards for their

excellent running. A few of theage groups are quitecompetitive by New Hampshirerunning standards, but for themajority of the age groups,most or all participants scorepoints; generally the teams thatget the most runners to run ina race are the highest scoringteams.The second major facet of theNHGP is the coveted GraniteRunner award; if you run all ofthe races in the series, you area Granite Runner! From theUVRC, myself and CourtneyMarshall achieved this statuslast year. There are also awardsfor the top three runners in

each gender, basedon age-gradedresults, and the topscoring runner ineach age group isalso recognized, butthe individualaspect of the NHGPis secondary.Clubs participatingin the NHGPinclude the vauntedGate City Stridersout of Nashua. Withover 600 members,and paid entries tosome races for theirracing teams, theyhave won 6 of the

last 7 NHGP competitions.However, the Greater DerryTrack Club (in Southern NewHampshire), much closer insize to the UVRC with just over100 members, were able to winthe title in 2010. The GraniteState Racing Team (out ofConcord), Athletic AllianceRunning Club (Manchester)and Rochester Runners(Seacoast) are other clubs withstrong participation.This year, the first race in theNHGP is our very ownShamrock Shuffle, March 17thin Lebanon. I hope to see allUVRC members there andracing for our team. Along withthe normal benefits of runninga road race, the team aspectreally adds some pep andmotivation to a race. Last yearI heard a lot of "Go Gate City!"while running the NHGP races;this year, at least in Lebanon, Iexpect to hear a lot of "GoUpper Valley!". Having a reallystrong showing at this race inparticular will both help ourteam score points in the series,and add to our club's prestigewith the other New Hampshirerunning clubs. As a bonus, ourteam will congregate after therace to celebrate our triumphsand drown our sorrows, at TheCave, near Lebanon Green.

New Hampshire Grand Prix (cont.)


NHGP Granite RunnerCourtney MarshallI like to run road races.Imagine my delight when inearly 2011, I discovered thatfor $5.00 I could meet otherlocal runners by becoming amember of the newly formedUpper Valley Running Club. Ihad already enrolled in the“Will Run For Beer” and“CARS” racing series as anindividual racer and waswondering how I could join andbe counted in the NewHampshire Grand Prix raceseries, which requires a NewHampshire running clubaffiliation. Thanks to UVRC Icould, by running and finishingall seven NHGP races, nowbecome a “Granite Runner”and in return hopefully scoresome points for the team.The 2011 NHGP series got offto a cold and blustery startwith the Shamrock Shuffle 2miler in Manchester in March.Although the race was listed inthe series, points were notallocated to runners and clubsbecause of a glitch in the

registration process that madeit difficult for runners to beaffiliated with their respectiveclubs.Next up in April was Reds 5Miler in Dover. Although a longtrek from the Upper Valley,Geoff Dunbar began toenthusiastically encourage allUVRC Club members,regardless of racing ability, toparticipate in this race and theoverall NHGP series. This racewas especially exciting for melast year because I scored myfirst points for the team andgot to meet the Dunbars andSteve Andrews after the race. Ibegan to realize at the awardsceremony that the UVRC wasfielding some really top racers.All we were lacking to becompetitive with the larger,established Clubs was thedepth of numbers to fill out theage group categories.My first trip to Nashua came onMothers Day for the MedicalCenter 6K. This race was also aUSATF-NE Grand Prix race

which meant that some of thebest runners from all over NewEngland were participating.Even so I managed a few morepoints for the UVRC team inmy lonely 60-69 male agegroup and started to lookforward to watching theindividual and club scoring onthe NHGP website after eachrace.The Luti 5 Miler in Concord inJuly is one of the great NewHampshire traditional summerraces. Coach Bill Luti, arevered track coach at ConcordHigh for many years and nowin his 90s, still starts the racewith his pistol and boards the

This race wasespecially exciting forme last year because Iscored my first pointsfor the team...

NHGP Granite Runner (cont.)pace car to position himself atthe one mile mark to call outtimes on his stopwatch for therunners as they race past.UVRC had a good turnout forthis race and we all got to wearour brand new green racingsinglets. We also began to berecognized as a new club thatbore watching and respect.

At this race I became aware ofan avid runner and racephotographer, Don Yeaton ofthe Rochester Runners Club,who had just turned 60 andwas breathing down my neck atthe Luti finish line. Wesubsequently became fastracing friends and see-sawedfor position and points over theremainder of the series.At the Sandown 5 Miler,Auburn 10 Miler, and theFootrace For the Fallen 5K inManchester I added to mypoint total, scoring in everyrace, and became a first time“Granite Runner” along withGeoff Dunbar. Overall theUVRC racing team finishedfifth out of ten racing clubs inthe NHGP series.More importantly the newfriendships formed throughUVRC racing in the NHGP in2011 have been gratifying andlasting and team racing addedan extra positive dimension tomy road racing experiences.

I’m very much looking forwardto the 2012 NHGP race seriesstarting this month, knowingthat I will race with old friends,meet new friends and havenew member, Jim Burnett, upahead of me to rack up thepoints for UVRC in our 60-69male age group. It will be greatfun at the races this year to seemore green shirts intent onkeeping the top four NewHampshire running clubs in astate of challenge andhopefully knocking off one ortwo of them in the process.I like to run road races.

UVRC had a goodturnout for this raceand we all got to wearour brand new greenracing singlets. We alsobegan to be recognizedas a new club that borewatching and respect.
