Keeping the motivation

e all have our own techniquesand self rewards for keeping intop running shape.

Keeping a log or a blog

I think at one time or another I have usedall of the following techniques to keepmyself running on the road. One of thefirst techniques is to start with a goal inmind. Perhaps it’s a specific time in a 5Kor even a marathon. For me i thas usually just been theidea of keeping healthy.Some people really get intothe documentation aspect byusing a training log to keeptrack of the miles, times,weather conditions, and evenhow you are feeling beforeand after the run. This can be agreat motivator when you look back to allyou have accomplished. The log can alsohelp you prepare for the next event andhelp you compare times in younger years.

Some runners find it helpful to usesomeone else’s log. It seems easy at thestart that if you want to run a specific timein a marathon then you should just followthe training log of an athletes who has metthe goal you desire. Unfortunately Ialways forget to ask for the same DNA ofthat world class athlete first. In any caselooking at their training log can give youa good idea of how to ramp up, schedulerest periods or when to taper. Anothertechnique to record your activities is tojust keep a narrative blog where you canrecord every detail of the training.

One of my favorite techniques is to hangaround with people who have done theevent you are training for and train withthem. Not only do you pick up pointerson a daily basis, but they can motivateyou on your more lethargic days.

The Runners inner voice

I am not sure how others keep going onsome of those more arduous runs. I havenever been one to listen to music, I guessI was always worried about not hearingan approaching or getting distracted andtripping when I threw in a dance move to

a Samba beat. I have been more of thethinker dreamer type, looking for a

chance to clear my head. Inmarathons I would oftenplay mind games bytelling myself that I havejust 15 miles to go and

that’s only 3 fun runs. After all, I canalways finish the fun run at Grupe park,no matter how I felt when I started. Mysecond strategy is one I learned years ago,and that is to take the emotion out of thetask by telling yourself that you are arobot. The robot must continue until thetask is completed. The robot does not feelpain. (The robot must finish writing theSundance newsletter so that Larry can putit together and send it out)

Rewards

The classic motivator is the reward. Youcan promise yourself a treat if you meet acertain target (please see THE PREZ page 2)

time. You can remind yourself how good you will feelknowing that you are that much closer to reaching yourgoal. You can remind yourself how great it will feel tolets others know how special you are and that you arenow better than them.

One of my best motivators as I mentioned before is theintellectual realization that by exercising and withhigher intensity the following health benefits aregained: Lower incidence of heart attack and stroke,lower incidence of many cancers, controlled bloodpressure through stress relief, decreased incidence ofdiabetes, and most importantly a better quality of life.

A few more reminders

-Don’t forget to keep your goal prominent. Go aheadand post it on the mirror when you get up in themorning. (even if you don’t meet your goal, you willnot seem like such a loser to your spouse)

-Celebrate your success once you have achieved yourgoal. Better yet, celebrate with your friends.

- Don’t forget to have fun out there.Stephen Lofy

5 The Sprint April 2012

When a Workout is Going BadlyShould you cut it short or gut it out?

By Mario Fraioli

As featured in the Web Only issue of Running TimesMagazine Third mile, 6:11. Two more gut-wrenchingrepeats remain and you’re already 11 seconds off goalpace for the workout. Not to mention it’s getting dark,you’re tired and you can think of at least half a dozenless strenuous things you could be doing right now.The moment of truth has arrived: solider on andfinish all five of your assigned intervals or throw upthe white flag and surrender the workout?

It’s a question with no easy answer, regardless of yourcompetitive goals.

“Effort matters more than times,” says Bob Hodge,third-place finisher at the 1979 Boston Marathon.“One needs to get to the point where they can judgethe proper effort for a session. Times will follow.”

Randy Ashley, staff coach at ZAP Fitness in BlowingRock, NC, couldn’t agree more. When working withathletes, Ashley emphasizes the importance of hittinga certain effort level over trying to target specifictimes for a given workout.

“I don’t give the athletes I coach a time to hit, butrather an effort level to hit,” says Ashley. “Forexample, if I’m training someone for the mile andwe’re doing eight to ten 400 [meter] repeats, I wantthem running at 92 percent effort, not necessarily 75-second pace. As a coach, you don’t want to force it ifsomeone’s not on.”

OK, back to the workout. You’re very obviously not“on” tonight, but you’re already more than halfwaythrough the scheduled session. You tell yourself ifyou quit now you’ll only quit when it counts. Whenthe going gets tough the tough get going, right?

Not necessarily, says Hodge. “If a session is goingbadly, most times it will pay to cut it short and saveit for another day. No sweat, no worries.”

For many runners that advice can be a tough pill toswallow, but just because the medicine isn’t tasting

good doesn’t mean it’s not the right prescription.More often than not, scrapping a session completelyor even just delaying it a day can be just what thedoctor ordered, especially if you’re tired, stressed orotherwise out of sorts.

“One workout isn’t going to make a difference,”counsels Hodge. “It’s just a workout. No oneworkout is as important as your overall consistency.”

Ashley encourages his athletes to always look at thebig picture. If a session starts going south, there’s noshame in stopping early.

“You want the mission to be accomplished with theoverall goal always in mind,” says Ashley. “I’drather not see an athlete banging his or her headagainst the wall to hit splits during a workout, butI’d rather see them start it over again a day or twolater feeling fresh.”

But if you must keep on keeping on, or theconditions just won’t allow you to run as fast asyou’d like on a given day, there’s nothing wrongwith adjusting the length of your intervals toaccomplish the main mission of the workout. Ifthose last two miles seem like they’re going to makea long night even longer, perhaps four 800s at thesame pace will allow the time pass by a little morequickly.

“There’s nothing wrong with adjusting a workout onthe fly to get in the same volume at the same effortlevel,” says Ashley. “If you’re doing 6 x 1K and it’swindy on the track, 10 x 600 is still a really good workout.”

And remember, in the end it’s just a workout.Whether you soldier through it, scrap it, delay it oradjust it, when a session starts going south, there’sno right or wrong answer, but plenty of intelligentoptions.

CHALLENGErace for heart failure research

SECOND ANNUAL 5 & 10K

APRIL 21, 2012, 9:00AM 12:00PMScientific Specialties • 1310 Thurman Street • Lodi, CA

WANT TO REGISTER ONLINE? Go to www.onyourmarkevents.com, click “events”, �nd the Challenge Failure event on the calender and click the “Register Online” link to the right of the event.

1030 S. Hutchins St., Suite #4-117, Lodi, CA 95240 • 209-484-5883 • [email protected]

The Challenge Failure event was conceived by Robin Boriack whose late husband Marc su�ered from heart failure for many years, and passed away in 2010. Rather than give in to the reality of heart failure and disease, Robin was struck with a new vision: honor Marc’s life by helping others �nd hope and new life through heart failure research! Robin has since gained support for Challenge Failure from family and friends as well as Dr. John Teerlink, Professor of Medicine at UCSF and Director of the Heart Failure Clinic at SFVAMC.

The Challenge Failure event o�ers 3 great ways to participate & support heart failure research:

1 Supporters can make direct donations to support heart failure research.

2 Participants can register for the walk/run of their choice (5k or 10k).

3 Participants can register for the walk/run of their choice (5k or 10k) AND collect additional pledged amounts to be donated up to and including race day.

100% of all event fees, donations and sponsorships will go to the Northern California Institute of Research (NCIRE, 94-3084159) and Education. All costs associated with the event will be absorbed by the Boriack family.

Last year, at our inagural event we raised close to $20,000 and had over 300 participants. We hope you will join us and support this critical work to save lives.
