PRESI DENT ' S COL UMN
If you've ventured out of our local running world lateJy you would have noticed some interesting, some exciting
and some disturbing events unfolding. And for the most part, except for the disturbing, none of it got covered by
t h e me d i a .
There are tons of fast marathons being run. Of the top 20 times ever run by men, the slowest being 2:07:15, all
but ve have been run since October 1997. Belayneh Densimo's record of 2:06:50 stood from 1988 to 1998,
and all of a sudden there have been eight performances better and another new record. And only three of them
Kenyan. Have you read about this in the newspaper lately?
Speaking of the Kenyans, they were so embarrassed by their performance in the 1996 Olympics that their federation doesn't want them
to participate in the lucrative track meets in the summer so that they will be fresh for September in Sydney. What will speak louder,
money or patriotism?
One of the greatest races in Trials history was held last week when the men's 50K walk was contested in driving rain and 30 mile per
hour winds. Curt Clausen established a new trials record and Andrew Hermann set a personal best. The American team will be its best
ever, but did the 70 million tness walkers in this country hear anything about it? I doubt it. Great races were held at the USA Winter
Cross-Country Championships in February and Adam Goucher And Deena Drossin turned in incredible performances, again in chal
lenging circumstances. Have you heard their names before? You should have.
Have we heard much about the Women's Olympic Marathon Trials that will have taken place by the time you get this? You didn't hear
much of anything until there was a ag controversy. Suddenly, people unfamiliar with the incredible sacrice made by many athletes to
train for this event were crying for it to be moved from the capital of the confederate ag. South Carolina. And, of course, the media did
cover this story. Fortunately, the USATF, the Carolina Marathon Association and others important to running put the runners rst, but
supported any protests of the ag that doesn't adversely affect the running of the race. And still, the race won't be covered.
We need to be more aware of our sport and our sport needs to do something to make the general public more aware of it. Running is
moving in the right direction; let's keep it going.

This is a fotlowup to Vinnie Juliana's unique corre
spondence wit a Chinese runner at the 1999 NYC
Marathon-see the previous issue for the start of this
st or y.
Dear f^r. Juliano,
It is my great pleasure to have received your letter
dated January 14, 2000 and its Chinese translation,
laconic Running Life (the issue of January 2000)
together with your witness certicate (No. 19) on
January 24, 2000. Thank you very much for your
kindness and cooperation!
To have a new friend related with New York City
Marathon is wonderful for me. I will visit the website
www.runner.org to know more
about Taconi c Road Runners
Club. Running is not popular in
China, though we have a popula
tion of 1.3 billion. Personally, I
like running very much. I will
keep running in the years
coming.

Walt Disney World hosted its annual marathon
in Orlando, Florida on January 9, 2000, as they have
for six years. A 6;00am start was only slightly helpful
to the over 10,000 marathon runners who had to en
dure 60+ degree temperatures and 100 percent humid
ity at the start of the race. The race route includes
trips through the Magic Kingdom, the Boardwalk, and
a spectacular nish at Epcot Center. Greg Diamond nished 18th overall
and third for his age group with a time of 2:46! Congratulations to Greg and
each of the Taconic Runners for a great race.

Thanks For a Great Race!
by Katy D.Quinn
Barbara Brittan and Gerry Radlauer made me proud
to be a Taconic! The Freezer 5K on February 6th
was outstanding. A run around the course revealed
direction arrows painted on the snow - extremely
visible for race day, but without residual marks for
who knows how long. Mile markers were friendly
snowmen, (made by the Brittan clan. I understand).
And not only were there mile markers, there were
ki l omet er mar ker s l oo!
I had debated whether or not to run this race, but
I'm really glad 1 did. I'm sure some people wonder
what makes "'back of the packers" show up and pin
on a race number. For me, it was to get a "base
line" and seejust how fast/slow I am running these
days. It was also to support Taconic. The club has
given loLs of gocxi times and good friends to my ftunily
and me. I like to show support for the club by participating - either as a
runner or as a volunteer - at club races. A $6.00 entry fee was also inviting.
And it was fun to set my sights on three runners in the last mile and see if I
could "reel them in" (as Rudi would say) - and I did!
When the race was done, cheers and smiles at the nish line, and a cup of
water from race director, Jerry, greeted me! Friends were there to pat me on
the back and say "great job,
and then it was on to the
r e f r e s h me n t s . Wo w !
Once again, the Brittan
family made it special with
thei r homemade cooki es
and mi ni -mul ns as wel l as
Val ent i ne M&M' s. f r ui t
and the always appropriate
race food; bagels.
I know that the race was a
s u c c e s s b e c a u s e t h e r e
were many great Taconic
vol unt eer s. But I want t o
give a special thanks to
Barbara and Jerry for all
the special touches!

I NF ORMAT I ON YOU CAN' T DO WI T HOUT
Here are some ti dbi ts of news and advi ce:
BILL FOLEY, after years and lots of money, nally succeeded
in getting a stufed animal out of THE CLAW, a very difcult
game for children at PASTA PLUS just days before the Freezer
Five Miler. In a very exciting series of moves, he grabbed Marvin
t he Mart i an wi t h t he cl aw and carri ed hi m t o t he chut e. Such a
cheer emanated from the crowd around hi m that a wai tress came
out to complain. It tums out she had put lots of her own money in
that machine for the sole purpose of extracting Marvin the Mar
tian. Her monetary offers to Foley were turned down.
With the inaugural MT. EVEREST RUN just two months away,
here is some advice to improve your chances of running well,
reaching the summit and returning to base camp. Critical: you
must go to FDR park one week early and sleep at base camp,
which is at 14,517 feet, for 2 nights. On your third day, if you
feel well enough, go to 17,000 feet and return to base camp. On
your fth day, go to 22,000 feet and return. This ACCLIMATI
ZATION routine should make your ascent and succesful return
to base camp much easier. The use of SHERPAS is prohibited.
COUNTRY MUFFINS, makers of exceptional mufns, has once
again joined us as a major sponser at two of our races: the North
County News 5K and the Putnam County Classic 8 Miler of July
4th. Not only will Jimmy make a signicant contribution to both
races, each runner will be getting individually wrapped mufns,
and bagels will be plentiful. Country Mufns has become, be
hind the NORTH COUNTY NEWS, our biggest supporter.

It would have been enough that after the snows before the rst Freezer Five that Barbara Brittan's family built snowmen and Jerry
Radlauer painted and dressed them. But the day after the snow and ice preceding the second Freezer Five, Jerry (Barbara was away) was
seen at FDR Park for hours shoveling the road and making the snowmen. The Park personnel also did a great job clearing the roads. And
so the scene was set for what has become a great beginning to each TRRC season: The Freezer Fives.
Nearly 150 runners signed up for the shorter, rst race. The weather was more like that on Mt. Everest, a destination we will take you
to in May (see the yer and training notes in this newsletter,) with wind chill temperatures near zero. But 135 runners crossed the
fmish line, the best in many years. Dave Mitzi and John Cunningham crossed holding hands in rst place, leaving Jay Duggan to nish
third without a date. Tara Maguire won on the Women's side beating Emmy Stocker by half a minute. The second race was almost a
duplicate of the rst, but Cunningham stood up Mitzi and the latter had to mn and win on his own. Not easy without the charismatic
Cunningham at his side. Both winners ran faster for 5 Miles than for 5K, thanks to the improved weather conditions in the second race.

Conditioning For Our Kids
by Dr. Jim Maggs 2000
According to a recent Runner's World article, 98% of the schoolchildren
who took last year's Presidential Physical Fitness Test failed. This atrocity is
due to several things; PlayStation Syndrome, the computer, organized sports
and misguided parents and coaches.
As a parent of two growing boys who love playing with PlayStation, I'm
continually reminded of the tight time constraints we need to keep on them.
The attraction for them is so strong they'd probably go comatose while play
ing, forgetting that food and water were necessities for life.
The computer is the future for all of us, especially kids. If it could only be
mastered while exercising, kids could kill two birds with one stone. But, a
sedentary position is needed to compute, and the mind grows while the body
G R O W S .
As a coach of four basketball teams, grades 3-4 and 5-6, I'm keenly aware
of the pros and cons of organized sports for our kids. Sure, they learn the
rules of the game early on, but what they lose is so much more. Schoolground
games were far more abundant yesteryear, and kids were able to explore
their own limits and enjoyments. Today, the rigid, formalized practices and
games, not to mention the intrusion of adults, minimize running and prevents
kids from developing their own problem solving and communication skills.
They no longer have the freedom to play hour on end using their guidelines,
not society's.
Foundation For Conditioning
With the explosion of sports in today's society, sports heroes become bigger
than life, and many kids want to have the success of their idols before they
can even tie their shoes. They want to play a concerto without learning the
scales. This delusion makes it difcult for any parent or coach to teach the
fundamentals of sport and exercise. The work involved in illy educating the
body, as well as the mind, requires unlimited hours of practice and condition
ing. The art of delayed gratication has to be embraced by the coach and
bought by the child.
This issue becomes more difcult when parents step in and push their chil
dren beyond normal limits due to the societal pressures they feel in their lives.
It's often the parents who are pressuring the child to score more points and
win at all costs. Too often, families leave games with the parent not speaking
to the child out of frustration. This is a clear sign of misguided values.
For those kids who have the opportunity to do it right, to learn the basics and
practice and train with the right intent, the road ahead gets smoother. The
return on investment is grand. The victories today pale compared to the
victories of tomorrow. Many people never fully grasp the value of delayed
gratication and the fundamentals of exercise and life, the very building blocks
t hat make t he di ff erence bet ween success and f ai l ure at al l l evel s.
Healthy Conditioning
Let kids be kids. If it's not enjoyable for them, reconsider what they're
doing. Under the age of 10, activity is normal for kids. Let them fully explore
motion, whether it be running, tumbling, rolling or skipping. All of these ac
tivities contribute to the full development of the nervous and muscular sys-
tive should be on fundamental movement and coordination more than sport
specic skills. If body motion, reexes and coordination are improved through
proper exercises that are done for a long enough period of time, sport spe
cic skills will come much easier. Exercises like skipping, rope jumping,
cartwheels, running frontward, backward, sideways and hopping are excel
lent for coordination and developmental skills. The consistent passing of a
Nerf football over time will dramatically help any child's eye-hand coordina
tion, hand speed, hand strength and overall reexes without the chance for
injury. As a child improves over time, shorten the distance between each of
you and increase the speed of the pass. All skills will proportionately im
pr ove.
Remember, kids under tiie age of 15 learn at a rate dramatically quicker than
older teens and adults. Don't miss this window of opportunity to teach them
the very basics of exercising, reexes and coordination. In the past 7 years,
r ve spent endless hours in pro locker rooms working in their strength depart
ments, and many of the exercises mentioned above are still done by the pros.
Finally, under no circumstances should weighted exercises be considered for
anyone below the age of 14. Motion exercises, weight management, aerobic
and anaerobic drills and joint mobility should be paramount.
C o n c l u s i o n
The most important aspect of conditioning for kids is the individual psyche of
each child. All kids are motivated by different incentives, and the exact
mot i vat i on shoul d be f ound f or each chi l d. Di ct at or i al or f ear mot i vat i on
should never be the chosen option when working with kids. The time should
be taken to nd out what moves each and every child in a positive way, and
then those motivations should become tiie foundation for each program. Kids
have a healthy yet innocent spirit to perform and we as coaches and parents
should do everything possible to identify, enhance and strengthen that spirit.
Our ultimate goaldon't let their spirit die.

I built my next few weeks slowly I ran three weeks of 80 miles, then 3 weeks of 90. The following
week I hit 100 and started to get into a groove. I had arranged my work schedule so I could run
during the day when it was warmer and light out. My next few weeks were really tough the weather,
as you know, got really cold and daylight was scarce. It was tough just to get out there and run, but
I did it. The next few weeks I ran 110,114,120, and 123 miles. I hit 132 miles as my high week and
I was doing workouts: I was running 10 X mile with 90 seconds rest in 20 degree weather. The last
day of my last high mileage week I ran a ten miler in Central Park. It was 15 degrees out. Water had
frozen in the cups at the water stops. I ran just over 5:30 a mile and nished 4th. I was in shape. I
tapered for three weeks, ew out to Vegas on Thursday for a Sunday race and took it easy.
The race course began with 8 miles of slight uphill followed by 10 miles of slight down and then
was at the rest of the way. I knew I had to go out a little slower than my goal pace which was 5:40.
I ran the rst few miles just over 6 minute pace and started to run just under 6 pace after mile 3. At
about 5 miles into the race my quads felt strange, the muscles felt week.
I got to the 8 mile mark, the uphill was over and I was hoping that I would begin to feel better.
By 10 miles I was not sure if I would be able to run the distance. I came through the half in 1:17:??.
I felt horrible, I needed to slow down if I was going to able to get to 20. I started to think about my training, all the pain the
sacrice, I was wondering if I would ever want to run a race again, the marathon was denitely out of the picture. I was
hoping for a freak storm or perhaps to get struck by a car so I could stop, but I was not so lucky. I convinced myself to keep
running until the 20 mile mark, then to 23. If I make it to 23 I can walk. As I approached 23 I was wondering if I would break
3 hours, I needed to keep running at least one more mile. Then one more mile, then one more mile, then 385 yards. It was so
nice to nish. I crossed the line in 2:53:05, went back to the hotel, played some blackjack, had a few beers, felt sorry for
myself, and went to bed.
My legs were sore for several days, but I was alive. I started running again last week after a few days off, I wanted to.
And I want to get back into shape and I want to race another marathon, someday. One reason I think people like the marathon
so much is the risk. Months are spent sacricing for the race
and nothing is insured. A 5k or 10k people can get through
and, even if they have a bad day, run a decent time. Not in the
marathon if your not ready and you have a bad day your time
will show it and not by 10 or 15 seconds, but by minutes or
ev en hour s .
The goal up to the race is to get your body ready so if
you have a good day you can take advantage of it. All it takes
is one good day and you can talk about it for the rest of your
life. But I guess, as many of us know, you can talk about the
crappy days for a while too. Happy running.

1999 Review of Women's Open Team
by Mario Calidonna
Wo me n ' s Ma s t e r s Te a m
by Debra Kenney
I'd like to review the 1999 season by recognizing all the
women who contributed this year to both New York Club Council races
and the MAC grand prix series. I'd like to thank Deb Kenney and Bar
bara Brittan for all of their experience and support my rst year as
captain. Their excellent and solid performances provided consistency
f or our t eam.
Thanks to new, seasoned, and former members including
Carolyn Durst, who unfortunately moved out of our area. Newcomers
and returnees i ncl uded l l ene Davi s, Jean Chri stensen, AnneOl i veri ,
Gwen Benza, Alyssa LIfrieri, and Tara Maguire. I was thrilled to have
them join us whenever possible. I'd also like to thank two very strong
and very prolic runners: Sherri Shultz and Freda Clarke. Both were
instrumental in the MAC races and for the club by helping us move up
in the ranks. Last but not least, thanks to all the Masters and Veteran
women who raced this year and scored for us. Though we ended up
in 7th place overall in Club Council, I am condent that in time our rank
will improve.
In the MAC series, we placed fourth. Moving Comfort edged
us out of a possible second place nish. We still won a couple of
hundred for the club! This year I'll try to be more timely with the MAC
schedule from the start and inform runners of these races too.
The Marathon was windy and tough in '99. My congratula
tions to all the women who ran it and put forth such a great effort.
Congratulations to Emmy Stocker, our lead scorer, Lucia Chapman,
and so many others who ran a great marathon. It was an incredibly
competitive eld and we were beset with injuries and entrants who
were not chosen in the lottery. Hopefully, this year's new marathon
application system will work to our benet.
Congratulations to Sherri Shultz for a 2nd place nish in
the MAC women's series ages 20-29 Freda Clarke for her 3rd place
n i s h !
Though I will be not be racing for most of 2000,1 hope to
attend at least some of our races. 1 also look fonward to seeing
some of you at the Mother's Day 5K this year. Good luck!
Happy New Year everybody! Yes, 1 know I am a little late. I
missed the January 2000 newsletter deadline because I was working
long hours addressing Y2K computer issues. I'm happy to say every
thing worked and 1 am happy to be back running again. 1 am espe
cially looking forward to the WMT's new year (hey, the world's gone
crazy with acronyms 1 might as well make up a few of my own). I
would be re-miss, however, if I didn't say thank you to all the women
who came out and ran wi t h t he TRRC Women' s Mast ers Team i n
1999. It's not just about the competition, it is also the great friendship
and fun we share. If you're out there reading this and thinking that
maybe you'd like to come and run with us, but you don't know any
body, make this the year that you take a small risk and call me (914)
245-9629. You won't regret it. You will travel to races that you wouldn't
ever dare or want to drive to by yourself (we car pool) and you will
meet new friends who will offer you tips on running as well as their
friendship. I look forward to meeting you!
The Master's Team is excited about competing in the Metro
politan Athletic Congress' Grand Prix in 2000. The MAC season opens
with the Feb. 19"^ Cherry Tree 15K in Prospect Park. Next isue I'll
report the results. On March 11 we will be traveling once again to
Brooklyn for the running of the Brooklyn Half-Marathon. We are go
ing to Arthur Avenue afterwards for lunch! And, yes, any of the guys
who are running the Brooklyn Half are also invited to come along and
eat some good pasta! I On March 19'^ we won't have to travel very far
for the next MAC Grand Pri x race because i t' s our own TRRC St.
Patrick's Day 10K. When 1 have further details about the rest of the
MAC Grand Prix I will keep you informed. If you are surng the Internet,

Carbo-phobia: Diet Revolution or Harmful Fad?
Scott K Fisher^ M.S., R.D.
Every so often, someone or some group of individuals promotes the notion
that they have discovered the dietary secrets to better health, more effective
weight control, and better physical performance. These self-proclaimed revo
lutionaries often go against the grain of established, scientic research leav
ing most of us to ponder the question of what is right and what is wrong. The
latest such revelation to take the world by storm is the promotion of diets that
are higher in protein, lower in carbohydrate, and typically higher in fat.
The proponents of such eating strategies claim that our liberal consumption
of carbohydrate is the root of many dietary evils and holds us back from
obtaining the physiques and physical performances we dream of. By now,
most of us have some familiarity with Dr. Atkins and his famous carbohy
drate deprivation diet and with the 40/30/30 approach to eating. The latter
advocates the consumption of only 40% of calories from carbohydrate and
30% coming from fat and protein respectively. How are we to know whether
these approaches are simply the products of modem day snake-oil salesmen
or reputable professionals, or if the approaches are effective or even safe for
Let's take a closer look at some of the claims made by the advocates of the
lower carbohydrate, higherprotein diets.
Claim: Diets high in carbohydrate (> 55% of calories) cause the exces
sive secretion of insulin which promotes the storage of fat. This is especially
true with the consumption of simple sugars and rened, processed carbohy
dr at es .
Truth: This "theory" is a gross oversimplication of very complex physi
ological processes and the result of taking a snippet of truth out of context
and then blowing it out of proportion. The fact is that insulin is secreted
whenever carbohydrate enters the bloodstream. Without insulin, your body
would not be able to use carbohydrate (glucose or blood sugar) as energy.
Insulin can also signal the body to store fat. However, there is absolutely no
research to demonstrate that eating a high carbohydrate diet will make you
fat, especially if you are physically active.
Nutritionists and health professionals recommend limiting the consumption of
simple sugars and rened carbohydrates because they tend to be of low
nutritional value, lacking vitamins, minerals, ber, not because of their effect
on insulin. It is still recommended that at least 55% of your calories, more if
you are athletic, come from carbohydrate, primarily in the form of bread,
cereals, rice, pasta, fruits, and vegetables.
Claim: Athletes, like runners, should consume upwards of 30% of their calo
ries as protein.
Truth: Protein is an essential nutrient and it is now accepted that athletes do
need more protein than sedentary individuals. However, a 30% intake is
twice the recommended for active people as established by years of sound
scientic research. The chronic consumption of excess protein can place
undue stress on the liver and kidneys and may displace other vital nutrients
in the diet, namely carbohydrate. An appropriate intake of protein for an
active individual would be 12-15% of total calories or .5 -.7 grams/pound of
body weight. Interestingly, this is a quantity most of us get without trying,
even if you consume a vegetarian type of diet.
Claim: Diets based on a 40/30/30 approach help us to bum calories more
efciently which results in better weight control and better physical perfor
m a n c e .
Truth: The truth is that most 40/30/30 diets as they are outlined are also
very low in total calories. That's why many lose weight temporarily while
following this approach.
Despite catchy advertisements and the testimonials of both elite and recre
ational athletes, a low carbohydrate, high protein diet has not been shown to
improve physical performance. In fact, it could very well hinder your per
formance. Carbohydrate is an essential energy source for both endurance
and power athletes. Running low on carbohydrate stores can mean the
difference between crossing the nish line or "hitting the wall". There is no
exception to this rule.
While many of the claims made by low carijohydrate, higher protein advo
cates are based on testimonial and anecdotal information, it is also interest
ing to examine some of the same type of information in favor of the tradi
tional high carbohydrate, low fat. adequate protein approach. Just look at
the Kenyan Africans. For years they have dominated long distance mn-
ning. Who among us can question the validity of their performances? The
Kenyan diet is the antithesis of a low carbohydrate approach. Kenyans
typically consume upwards of 70% of calories from carbohydrate, 15%
from fat and 15% from protein. Not only do their athletes perform extraor
dinarily, but the rest of the population suffers much less frequently from the
westem ills of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
While much is yet to be discovered about the links between diet and physi
cal performance, what is known still supports a diet high in carbohydrate,
low in fat, and adequate in protein. Consumers of nutritional information -
sedentary individuals and competitive athletes alike - should maintain a
critical eye, examine the source, and even consider consulting with a quali
ed nutrition professional.
