Indy Runners Inaugural
Marathon Training Program
Indy Runners is excited to announce our first ever fall
Marathon and Half-Marathon Group Training Program! This
pilot program is FREE to all current Indy Runners members.
Please note that this pilot program will be very informal
compared to our main spring Mini Training program, but will
assist you in your training for the October marathons and halfmarathons. The inaugural program began late June and continues
to the end of October so if you haven’t started, it may not be too
late! Hopefully, you’ve kept your running legs in shape… This
pilot program will be for all those Indy Runners participating in
the Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, and Indianapolis marathons,
or the Indianapolis and Columbus half-marathons. This pilot
program is for current Indy Runners only, and all participants
will be asked to sign in prior to the start of the event. For more
information, contact Todd Oliver at vpresident@indyrunner.org.
Most meetings will be at the Hinkle Fieldhouse, but we
may move around a little bit to mix things up so be sure to check
where we’re meeting by emailing Todd.
The Saturday runs will be by mileage only with no pacers, although experienced marathoners will be
participating, too. The schedule will follow Hal Higdon’s novice marathon training program. Details for the
first week are as follows:
Finally, because this is our first ever program over the summer for fall events, this is your
opportunity as a "beta tester" to help guide and improve the program throughout the summer. We look
forward to your involvement, and hope that this program improves along with your fitness as the summer
progresses. (see schedule on Page 9)

The Fall Beckons…
By Mike Niederpruem
president@indyrunners.org
Hi, everyone! I hope your summer
•
•
•
•
•
has been great, and that you were successful in getting your runs in without getting too hot. With fall
fast approaching, there is a lot of good news to share.
FIRST, our inaugural program this summer
for fall marathon and half marathon preparation has
been an unequivocal success, primarily to the great
work of our vice-president, Todd Oliver, as well as
other faithful Indy Runners board members and volunteers: Brian Cake, Will Huiras, Curt Canter, Norm
Simard, Carter Wolf, and Alexe Yeung. Each week,
we have a few new attendees, and the numbers just
keep growing from one week to the next. As a reminder, this informal program is FREE to all current
members of Indy Runners, and you are encouraged
to attend, even if you haven’t participated previously.
Indy Runners provides the water stops, and post-run
food. So, please join us, as we have distances each
week that cater to both full- and half-marathoners. Of
course, you don’t have to be doing a fall event to
participate…
SECOND, because of numerous requests, we
are bringing back our Indy Runners New Member/New Runner Runs. These informal runs will take
place on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month
through October, beginning with the first run on
Wednesday, August 23rd. These runs begin in Broad
Ripple, at the wooden deck in front of The Brugge…
just look for the Indy Runners tent. We begin at
6:30pm, to allow those of you who may have to work
late. And, as you might expect, we provide cold beverages afterwards. These runs are timed at approximately 40-45 minutes, so that everyone can run at
their own pace, and yet finish at about the same time
as everyone else. Although these events are specifically for new runners/new members, all Indy Runners members are welcome!
Indy Runners New Member/New Runner Runs (2nd
& 4th Wednesday through October):
August 23rd
September 13th
September 27th
October 11th
October 25th
THIRD, the Indy Runners board has
open positions as follows:
•
Membership Director – maintains membership database; processes new memberships
and renewing memberships.
•
Webmaster – oversees updates to the Indy
Runners website, www.indyrunners.org; depending on the timing of filling the position,
this individual may have the opportunity to
also assist and/or oversee the new re-design
of the website, scheduled to take place this
fall.
•
Social Chairman – creates and implements
all non-running social activities for the club.
We are looking to fill these positions as
soon as possible. For more information, or to express your interest, please contact me.
FOURTH, the 2007 Indy Runners MiniMarathon Training Program is expected to be our
best ever. Please look for registration forms at all
the local running stores sometime at the end of
September. We will also include all registration
information in the next issue of Foot Prints, as
well. Also, we are still looking for a few committed volunteers to assist with the mini-training
program steering committee. Again, please let
me know if you have an interest in participating
in next year’s event. Don’t forget, the MiniMarathon usually fills up before the end of the
year, and this year is no exception. So, if you
haven’t yet registered, please do so soon!

THE WALKER’S PAGE
VOLUNTEERING at RACES
By Marcia Gascho
I have walked in a number of races over the
years. I have done the Mini Marathon as well as
many 5Ks and as a participant, I’ve always
appreciated the volunteers at the start, along the
route, and at the finish line. They check me in at
Registration, answer my questions, point the way to
the start line, give me water, encourage me along
the course, greet me at the finish line, and serve me
post-race goodies. As much as I enjoy participating
in races, I also find it rewarding to be a volunteer. I
have served Gatorade at the Mini Marathon,
worked at a water stop in a cornfield at Conner
Prairie, and was a sentry for the
Sam Costa course. But…my
favorite job is to work at the food
and water tables at the finish line.
My husband and I have handed out
refreshments at Indy Runners races
like the Leading Ladies,
Gingerbread, Sam Costa, and
Groundhog 7 for quite a few years.
You need to have the right
stuff to work refreshments at the
finish line! The following items
are essential: tables, large water
and coolers, water, energy drink
mix, cups, food, and most
importantly - trash barrels. The
first step is to pick out a good spot
to set up the tables. Depending on
the size of the race, that could mean from 1 to 3
tables. It’s good idea to have a location that’s
protected from the wind if it’s a cold day. If it’s
hot, a nice shady spot is always welcome. We come
dressed for the elements since we may be standing
outside for a long time. The tables should be
located in a visible spot from the finish line so
runners and walkers can easily find you. At the
2006 Groundhog race in Zionsville, it was pretty
windy and nippy out so we were happy to set up
inside the building. We try to prepare as much
liquid and food as possible in advance. We find a
source of water, usually from a kitchen, and fill the
coolers. It helps to have something to mix Gatorade
with - a large paddle works well but a cafeteria tray
has worked in a pinch. We then begin the arduous
task of filling countless cups with water and
Gatorade and setting them up on the table. If it’s a
short race, we need to get food and liquids ready as
quickly as possible. We open boxes of fruit, break
apart bananas, and set out trays of cookies. (We
usually sample some to make sure they taste good…)
One year at the Sam Costa half-marathon, it was so
cold that the water froze in the cups. We spent a lot
of time squishing cups trying to break up the ice.
As the participants of the race approach the
finish line, we’re kept pretty busy making sure there
is plenty of liquids and food available. Sometimes
the water and Gatorade disappear so
quickly that it’s a constant race to
stay ahead of the demand. It helps to
have some extra water and Gatorade
on hand so we can quickly replenish
our stock when it runs low. At the
Sam Costa, there are usually several
hundred participants so we have
quite a rush at times putting out
fresh cookies, preparing fruit, and
filling cups. We sometimes split out
duties so that one person handles
liquids and the other volunteers do
the fruit/cookies. It’s truly a team
effort and we try to pitch in
whenever we see someone needs
help.
After the race, we don’t put
away everything immediately. Sometimes there’s a
second tide after the awards ceremony or when a
group of late stragglers come in. When most people
have left, we empty out any water or Gatorade and
pack up or divvy up any leftover food.
I am usually pretty tired after working at a
race, especially the Sam Costa, since we have been
there standing for hours. However, it is a good kind
of tired – knowing I’ve provided refreshment to
weary, hungry, and thirsty (and grateful) race
participants! If you want to ‘give back’ to the sport
of running or walking, I encourage you to volunteer
at a race sometime. I am always rewarded by the
experience. Most participants seem genuinely happy
to see our efforts and often thank us for being there.
Let us know if you’re interested in volunteering!

Hydration
Well, summer is officially here. Whether you
are walking, jogging for
fitness, or training to
race there are a myriad
of benefits and challenges that come with
the changes in humidity
and heat that this season
brings with it. Benefits
include the allure of the
great outdoors, increased opportunities for training surfaces, and the
ever wonderful runner’s tans. The challenges however are perhaps what define this season more than
any other. There is one challenge that has an effect
on every aspect of our personal training. Perhaps
more than any of the external factors this season
brings with it, hydration. Did you know that your
heart rate increases eight beats per minute for every
liter of sweat lost during exercise? (American
Counsel on Exercise). How we stay hydrated,
when we hydrate, and with what substances we hydrate are very important factors that will have a
substantial effect on the success of this seasons
training.
The methods we use to stay hydrated can
have a large impact on the effectiveness of the hydration process. By method, I mean, are you an individual who drinks water or other healthy hydrating substances only at meal time? Do you have
small amounts with your meal and then cram with
large amounts at some other period of time? Do
you only drink when the urge strikes you or when
you are thirsty? Or do you have a set routine that
includes various healthy liquids and amounts
throughout the day? The answers to these questions
are very important. The healthiest alternative of
course is to have a set routine, maybe have a personal rule that you never go past a drinking fountain with out taking a drink, or always have a container of some type with you, or having at least two
glasses or more at meal and snack times.
Hydrating throughout the day is the easy
part, hydrating during extended periods of exercise
is the more difficult part but is a critical aspect in
the process of hydration. It can be as simple as doing a loop where there are water stations along the
way (a park), or it may require that you bring your
fluids with you. There are several products that can
make this less annoying and bulky while on the
move. The most well known line of products is
Camelbak©, this line is based around refillable
bladders of varying volumes and is made to be
worn around the waist in a way that reduces bouncing and other annoying motion. Another line is by
Amphipod©, this line is based around bottles that
are again of varying volumes and are embedded in
a belt. This offers the advantages of not having a
hose, and easier cleaning. There is also a line by
Nathan©, this product mostly focused around belts
with a series of small bottles that gels and other energy and re-hydration products can be put into for
the long runs.
There are many products and substances out
there that will aide in helping you meet your hydration needs however none of them will make up for
poor habits and lack of planning ahead. Part of
planning ahead is having the knowledge regarding
the environmental factors that contribute to dehydration. There is a useful and free website from the
weather channel that allows you to put your zip
code in and it calculates the amount of fluid intake
you need on that day. It can be found at
http://www.weather.com/outlook/health/fitness/tool
s/hydration . However you do it just remember hydrating is one of the most important things you can
do for your health and fitness.

10 Running Secrets
By Coach Matt Ebersole
Most of the time the best part of a workout
is being done. Though the feeling of accomplishment and feeling fit are well worth the effort.
Even the fast runners have lousy days
when they don’t feel like running. However, they
have committed themselves to a goal and do not
reopen the discussion about whether the goal is
worth the sacrifice every bad day that rolls around.
You can live off of the glory of one great
performance for a very long time and that success
can carry over into other areas of your life. If you
can run a marathon what else can you accomplish?
There is nothing new under the sun. As
much as coaches like to think they have original
ideas it was all pretty much covered after Lydiard.
a world record or winning a gold medal could make
a person feel pretty good.
Labor Day marks the 26th anniversary of
my first race. I still remember that one. I have forgotten many of them. One that I will always remember was my first marathon. You will too.
Train hard. Make it a good memory.
Never limit yourself. Challenge yourself
and then find small ways to work towards the big
goal. Brett Hess taught me that. It just took a long
time for me to learn the lesson.
Misery loves company. Thanks to people
like Jon, Gerry, Jackie, Ross, and Kenny, I still
look forward to 7:00am on Saturday every week.
Good running friends are a treasure.
There is no perfect way to train. The art
of coaching is reaching an individual and helping
them figure out what works for them.
Matt is one of the owners of the Athletic Annex Running Centre
and coaches groups
and individuals of all
abilities. Please visit
www.athleticannex.
com for more information.
Always trust a positive result. Always
doubt a negative one. This one is borrowed from
Coach Jack Daniels.
The best way to measure success in running
is by world records, gold medals, and prize money.
I doubt it. I would measure it by how good it can
make you feel. Of course, I would bet that setting
