Pourquoi je cours?

Je suis une femme dans la mi-quarantaine qui aime bouger malgré mes petites rondeurs. Mais quoi faire pour se mettre en forme? Dans un gym, tu dois payer une fortune, sentir les odeurs des autres et avoir un horaire. Non merci!

La course était pour moi une activité dont je ne comprenais pas du tout le trippe. Chaque fois que je voyais les gens courir, je trouvais qu’ils avaient l’air de souffrir. J’ai déjà essayé de courir en 2009 et au bout de 30 secondes, j’ai vu la mort de près. De toute façon, la course c’est pour les minces athlétiques, les petites rondes ne peuvent pas courir voyons! Un jour, j’écoute une émission animé par Dominic Arpin qui parle de la course et qui nous présente toute sorte de personnes, des jeunes, des vieux, des minces, des potelées, bref, des témoignages de toute sorte de gens qui se sont mis à la course à pied. Ça m’a donné le goût de m’y mettre sérieusement.

J’ai débuté par ajouter une application sur mon téléphone intelligent de course pour débutant . Et c’est comme ça que j’ai eu l’appel à la course!

Une journée en trottant dans un beau sentier, j’ai décidé de me filmer en courant et en donnant des trucs humoristiques sur la course à pied. Mes vidéos sont devenus viraux sur le web. Mon message est: «  tu peux si tu veux! » Pas besoin de t’inscrire dans des courses, juste mettre tes souliers de course et sortir 30 minutes par jour. C’est pas compliqué ça. Ça coûte rien et tu prends soin de toi. Pour moi la course n’est pas une performance, je me fous du temps ou des kilomètres, je cours comme je veux et pour le plaisir que ça m’apporte. Il faut prendre l’air et montrer l’exemple à nos jeunes, nous devons bouger! La motivation c’est juste toi qui peut la trouver, penses aux bienfaits que ça t’apporte après un beau 30 minutes et tu auras le goût de recommencer sans arrêt! La course à pied est bonne pour combattre l’insomnie, régler des problèmes, ta mise en forme, et une perte de poids tout ça combiné avec une bonne alimentation. Pas besoin d’aller payer pour aller dans un groupe où on te dit quoi manger et 1 fois par semaine tu fais la file pour la pesée du bétail, nenon, tu n’as qu’à bien manger mettre tes souliers et bouger. Si tu ne veux pas courir seul, tu n’as qu’à partir ton groupe de course dans ta municipalité, tu fais ça sur les réseaux sociaux, tu indiques que c’est un groupe de coureur sans performance mais seulement pour le plaisir de prendre l’air et bouger en groupe, et c’est gratuit, tu vas rencontrer plein de bon monde et avoir du fun et trouver une motivation. La course à pied pour moi est une révélation, toute les saisons sont magiques pour courir. Il s’agit de bien porter les bons vêtements, comme par exemple, si tu es une femme, tu dois être bien « totonnée”, c’est-à-dire de bien séquestrer tes seins dans un bon soutien «  paddé » car l’été, si tu as des frissons et que tu n’es pas bien « paddée » tu deviendras spectaculaire pour les gens que tu croiseront car tu sais très bien ce que ça fait des seins qui ont des frissons! Si tu as des courbes, on s’en fout, tu peux porter le leggings de course pareille et te foutre des gens, moi aussi j’ai le derrière qui a l’air d’avoir passé deux jours dans un tas de roches tellement j’ai de la cellulite, pis ça, je les mets pareille mes leggings de course car je suis confortable!
Alors, vas courir au pus vite! Bonne course et Bravo de te prendre en main!

ON A GAGNÉ!

L’histoire de la gagnante du Marathon de Boston la plus célèbre, qui n’a pas eu l’occasion de porter sa couronne.

Frenchopener

La coureuse la plus renommée à remporter le Marathon de Boston – pour un temps – n’eut en vérité jamais vraiment gagné la course. Jacqueline Gareau, suivant ses victoires au National Capital Marathon d’Ottawa et au Marathon de Montréal, a vu sa première place dérobée par la fameuse Rosie Ruiz. Cette dernière fut effectivement la première à passer la ligne d’arrivée mais cédera la victoire à la Québécoise Jacqueline Gareau suite à son éventuelle disqualification.

“L’euphorie de la victoire n’était pas au rendez-vous, mais la satisfaction d’avoir accompli mon objectif l’était,” explique Gareau, 62, triathlète, conférencière, massothérapeute et marathonienne, qui a également complété le Marathon de Boston l’an dernier. “Je voulais le prix, bien-sûr, mais je suis devenue plus philosophique vis-à-vis de l’expérience en elle-même. Je sais que j’ai couru ma propre course.”

Finalement, Ruiz s’est vue disqualifiée. Il était évident qu’après cinq kilomètres, personne n’allait rattraper la coureuse ayant fait ses débuts de course à pied à ses 21 ans dans l’effort de d’arrêter la cigarette. La BAA (Boston Athletic Association) – embarrassée de la situation – on fait venir Gareau du Québec afin de revivre sa fin de course et sa victoire, et pour lui remettre son prix tant mérité. Aujourd’hui, l’on se souvient d’elle comme l’héroïne de cet incident.     

“Tout le monde se souvient de cette histoire là, mais mes autres histoires continuent,” dit-elle. “Mon cœur est encore jeune. Mon endurance ne vacille pas”.

A Hopeless Romantic With a Garmin

By Amy Friel

The greatest love story I’ve ever heard begins with a road race.

It was late September of 1982, on a quiet college campus not far from the place where I grew up. They were both young, both students. He came from the big city; she was from a small town. It was your typical boy-meets-girl story.

Except in this story, the boy ran a breakneck 17:35 5K to win the day, and caught the eye of the girl, who had just taken silver in the women’s race.

It was love at first sight.

The coach introduced them after the race, and that was it: life, as they knew it, had changed forever. They dated for a while, then got engaged. They married young, and had adventures, and then babies, and then more adventures.

I should know: one of those babies was me.

My parents’ story is one of those rare, simple, lovely things – a fixture in the background of growing up, like Christmases or family jokes or those elaborate games we play as kids. It’s become a part of the fabric of my family life, and by extension, of me.

I’m sure that growing up in a family of runners shapes you in all kinds of ways. I’m equally sure that I’ll never fully appreciate the value of being raised by that sort of real, true, honest-to-goodness love. But if there’s one thing I can say with relative certainty, it’s that growing up with parents like mine has turned me into a hopeless romantic. 

That is, a hopeless romantic with a Garmin.

I’ve spent the better part of my adult life running solo. And though I’ve had great loves (who ran variably great and not-so-great mile times), I have yet to find what my Mum and Dad found so easily on that college campus three decades ago. I guess soul mates can be hard to come by.

(Unless we’re talking about running shoes. I know all about finding sole mates.)

In the day-to-day grind of training, I’ve always been a lone runner. A long stretch of deserted road or trail is my idea of heaven. But even I can’t help but envy those unstoppable running duos, the couples who can keep pace together so effortlessly, clocking their mileage stride-for-stride. 

Maybe it’s because I grew up with some bizarre, distance running version of How I Met Your Mother, but nothing seems more romantic to me than a couple who trains together. Because really, what runner could resist the siren song of his-and-hers foam rollers, or a candlelit ice bath for two? Who among us hasn’t dreamt of bonding over black toenails and tight calf muscles, or a romantic destination marathon?

Okay, now that I’m saying it out loud, it does sound a little weird.

But what is love, really, if not mutual weirdness? Aren’t we all ultimately just trying to find some other weirdo with whom to obsess about mileage, PRs, and split times – the Wesley Korir to our Tarah McKay, the Chris Winter to our Rachel Cliff?

For me, the ultimate running power-couple will always be my Mum and Dad. They’re more than just a couple – they’re like a really tiny team. And I owe them credit for a lot of things – love, life lessons, support, guidance, genetic material… But one of the best gifts they ever gave me was the sport I love so much.

My parents made me a runner, and I’m grateful for that. Even if they did turn me into a hopeless romantic, too.

You Ask, JP Answers

 

Whether you’re looking for love on the run or hitting the road in search of your happy place, here’s how JP Bédard suggest navigating your running journey.

b

Dear JP:

I find running helps me wade through a lot of stuff, but sometimes I still get stuck in a negative space. You’re such an inspiration – and obviously we are all works in progress – what, if anything, helps you push through the tough mental roadblocks?

Sincerely,

Sara P.

Dear Sara:

There is no doubt in my mind that running is an elixir – no matter what I bring to my run, be it joy, anger, sorrow, or fear, I always arrive at a better place on the other side of that run. Running ‘rightsizes’ me, realigns me, and replenishes me. It’s as though our cadence unearths and unpacks all the ‘baggage’ we’ve carted around with us throughout our life. What we are left with either energizes us, enrages us, or it terrifies us, but either way, it forces us into the moment.

When it comes to pushing through mental roadblocks, I believe it is somewhat of a gift in disguise. For me, the most substantive growth at either a personal or an athletic level always arrives after a period of challenge that I’ve had to work through or push through. Often, when I feel ‘stuck’, it is a direct result of my feeling inadequate because I am comparing myself to what others have achieved. I recently heard some great advice around this matter, so I’ll share it with you because you might find it helpful. The person said, we need to be careful comparing our ‘present’ circumstances with someone else’s ‘highlights reel’.   For whatever it’s worth, I’ll take a ‘bad day’ running over not running… any day!

Dear JP:

Should a runner date a runner or not? That is the question.

Sincerely,

Melly C.

Dear Melly:

It seems like such an easy question on the surface, but once I start digging into it, I quickly realize that no matter which way I go on this one, I’m headed for trouble.

Let’s look at the pros first. Being in love with someone who is as passionate about running as you are certainly makes it easier to ‘allocate’ the family budget towards all those expensive destination races you want to knock off your bucket list. It would also be awesome to be in a relationship with someone who totally gets that going to bed at 9:30pm on Saturday night is completely ‘normal’. And we better not forget about the ‘romantic’ benefits – dating someone who thinks compression socks are sexy… well, that’s just an added bonus!

That being said, there is no denying the downsides to dating another runner. Two people living together and tapering at the same time… that’s bound to get ‘ugly’ real fast. What about all the logistical nightmares involved in this type of relationship? Who is going to be waiting for you at the finish line to help you navigate your weary body back to the car?   If you’re both running, who’s going to crew your 24-hour adventure race or ultra? And race expos… what if you both want to buy the same race jacket or shirt?   Twinsies: definitely not cool!   And worst of all… what if you break up?  Can you really expect to subject all that post-break-up awkwardness on everyone else in your running group?

 

 

Dear JP:

If you have to run two marathons, Boston Marathon and two weeks later Toronto Goodlife Marathon, which one do you choose to run as LSD run (Long Slow Distance) and which one as a race for your PB?

Sincerely,

Hassan A.

Dear Hassan:

Funny you should ask, I just might have a little experience with this one. I’m sure there are lots of people reading this who are thinking: “Are you insane?   One marathon a season is more than enough.” But once you get over the ‘nuttiness’ of this prospect, you begin to see the potential benefits of doing two or more marathons in close succession.

Before I go any further, I should stress that no one attempt this until (s)he has been running for quite some time, and is more in tune with the upper limits of endurance his or her body can withstand. For a few years now, I have been running at least five marathons in the spring, and the same again in the fall racing season. Despite what conventional wisdom might lead you to believe, my best times are never in that first marathon of each season. I tend to peak in my second or third race.

You mentioned that your first of two races takes place in Boston, which considering its terrain and race-day logistics, is a challenging course to hit a PB on. If I were you, I would target the Toronto Goodlife Marathon, and treat Boston as a tune-up race. Start off the first few miles at Boston about 10% slower than your marathon pace, and then ramp it up to your ‘goal pace’ until you hit the halfway point of the race. And now, here’s where you’ll need to make a game-day decision – If you’re still feeling great, and the weather is ideal, you might consider making Boston the PB attempt. You never know what the weather will be like in Toronto, not to mention your stomach and all of the other factors that go into a successful race.

If you decide to shut it down, and stick with Toronto as the goal race, then I suggest you run the second half of Boston at 60-90 seconds slower than your goal marathon pace. Whenever I do this, I always like to ramp up the tempo again during the last kilometer so that I finish strong and leave the day feeling that I have lots left in the tank for my PB in the following race.

 

Christa’s Kicks: New Balance Fresh Foam 1080

Welcome to my new weekly column here at iRun, where I will be running around in the latest running shoes from all of your favorite companies. The column is not intended to compare a bunch of shoes at one time, more so to be a look at individual shoes. Each week I will bring you ‘the shoe of the week’, so come along for the ride and join me for some kicks.

New Balance Fresh Foam 1080

The Look

When I opened the NB Fresh Foam 1080 shoe box and pulled back the tissue paper, I thought I saw an angelic glow coming from the box as I heard a soft ‘ahhhhhhhhhh’ float from it. This shoe is pretty.

Before I had it on my foot I was enamored by its blue pearlescent hue.

I am known to flavor plain, non flashy, black shoes but the aesthetics of this shoe could make me a convert.

NBFF1080b

The Feel

The newly designed Fresh Foam 1080 isn’t just a pretty face. I kicked around in this shoe for several runs including outdoors and indoors at a variety of distances.

This is a neutral shoe with plenty of cushioning to make the long haul comfortable without compromising the ride. You can still get a feel for the road through the cushiony landing. The Fresh Foam midsole provides a soft landing for the footfall, yet the the construction of the shoe upper provides support leaving you feeling stability upon planting your foot and with push off.

My heel felt secure and there was no friction or rubbing, and at the front end, my toes had plenty of room to spread out and do their natural foot thing with landing and leaving.

The Final Kick

The NB Fresh Foam 1080 will launch February 15 in Canada and is their biggest shoe launch this year.

This shoe is great for your everyday kilometers. It will get you comfortably through your long runs and it will look great doing it. This is a neutral shoe that provides good support. New Balance cites its competition or comparable shoe brands/types to be Brooks Glycerin, Saucony Triumph, Asics Nimbus and Adidas Energy Boost. If you have any experience with these shoes and are looking for something new, this may be the shoe you are looking for.

5 Fantastic Super Healthy Super Bowl Snacks

The Super Bowl is traditionally a day for people to let loose, eat the fattiest, greasiest food and drink all the beer. In previous years I would gladly jump on that bandwagon (along with the bandwagon of the team with the best colour combination) but a few months ago I knew I needed a change.

By Alexa Lilius

After years of low energy due to poor diet I have finally committed to taking a real look at what I am eating and how it is affecting my body and mind. I now find that my meals mainly revolve around fueling my body with what it needs for my next run or workout rather than what I crave. Gone are the days of deep fried. That being said i’m still a super fan when it comes to flavour.If I were to have the Food runners ( #crewlove) over for a Superbowl party there would definitely have to be a balance between healthy eating and delicious food. And yes there will be wings!

Super Bowl Snacks ReDone 
Crudite: Who doesn’t love fresh veggies? Ranch dressing is out and hummus is in.

Classic-Cobb-Salad

Runners Cobb Salad: Because you can make friends with salad! This one is my favorite to refuel with after a run.
Base: Arugula and some ripped green leafy lettuce
Raw Vegetables: Cucumbers, grated carrot, tomatoes
Protein: Hard boiled eggs, chicken, avocado and some roasted sweet potato.
Topping: My favorite thing to end a salad with is a handful of roasted pumpkin seeds which are a great antioxidant and high in vitamin E.
Dressing: Salad dressing is one of my favorite things to make. My favourite? A basic vinaigrette: Blend up balsamic, olive oil, mustard ,a tiny bit of maple syrup and squeeze half a lemon or lime.

RA-Veggie-Chili.1-copy

Vegetarian Chili: Super Bowl just isn’t without chili. Beans have protein, and minced mushrooms can be a great meat alternative.

Pineapple Pulled Pork: I don’t eat a lot of bread these days but when I do I dream of this pulled pork on it. This slow cooker pork uses the natural sweetness of the pureed pineapple which is a great alternative to the overly sugary bbq sauce you would normally find with this dish.

Lemon Herb Grilled Wings: A twist on a classic Super Bowl staple. These wings are delicious simply seasoned, grilled and tossed in lemon zest and fresh herbs. If you are lucky enough to have a husband who makes cheese at home, brine these wings in whey.

Flourless-Brownie-Sundae-with-Caramel-Popcorn-The-Laughing-Table-1-of-1

Brownie Sundae: Don’t worry, you won’t find any chocolate in this dish. We would use Ipanema Valley compressed banana brownies and greek vanilla yogurt for topping!

Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon Earns IAAF Gold Label

The International Association of Athletics Federations, for the second consecutive year, has awarded the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon with the IAAF Gold Label.

Meeting the very strictest criteria, not once but twice, puts the race in the elite category of city marathons around the world, a fact not lost on Race Director Alan Brookes.

“We’re thrilled to receive the Gold Label for the second year in a row,” Brookes declared after receiving the news from the IAAF head office in Monaco. “It’s the Michelin 3-stars of running.

“To be placed in the same category as Boston, Chicago, London, Tokyo and the great city marathons of the world is an enormous honour. It really testifies to the prestige of the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon and our commitment to being a leader in road running in Canada.”

For IAAF Competitions Director, Paul Hardy, the awarding of the Gold Label was especially pleasing. He hails from nearby London, Ontario.

“The IAAF Label programme recognizes the best road races in the world,” he declares.  “To achieve Gold Label status takes hard work, commitment and a passion to want to be the best.  I congratulate the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon on receiving the IAAF Gold Label.  Having grown up just down the highway from Toronto, I know what a great city it is and what a great place it is to run.  Keep running Toronto.”

STWM-Start-For-Start-List

Eric Gillis, one of the Waterfront Marathon’s greatest personalities, who ran 2:11:31 in Toronto last October to beat the 2016 Olympic qualifying standard (if he is named to the Canadian team it would be his third Olympic games), shared his support:

“I thought Alan was a gold label race director since the first year I ran STWM back in 2010,” Gillis says. “He has just been phenomenal for Canadian athletes. He is passionate about every athlete he has running in Toronto. This (Gold Label Award) is just a really nice thing to have happen. I am very happy for Alan and his crew at the Canada Running Series.”

Lanni Marchant, who famously broke a 28 year old Canadian women’s record in 2013 with 2:28:00. Marchant also achieved the Olympic qualifying standard with 2:28:09 in Toronto on the same day.

“I just think it speaks volumes for Canadian running in general,” says Marchant who is presently in the midst of high altitude training in Kenya. “You used to have to go elsewhere to get Gold Label events and to get the best competition, and having it in our backyard now kind of shows where we are as a country in athletics.

“It shows the kind of events that Alan Brookes has been putting on. It just makes it exciting as a Canadian runner that I can line up in my home country and have one of the best fields to line up against.”

Over the years the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon has attracted some of the world’s greatest marathoners.

Ethiopia’s Derissa Chimsa set a course record of 2:07:05 in 2013.  Sharon Cherop of Kenya set a course record of 2:22:42 in 2010 then went on to earn a bronze medal at the 2011 IAAF World Championships and a victory in the 2012 Boston Marathon. In 2011 Mare Dibaba finished 2nd in Toronto behind her Ethiopian compatriot, Koren Jal. Last August, Dibaba was crowned World Marathon Champion with an impressive victory in Beijing.

But along with the many elite athletes who compete for hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money are thousands of runners racing on an accurately measured, well managed course to challenge themselves or to raise money for local charities. Last year another $3.5 million was raised by Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon runners for 173 charities.

“It puts Toronto on the world stage,” Alan Brookes says summing up the value of the Gold Label, “and it is recognition for our amazing Canada Running Series organizing crew, the thousands of volunteers, charities, City of Toronto staff, runners and spectators alike, who have built something very special for the sport and the city we love.”


Entries are now being accepted for the 2016 Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon which is set for Sunday October 16th. To register for the Toronto Waterfront Marathon, visit:

I’m getting back to my training because the other thing isn’t working.

I’ve been thinking about running the marathon again, but I’ve been half in and half out because I want to make sure the other facets of my life are running as smoothly as possible before I commit to another time goal. However, after working on the other areas of my life, I remembered what I always remember around now: having the time goal actually helps me with the other stuff, not the other way around. Of course, there’s no magic bullet. And whether you train or not, life will still have its ups and downs. Knowing that, might as well equip yourself for the downs and get in tip-top shape and stop eating candy and drinking bourborn because if the inevitable pain and suffering is coming—better to be physically well prepared.

Today I took the first step on a new program, which was prepared for me by Michelle Clarke, who recently won the Canadian masters world record and is a nutso runner. I’m trying to break three hours at the Toronto Marathon on May 1 and to prepare, I’ll run the Chilly Half on March 1 and Around the Bay on April 3. Today I ran 15K and did seven repeats for two minutes at something like 3:55. The two-minute bursts are fun and a little bit easy. I can run fast for a short period of time pretty well, even though by the seventh set I had to work. It did require a lot of clock watching at first. But gradually I settled into my pace and used road markers to break up the time and laid off my watch.

As far as gear goes, I’m not monogamous. I wore Mizuno shoes and Adidas pants, Nike socks and a Brooks coat over an Adidas long-sleeved shirt over an STWM race shirt. I have Asics gloves and a MEC hat. Most runners probably dress like that—a mishmash of whatever we have. All of the gear I’ve come across has done me well and I don’t really recommend one brand over the other. I have a good winter Nike coat and ran most of my marathons in Saucony and haven’t had any problems. My problems come around 29K, especially if I go out to fast and don’t properly train.

I’m going again for the three hour marathon, even though my last marathon left me feeling like every muscle in my body was slowly being drained of blood. I felt achy even in my fingers and my arms felt impossible to life. I remember crying out for my wife and muttering something like: “It’s too much.” I was hobbling east on Queen Street saying such odd stuff out loud. Tomorrow the workout is 12K and Thursday I’ll do 13K with five hills at the effort level of a 5K race. I have a long way to go to get to my target. I need a 1:26 half marathon in a month and to stop eating a large popcorn at Star Wars by myself. But it’s good to focus on something and try hard and break everything down and rebuild it again and it’s good to have a plan for three months. I tried the other way. Frankly, I felt a bit lost.
