“Events become less common as many athletes move indoors due to the cold. But falling temperatures don’t have to coincide with less activity.”

While endurance races take place in the Chicago area year round, the season, once again, has begun to slow down for the year. With the exception of Thanksgiving, one of the most popular days of the year to hold an event, races become less common as many athletes move indoors due to the cold, snow and reduced daylight.

Falling temperatures don’t have to coincide with less activity, though. As Melissa Silverberg shows on page 33, spinning has taken off in popularity and provides athletes from a variety of sport backgrounds with an exhilarating way to stay in shape without needing to brave the elements. With many spin studios throughout the city and suburbs, Chicago-area fitness enthusiasts can easily find a studio that fits their style and schedule.

This time of year also, of course, brings the holidays. If you need ideas for what to get the active lifestyle enthusiast in your life, be sure to check out pages 36-39. We rounded up nearly two dozen different products ideal for runners, cyclists, fitness aficionados and outdoor activity lovers. With most products available at local specialty stores, you can feel good about supporting local business while surprising the athlete in your life with great gear to keep them motivated during the winter.

And if you’re not quite ready to let race season go, we have a complete recap of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon on page 40. Think you did well compared to your fellow Illinoisans? The top 100 male and female finishers from the state are all listed on page 42.

� e Syndicate Track Club has one major goal: to help runners � nd the best versions of themselves.

Started uno� cially three years ago by Dave Coligado, the Syndicate Track Club entered Chicago’s running scene in earnest last January with a handful of members. Since then, the group has grown to include several dozen runners all training together for the same race voted on by club mem-bers. � is fall, runners targeted the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon or Bank of America Chicago Marathons.

“This isn’t for someone who wants to run and just finish,” Coligado says. “This is for people who have a couple under their belts and have a goal.”

Coligado emphasizes that each runner’s particular goal matters less than the fact that they aim to better their performance on race day.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re a 4:30 runner looking for a 4:15 or a 3:20 runner looking for a 3:10,” Coligado says. “We just want people to improve from where they were previously.”

To achieve that, Coligado, who has taken a variety of strength and conditioning and running courses online, provides members with free workouts through Train-ingPeaks, an online training plan platform. Each week features one track workout, one tempo workout and one Saturday long run along with weekly strength and con-ditioning designed to improve running performance.

“A lot of people are PRing, getting faster, their mile times are dropping,” Coligado says. “� ere’s a sense of camaraderie. Everyone’s su� ering and getting better at the same time.”

Colidago’s drive to improve himself and others comes from his past experience. He has lost over half his body weight since changing his diet and life-style along with incorporating running and fitness into his life. He ran his first half marathon in 2008, and, while watching the Bank of America Chicago Marathon that same year with his father, who was hospitalized due to a brain tumor, signed up for a 50K less than one month later. Coligado finished the 50K in 4:47 and gave his medal to his father the fol-lowing day. Two days later, his father passed away. After that, he decided to stop smoking and intensely dedicated himself to running, completing his first official marathon in January 2009 while fundraising for the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

“I never thought I could get to where I am now,” Coligado says. “A lot of people get in this mindset of, ‘This is the best I’m going to be.’ Everyone should give themselves the opportunity to be the best ver-sion of themselves. People are afraid to get out of their comfort zone and give themselves a chance to be awesome. I think sometimes people need a push or need to see that other people can do it. We want to give that person the tools and the opportunity to do it and do it for free.

omen for Tri, an initiative launched last year with the support of Ironman and Life Time, recently announced two programs designed to � nancially support female

triathletes. � e 2016 Women for Tri Triathlon Club Grant and Collegiate Scholarship Programs will assist both clubs and college athletes in their pursuit to de-velop their skills in the sport.

“The Women For Tri initiative was started to help further female participation in the sport of triath-lon – while also providing a platform for female triathletes to share, educate and learn,” Andrew Messick, Chief Executive Officer for IRONMAN, said in a press release. “We are thrilled to kick off the Women For Tri™ Triathlon Club Grant and Collegiate Scholarship Programs. This is the first actionable step Women For Tri is taking towards increasing female participation and we are excited to provide these scholarship and grants to help fund female triathletes at all stages and abilities.”

� e Women for Tri 2016 Triathlon Club Grant Program will award two rounds of grants of up to $2,500 per club to develop programming and activities that encourage female participation in triathlon. � e � rst round of applications closed on Oct. 31, but the second round of applications remains open until April 30, 2016. All formally organized clubs can apply, and funds can go towards clinics, recruit-ment, education and networking/social gatherings.

� e Women for Tri 2016 Collegiate Scholarship Pro-gram will provide � ve scholarships of $5,000 each to full-time undergraduate or graduate school students who are active members of their school’s triathlon team. Applications for the scholarship are due by Nov. 30.

To support these � nancial assistance programs, Women for Tri launched exclusive gear, available at www.ironmanstore.com/women-for-tri. All net pro-ceeds will fund the grant and scholarship programs.

Data and the Bank of America Chicago MarathonStudents and professor Karen Smilowitz from Northwestern Uni-versity’s McCormick School of En-gineering partnered with the Bank of America Chicago Marathon to harness the power of the race’s data to assist with race manage-ment. This work plays an important role in helping mass participation events operate and make adjust-ments throughout the day in case of changing situations.

CNN Correspondent Releases Running MemoirTom Foreman, a CNN corre-spondent since 2004, visited the Chicago area in mid-October to run the Bank of America Chicago Marathon and promote his newly-released memoir, My Year of Run-ning Dangerously. In it, Foreman discusses his return to running and his introduction to ultra running.

I’m Not Sore, What Gives?While delayed onset muscle soreness, or DOMS, may feel familiar to many endurance athletes, not every work-out forces you to hobble around the next day. Though you may sometimes experience soreness, it isn’t the best measure of effectiveness. Training logs provide a better representation of your progress over time.

rossTown Fitness, a high intensity interval training fitness studio currently located in the West Loop (1031 W. Madison), will open its first location on Chicago’s north side this fall.

The new studio, located at 3600 N. Halsted, will bring the gym’s signature style to Lakeview.

“It’s the perfect location,” CrossTown Fitness owner Charlie Graff says. “It’s a great neighborhood and there’s a great mini community right around there as well, so it was a no-brainer for us to open up there.”

Graff says the north location will be about 90 per-cent the same as the West Loop location, with the same branding and finishes, but will includes its own unique elements as well.

“It’s a 2.0 version of the West Loop,” Graff says. “There will be some new equipment there that

we don’t have in the West Loop. It has a different footprint, a different layout as well. There will be reasons for people who want to travel to either spot to experience some added features.”

The 3,000-square-foot facility will host more than 80 training programs per week, each of which lasts 50 minutes and features a combination of strength and cardiovascular training. Staff and trainers that currently work in the West Loop will also work at the Lakeview location along with additional trainers brought on to handle the expanded clientele base. The north studio will include highlights from the West Loop, including The Daily Feed, CrossTown Fitness’s on-site café and child care. CrossTown Fitness members can train at either location.

Gannett Company, the publishing company that owns a variety of news outlets around the United States, including USA Today, has created a new marathon series that will aim to promote its races around the country using USA Today and other Gannett-owned publications.

The USA Today Active Sports Alliance, the name of the series, currently includes 14

races. The Detroit Free Press Talmer Bank Marathon, the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon, the Go! St. Louis Marathon, the Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon and the Rite-Aid Cleveland Marathon, along with other events around the country, will make up the series. While these events form the series, none will be owned or operated by the USA Today Sports Active Alliance.

The series, which plans to add more races by the start of 2016, will allow participating events to expand their national advertising through Gan-nett publications and hopes to secure national sponsorship as well.

Sworkit appBringS workout CuStoMization to uSer’S FingertipSWith dozens of fitness apps available, choosing one that best fits your lifestyle can prove difficult. Sworkit, a fitness app from Nexercise, aims to provide users with an app that adapts to their needs.

Sworkit, short for simply work it, features strength, cardio, yoga and stretching routines that Nexercise COO and South Side native Gregory Coleman compares to Spotify.

“We think of a song as analogous to an exercise and a workout as analogous to a playlist,” Coleman says. “You can customize a playlist any way you want, and you can customize a workout any way you want.”

Users open the app, select which type of workout they’d like to complete that day, select how much time they have available for the workout and click begin. From there, the app guides users through exercises, none of which require gym equipment, demonstrating how to perform the exercise through videos and allowing users to skip exercises they find too challenging.

Users can also select from over 200 exercises available in the app’s library to create their own custom workout which they can share with others if they so choose.

“The people who tend to be the most die hard are people who want to be fit but need fitness that’s going to adapt to their lifestyle,” Coleman says. “They have a lot of demands, can’t always make it to the gym or don’t always have the same amount of time every day.”

While the app features bodyweight exercises for the moment, Coleman says it plans to expand to small equipment exercises including kettlebells and dumb-bells in the near future and eventually feature more complex gym equipment as well.

Earlier this year, the University of Florida compared 30 popu-lar iPhone fitness apps to activity guidelines set forth by the American College of Sports Medicine and found Sworkit Lite ranked the highest out of the apps studied.

Columba montes Columba Montes came to the United States from Mexico when she was 20 years old and began running the follow-ing year at the prompting of her brother, who told her she’d become overweight if she didn’t run. She started running for 12 minutes and eventually worked up to 40 minutes. After having her daughters, she began to suffer from depression and found running with her oldest daughter in a stroller along the lakefront helped alleviate her symptoms. Friends

she met through Chicago United Running invited her to sign up for a half marathon, which she finished in 1:35. She began to train with coach Roberto Alverez five months later and since then has gone on to become one of the top female runners in the area. She won the CARA Runners’ Choice Circuit in 2012 and had a solid lead in this year’s competition through mid-October. Montes aimed to break one hour in the 10 miler this year, but a rock in her shoe caused a blister and kept her from achieving that by 45 seconds. Next year, she wants to improve her 5K time and continue her coaching role with the Mini Chicago Road Runners.

bob laRueWhat began as a bucket list item turned into a lifestyle for Bob LaRue. After completing his first Bank of America Chicago Marathon with his siblings in 2009 and his first Chicago Triathlon the same year, LaRue continued com-peting, increasing his distance in triathlon in particular to the full Ironman. In September, LaRue finished fifth at Ironman Wisconsin, taking second in the 30-34 age group with a 9:34:59 time that qualified him for the Ironman

World Championships in Kona next year. Nine days later, he defended his title in the Conway Park Autumn Classic, winning the race for the sixth consecutive year with a blistering 15:30 5K. LaRue ran the New York City Marathon on Nov. 1, which he says is his favorite marathon, and plans to focus on triathlons next year in preparation for competing in Kona.

t just 15 years old, Juan Carlos Gon-zalez Jr. of Chicago’s Southwest Side will compete in this year’s XTERRA World Championships race on Nov. 1

in Maui, Hawaii. He has already achieved his two main goals going into the race by first mak-ing the event, as well as being race’s youngest competitor, battling from the bottom of his 15-19 age group.

Carlos’s road to Hawaii was not a paved one, and rightfully so. As a hybrid sport, the XTERRA se-ries, created in 1996, is considered the premier off-road triathlon series in the world. Consisting of an open water ocean swim, mountain bike and trail running legs, it is a fight from start to finish. After meeting Carlos and his parents at Palmisano Park before he got in a late evening working, I could tell he was up for it. Soft but well spoken, Car-los has more of a wrestler’s build from his time in the pool as a water polo player for Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences. Triathlon rac-ing is also in his blood, as his father, Juan Carlos

Sr., was once a professional triathlete in his home country of Mexico.

Riding BMX bikes from the age of 3, Carlos latched onto triathlons while spectating at his father’s triathlon races. Also drawn to mountain biking at an early age, it was a natural progression toward the off road XTERRA racing series.

Along his path to qualifying for this year’s champi-onship race, he competed in his first ever XTERRA race in 2012 in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, taking sec-ond overall. The following year, he would do one better by winning the event. In his first-ever Olym-pic distance XTERRA in Pelham, Alabama this past summer, he finished second in his age group. Besides training for the XTERRA by racing the series’s events, Carlos also races cyclocross for the Heritage Club team out of Lincoln Park. He usually doubles up events by competing in both the Category 3 and Juniors 15-18 age group races. Also in preparation for the race, Carlos has simulated the high heat and humidity of Hawaii’s climate by training with extra

layers when possible. These things, coupled with his supportive parents, teammates, and family friends, have enabled Carlos to stay motivated even through the most difficult of days.

Exactly one year ago, Carlos was selected as Kid Athlete of the Month by Chicago Athlete, where he mentioned his goal of qualifying for this year’s National Championship race, which has now come to fruition. By staying on course and continuing his hard work both in school and training, Carlos has been able to achieve many of his lofty goals while being a role model for other younger athletes on his triathlon team, the Tri-Builders.

None of this personal sacrifice comes without mon-etary obligations though, which is why Juan Ortega, a family friend, helped set up a gofundme.com webpage (https://www.gofundme.com/zy6pfz84) to help with the costs of getting to Hawaii. Any additional help to reach their goal of covering Carlo’s costs for the championship race will be greatly appreciated.

ltramarathoner Kelley Rice can run incredible distances today, but that hasn’t always been the case. In fact, when Rice began her fitness journey,

she couldn’t run one block.

“Throughout my childhood I was very heavy, and heavy off and on again throughout high school and college,” Rice says. “I maxed out at 220 pounds.”

Rice began walking the Lakefront Trail, pro-gressed to jogging and ran her first half marathon in 2004. Now at a healthy weight, as of Septem-ber, Rice had run four full marathons, three 50K

races and a 50-mile race, along with dozens of shorter races.

Rice completed her first 50 miler in September at the Hennepin Hundred in Sterling, and though the race didn’t get off to the best start, by the end Rice described it as “one of the best days of my life.”

“My legs just weren’t cooperating,” Rice says. “I was pushing as hard as I could. I’d look at my watch and wasn’t picking up any speed—not that you’re going to run 50 miles speedily—but the effort did not match what was displaying on my watch.”

At mile 32, however, things changed for Rice.

“I was like a new person,” she says. “I was 1:30-2:00 minutes per mile faster over the last 18 and finished third in my age group.”

Rice runs on behalf of Team Eisenberg, the en-durance sports team that benefits the Harold E. Eisenberg Foundation and its mission to support gastrointestinal cancer research. The founda-tion, headquartered in Northfield, works with the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University to develop prevention and treatment of the full spectrum of GI cancers. Rice found out about Team Eisen-berg through work and has raised over $16,000 for the organization during her involvement with the team.

“I did not expect the amount of response I got [af-ter sending out an email blast for donations],” Rice says. “So many people said that their dad or mom or sister or aunt has passed away from GI cancer, which made it more personal very quickly. All these people I knew: I had no idea they had lost people to GI cancer.”

Thinking about those who benefit from the work done by the Harold E. Eisenberg Foundation helps motivate Rice during particularly tough moments in running.

“[During my] 50 miles, I had no control over what my body was doing that day,” she says. “I thought, ‘You should still be smiling through this, because I know other people who have smiled through much worse.’ Sometimes the only control we have is over our attitudes and not our bodies. All the people I know definitely inspired me to finish my 50 miler and finish strong.”

This year, Team Eisenberg participated in the Cinco de Miler in May, the Rock ‘n’ Roll Chicago Half Marathon in July and will take part in the Hot Chocolate 15K in November, but it also allows runners to pick any race and use it for fundraising. Many of the races Rice has run haven’t been of-ficial Team Eisenberg events, but she always gets a call the day before the race regardless, wishing her luck and following up afterwards to see how the race went.

“You don’t have to be a big runner to get involved with Team Eisenberg,” Rice says. “At the end of the day, it’s about raising awareness for a cancer that doesn’t get enough publicity even though it’s one of the most deadly cancers. If you want to do a 5K walk or run/walk: it doesn’t have to be a half mara-thon, marathon or 50 miler. You don’t have to be a speedy runner. At the end of the day, it’s about raising awareness for GI cancer and raising money if possible.”

Believe it or not, some of us are “winter people.” My family, including teenagers, looks forward to the season because we love to cross country ski, hike and snow-shoe together. But winter can be tough. Chicagoans tend stay indoors and eat more than we should, creating environments for everything from cabin fever to depres-sion. Getting involved in organized inside sports like swim teams, basketball and indoor soccer can help you remain active during the winter, but you should also go outdoors every day to thrive during this season. Having fun with your family outside can turn a dark, cold day into beautiful, fresh fun.

The Cook County Forest Preserve offers a wide variety of outdoor activities all winter long. You and your kids can go on an Owl Prowl at the River Trail Nature Center in Northbrook or study hawks at the Little Red Schoolhouse Nature Center in Willow Springs. You can take Archery 101 at the Dan Ryan Woods in Chicago, courses on native plants at the Sagawau Environmental Learning Center in Lemont and a Turkey Trot Hike at the Trailside Museum of Natural History in River Forest. In December, Caldwell Woods in Chicago hosts a Family Night Out with Stars, Stories and S’mores. What could be more fun?

The Chicago Park District’s North Park Village Nature Center offers classes on making rope from Illinois plants, collecting seeds to plant next year, turtles and storytelling. You can take an outdoor class on urban forestry at Grand Crossing Park or

go on a Wild Poets Hike at Palmer Park. You can welcome in the Winter Solstice at North Park and learn Wild Crafting at West Lawn Park.

The special destination activities above can pepper your winter weekends with active fun, but you should also get outside on weekdays. One way to do this could be to have a family winter walking contest. Put up a chart marked with “Minutes of Walking.” As a family, come up with some agreed upon incentives to reward each milestone. Set a goal for the winter, for example, walking for 15 minutes per day, six days per week for ten weeks, or see who can walk 1,000 minutes first in the family. Plan a celebration for the end of winter to commemorate everyone’s efforts. Parents, set positive examples. Walk together when possible and make it fun! Think of the conversations you’ll have.

Encourage outside play whenever possible. Build those snowmen; have those snowball fights. Invite friends over to play outside. Teach your kids how to dress properly for the weather so that they are comfortable and can have fun.

Gather up the hats, mittens and warm layers, prepare the soup in the slow cooker and find the hot choco-late. Winter can offer as much outdoor adventure as any season. And regular doses of activity, fresh air and family time together can brighten everyone’s mood. Enjoy!

You aren’t having a nightmare. In fact, you signed up for this. And if you believe the hype, you’ll soon be addicted to the rush of the spin class: a craze that has grown in the fitness world for years and shows no signs of slowing down.

As spin classes continue to grow in popularity and more studios pop up around the Chicago area, regular athletes and newcomers alike are trying the high-intensity workout and sticking with it.

“It is addicting because it gets your endorphins and happy juices flowing and it just makes you feel so good that you keep coming back for more,” Jennifer Solberg, co-owner of Spynergy Cycling Studio in Winnetka for more than 15 years, says.

While studios differ slightly, the general idea is the same: set up lines of bikes with an instructor in the front encouraging riders who pedal, jump and twist to the beat of loudly pulsating music for an energetic and exhausting workout.

“There’s nothing like keeping pace with the beat,” Patty Norcross, co-owner of Cycle Cross in Park Ridge, says. “It almost feels like you are in a nightclub dancing.”

Norcross has done marathons, triathlons and half Ironman races, but says no matter what she trained for, spin classes have always been a part of her regimen.

“Everyone can do it. It has a lower impact on your joints,” Norcross says. “Being a runner, as I’ve gotten older I’ve had to cut down on my long runs because of my joints, but with cycling I’ve never had any issues.”

Cycle Cross has a large screen taking up one of its walls that guides riders through 140 different destinations from the hills of Europe to the roads of New York during class. From seeing the snow in the mountains to watching the sunrise in the plains, Norcross says the screen makes time pass faster as riders pedal through real life scenery.

“I’ve always worked out because mentally it gave me strength,” Norcross says. “You put your body through a strenuous workout and it releases a lot of pent up energy and calms you down. You can get that in a quick spin class.”

Kevin Teborek opened his studio, E-Town Cycle, in Evanston in June, which joins the intensity of spin with a number of other workouts.

His classes include one that combines 40 minutes of spinning with 20 minutes of yoga, one that splits an hour between the spin bike and CrossFit, and a two-hour class where riders race to get to 50 miles as fast as they can.

“It’s a really nice hybrid of things,” he says. “We want to work the entire body. Diversification is huge. We can’t just live off one thing.”

Though spinning takes place in a group setting, stu-dio owners say it is still a personal experience. Each rider controls the resistance on his or her bike, so while it may look like two people next to one another get the same workout, they likely have differences.

“Everyone is feeding off each other,” Solberg said. “Being part of the group motivates you to push yourself.”

Solberg admits that spinning may intimidate new-comers who think they can’t keep up with the class, but she encourages everyone to try it.

“You can make it easy or you can make it hard,” Solberg says, “which means this is something everyone can do.”

Some studios pit riders against riders for a more competitive atmosphere. At Flywheel Chicago’s Gold Coast and Old Town studios, nearly 50 riders try to pedal their way to the top of the leader board during each class.

“It’s a really challenging experience, but it’s as challenging as the rider sets out for it to be,” Donna Cennamano, master instructor, says. “It adds that extra spark, that extra motivation to have a good, fun competition amongst each other.”

Flywheel is an international chain of more than 30 studios where spin classes are choreographed to the music and tech savvy tablets on each bike record and store the rider’s metrics, whether they opt in or out of the competition.

It’s also a great way to keep in shape during Chicago’s prolonged winter season when only the bravest runners and cyclists venture outdoors, Cennamano says.

While the exercise benefits the body and mind, most spinning enthusiasts say the craze is pop-ular because of what happens when people get off their bikes.

“It’s more about the people. You are making new friends and sharing an hour together in a kind of intimate space. People start breaking down all the walls they’ve put up and it becomes very empowering,” Teborek says.

Nowhere is that more evident than at SoulCycle’s locations in the Loop and Old Town.

At $30 a class, SoulCycle costs more than many other spinning options in the city, but participating means you get to be part of the community that everyone from Oprah to Lady Gaga has embraced.

“What SoulCycle has managed to pinpoint is that it’s not just about the workout. You go to see friends, hang out, share a common expe-rience and also to work out and feel good,” Chicago instructor Anthony McClain says. “We try to cultivate an experience that we’re all in this together. It’s not just about sweating. It’s a lifestyle.”

The “sanctuary,” as SoulCycle calls its studios, have anywhere between 40 and 70 bikes in a room lit by a few candles near the instructor’s bike.

“For people who are new you don’t feel like everyone is looking at you,” McClain says. “But, also when the lights are down and I ask you to focus on the sound of my voice you can close your eyes, feel your body and appreciate the moment.”

While spinning has been in the spotlight for a while now, frequent riders say the craze isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

SETS AMERICAN MASTER’S RECORD

Perennial wheelchair champion McFadden continued her winning streak at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, besting her own course record in the process. McFadden crossed the � nish line in 1:41:10 with a solid lead on second place � nisher Manuela Schaer of Switzerland, who � nished in 1:41:56.

Dickson Chumba of Kenya won the � rst pacer-free Bank of America Chicago Marathon in over 20 years in 2:09:25: the slowest winning time since the infamous 2007 race, when heat and humidity forced the race to close the course after about three and a half hours. Chumba, Sammy Kitwara and Abera Kuma broke away from the lead pack at mile 20, with Chumba establishing a 20-second lead by mile 24. Chum-ba, who � nished third at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon last year, ended up winning by 25 seconds, with Kitwara � nishing second in 2:09:50 and Sammy Ndungu taking third in 2:10:06.

In the women’s race, half marathon world record holder Florence Kiplagat, also of Kenya, broke the tape in 2:23:33. Kiplagat pulled ahead near the 40K mark and � nished 10

seconds ahead of Yebrugal Melese. Birhane Dibaba’s 2:24:24 was good for third at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, but the Abbott World Marathon Majors points she picked up as a result of that � nish moved her into second place in this year’s AWMM competition.

Kastor was the top American woman at the race this year as well, followed by Sara Hall (2:31:14) and Sarah Crouch (2:32:51). Luke Puskedra was the � rst American male � nisher, taking � ve minutes o� his PR with a 2:10:24, followed by Elkanah Kibet (2:11:31) and Fernando Cabada (2:15:36).

Kurt Fearnley of Australia won the men’s wheelchair race, improving on his second place finish from last year. The Bank of America Chicago Marathon served as the U.S. Paralympic Trials, and McFadden, Chelsea McClammer, Joshua George and Aaron Pike all earned a spot on the U. S. Paralympic Team for the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games.

Full results from the Bank of America Chicago Marathon are available at www.chicagomarathon.com.

On the hottest race day since 2011, over 37,000 runners fi lled the streets of Chicago for the 38th Bank of America Chicago Marathon on Oct. 11, where Deena Kastor celebrated the 10th anniversary of her victory in Chicago by setting a new American master’s record. Kastor, who set the world master’s half marathon record last year, fi nished seventh overall in 2:27:47, almost a full minute faster than the previous master’s marathon record set by Colleen De Reuck in Chicago in 2005.

THE PROBLEMRepetitive motions of day-to-day life cause muscles to contract and relax. Over time, these contractions become shorter. As they become shorter, muscles and fascia become chronically contracted, forming knots, congested tissue, and muscle tightness leading to dysfunction, disability and pain.

The health of muscles is directly affected by tightness in the muscles. Blood and lymph volume is drastically reduced in hyper-contracted muscle tissue. Tremendous congestion and infl ammation accumulates in the tissue from cellular metabolic wastes, all due to ineffective circulation. As this stagnation progresses, the tissue suffers increasingly destructive pathological changes.

DELOS THERAPYDelos Therapy involves applied systematic pressure to the entire length of the muscle to stretch muscular fibrils, leading to elevated vascular and lymphatic circulation, improving the vital health of the affected tissue, eliminating pain and restoring function.

HOW WE DIFFER FROM...Physical TherapyConventional techniques of stretching and strengthening are ineffective for hyper-contracted muscle tissue. Delos Therapy addresses the root cause of the pain by micro-stretching muscles and fascia.

ChiropracticRather than manipulating bones that may be out of alignment, Delos therapy addresses the muscle tissue, which is the force that is causing the skeletal misalignment in the first place.

MassageCompared to Delos, regular massage is a superfi cial technique that doesn’t optimally address muscular tightness. Even deep tissue and sports massage don’t hold tissue in a stretched position long enough to be fully effective.

Conventional StretchingTight tissue doesn’t stretch, so during conventional stretching, only healthy fibers are stretched. As a result, flexibility often increases, but pain and stiffness don’t diminish.

CONDITIONS TREATED BY DELOS• Headaches/migraines • Back/neck pain• Shoulder pain • Arthritis• Sciatica • IT band syndrome• Carpal tunnel syndrome • Tennis/golfer’s elbow• Hip pain • Plantar fasciitis • Tendonitis • TMJ • Bursitis • Fibromyalgia • Knee pain • Shin splints

BENEFITS OF DELOS• Prevention of surgeries • Elimination of pain symptoms• Reduced rehabilitation time • Reduced treatment costs• Restored function • Reduced stiffness• Increased range of motion

Do You Keep Running Into Problems?Runners often experience a number of seemingly unrelated problems that come and go creating pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion. Those problems could be:• Plantar Fasciitis, Patellar Tendonitis• Shin Splints, IT-Band Syndrome• Piriformis Syndrome, Hip Tightness• Low Back pain, Neck/Shoulder Pain• Chronic Hamstring Tightness

Are these different names for the same problem? The overlooked fact is that these problems often have the same underlying cause—a foot-knee-hip imbalance.

Running involves a repeated weight transfer from one leg to the other that requires the foot, knee and hip to maintain consistent alignment.

During the single leg stance, if the arch or knee collapses or if the hips tilt to one side, there will be repetitive stress transmitted throughout the body that can cause any of the symptoms listed above.

Readiness to Run AssessmentThe Step-Down Assessment determines if the problem is at the feet, knees or hips and predicts the likelihood that a running injury or symptom will occur. When performing this assessment, concentrate on one area at a time (foot, knee, hip). It is useful to have someone take a picture or video of you performing this assessment.

Stand on a slightly elevated surface with your feet under your hips. The knee of the stance leg will bend slightly as you reach the foot of the non-weight bearing leg down towards the ground. The foot of the reaching leg will point down, hovering above the ground. It is best to perform this assessment barefoot to observe the position of the foot. Here is what you should look for:

#1 FOOT: The foot of the stance leg should be pointing straight forward. Note if the arch collapses in or rolls out during the assessment.

#2 KNEE: Note your ability to keep the knee of the stance leg directly over the foot as you step down. Note if the knee collapses in or out.

#3 HIP: Note your ability to keep your hips level, torso upright, and shoulders level as you reach the foot forward.

If you were unable to maintain a neutral arch, keep the knee in line with the foot and maintain level hips throughout the full movement—your foot-knee-hip alignment is off and running is likely to produce symptoms.

Injury Free RunningFoot-knee-hip weakness or misalignment is responsible for many condi-tions that can be chronic and diffi cult to manage clinically without a full understanding of the factors involved. This explains why just treating plantar fasciitis or IT- band syndrome doesn’t fully address the causative factors.

Free Running AssessmentDr. Van Ness, a Certifi ed Chiropractic Sports Physician, and his team have been helping Barrington area runners stay active for more than 18 years with chiropractic care, corrective exercise, sports massage,

assisted stretching, digital gait analysis and custom sport orthotics.

Q It’s been a little while since you’ve competed in a big marathon. What prompted you to run the Bank of America Chicago Marathon this year?A I have struggled a lot with injury and illness the past couple of years. I was very fit in March of 2014 when I got two major fractures. I was doing a lot of downhill training for Boston, which was probably a bad idea. I also had a huge vitamin D and calcium deficiency. They took a really long time to heal. I came back very slowly and even then it was too soon. I had really hoped to run Chicago last year but it still wasn’t resolved. I took some more time off. I did a ton of physical therapy and supplemented calcium and vitamin D. I have only been training at full volume since July. It will take me awhile to get back to my A game but I hope to be really fit for the Olympic Trials in February.

Q How did the race go for you?A It went really well. I didn’t quite get the time I wanted to, I hit a wall at 12 and lost my pack and was completely by myself, so once I didn’t have anyone blocking the wind I really felt it. I made a little bit of a rookie mistake in going out too hard. It’s so hard not to. There’s so much excitement, but I’m thrilled that I crossed the finish line with a huge smile. I finished a marathon, I didn’t hurt myself, I’ll be able to recover well for the trials, and I got to do it in Chicago, and it was just a very, very, very special day for me. Very challenging one, but I think that’s only going to help me in the future. I know I can battle that hard in the end, finishing a marathon is a really amazing feeling. A couple years ago I would’ve beat myself up about it—“Oh, 2:39 sucks,”—but this injury gave me such a better perspective and I really tried to enjoy the whole experience.

Q Do you plan to compete in the Olympic Marathon Trials in February, then?A I have two qualifiers now. I had a B qualifier already. I didn’t get the A, but I got another B qualifier. B is 2:43 and I ran 2:39 so I got a little time bonus money wise, and as the fourth American, I got some financial incentive there as well, so that certainly helps pay the physical therapy bills. I don’t run for money, I run for joy. My parents were out there and several of my friends. It

was a tough, tough last 14 miles. That’s a long way to feel pretty bad, but I’m really so thrilled to get to that line and have complete a marathon.

Q Do you expect to stay involved in the Chicago racing scene in 2016?A Absolutely! My main focus will be the trials in LA in February but I love the local racing scene. Chicago has so many great events. The running com-munity here is one of the main reasons I came back.

Q How do you train during the winter? Do you run all year round, or do you focus on other aspects of fitness when it turns cold?A Well I used to run a ton on the treadmill. But I think that was causing a lot of my injury issues so I’ve been running mostly outside now. I do incorporate cross training and think it’s very useful. I only run six days a week so the other day I will elliptical or bike. I recently got an ElliptiGO and it’s awesome. I will be riding that until it starts getting icy. I also may visit my parents in Florida to get in some warm weather training to prep for LA.

Q If you had to pick one piece of advice you’d offer to any runner, regardless of competitive ability, what would it be? A Take your easy days easy! Save your hard efforts for workouts and especially races. So many runners run way too fast on recovery days. I’m not afraid to run as slow as my body tells me. There are days I run 9:00 miles. My long runs and workout days are often 6:00 pace or faster and I make sure I’m ready for those.

I feel like as runners we’re so hard on ourselves: “I should’ve done this, I could’ve done this,” and I used to be that way, and now I’m like, “Focus on the things you did right. You were healthy enough to be out there and run a marathon,” and I think it’s so important to not take that for granted. Ev-eryone has off days. It’s really unfortunate if it comes on Marathon Sunday because I know how much work everyone puts in, but it’s 100 percent worth it [to be able to run the race].
