Planning is More � an Half the FunPossibilities abound when you sit down to plan. Whether a family vacation or a far off endurance race, the armchair general in all of us comes out when we map out where we want to be in the future.

I am no exception. Every year my family sits down at the table to plan vacations for the coming months or, if we are really on top of it, big-ticket holidays further down the road. Sorting through the endless possibilities––plane trips, hotels, pools and activities––I can’t help but imagine the culmination of my work ending in the perfect vacation where trouble stays back at home and I don’t have to worry about things like lost bags, delays and silly travel stress arguments.

I have a similar feeling at the beginning of each endurance season. While Chicago may still be a winter wonderland, as the days fall off of my new calendar I get that same itch, that same vacation planning excitement, when I start picking and planning for the races and events I will undertake in the coming months.

My regular roster of events includes the Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle in the spring and the Leaning Tower Y Tri to get in the water and onto the bike. But outside of those yearly traditions, I thumb through the very event guide you now hold in your eager hands (or see on your screen––our issues are, of course, gratis at mychicagoathlete.com) and start planning.

My analysis, like yours, probably starts with my current conditioning and training needs. How long will I need to get half marathon ready? Can I dedicate 18 weeks to training or will my summer conflicts hold me back? Then I shift focus to my wants. Should I up my distance? Maybe I should focus on running after a summer of cycling? I was swimming to get stronger in the triathlon—maybe I should throw a triathlon in there somewhere?

In the end, a large portion of my enjoyment of endurance sports stems from opening this guide every year. Planning for possibilities, training for those possibilities and making those possibilities a reality––the yearly story arc of every endurance athlete. Actual races are a sweet reward for the planning and hard dedication to training. Virtually every endurance athlete I’ve spoken with in my career views race day as a victory lap, a symbol of the months and years of training they’ve put their bodies through. I’m no different, though I also admit that since I hit my 50s, that victory lap has sweetened with ample age group placings. A humble brag and also my reward for being old.

With more endurance events to choose from than ever before (and tirelessly accounted for in the pages to follow), I invite you to challenge yourself and try something new. Be optimistic, but realistic. Forget about your lost luggage and stress arguments for a minute and plan to make memories. Mark your calendars––2016 is going to be your year!

See you at the finish line!

if you thrive in hot weather, this race is for you. the 13.1-mile or 6.2-mile tour of Chicago takes you through various city neighborhoods surrounding the downtown area and tends to feature steamy race day temps, given its July date. Cool off post-race while you take in a finish line concert.

Where do you plan to buy your next pair of running shoes? With hundreds of retailers ranging from local businesses to big chains to online shopping, combined with to-do lists more in-timidating than your weekend long run, you may choose to the simplest, most convenient option. If that option isn’t your local speciality running store, you may want to reconsider. With per-sonalized service and advice along with community support, shopping speciality is a win-win situation for all involved.

“It’s easy to dismiss custom shoe fi tting as the critical differ-ence between shopping at a specialty running store and a big box/online retailer. There’s much more to the equation than simply measuring a runner’s foot though,” Dave Zimmer, CEO of Fleet Feet Sports Chicago, says. “The value is that we look at every customer as part of our community and not just as a potential transaction.”

Specialty running stores’ employees develop relationships with their customer, and strive to ensure the runner leaves with a shoe suitable for their unique needs and goals.

“Customers will be fi t properly by someone that will have a genuine conversation with them about their needs and past experiences, as well as their goals and expectations for run-ning,” Joel Feinberg, owner of Universal Sole, says.

By providing a gait analysis and a functional movement as-sessment while also discussing their customers’ current train-ing regimens, prior injuries and general experiences, specialty running store employees offer a fi t process that doesn’t exist online or at big box retailers. This level of engagement results in a unique shopping experience for everyone.

In addition to their personalized attention to customers’ specifi c needs, local retailers provide for runners and the community in many ways.

DICK POND ATHLETICS Dick Pond Athletics, located in fi ve different suburbs, currently hosts a Walk 2 Run program every spring, summer and fall.

“We’ve had people come through our Walk 2 Run program that are leading much healthier lifestyles now than they had in the past,” Debbie Crawford, manager of Dick Pond Athletics’ Carol Stream location, says. “Many of our participants didn’t know each other before, but they have since formed lifelong friendships.”

The stores also host marathon and half marathon training, a youth running program in the spring and weekly Fun Run programs for runners of all abilities. Customers can donate their slightly used shoes to the store’s Share Your Soles program, which provides shoes to Chicagoland residents in need.

FLEET FEET SPORTS Fleet Feet Sports Chicago’s six locally owned and operated locations offer at least one free event per week—group fun runs, seminars, training sessions—to help im-prove community members’ lifestyles. The store also provides free gear and shoes to people in need through charity programs like Back on My Feet.

“Furthermore, Fleet Feet owns, manages or sponsors over 50 races a year in Chicagoland, and every single one of them has a charity partner that benefi ts from the race,” Zimmer says. “By supporting Fleet Feet, customers will also support those in need in all parts of the city, even if they are not runners.”

GENEVA RUNNING OUTFITTERS By over-seeing local children’s races, including its Healthy Kids Running Series, and sponsoring local elementary school running programs, Geneva Running Outfi tters promotes health in Chicagoland youth.

“We have also created free training runs for beginners, focused on everything from 5Ks to marathons,” owner Eric Ott says. “And we support local athletes through shoe donations, via foundations, as well as on an individual need basis.”

OFTEN RUNNING Located in the Bloomington-Normal area, Often Running currently leads free, workout-centered group runs. The store is also involved in local schools’ track and fi eld and cross country programs, providing affordable shoes for children of low income families as well as discounts for student athletes.

“We have also held various fundraisers that support our local food pantry, and have donated slightly used shoes to the local Mission Mart,” Clint Wells, assistant manager at Often Running, says. “We also send some of our shoes to Africa through the MORE Foundation Group.”

RUNNING EXCELS Running Excels cur-rently sponsors three races: The Tombstone 5K, which donates proceeds to the Maeve McNicholas Memorial Foundation; the Em-erald Isle Mile, which donates to the South

Side Irish Parade; and the Frankfort Half Marathon, which donates to the Frankfort Historic Business Association.

“We also offer group runs out of each store, which bring people together from Chicago-land,” owner Beverly Lynch says. “Running with others is motivating, as many lifelong friendships have been formed as a result.”

THE RUNNER’S EDGE The Runner’s Edge sponsors multiple races, including Girls on the Run 5Ks, by providing prizes, shirts and support staff, and assists nearby running groups with in-store events and product demos.

The store also helps local high school cross country and track and fi eld teams, hosting events to show coaches how their student athletes can be properly fi tted for shoes to improve their odds of avoiding injuries.

“For years, we have also supported Share Your Soles, a local, non-profi t organization that provides gently used shoes to people in need throughout the world,” Steve Tanaka, director of business development, says. “So far, we have sent hundreds of used and new shoes to the non-profi t, and will continue to do so in the future.”

THE BENEFITS OF SPECIALTY RUNNING STORES FOR BEGINNERS AND ADVANCED RUNNERS

According to Clint Wells of Often Running, beginners tend to notice the following benefi ts at specialty running stores:

Fitting techniques. Store employees will fi t beginners into their new shoes using a range of techniques, from treadmill to visual analysis, to ensure their purchases will provide long-term comfort and stability.

Direct questions. Oftentimes, be-ginners have lots of questions, either about gear or the sport as a whole. At specialty running stores, experts can provide answers on both of these topics.

Clubs and programs. Beginners will also learn about local running clubs, group runs and beginner running programs where they can meet and socialize with other community mem-bers that have similar interests.

Advanced runners can benefi t from the expertise speciality stores pro-vide as well in the following ways, according to Wells:

Insider knowledge. Not only can advanced runners learn about the latest races and running trends, they will also receive the inside scoop on the newest shoe models and running gear—brands and products they can’t fi nd anywhere else.

Loyalty programs. Joining a store’s loyalty or discount program can lead to potential long-term savings, par-ticularly for runners who often need to purchase new shoes or gear.

Physical therapy. Running stores can provide information on local physical therapists that specialize in whichever type of injury or issue a runner may experience. Therapy can also help prevent future injuries from occurring in the fi rst place.

evaluations to Chicago area corporations’ employees at their offi ces or worksites.

“Our staff will look at the shapes of em-ployees’ feet while they walk, as well as how their feet absorb forces,” David Myatt, director of strategy and business development, says. “This information al-lows us to determine the type of athletic shoe that is most appropriate for employ-ees’ fi tness goals.”

The store offers presentations to high school athletes’ parents with regards to the importance of gait analysis and proper shoe fi t.

“We also work directly with coaches to speak at their pre-season parent meetings, and we provide discounts to families as they select their training shoes,” Myatt says.

UNIVERSAL SOLE Universal Sole hosts weekly fun runs year round, sponsors local running events such as Proud To Run, and hosts events like the Four Mile Classic, which

donates to Chicago Run, a non-profi t that is focused on decreasing childhood obesity.

“Specialty running stores can really be an epicenter of community involvement,” Fein-berg says. “Whenever customers purchase products at local running stores, they are not only helping their community members retain employment. Their purchase also con-tributes to programs that promote commu-nities and build better places for all of us to live, work and play in.”

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 inflammation 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 superficial 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

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.
