Lagat’s Record Win Headlines 103rd Milrose Games
Lagat Makes History With 8th Wanamaker Mile Victory

It was over in a New York minute.
With an explosive move at the bell, two-time Olympic medallist Bernard Lagat opened a big lead in tonight’s Wanamaker Mile at the 103rd Millrose Games to collect a record eighth Wanamaker victory, breaking his tie with Irish legend Eamonn Coghlan, the famed Chairman of the Boards.
“He knows the boards better than anybody in that race,” Coghlan said after watching Lagat topple his record. “He won it in classic Coghlan style.”
Lagat, 35, ran most of the 11-lap race in third place behind pacemaker David Krummenacker and reigning Olympic 1500m gold medallist Asbel Kiprop of Kenya. The pace of the six-man field was honest through halfway (1:57.6), but after Krummenacker stepped aside with five laps to go, the tempo slackened to 2:59.2 at the three-quarters mark. It was at that point that Lagat decided it was best to wait to make his move.
“It’s just that speed that I’ve been working on, and I knew exactly when to make a move” he told reporters. “I wasn’t going to wait until at the bell like that to make that move, but I wanted to make it a little earlier than I made today, but I was happy with that. I increased the pace as I went through two corners, and I knew by the time I turned back, I knew the victory was mine.”
Lagat’s move left Kiprop, a man with 1:43.17 800-meter speed, flat-footed.
“It was really a surprise,” said the 6′-3″ Kiprop who had never run an indoor race before. “I never knew he is still strong the way he is, compared with how he was running in 2008, you know? He’s really different this year.”
Lagat ran the last lap alone, and broke the tape in 3:56.34 to the delight of the 11,510 fans who attended the meet. Kiprop was able to hold off Britain’s Andy Baddeley to finish second, 3:58.03 to 3:58.09.
For a man who has won nine Olympic and world championships medals, winning for the eighth time here was still very special for Lagat.
“You know, it ranks among the top,” Lagat said. “To me, it’s like winning the Olympics today. Because, if you think about it, I’ve been here since 2001. I was signing autographs for kids who I’m sure in 2001 weren’t even born. And I’m still running.”
Unlike the men’s race, the women’s mile featured a very close finish. After pacemaker Karen Shinkins retired, former Tennessee star Sarah Bowman led until one and one-half laps to go when Britain’s Hannah England shot to the lead. Sara Hall gave chase, and entering the penultimate turn, Hall got on England’s shoulder and appeared to get around her coming out of the final turn.
“Coming around that turn you don’t have much room,” said Hall, who pointed out that England was running wide to protect her position. “It’s hard on this track.”
Hall pushed herself all the way to the line, but England got there 2/100ths of a second earlier in 4:31.48. The 2008 NCAA 1500m champion was thrilled with her first win Madison Square Garden.
“It’s really, really nice,” said England, beaming. “I was kind of hoping, maybe, I could pull it off, and I’m really, really happy with it.
There were two runaways in the high school miles, but only one was expected. In the girl’s contest Corey McGee of Pass Christian High School in Mississippi, overwhelmed pre-race favorite Emily Lipari of Roslyn High School in New York. Lipari ran close behind McGee until there were five laps to go, when she began to fade.
“I don’t know why,” said Lipari, a strong kicker who will attend Villanova University next year. “I’ve been running well.”
Lipari would fade to fifth, while McGee breezed to a three-second win in 4:52.77 over Aisling Cuffe of Cornwall High School in New Windsor, N.Y.
In the boy’s race, top-seeded Pat Schellberg of the Delbarton School in N.J., took the lead with five laps to go, and was never challenged. He coasted to victory in 4:14.84
“This is the win I really wanted, because I came in second and third a lot last year, and I really wanted to beat some of the top milers in the nation,” said Schellberg wrapped in his school flag. “It’s undescribable.”
In the other middle distance race of the night, Lagat’s training partner, Boaz Lalang of Kenya, won the 800m over American Duane Solomon, 1:50.51 to 2:51.14.

Tri Expo: Friday’s Report
I’m just going to come right out there and say it: I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect at Friday’s Tri Expo. Sure, I knew top names like Dean Karnazes and Craig Alexander were going to be on hand giving talks about race preparation and competition, but don’t most people have to work on Fridays?
Well, either secretaries around Southern California were bombarded with “I’m out sick today” phone messages or there is some sort of federal holiday nobody bothered to tell me about because Competitor Group’s first annual Tri Expo was officially a hit. While the list of clinics and vendors is massive, let me just give you an idea of some of the highlights I saw and heard while there today:
12 p.m. Sat down to a tasty lunch and Q&A with Olympian Sarah Haskins and the great folks at Mission Skincare. They are rolling out several new and improved products in 2010, including a muscle rub that Haskins had a large role in helping to develop. One of the coolest things about the rub is it’s vanishing menthol scent, because while athletes want to know and feel that their rub is working, they usually don’t want to clear a room with their medicine cabinet-esque scent. Another cool item is the ultra-grip gel, which dehydrates the palms of your hands enhance your grip on everything from bike shifters to tennis rackets (it’s also good before job interviews and first dates).
1:30: Went to check out some of the booths, where I sat the newest Speedplay pedals, Clif Shot Roks (delicious!) and all the newest triathlon bikes from dozens of companies. Were there free samples? Yes. Did I leave with a bag stuffed full of them. Yep.
2 p.m.: I stopped by the Trigger Point booth where company founder Cassidy Phillips sat me down to talk about body alignment (and why mine needs so much work). I’m still in the rehabilitation stages following a bad car accident where I broke my pelvis in several places. Phillips did some active release on my foot, rib cage and calf, and within seconds I could feel my pelvis align and I could lift my knee up toward my chest on my bad side with ease. If you’ve never taken the time to learn about the importance of body alignment and how it can be keeping you from reaching your performance potential, I suggest you visit the crew at Trigger Point yourself.
2:30 p.m.: I stopped by to check out Andy Potts discuss the newest TYR products and his 2010 racing plans as he taped a segment for TriCenter.
3 p.m.: I caught a glimpse of Triathlete senior editor Matt Fitzgerald as he discussed his new book, “Racing Weight” and fielded questions about how to reach one’s peak performance weight to a standing-room only crowd. I made a mental note to lay off the free Clif Shot Roks and continued on my way.
Saturday promises to just as jam-packed, and begins at 7:30 a.m. with a Breakfast Burrito Bike Ride around Mission Bay with Craig Alexander, Chris Lieto, Kristin Armstrong and Chris Carmichael. Later on at 3 p.m. you can hear ultrarunner phenomenon Dean Karnazes discuss what it takes to be an ultra-distance runner. I hope to see you there!
Ask The Penguin: Sweating Buckets
I am a newbie runner and I sweat a lot! So what is the “cool” or accepted form of sweat maintenance? A head sweatband? Carry a towel? People will be able to tell I am a new runner just by looking at me but I certainly don’t want to draw any extra attention to myself.
Hi,
First off, welcome to the running community. It’s a wonderful place.
It’s not unusual in the early stages for a new runner to “sweat a lot”. If you haven’t been active, just raising your heart rate can cause your body to over react and produce LOTS of sweat.
Very often what happens is that – over time – your body learns to modulate your core temperature more efficiently and you sweat rate actually goes down. This isn’t true for everyone, but it does happen.
You’ll also want to measure your fluid loss. You’ll need to weigh yourself – without clothes on – before you run and after. The goal is to try to lose as LITTLE weight as possible during the run. As the runs get longer you won’t be not lose SOME water weight, but you want to try to maintain as much as possible.
As far as what to wear, that’s really up to you. I’m a hat guy. Some folks like the traditional sweatband. I don’t see many runners carrying towels these days.
But do take care to maintain a balanced hydration.
Waddle on,
John

A look into Rise of the Godslayer’s Northern Grasslands
Filed under: Fantasy, Galleries, Screenshots, Video, Age of Conan, Expansions, Previews, News items
The team at Funcom are hard at work on the new content coming to Age of Conan, like guild renown and raids, as well as the upcoming expansion Rise of the Godslayer. Thankfully, they managed to steal a few moments out of that time to send along some screenshots, concept art, and a great video of the exotic Northern Grasslands area that players will be adventuring through in the upcoming expansion.
Players who pick up Rise of the Godslayer will be treated to beautiful yet dangerous locales, where they’ll meet strange and fascinating new people, and then kill them. Just kidding! Well, not really. Mounted atop tigers, the Khitans will undoubtedly be a fierce fighting force — and that shiny new armor certainly looks pretty cool too. (Thankfully, the red accents will hide the blood well when you strip it off your dead enemies.) Be sure to check out the gallery and the teaser video behind the break for all the latest from this future corner of Hyboria.

World Record Holder Sammy Wanjiru to Race Rock ‘n’ Roll Mardi Gras
‘08 Olympic Marathon Gold Medalist Chooses New Orleans for U.S. Half-Marathon Debut
Half Marathon World Record holder and 2008 Olympic Marathon gold medallist Sammy Wanjiru announced today he will run his first half-marathon in the U.S. at the inaugural Rock ‘n’ Roll Mardi Gras Marathon & ½ Marathon on February 28, 2010.
“I’m very happy to be part of the first Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon in New Orleans,” said Wanjiru, who set his first half-marathon world record in 2005 as an 18 year-old in Rotterdam with a time of 59:16.
He subsequently took back the world record in 2007 with a 58:53 time at the Ras Al Khaimah Half Marathon in the United Arab Emirattes, which Haile Gebrselassie had broken at the ‘06 P.F. Chang’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Arizona ½ Marathon (58:55). Wanjiru then bettered his record by another 20 seconds on March 17th of that year in the City-Pier-City Loop in The Hague, The Netherlands (58:33).
“The race is perfect timing in my build up to the London Marathon,” explained Wanjiru. “I know it will be very competitive, and should be very fast. I’m coming to do my best and hope for a great performance.”
The first Kenyan to win the Olympic Marathon Gold Medal, Wanjiru, 22, boasts an impressive running resume over such a relatively short career. Having only begun running at age 15, his list of global achievements already include course record wins at both the 2009 London Marathon (2:05:10) and 2009 Chicago Marathon (2:05:41) – both represent the fastest times ever run in the respective nations. With his wins in Beijing, London, and Chicago he earned the 2008-2009 World Marathon Majors championship, and its $500,000 bonus. New Orleans’ history for record road performances coupled with its flat course provides an ideal stage for Wanjiru to assault his own world record.

“Attracting the likes of Sammy Wanjiru to New Orleans was always our goal at the Competitor Group, and it shows our commitment to attracting the biggest names in the world of running,” said Matt Turnbull, Elite Athlete Coordinator. “We’re excited to have the world record holder and Olympic Gold medalist on the start line next month. We are still working hard and hope to bring in more big names and to challenge Sammy over the half-marathon distance.”
It was originally planned for Wanjiru to face American superstar Ryan Hall over the 13.1-mile course, but Hall has unfortunately been forced to pull out of the head-to-head encounter. He recently finished second at the P.F. Chang’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Arizona ½ Marathon in 64:08.
“We are obviously disappointed to lose Ryan Hall from the field,” added Turnbull, who had hoped to pair the American and World Record holders in New Orleans. “We respect his decision to focus on getting himself in shape for the Boston Marathon. His disappointment was obvious to see with how things went in Arizona, and so we wish him well over the next few months.”

Speed Training For Beginners
You don’t have to run fast in training–unless you want to run faster in races.
Written by: Mario Fraioli
If you’re a new runner and you’ve recently caught the racing bug, finishing a 5K is likely no longer an issue; finishing it faster is the new challenge. Time to add speed work to your training.
As a new runner, you’re probably running over the same roads or on the same treadmill at the same speed every day. You’re using the same muscles in the same manner every time you lace up your sneaks. Then, when it comes time to race, you find yourself stuck in second gear from start to finish. In order to shift into overdrive, you need to give your muscles some new stimulation.In particular, you want to add strides, fartlek runs, and track work to your program. Here’s how.
Strides
When introducing speed work into a training program, it’s important to do so safely. Running faster will force you to break out of your comfort zone and start recruiting your previously unused fast-twitch muscle fibers. Doing too much, too soon, however, will result in injury, so it’s important to sprinkle in speed work in small doses.
Strides are an easy and effective way to gently fire up those fast-twitch muscle fibers that will power your future speed workouts. So, how do you do them?
After one or two of your regular old runs during the week, find a flat stretch of road and accelerate for 10-15 seconds. Once you approach top speed, gradually decelerate back down to a jog. Repeat four to six times and take a minute or so between repeats to catch your breath and get ready to go again. Remember, these aren’t all-out sprints but short accelerations. Focus on running relaxed with fluid form: get up on your toes and lift your knees a little more than you ordinarily would while covering ground quickly and comfortably.
In the beginning, a set of four to six strides two to three times a week after your regular runs is plenty. As your training progresses, strides will become something of a speed maintenance session, as well as serve as part of a warm-up routine for some of the more advanced speed workouts described below.
Fartlek
Once you’ve made strides a regular part of your training regimen, you’ll be ready to start stepping up the speed work ladder. Fartlek – Swedish for “speed play” – is a great way to get your wheels spinning. This type of speed workout can be done on the roads, trails or treadmill and all you’ll need is a little imagination or a reliable watch.
Essentially, fartlek is a series of faster pickups with a recovery interval in between. The length and speed of the pickups, as well as the recovery intervals, is totally up to you. When out on the roads or trails, after an easy warm-up jog of a mile or two, find an object off in the near distance, be it a tree, rock or telephone pole, and run to it at a pace faster than you ordinarily would. Once you reach your destination or start feeling fatigued, jog gently or even walk until you’re feeling recovered and then repeat the process all the way home.
If you prefer a little more structure in your speed play or are tied to the treadmill, set your watch so your pickups are of a predetermined duration, whether it’s 30 seconds, 10 minutes or anything in between. Use the shorter pickups to practice sprinting and utilize the longer intervals to run strong at a steady pace you hope to maintain in a race. A mix of short, fast running and longer, steady stretches will tap into your anaerobic system and increase your aerobic capacity, thus improving your ability to maintain a faster pace. Try to perform a fartlek workout once a week and allow yourself a few days of easy running or rest afterward to ensure you recover completely.
Track Workouts
When most new runners think of speed work they immediately think of gut-wrenching laps around a track. This misrepresentation of the truth behind track workouts often prevents a lot of runners from deviating from the safety of their regular routine.
Regardless of your ability level, this shouldn’t be the case. Track work in the form of interval training is one of the most precise ways to keep your speedometer in check on race day. Similar to fartlek training in that bouts of faster running are separated by recovery intervals, track training will better allow you to keep a close eye on your pace and give you an accurate idea of what you’ll be capable of on race day.
Introduce track workouts into your training schedule only after strides have become part of your regular routine and you’ve had some fun with a few fartlek workouts. When setting out to do a track workout, warm up with a mile or two of easy jogging and then perform a set of four to six strides in order to get your fast-twitch muscle fibers ready to do some work. As for the workout itself, aim for two to three miles’ worth of intervals ranging from 200 meters (1/2 a lap of the track) to one mile (four laps) and run them at your goal 5K race pace or even a few seconds per mile faster. For recovery, jog or walk for half the duration of the faster interval before starting the next one.
So, for example, if your goal race pace for 5K is 8:00 per mile, a sample track workout would be to run one mile at your goal pace of 8:00 and follow that that with 4:00 of slow jogging or walking for recovery. Then run 2 x 800 meters at 3:55, or 10 seconds per mile faster than your goal race pace, and follow each of those intervals with about 2:00 of walking or jogging. Finish fast with 2 x 400 meters in 1:55 with about a minute recovery in between and cool down with a mile or two of jogging afterward. You should finish the workout feeling pleasantly tired and not absolutely annihilated.
Track workouts are very demanding on the body, so be sure to treat them with the respect they deserve – performing them once a week or even every other week is plenty, especially if you’re racing regularly. And as with any other type of hard session, recovery is key, so be sure to run easy or rest in the days following a track workout.

Top Indoor Workouts To Improve Your Running This Winter
Over the past few days we’ve presented a series of indoor workouts aimed at improving your swim, bike and run during the winter months. In the final article we’ll focus on three key workouts to improve your run.
Written by: Matt Fitzgerald and Brad Culp
Sprinkle these three workouts throughout your indoor training program this winter to become a better runner come spring:
There’s nothing wrong with doing steady, moderate-intensity base runs on a treadmill, and in fact if you run indoors frequently over the winter, most of those runs should take this form. But you’ll also want to mix in some more interesting workouts, such as these three.
Steep Uphill Walk
In an interesting study, researchers placed subjects on a treadmill and asked them to walk or run and then gradually increased the incline. They found that at very steep inclines, the biomechanics of walking and running become indistinguishable. Essentially, walking at high intensity on a steep gradient is running, except that the impact forces are much lower than they are in level-ground running. For this reason, steep uphill walking makes a great recovery run. By walking for 20 to 40 minutes at a comfortable intensity on a 12-15 percent treadmill gradient, you get neuromuscular running practice without much impact, so that your muscles and joins can recover from previous running. Try it.
Marathon-Pace Run
Runners and triathletes are often taught to obey the “hard-easy rule” in training. This rule stipulates that run workouts should either be very hard (say, 5 x 1000m at 5K race pace with 2:00 jog recoveries) or very easy (say, six miles at a pace that allows you to hold a normal conversation without getting winded). It’s true that this rule is helpful to the many runners and triathletes who, without it, fall into the trap of monotonous gray-zone training, where they feel compelled to make every run count, so they never go easy—yet precisely because they never go easy, they are also never able to go very hard.
But there is a place for moderately hard workouts, and the marathon-pace run is a good one. Warm up with one mile of easy jogging and then run anywhere from four to 12 miles (depending on where you are in the training process) at your ideal marathon pace. Doing this workout on a treadmill enables you to lock right on to that pace and stay there.
VO2max Test
The workout format the exercise physiologists commonly use to determine VO2max is also useful as a powerful (if painful) fitness-boosting workout. Start by hopping on the treadmill and running easy for five to 10 minutes. Next, increase the belt speed by 0.5 mph and run for one minute at that speed. Now increase the belt speed by another 0.5 mph, hold the new speed for another minute, and continue in this fashion until you feel unable to run any faster. Reduce the belt speed and cool down. Note the maximum speed you attained and try to beat it when you repeat the workout in three or four weeks.

Oregon Men Up To Second In Current NCAA Track And Field Rankings
Florida State men and Texas A&M women continue hold at top.
In the most recently NCAA track and field power rankings, the men of Florida State and women of Texas A&M held strong to their top spots from the pre-season. This week’s biggest mover was the Oregon men moving to number two in the overall standings. On the women’s side BYU jumped two places to land take possession of third in the rankings. Most teams were idle this week, causing many top teams to lose some points to more active, albeit inferior, teams. Below are the top-10 rankings for week one:
