KEEPING MOTIYATED-Tom Amiro
Chelmsford -- Whatever yourreason is for running, whether it
befor fun, health, or competition, youmay someday reach a point
whereyou need to renew yourmotivation. Perhaps your racetimes have
stopped dropping byIeaps and bounds, or maybe you areno longer
challenged by yourpresent variety of nuuring. When
this occurs, it is time to startworking at making running
moreinteresting.
I've found the best way tomotivate myself is by trying
toeontinually set personal records.By records I do not
necessarilymeal speed improvements. Arunning record can be
anlrthing youhave never done before during yourrunning career. For
example, oneof my recent records was sevenstraight days of no
running.
The first thing you have to do isto keep a mnning log. Without
alog book you can't tell whetheryou're doing the same old thing
ornot. You might think keeping adetailed log is the surest way
tomake your running less spontaneousand interesting. Not
so!Remember Mr. Mason's articleabout runners being such creatunesof
habit. Logless nrnners still nrnthe same routes at the same
pace,with the same people, and so on.
Once you keep track of whatyou a^re doing you can set all
sortsof records. Here's a list ofpossibilities:
I Conseeutive days with 2 ormore mns.
I Most races in a year, week,or day.
I Longest interval betweenraces, between days off.
I HighesL mileage in a singleyear, week, day, or run.
t Highest number of milesunder a certain pace (e.9.,6 minute
pace) per week,day, or run.
I Fastest time on a 20 miletraining run.
I Fastest times for clistancesfrom 100 yards to 50 miles.
I Fastest times on favoritepersonal eourses.Highest number of
runsover a eertain distanee (say15 miles) in a month, week,or
day.Most number of differentroutes run in a single week.Most
nurnber of miles onthe track, quarters, halves,miles, etc.Shortest
or longest timebetween marathons,
You don't have to set a recordintentionally. In reviewing your
logyou may discover something newand record worthy. Ab the
veryleast, you'll have lots of statisticsat the tip of your tongue
to unloadin eonversation with other numers.
If your motivation starts towane, set a new objective ar.rd
shootfor it. For awhile it will give yousomething to mn for. For
example,you eould choose to rrn a personalbest for 2 miles on the
track. TheGLRR 2-mile series, which is heldiluring the summer
months, is aperfect vehicle for helping you tomeet this
objective.
For the very seriouscompetitive nulner, motivation isno less a
concern than for a fun orhealth corscious runner,Maintaining high
internity trainingyear after year becomeswearisome. You can't just
set onegoal like "getting faster." Youcanrt just follow the "more
andmore" philosophy either. Therecomes a time when setting a
newweekly mileage record is counterproductive to better
mming.Winning the race, or beating yourarch rival, or setting a PR
timeprovides some reinforcement, but itisn't enough. The more
littleobjeetives you set and aehievealong the way, the easier it
will beto keep motivated.

PREPING FOR BOSTON
Colin Goultlson
Tradition would have us believethat in spring a young man's
fancyturns to love and the fair sex. Ifthis wdre true, then on
PatriotsDay the BAA Marathon wouldconsist of a bunch of old
galootschasing old maids down highway 16dressed in nothing more
thanbombay bloomers, cotton singlets,and old tennis shoes dragged
out ofgnanny's closet. The rest of uswould have long ago abandoned
thatuseless 26.2 mile trek for moremeaningful endeavors like
wooingfair maitlens in yonder shoppingmall.
In reality, sensibility prevails.We pursue dreams according to
ourmode of living. -We arsnot-eraz"res-*to want to talce part in up
to 2lmile rurs eaeh Sunday morning forthe so called glory of
staggeringaeross a finish line that has beencrossed, cused, or
caxessed bYhundreds before us. The marathonbecomes a very serious
business formany who seek to personally excelin competition, so
much so thateven diets and speeial trainingschedules have been
adopted.
Here is one such plar t wouldlike to share. Be wary though,
thissehedule is not for everyone. If youare aiming for the 2:40's
its asuggestion. Will Mason and TomAmiro have adaptations of
this
schedule. Will tells me hismaximum for any week is 80 milesand
that he follows the "fast onWednesday" regime. On the otherhand,
Tom prefers the 130 mile Perweek gruel and eats all Lhe
time.Whatever your training, during yourfinal week run a little
over halfyour highest mileage Per week.
As for diet, I discovered thefollowing diet in a
Monlrealnewspaper while in that city for the'82 marathon. I
performed minorsurgery on it to suit my particularhabits. The
bottom line!Experiment unlil you havesomething you think is
suecessfuland use it. If you perform badlyyou can always blame
thet'experimental" diet or the lastweek of training.

In what has become an a^reatradition for loeal runners,
thefamous "Fudgical 5K Series" ofraces has started over
irrTewksbury. Sponsored by theGLRR, these weekly 5K races areheld
every Saturday morning duringJanuary, February, and Marehregardless
of weather conditions.Each race starts at l0 a.m. fromthe enlrance
to Tewksbury HighSchool. The entry-fee is 25 cents.Now this is what
you get for thequarter: (l) ar official number (2)a police escort
(3) a flat course (4)a chalce to make the Boston Globe

is Lherace coordinator ald the godfatherof countless zlrea
mnners.
So far, I've raced in the firstfive races a-nd can give you
aninsiders view of the race. It hasdrawn an average of 65-75
mnnerswith 74 toeing the line oneSaturday. What amazed me is
therange of racing ability which isattracted to this little 5K
race.Some of the best runners in thearea (including southern
NewHampshire) have shown up for thisrace the past two weeks.
Forexample, last Saturday saw sevenrunners break 17 minutes for

.in t imes of 20-25 minutes so voucan see that there is a wide
rangeof racing ability among theparticipants.
I like the race because it servesas a good opportunity for a
speedworkout. Even though it's early inthe year, it doesn'L hurt lo
startlaying a good base for those5-milers and 10-K's lhis spring
andsummer.
Well, how about you? Will wesee you next Saturday? It sure is
alot more fun than staying insidewatching cartoons with the
