WE GIVE YOU SOMETHING GOOD TO READ

The 100th issue of the "Run The Planet Newsletter" is approaching fast. We are already working on the June issue that will celebrate this achievement. In the meantime, let us toast one month in advance to welcome runners visiting our website from Angola, Benin and Honduras. No runner in the past eight years has ever connected from these exotic nations in Africa and Central America, and it makes us proud to see that Run The Planet is the portal for a truly worldwide running community. The largest on the Internet, that is.

But as if that was not enough, the British Indian Ocean Territory opened up this month with course descriptions. It is another step, one of the few left, to complete a virtual running map of the whole world, a dream that we have been pursuing since we first launched Run The Planet in 1996. We are still searching for information on Algeria, Benin, Chad, Guinea, Western Sahara, Antigua & Barbuda, and Syria to give you the ultimate on-line information database on where to run in every single nation of the world. And at the same time we are also searching for contacts in far away islands, to include these small remote locations to the ones already available to every runner.

Talking about small remote locations, the British Indian Ocean Territory added this month comes with a great interview of Krishna Jackson, posted in our Planeteer Spotlight webpage. "The island isn't very big, only about 36 miles from one tip of its unique horseshoe shape to the other" says Krishna. "We only use about a third of it anyway, the rest is protected wildlife habitat. There's a paved running path that's marked every quarter mile for several miles and there are lots of trails but you run the risk of tripping over coconuts or coconut crabs the size of footballs". Who wouldn't want to run in such a paradise?

Other additions to the website, this month include a brand new webpage titled "Run The Poster" offering you a wide collection of posters for... when you hit the wall; new cartoons in our "Rtp Jokes" webpage; new pedestrian street signs for Argentina and France in our wacky "World Crossroads" images collection.

New articles were also added to our continuously expanding library: "Get Fit with Fido" on an innovative program to train abandoned dogs; "East meets West in the running world" on incorporating the ancient wisdom of T'ai Chi into your running; "Is heel pain stopping you?" on plantar fasciitis; and finally "The problems with male pacemaking" on a practice that distorts the results of the women's races.

As usual, thank you for being part of Run The Planet and enjoy your run!

The year is really flying past. I've just gotten back from the Country Music Marathon and Half Marathon. A week or so ago I ran in my seventh Flora London Marathon. Now, it's time to start getting ready for the summer season.

If you're going to be at the Indy Mini, please stop by the booth and say "Hi". Same is true if you're going to be in San Diego for the Suzuki Rock and Roll marathon. I'll be at both expos and would love to have a chance to visit.

Make your plans right now to come to the 28th Chicago Distance Classic on August 1st. This is the Premier Penguin Event of the summer and you don't want to be left out.

WHERE TO RUN IN THE WORLD

Description of the month - Vailoatai (American Samoa)
By Mona - Starting at the junction between the villages of Leone and Vailoatai, you run through the village of Vailoatai. This is a flat course with only a small hill at the end. The village has well paved roads, but no sidewalks. You have reached the end of the village when you reach the cliffside graves and the run itself will end when you reach Sliding Rock at the bottom of the small hill there. You will know you have reached the end when you come across a huge fallen tree that blocks the path into Sliding Rock. Throughout the run, you can hear the relaxing sounds of the waves crashing on the volcanic rocks surrounding the western side of the village. This is a scenic run where you will find well tended lawns, tropical plants and interesting Falle's scattered throughout the village. The end of the run is the most scenic with the actual view of the ocean and waves. If you like watching the sunsets, this village has the most beautiful sunsets I have seen on the island of Tutuila, in the American Samoa. The sunsets are very clear and vibrant. Once you reach the end of the run, take a relaxing detour to Sliding Rock and watch the sunset or even just simply watch the waves crashing. You could also cool down by taking a dip in the shallow pools at the entrance to the rocks. Be very careful about where you take a dip as the waves make the waters very rough. Also, if running at sundown, be aware of the prayer hour between 6 and 7 pm and do not be caught detouring into the smaller roads throughout the village (Sliding Rock does not count). The village bells will be ringing during the prayer hour and the islanders are very particular about people showing respect for that part of their culture. Fa'a Samoa.

• IAAF drastically skew their road rankings
The IAAF have once again shown how little they understand road racing. Their road ranking system is based on times and they obviously have scoring tables that allow them to assign points to a runner based on their time. However, unlike distance running on tracks, distance performances on road courses can be wind-aided, downhill, or just plain short. When the IAAF chose to include times from a notably downhill and notoriously fast course such as... read more online in the May 2004 issue

RUN THE PLANET MAIL

While you were running did you ever have a question? Did you ever have an opinion about something and ask yourself "Is it just me?"? Did you ever come up with a great idea and wonder if you could just tell everyone the world would be a better place? Did you ever have a revelation and want to share it with others? Well now is your chance to address any one of these question, and basically anything else you come up with while you are running. To hear an opinion, or run an idea past someone. Visit the "Rtp Mail" webpage to receive an answer to your running related questions or to read an opinion about your running thoughts. Here are the last three question asked:

Am I penalized for being left-footed? - It seems to me that during my last road race the runners who beat me to the finish all pushed off on their right foot. I'm left-footed and feel that I'm being penalized! Does the International Federation recognize right- and left-handed divisions for athletes as they do age, gender and weight groups? Do any of the major race organizations have policies to ensure equality between right- and left-handed runners? - Lefty the Southpaw

Why is it that I run faster on my treadmill than I do when I run outside? - Why is it that I run faster on my treadmill than I do when I run outside? I thought this was due to the flat and even surface of the treadmill track, but my treadmill has features which change the tension, speed and incline of the track. I run much slower at the local high school track than I do on my treadmill. Why is this? - Running in Circles

How many calories are burned while running in a dream? - Last night I dreamt that I participated in a trail race. I was running on a very tough and steep trail. It was such a long and demanding event that I woke up drenched in a pool of sweat! I'd like to consider this dream as a cross training session and want to add it as an entry in my running log. How many calories are burned while running in a dream? - Dream Weaver

ChiRunning, by Danny Dreyer with Katherine Dreyer, paperback, 236 pages, Fireside (2004), ISBN: 074325144X

Danny Dreyer is the creator of "ChiRunning", a revolutionary concept that blends the subtle inner focuses of T'ai Chi with running to obtain a low-impact athletic experience. It is based on his study of T'ai Chi with Master Zhu Xilin and internationally renowned Master George Xu, and his thirty years of running experience. Ancient wisdom with modern physics are combined to transform your running tecnique, to learn to run using your highly efficient core muscles while relaxing the rest of your body, allowing gravity to do the work instead of your legs. All the benefits of this new form of running are now available in Dreyer's first book "ChiRunning" which offers a revolutionary approach to effortless, injury-free running. Both the beginner and the competitive runner will be able to increase speed with less perceived effort, experience reduced recovery time and enjoy a smooth, efficient running form. Toby Tanser, sub 2:20 marathoner, author, coach, and member of the New York Road Runners Board of Directors, talks about Dreyer's book as "The most exciting and revolutionary book to hit the running community this decade". And continues: "After years and years of plowing through books, as an author and sports writer, I am rarely jolted by today's sports literature. The same theories, regurgitated advice, and unexplained methodology make for dull reading. Scanning Dreyer's work I was captivated, and re-reading the book I was thoroughly entranced, by the vast wealth of information packed into the 200-pages. On every single page I was making notes of matters 'crucial to improving my running'. The easy going text has clear explanations and visuals that will have you jumping from your seat to discover 'secrets' that will, I believe, perfect and enrich your running experience. I was shocked reading the book, it was color to a black and white library - and believe me I have read at least one thousand running books in the last few years alone. This is my first positive review. I absolutely loved the book. This would be my Desert Island choice running book". Danny Dreyer has been a running coach for eighteen years. He has taught thousands of people the "ChiRunning" technique. He is a popular speaker and teacher for training groups such as the "San Francisco Marathon", the "Aids Marathon", Team in Training, U.S.A. Fit and many others. He publishes a monthly "ChiRunning" e-mail newsletter, and has been published in "Running Times", "Runner's World" and other running journals. Dreyer is an accomplished ultramarathon runner and has raced every distance from ten kilometers to one hundred miles. In addition to teaching running classes Dreyer is also a personal coach. This differs from a running coaching in that he works with people to help them set and accomplish their personal goals, solve problems, and generally discover increased fulfillment and balance in their everyday lives. He has lived a lifestyle steeped in holistic living, meditation, and personal wellness for over thirty years. Healthy eating, physical exercise and rejuvenating activities are mainstays in his life and the foundation of what he teaches.

RTP MOVIE

 Visit the "Rtp Movie" webpage for running, walking, and hiking related movies, videoclips and an exhaustive movie encyclopedia

This is one of the instructional videos that Men's Track & Field Coach Bill Dellinger produced at the University of Oregon in 1995. This 12 part series that is entitled "Bill Dellinger's Track & Field Fundamentals" has four tapes dedicated to improving running performance (the rest are throwing and jumping focused). Coach Dellinger is the host of this distance tape and shares his experience as both a coach and Olympic medalist in the 5000 meters to further aid the development of middle and long distance runners. A variety of competition footage is provided by Prime Sports Northwest and collegiate level runners can be seen training and racing on the track as well as in cross country conditions. The focus during the 45 minute presentation is on five primary principles: moderation, progression, adaptation, variation, and callousing. Moderation is the ability to reach the big meets healthy and injury free. Rudy Chapa and Alberto Salazar are used as examples to contrast mileage changes due to running technique. It is better to enter the championship undertrained than overtrained. Progression: during this five minute discussion charts are used of Matt Davis' goal of running 13:30 for 5000 meters. By adjusting the date and goal paces, workouts can be tailored for each athlete. Charting progress and changing intervals are the guides to each workout. Steve Prefontaine is used as an example of adjusting goals. Adaptation is described as the "art of coaching". By allowing athletes to succeed, whatever the ircumstances, then you will find that "success breeds success". Coach Dellinger reveals personal examples from his training as well as adaptation used leading to a Salazar 10k record attempt. Variation: this section is extensive, lasting 15 minutes, and goes into detailed explanations of seven types of variation: intervals, repetitions, fartlek (both unsteady type, Holmer; and steady type, Lydiard), tempo runs, circuit training, hill running, and simulations (cross country starts and finish, 40/30 drills on the track). Callousing: the basic premise here is that an athlete should not try to do anything in competition that they have not done in training. Examples of running up and down hills and using uneven pacing are illustrated. This program ends with specific examples of running patterns (21 day cycles at three stages of training), insights into running technique, and program development, including Summer running. If you are a coach that has been looking for other options than just sending your distance runners out for solitary runs then this video may be the answer you have been looking for. Your athletes will welcome the extra attention to detail and their performances will encourage them to strive for the next level of achievement. Some quotes from Bill Dellinger: "Having been involved with track over the past 30 years from the high school level, junior college level, and collegiate level, I think really one of the most neglected areas of track and field is with the distance runner", "Give the runners variation; you will find it to be more successful", "One of the things that I have learned over the years is that you cannot instill desire into individuals: what you want to do is present a program that is based on good sound solid principles as a foundation, and this is the type of goal you should have for your program".
