RACE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
WV marathon ready to roll

IT’S TIME to dust off your run-
ners and break into the rigors of
training once again for West Van-
couver’s fifth annual Half Mara-
thon on June 4.

By ELIZABETH COLLINGS
News Reporier

For the second year the race,
organized by the Vancouver

‘alcons Athletic Ctub, includes the
less arduous 5-kilometre race — a
flat course in which participants
can walk or run.

A wide range of athletes are ex-
pected to turn out — everyone
from prize winning marathoners to
families out for some fun with the
kids. The races have age categories
from 18 and under to 70 plus so
runners of all ages can join in.

Mect director John Hill says the

Szfe run

THE FOLLOWING tips on
ing for the June 4 West
Vancouver Half Marathon were
prepared by Merina Farrell and
Molly Garnes of the YMCA.
Carmen Tenge, nutritionist and
co-owner of Personal Best Fitness,
contributed the nutrition questions
and answers.
© Prepare for the commitment;
focus on your goal but don’t lose
sight of the fun element.
© Joining a club can provide you
with both a safe and. enjoyable
program and invaluable team sup-
port. .
© Your training program should be
long and slow with no more than
five per cent increase in training
distance per week to avoid injury.
@ Untrained runners should
prepare for eight months of train-
ing versus a minimum of 20 weeks
for trained runners.
® Each day of running should be
followed by a day of rest to allow
for muscle and bone repair. _
© Don’t “run through” injuries or
,discomfort; early detection can
minimize time off.

shorter course was started to en-
courage the spouses of racers to
get involved, rather than watch
from the sidelines,

Recent years have seen as many
as 600 people run the course with
Many more spectators cheering
them on. The course record for the
half marathon is held by John
Strickland with a time of 1:09, and
for the 5-kilometre race, 15:09,
held by Mike King.

Starting time for both races is 8
a.m., on Sunday, June 4. The
shorter race starts at the Ambleside
concession stand and the half
marathon starts at the lagoon in
Ambleside park.

As in previous years, the half
marathon will be a double-loop
course which follows the water
west along the seawall and

Bellevue until 31st, where runners
turn at the train trestle to continue
back to Park Royal along Marine
Drive and Bellevue.

The second loop takes runners
behind Park Royal, along
Capilano River and back into
Ambleside to repeat the first half
of the course.

The first male and female to
cross the finish line of each race
will win AIR B.C. tickets to any
destination in B.C., Alberta and
the Yukon. Winners of the grand
draw wiil win a mountain bike and
a Gore-lite track suit.

Registration fee is $15, or, for
$19, entrants will also receive a
pair of black lycra shorts. Entry
forms can be picked up at the West
Vancouver Recreation Centre and
local sporting good stores.

means preparation

* Stick to your training schedule.
Many injuries happen by going
that ‘‘extra one or two miles’’
when you’re feeling good.

® Good running shoes are essen-
tial, Go to a reliable trained
salesperson to find a shoe that fits
your feet and your training needs.
Don’t skimp in this department.
Vary your routes and training
times to decrease boredom. Runn-
ing with a companion is also great
motivation.

® You do not need to consume
Gatorade-type drinks to replace
electrolytes such as sodium and
potassium that aro lost in sweat.

During exercise, you lose pro-
portionately more water than you
do electrolytes, so that the concen-
tration of electrolytes actually in-
creases in your body. Your first
need is fluid. Electrolytes can be
replaced after you exercise.

A large glass of orange juice
replaces all the potassium you
might have lost during a mara-
thea,
© Water requirements:

Before activity: Make sure you

vee.

ee a ae Lal oe

have been drinking plenty of water
so that you are not dehydrated be-
fore you begin your event.

During activity: 200 ml every 20
minutes.

After activity: One litre of water
for every one kg loss of body
weight.

© Should I be consuming a high

protein diet? _
There is no ‘‘competitive advan-

tage’ to eating a high-protein diet
since excess protein does not get
stored in the body as muscle.

© Should I eat just before competi-
tion?

No foods, not even high-car-
bohydrate foods, should be eaten
an hour or less before competition.

If you compete with food in
your stomach, you may get an
upset stomach.

Eating high-sugar foods, such as
candy and soft drinks, may also
hurt your performance by produc-
ing low blood sugar. The oaly
thing you should take before com-
petition is plenty of plain, cool
water so you don’ | overheat.
