paid off. A milestone was reached

As the jogging gave way to competi

most new joggers enter the two mile

Connie Lyke broke open a close race
with a strong last half mile to capture
top honors in a TRRC Women's Two-
' Mile Race held at Mohansic State Park
on August 1.
Lyke led throughout being trailed by
Susan Sterngold and Jeannie Arnett at
the halfway mark. Arnett move<J into
second place and dosed to within ten
yards of Lyke, but the Carmelite run
ner poured it on to win going away.
Sterngold nished third.

To Load or Not to Load,
That is the Question
As a teenage fanatic of track and
cross country, 1 had a very good and
dear friend who was the best road run
ner in Scotland for a number of years.
His races ranged from 10 to 20 miles.
Hi s i ni t i al at t empt at a marat hon
came in the Scottish championships.
At the twenty-two mile mark he was
ahead by over ve minutes and feeling
great. He never nished. I remember
him telling me later that all of a sud
den he felt bad with three miles to go.
He struggled on. but by the twenty-
f t h r r - i l e wa s s o we a k h e wa s u n a b l e
to step from the road onto the side
walk. He attributed it to poor pacing,
but in reality it was, for both of us, our
initial experience of a runner "hitting
t h e wa l l . "
Simply put, the average runner's ,
body contains 2000 glycogen (stored
cartxjhydrale) calories. When running^
a marathon the hiody uses up lOO of'
these calories for every mile run. Since
there are 26 miles to run this leaves a
deciency of 600 calories. Something
has to give.
Of course, it is much more complex
than that, ^me runners are able to
nish without exhausting their supply
of glycogen calories and, therefore,
don't experience "the wall." Others, by
running tielow their maximum race
pace, may not expend their "fuel" and
also avoid such unpleasantries.
However, in an attempt to nish the
distance and maximize performance,
mo s t r u n n e r s t a k e s o me k i n d o f
precaution. This done by adding - or
storing - as many additional glycogen-
/calories as the body will hold. (The
idea is to have surplus calories on
hand so that they will be available
when needed.)
Glycogen calories are obtained by
eating and dinking foods that are high
in carbohydrates. Italian foods, bread,
cakes, candies, fruit, pancakes, waf
es, soft drinks, beer, or if you prefer,
Brandy Alexanders, are examples of
t h e s e .
The act of adding these foods in
excess is called "loading." Cartiohy-
drate loading is accomplished by sever
al different methods. The most simple
form is merely to increase the intake
of carbohydrates to the present diet.
Some runners prefer to take a long
run (18-22 miles) the week prior to the
race - thus depleting the existing sup
ply .-. then add cartjohydrates from
. that day until race day. A third ap
proach is to limit carbohydrate intake
while continuing to train. This also de-
supply after which the run
n e r c o n
sumption.
The fourth, and most comrni^iy^^
known, is a combination of the last
two methods. In this depletion and
reloading process, the theory is
analagous to a wet sponge.
When wet. it is difcult to add more
water to the sponge. However, when
squeezed and then submerged, the
sponge absorbs more water than it
originally held. Similarly, when the
body is drained and deprived of the
much needed glycogen calories during
the depletion phase, it reacts by stor
ing the surplus calories it receives dur
ing the reloading phase.
In this approach the runner takes a
long run seven days prior to the race,
then for the next three days limits him
self to an extremely low calorie intake
(depletion), and for the last three days
reverses direction by engaging in high
carbohydrate intake (reloading).
But does i t work? And i s i t recom
mended?
Most experts agree that depletion
and reloading can be dangerous. Phy
sically it can be dangerous if done too
often, that is, if it is done for eve^
marathon and four or more are run in
a year. (For sure there are proponents
who will argue that running four or
more marathons a year is physically
dangerous regardless of depletion and
reloading.) Physcologically it can be
dangerous, al so. Avoi di ng carbohy
drates is not the most pleasant of
chores. Personally, it drove me up the
wall On the last evening of depletion 1
remember eating two steaks, then two
hamburgers without buns, and still be
ing hungry two hours later. Bob Bur-
bank's experience was to jump out of
bed at four o'clock Thursday morning
a n d d e v o u r h a l f a c h o c o l a t e c a k e
before he starved to death.

Dan Caffrey loads up on the ca-
bohydrates, but is not a devotee of
three day depletion phase, because cf
i t s adver se ef f ect s. Howi e Bashan-
similarly, avoids it like the plague, and
stresses the unfavorable psycholog'ca'
accompaniments.
With only two marathons under my
belt I am far from t>!ing a compef'rnt
authority. In both cases, I must say
that I did engage in the deplefton-
reloading phase as outlined above. In
both cases I encountered no negative
results, so, at this point, I have to as
sume it had a positive action.
Presently, I have two strong beiiefs
about marathons as they apply to me.
One has to do with mileage and train
ing, and the other has to do with load
ing. Insofar as the latter is concerned,
I wouldn't dream of running twenty-six
miles without depletion and loading.
There is no argument concerning
the depletion phase. It was the rst
time in my life I had to diet: it was ea
sier to quit smoking. Barbara Streis-
sand says. "What' s too pai nful to
rememt)er, we simply choose to for
get." To the point I like to rememoer
the pleasantries of the loading phase.
Whi l e depl eti on may be on the
devi l i sh si de, rel oadi ng i s si mpi y
heaven. Starting in with pancakes and
syrup, and continuing right through
with milk shakes, banana splits, Miiky
Ways, pineapple upside-down cake,
pasta, pastries and plenty of Pabst, I
really make a p-i-g of myself. America!
What a wonderful country.
An article in the August edition of
Runner ' s Wor l d s t at es t hat s t udi es
done in the United States and Sweden
have shown that carlx)hydrate loading
does work. Which specic method is
correct? Who knows?
I remember watching golfers holding
their putters at arms length, with one
eye closed, while lining up their putt.
What it accomplished was beyond me.
Fortunately. I had the opportunity to
ask a professional golfer. "There's
nothing specic that one can put their
nger on", he said, "but as long
the golfer thinks it's doing Wn some
good, iheo -it has its purpose!"" Like
wi se, our r unni ng gur u, Geor ge
Sheehan, M.D., tells us that the faith
alone that patients have in their doctor
or remedy can produce improvement
in 60-70 percent of ailments.
Most runners will agree to some
type of loading, but which Is for whom
is debatable. Mind over mattv may be
a more determing factor than tk bio
chemical breakdown and physiolog-:aV
application themselves.
In conclusion it would appear that
not to load is to ask for troub e.
To deplete or not to deplete? That
apparently, is the question.

Postponed for a ^eek due to in
clement weather, the club's picnic al
most met a similar fate the followine
week but the sun nally broke through
and those who did attend were well
rewarded with a grand time.
The Barclays and the Neesons start-
^ out with breakfast on the grill (after a
22 miler to get their appetite going),
hen were )oined by DC, himself, with
the appropriate liquid refreshments.
Soon the toops were pulling in and the
Pi cker t ' s
sottball equipment was well utilized
(Certain ^otsmen were humbled, but
return^ later for revenge in the tug-of-
war.) Highlights of the Softball were un-
doubtediy Kathleen Edward's two mae-
nicent blocks at home plate, and two
outstanding catches by young Tommy
Neeson, who is still learning how to
swim (inside joke).
D'Angelo.
Nault & company to shame with a scin-
tillating display in the rope contest, after
which the basketball players exhibited
their prowess.
However, high marks of the day wre
shared by Christine Barclay s clam
chowder and Frances Kehoe's soda
bread. Hopefully, a tie-breaker will de
clare a denite result at next year's pic
nic. Grand time.!!!
