I spent a weekend in Colorado Springs this month with our event director, Thys (pronounced like “rice”—only faster). We were attending a USAT Race Director Symposium, and after a few too many hours in conference rooms we headed out for an afternoon run. We made our way over to an unofficial trail that runs up the Mt. Manitou Springs Incline—an old incline railway that has been turned into a trail that climbs 2,100 vertical feet in the distance of a mile.
The view from the bottom was daunting, but at least you could see the top (so we thought). We headed up and I quickly realized this was going to be not a run, but a hike—and a grueling one at that. At 8,000 feet the air felt so thin in my not-yet-acclimatized lungs that the pain of the effort felt like I had a piano on my chest. A distance that normally would take less than 8 minutes took 45 and left everything I had along the rocks and shattered railway.

If you’ve been putting off running because you think it’s hard on your joints, you’ve got one less excuse. According to the September 2009 issue of Harvard Men’s Health Watch, the famed Framingham study conducted between 1993 and 2005 found no link between exercise and arthritis of the knee. In fact, the most active people in this study were shown to have the same risk of arthritis as the least active. A separate Australian study went one step further to prove that people who performed the most vigorous weight-bearing exercise had the thickest, healthiest knee cartilage. In 2008, another study, which compared runners to non-runners, found little evidence that exercise causes arthritis. So what are you waiting for? Lace up those sneakers!

Each month, Endurance Magazine Online will feature a review of new shoes, currently available at many specialty retailers throughout the U.S. Nearly every model can be found at these specialty running stores, but more importantly, you'll find the people that know running and can help you find the shoe that will best meet your individual needs based on foot type, running style, mileage and where you like to run. Use this information as an appetizer, but for the main course, be sure and visit your local specialty running store since they are the ones that can truly satisfy your craving for the right shoes you can use. This week, we feature the K-Swiss miSOUL Tech Run ONe:

Our 2010 Event Guide is your road map for the upcoming season. From walks to ultramarathons to iron-distance triathlons and open water swims, we have packed more than 800 events into the current 2010 Endurance Magazine event guide. We thank all of those race directors who were able to submit their events to SPORToften.com to be listed in this guide. Not all events for 2010 are listed, as many race dates were still to be determined when we went to press with the print issue. Remember to watch for newly added events as well as possible date or location changes in upcoming issues of Endurance Magazine and at our event registration site SPORToften.com - the premiere regional event community resource.
