1
00:00:01,501 --> 00:00:04,004
>>All right everyone we'll 
go ahead and get started.

2
00:00:04,004 --> 00:00:05,271
We have our captains.

3
00:00:05,271 --> 00:00:06,639
Why don't the captains 
come on up here today.

4
00:00:06,639 --> 00:00:07,841
I think we actually

5
00:00:07,841 --> 00:00:08,508
may have more captains 
than participants,

6
00:00:08,508 --> 00:00:10,043
(laughing)

7
00:00:10,043 --> 00:00:11,778
but the captains,

8
00:00:11,778 --> 00:00:13,813
should be showing 
you something here.

9
00:00:13,813 --> 00:00:16,416
They're demonstrating 
that weather like this

10
00:00:16,416 --> 00:00:17,450
doesn't bother them.

11
00:00:18,318 --> 00:00:19,919
>>Why do I run?

12
00:00:19,919 --> 00:00:22,088
I think the answer to 
that's changed over time.

13
00:00:22,088 --> 00:00:24,157
In the beginning I 
ran for the challenge,

14
00:00:24,157 --> 00:00:26,159
I started in the 
Four Miler's Training

15
00:00:26,159 --> 00:00:27,694
the Women's Four 
Miler Training Program

16
00:00:27,694 --> 00:00:31,731
and then now I run more for 
community and friendship,

17
00:00:31,731 --> 00:00:32,599
to stay sane.

18
00:00:32,599 --> 00:00:33,933
>>(chuckling)

19
00:00:33,933 --> 00:00:36,136
Running is, it's so great

20
00:00:36,136 --> 00:00:39,005
and I think Mark really 
hammers it into everybody

21
00:00:39,005 --> 00:00:42,208
who has ever done 
one of his programs.

22
00:00:42,208 --> 00:00:46,446
His goal is to help people 
become life-long runners

23
00:00:46,446 --> 00:00:48,548
and he and the Track 
Club have been there,

24
00:00:48,548 --> 00:00:51,251
and have supported 
me in my goals,

25
00:00:51,251 --> 00:00:53,586
just the way that 
he's supported,

26
00:00:53,586 --> 00:00:56,389
his elite athletes 
and their goals.

27
00:00:56,389 --> 00:00:59,025
>>If you're interested 
in training for the 
Boston Marathon,

28
00:00:59,025 --> 00:01:01,761
or you just want to run a 
couple of miles every day,

29
00:01:01,761 --> 00:01:04,431
this show is especially for you.

30
00:01:04,431 --> 00:01:07,600
Join us as we catch up 
with coach Mark Lorenzoni

31
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,638
and Leah Conner, members of 
the Charlottesville Track Club.

32
00:01:11,638 --> 00:01:12,439
Come on!

33
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:14,407
(jolly music)

34
00:01:14,407 --> 00:01:15,942
>>Track Club got 
started just a few years

35
00:01:15,942 --> 00:01:19,679
before I arrived in '78 so 
they started in about '75.

36
00:01:19,679 --> 00:01:21,414
And I think it was 
just the notion

37
00:01:21,414 --> 00:01:24,517
of keeping the sport alive

38
00:01:24,517 --> 00:01:28,555
after your competitive 
time in high school

39
00:01:28,555 --> 00:01:30,023
and college had run out

40
00:01:30,023 --> 00:01:32,659
that you could 
continue to compete

41
00:01:32,659 --> 00:01:34,227
throughout your lifetime.

42
00:01:34,227 --> 00:01:36,362
But a lot of folks, never 
compete in high school.

43
00:01:36,362 --> 00:01:37,764
>>Right

44
00:01:37,764 --> 00:01:40,366
>>So the track club's mission 
in a sense has evolved

45
00:01:40,366 --> 00:01:42,168
and changed over the years 
as society has changed.

46
00:01:42,168 --> 00:01:45,338
We have people at 44 years 
old realize, "Oh my gosh,

47
00:01:45,338 --> 00:01:48,041
I'm a really good marathoner 
and I never ran in my life

48
00:01:48,041 --> 00:01:50,677
and then two years ago in the 
Boston marathon." So it's --

49
00:01:50,677 --> 00:01:52,812
>>Yeah. So Leah, 
let,s talk about

50
00:01:52,812 --> 00:01:54,747
how you got involved 
with the club

51
00:01:54,747 --> 00:01:57,517
and where you started and 
what you're doing now.

52
00:01:57,517 --> 00:01:59,786
>>Well, I joined the marathon

53
00:01:59,786 --> 00:02:01,988
and half marathon 
training program in 2007.

54
00:02:01,988 --> 00:02:03,890
I was trying to run 
my first marathon

55
00:02:03,890 --> 00:02:05,125
and I started running

56
00:02:05,125 --> 00:02:07,060
basically just to stay 
in shape and lose weight

57
00:02:07,060 --> 00:02:09,262
and realized I'm kind 
of decent at this,

58
00:02:09,262 --> 00:02:11,931
and so I got involved 
in the training program.

59
00:02:11,931 --> 00:02:14,667
and if you don't have a 
coach and a training program,

60
00:02:14,667 --> 00:02:17,070
it's very hard to go off the 
rails and do your own thing

61
00:02:17,070 --> 00:02:18,605
and think you know 
what you're doing,

62
00:02:18,605 --> 00:02:21,708
and I had some good years and 
bad years and finally in 2012,

63
00:02:21,708 --> 00:02:23,443
I qualified for Boston 
for the first time.

64
00:02:23,443 --> 00:02:27,046
>>So i think it shows a 
lot that somebody can join

65
00:02:27,046 --> 00:02:28,915
the program not having ever run,

66
00:02:28,915 --> 00:02:29,749
ever in their lives

67
00:02:29,749 --> 00:02:31,184
>>Right.

68
00:02:31,184 --> 00:02:32,652
>>Run their first marathon, 
it can not go so well,

69
00:02:32,652 --> 00:02:34,087
and with time and training

70
00:02:34,087 --> 00:02:37,323
you can end up running 
the Boston marathon.

71
00:02:37,323 --> 00:02:39,859
>>So first thing 
is perceived effort

72
00:02:39,859 --> 00:02:42,862
and it's based on 
environment, terrain

73
00:02:42,862 --> 00:02:46,366
and how you're feeling and 
your current fitness level.

74
00:02:46,366 --> 00:02:47,767
So if you are running

75
00:02:47,767 --> 00:02:50,737
and you are pushing 
it out like that

76
00:02:50,737 --> 00:02:51,804
you're going too fast.

77
00:02:51,804 --> 00:02:53,239
You need to slow it down.

78
00:02:53,239 --> 00:02:55,441
You really want to learn 
you can almost the zen

79
00:02:55,441 --> 00:02:56,843
of your breathing.

80
00:02:56,843 --> 00:02:58,711
You getting in 
touch with yourself

81
00:02:58,711 --> 00:03:00,446
and getting very 
comfortable with what

82
00:03:00,446 --> 00:03:01,881
that breathing pattern is.

83
00:03:01,881 --> 00:03:04,918
>>The best advice is 
just get into a routine.

84
00:03:04,918 --> 00:03:07,620
So you don't have to be 
fast and you don't have

85
00:03:07,620 --> 00:03:09,255
to have a lot of 
miles all the time

86
00:03:09,255 --> 00:03:12,859
but the routine of getting out 
three or four times a week,

87
00:03:12,859 --> 00:03:14,194
you just learn that 
you feel better,

88
00:03:14,194 --> 00:03:15,728
you have more energy,

89
00:03:15,728 --> 00:03:18,198
and if that's your expectation 
then it's not quite so hard

90
00:03:18,198 --> 00:03:20,366
to take that first 
step out the door.

91
00:03:20,366 --> 00:03:24,704
>>It's been since '08 that 
every Saturday morning,

92
00:03:24,704 --> 00:03:26,806
I'm running with 
the group someplace,

93
00:03:26,806 --> 00:03:30,643
and then Mark gives us his 
really great personalized plans,

94
00:03:30,643 --> 00:03:33,746
so I know how many miles 
and what kind of pace

95
00:03:33,746 --> 00:03:35,715
for the rest of the week.

96
00:03:35,715 --> 00:03:37,550
>>So let's talk about 
some of the programs

97
00:03:37,550 --> 00:03:40,119
that are provided 
through the track.

98
00:03:40,119 --> 00:03:41,588
Four Miler, Men's Four Miler.

99
00:03:41,588 --> 00:03:43,489
>>We start with the Men's Four 
Miler, Women's Four Miler,

100
00:03:43,489 --> 00:03:46,159
which are the 
pre-elementary, the start

101
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:48,728
people starting out 
having never run before.

102
00:03:48,728 --> 00:03:52,098
And then we have the 
10-Miler training program,

103
00:03:52,098 --> 00:03:54,601
so if you're coming 
off the couch and

104
00:03:54,601 --> 00:03:56,135
you're in program 
one and we start

105
00:03:56,135 --> 00:03:57,437
with what you saw this morning

106
00:03:57,437 --> 00:03:58,938
out there in the 
rain with the guys

107
00:03:58,938 --> 00:04:00,640
with the men's 
four-miler program,

108
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,142
it's pretty similar to that 
starting out program one,

109
00:04:03,142 --> 00:04:05,545
and program six is 
an advanced group,

110
00:04:05,545 --> 00:04:07,313
experienced, has already 
run the 10-miler looking

111
00:04:07,313 --> 00:04:08,781
to run a faster time.

112
00:04:08,781 --> 00:04:12,285
And then we have the one 
that Leah just talked about

113
00:04:12,285 --> 00:04:14,354
which I call kind 
of the PhD program

114
00:04:14,354 --> 00:04:16,723
and it's the marathon, 
half-marathon.

115
00:04:16,723 --> 00:04:19,359
>>Running the marathon is,

116
00:04:19,359 --> 00:04:22,228
unlike anything I'd 
ever done before.

117
00:04:22,228 --> 00:04:24,063
I think the accomplishment 
in hindsight,

118
00:04:24,063 --> 00:04:26,532
was actually getting 
to the start line.

119
00:04:26,532 --> 00:04:28,334
It's an enormous 
amount of training

120
00:04:28,334 --> 00:04:29,936
and an enormous amount of time.

121
00:04:29,936 --> 00:04:32,772
The best advice I got was 
to take it mile by mile,

122
00:04:32,772 --> 00:04:34,007
and if you do that,

123
00:04:34,007 --> 00:04:35,408
and then all of a sudden 
you're at the finish,

124
00:04:35,408 --> 00:04:36,909
and it's just an 
incredible feeling

125
00:04:36,909 --> 00:04:38,378
to cross that finish line.

126
00:04:38,378 --> 00:04:42,148
>>One of the really nice things 
about our Saturday runs is,

127
00:04:42,148 --> 00:04:43,883
I'm often at the 
back of the pack,

128
00:04:43,883 --> 00:04:47,086
I'm not up with 
the elite runners,

129
00:04:47,086 --> 00:04:51,691
but I'm always welcome no matter 
how fast or how slow I run.

130
00:04:51,691 --> 00:04:53,159
>>I've been a member,

131
00:04:53,159 --> 00:04:55,194
I've done the 10-miler 
training program,

132
00:04:55,194 --> 00:04:57,430
I've been a captain for the 
10-miler training program,

133
00:04:57,430 --> 00:04:59,699
I volunteer for packet pickup,

134
00:04:59,699 --> 00:05:02,435
I run all the races 
and it's a great way

135
00:05:02,435 --> 00:05:07,073
to just sort of drop yourself 
into an immediate friendship.

136
00:05:07,073 --> 00:05:09,909
>>Running and walking 
are two great activities

137
00:05:09,909 --> 00:05:11,277
where you can converse.

138
00:05:11,277 --> 00:05:12,945
>>See and that's 
when I was younger'

139
00:05:12,945 --> 00:05:14,914
I was a runner, when 
I was in high school

140
00:05:14,914 --> 00:05:16,582
and I was a good runner,

141
00:05:16,582 --> 00:05:18,785
but it was because 
we could talk.

142
00:05:18,785 --> 00:05:20,586
Maybe that's why I'm not 
a good runner anymore.

143
00:05:20,586 --> 00:05:22,855
I've got no one to talk 
to. (people laughing)

144
00:05:22,855 --> 00:05:25,091
>>And that's the thing. We 
have people of all abilities

145
00:05:25,091 --> 00:05:27,894
and so there are people 
that I might run with

146
00:05:27,894 --> 00:05:29,162
to train with but there are also

147
00:05:29,162 --> 00:05:31,030
the people who I've 
met through running

148
00:05:31,030 --> 00:05:33,433
that are slower 
or faster than me

149
00:05:33,433 --> 00:05:34,834
that i still am friends with

150
00:05:34,834 --> 00:05:37,337
because we have that 
common interest in running.

151
00:05:37,337 --> 00:05:40,206
>>And tell Terri some of 
where those friendships

152
00:05:40,206 --> 00:05:42,275
form is through 
volunteering together.

153
00:05:42,275 --> 00:05:45,144
>>Like I said it's a co-op, 
because when you give in

154
00:05:45,144 --> 00:05:46,312
and you take out.

155
00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:47,780
>>And you're helping 
other runners,

156
00:05:47,780 --> 00:05:49,282
you're helping a good course,

157
00:05:49,282 --> 00:05:51,017
and it's a great way to 
meet people and have fun.

158
00:05:51,017 --> 00:05:53,152
Everybody who volunteers at any

159
00:05:53,152 --> 00:05:56,923
of the races I'm involved 
with says how much fun it was.

160
00:05:56,923 --> 00:05:58,324
>>Name some of these races

161
00:05:58,324 --> 00:06:00,793
and some of the causes 
that are benefitting.

162
00:06:00,793 --> 00:06:01,994
>>We are used to our big ones,

163
00:06:01,994 --> 00:06:03,496
the 10-miler and the 4-miler,

164
00:06:03,496 --> 00:06:05,098
and the 4-miler is a locked 
in course every year,

165
00:06:05,098 --> 00:06:07,033
it's the UVA Breast Care Center.

166
00:06:07,033 --> 00:06:11,137
It's anywhere from 320 
to 370,000 dollars.

167
00:06:11,137 --> 00:06:12,605
The Charlottesville 
10-miler changes

168
00:06:12,605 --> 00:06:15,341
its recipient every 
year, this year it's Sara

169
00:06:15,341 --> 00:06:16,876
and last year it was Maca,

170
00:06:16,876 --> 00:06:18,611
Virginia Institute for Autism.

171
00:06:18,611 --> 00:06:19,846
>>Yeah.

172
00:06:19,846 --> 00:06:20,813
>>The new year's day 
race raises money for

173
00:06:20,813 --> 00:06:22,048
the boys and girls club

174
00:06:22,048 --> 00:06:24,650
that starts off the 
year in a good place.

175
00:06:24,650 --> 00:06:27,220
>>It's interesting the track 
club is in the background.

176
00:06:27,220 --> 00:06:28,354
There's only couple of events

177
00:06:28,354 --> 00:06:29,822
that we really pound our chest,

178
00:06:29,822 --> 00:06:30,990
but something like 
the wounded warrior

179
00:06:30,990 --> 00:06:32,959
we're there complete 
support system

180
00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:34,193
but behind the scenes,

181
00:06:34,193 --> 00:06:36,496
and we do get a really 
big thrill out of again,

182
00:06:36,496 --> 00:06:38,798
entertaining and raising money.

183
00:06:38,798 --> 00:06:40,433
And most people will admit,

184
00:06:40,433 --> 00:06:42,101
they love to go 
out and footrace.

185
00:06:42,101 --> 00:06:44,971
It's social, it's 
active, it's competitive

186
00:06:44,971 --> 00:06:47,306
and they continue that ongoing

187
00:06:47,306 --> 00:06:51,210
competitive career 
beyond high school.

188
00:06:51,210 --> 00:06:53,613
>>So, but then you 
also have track meets.

189
00:06:53,613 --> 00:06:55,948
>>Yes, my favorite 
event of the year is

190
00:06:55,948 --> 00:06:58,050
that all-comers 
summer track meets,

191
00:06:58,050 --> 00:07:01,254
but it's at the UVA track 
and we get kids of all ages

192
00:07:01,254 --> 00:07:03,856
and these kids are so excited 
to be out on the track

193
00:07:03,856 --> 00:07:05,525
and they get huge 
smiles on their faces

194
00:07:05,525 --> 00:07:07,927
and then you get some 
pretty serious adult runners

195
00:07:07,927 --> 00:07:10,797
that are trying 
to run a fast mile

196
00:07:10,797 --> 00:07:13,032
or we also have the 5K option.

197
00:07:13,032 --> 00:07:14,200
>>We only charge 
a dollar or two.

198
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,668
>>And for like a 
dollar or two dollars

199
00:07:15,668 --> 00:07:17,036
you can run as many 
events as you want.

200
00:07:17,036 --> 00:07:19,038
All the kids get these ribbons.

201
00:07:19,038 --> 00:07:21,574
>>That is the 
epicenter, ground zero

202
00:07:21,574 --> 00:07:22,742
of the Charlottesville 
Track Club.

203
00:07:22,742 --> 00:07:24,043
So the very first event

204
00:07:24,043 --> 00:07:25,378
the Charlottesville 
Track Club put on

205
00:07:25,378 --> 00:07:26,612
was those all-comers meets,

206
00:07:26,612 --> 00:07:28,714
and I would argue those 
meets haven't changed

207
00:07:29,982 --> 00:07:30,950
they are mantra.

208
00:07:30,950 --> 00:07:32,218
>>You're inspiring young people

209
00:07:32,218 --> 00:07:35,054
who might one day 
be olympic runners

210
00:07:35,054 --> 00:07:37,190
or just really healthy people.

211
00:07:37,190 --> 00:07:38,391
>>At least a hundred 
kids every meet.

212
00:07:38,391 --> 00:07:40,660
>>And you have people 
who came as a kid

213
00:07:40,660 --> 00:07:42,528
and then they bring their kids.

214
00:07:43,396 --> 00:07:45,998
>>And the UVA track is amazing.

215
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,634
>>That relationship 
with the university

216
00:07:48,634 --> 00:07:50,436
has been really special 
and somewhat unique.

217
00:07:50,436 --> 00:07:52,905
That's the only 
athletic facility still 
open to the public.

218
00:07:52,905 --> 00:07:54,640
We're lucky to have it.

219
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:59,245
That's a seven million dollar 
olympic caliber facility.

220
00:07:59,245 --> 00:08:01,848
>>I've been running 
exactly one week.

221
00:08:01,848 --> 00:08:03,049
So far so good.

222
00:08:03,049 --> 00:08:06,285
I've ran four or 
five times this week

223
00:08:06,285 --> 00:08:08,421
and today my first mile,

224
00:08:08,421 --> 00:08:11,324
and so I'm pretty 
proud of myself.

225
00:08:11,324 --> 00:08:14,827
I can understand the 
addiction to running

226
00:08:14,827 --> 00:08:16,496
and the pleasure that 
people get out of it.

227
00:08:16,496 --> 00:08:19,198
>>I think the best part of 
the training program is just

228
00:08:19,198 --> 00:08:22,468
you're around other 
people starting out so

229
00:08:22,468 --> 00:08:24,904
the day you don't really 
feel like doing it,

230
00:08:24,904 --> 00:08:26,339
there's a little 
bit of motivation

231
00:08:26,339 --> 00:08:28,407
and then it's really 
easy to see the progress.

232
00:08:28,407 --> 00:08:30,276
These guys who 
started last week.

233
00:08:30,276 --> 00:08:32,478
We walked and ran a half mile

234
00:08:32,478 --> 00:08:35,581
and by early November they'll 
be ready to run four miles

235
00:08:35,581 --> 00:08:37,183
and that's quite 
an accomplishment.

236
00:08:37,183 --> 00:08:40,453
>>As a coach, what's the 
most important thing?

237
00:08:40,453 --> 00:08:43,356
>>For me the relationship 
with the athlete.

238
00:08:43,356 --> 00:08:44,824
I say this over and over again.

239
00:08:44,824 --> 00:08:46,759
Communication between the 
coach and the athlete,

240
00:08:46,759 --> 00:08:50,997
and so if you have an achilles 
issue on a Monday morning,

241
00:08:50,997 --> 00:08:53,332
I as your coach 
I can't help you,

242
00:08:53,332 --> 00:08:55,535
if you don't tell me 
about it for ten days

243
00:08:55,535 --> 00:08:56,903
when now you're limping.

244
00:08:56,903 --> 00:08:59,171
So i think trusting the coach

245
00:08:59,171 --> 00:09:01,607
and having the 
open communication.

246
00:09:01,607 --> 00:09:03,009
>>Talk about some 
of the other things

247
00:09:03,009 --> 00:09:04,277
the club is involved in.

248
00:09:04,277 --> 00:09:05,912
>>We also have a 
scholarship program

249
00:09:05,912 --> 00:09:10,917
for high school students and 
we have an awards ceremony

250
00:09:12,051 --> 00:09:13,886
and a membership 
party for the people

251
00:09:13,886 --> 00:09:15,321
that are a part of the club.

252
00:09:15,321 --> 00:09:18,691
We like to recognize 
volunteers and the people

253
00:09:18,691 --> 00:09:21,527
that have given back to 
the track club because,

254
00:09:21,527 --> 00:09:22,695
that's really 
important we can't do,

255
00:09:22,695 --> 00:09:24,130
like we said, we're not paid.

256
00:09:24,130 --> 00:09:26,299
We're doing all this 
because we love the sport

257
00:09:26,299 --> 00:09:28,501
and we want to 
help other people.

258
00:09:28,501 --> 00:09:31,304
>>And we hope 
ultimately that many,

259
00:09:31,304 --> 00:09:33,639
Leah's a perfect example, of 
someone who wasn't necessarily

260
00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:35,141
a member of the 
club, got involved

261
00:09:35,141 --> 00:09:36,809
and now is probably one 
of the most active members

262
00:09:36,809 --> 00:09:39,712
of the club if not the most 
active giving back person.

263
00:09:39,712 --> 00:09:42,148
>>Yeah and so that's the 
great thing about social media

264
00:09:42,148 --> 00:09:43,883
and the internet is that

265
00:09:43,883 --> 00:09:47,520
we have over 1600 likes 
on our Facebook page now.

266
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,323
We don't have 1600 members 
but we have 1600 people

267
00:09:50,323 --> 00:09:52,425
who are interested in 
running in Charlottesville.

268
00:09:52,425 --> 00:09:53,859
That's what's important to me.

269
00:09:53,859 --> 00:09:57,129
Whether you pay your 
membership dues or not.

270
00:09:57,129 --> 00:10:00,299
If you do a race that we run, 
if you do a training program

271
00:10:00,299 --> 00:10:03,402
that we run in your mind 
you're part of our community

272
00:10:03,402 --> 00:10:05,438
and that's what I care about.

273
00:10:05,438 --> 00:10:07,139
The reason I got 
involved in helping with

274
00:10:07,139 --> 00:10:09,575
the website and all 
this other stuff is

275
00:10:09,575 --> 00:10:11,744
I would notice that the race 
results from the track meets

276
00:10:11,744 --> 00:10:13,446
aren't up yet. I wonder 
who's doing that.

277
00:10:13,446 --> 00:10:16,282
I'll do it because it's 
so important to me.

278
00:10:16,282 --> 00:10:17,883
>>If everybody was like that 
when they got frustrated

279
00:10:17,883 --> 00:10:19,285
about something in our community

280
00:10:19,285 --> 00:10:21,454
and they actually then 
did something about it,

281
00:10:21,454 --> 00:10:24,156
how different the 
world would be.

282
00:10:24,156 --> 00:10:25,992
>>You can go to the 
website, there's all kinds

283
00:10:25,992 --> 00:10:29,295
of information, you can 
find out when the races are,

284
00:10:29,295 --> 00:10:31,564
what the races are, what 
training is available.

285
00:10:31,564 --> 00:10:34,500
>>I always tell people, 
the ultimate kind of notion

286
00:10:34,500 --> 00:10:37,036
or the ultimate kind of 
label for the track club is

287
00:10:37,036 --> 00:10:39,705
we're the ultimate running 
resource within the community

288
00:10:39,705 --> 00:10:42,942
and if we're not doing that 
we're not doing a good job.

289
00:10:42,942 --> 00:10:45,077
We have talks and lectures,

290
00:10:46,145 --> 00:10:48,547
and we go from kids to masters.

291
00:10:48,547 --> 00:10:50,816
Our oldest members are 
in their mid-eighties

292
00:10:50,816 --> 00:10:53,753
and our youngest kids this 
summer were three years old,

293
00:10:53,753 --> 00:10:54,587
two years old running.

294
00:10:54,587 --> 00:10:56,088
>>That's great.

295
00:10:56,088 --> 00:10:58,858
>>It was a little more elite 
oriented back in the seventies.

296
00:10:58,858 --> 00:11:00,893
If someone was to say what's 
the biggest difference.

297
00:11:00,893 --> 00:11:04,430
Most of the membership 
back in the seventies,

298
00:11:04,430 --> 00:11:07,033
they had already 
had an accomplished 
competitive background.

299
00:11:07,033 --> 00:11:07,967
>>Right.

300
00:11:07,967 --> 00:11:09,935
>>And today the complexion

301
00:11:09,935 --> 00:11:11,404
of the club is 
dramatically different.

302
00:11:11,404 --> 00:11:14,674
We do still have that 
person but we also,

303
00:11:14,674 --> 00:11:19,111
many of our members had never 
run before in their life

304
00:11:19,111 --> 00:11:20,646
let alone years ago.

305
00:11:21,681 --> 00:11:22,815
>>It's a great...

306
00:11:22,815 --> 00:11:24,250
>>Very very welcoming 
organization.

307
00:11:24,250 --> 00:11:26,986
>>Great resource and a 
wonderful part of our community

308
00:11:26,986 --> 00:11:29,922
and I thank you all for 
spending time with me today

309
00:11:29,922 --> 00:11:31,123
especially in the rain.

310
00:11:31,123 --> 00:11:33,359
>>Thanks for taking 
the time, Terri.

311
00:11:33,359 --> 00:11:36,495
>>The hardest part about running 
is just making time for it

312
00:11:36,495 --> 00:11:40,032
and especially when 
you're slow like me

313
00:11:40,032 --> 00:11:41,767
and you're an eleven 
minute mile runner

314
00:11:41,767 --> 00:11:45,871
to go out and run ten miles 
is a big time commitment.

315
00:11:45,871 --> 00:11:48,007
You squeeze it in where 
you can and I find

316
00:11:48,007 --> 00:11:51,210
that 5:30 in the morning 
is sort of the time

317
00:11:51,210 --> 00:11:53,946
that's always available 
so it's not too bad.

318
00:11:53,946 --> 00:11:57,483
>>Running in general feels 
good. It's really addicting.

319
00:11:57,483 --> 00:11:59,618
I can't not do it.

320
00:11:59,618 --> 00:12:00,720
>>I think the weather 
sometimes is kind of

321
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,122
the thing you get to brag about.

322
00:12:03,122 --> 00:12:04,657
It's a little hard to 
get out and you get wet

323
00:12:04,657 --> 00:12:08,327
and you get cold but then you 
feel good the rest of the day.

324
00:12:08,327 --> 00:12:11,564
>>You have good form 
max, yeah. You really do.

325
00:12:11,564 --> 00:12:14,233
Slight lean forward, you're 
picking your knees up

326
00:12:14,233 --> 00:12:17,169
and you're hitting the 
arch first. That's good.

327
00:12:18,938 --> 00:12:21,507
(upbeat music)
