An update on a club friend
Just a post to share a note from Vivian to say that Jacob Berkman, Marc's son, has been running up a storm!
He is planning to run his 5th marathon on Jan. 11 at Disneyworld in Orlando hoping to BQ. He missed Boston by 5 minutes at the San Francisco marathon. Disney doesn't have those hills so he is very hopeful.
He ran the Cleveland Turkey Trot and his results were: 71st overall; 8th in 30-34; 31:46

What's Your Limit?
From our resident biologist Todd:
Here is a news article about a new biomechanical study that will interest runners. It probes the potential biomechanical limits that athletes face for improvement in running. This is just a news blurb. The actual technical article is obtainable (for free I believe) at: http://jeb.biologists.org/cgi/content/abstract/211/24/3836?ijkey=b1fd497bb1240b4ee64960a69965e50d1e661089&keytype2=tf_ipsecsha
"100m WORLD RECORD COULD
GO AS LOW AS 9.48s
2008 was a great summer for sports’ fans.
World records tumbled at the Beijing
Olympics. Usain Bolt shattered both the
100m and 200m world records, knocking
tenths of a second off each. People have
been getting faster and faster over the last
few decades, which made marathon runner
Mark Denny, from Stanford University,
wonder whether last century’s massive
increase in population could account for
these dramatic improvements. He also
wondered whether there are absolute limits
on running speeds and, if so, how close are
we to them? Suspecting that there are,
Denny decided to scrutinise the running
performances of humans and two other
famous racing species, dogs and
thoroughbred horses, to find how close
modern runners are to their species’ peak
performances (p. 3836).
Having found records dating back to the
1920s for dogs and the 19th century for
humans and thoroughbreds, Denny looked
to see whether there were any clear trends;
had any of the species’ performances
already levelled off? Plotting the annual top
running speeds for all three species over the
years, it was clear that racing horses and
dogs have already reached a plateau. There
has been no improvement in the
thoroughbred’s speed in the Kentucky
Derby since the 1940s and two other major
US races since the 1970s, while dogs’
performances also levelled out in the 1970s.
The increasing dog and thoroughbred
populations hadn’t improved the animals’
performances. However, ‘chance might still
turn up a faster animal,’ says Denny and he
predicts that thoroughbreds could improve
their top speeds by as much as 1% in the
2012m Kentucky Derby, eventually
peaking at a top speed of just over 17ms–1.
For humans the results were complicated by
the different distances that people race.
Looking at the speeds of male race winners
through the years, it seems as if men still
haven’t reached their top speeds at any
distance and Denny predicts that male 100m
sprinters could one day get the record down
to an incredible 9.48 s, running 0.23ms–1
faster than Usain Bolt’s current world record
of 9.69 s. Meanwhile, female sprinters’ top
annual speeds levelled off in the 1970s,
suggesting that any improvement in their
speed was not due to a population increase.
However, Denny suspects that female
sprinters have room for improvement too,
and predicts that they could eventually
knock more than 0.4 s of the current 100m
world record to cover the distance in 10.19 s.
Looking at marathon runners, Denny
predicts that males could cut the current
world record, held by Haile Gebrselassie,
by between 2min7s and 4min23s. And
when he calculates the top speed that a
human female marathon runner could
achieve, Denny suspects that women could
eventually cross the 42,195 m finishing line
in 2h12min41s. He adds that Paula
Radcliffe’s current world record of
2h15min25s is very close to his average
prediction for the maximum marathon
speed and suspects that female marathon
runners could be the first group to approach
his predictions and test whether they hold.
Denny is pleased to have shown that it is
possible to calculate the absolute limits to
speed of running animals ranging from
humans to thoroughbred horses. However,
he emphasises that we have no idea what
aspect of physiology restricts runners’
performances, and is keen to find out what
will prevent future gold medal winners
from breaking Denny’s Limits.

Accepted 20 October 2008
Are there absolute limits to the speed at which animals can run? If so, how close are present-day individuals to these limits? I approach these questions by using three statistical models and data from competitive races to estimate maximum running speeds for greyhounds, thoroughbred horses and elite human athletes. In each case, an absolute speed limit is definable, and the current record approaches that predicted maximum. While all such extrapolations must be used cautiously, these data suggest that there are limits to the ability of either natural or artificial selection to produce ever faster dogs, horses and humans. Quantification of the limits to running speed may aid in formulating and testing models of locomotion.Wednesday, November 19, 2008

YUT-C and Akron Results
As always some great running going on for the SERC athletes. Congrats to everyone that competed at YUT-C and Akron. Please let me know if I missed your result and I will get it up onto the blog.
If you are running towpath be sure to check out our booth at the expo. Amie, Janet, Todd, and I worked very hard putting together a poster board highlighting our club. On a random note if any Akron runners really loved those donuts they were handing out at the expo, or someone knows of a homeless shelter I could take the donuts too, let me know because I have a case of them in my car. :)

Towpath Marathon Volunteers Still Needed
I still could use a few more volunteers! If you are running this race and have a spouse or child old enough to help please let me know. This weekend is a busy one and I am having trouble lining up 10 people.
Details Below:
Thank you so much to all of you who have volunteered to help at the Towpath marathon aid station near Boston Store for the 10k and marathon. Race is October 12th and starts at 8 AM so we need to be at the Boston Store overflow lot around 7:30 to give us time to get to the aid station and set up which is about 1.5 miles walk down the towpath.
I still could use a few more volunteers! If you are running this race and have a spouse or child old enough to help please let me know. This weekend is a busy one and I am having trouble lining up 10 people.
Note that this is the first time I have worked a marathon aid station, it is obviously a bit different than an ultra station! If any of you have done this before and have an idea of how long it takes to get set up please let me know! I made my current estimates based on what the race told me.
I would like to start pouring water/gatorade by 8 AM at the latest. If you plan to jog to the aid station it will likely take you 10-15 minutes to get from the parking lot to there. I walked it and it took me 25 minutes. Our aid station is on the towpath about 1.5 miles south of Boston Store. (towards the highway bridge and pine lane) We are just past the long boardwalk section of the towpath. Please let me know if you don't know where this is. If we can all arrive as a group at 7:30 this will guarantee we all get to the right place.
The station in approximately mile 2 of the marathon and it is approximately mile 4.5 of the 10k. We are also the 10k turn around. Likely we will have some overlap of the two races. Our primary goals are to keep water and gatorade filled and passed out to runners, as well as make sure that all 10k runners turn around and head back to Boston Store.
Once that traffic clears we will have to wait for the lead marathon runners to come back through. We will be approximately mile 14 on the way back (I am waiting for details on exact miles from the race).
My best guess on times will be (I will adjust after I get confirmed mileage from the race and take a look at least years splits):
Leave cars between 7:30 and 7:45.
Start pouring cups between 7:45 and 8 AM.
First marathon runner arrives approximately 8:10 AM-8:15 AM, last marathon runner goes through first time around 8:30 AM.
First 10k Runner arrives approximately 8:20 AM, Last 10k runner hits turn around approximately 9:20 (based on a 20 minute pace)
First Marathon Runner hits the aid station at mile 14 around 9:10 AM (based on 2:45 finishing time)
Last Marathon Runner hits the aid station at mile 14 around 11:15 AM (based on 6 hour cut off pace)

Buckeye 50k History
Local Ultra Runenr Lloyd has written up a nice summary of the history of the Buckeye 50K. To read the entire report click here
"Fourteen years ago, Joe Jurczyk introduced the first Buckeye Trail 50 km as a low-key birthday fun run. Twelve runners participated in that inaugural event. According to Jurczyk, the main reason for the run was to “introduce runners to some of the local trails that we have here in the Cuyahoga Valley.”"

SERC Mentioned in the Plain Dealer 7/8/08
Click here to read the whole Plain Dealer Trail Story
"...One of the many up-sides of trail-running is its sheer accessibility. The sport is just about as low-tech and inexpensive as possible, and here in Northeast Ohio, we are blessed with a vast network of trails, not only in the Cleveland Metroparks but also in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
If you're new to running, you can start on a bridle path or the Canal Towpath and graduate to any portion of the Buckeye Trail. If you're nervous about directions or simply prefer companionship, you can connect with groups at Cleveland Southeast Runners Club (www.southeastrunningclub.org) or stores like Vertical Runner in Hudson and Second Sole in Rocky River, Lyndhurst and Medina..."
ATO Charities Mud March 7/26/08
Dear Athletes,
My name is Chuck Mozingo and I'm coordinating this year's Mud March, the premier event for ATO Charities, in Auburn on 7-26. We're contacting many local schools, individuals and companies to promote participation in the event and are encouraging a bit of competitive spirit between these organizations. The school or organization with the most registered participants by 7-10 will receive customized shirts commemorating their participation.
Last year’s March was voted the best trail run by Cleveland magazine in 2007 and I would invite you to learn more about this unique and outstanding event at www.atocharities.org. You can also find a link at www.hermescleveland.com or call me at the numbers below for further information. The event supports 3 local charities this year and provides for a wonderful day of activities for the individual or family. I hope to see you and the representatives from your school or company with you at the event on 7-26. Have a wonderful day.
Cordially,
Chuck Mozingo

Did you Know?
In case anyone is interested, the first SERC member to participate in the Western States 100 was John Lehrer, who lived on Summit Street, two houses east of the intersection of North Main and Summit streets in Chagrin Falls. John ran the "100" in 1979 after he had moved to Mountain View, CA. He was most happy about making the under-24 hour cutoff for the silver buckle finisher’s award. He was an assistant editor to Runners World when it was a stand-alone publication run by its founder Bob Anderson.

RUN AMERICA FILM
I'm Charlie Engle and I want you to run with me across America! I'm prepping for an exciting project that runners all over the country are participating in. We briefed Jean Knaack, Executive Director of the Road Runners Club of America – who wanted us to speak directly to you.
Nehst Studios is producing the feature film Running America – me and Marshall Ulrich will be running from San Francisco to New York in June, date TBD. We would like runners across the country to join us for a mile, then drop back and let another group run. But you may run as long as you like. We want 5 runners per mile – there's room for 15,000!
Here's how to get your members involved –
- Check out the project and the route at www.runningamerica08.com You may sign up there. There is a nominal registration fee of $3.95 which covers the application, release, and casting expense.
- You may forward this email and the attached press release to your membership list.
- You may post the information at meeting places and running stores.
- The press release will be posted on the National website, and you may also place it on your local site.
- Runners not close to the route have already chosen to travel to run with me – chapters both near and far from the run are welcome to participate.
We know this will be a history-making run. Our last project, Running the Sahara – in which I and other runners crossed Africa, was made into a feature documentary with Oscar-winner Matt Damon narrating. The film will be released late Summer to mid-Fall. I look forward to seeing Road Runners all across America! The run itself will also be raising money and awareness for a number of causes, to be announced soon. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Charlie Engle
PS: If you have questions you may email Nehst Studios at info@nehst.com They may also phone chapters to check inWednesday, April 30, 2008

SERC Members Travels
Well Joe Vishey wins the award for most traveling races lately!
Running the Crescent City Classic 10K in New Orleans on 3/22. 175th out of over 17,000 runners in 40:51.
Earlier in the month he ran a 5K in San Antonio on 3/1 and finished 2nd overall and top master.
The next morning ran Moe's Better Half Marathon in San Marcos, TX and finished 17th out of 266 in 1:34:21 (2nd AG), on, in his words "the most god-awful hilly course" (only 9 runners broke 1:30).
Barb Broad left us for sunnier sky's and is busy running up and down Squaw Peak in Phoenix this week.
I braved the snowstorm in Southern Michigan last week to race a trail 5 miler and despite horrible conditions managed to snag 2nd female. We won't even discuss times, lets just say I plan to run my 10k next weekend faster.
Keep me posted on your races and results! Don't forget about the spring classic next weekend (April 5th)
Hope to see everyone at this Sundays run!

Carpooling to the Spring Classic
The annual Spring Classic ½ Marathon in Strongsville will be held on Saturday, Apr. 5 in Strongsville, starting at 9 a.m. It’s put on by our friends on the Westside. From Solon, Strongsville is maybe a 35-40 minute drive. Some of you have run the Spring Classic or perhaps the Fall Classic (same course, same organizers) before. It’s a pretty flat, fast course and will be a great pre-taper race for Boston and a nice training opportunity for the Cleveland Marathon.
Many of us carpooled to the recent Youngstown half and had a great time. It was a nice opportunity to get to know other members better and after the race we went to breakfast/lunch at Bob Evans in Streetsboro. I’m thinking we can carpool to the Spring Classic. Are there any volunteers who’d like to drive? I’ve registered for the race and am about 80% sure I’ll run it so long as it aligns with my Mohican 100 training. I’ll know a week in advance and, if I do go, will be glad to take 3 others with me. If you’re interested in driving or carpooling with someone else, please let me know and I’ll pass the word onto the club. You can reach me at wchornsby at yahoo.
You can register for the Spring Classic by mail or through Active.com.
