Hey Guys,
I recently bought "daniel’s running formula" on amazon. Soon after I discovered that there was a second edition of the book. I know that the second edition has running strategies for the 800. But what else is different?
Women’s Running Tips: Top 40 tips for women over 40 runners
October 21, 2009
Filed under Running

Being a runner over 40 has presented new areas of interest (and concern) for me on the road and more importantly in my training and recovery off the road. I love to run and it's great to see research being done on older runners…the Yale study that shows that older marathon runners (women in particular) are improving their running times more than younger runners.
I would like to share some insights and tips that I have learned along the way. Many of these women's running tips can apply to all runners, but they definitely take on a new perspective as the years go on and we get older, wiser, and perhaps, faster… (due to format restrictions, many links have been removed, to see full text with links, go to aboldpace.com)
Training Tips:
1. Adding Miles: SLOWLY! Use the 10% rule. Add no more than 10% increase of the mileage each week. Here's more detailed explanation and chart from FitSugar.
2. Warmup: As we get older, the body needs time to get going and giving it that time will help avoid injuries. See "The Perfect Warmup" from Runner's World.
3.Cross-Training: Is a must for any runner, but as you age the relationship between cross-training and running becomes even more important. For a different, low impact, cross-training option, see our recent post on Aqua Running (or Pool Running). Core exercises have become another essential, here's some good ones from Runners World. Running Planet has done a nice job w/ laying out “The 8 rules of Strength Training". We have some good videos on our Resources page.
5.Stretching/Yoga: Another must for the aging runner (and this has certainly been debated by many). Dara Torres proved this in her Olympic effort that stunned us all. She adhered to a strict resistance stretching regime (see previous post – “Doing the Home Stretch with Dara Torres”). I am not a huge fan of yoga, but here's a good article by Runners World about a runner w/ a ITB injury who didn't like yoga at the beginning, then became a convert. My always injury free LDF ("Long Distance Friend") swears by power yoga!
6.Rest: This has become one of the most important parts of my training. If I don't get enough rest, my body begins to break down. Listen (very closely) to your body.
7.Massage: Another Dara Torres staple and one of my personal favorites. It does not matter if you have a fabulous husband like I do or get from a pro, it works to relieve the stress of training and tired muscles. You can even do it yourself w/ some videos by Rich Poley who wrote "Self Massage for Athletes".
8.Set a Goal: Having a goal or a race to strive for makes the training have a purpose and keep me focused.
9.Training Programs: A little planning goes a long way. If possible, try to plan your training to run more often on softer surfaces like trails, dirt roads, grassy parks, or even the track. A few good programs are on our resource page. There are many good ones out there–find one that suits you.
10.The Track: Most marathon training programs will include track work as it helps develop the fast twitch muscles to build speed and lung power during a race…getting older does not mean getting less competitive:) If I am training for a marathon, it really makes a difference for me especially in the later miles of the race. Good article from Runner's World called "Running in Circles".
11.Injury/Recovery: This one is hard for me as I have had many… at 46, I still like to run fast. There are several common injuries to running and I think I have had them all. See “Coming back from an injury" posts. I have learned to recognize my body's warning signs and back off. Many of these tips (see Rest, Diet, Stretching/Yoga, Massage, Weight/BMI, Orthotics, and more) are meant to help avoid injuries or help w/ recovery.
12.Running with Music: Running with music can help motivation and provide a needed distraction. I have also learned about the importance of BPM (beats per minute) and ensuring that if you are listening to a song, be sure it is not too slow and unconsciously slowing your pace. Find 70's, 80's, and 90's music along w/ best bands of today and learn more about BPMs in this post: “Best Running Music Ever”
13.Weight/BMI: It seems that fast marathoners have a low Body Mass Index (BMI). Marathon Guide has a quick tool to calculate your BMI. Knowing yours can help to find the "right" BMI for your best running performance. See also post: “What's the 'right' BMI for a woman marathoner?"
14.Running in Different types of Weather: I am not a treadmill runner, so I will run in anything short of a blizzard. With the right layers of clothing this is possible. However, if you are training in summer for a fall race, beware of weather differences. The weather during your race may be very different then when you are training. Don't be discouraged if you are not able to run 17 miles the way you think you should when you are in 80-90 degree heat and high humidity.
15.Travel Running: Always bring the running shoes along! Some of my best runs have been among the monuments of parks, cityscapes and beaches of sand. Hotels (see this post that mentions WestinRun) now will provide maps (and sometimes runners) to guide you. With the help of MapMyRun you can find a route from anywhere. Take a look at some of our Travel running posts.
16.Running and Sex: Here's an interesting article by Running Times that quotes an Israeli scientist who declared "Women compete better after orgasm, especially high-jumpers and runners"…who am I to argue w/ Israeli scientists?
17. Fartlek Training: Sports Fitness Advisor has some good tips on how to incorporate fartlek into your training (psst…if you don't know what fartlek is, check out 10Ktruth.com's "Runnerspeak – Dictionary of Running Jargon and Other Sport Terms" ).
Nutrition and Hydration Tips:
18. Type of Diet: Adhering to a well-balanced, low-fat, wholegrain diet that is higher in carbs has always been the best route for me. I love a good smoothie (see post “Smoothie Operator –quick nutritional training meal") while training. Here's an interesting article w/ good tips on eating from Cool Running called “The Runner's Diet".
19.Hydration: It used to be all water and Gatorade for me, but now as I get older I don't want the same amount of calories. I opt for the lower calorie alternatives like electrolyte powder mixes (see post: “Water log: Hydration and road recovery options for runners").
20. Eating after Running: The window for eating after running is small, but important. See post “Refuel 'Right' after a Run"
Gear Tips:
21. Running Clothes/Bra: I like my running clothes sporty–not funky, but this is obviously personal preference. A good running bra will go a long way…avoid cotton at all cost. I have learned that running skirts are the most polarizing of all apparel items. However, if you love wearing a skirt, check out the Skirtchaser Race Series…looks like fun!
22. Running Shoes/Socks: Running shoes are so personal the only way to really find a pair is to go to a running store and keep trying them on until you find one that feels comfortable. There are tons of shoe guides for different types of feet that are helpful in narrowing it all down. Learning about pronation and choosing a shoe that fits whether you have normal pronation, underpronation (or supination), or overpronation (or hyper-pronation) is key. Runner's World has a good article along with videos on pronation. I have changed my shoe once. I alternate pairs of three for marathon training (it used to be two but with my foot issues, it's now three). Here's Runner's World's "Spring 2009 Running Shoe Guide". The Asics Gel Kayano 15's are the "Editor's Choice" winners and also the shoes I use. A few other quick tips:
Measure your feet: As you age, your foot size may gradually change. Make sure salesperson measures your foot while you are standing up
Shop later in day: As the day goes on, you feet get slightly larger.
Orthotics and socks: Wear socks you use and bring orthotics to store when trying out shoes. Find "dry-wick" type of socks instead of cotton.
Check wear: Most shoes give you between 300 – 500 miles of running. Keep track of the miles (see #24- Running Log). Replacing shoes can avoid unnecessary injuries. Check for wear on soles and inside the shoe as well. Once you've found the shoes that work for you, you may be able to find the shoes again on-line at places like Runners Warehouse (a bold pace readers get 15% off), Overstock, or Holabird Sports.
Break in the shoe: Don't wear a new shoe to a marathon, be sure you have had time to break it in. However, when buying a new shoe, it should feel good when you are trying it on.
Thumb-width: Have a thumb width between the end of your longest toe and the end of the shoe. I wear a 1/2 size bigger to make sure I have room in the toe box.
Get medical advice: If you have a persistent problem with your feet, get the advice of a medical professional. Believe me, waiting for a foot to heal can be agonizing. Don't make it take any longer by waiting to get help.
Here's a great video from Howcast that covers many of these tips: “How to Choose a Running Shoe"
23. Orthotics: I overpronate and could not live without these. If you have foot issues (plantar fasciitis, heal spurs, significant overpronation or underpronation, etc.), I'd recommend seeing a sports doc to consider orthotics as your new sole-mates:)
24.Running Log: Memory is not one of my strongest assets, so having a log to record my training keeps track of: weekly mileage, meals, shoe purchases (so I know when to retire shoes), favorite routes/runs, etc.
25. Running Watch/GPS: At heart, I am more of a zen runner (would rather not wear a watch or calculate each mile's pace…just run), but the NYC marathon last year changed that for me. I went out too fast and had a hard time at the end. I now wear one again. There are great watches and GPS devices (see article from NY Times) that make it easy to calculate pace/time/distance. Another option in a marathon is to make use of "pacers" at a race…here's Clif Bar's Marathon Pace Team info.
26. Running Bag: See “What's in your Running Bag? 10 Essential Items for Taking your Run on the Road"
27. Chaffing: Avoid blisters, use BodyGlide, Vaseline or new Asics Chafe Free. Apply anywhere that rubs…feet, nipples, etc. For more on Asics, see “The End of Run Chaffing?"
28. ipods: The must have for runners (even if you need to borrow from your child). I understand why a lot of runners do not like to use during races , but if you love music, this can be a great way to relax and keep going (ipods are now allowed at some races, see post “Music to my ears"). Be sure to choose songs that work w/ your pace/BPM.
29. Reading about Running: There are so many fabulous books out there on running that are fun to read. They can motivate and excite you. We have a few posted on our Amazon Store.
Racing Tips:
30.Finding a Race: Marathon guide or Racevine can help you find a marathons and other shorter races. These sites not only list races, they rate them.
31. Racing for a Charity: Millions of dollars a year are raised by runners for charity. It can make the race more meaningful if you have someone in mind as you run the miles. Supporting a good cause can also be a way into a sold-out race.
32. Women only Races: More magazine's Marathon/Half-Marathon (they have the best expo), Zooma Women's Race Series, Nike Women's Marathon and See Jane Run are just a few of the women only races out there. They are fun, lively and a bit more polite then the co-ed races:)
33. Pace your Race: It is helpful to know your race goal and have the mile split times easily accessible. PaceTat is a durable, lightweight (actually weightless), and unobtrusive way to keep track of your pace while racing. These are simple transfers that you apply before you race and shows your mile split goals in clear large font. Brilliant idea, and only $2.00 – $2.99 per transfer. Or go the simple and FREE route w/ this tool from Clif Bar.
34.Speed at 40/Beating your PR:There have been numerous articles about how women are older women are getting faster and staying there (see ABC News article on Yale University Study). As we gain experience, we become more efficient runners. We know to run the tangents, prepare properly, and read tips like many we have listed here. We also have more time to train as our children get older.
35.Qualifying for Boston/The Boston Times: Boston is a great, tough race. It is an honor to run it. This is not one to be missed if you qualify. See some of our posts about the Boston Marathon. Check out the Boston Marathon Qualifying Times.
36. The Race Day Survival Kit: You don't want any last minute surprises on race day. Having a race day kit can help you to know you are prepared and keep you focused on the race. Assuming you already are wearing your clothes, shoes, have your watch, etc…there are still some items you need. There are two options… you can use a "check-in bag" where you have to wait in-line to get a claim ticket or use a "disposable bag" that has just the essentials and can be tossed. Here are checklists for both:
Check-in Bag:
____Extra Clothes: Nice to have a spare top, shorts, and socks to change into after the race.
____Sunglasses and sunscreen: If it's a hot and sunny day, you'll be glad you have these.
____Towel: There may be a shower at the end of the race, but even if not, nice to have to towel off.
____Phone: To contact friends after race
____Money: For any emergency needs
____Pre-race food and fluids
____Post-race food and fluids
____Race Number (if already have) and safety pins: Bring a few extra and you'll make lots of friends:)
____Race Chip (if already have)
____Course map/Race instructions
____Band-aids/Athletic Tape/First aid
____BodyGlide/Vaseline/Chafe Free
____Deodorant
____Large garbage bag: Helpful if windy or raining before the race or just to sit on.
____Wipes: Useful for nasty porta-potty
____Magazine: Nice to catch up on Vanity Fair while waiting in line for race to start:)
____Extra Goo packets: Use safety pin to keep a couple with you for during the race.
Disposable Bag:
____Pre-race food and fluids
____Wipes: Useful for nasty porta-potty
____Throwaway old clothes: Sweatshirt or long-sleeve shirt. Most races donate discarded clothes to charity.
____Race Number (if already have) and safety pins: Bring a few extra and you'll make lots of friends:)
____Race Chip (if already have)
____Magazine: Nice to catch up on Vanity Fair while waiting in line for start:) Put in garbage before start.
____Large garbage bag: Helpful if windy or raining before the race or just to sit on.
____Extra Goo packets: Use safety pin to keep a couple with you for during the race.
The Running Psyche Tips:
37. Making time for yourself: Running = sanity. Alone or with friends it has fantastic therapeutic results that last all day. I find doing it early in the morning is best as I know I'll get my run in and "life stuff" during the day will not get in the way.
38.The Running Group: One of my LDFs and I always joke how we are going to write a book about the nuances of our running group. Finding friends to share running with is a wonderful thing and helps you to stay motivated and enjoy the company along with the run.
39. Running Websites/Blogs: There is so much on the web now that you can tap into for running advice, training, support…see our blogroll. It's a great time to be a runner. If you're not getting automatic e-mail updates from <b>a bold pace</b>, don't miss out! Or if you prefer, get our RSS feed.
40. Going beyond your limits: I have to add this because it is the reason I give my son every time he asks why I run…"running for me is about going beyond the limits I have of myself in my mind". He's very logical and always answers…"limits are definitive–you can't go beyond them"…I keep trying to prove him wrong.
Perhaps it is the fresh air or the hours of laboring over one subject with LDFs but from running has come some profound realizations. My LDF Heidi and I have decided that everything our children need to know about life we can relate to running. A life manual in the making perhaps? There is always "One for the THE Book…" decided on a run.

Best products for marathon runners

By: Carol Bardelli
The Boston Marathon is the oldest and most prestigious marathon in the U.S. But about 800 marathons are run around the world every year. Marathon runners face unique issues and my picks for the best products for marathon runners are listed below.
Cherry Pharm
You may be asking why cherry? Have I got news for you. Research studies prove that a tart cherry juice blend like Cherry Pharm prevents the symptoms of muscle damage of intense exercise like marathon running. Cherry Pharm, the brainchild of John Davey, also has healthy benefits for non-athletes. Davey discovered fresh cherries and cherry juice relieves some forms of chronic pain. Developed in collaboration with Cornell University and clinically tested at the Nicholas Institute of Sports Medicine and Athletic Trauma at Lenox Hill Hospital, Cherry Pharm retains maximum cherry phyto-nutrients. These phyto-nutrients are proven to lessen pain, reduce strength loss, and speed recovery in athletes and non-athletes alike. Now you really can drink to your health.
Fuel Belt
You know you need some way to carry your water and Cherry Pharm bottles on those long training runs. The Fuel Belt does just that. No more stashing bottles along your run route or carrying a bottle stuck in your fanny pack. The Fuel Belt solves your water issues with a comfortable elastic belt that firmly holds small bottles of water or any drink. The bottles don't bounce while you run and they carry as much water as an oversized bike bottle. The Fuel Belt is a comfortable and convenient solution to an age old runners' dilemma.
ArmPod
If you're like me having access to your music while you're exercising is a must. The new ArmPod music player holder straps onto your arm, is bounce-free, and a remarkably comfortable solution for carrying your MP3 player, mini disc, cell phone, and other must-haves. It custom fits to a full range of player sizes and shapes making it one of the most versatile armbands for your small electronics. And it provides full access to your player controls while you're on the run.
WIN High Performance Sport Detergent
WIN detergent's powerful and organic surfactants strip sweat, dirt, fungi, and grease from your filthy running clothes. It has a light pleasant scent and leaves your apparel soft and preserves the life of those favorite and often expensive pieces of clothing. WIN's oxy cleaning system was designed specifically for running enthusiasts but it's a valuable product for all athletes, weekend warriors, and fitness enthusiasts. This product truly is a WINner.
All of these products are available through online and mass market retailers including Amazon, WalMart, The Marathon Store, and The Sports Authority.
Truth about Six-Pack Abs: How True Is It?
June 7, 2009
Filed under Diet & Fitness
I have been in constant search all over the web for a reliable review on the “Truth about Six-Pack Abs” to no avail. All I ever found are sites that keep on advertising the product instead of giving out information if the product really works or not.
It’s too bad for them because I am not the type of person who is easily convinced with online advertisements. I am very skeptic when it comes to investing money on these things. When I find a product too good to be true, I do not easily purchase that product and avoid getting something that is not worth my hard-earned money (from working on 5 jobs).
What I did was investigate on the product through Google. I was actually looking for testimonies complaining about the “Truth about Six-Pack Abs” but I found none after browsing about nine pages already!
…I had to set aside my ego and at last decided to try it.
Due to the fact that I was able to download the e-book at an instant, immediately after the purchase, I spent hours reading it to find out what type of e-book it actually was.
I have also been in constant search for a program that will help me lose weight specifically that big, fat belly of mine but I tried a lot of schemes already and end up with practically the same size, weight and shape. I tried the gym but by the time I get there, it’s already closed (you would understand me if you also have 5 jobs in a row and a couple of kids to take care of).
What’s the excitement all about with the “Truth about Six-Pack Abs”?
Honestly? EVERYTHING!
I was really amazed by everything I have read in this e-book. Initially it focuses on the myths about fat reduction and elimination. I was actually taken aback when I learned that long diet programs and ab exercises DON’T WORK!
Then, the e-book discussed how cardio is absolutely ineffective in reducing the fats and that the exercise programs mentioned in the e-book can be as effective as removing the fats even during sleeping time.
Somehow it made logical sense but I still found it too good to be true. It provides an eight-level total body exercise program combined with an eight-level ab training exercises that takes about 45 minutes per session. In addition, said workouts have to be done only three times in a week.
One thing that’s good about it is that it does not necessitate for me to go to the gym. I placed an order from Amazon for a pair of dumbbells as suggested by the book. I was even more surprised that they cost cheaper than those that is have checked out in a store a couple of weeks back.
Sounds good so far right? But it actually becomes better…
When I started with the program 16 weeks ago, I took off with level 1 and now I am already on level 4. I am now on my 17th week with the program and guess what?
I trimmed 5 inches of belly fat and lost 73.4 pounds of my total body weight. I can proudly say that I have become the sexy dad in our neighborhood in just 16 weeks!
But as is said, I am only in level 4, I will continue the program until I get exactly what I want—a perfect body and perfect abs! If you try it for yourself, you will also never feel that there must be a reason to stop. Not if you get these kinds of compliments that I get at work…
Just like any weight reduction program, the workout should go with the proper diet. Don’t get me wrong, the diet program that is found in the “Truth about Six-Pack Abs” is not going to starve you to death!
Instead of being told what meals to cook or to eat, the author, Mike, told me how to cook the meals that I can eat. Mind you, they taste a lot better than the sumptuous meals served in fine restaurants.
Besides having the delicious taste, they are also nutritious. Just imagine how it feels to be able to eat whatever food you like, only, you’re still on a diet!
If you follow Mike’s recipes, you can also eat CHEESE…
Of course there have been a lot of times when I hated to follow the exercises due to the fact that they make me feel sore. Nonetheless, the program did not only change how my body looks like, it also changed how my spirit should react.
Look here, I am but just a regular dad with a couple of kids to raise. If I was able to do it for myself, so can you… It works for me, and I assure you that it will work for you as well!
What makes it better than it already was is the possibility of getting your money back if you do not get results in eight weeks. I personally sent an email to the Mike Geary. He was such a great guy, he replied at once.
From one satisfied customer to another, I hereby recommend the “Truth about Six-Pack Abs”. I wish you the best in your quest for the body that you deserve.
But wait, there’s more… here are some bonuses…
1. 8 Week BW – DB Fusion Workout
I was able to follow this program for only two weeks now despite the problem with the allocation of time. If you have a strong determination and literally, a strong heart, I am highly recommending this workout for you.
This workout is a segment of a famous product known as Turbulence Training by Craig Ballantyne. Mike himself said that he and Craig are good friends and that they share the same views in fat reduction.
It really is turbulent as it makes you run for your breath in less than a quarter of an hour.
2. Stability Ball Ab workouts
On my fifth training day using the “Truth about Six-Pack Abs”, I did my workout with a stability ball. Even I was amazed with what a big ball can do.
Every time I do a workout with the ball, I could feel my abs the day that follows. The e-book will show you how to incorporate the ball, of course. It even illustrates the workouts making it easier for you.
3. The Full Body Stretch Routine
This is a very vital segment of the program because every time I do the stretching after the main exercises, I would more comfortable the following day. When I fail to do the stretching, my body becomes sore and weak the day that follows.
There are a lot of bonuses you can get along with the “Truth about Six-Pack Abs” program but I could only spare the extra time for the three mentioned above. I can say that I am becoming very successful so far. I hope you will, too.

Most people associate losing weight with pain and misery. Very often, they see themselves vigorously toiling away on a piece of exercise equipment for lengthy periods of time and therefore become discouraged before they discover just how easy it is to lose weight. Just as Rome was not build in a day, you should not expect to drop massive pounds in a very short time. Studies have shown that it is not health to drop too much weight quickly. Doing so could lead to other health problems associated with rapid weight loss. Instead it is better to visualize yourself dropping one pound after another until you have reached your intended goal.
There are many dangers to losing weight too quickly. Often, instead of subscribing to a proven fitness and exercise program, most people chase one fad diet after another looking for the magic pill. This is often accentuated with periods prolonged fasting where they starve themselves in hope of shedding the pounds. This can be a very dangerous practice if not performed under the supervision of a trained weight loss expert of family doctor.
One of the biggest problems associated with prolonged fast is that you typically withhold vital nutrients such as vitamins and minerals needed to maintain good health. Surprisingly, instead of increasing your body’s metabolism, you actually decrease it thus, making it more difficult to lose weight. As you are fasting you may feel like you are making progress. You may actually notice a slight drop in weight for the first day or so. However, one of the biggest problems of fasting aside from denying yourself of daily vital nutrients is at some point you will cease to lose weight. Once you return to your daily consumption of calories as many do, your body will actually burn fewer calories than you consume as a result of a decreased metabolism rate. The excess calories will be stored as fat making more difficult to lose weight. Consequently, you may find that you are actually gaining more than you intended to lose.
Health and fitness experts all agree that a solid weight loss program should be constructed around increasing the metabolism rate so you can use your body’s natural fat- burning energy to shed unwanted pounds. While a proper diet is one of the essential keys, it should not go without a well-planned exercise program.
The best way to lose weight is with a fitness and exercise program combined with a healthy diet. This may include the services of a weigh loss trainer accompanied with a few appetite suppressants. If you are interested in a weight loss product that is proven to suppress the appetite, it is imperative that you do your research first.
