Mid-Michigan Track  Club
Summer  2006
     *   time trials (not a race);  no awards, no entry fees, but all start
together and are timed
     *   summer goals are to peak  for 5k and 10k racing by weekly interval
sessions
SOME NOTES REGARDING: MT  HOPE and EVERGREEN  CEMETERIES - It is a  privilege
to run there with hills and no traffic.
However, the city father’s  blessings are rather fragile, therefore it
behooves us to closely follow these  rules:
1. If auto traffic  .  .  .  quietly and politely yield, especially
congregating at start/finish line
2. If someone visiting a  grave site  .  .  .  pass by  quietly
3. If a funeral  .  .  .  we go to other cemetery  .  .  .  last resort
Potter Park
4. Cemetery Parking:  single file on south side of road in the  SW corner
where we are the most out of sight
5. While running, if route  puts runners facing each other, keep to the right
(like when driving a  car)
SOME NOTES REGARDING TRACK  WORKOUTS
1. Run tight to inside curb,  even slower runners so that all passing will be
on the  outside.
2. Run single file, when  pacing together side by side, go single file on
curves and when being  passed.
3. Step off track or to very  outside lane when not running.
4. During relays run in the  inside 2 lanes, awaiting partners line up in
lanes 3,4,5, & start when  partner crosses line
(It is not necessary to  touch)

You can tell it is late winter and not spring yet!  We meet Saturday  at the
rivertrail at thefish ladder near Grand River Av.  The river is up,  perhaps
flooding the riverwalk, like springtime.  Also, the temp is  predicated to be
14 degrees over Fri night like winter time.     Jim Carter will be bringing
clock and deciding on the route.  Bill Keller  will probably come in sweats
instead of shorts if the 14 degree prediction  holds....maybe.

I had a sign in my office that became my motto.  It said, "what Mother
Nature giveth, Father Time taketh away"  Old cougers llike Wilbert Griffin, 
Norm
Eastman, and myself can testify to that.  For a runner, no matter how  hard
he/she trains, the age factor enters into a  destinied slowdown as  predictable
as life's mortality itself.

The mission is to maximize yourself at each new age level.  Maybe you  are
not as fast, but you are just as good. (That could be a motto of life,  too)
Each season you should discard the old personal bests records as  memories, and
shoot for a new personal best for the current year.  I have  been rummaging
around thru some old papers and found a table of 5K and 10K  computer models
based on age group records that allows a runner to compare the  time of past
years and current and future ages to a per cent level of nearing  the than
current
age group record.  Thus, if the tables predict that your  time this year will
be 3 minutes slower than last year, you can achieve a new  personal best even
if the stopwatch is slower.  It is too complicated to  copy onto Email, but I
will get them copied off for anyone interested.

Am headed south for a few weeks, when I return i will invite orders for
those tables to anyone interested.  Would be a handy tool as you prepare  for
the
interval training season and the competitive races this spring and  summer.

Dear MSU Track and Field  Fans,

Big Ten Outdoor Track and Field  Championship. This meet will be held at the
Ralph Young Track, next to Spartan  Stadium, from Friday, May 12 through Sunday,
May 14. This meet represents an  opportunity for the Michigan State Track and
Field Team to host one of most  competitive collegiate conference meets in the
country while allowing its  athletes to perform in front of a home crowd.
In order to ensure a quality meet  experience for participants and fans, we
are in need of enthusiastic volunteers  from the community. Each volunteer
would sign up for specific time slots over  the three day period. It is possible
to sign up for as many or few slots as  desired by each volunteer. Volunteers
will receive a complimentary pass to take  in all of the weekend’s events,
free
meals while working the event, and an MSU  Track and Field T-Shirt. If you
are interested in volunteering for one or more  of the time slots please view
the attached document and email me the following  information. Please volunteer
for events that you fully anticipate  working.
***Your first and last  name
***E-mail  address
***Phone  number
***Day(s) you wish to  volunteer
***Specific time period you are  volunteering for (see attached sheet)
***Specific area you would like to  volunteer for. (Track events, Jumping
events, Throwing events) We will try an  accommodate everyone’s wishes
I am looking forward to hearing from  you all. Please provide all of the
above information to assist us in our  preparation and feel free to pass this
along to any other responsible adult who  may wish to work this event. Thanks
again, Go  Green!

Recvd this letter from Jim Carter:

Gordy,
This is our opportunity to receive MSU's permission to occasionally use the
MSU Track.
Suggest that we talk to Andy Marsh (he works at Playmakers) to explain our
case. I'm sure that MSU would be grateful for any support that MMTC can offer,
and that MMTC would be able to help with volunteers anytime MSU needs help.
This would open some good repoire between MSU & MMTC that has been  lacking
for several years. I believe that this would be a win-win opportunity  for both
MSU & MMTC.
Jim Carter

From a 1974 newsletter
MMTC in the past held a summer ending pentathalon whereby computerized
points were assigned for each distances finish time.  For instance a 12.0 100yd
and
a 60 sec  440yd and a 5:00 mile might all receive 1000pts per event.  The
event required plenty of extra help  to record and calculate.  In 1974  the
champ
was Gerald Crane with the following chart: 220yd 25.2, 440yd 54.5,  880yd
2:04.5, mile 4:39.5, 3-mile 14:49.  PRETTY GOOD NIGHT’S WORK!

Self Timed
6 x 880 on the 3:30’s or 4:00’s or 5:00’s
Alliance Road 1 mile loop  near Campus
April 18, 2006    warm, 66ºstrong se wind
This type of interval workout does not  qualify for timing of total distance
or  even splits.  Certainly a runner  could not do 6 x 880yds solo as well as
when they can run with peer groups for  speed and effort stimuli.  With the
apparent efforts and relative running times, the multi-person peer group
intervals were a success at early speed training.
The course was selected because of room to have the groups run  separately,
to not have people running head on to each other, and to be away  from bikers,
rollerbladers, walkers, and joggers as we encountered when doing  this
exercise on the Riverwalk.  What do you participants think of the venue?
