Dusting off the ol’ spikes

Every drawing has a story, you have to be able to explain yourself, or at least that’s what they tell you in design school. Here’s the story of this one:

We live in a small place. I prefer it that way, for now at least. However, it does pose some problems since I hate accumulating things and it’s easy to pack a small apartment. Half the shit I accumulate I don’t need but seems too valuable to throw out. On a recent weeknight I tossed a lot  of stuff like DVDs (all of them!), a pair of jeans that had so many holes in them my ass was hanging out, old crappy drawings, lots of paperwork that I’m happy to never see again, old magazines etc etc. But then hesitated when I came across a pair of track spikes. I don’t even run track anymore and the last track race I did, well…it’s been a few years. These spikes the only remaining pair I own. Hell’s going to freeze over before you see me seriously competing on the track ever again – although I’ll never rule it out – but I couldn’t bring myself to tossing them. I’ve got this sentimental attachment to them that is preventing me from tossing them and desipite my best intentions to live minimally they hang out in the apartment still, until next time I come to this decision point again.

I drew this quick illustration for Level Renner and it was meant to be a lead in to track season. A sort of dusting off the ol’ spikes type of illustration. One with a similar feel to the old cover on Once A Runner. Remember that one? Not the one that’s in bookstores now, but the classic one (see just below). It’s a bit melancholy, the cover illustration. I have no idea who did the illustration for the book but the image is burned in my brain. I imagine myself in that scene and I’m really drawn in. Powerful. So the spikes have this powerful connection with me as they are a symbol of lots of focus, singular drive, some highs, plenty of lows, and all the milestones in life that have happened in the 14 years I competed on the track. I look forward to boring my kids with stories from races, training runs (plenty of stories here), and showing them pictures. Perhaps they’ll understand why I’m freaking nuts but became who I am doing something that seems quite trivial to most. That’s what these spikes still mean to me.

So that’s that one.  Heading out for a run now.

Screen Shot 2013-05-02 at 10.39.40 AM“The thing is, everybody wants to be a winner. And when you’re psyched up, you’re willing to make any sacrifice. After a great workout, you’ll happily go hit the weight room, or add extra miles, or eat spinach and broccoli. But what will you do when you’re feeling like crap, or all your friends are going out, or it’s pouring rain, or you’re running poorly? To keep striving over the course of years, you need to smooth out the natural highs and lows of your desire, so that you have a constant and unrelenting force that drives you off the sofa and out to run. Every day. Twice.”

— Once A Runner

Be Careful Where You Click

Dec. 19 Articles, Behind the Scenes 17 comments

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

It looks like there’s a Level impostor out there, so be careful. They’re on Twitter and throwing around phrases like “real” and “Level certified”, but it most definitely is not. I guess it’s confirmation that we’ve arrived. We are now big enough to have someone actually send out spoof tweets! We’re flattered, we really are. But it still seems like a gross mismanagement of time to be spoofing us. If they were really clever they’d spoof coolrunning.com and send out spoof race results. That would turn some heads!

For now it all seems rather harmless, but be warned: only the @LevelRenner Twitter handle is actually @LevelRenner. Anything else is questionable. We do not “certify” them, we do not guaranty any prizes they might offer or support any of their promotions.

Back to business: Our t-shirt winner yesterday was…

Ken Ludt – Just turned 50. Proving to myself I’m not old gets me out that door. Running my first marathon this Sunday! Woot!

Good luck in that marathon Ken! Which one is it? Let us know how you do.

We’ll give away another t-shirt today. Today’s theme: first marathons. What was your first? Don’t worry, if you’ve never run one, you can still enter.

Level Franchise in Kentucky?

Nov. 30 Articles, Behind the Scenes, Get Involved no comments

I run into mini-bouts of insomnia from time to time. Okay, maybe not full blown insomnia, but the sleep is hard to come by. Combine that with my healthy love of the movie (and book) Fight Club, and it makes my imagination run wild. I’d be lying if I wasn’t secretly hoping to find other Level Renner cells set up when I got to Kentucky to cover the club cross country nationals. “Have I been here before?” I’d ask. They’d reply with, “is this a test, sir?” Yes!

I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.

Okay, I’ll ease up on the Fight Club references in the off chance that there are any non-Fight Club fans out there reading this. Assuming Tyler Durden hasn’t been making trips to KY and setting up shop, I’ll be out there (solo) taking care of business. That doesn’t mean I’ll be alone. As you can see from this list here, there are plenty of local teams and runners that’ll be out there. In fact the number is much greater than I initially thought as I was reminded that a couple more of the Greats will be out there: Greater Lowell Road Runners (aka the Angry Chickens) and the  Greater Springfield Harriers.

While everyone is going out there focused and determined, we’re only human and naturally some fun will be had after the race. As one anonymous Wolfpack member so eloquently put it:

“Please make the Level piece something that tells the tale from the start line, to the finish, and far beyond. I’d say some Saturday night video interviews would prove useful for future referencing while painting the true picture of what taking part in Nationals is all about. After all, aren’t we all just Galen Rupps who drank in college?

Side note: since I offered the Saturday video idea I would appreciate no videos be captured of my night, but if KY is anything like Charlotte I’d imagine some Facebook defense will be required on my part come December 9th.

This should be a good one.

Oh, and the nightlife after Nats is the only time when not respecting the process is actually respecting the process. The meaning inverses somewhere between 8k and 10k depending on how your race is going…

In the meantime; respect the process.”

- #AnonymousOnTheLevel

You can’t see it, but a single tear just rolled down my cheek. That…was…beautiful. He (or she?) couldn’t have said it any better. An epic post-race gathering could get more people thinking about getting involved in cross and making the trip to Nationals. How could it not? We might not be able to totally transplant the Whip City vibe all the way out there, but I’m sure there are suitable alternatives.

Now, to the ugly side of the business. Every year hundreds of journalists freeze or starve to death while covering club nationals. Please don’t let EJN become another statistic. For about the cost of an airline ticket, a hotel room and a couple of reasonably priced meals, you could adopt a struggling “journalist” and provide him with an airline ticket, a hotel room and a couple of reasonably priced meals. If your business steps up, you’ll get credit on all posts we do for this event (even throw in some status updates and tweets). To sweeten the pot, it also comes with an ad in the next issue of Level Renner.

See Y’all in Kentucky

Nov. 28 Articles, Behind the Scenes, Breaking News no comments

We’re going. That’s it. Plane tickets have been purchased. Level Renner can not be contained, can not be stopped. We will be at cross country club nationals in spectacular Lexington, KY on December 8th, covering the runners of clubs such as Greater Boston Track Club, Western Mass Distance Project, Boston Athletic Association, Dirigo RC, New Balance Boston, and possibly even Central Park Track Club.

It was just too great of an opportunity to pass up. Who wouldn’t want to go to Kentucky…in December…and freeze? Sounds bleepin’ glamorous to me! Our razor thin budget doesn’t really allow for things like airfare, hotel rooms and food. To make up for that, I will be jammed into a large dog crate and stowed away with all the checked bags on the flight. For food, I’ll consume nothing but packets of oatmeal and raman noodle. As far as sleeping goes, well, let’s just say that sleeping in a bed on the road would be akin to selling out. No, no, no, that just won’t do. We need to adhere to our punk rock style, which means most likely I’ll end up sleeping on the floor of someone’s hotel room. Rock ‘n’ roll!

Expect a lot of updates on this, including posting and tweeting from the road whenever possible. The coverage should be epic. There needs to be a plank-off happening at some point during this trip (chugging optional?). If there’s wifi in the hotel, maybe we can do a live feed via some sort of internet wizardry? Who knows? The Kentucky sky’s the limit.

Attention any businesses, stores or people who look and act like the monopoly man, this is your chance to be part of it all: we are looking for someone to sponsor all of this. The race is Saturday, December 8th in Lexington, Kentucky. The sooner we can reach an agreement, the sooner that your business can name can start getting plugged. Even this one could’ve been sporting somebody’s logo. Yup. Just think of all those viewers that could’ve been alerted to the sale at Wilson’s Widgets at the same time that they learned of the Level’s trip. To sweeten the pot, whoever sponsors this will also get a complimentary ad in the next issue of Level Renner. We’re surprisingly affordable, contact us to talk details.

Rant against USATF NE “slates”

Nov. 26 Articles, Behind the Scenes, Get Involved 4 comments

Guest Blog by Dave Dunham

The process of selecting the USATF New England Road Running Grand Prix is flawed. A few select individuals decide three equally unpalatable “slates” for us to choose from. Great races like the James Joyce 10km, the Canton 10km, the Lenox marathon, and the Middlebury Maple run ½ marathon aren’t even considered!

A few years ago the slate system was adopted because USATF NE thinks the general population will select races that may “conflict” with other races. I call bullshit on that! Each and every person who votes for the GP has their own agenda and their own list of races that they want to run. Why is some elite group sitting down (on an afternoon during the Veteran’s day holiday of all things) and deciding what is best for the membership? How many “Iron-runners” were invited? Was your club represented? Were the “active and top scoring clubs” invited? I think I know the answer to those questions.

Heck, the slates we’ve been given have conflicts with OTHER USATF NE events!!! The potential exists for a couple of weeknight races, talk about conflicts…I’m sure a lot of people out there can’t justify a weeknight race. How about a Thursday night downhill 5k 39 hours before the start of the Mt Washington road race (which is a perennial Team Event)? Yikes, that is going to hurt!

It really comes down to choices and each of us will make those choices based on our individual priorities. It would be great if we had ALL of the choices. If a race goes through the trouble of bidding for a championship we should all be allowed to at least consider the race.

What I’m calling for is for everyone who reads this to contact USATF NE (email addresses below) and tell them that you want OPEN VOTING. Have them do away with the slates and allow the most popular races as selected by the membership of USATF.

If we generate enough email traffic maybe USATF will listen to the members and make this important change.

Let USATF New England know that you are smart enough to vote on EACH distance. Tell them that “slates” are a bad idea. Let your voice be heard and maybe we can get this fixed for 2014.

Email the powers that be:

LevelRenner.com v2.0!!!!!!!!

Nov. 12 Articles, Behind the Scenes no comments

It was bound to happen sooner or later, but we finally out grew the original website. To help ease the transition from olde to new, and to show you what we’ve added and improved, here’s a quick primer:

Content Preview Carousel
What probably jumps right out at you is the big picture/text combo that serves as a preview for our content. The latest four releases will be featured here and will steadily rotate. Can’t decided what to read first? Just stare at the screen and see what catches your eye as it scrolls through. Be warned: this site is ridiculously good looking, so it’s easy to just completely lose track of time while gazing at it.

Subscribe Right on the Homepage
No more extra steps or needless site navigation. Love the Level? Know simple math? Then you can sign up for a free subscription right on the new homepage! If you’re struggling with simple math, then we might be able to hook you up with tutor.

Latest Issue Download
Download the latest issue right from the menu bar on the homepage. Gone is the static image of the latest issue, but it was redundant and taking up valuable space anyway. Speaking of the magazine…

Magazine Issues
You’ll notice that underneath the content preview window is a horizontal rotating carousel that features all issues of the magazine. Click on one and it brings you to a detailed listing of that issue’s table of contents, along with a link to download it (for free, of course).

Up in the menu bar is an Issues option that brings you to a screen showing a small preview of all the issue. Clicking on one of those brings you to the same table of contents page describe above.

Articles
When you grow up, sometimes the terminology has to grow with you. What used to be labeled as blog posts is now contained under the option Articles in the main menu bar. Everything found under the old blog section can be found here.

The latest blog post shows up on the main page, the rest can be found under Articles. There’s a drop down menu under Articles in which a couple of our more popular categories are offered as a shortcut. The other categories, although not offered as a drop down option, are still all included in the Articles section.

Video Content
Gone is the old video gallery tab, replaced with a more visually appealing Youtube channel. The video that was embedded in the old blog posts is still available wherever it was embedded. The only difference here is now you can easily click on the Youtube icon in upper right corner and it brings you to a faster, cleaner way of perusing our video content.

Improved Twitter feed
We’ve been having a blast interacting with the Legion via Twitter, and with this new and improved Twitter widget you can see what you might have been missing out on. It also gives the option to tweet right to us from that page.

Social Media
Improved Twitter feed, Youtube channel…what’s missing? Google+…we finally have a presence on Google+ and are excited about making new friends there and strengthening ties with existing ones as well. We’re proud of what we do here and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to access it. In the upper right hand portion of the main screen you notice the social media icons, which for now are just Facebook, Twitter and  Youtube. Use those to help stay connected to everything that we do.

About Us
Joe Navas finally got around to submitting a bio, check out our updated About Us page to see what I’m talking about. And please, join us in saying a loud, sarcastic “It’s about time, Joe!”. Joe’s done a lot of great work with us, and it’s good to see him listed there finally.

We’ll be constantly tweaking and looking to improve whenever we can. We’ll be adding a poll to the main page very soon, and then tweaking the categories and tags on all the content to make for a streamlined search for anyone sifting through our archives. When things change, you’ll be the first to know!

What the Non-Tweeters Missed

Nov. 02 Articles, Behind the Scenes, Get Involved no comments

Although Twitter’s huge, it still isn’t as big as Facebook. We definitely don’t have nearly as many followers on Twitter as we do on Facebook, which could very well mean that a huge portion of Level Legion just isn’t in to tweeting. That’s fine. We’ll bring it to you.

As much as we want Level Renner to be a place to come to for racing news, interview and training info, we also want it to be an interactive social experience. Twitter definitely helps us do that. So to help wind down the work week, here’s the best of our Twitter interactions from the past week:

Excellent question. We just don’t know, Jesse, we just don’t know. Speaking of Jesse…

This was in regards to the video we put up of Jesse from the Cape. Can you imagine a 9 yr old closing out a race like that? Incredible!

Coach Brown, consider this your shout out. Congrats on coach of the year! That didn’t take long now, did it? Best of luck to you going forward.

We love contests, and the creativity people have been showing in use of the the #___OnTheLevel hashtags! We also love supporting the locals when they travel off to big races, so this combines a couple of our favorite things. Good luck Tim! Speaking of contest…

 

Hmmm…firm handshake? It’s a good prize, but the Level doesn’t exactly have hands. It’s all legs and heart (well, mostly), the perfect running machine.

You got that right!

 

The Legion is restless, hungry and always looking to throw down! And finally…


Wait, isn’t that illegal? I’ve never quite heard it put that way before. Well, okay then…wouldn’t want to disappoint our followers…

These were just some of what you may have missed. If you’re already a tweeter, then get in on the action!

One Year, Baby!!!

Jul. 30 Articles, Behind the Scenes, Get Involved no comments

The Level has now been around for a year…woohoo! We celebrated that yesterday at the Level’s Norwood office, with cake and good times being had by all.

Most of the main Level contributors were in attendance, along with some friends, family, fans and supporters. The day was filled with plenty of good food (BBQ!), drink (Hawaiian Punch!) and conversation about the scene in New England.

The day wasn’t without some mystery, however. The kids had been writing on the patio with some chalk, and, after everyone had left, a message scribbled in there had caught my eye. Muddy Puddin’ was here. What, he was?! I felt like Chazz Palminteri in the Usual Suspects after he realized Keyser Söze had just slipped through his fingers. One of these days I’ll get to meet him.

So for those who have supported us and helped us out, thank you! We couldn’t have done it without you. For the few who thought this was just a fad, a flash in the pan and not here to stay…we couldn’t be happier to disappoint! We’re just getting started, and can’t wait to see what year number two is going to bring!

One Week With Tim Ritchie, Part II

Jul. 28 Articles, Behind the Scenes, Racing, Training 2 comments

Ladies and Gentlemen of Level Legion, here is the thrilling conclusion to One Week With Tim Ritchie. When we last left him, he was going to bed on Wednesday night. Did he wake up on Thursday morning? Will he drink coffee? Did he go for a run? We really purposely worked that cliff-hanger in there. In all seriousness, it was a good look at the importance of a down week for an elite competitor, and it offered good advice for all of us. Okay, enough stalling. Let’s see how the rest of Tim’s week went.

Thursday July 12th

8:00am – Alarm. Consistent sleep is a key part of rest. Rest is a key part of high training. Ergo, consistent sleep is a key part of training at the highest level! Go to bed, people!

8:01am – You know the deal by now – pretty happy at this point of the day.

9:00am – Mass, it’s all good!

10:00am – Do nothing. Seriously, I did nothing all day.

6:00pm – Arrive downtown to meet the Boston College Athletics Dept Corporate Challenge Team, of which I am a part. Despite this being my three weeks of rest, I decided to sneak this one run in so I could help out my team! We had snazzy BC shirts and were ready to rock. My coach was on the team with me and suggested I ought to at least do a mile warm-up so I don’t hurt myself, especially since I’d be sprinting off the line after having not run in 18 days. Sound advice!

It was hot and humid when the gun went off, so I decided to roll just behind the leaders to see how this thing would shake out. Five minute pace after a few nice days on the couch was pretty tough, but racing is a real love of mine and I was happy to be out on the road. At the halfway point of this 3.5-mile race, I made my move for the win. It was enough to break from the pack and establish a nice lead going into the last, long, straight mile of the course. With a half-mile to go, I really started to feel the heat, humidity and couch hours setting in and I thought “Oh, sugar! I better hold on to this thing!” As I looked back, I saw second place within range.  I rounded the bend onto Charles St, pretty sweaty and tired, but able to stick it out to break the tape.

This was a fun race and my team was so excited to see a BC employee win. Some photos later and trophy in hand I was able to meet up with the team at PF Changs for some grub and a few beverages. Snagged a ride home with Siobhan Breagy of New Balance, got some Wendy’s on the way, all was good in the world.

Running is a gift and should be enjoyed! Tonight was an example of not taking a race too seriously. Run when you can, rest when you need to and race because you love it!

Friday July 13th

8:00am – Woke up – sore!

8:01am – :) :) :)  

9:00am – Mass, praying to avoid the chaos of Friday the 13th!!

10:00am – Do NOT go running. Despite the brief detour last night, I am still on break until Monday. The soreness of the race helps squash the motivation to run anyway. Watch a little of the Tour from the couch.

3:00pm – Work at Heartbreak Hill Running Company (HHRC)! Great store in Newton, check us out! Sell some shoes, give out some free running advice, listen to a great soundtrack, close up shop.

Saturday July 14th

8:00am – Awake and glad to be.

8:01am – The best part of waking up is Folger’s in youuuuuur cup!!!

10:00am – Full day of work at South End Athletic Company (SEAC), sister store of HHRC. Shoes will cost you but the advice and the banter is free all day.

10:00pm – Early to bed tonight to fight off a pending cold (sick in summer?!). When I do start running on Monday I want to be healthy and ready to rock and roll.

Sunday July 15th

8:00am – Up and at ‘em. Last day of the rest phase.

8:01am – ….

10:00am – Back at SEAC for a full day of sales.

5:00pm – Sunday Mass, like all the others, but even better.

10:00pm – Off to bed, but tonight’s dreams will not be full of sugar plum fairies. Rather, the past three weeks have done exactly what they were meant to do. My body is rested and recovered from the miles and the races of the past six months. My mind is refreshed from having to be laser focused and driven. My heart is hungry to get back to work. These past three weeks have been some of the most important weeks of my training for the whole year. Without them, all of the work behind and the work ahead would not be able to happen on the level that it does. It was a great three weeks down and when I start up on Monday – I am coming back with a vengeance!

That’s it?! Oh sugar! I want more. That sugar line might be one of my favorites that we’ve published on here. Again, great stuff from Tim and sound advice for all us: enjoy it to the max while you do it, but be sure to get plenty of rest and give yourself the chance to recover. Watch out for Tim in upcoming races and here On The Level.

One Week With Tim Ritchie, Part I

Jul. 25 Articles, Behind the Scenes, Training no comments

Back in June I interviewed Tim Ritchie after the BAA 10k. In the interview, he mentioned that he was going to be starting a three week rest phase, and I was very curious about that. For one thing, it was hard to imagine someone that good taking three consecutive weeks completely off. Giving your body enough of a chance to recover is an important part of training, but also a part that gets overlooked. Here’s an outline of a week in the life of an elite that doesn’t involve running, straight from Tim himself.

This is the week of 7/9-7/15. This is my third consecutive week of rest, as part of my standard time off from running each summer. This is what goes down when running is out of the picture. Nothing too crazy, just getting in the needed rest, physically and mentally after a long Winter-Spring season. In this case, rest means NOT running, minus the one exception you will see on Thursday.

Monday July 9th

8:00am – Alarm goes off after a nice 9.5 hour sleep, bizarre dreams per usual.

8:01am – COFFEE!!!! Chug-Chug-Chug (best minutes of my day…). I usually sit with my cup for a few and give thanks for a new day as I check for important emails and pour over the latest on The Level. Some toast with peanut butter is made and eaten during.

9:00am – Mass at St. Columbkille in Brighton. It’s about a 15 minute walk there, and 15 mins back, and if I really think about it, this time with Jesus might edge out coffee in the end…

10:00am –  I do NOT go for a run!

10:30am – Big meeting with some heavy hitters in the world of athletes’ ministry in Boston as we plan out some events we want to host in the fall. I coordinate a ministry for athletes at Boston College and these rest weeks are providing a nice time to plan, reflect and prepare for the fall.

1:00pm – Head to my office at Boston College (where I am the Asst. Track Coach) to get some work done. I do not have a car, so all transportation is bike or walk.

5:00pm – Make some dinner and feast. Despite not running, still eating a ton and packing on the pounds during these three weeks, so I will have something to work with when I begin the next season.

6:00pm – Roomie is home from his boring full-time job and we watch five straight episodes of Homeland on demand to finish off the season. If you have not seen this show, see it. Season 2 begins in September and you do not want to miss it. When it starts we will be watching it every Sunday – come on over. Nothing like on demand to help log the couch miles!

11:30pm – Read other roommate a bedtime story, and hit the sheets, a little later than normal, but that show is so dang good I had to finish it.

Tuesday July 10th

8:00am – Alarm, only 8.5hrs this time.

8:01am – True happiness in the form of delicious black liquid with a little cream. Email, reject Facebook friend requests, Level, tweet tweet.

9:00am – Mass, praying for the Level Legion.

10:00am – I do NOT go running! Nor do I even want to as I start to fry up some eggs, toast my bread and grab the Chipotle Sauce out of the fridge. This sauce will literally change your life (apparently Jeannette and I both firmly believe in life-altering foods). I grab my 2x 2-egg sandwiches, another cup of coffee and I plant myself on the couch to catch up on the Tour de France. Fun to think that these athletes are at their peak right now competing in the race of the year while I am doing absolutely nothing. Love it.

12:00pm – Do nothing.

2:00pm – Some emailing and a bit of work for BC.

5:00pm – Dinner. I am no chef, but I make a mean orzo pasta salad with chicken. Usually yields about one to two billion servings, which will be lunch and dinner over the next two days.

7:00pm – Back at St. Colombkille to set up for the first ‘Let it Rain’ young adult holy hour. This is part of our attempt to unite the Catholic 20-somethings of the Boston/Brighton area. If you are interested holla at us (let.it.rain.holyhour@gmail.com)! All are welcome!

7:30pm – Praise the Lord

9:00pm – Grab a beverage with some people from the holy hour at the local Brighton watering hole. Some good chit-chat with some good people.

11:00pm – Beddy-bye.

Wednesday July 11th

8:00am – Alarm, 9hrs solid.

8:01am – Heaven liquefied. Emails, post funny pic of myself onto my sister’s wall, Level Renner.

9:00am – Mass up the road. Do these 15 min walks count as my exercise for the day? Yes.

10:00am – Think about going for a run. Don’t run.

12:00pm – Up to campus for a bit of work. I only work part time, for all of you wondering why I am never working. Part-time work + three weeks off from running = full time chillin’.

6:00pm – Orzo pasta salad – not quite sick of it yet. Beat everyone at Jeopardy (…). Some guests come over for a nice night out on our back porch as we roast marshmallows over the grille. Not bad ‘City S’mores.’ Good night in good company and my jokes were hit or miss. Porch is always open – the Legion is invited.

With all his couch time lately, I might be able to hang with Tim in this part of his training. Maybe I’ll take him up on that Sunday night offer, especially since I don’t get Showtime! Part II will be coming in the next couple of days, so keep checking back. Also check out Tim’s blog if you’d like to see what goes on in between his Level appearances.
