Romanian Constantina Dita TOMESCU "Pusa" - Pekin Olympic Marathon WinnerA few years ago I had the honor to work for the Romanian team as a translator at Chiba Ekiden, where I met Constantina for the first time. She was as beautiful and full of energy as she is now. It seems that time works in her favor, like it works for a good wine. This time she came as a guest running 10K at the Tokyo Marathon (March 22nd 2009). She immediately recognized me, warmly hugged me and happily let me take pictures with her, also giving me an a signed poster. What can I say? She is the best! When she ran the Olympics my heart was with her all the way. You can imagine how proud she made me feel. I really love her and so do all Romanians no matter where they live on this world. Thank you, Pusa! 日曜日、3月22日に素晴らしい再会いがありました：北京オリンピックで優勝したルーマニア人のコンスタンティナ・トメスクさん!彼女と最初出会ったのは、私は千葉駅伝でルーマニアのチームの通訳をしたときでした。目の美しさ（深い青い目、お人形みたい）や人の優しさが印象的でした。相変わらず、全然変わっていないです。逆にもっと美しく輝いています。 更に出会ったのは：ポルトガルのマラソンランナー（マラソンの女神）ロザ・モタと日本で一番愛されている有森裕子さん。インターヴィウイベントでの仕事関係でこんな素晴らしいサイン入り写真を撮るきかいがありました。 Maratonista Portugheza Rosa Mota. ポルトガルのマラソン選手：ロザ・モタRosa Mota, (born June 29, 1958) is a Portuguese former marathon runner, one of her country's foremost athletes. She is also considered to have been one of the best marathon runners of the 20th century. Mota ran 21 marathon races between 1982 and 1992. She averaged two marathons a year for a decade and won 14 of those races. Rosa Mota carried the Olympic Flame along the roads of Athens before the 2004 Summer Olympics in Greece.Valeriu TOMESCU, Rosa Mota, Pusa Dita Tomescu, us, actress Yuko UenoConstantina's coach Valeriu, ex-husband was overjoyed to see how much the Japanese people love Pusa. She was impressed to see that the Japanese people really love sports and that 350,000 people raced, this being only 10% of the people that have applied for it. She also praised the quality of the streets and the enthusiasm of the supporters.Maratonista ARIMORI Yuko 日本で一番愛されている、元マラソンランナー有森裕子有森裕子さんのブログ：http://animo.aspota.jp/ たぶんテレビにも放送され、大きなイベントでした。私も80劇団の上野裕子も一緒に同行して、写真を沢山撮りましたので、楽しんでください。Maybe some of you saw the interview live on TV. 他の選手：レスリングの山本姉妹：みゆ＆せいこ(山本ＫＩＤの妹たちや水泳選手(男子100m背泳ぎ)：宮下純一、など。Seiko Yamamoto - 4-time World Championships freestyle wrestling winnerMiyu Yamamoto - 3-time World Championships freestyle wrestling winner Junichi Miyashita - 2008 Olympics 400 m swim relay bronze medalist (he is so cute!) 有森さんの素晴らしい活躍に感動です著名人34人目は元マラソン選手の有森裕子さんです。1966年12月17日生まれ いて座 岡山出身。 日本体育大学卒業後、リクルートへ入社。 小出義雄さんの指導を受ける。 初マラソンは1990年大阪国際女子マラソン。 2時間32分台の記録で6位に入賞する。 この記録は当時の初マラソン日本最高記録であった。 1991年の同大会で、2時間28分台の日本最高記録を樹立（2位） バルセロナ五輪では銀メダル、アトランタ五輪では銅メダルを獲得。 2002年にはアスリートのマネジメント会社「ライツ」設立。 2007年3月12日に日本陸上競技連盟の理事に新しく就任。 国連人口基金親善大使など幅広く活躍している。 有森さん、お疲れ様でした。

Danny Draper is the creator and author of EnerChiFitness programChiRunning® A Revolutionary Approach to Effortless, Injury-Free Running“T’ai chi is the mother of all martial arts, based on the premise that all movement and power originates from your center, not your arms and legs.For centuries, the Chinese have studied animal movement and found that all movement in the body revolves around a central axis (along the spine) while the arms and legs remain as relaxed as possible and act only as conduits for the force generated by your core. When these principles of alignment and relaxation are applied in ChiRunning and ChiWalking, efficiency increases and impact with the ground decreases. You can run farther, faster or more often without increasing your risk of injury. Your body no longer breaks down because you’re practicing to run and walk with more fluidity with every step, while using the pull of gravity for propulsion.” LINKS http://www.echifitness.com/ This program is instructional programs on running and walking the best possible way. http://www.chirunning.com/blog/ VIDEOS

I don't like running, but I found a wonderful technique I want to tryAnyway, I found a wonderful blog that posted great tips for marathon runners. The blog belongs to Danny and the article was written by Dr. Mark Cucuzzella, a family practice doctor and faculty member of West Virginia University. Extraordinarily, he can run a sub-2:35 marathon every year for the past 20 years. He recently ran the Marine Corps Marathon (2:34) at age 42 and beat the time he ran it 20 years ago when he was 22! He has been practicing ChiRunning for the past two years and will soon become a Certified ChiRunning Instructor. Please read the original post in Danny's blog.http://www.chirunning.com/blog/ A Simple Strategy for Running Your Best Marathon"As you enter the week prior to running your marathon here are a few visualizations to help you set your plan. Running your best marathon is part art, science, guts, faith in what you can do, and a little luck. Running your best 10k is mostly about fitness.The best analogy I can think of is this: if you have trained your body properly with the right mix of aerobic level training and some up tempo stuff in the weeks leading up to your event, you have built your efficient hybrid engine ready to race the marathon. Many of you have likely driven in a Prius and watch the subtle shifts between gas and electric on the screen. You do not perceive these shifts. Your engine runs on gas, electric, or a mix- depending on the effort. You are starting the race with one gallon in the tank- assuming you have eaten a nice meal the night before with a breakfast top off. • If you are in all gas mode, your engine will run about 1.5 hours at a strong pace….and you will be done before the finish. • If you are all electric you can go all day, but really slow. • If you are using the proper mix you will go quick and efficient for the first 20+ miles, then fire up pure gas in the last few. The glucose utilizing pathway is the gas. This is your stored glycogen and blood glucose (pasta meal and breakfast) - easy to access for ready energy. The fat utilizing pathway is the electric. In the marathon you must be in hybrid until the last few miles. Hybrid is where your energy (ATP) is coming from both sources. Many runners are in great “10k shape” (an all gas event), run their marathon in the gas mode- and usually crash. No nutrition and glycogen sparing factors apply in races of less than an hour. In the marathon, top end fitness matters little and can only be applied very near the finish. So how do you know you are running in your best hybrid mode? This is difficult because the sense is not as profound as aerobic/anaerobic. A slight increase from your optimal pace will switch you from hybrid to all gas without you realizing it, and the effects are felt miles later. You must rehearse a bit in training. I focus on relaxation and breathing. If I’m breathing one cycle to 5 steps, then I’m hybrid. If I breathe any faster I’m using glucose as sole fuel. Belly breathe. Allow lower belly to blow up like a beach ball on inhalation and pull your belly button back to your spine on exhalation. Then you will fill the lower lung areas where oxygen exchange occurs. Notice the breathing efforts of those around you and many are rapid breathing and they tend to suffer somewhere past half way. Rehearse complete relaxation from the top down: eyes, jaw, shoulders, allow your legs to relax and extend behind you, relax and soften your knees and ankles. Find you own cue for this. In the last 3-4 miles you will be all gas to maintain the same speed as fatigue sets in. The breathing is usually on a 3 to 4 step per breath cycle- that is OK. Still stay relaxed and use same relaxation cues. Now a few extra ways to get from start to finish quicker on the same gallon. • If you can add a little gas along the way then you can go more into gas mode. This works a little at best. If you’re running too fast you shunt all blood to working muscles and nothing digests. If you are in hybrid during the early going you can continually add fuel. The key here is not the specific fuel, but the right pace. A gel every 25 minutes is easy to digest and tops off the tank. Carry them with you at the start. The weight is nothing compared to the benefit you will get. If you do the gels you can drink water instead of the energy drinks which are often pretty awful on the run.
• Draft if you can. • Maintain a constant effort level on uphills. Your pace will slow. You can easily use all your gas here if your effort level increases. Shorten your stride, relax, and use your arms more. Then allow gravity to take you downhill. The first hills of the race will ruin your day if you take them too quickly. • If you are having a “bad patch” try to refocus on relaxing, maybe fuel a bit, and have faith in your training and race plan."

I love sports, yet I procrastinate! But I use my laziness to my advantage!Being lazy worked to my advantage because it forced me to find the most effective way toexercise less time with most results in burning fat, cellulite, and gain strenght and endurance. I am still looking for ways to improve my program. I do not try to work "against" my laziness, but work with it, or take advantage of it. So, I tend to do shorter intense exercises and never do long distance running or swimming. I never liked doing something for too long time. Also I maintain my health by being too lazy to cook, and we all know cooked food is very bad for health. What I do instead, I just shop fresh produce, wash it thorougly in a special device that eliminates toxic chemicals, cut and eat! I never bother to stay in the kitchen for longer than 5 min. It drives me crazy to be there forever. So, even when I am eating raw, preparing sophisticated gourmet dishes is not my thing, I seldom feel like doing such a dish. The most I do, is a blended tomato soup or green leaves juice with lemon using the blender, or a simple salad. And my breakfast is always only a piece of fruit! If I get lazier than this, I have to become a breatharian! But this works to my advantage, for the simpler way I do things, the more I benefit from it health wise. Also, being stingy can work to your advantage: never buy food that is detrimental to your health: never buy food that comes in a box or a can. Just buy fresh! Not only that you save money on food, but you also save money on doctors and medicine. And time! You cannot afford to spend time on going to the doctor or treatment, or skip work. I mean, if you have a choice of being in perfect health, spend less money and less time on things you don't like to do, why not invest upfront into your health? With the remaining time, I study, work and have fun! Why not? Just do 10 min of exercise every day + buy fresh and eat fresh food!This is my simple secret for not getting sick, taking a single pill or ever going to the doctor since 1995!I think you can do it too!For info on why short time intense exercises mixed with low intensity intervals are best than long training, read my previous article or go directly to the original article: http://www.naturecastproducts.com/cardio/?t=THB For what type of exercises are best to do, read my previous blog articles under SPORTS I DO: http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/chikichan1127/folder/1543335.html?m=l On the benefits of raw food eating read:

Get Healthier Than You’ve Ever Been in Just 10 Minutes a Day!Get the complete article by Kim Jones here: http://www.naturecastproducts.com/cardio/?t=THBWhen You do Long Sets of Exercise You Make Your Heart, Lungs and Muscles Shrink!Most of these programs have you doing these big long work outs. Sometimes they can be for a full hour. But, here’s the problem with that.When your body is pushed for long term endurance stress it does the natural thing it should do. It starts to slow down your metabolism for one thing. Then, it tries to work more efficiently, so it can last. It is true that if you start doing something like working on jogging long distances your heart, lungs and legs will develop endurance so you can keep running further and further. But, your body is accomplishing this by rationing out it’s expenditure of energy. Muscles can actually shrink! Just look at a marathon runner! So, according to the flawed rationale they should have big thick muscular legs the size of tree trunks, right? But, they don’t, do they? Not even close. They have pencil thin legs. And, they certainly don’t look fit and robust to me. Short Burst Training Gets ResultsEverything is different when you train your body with short burst training.During vigorous exercise the body needs a lot more energy. It gets this by breathing in deeper and faster and rushing the oxygen to the muscles in dilated blood vessels. This extra oxygen is then used to release more energy, needed to meet the higher level of demand. Soon a point is reached when the body cannot breathe any faster or harder, and aerobic respiration alone cannot meet the enhanced energy demands. So how do muscle cells get the extra energy they need? They get it by respiring anaerobically. The Key to Fat Burning is an Oxygen DebtDuring anaerobic metabolism, the breakdown of glucose stops at an early point, producing lactic acid and two molecules of ATP. This anaerobic metabolism produces what’s called an oxygen debt.This debt is repaid later when oxygen becomes available. When a skeletal muscle is heavily worked, the acute soreness that results is due partly to a buildup of lactic acid. The presence of lactic acid can also be felt during exercise as a burning sensation in the muscles. When you do short bursts of more intense exercise your body builds up this oxygen debt and continues to repay it after you’ve stopped the exercise. This process leads the body to burn off quick fuel sources such as fat deposits. At the same time the body automatically realizes it needs to build larger more powerful muscles to handle these quick intense bursts of exercise. If you want proof that short burst exercise leads to lean powerful muscles as opposed to the shrunken muscles of long duration exercisers just look at the physique of a sprint runner in comparison to the marathon runner’s legs above. A sprint runner trains by doing short intense bursts of short runs, so he or she can build up strength and endurance. The science behind interval trainingThe intensity of the high intensity bursts of exercise should be high enough that you would not be able to maintain them for long.During these periods, your body will use the anaerobic system for energy. As we discussed the by-product of this is lactic acid. If you do low intensity exercises in between the high intensity bursts, the heart and lungs must work to repay the oxygen debt by delivering oxygen to get rid of the lactic acid. This period trains the body’s aerobic energy system. The trick is, not to slow down too much during the lower intensity periods; you don’t want the heart rate to drop too much otherwise the aerobic training effect is reduced. Benefits of High Intensity Burst and and Low Intensity Interval TrainingAlternating your intensity is far more interesting than exercising at the same intensity for long periods of time.This kind of alternating between intense and low intensity exercises for a short duration burns more energy in less time. Your workouts can be shorter, more fun and burn more fat than with traditional cardio exercise. Working at high intensity also stimulates your metabolism, so that after you finish your workout, you’ll continue to burn fat at a higher rate than if you’d exercised for longer at a lower intensity. The cardio-vascular system is trained more quickly doing this type of training compared with longer periods of lower intensity exercise. Long duration endurance training is often associated with injuries because of the repetitive stresses placed on joints and soft-tissues. Because interval training is less repetitive, it is a good way to reduce risk of these types of injuries.
