<br />
The August 13th, 2016 <a href="http://www.halfmarathonsearch.com/half-marathons-illinois" target="_blank">The Biggest Loser Race Series Chicago Half Marathon</a> in Illinois is a walker friendly event, and a great event for first time half marathoners. The Race series is one of the most supportive half marathon series out there in the USA for back of the pack participants and first timers. They "get it" when it comes to accepting the changes in the half marathon industry. The industry has shifted to accepting all levels, abilities, and speeds, focusing on the finisher, and not the time. Admittedly (and unfortunately), there is still a big portion of the half marathon industry that aren't adapting to change, but The Biggest Loser Race Series is not one of them.<br />
<br />
Race series shirt and a tote bag for all participants, race medal, post race food, and tons of cheering and support! For more information, visit the Illinois half marathons page and scroll to August half marathons.<br />

<b>Race review</b> for the Souther Illinois Spring Classic by <a href="http://www.halfmarathonclub.com/" target="_blank">Fifty States Half Marathon Club</a> member Jim Calcutt:<br />
<br />
<br />
Completed the Southern Illinois Spring Classic in Lawrenceville IL. Not a new state, but gives me 18 halves overall. Good small town race - good course, decent water stop support. Most of it was on rural roads through cornfields so there weren't any crowds for support. If you like small town races this could be one for you to consider. If that's not the case, fear not, Illinois has many halves to choose from. :o)<br />

<b>Cold Weather Training<br />Article By: Paul “Crazy Legs” Stofko RRCA Running Coach <br />November 3, 2011</b><br />
<br />
Cold
weather training requires a little extra planning and protection before
you head out the door. Your body loses heat quickly in cold weather due
to convection (heat loss due to motion), conduction (transfer of heat
due to temperature changes), evaporation of moisture, and radiation
(transfer of energy caused by the difference between skin temperature
and ambient temperature). The right layers will protect you from the
elements without weighing you down. Cold can take it toll on your
performance and comfort. And frostbitten skin is always a risk. But if
you take some simple precautions, you can maintain your mileage in
anything weather winter bring your way. <br />
<br />
The challenge
in dressing for winter training is not only to keep the winter chill and
wetness out, but to manage the heat and moisture your body produces as
well. Even in subfreezing temperatures your body produces a lot of heat
and sweat. You can produce up to two liters per hour when running. Water
conducts heat away from your body 25 times faster than air – great in
summer, but dangerous in cold temperatures. Staying dry under your
layers is critical and can impact heart rate, as well as comfort,
dryness, and warmth. <br />
<br />
Here are some tips for dressing in layers: <br />
<br />
<b>First Layer </b><br />
<br />
Forget
cotton. It holds moisture next to your skin. Choose the new
lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics that hold a very small percentage
of their weight in moisture. Performance microfibers hold less than on
percent of their weight in water compared to 17% wool or 8% cotton. <br />
<br />
<b>Second Layer </b><br />
<br />
If
you running in very cold weather, you may need a middle layer to trap
the warmth your muscles generate. Choose a layer that produces maximum
warmth with minimum bulk. Synthetic fibers have an advantage of staying
drier than natural ones. <br />
<br />
<b>Outer Layer </b><br />
<br />
Fibers
have been developed that block the elements without trapping too much
heat and moisture underneath. Look for waterproof fabrics that vent. <br />
<br />
<b>Hands and Head </b><br />
<br />
Up
to 40% of your body’s heat loss occurs from the head due to a large
blood supply, extra surface area, and the mucus membranes of the nose
and mouth. Choose thin microfiber hats and lightweight gloves liners for
your hands. <br />
<br />
<b>Don’t forget your feet </b><br />
<br />
Cotton is a bad choice for socks. Look for synthetic socks that won’t hold moisture and become packed down when damp.</div>Half Marathon | Half Marathons | Half Marathon Blogs | Halfmarathonsearch.com | Fifty 50 States Half Marathon Clubhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07586481839714641248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2265572790394096156.post-63531534304151091812011-10-09T16:40:00.000-06:002011-10-09T16:42:44.133-06:00Aurora Half Marathon in Aurora, Illinois November 2011<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
