14 the tribune thursday may 11 m78 by keith boleader under the guise of a mild mannered library assistant lurks a roan who claims to enjoy the gut wrenching experience of torturing his body for approximately 70 miles a week the man 27yearold george schlukbier new market works nights and on saturday at the whitchurch- stouffville library anil for the past year his passion has been to run and run and run his efforts will culminate in his first ever marathon race this coming sunday in ot tawa for the canadian commonwealth games trial however george a quiet man whose en thusiasm increases when talking about his sport didnt start runnning for any competitive reason only that i was feeling really down and one day i just decided to go out running he found that running was a way of zapping me with energy it im proved my mental and physical self greatly after that he was booked on it and now says that be feels the day isnt complete if he doesnt run and on the other band if s enhanced when be does xwben be first started george estimated be ran anywhere between 30to so miles a week ap proximately seven hours of running now however with the marathon just a few days off hes increased his training to 10 miles a day with 15 miles twice a week besides the time spent running george also works 18 hours a week at the library and another 40 hours a week at his research and in formation practice in newmarket he feels running has helped him maintain his long work hours as for the marathon georges goal is just to finish it thats the first objective theres going to be over 3000 runners there and a lot are in the world class so im really not concerned where i finish just that i do finish he hopes to run the 26 mile long race in three to zvt hours which averages out to a seven minute mile from start to finish in such a seemingly monotonous repetitious form of exercise the question of boredom arises george refuted that by commenting you never get bored for one thing it hurts too much also i enjoy the scenery ive run through all the seasons and theres always something- to see another way to get rid of boredom is to work with a partner which george does he runs with dr dave ruegg and george commented they have a good running relationship where if they want to talk fine if not then neither will feel uncomfortable discussing the pain aspect of long distance running george admitted when i first started it was very painful it took me about three months before i got rid of the stomach cramps i think the most important thing about running is to be in tune with your own body to control and overcome the physical aspects jbe pain george also hopes for a certain weather con dition for the ottawa marathon the worst weather would be a windy cold day i hate running into the wind what i prefer is no wind and sun not hot just warm its easier for the legs to remain loose george stated that after running 18 miles straight a person has to dig into his physical reserves and his body starts breaking down you run on desire alone after that many of the world class runners do a lot of physical damage to their body with that kind of constant pressure something has to give because of that george plans to take one or two weeks off with ab solutely no running after the event and depending on how he recovers will determine if george enters further marathons although he enjoys running there is one thing that bothers george about it and thats the old problem of bow other people reset to seeing him jogging along just because youre out there running everyone thinks they can stop you and ask all sorts of questions or directions they dont realize you dont want to be in terrupted while running and of course theres the few in cars that try to push you off the road in fact one day someone literally ran me off the road however this hasnt discouraged him and through his running he has had time to come up with a few things he con tends there are two types of runners one that does it for physical effects and the other for what george calls the altered state in other words to get high it has to me its when you get your third wind that it occurs george explained that he gets his first wind after running 10 minutes his second wind after an hour and on a rare oc casion achieves a third wind in the third wind i feel like i could run forever its like a tremendous boost i dont know why it happens but i feel like i could fly along with the physical ways to run george said there are also two mental ways on runs the first is the jogging technique you fantasize about anything but the physical sensation of what is happening to your body the other type is the physical monitor system where you know exactly what your body is doing and you are in tune with the sensations as for myself i do both overall george feels that running is such a- natural and total exercise it makes me feel good and has given me a greater awareness of myself and the en vironment i dont think id ever give it up partly because there are so many people who cant run such as the han dicapped and id hate to have missed the op portunity to do something as simple as running second
