Huge stories at the LA marathon, the NYC Half marathon. But let's shine the spotlight on a Alissa McKaig, a WNC runner who competed for the United States this past weekend at the World Cross Country Championships in Punta Umbria, Spain. McKaig ran the 8K course in 26:46 to place 26th overall. Alissa's performance helped the USA women capture their second consecutive Bronze at IAAF World Cross Country Championships.
Here's an interview that Alissa did with Runner's World in November, 2010.
Well done Alissa McKaig and thank you for representing WNC runners!

HOUSTON - In the first race of the 2011 USA Running Circuit (USARC), Mohamed Trafeh (Duarte, Calif.) and Jen Rhines (Mammoth Lakes, Calif.) outran some of America's top distance runners to take the respective men's and women's titles Saturday at the USA Half Marathon Championships, presented by Aramco Services Company.
Trafeh outran American Record holder Ryan Hall (Big Bear Lake, Calif.) to win the second USA road title of his career in 1:02:17. Rhines ran 1:11:14 to win her first road championship since 2005.

Interesting study.
..snip..
Of course, there are practical applications associated with these findings. If you have scheduled a 10K race for yourself, it probably makes sense to wait at least 72 hours post-race before conducting a highly strenuous running workout. It is hoped that the extra 24 hours (above and beyond 48 hours, which were not enough for hamstring recovery) would permit more-complete functional restoration of the hamstrings.
Naturally, if you find yourself running 10K heats in major competitions which are spaced 48 hours apart, it makes sense to try to qualify in the first heat without running one’s best time. The faster the first-heat effort, the greater will be the strain on the ‘strings.
An application which is usually forgotten when studies such as these are published is that athletes should do things in training which minimise the kind of hamstring trauma experienced by the 10K runners in this study. In particular, athletes who engage in sustained, hard running should develop a close-to-religious devotion to training exercises and drills which fortify the hamstrings during eccentric activity, including high-bench step-ups and bicycle leg swings (with and without resistance). Adherence to these exercises during training should strengthen the hams enough so that damage during intense efforts like a 10K race is reduced. Thus, recovery will be quicker.

Interesting to read this as I got a hamstring cramp (which never get) while soaking in the tub after yesterday's 10K race.
