Reborn Marathons
Reborn marathons. by Jonathan Beverly. A decade later, these marathons and many others existed only in the memories of aging running boomers.
http://www.rrca.org/publicat/rbmarf97.htm

Extractions: During the running boom of the late 1970s and early 1980s, marathons sprouted throughout the country in places like Philadelphia; Madison, Wisconsin; and the Jersey Shore. A decade later, these marathons and many others existed only in the memories of aging running boomers. Today, a new marathon has been born in each of these locations, giving evidence of a new running boom and a new generation of marathoners. Marathoning on the Jersey Shore began in 1972 in January with an out-and-back course. "It was cold! Cold and windy," remembers Bob Glover, author and coach at the New York Road Runners Club, about the 1976 race. Indeed, records indicate a wind chill of 15 below zero that year. Despite the daunting conditions, the race increased from 120 starters in 1972 to 560 in 1977. "Like many runners in those days, I ran 5 or 6 marathons a year," Glover explains. "Jersey Shore was a stepping stone to Boston, a training run. Of course, you don't do that unless you're pretty serious." After the race date was changed to December in hopes of having better weather, the field increased to a peak of 3,050 starters in 1978. The higher numbers, however, led to controversy with Sea Bright, whose main artery was blocked by runners. With the race barred from Sea Bright's narrow isthmus, the course changed to two smaller loops. In 1982 the date was moved back another month to mid-November, putting it in direct competition with the burgeoning New York City Marathon.

Timeline of events Key Points It's a long, long way. The modern marathon is run over 26.2 miles or 42.195 km There are two different kinds of fibre in muscle: 'Slow twitch' fibres are the key to successful marathon running. If a person has a preponderance of fast-twitch muscles there is no chance of him or her becoming a world-class marathoner. They might however make an ideal sprinter. The marathon runner needs to have a large proportion of slow twitch fibres in their muscles. This characteristic is largely inherited but there is some evidence that training can make a small difference to the proportions of the different fibre types. Findings suggest that a marathon runner must avoid any sprint training at distances less than 100m. Likewise sprinters must never engage in endurance exercise.
