Another NBA draft has come and
gone and many former college players
are going to be millionaires.
Chris Webber was selected No. 1

ed to the Golden State Warriors for
Anfemee Hardaway and three firstround
choices. This was the first
time since the Cleveland Cavaliers
acquired Brad Daugherty in 1986
that the No. 1 pick was traded.
Enough of history. This draft was
very rich in talent so no one really
hurt themselves. Let's get down to
business and see how some teams
and players did.
Orlando's - acquisition of
Hardaway gives them a great comPL

that Scott Skiles was not the one to
lead them to the Promised Land.
Why they chose Geert Hammink,
Shaq's backup at LSU, is anyone's
guess.
The Detroit Pistons got immediate
backcourt help by having backto-back
first round picks. Lindsey
Hunter and Allan Houston are
going to be the heir apparents to
Isiah Thomas and Joe Dumars. A
pretty tall order, but for these two
great athletes, it's a rather easy one.
The Seattle Supersonics got

the Lakers to numerous titles in the

to help a team that could have won
50 games last season if it was not
for injuries. Look for them to get
back to the foim of 1991.
J. R. Rider gets the award for
talking the most trash before he
puts on a Minnesota Timberwolf
uniform. I mean he already
promised to win the Slam Dunk
title if he was entered. Look for him
to be Rookie of the Year however.
Shawn Bradley, the guy who
hasn't played basketball in two
years was taken second. Is he a risk
for the Philadelphia 76'ers, considering
they already have a T 6" player?
No way. He is more coordinated
thon CAmo nonnlo rtitro Kim
for. After all he batted .400 as a
baseball player in high school.
Too bad for little Bobby Hurley.
He is going to the pathetic
Sacramento Kings. It's good for
him that he won a lot at Duke
because he won't win too many
games here.
Jamal Mashburn already has his
own shoes coming out, "Monster
Mashes." Cool name. New Dallas
Maverick's coach Quinn Buckner
hopes they will bring some victories
to a team that was awful last season.
Who will be the big flop? Who
will be the surprise? Will any of
these players hit the dreaded
"wall?" Can any of these guys
guard Michael Jordan? Only time
will tell.

Every year more people turn to ;
running as their only way of exercising.
J
Whether running only for recre- i
ational purposes or planning to ]
compete in road races, beginners ,
do not usually bother to find out
enough about how they should 1
train and prepare for such a physi- 1
cal strain. It is not surprising,
therefore, when errors in training
lead to injuries.
"Most recreational runners try
to do too much, too soon," said
Mark Bedenbaugh, a training con- sultant
and two-time State Coach
of the Year at Pelion High School.
"Preparation for distance running (
takes months, and it should be very
slow and gradual."
One should increase the amount k
of weekly training by only 10 per- (
cent. So if you start with 25 miles 1
your first week, you should not *
increase your mileage by more 1
than 3 miles over the next week of 1
training, Bedenbaugh said.
Recreational runners tend to get i
greedy, push too hard and injuries
such as sore ligaments or tendinitis t
can catch up with you.

How should one train for longlistance
running?
Eric Ashton, Olympic marathon
rials qualifier and member of the
strictly Running team in
Columbia, combines distance ranting,
speed work, swimming and
>icycling. He stresses the imporance
of sprinting, even if you are a
narathoner.
"The myth that speed equals
njury is wrong," Ashton said.
Quick running drills develop style
hat prevents injuries."

nal runners
both Ashton and Bedenbaugb prefer
two strong sessions of speed
work, preferably on Tuesday and
Thursday, with Tuesday being the
hardest day.
Those anaerobic exercises with
short recovery periods in between
series of half-mile or mile repeats
prepares a body for the lack of
oxygen during the race,
Bedenbaugh said.
The longest runs, between 12
and 18 miles, come on Sundays,
with Monday, Wednesday and
Friday reserved for easy aerobic
six- to eight-mile runs. This is, of
course, assuming one is already in
top shape.
Ashton's Monday training, however,
differs from those of most
other runners. He tries to prepare
his body for marathon efforts, so
he runs about 90 minutes at the
same pace he would run during a
marathon. Ashton considers
Monday the most important day of
his training.
If you plan to start running or
you are not sure if you are doing it
right, consider Ashton's advice:
Keep it fun, and do some speed
work, even if you are running only
for your health.
