Chelsea Benson of Ithaca, New York, ran 2:42:27 at the California International Marathon, punching her ticket to Atlanta next February.
she recently bought for her home. Outside of running, she didn’t do any cross training, due to time constraints.“I am fortunate that I stay pretty healthy,” Benson said. “I also have a hard to doing anything ‘extra.’ I am negligent about core, mobility, and strength. I always tell myself that I’ll start doing it, and I stick with it for a few weeks until my training cycle gets demanding, then it’s the first thing to go.
Benson credits her spouse for being supportive while she wracks up those high miles. Her husband is a teacher, which allows him to care for the twins when school is out for the summer. Chelsea Benson running the 2019 USATF Half Marathon Championships in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; she finished in 1:17:29, placing 13th for women.“He’s very supportive of my running. He knows it’s a really important part of my life, and it’s an outlet for me,” Benson said. “I only run in the evening if I have to double, and when that’s on the schedule, I’ll try to do my double at lunch to avoid after-work runs. I like to reserve that time for my husband and kids.
“Before I was being coached, I would be really bad about making up my own workouts,” Benson said. “I would only do it if I felt like it.”Backed by a coach and months of solid training under her belt, Benson went into CIM with the goal of qualifying for the trails. Her plan, as instructed by Clemens, was “no racing until mile 20.” Throughout the race, she held an almost perfectly even mile pace of between 6:11 and 6:13 per mile. By mile 18, Benson still felt strong and powerful.
“I was able to pick off a lot of those women that were in the tight pack ahead of me,” Benson said, “And some of those women were also catching me. It was really motivating to be in that push and pull.” When Benson crossed the line in 2:42:27, it was a “holy crap” moment for her, she said.

Perfectionist Jon Gruden Forces ‘Hard Knocks’ To Film 78th Take Of Scene Where He Cuts RookieNAPA, CA—Determined to ensure the editing team “had enough coverage to work with,” perfectionist head coach Jon Gruden forced the ‘Hard Knocks’ production crew Wednesday to film 78 takes of a scene where he cuts a rookie running back. “I really liked how your face looked in that first take when I rattled off your major weaknesses—could you hit those moves with just a little more intensity?” said the Raiders signal-caller, who reviewed raw footage of the scene before instructing the 21-year-old halfback to adjust his chair to the left so Gruden could get a cleaner over-the-shoulder shot. “Actually, could you go back into the hallway and then walk into my office, so I can cut you again? I thought my ad-lib about what it means to be a Raider was pretty good, so I’ll try that again with a stronger inflection this time. Oh, and could you wipe the tears out of your eyes until I tell you to turn in your playbook? It doesn’t work if they come in too early. And now that I think about it, you probably shouldn’t be wearing that Raiders jersey either, wardrobe can get you a T-shirt.” At press time, Gruden had fired the ‘Hard Knocks’ crew and taken over all filming, directing, audio, and editing duties.
