Smokin' athletes! Who says and sports don't mix?

Though they compete in marathons and triathlons, go hiking and train at the gym, these athletes can't kick the cigarette habit. Though they compete in marathons and triathlons, go hiking and train at the gym, these athletes can't kick the cigarette habit. ONE OF the biggest secrets of the fitness world has nothing to do with supplements, steroids or spandex. It is the almost implausible combination of exercise and smoking. There are people, it seems, who do both. We're not talking about mall walkers who light up once a week. These are men and women who compete in marathons and triathlons and go hiking and train at the gym -- who also have a pretty steady cigarette habit. In a recent online poll sponsored by Runner's World magazine, 2% of the 2,500 people who responded said they d, unbeknownst to their running friends. About 4% said they d but that their running buddies were in the know. Bart Yasso has seen his share of rs in the more than 1,000 races he's completed. The chief running officer of Runner's World magazine and author of "My Life on the Run" says some runners light up before and after races. He even has a few friends who run and . "They're very secretive about it," he says. "They don't want anyone to know, and I know they're not proud of it. These are people you never would have guessed were rs. I encourage them to quit. It's that addictive element -- I understand where they're coming from." Yasso was once a r himself, but quit years ago when he started running. Smoking has something of a place in the world of endurance sports. The Pikes Peak Marathon in Colorado began as a challenge in 1956 from a nonsmoking doctor, Arne Suominen, to any rs who thought they could beat him to the top of the peak and back down. A nonr won, and the three rs who ran never finished the race. A r did beat Suominen to the top, but decided to a cigarette instead of heading back. The rs profiled here are divided on how they ultimately see their habit, with some defiant and others wrestling with how and when they should try to quit. But for now, smoking and exercise continue to run in sync. [email protected]
