If you say so. The day you actually back it up may be the day I choke on my cereal and buy...

Incredibly, that's my best since 1423K in 2000 (my 2nd worst year ever, to that point). 2. What were your highest and lowest mileage weeks? Highest 35K, lowest 0K. 3. What was your longest run? 10-mile Turkey Trot 4. How many (if at all) races did you enter? Six. (I wish I could find...

So what did you accomplish in the past decade of running? I started racing again after a 15 year layoff. I was shocked at how much I'd slowed down between age 34 and 49 What do you plan to accomplish in the next decade of running? Try and maintain my age-adjusted running prowess at 78-80 AG% Lessons learned: 1) I had about 4 years of ruined ultras due to my cramping problem. I'd cramp if it was warm, usually after 3 hours. I asked...

"Edward Edmonds" wrote in message ... Quite honestly though, I have a secret fetish for ultras, I actually plan on doing a 60k B2B training run early next year, 60k on Day 1 spend the night and then back. Don't do it!! You'll never go back! If the badwater flick tickled your fetish, you're already screwed and just waiting for the kiss. I think you are well trained and do very well. -D

Interesting admonition. "Talk is cheap". Do you say it to yourself in the mirror when you get a chance? How do you know Virginia hasn't been being helped all along? Virginia can only be helped by us indirectly, because she feels that the "system" should help her, and she's correct. The wonderful thing is that when she gets people to look at the system and to change it, she is helping a lot more...

"Johnny golden" wrote I've got a question about pacing oneself. I've recently purchased a heart rate monitor and decided to get a bit more serious about running. Trying to get faster. The first principle of endurance training is that first you establish your base mileage without any hard efforts. Typically this is 75% ish effort, with maybe a few short moderate pickups to loosen things up now and then. Just...

"rick++" wrote in message ... So what did you accomplish in the past decade of running? Got more into running, though I've been running as a part of cross training for over 25 years. In the past decade I explored the longer distances a bit. I've run several ultras, and I've done the escarpment trail run the last 5 years. Notwithstanding that more or different training might improve my ultra performance...
