Run Run Away

Question:
I just finished the London marathon, on average 30mpw during the last 6 months with one long run of 18miles and 2 10 mile runs in the last two weeks before marathon. I averaged 9 min/mi and was looking good for a 4hr marathon until I reached mile 21, and was [...]

Question:
"Carbing up" in reference to cardio, is generally for those people who are running a grotesque amount (5+) miles, marathon running.  For the typical person on this newsgroup who walks 2 miles or around their block it is not a neccessity nor would I recommend it. It is great that you [...]

Question:
Dear Jennifer, I’d like to focus on 1500m/1600m, just because I think you can only do a few things really well, and I’d like to do this well if I’m going to spend so much time doing it.  800m seems too short to me.  I am really good at pushing myself [...]

Question:
My sport is triathlon (sprint to middistance) What does that mean, exactly?
Triathlon’s the sport that has you swimming, biking and running in the same event; sprint-distance describes the really short races (may take an hour or less to complete, depending), mid-distance is the most common type [...]

Question:
Very good suggestion, Mike. As kids, we don’t often think in terms of distance (miles or km’s) but rather time… but even then, not the duration of things, but rather in relation to our schedule of our daily activities… waking up, breakfast, playing, school, etc, etc, dinner, homework, bedtime. I [...]

Question:
Hello Caleb, Gee, Carmen — I don’t think that much! And frankly, I wouldn’t lie, wouldn’t do things unethical, etc. Interesting view, though. I sure can imagine psychologists doing something like this, especially before the Zimbardo studies came out of Stanford (prison experiment) and the [...]

Question:
Marathon training is 4 miles three times a week with 0 miles three times a week, then a long one on the weekends. Sounds kind of lay back to me. A good training for health would be 5 miles per day, six days per week. This sounds like a more healthy way [...]

Question:
The story does come with a caveat though:
It’s just another story of someone who went out to run a marathon without proper training, and then acts surprised it was painful. The marathon was the easiest race I ever ran in terms of pain it caused me. Bill R.

Response:
My point was, [...]
