Indeed.  Y'all are kicking ###

Yeah HS and college and then no racing again until my late 30s.  I'm now 41 and some of the flashes of Glory Days sometimes make very brief appearances, but I've learned the hard way that being old is about control. And not seeking that max stress effort on the body.  Recovery is by far the...

I'm all over the map with what I've considered fast and when.  And like others said it's a constant state of adjusting expectations based on age, experience and training.  If setting lifetime PRs were my only goal these days I wouldn't enjoy running at all because I will never approach PRs again...

Stepped on the scale today and I'm down to a svelte 167.5  :bowtie:

I find him quite enjoyable.  And articulate.  

Yikes good luck, FUBAR.  One of our daughters got HFMD two summers ago and it's more short term nuisance but it really sucks while you are going through it.   My Chiro basically gave me the you look good, only come as needed today.  Pinched nerve issue seems to have mostly worked its way out...

Same thing happened to me in Chicago 

I'm late to the party but Congrats Steve!  So cool...

Good luck!  I think you're ready for that.  Last time I tried a year plus ago I was in low 18s.  And you are in better shape than I was.  

Agree.  If you aren't sucking wind or HR going up dramatically to run the same or slower pace as you progress, seems all good.  Maybe the tempo wasn't too fast, MAC.  Maybe you got faster.  

Like once just out of curiosity or all the time? The former I can maybe understand, the latter is a weird fetish and/or gay.  

What these guys said.  I like making mine progression tempo runs, dropping the pace as I go.  I did 3 mile tempo yesterday and dropped the pace :15 for mile 2 compared to mile 1 and mile 3 was :12 faster than mile 2.  

Nice workout.  What was rest/recovery in between?  

Great race, MAC!!

Why is that hard to believe? A lot of the mystique with OJ was how he was remembered as one of the best power speed athletes ever. Even when this happened he was what mid to late 40s? And still a pretty big in shape dude. Seeing 5 foot nothing a hundred and nothing Cuba trying to play him -...

On behalf of Joe, you can't have the 10K thread

Nice run Jux! You and some other Strava guys inspired me and you asked before so...my first faster effort in months 3 mile Tempo 6:52 6:47 6:15 I didn't really know what to expect and the first Mile plus had a bit of an incline. So I didn't want to burn out and cut the tempo short...

Another interesting this from a running nerd perspective is how he trains. He runs longer speedwork interval type runs and really runs his non workout runs easy. Apparently runs around 7 minute pace. Which sounds fast to the average Joe but at his level for years guys have always run...

Sounds like a version of those Ragnar relays, Hang10. Yeah I don't know how much I'd like the running aspect of that but the comradery would be fun. Look at it this way, you got a hard day or workouts in.
