Default New Dinghy

My running mates and I would leave you pretty far behind. Training for
a
half-marathon (two years ago) we averaged 6.5 to 7 minute miles--not
too
shabby for a bunch of old farts. Now we just run for conditioning, but
we
still average sub-8 miles.


Once again you failed to research anything, Maxi. Anyone can run fast,
but if your simply running for conditioning you're better off with less
sustained impact via slower miles. A sprint will get your HR up without
damage to knees and ankles. If you run the way I do, you can do it for
a long time and keep in better shape than with biking in most cases.
By the way, a marathon is 26 miles and up. Anything less is a run. Half
marathon is a term for halfwits.
