Maybe he should?

Please, Jon. He's barely tolerable as it is.

So prove it! GumTree 10K this Saturday. Come on down. Still time to
enter. I'll be there, looking for a PB for that distance.

He only ran three miles, and he didn't say how long it took him to do so. A
10K is twice that long, and the organizers generally pack up and go home
after two hours or so.

When you're right, you're right.

I run slow, Maxi. 9-10 minute miles...and easy jog to keep my legs
strong and my heart working properly. I genereally build to a full run
in the last 1/4 and sprint the last. I also train with light weights,
high reps. I'm off today, but tomorrow I'll do another short run.

Certainly nothing wrong with that, a good training pace. It just
doesn't support your contention that no one who posts here can match
your speed. Busted again.

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. I've been gradually switching to bicycling over
the past year or so, thanks to aging knees. Less impact. I also
rollerblade--I won three criteriums (criteria?) last year in my age
group--over 45.

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.

You won 3 crits. Are you racing USCF? Usually the guys that still race over
45 are very good, pretty much untouchable by guys just entering the sport
(cycling). Or are those rollerblade crits?

Amen!

Those speeds are very respectable for the given age but not
necessarily fast. If sub 8 is a conversational pace it is the correct
pace for distance training. depends on the individual. And no,
"anyone" cannot necessarily run fast.

A sprint will get your HR up without
damage to knees and ankles.

For conditioning it is heart rate over time that matters. Occaisonal
short sprints don't do it, but are better than nothing. You need
intervals or tempo runs alternating with conversational distance. At
59, I run thirty miles a week with a long run of 6.3 miles, a day off,
and a day of 440 intervals (which I hate, but are necessary so I won't
be embarrassed in competition). My ankles and knees are holding up
fine. I run most miles on trails rather than pavement in support of
those knees.

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.

Not necessarily. Biking is still heart rate over time and working the
muscles. But the way you run is fine.

What an idiotic statement!
