Re: IMCT Running Club
It has been two months since the Boston Marathon and I have just returned to the track after a long and heeling lay-off. There is a 5k in my town this weekend and I'm going to go for speed. I did nothing but run in training for the marathon, I have now switched it up and have been engaging in a weight training program at the gym. The few runs I have gone on I have been very fast and felt great, a lot of power.101Walterton wrote:My 18 week marathon training program starts today !

Good start. Don't be a dope like me and keep your feet in newer sneakers. I swear bum shoes were the start of my leg problems this past Spring.

Re: IMCT Running Club
I wore in a new pair ready to start the programme. I am doing this one by the book and following a recognised program that has been recommended.
The 10k run is to get my max vo2 speed, which is the speed you run at during tempo runs. Mine is 6:42 mins per mile.

Re: IMCT Running Club
Which I have just worked out is 4:18 mins per k. This is going to be tough !!!!!
Re: IMCT Running Club
I did track/cross country in high school and I still run maybe 10 miles a week. I'd love to run more, but it kick starts my metabolism too much.
PS - well done on that 10K time.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Yep. There's only one cure for a fast metabolism -- age. And a thyroid problem. Ok, two cures. That I know of.Wolter wrote:Don't worry. It WILL come back to haunt him.

Re: IMCT Running Club
Yup. I've had to up my exercise and lower my food indulgences when I hit about 38 just to keep at my preferred weight. I'm reasonably lucky, I guess, in that exercising does keep my metabolism reasonably high. And on that note, my morning rage ride along the South Saskatchewan River awaits …Mimi wrote:Yep.
