Owl- What do your winter training look like? I am thinking about running track in 2011. |

Mike 51 years old! I ran a 56.1 on the 4 x 400 at Natonals! |

57.2 is the PB at age 42; now a 58 is just an easy workout. Am I missing something?

I was a 100 meter runner, with no training that year. |

Some 45 year old runner ran 50.2 this summer |

I would set myself up to get a tailwind; 10 meter flying starts; March times started at 22; by the end of May - low 19's to 19 flat. |

My winter training was rehabbing from knee surgery for October and November. Started jogging December 1st. Worked up to 3 mile tempos at 6 per mile. 2 or 3 times per week. Plyos, weights. core and lots of pool work. and elliptical. Low carb/high protein diet. Lot of stretching, and a very forgiving wife! |

So how fast do you think you will run in 2011? |
| Masters |
| ||
|
Sprinters? |

My 56.6 was in June 2009. I thought for sure I could dip into the 54's. But as my season last year progressed I developed the dreaded low back/groin pain. Continued training and popping double doses of Alive daily. Gradually worsened until I hung it up in August. Every time I've tried speedwork since - I get the pain. Been to the Chiro for SI joint dispacement. At this point I'm shooting for Indoor. |

Birdo, is a fast time in the 400/800? Can you run with the top masters at nationals? |
| Coach Owl Birdo |
| ||
Making it to Nationals uninjured is the main task = being it's at the end of the season. Getting strong enough to run rounds is the next step. Frankly, I would be happy with 56.5 in 2011. I thought I'd be into the 54's in 2010, but I ended up as a spectator instead. |

I ran 59.1 right before turning 40. With a 49.50 lifetime PR that speed loss really affects what I can do in a 5K and how to approach any training. I want to be at 55 flat but don't know if that's going to happen. |

Wow. Some fast older guys here. I'm 30 years old so I'm not doing Masters competition yet, but I thought I might like to try being a 400m type guy when I get old enough to compete in Masters track. I ran the 400 in college in sub-50, so I figured I would be competitive in Masters competition, but now I'm not so sure. Even at 30 years old, I think a 55 would be a tall order. The idea of running well under 60 secs in ten to twenty years from now is crazy to me. |
