Pete Magill CRUSHES

His belief in the drugs is working quite well for him.

5 bucks if you say that to his face sonny.

What about open and master runners in the 400, 800 and 1500 meters?

what this fellow is obviously referring too is pete's consumption of michelob and budweiser, albeit in rather copious quantities....

the word structure in your sentence doesn't even make sense.

How is this guy so thick? He definitely doesn't have the typical distance runner build? He looks like he runs about 25 miles a week.

Prob the Vibrams

It worked for all the great Brits of his generation...probably the Aussies too. Beer is the ultimate recovery drink.

If you are referring to Pete Magill then ya he might appear a little bigger than average but not even close to looking like a 25/week runner. Mr. Magill is quite the inspiration to us fellow masters, ageless and a machine that keeps on going. His life story I recall was extremely interesting that should be made into a movie.

Why do master runners need inspiration from other master runners? You would think by the time you are 40, you would be self motivated, or your family would be all the inspiration you need.

What kind of times did he put up 25 yrs. ago? I never heard of him until 2-3 yrs. ago when I saw some of his mind blowing master's results.

Maybe he wasn't running much 25 years ago. Not everyone who is into running got into when they were 12. Pete is a class guy who is admired by many.

It's just good to see the possiblilities at that age. When you turn 40,50 it's easy to doubt yourself and lose motivation. I love to run and race, it's great to see others my age running so well.
