You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: lucKY2b Subject: RE: 50+ Masters Training and Racing Open Forum Body: ********************************** Week 16 ********************************** Bump for the week, although it hardly needed bumping with all the activity (good and not-so-good) last week. Glad to know there are more people out there that appreciate this thread. I iterate once more that there is no "mundane training" that is unworthy of communicating. Any day that us old farts get to run is a blessing that is to be cherished, so don't be shy. Continuing to slowly increase my mileage since the lay-off, so 35 mundane (and blessed) miles for me this week. Ran 6 days with runs of 7,4,5.5,6.5,7,5.5. Still not using a watch (mostly), and not trying to do any real speed workouts, just continuing to rebuild endurance. I did try to tempo 3 miles during one of my 7 mile runs, but my lower back started bugging me after two miles, so I had to back off; was running at about 6:30 pace (feeling really slow these days) at the time. Amazing how taking a couple of months off can affect so many parts of the body. I've not ever experienced lower back problems, so I have to believe that it's taking longer for that part to recondition than some other parts. Thought I'd reintroduce this article from Running Times magazine posted a couple years ago. http://runningtimes.com/Print.aspx?articleID=17947 Had some salient points about training as we age. As always, the main message I get from it is to listen to your body. Hope everyone is running well and training wisely. Hit the submit button below if you want us to review the post.
