You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: Rtype Subject: RE: 50+ Masters Training and Racing Open Forum Body: Another good week of 15 miles in 5 days. I’m thankful my knee allows me to run pain free now. As planned I had my first tentative track workout and it went well. The big change was moving to running at work for lunch. Previously I ran trails to heal the knee but with it getting dark after work I switched as I have no interest running the woods at night. I was surprised that, if anything, the knee responded well. Keeping the miles low but the tempo up seems to be the key. Essentially I warm up a mile, press a mile, and cruise/recover the last mile. I have no slow days. I have no idea what to expect from here as this is a total experiment. But I plan to increase the track duration on Sat and increase the middle-mile pace during the week. Sorry for your loss lucKY2b. On age grading, muddy girl, it seems that all-important “Age standard” value skews the results if there are not enough samples (such as a distance not frequently raced). Or, the opposite, it’s just like school where we are graded on a curve and there is always some smarty-pants that blows the curve for the whole class. In our M 50-54 group, thank you very much Mr. David Martin Rees for your 14:53 5K. That is amazingly awesome, though. I don’t mind age grading, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to base awards on it. The 100 year old is gonna win every time! Hit the submit button below if you want us to review the post.
