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:
I recall a time when I thought that dropping down to 70 miles a week was for recovery or because I hated running, or I was sick. I recall popping by the track on an 18 miler and knocking off 5 sub 5 minute miles. I recall being very upset if I could not get them all under 5 despite the heat or how tired I was. I recall that running sub 16 5K’s was so easy that on one occasion I ran over a half a mile backwards just to mock my competition because I was such an arrogant jerk. I recall once running 131 miles in a week and it was just sooo boring. Yeah, I ran faster later because of it, but, even later, I just quit out of sheer boredom. I was never injured; I was friggin immortal and invulnerable. I spent, perhaps, 20 years thinking of 70 miles a week as wuss mileage. And when I turned 50 and tried to replicate “wuss mileage”…..again and again….my body kept falling apart. Turning 50 will humble you. Hit the submit button below if you want us to review the post.
