Henry Rono training for masters mile record. PART II

My god! Talk about rude! Get off his back. 19:00 with his current belly at 54 is amzing. When he wants to get serious about the weight don't you think he will?

I did again on the 215 day of training phase II,I ran for 115 minutes + 30 minutes sauna.For sure I feel great,perhaps I might hit some intervals work out today if the weather allows me.

I'm still kicking for sure anybody,who is demanding more is not my problem.It is their problem.My weight will come down as my nature allows.

Henry Rono weghts!weights! weight! weight!.....weeeeeeeiiiightss!!!

Henry, I saw this recently in a Kenyan news article:

Henry Rono came after the first generation but, cross country was not on his agenda. Analysts argue that the man would have won a number of cross country medals.

Rono was most dominant over natural terrain — able to blast away from the start, or toy with the pace and then surge clear with bursts of speed seldom seen on the grass.

Rono was fully occupied with the track events and world cross simply was not an option for the world’s greatest distance runner of his time.

_______________________________

I was just wondering if you ever seriously ran cross-country and what you think you could have done had you competed in the World Cross Country event back in your day.

Peace.

I know,but I'm doing my running journal,and put his question back for later,when I'm in good shape mentally, then I will answer him right.I want him to pay attention to me until I'm mentally capable.

I hope you go into alot of detail about all that in your book. I would like to know if you were just toying with Salazar and others, your first couple of years at WSU, when your races weren't as close as they were, finally in the 80's. I can't wait for your book.

You're thinking of that old saying in Tennessee, I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says, "Fool me once, shame on, shame on you. Fool me, you can't get fooled again."

The 216 day of training I ran for 82 minutes + 25 X 2 minutes sauna + 15 minutes swiming-pool. 179lbs on my shoulders and hipps.

"You have lost alot of weights," says Ded, while we were sitting in the sauna,"thank you" I say.I though that was nice of him,we were disscusing about our health in life and old good days.He is 67 and I'm 54 we both have the same issues of being over weight and struggling to lose some weights."Life is not easy, what to eat and what not," I say.

I don't let people who I'm,because I don't want to get into running conversation.Because many people don't know what is running means,perhaps they may think you are running away from a wild lion in the jungle.I don't want to give them that impression.

Henry,

Who is "Ded"? (Just curious.)

I really enjoy what you write here.

Who is "Ded"? (Just curious.)

sounds like 'just a guy' he sees in the sauna at the gym.

To huh?.

The 217 day of training phase II.I ran for 80 minutes + 25 minutes sauna + 15 minutes swiming-pool + 20 minutes whirl-pool.

The 218 day of training phase II. I ran for 131 minutes + 25 minutes sauna + 15 minutes swiming-poo + 20 minutes whirl-pool + 5 minutes steam-room. My weights 178lbs today.

I hope to get 172 lbs by sunday,but I have to do fasting from saturday and sunday.What do you think? Becase I have to see these 172 numbers on sunday,I'm getting to late,I'm running out of my projecting time.My birthday is next month. I have only 31 days.And I'm not yet under 170lbs.

What are you eating and drinking? Do you have any idea why you are stuck at 178-180?

I figured it out....in his 'journal' for that days workout, he was writing it in wrong. It was not 'ran for 2 hours, then sat in sauna for 20 minutes'.....

it was actually: "jogged for 20 minutes and sat in sauna for 2 hours, then went to dinner at Hometown Buffett.

funny.....but I'm betting that on March 1st, Henry will be 160 lbs.

I know Nolan as a Trumpet Teacher. He's a wonderful guy, really nice, and totally low-key. Nolan didn't like the idea that Smith was a common name so he took up the name of Shaheed. That was a while back, I believe. Fantastic runner, I wish I could run that fast. FYI the guy only eats one meal per day, after he runs (of course I think he snacks sometimes). If you're ever in Pasadena, I believe Pasadena Jazz regularly holds events to the public and he's a regular performer.

I'm eating one meal per day now.

Preparing for saturday fasting.

Henry,

I have been following this thread for a while and you have been a big inspiration for runners - even those who were born after your career.

A thought on the weight issue : probably one of the best ways NOT to loose weight is to do only one meal daily - or do fasting. Back in the middle ages, you know who were the only people who were overweight ? The monks - who did fasting, slowing down metabolism - and the on and off eating made them gain weight ; not the opposite.

If you wish to get down 20 pounds, the most effective way is to :

- Eat AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE vegetables daily. Ideally 4-6 pounds if you can - cook or steak them lightly and use spices but no sauce on the mix.Fresh or frozen. Spread into 3-4 meals.

- Eat 2-3 chicken breasts daily

- add in some oatmeal,2-3 portions, and 3-5 apples in addition to this.

Drink lots of fluid and for snack try frozen berries, as much as you wish.

Total daily meals 5-7.

I can guarantee that this will work.
