Lance Armstrong's goals for 2008

bang both Olsen twins. check

If only I could take a couple days out of my schedule to be ready for Boston! What a joke.

The jump from 2:45 to 2:30 is a pretty big one. The specific training required to do so will put a lot more hurt on his larger frame... we'll see if he can stand up to the pounding. Good for him for finding a new 'hobby'.

Perhaps a more realistic goal for him would be to run 2:37 at NYC, getting down to 6 minute pace will be possible.

Going from 6:18 pace in April to 5:43 pace by November is a big improvement to ask for.

I think if he were to train for 12-15 months very serious, and not be living the "Hollywood" life style he could get down in the mid 2:20's.

In any case, I wish him the best.

Is he going back on EPO?

No, he's leaving that for Hall, Ritz, Sell, Meb, Radcliffe, Geb, etc. All the elite runners. Or, do you think only cyclists dope and that elite runners are all clean? Yeah, right.

Cool. I'll see Chris in a few weeks and ask him about that.

Sweet. When I see Terrell tomorrow I'll ask him how the ankle feels.

Is Carmichael coaching Lance's running?

More likely that one of the Carmichael Training Systems running coaches is actually advising Lance. Chris C doesn't have a background in running. They do have some excellent running coaches on their staff.

has he published his shooting schedule. HGH. steroids. EPO. what's it like for him.

It is hillllllllllllllllllarious to see these angered posts by people whom lance is already faster than.

For an athlete of his caliber I don't think 2:30 is outrageous. He should be able to run.

Although I find it slightly annoying that he will probably be the most popular runner in the world if he accomplishes the feat.

They never caught Marion Jones, Rodger Clemens, nor Lance Armstrong. He can take all the HGH he wants and get better times. I wish I could do that too.

Agreed. It might be slightly annoying if he does accomplish the feat, but I trust Carmichael's methods. And they definitely do not involve EPO or any other banned substances. Just plain hard work and periodization.

Check it out, they pulled the Boston Marathon goal... until he announces it I am sure...

Lance Armstrong’s Athletic Goals for 2008

I’ll give you some examples of effective goals, straight from Lance Armstrong. He emailed his list about a week ago, and though he says he has two goals for 2008, I told him only one of them counts so far:

1. Run the New York City Marathon in 2:30:00 on November 2, 2008.

2. Complete an ultra-endurance cycling event.

Obviously, it’s the second one that doesn’t count yet because he hasn’t decided on a specific event. I’ll let you know when Lance decides exactly what he wants to do.

Now you know what we’re up to in 2008. What are you going to commit to?

Um, just because HIS methods dont involve doping, doesn't mean Lance's methods, dont.

I can't believe they just removed the Boston Marathon goal from there between the time I posted this a couple of hours ago and now. What is the deal? Did NYC get jealous and claim that Lance was exclusively theirs or something? It will be interesting to see if he ends up running Boston after all or not.

Let's have renaissance girl ask Chris.
