WANT 2 BE FAST

do you realize how fast a 245 marathon is?

This is obviously a joke. Any 44 year old who can use a computer would know better.

If you want to be fast, you have set your goals too low. 2:45 is anything but fast. Shoot for 2:10 and then share your experiences with us.

Because I'm sure you're a sub-2:10 marathoner, right? Why don't you leave this forum voluntarily before you get banned?

One asked how to be fast. My response was honest in that if he desires to be fast, his goals are entirely too low. 2:45 isn't fast. To say otherwise is to practice the art of deceipt. You are deceptive. Accept honesty for what it is.

I have not said that 2:45 is a poor goal; simply put, 2:45 won't mean that this person is "fast" whether a man or a woman. "Fast" describes only a few individuals on this planet..."fast" does not describe many thousands of people.

The truth must be accepted before reality is known; accept the truth.

Good for you. You're well on your way to a decent goal for next year (perhaps better the folowing year?). First, work on increasing those 3-mile distance runs, so that you can comfortably run a 20miler on the weekend (and 10-15milers on the other days). When you've got this, work on the pace of these runs. When 7min pace is relatively easy to maintain on these runs, start the YASSO 800s. By that time, you'll be amazed at the improvement on the 6min. per 800m that you will have already made! Along with this Yasso workout, include a solid run of 10-12miles that is a little faster than your regular runs. You should do Chicago next year. Good luck!

Fast is a relative term. So, while 2:45 may be "slow" to some, it can, at the same time, be "fast" to others.

Dude/Ulysses/PBK/Quince/WTTBB:

How's high school debate going this season? Any tournaments coming up?

"Deceipt"

heh:)

You think 2:10 is fast? Damn, I could cover 26.2 in 20 minutes in my BMW. You set your goals far too low.

What is YASSO 800s?

Are you a spokesman for the anti-tobacco compaign?

Wttbb, i'm new to this forum, but in the week that i've been reading messages i've realized how full of shit you are. accept the truth.

It is a workout of 800's that is supposed to predict your marathon time. I don't remember how many, or how much rest, but if you run the prescibed amount of 800's with the prescribed amount of rest you are supposed to be able to run the marathon in that time.

For example: A session of 8X800 in an average of 2:36 would suggest you could run around 2:36 in the 'thon. I'm not sure of recovery time but I'm assuming around 90 seconds or so. Oh, and why are we responding to the original post, it's obviously a joke.
