I'm not a distance runner, but I thought posters might enjoy this article about my training. The article does contain some misleading content. I do leg lifts, for example, but I avoid the complex movement lifts, like the clean and jerk, etc. My diet is also not as radical as the writer makes it seem. I eat normally during the times I'm not intermittently fasting.

So, what's the scoop on this cat? I clicked the link and I only get the first couple of sentences without having to subscribe to the WSJ. It's says he can throw down 2:38 halfs at age 71. Wow!...I'm 12 yrs younger than this cat and I can barely throw down a 3:35 without my torn PTT & ACL screaming for mercy. ?
Now, I thought all the hoopla was about Gary Patton and Jenny Hitchings. Now there's another super fast, record setting oldster?
