Well, so we should all start doing some heavy hill training and in a few months we will be breaking the 55 minutes for the ten miles and the 29 minutes for the 10K.
I am glad to that someone finally explained the true reason why this guy is getting older and faster.
Marion Jones and Eddy were doing lots hill training...Too bad it was not enough for them. Maybe it was their diet.
I love the really nice guy image.
You seem like a sanctimonious prig, and I like to take doofuses like you on from time to time.
So here are some annecdotes from my N of 1.
Improved on college PR in 5K and 8K by 1 min, 3-5 years after graduating. Drugs?
Continued setting PRs into my early 30s even though I'd been running for 15+ years. Drugs?
Fell off the charts in mid-late 30s but came roaring back in early 40s, running 15 seconds faster in the mile at 40-41 than at ANY time from 35 to 39. Drugs?
Picked up xc skiing in my mid 20s and competed respectably at a few national meets in my late 20s-early 30s. In the 50K event (probably not my best then) I would be about 15 or 20 minutes behind the champions/top foreign guests (Olympic level skiers).
Kept running into my mid-late 40s and 50s, in my mid 50s now able to run just about at the same level I did at 46 and actually faster than 45. Drugs.
Restarted ski career at 46-47, and still compete. Can finish marathons at close to the same level as at 29-30, and have actually improved at 53-54 compared to 46-49. Drugs?
In a nutshell, and I won't be a nice guy about this, unless you have proof: STFU you spineless mud-innervated moron!
