Pamela Anderson set to break 6:30 @NYCMarathon

who

the

hell

cares

Even during her Baywatch days, she was renowned for running in slow motion.

Giving excess attention to "celebrities" who don't even train for these things is really helping kill the sport.

Can she take Oprah? Who ya got, Pamela or Oprah?

What kind of support will she be wearing? Is that company sponsoring her?

Uh, why?

I think running for fitness is a good idea for almost anyone. If someone wants to run a marathon and it motivates them to train, that's great, even if they will never get very fast. But when you apparently know nothing about the marathon and haven't really trained for it, I don't get the point of slogging along at the back for 6+ hours. Go to a nice national park and go for a nice 6+ hour hike. It would be much more scenic and fun.

What's her 10k PB?

So this is going to be a six-hour moving commercial for a sports bra?

Running is being ruined by these people. And race organizers are complicit in letting it happen.

Oh, is it? Is it really? Is running really being ruined by these people? Oh, and don't get me started on race organizers and their complicitness in letting it happen.

Pamela is doing it for the publicity and sheer novelty of running a big city marathon with thousands of people cheering you on. What's wrong with that?

She's 46...

Because it is dangerous and leads other idiots to believe that they can do it too.

Have a bucket list? Put cross fit on it. It makes about as much sense.

This is great stuff!! Read about her training schedule. I would not want to be in her shoes by the 16 mile mark.

The “Barb Wire” bombshell has been building her stamina all summer on elliptical and Stairmaster machines, doing ab work and lifting 5-pound weights at home.

All that’s left is to actually train for the race.

“I really haven’t attacked the running thing,” she admits. “I’ve never been a runner. I’ve never even run across the street hardly before.”

The Nov. 3 race is six weeks away, and Anderson has stepped up her game with regular 5-mile runs every other day, maxing out at more than 10 miles on her long runs – so she’s almost halfway there.

Still, she admits she’s on uncharted ground for her first race. “I don’t even really know how long it takes to run the marathon,” she says. “To keep it under 15 minutes a mile would be my first goal. Hopefully I can run faster than that.”

As for fuel: Her refrigerator is reported as being full of juices, smoothies, vegetables, brown rice, quinoa, kale, greens, cappuccinos and chocolate.

The average person walks at 15 minutes a mile. She can stroll the whole race then sprint the last quarter to finish in under 15 min per mile pace. Rich Froning could probably even do that for a marathon.

Rich Froning could easily run sub 3 for a Marathon if he trained for it. He is, after all, the worlds fittest man.

I for one applaud Pam to enter the NYCM. There are already enough scrawny/boxy women entered, so it's great for a change to see a woman with real curves enter the competition. If it helps charity, even better.

I don't think so. Rich's 5K PR is about 7 minutes a mile. A sub-3 Marathon is about 6:50 pace. Would never happen in a million years.

The only charity it will help is her plummeting career.
