    re: Washed-up

    There's not that much to talk about concerning running. I can summarize EVERYTHING about running in a few bullet points:

    * If you run more, you will either get faster or injured

    * You get slower as you get older

    * If you want to PR, run even splits; if you want race, draft behind the lead pack and try to outkick them

    * If you don't have enough speed to succeed at a given, move up to the next longest distance and try to succeed there

    * It's all about power-to-weight ratio, so increase your power, decrease your bodyweight or do both

    * We're all narcissists with self-esteem problems

    * The 800 tends to be considered the most painful race

    I run a couple times a week. I was a decent runner in high school. Now mostly a fan.

    re: Washed-up

    I run and I've logged about 1500 this year so far with climbing u peak of over 100,000 ft but I want to go over 200k feet this year.

    People come here to chat about running but the other topics are cool too and I just wish for less censorship.

    I normally take one or two days off a month from running.

    re: Washed-up

    I sort of feel like I'm washed up since I'm a lot slower than I used to be (not that I was ever that fast) but I'm still running about 60mpw nowadays and hope to keep running daily and racing occasionally for many decades to come.

    I run from my couch to the fridge. That counts for something, right?

    I didn't run for years after college but am currently at 33 mpw. I'm taking my time increasing my mileage.
