Incredible natural talent and probably around 45. You might actually not be running enough but then again it depends on what else you have done in your life. Everyone is an individual!!!

actually 35 years old. i should mention i had years in my 20s of averaging 50-60, so i have a residual base. those 12 mpw are all intervals on the track. if i am still running that at 45 i would be very surprised!

now to get the beers under control....haha.

5 foot two & eyes of blue.

One thirty & kinda of nerdy.

100 miles per week & ever so sleek. 😆

man, 6-4 and 155 is thin.

I'm 6-1 180

80 mpw most of the year.

Thanks for posting. In some ways we are alike. After high school and college running I had a hard time focusing on just running. So I started to lift and play tennis more.

Once I started coaching I felt I had to set a good example and push the runs. So I was often injured and doing cross training. This cycle was not fun. I guess I was stubborn and a slow learner.

So that's why all the advice.

I enjoyed reading your post. You are running for fun and I applaud that.

I'm not sure if you wrote that right. To me it seems as if we need to ice more when the injury is present. Running should be cut back or stopped, and cross training and rehab must be increased!!!

Please write back it you get the chance.

No, I wrote it correctly. If I stop too long I lose interest. When I'm on I naturally push very hard.

My issue is that motivation, health and patience are rarely in stride. Consistency is lacking one way or another. It would probably be a lot easier if I could not run at all.

You are stubborn like me. In fact I probably still run when I shouldn't and I'm closing in on the big 60. I wonder if you will run when you are 60? (I've also ran 47 years, except for the times when I was injured.)

5-9 200

I used to run up to 90 miles per week when I weighed 150. Now I hardly

run at all.

6'0"

225'

I play linebacker in football.

We probably run 5 miles per week total in practice, but could add much more when we play games.

Wow...what happened here? From 90 mpw to 0? From 150 to 200?

Injuries? Lifestyle changes? Burnout?

Do you think you'll ever get back into running or is it hasta la vista?

Injuries and age.

Running gets harder as you get older unless you are the 85 year old guy who is about 6-1 and 90 pounds and runs about 100 mpw.

You also pretty much know that you are not going to run faster after a certain age. When you are 16-30 or so it gets better and better every year.

I think OP is right in that you must under train. Then again life will get in the way anyways so why not train hard for a few years and then quit when you reach a certain goal?

You run a lot of miles. What motivates you? It's possible that you could be very good in the future if you aren't already!
