goose Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Solid time!!! I was forty pounds lighter when I was running at that pace. I looked like I was about twelve, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney_rebel Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b277/barney_rebel/20150419_095428_zpsfiao3bkw.jpg Losing 30+ lbs helps a lot.That's my problem..Since I hit 45, I've got a tire that I can't won't lose. I can't keep weight on.... I am just a couple years younger than you. Also running over 1000 miles over the course of the year, as fast as you can run helps.I ran today...3.5 with the dogs, then another 6.5 alone. Felt great. I need to fix my diet, but it's tough with the fam and work pulling me in other directions. BTW, imagine if I was 300 less on that bib number? I would frame that thing... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barney_rebel Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Couple of official pics from my last race. I got a 5k next, target time under 19:00 http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b277/barney_rebel/19639-110-23891563_processed_zpsigic9rel.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b277/barney_rebel/19639-110-23933190_zpsuu0w65lq.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the home front, I've been doing some fartlek training to build strength. I'be had a lot of success with it in the past, both in building speed & stamina, and avoiding boredom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be, but you never know (heat, hills, not your day). On Friday, ran 18:40 on my own. Yesterday I had booze, ate two plates of spaghetti and still ran 19:50, but hey, we'll see. Sprints, and hills are the workouts I have been lacking the past couple years. Need to get on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janie Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I have had to cut back my running drastically. It bothers me but I was experiencing hip pain and I'm sure the me 20 years from now will appreciate my dialing back the running. I only run 3 miles now every day. I find my hips don't complain at all and it's nice being able to sit for a while and know that I can get up and walk right away without limping. I have to run every day though. It's seriously therapeutic being outdoors and getting exercise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney_rebel Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Did 5k at lunch, 19:03 (couldn't quite give the late push). May do another tonight, or leg exercises. Haven't decided yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney_rebel Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 just started this book 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Barney, your pace never ceases to amaze me!!! Interesting book title...is it good? Years ago I read Haruki Murakami's autobiography, "What I talk about when I talk about running". Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 By the way, my preparation for the Rio Marathon took a back seat last week due to a horrible conjuntivitis that just wouldn't heal!!! But I'm feeling better now and did 28km today, in 02h34min00s. Next week is 32km, and then I'll taper down until late July. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago I read Haruki Murakami's autobiography, "What I talk about when I talk about running". Very cool. So far this book is pretty interesting. 1/4 in and it basically just praises the technique... no real instruction yet. I read Murakami's book last fall. Pretty good. Some great quotes from him. Check out Born to Run by Christopher McDougall. That is one book every runner should read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney_rebel Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 So my 5k went well. Not the time I wanted 19:14. I really wanted to break the 19:00 mark, but partied too much last night. Still good enough for first place. The I was with the second place guy for about 3k before I broke free. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b277/barney_rebel/11390070_403044983214876_5647370526771553222_n_zpsujjxkoa4.jpg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran the eight mile leg. How I finished and did is good as I did I have no idea. I think the guilt kicked in at some point. :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
