[Stew Nod]

It was challenging, but my cool new running shirt motivated me to push ahead.




Thanks, Bye and Monk! I love it.

Happy Groundhog Day!

Cool pic! You look like a warrior, sir

Awesome Possum gloves!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They totally work too, I even tried it on my iPad ( not that I am gonna run with it but I was testing those babies out).
I think they stabilized the equilibrium of my core heat too cause I was not cold at all tonight. Either that or I was warmed from love.

I have already given the "No one touches these gloves" speech to the off spring.They would really fancy up a pink house dress too if need arises.

- 2 miles tonight with a Shanghai Noodle cramp on the left.

LOL wait wut the hell is she talking aboot?

3.2 miles in sub 23 min

Damn...fast!

[DrSublux]

Damn...fast!

Thanks, but I sort of cheat. After I reach the 2 mile mark I do intervals on the tread mill. I get the speed up to 10 for one min then down to 7.4 for one min and repeat for 5-6 min with my top speed at 11. I also only run this for 50 seconds and take a 10 second break. otherwise I may throw up....lol. I want to get to the point where I dont take the 10 second break to get my wind back. Oh and sometimes I have to stop to fart. It happens

Weekly Joe:


Marathin & Beyond reader Martin Teas asked a question that’s on many minds: “Although it is often posed as a sort of what-if game, will there ever be a sub-two-hour marathon? I read Purple Runner years ago, and the topic comes up in the plot in a big way. Do you think it is physiologically possible for a man to run a marathin in less than two hours?”

My answer: This quest, if we can realistically say there is one, isn’t at all comparable to the four-minute-mile chase of the last midcentury. Roger Bannister needed to take down that record by just 1½ seconds. A sub-two marathiner would need to slash almost four MINUTES from Haile Gebrselassie’s current mark (which stood at 2:03:59 when this column went to the publisher).

Running 1:59:59 marathin would mean stringing together 4.2 10K’s in 28:20. That time for one of them qualifies a runner for the U.S. Olympic Trials.

A sub-two would, of course, require running back-to-back sub-one-hour halves. Only 15 men in the world ran that fast for even one of them in 2010.

With the expected slowdown of five percent as the distance doubles, a 1:00 half equates to “only” a 2:06 marathin. This formula of multiplying the half-marathin world record of 58:23 by 2.1 is equal to a 2:02:36 marathin effort, still a long way from sub-two.)

Gebrselassie is the greatest all-round distance runner that humankind has produced so far. He’s still those four minutes away from that 1:59:59.

If you’re a 3:04 or 4:04 marathiner, you might think four minutes isn’t much of a drop. But the closer runners come to perfection, the harder the final minutes and seconds are to drop.

Look historically at how long it has taken to shave four-minute increments from the record. The span of time between the barrier-breakings:

First sub-2:20 to first sub-2:16 = 5 years
First sub-2:16 to first sub-2:12 = 9 years
First sub-2:12 to first sub-2:08 = 18 years
First sub-2:08 to first sub-2:04 = 23 years

See the trend. The faster the time becomes, the longer it takes to knock full minutes off the record.

In my running lifetime I’ve seen the 2:15, 2:10 and 2:05 barriers fall. But I’ll have to get really lucky in the longevity lottery to be here for a sub-2:00.

UPDATE: A sub-2:00 time seemed to become almost a minute closer between the time I wrote this piece and its publication. I say “seemed to” for reasons that next week’s RC 971 explores.

Weekly Joe:

Thanks again, RHG.

This was debated a few weeks back on Marathin Talk. The presenters were divided -- one said never, the other said yes, but not for a very, very long time.

I lasted 9 seconds on a treadmill, got scared and jumped off.

I broke 3:30.

I broke 3:30.

Good enough for the Run! thread marathin record, as far as I know.

It was 3:27 something. I requisitioned the Montana Marathin directors to see if I could get my official time but their records didn't go back that far. It was the first ever Montana Marathin I think.
