You don't have that, so the harder you train the faster you will run...<br /><br />Good luck.coach dionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14464619260070895703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-72922793281530150782012-09-22T19:29:08.632-04:002012-09-22T19:29:08.632-04:00I refuse.....to get older that is. :)I refuse.....to get older that is. :)Detroit Runner(Jeff)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11685917189914214877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-92090769928376965682012-09-22T19:28:38.275-04:002012-09-22T19:28:38.275-04:00Hey Josh - I'll race you at the Brooksie.

I'm just waiting for that older age when there's only 1 or 2 other runners so I always medal. :)KovasPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401299101228398072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-34723396845937274472012-09-21T10:27:40.587-04:002012-09-21T10:27:40.587-04:00I started at 36 after almost 20 years off of runni...I started at 36 after almost 20 years off of running. I'm still improving after a couple years and expect to be faster at 40 and 45 than I am now. I want to be one of those older guys who cruises by guys like me currently. :)protometal @ clippinalong.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00136868195365402745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-76584013215444467642012-09-21T10:02:31.842-04:002012-09-21T10:02:31.842-04:00Interesting topic.

His best is 3:10 that he ran when he was 55. There is hope... I'm turning 50 next year.Johannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17588120934444485158noreply@blogger.com
