The "Ultimate COJ Thread About Nothing" Thread # 3 (Page 48)

Well, you have certainly come to the right place.....

I read.  Alot.  Especially if I'm interested in a topic.  Some good books on the subject:

"Lore of Running", by Dr. Tim Noakes
"The Competitive Runner's Handbook",  by Bob Glover

Good websites:

Jim2's Running Page
al_training.pdf (application/pdf Object)
Form Drills - Form Drill Exercises for Runners - Runningplanet.com
Running Times Magazine
Speed, Strength and Power Training for the Distance Athlete
Marathon Training Schedule: Intermediate - II
Arthur Lydiard's

Hope those help at least a little bit.  I will say this much:  My personal philosophy on running is that the keys are Consistency, and Mileage.  I don't think everyone can, or should, run every day, and have 80+ mile weeks.  It's not practical for many.  For me, it is, so I do it.  However, I think that to be a decent runner, or to improve, you need to run consistently for at least 5 days out of the week, and as much mileage as you can.  Also, I don't much care to be a slave to some device.  I try to run at a pace that will leave me pleasantly tired, but able to go out and repeat that workout tomorrow.  I haven't done intervals or any real speed work in years.  I will do some later this year, however, since I know that will be key to me meeting my goals.  But the average runner, just looking to improve his times, doesn't need to worry about anything more technical than running consistently, and smartly.

Run faster genius. 

I'll run faster if you chase me E.....then I'll trip convieniently in the woods (in a big fluffy pile of leaves)

5-5:30am

It varies, but I'm usually up around 6:30, at my desk by 7:30, and here till 5 or so.  I eat breakfast and have my coffee at my desk.

I did see Capote.......Still not sure what I think of it.

Sorry, it's sort of a day-after-a-really-long-race sort of thing.

The bloody nipples at the end was funny. 

Pure Genius!!! 

Just don't try to wake up to the smell of cooking bacon but putting a Foreman Grill in your bedroom, then accidentally stepping on it and burning your foot..... 

I do....other animal noises as well....dogs, cats, chickens, cows, sheep, etc...

Meow.....

Now that movie was good. 

Its all of the guidance one can receive around here that keeps me coming back.
