Something about wind resistance, extra effort to move your body forward, etc.

I can hit 7 in a 5k on a good day. I just race against myself. There are too many people out there who are younger, thiner and faster.Originally posted by ERCougar View PostComment

I would take 7 on a 5K - and would LOVE to get to sub-7. Got a ways to go to get even there; closer to 8.Originally posted by Sea Chicken View PostComment

When I was a long distance track guy in HS, I ran a 5 flat. It was the proudest day of my running life.Originally posted by Eddie View Post
I can't do sub 8 now, and I won't even try.Awesomeness now has a name. Let me introduce myself.Comment

Running track in H.S. I think my fastest time in the mile was 5:12. I used to hit around 12:30-12:45 in the 2 mile.Originally posted by nikuman View Post
I've kind of set a goal to run a 5K in 20 minutes - just so that I have something to work towards. Right now (on a treadmill, mind you) I can finish 5K in about 24 minutes. That includes my warm-up, so I think I could drop another minute without a lot of work - but I'm sure those other three minutes will cost me some time on the track.Comment

I like treadmills and use them whenever I am in a hotel. (How can you beat getting a good cardio workout while watching "Law and Order?") I always have a higher heartrate at the end of a treadmill workout, for some reason. I don't think I could do it every day - I like being outside too much, and we do have awfully good weather here . . . .
Ellipticals are even better for a non-impact workout but when I use one more than occasionally I get patellar tendinitis. Exercise machines can be funny that way.Last edited by LA Ute; 05-11-2009, 03:29 PM.“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

I didn't run track in High School (third-string running back here). I did a mile road race last summer in 6:05:84. I ran in the geezer race. Funny thing is that I would have placed better in the open. Too many midlife crises out there in my age group.Originally posted by Eddie View PostComment

That's a great time!Originally posted by Sea Chicken View Post
In the sprint tri I'm doing I have the choice of competing in my age group or in the "clydsdale" group for anyone over 200. I figure I'll run into what you're describing in my age group, and I'll run into some 6'5" 201 lb. young athlete in the weight group. Either way, I'm just hoping to finish.Comment

As another point of reference, my BIL trained fro the SLC marathon entirely on the treadmill. He trained to run a 9:00 pace, and ended up running a 9:46. He was doing well until about 20, then lost his stamina. Afterwards, though, he said his legs weren't hurting any worse than any other marathons.Originally posted by Eddie View Postsigpic

4:31 was my personal best in high school, run at the state meet my senior year. That was for 1600 meters though, a true mile is actually 1609.3 meters.Originally posted by nikuman View PostComment

Hal Hidgon posted this as his "Tip of the Day" on Facebook today:
"Tip of the Day: Running indoors on a treadmill certainly is acceptable behavior if the weather is rotten or if you don't want to run in the dark. But there never will come a time when race directors place treadmills by the starting lines of 5-K races and marathons and offer people a chance to run their race on a moving belt. Get outside as much as you can."Comment

Ugh. I have gotten really bad about running outside. I ran 13.1 today on the treadmill in preparation for a half I have in a month. The problem right now for me is 1) I started at 5 a.m. and I don't like running in the dark. 2) I'm breastfeeding and require an obscene amount of water to stay hydrated (I drank about 120 oz during my run--try and carry that in a camelback.)Originally posted by Teenage Dirtbag View Post
I ran a 5k earlier this year and I didn't notice a difference in my pace from treadmill to road, but I imagine that I won't be able to keep up my treadmill pace for a half.What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

I wouldn't stress about it too much, you can only do what you can do. There's no way I'd be cool with my wife running outside at 5.Originally posted by marsupial View PostComment
