I stepped off the road so I wouldn't block runners behind me, lost my footing on the soft shoulder and fell on my ass.I'm not sold on the method but not just because of my mishap. My best marathons have always been extremely even paced or negative split. Case in point: Grandma's 1981. At 20 I was on sub 2:30 pace and I followed Dan Conway on a surge that helped me run the last 10K in 34:30 for 2:28. I don't think walking breaks would have done that for me.DCShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03125613995070496696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-76728439383156602522010-08-03T14:46:43.635-05:002010-08-03T14:46:43.635-05:00HR in the 30s & systolic in the 70s.

Bounce-bounce-bounce, then walk. Repeat. I tried my damndest to pass them once & for all, but bitches kept it up. Then they passed me for good.

If you are going to run that close, buddy, you better be buying dinner, a-hole!)</i> only to stop dead in front of you to walk because Galloway's watch beeped. <br /><br />So me?

Is he the fast marathoner dude who advocates walking breaks? I know there is a fast marathoner who has a book out which espouses (spelt wrong I am sure) the benefits of walking breaks (which I actually do take when the chips are down but only if necessary not as part of an overall plan).<br />So... which cheese festival are you attending?PiccolaPineConehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09520539255908849462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-5513313286486616022010-08-03T07:38:01.069-05:002010-08-03T07:38:01.069-05:00Does your doctor try not to look visibly freaked w...Does your doctor try not to look visibly freaked when they take your pulse & it's in the 30s?

When I back off to a normal fast pace in a long distance race, the mental boost is invigorating; similar to a ball player swinging a heavy bat before a plate appearance. I still believe running in lead weighted shoes would produce results for me, but I have yet to pull the trigger and risk the possible injurious effects it may produce on the joints.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-67895730977807265982010-08-02T14:33:29.658-05:002010-08-02T14:33:29.658-05:00ZOMG, you're back posting ALREADY?!1?
