Running Debate—Can You Be Fit and Fat at Runner's World
So here's an article I found on Runner's World website. Previously I posted some comments I had on a 400 lb man who ran the LA marathon and claimed to be fit. Here's a link to the prior post if you didn't get a chance to read it.
Just some food for thought, but I think the article validates some of my feelings about the 400lb marathoner.
On a training note, I did my weekly long run today; 9 miles in 1:14:01, 8:13min/mile. I wasn't very excited about running today as it was only 18 degree's outside when I left, but only a slight wind out of the southeast and a warm sun made it bearable.
Happy Running!

I too read that article (I subscribe to RW), and agree with your opinion on it.
ReplyDeleteGreat run! I too ran with my Team yesterday AM, but it sucked because the calf/heel was painful, which is frustrating. I might have to drop down to the half if it keeps up.
