They're all awesome.<BR/><BR/>Good point on the overused quad. Maybe I'd better break that foam roller out again.<BR/><BR/>Ryan, once you get to Boston, it's pretty much just another race. You'll probably finish a little further back than normal, but you'll beat a ton of people.<BR/><BR/>No need to debate the stats. After October you're going to be the poster child for the "Increasing miles = Faster times" campaign. Bloggers will come from far and wide to learn your "secret".<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I never said the knee was better.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412073727859282887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1155264532522889902006-08-10T21:48:00.000-05:002006-08-10T21:48:00.000-05:00Those are impressive Boston place statistics.

I'm just hoping to get there someday. <BR/><BR/>Glad to hear the knee issue has disappeared. <BR/><BR/>Not going to get into the debate on the stats. I'm already getting out running more miles due to your prior prodding, Zeke!Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18340810097551928846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1155261003066821962006-08-10T20:50:00.000-05:002006-08-10T20:50:00.000-05:00i haven't trued to read it, i assumed i would just...i haven't trued to read it, i assumed i would just run more miles, which i am doing rather slowly each week. when my race comes around in november i want to be around 45mpw. <BR/><BR/>it would be nice to run on chip covered trails. i don't know of any like that around here. here we have dirt/dust which is a great break from pavement. <BR/><BR/>sometimes knee pain comes from overused quads. my guess is an overuse problem from ramping up to fast because you havn't mentioned problems there before. resting it was a good callmassomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15119481354688861353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1155214163560388492006-08-10T07:49:00.000-05:002006-08-10T07:49:00.000-05:00Nah, Eric I knew you'd come around. Your response...Nah, Eric I knew you'd come around. Your response is similar to Evan's post the other day when he talked about the bigger gains from 60 to 80 than 80 and 100. <BR/><BR/>Mike, it sounds like you were right on my ass in 2004.<BR/><BR/>Liz, you're one of the triathletes that "screws up" the data. Again, a 3:27 for a woman on 27 mpw is not normal. But as long as you're enjoying everything, why change? <BR/><BR/>RR, sure it sounds better, but it won't help motivate me.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412073727859282887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1155211158386500452006-08-10T06:59:00.000-05:002006-08-10T06:59:00.000-05:00I think saying you beat alot of people sounds much...I think saying you beat alot of people sounds much better!! :-)SRRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00598773686596321011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1155176955425683392006-08-09T21:29:00.000-05:002006-08-09T21:29:00.000-05:00maybe some day I will up the mileage Zeke.

But wait! If I delete the Boston heat wave run and then ignore the Furman plan fiasco... But still got 'beat' by alot of runners in B-2004 (including one Z), would you believe I was 4338?

So, maybe if you're running less than 50 you need to say, "Damn, I gotta get out and run more miles!"<BR/><BR/>So Zeke, are you surprised to see me post here?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1155155275810543122006-08-09T15:27:00.000-05:002006-08-09T15:27:00.000-05:00Susan, I didn't use speed because that can vary fo...Susan, I didn't use speed because that can vary for age and sex. That's why I converted everything into an age-graded score. <BR/><BR/>For example, a 40 y.o. female running 5 hours would score 40%, while a 40 y.o. male running 2:40 would score 80%. <BR/><BR/>That % is one data point. Now take their mileage for their 2nd data point.<BR/><BR/>The graph (hopefully shows that) as you increase your mileage, your age-graded % goes up, which is the same as your race time coming down.<BR/><BR/>qp, hmmm, I've had such good luck with letsrun and coolrunning. Not. But I'll think about it.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412073727859282887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1155151805005407542006-08-09T14:30:00.000-05:002006-08-09T14:30:00.000-05:00Damn, I gotta get out and run more miles and wish ...Damn, I gotta get out and run more miles and wish your sample was larger.
