We May Train Or Peak For A

I've Run A Lot Of Miles Over The Years, Some Fast And Some Not So Fast. I've Won Some Big Races And I've Had Some Big Disappointments, But I Enjoy The Freedom Of Running And The Challenge Of Training And Competition As Much Now As When I First Started Back In High School.

I'm Interested In Dathan Ritzenhein's Future In The Marathon, And I Believe That's Where We Need To Address Some Issues He Seems To Have. He's Had Good Marathon Coaches - Both Brad Hudson And Me. He's Figured Out The Fueling. He's Got This Incredible Aerobic Engine. But Something's Still Wrong.

I Can't Tell You Why A Particular Athlete Would Leave A Certain Coach, But I Can Tell You There Could Be Many Reasons. They Could Have Personality Conflicts. They Could Have Misunderstandings. Lots Of Stuff Can Happen.

I've Never Enjoyed My Running More. I Also Do 200 Sit-ups A Day, 60 Push-ups, And A Lot Of Stretching. I've Had Some Back Issues. I Think The Stretching Helps With That.

I'm Doing Great Heart-wise. I Get A Complete Stress Test Once A Year, And Those Have Gone Well. I Have Stents In Two Arteries, And They Are Holding Up. My Other Arteries Haven't Shown Any Additional Clogging.
