Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I don't want to derail your thread, but I notice that every time I see a car with a 26.2 or a 13.1 sticker, I always get next to them so I can see if the driver is fat or not. This thread makes me want to go run right now. I'll be lucky if I can go half a mile without stopping. Wish me luck!

I used to run a lot, and the furthest I ever ran was about 7 miles in a little over an hour. I started gaining weight though, the more I ran. Now I haven't run in about a year and weigh 20 lbs more than when I started running. My normal weight was was around 185lbs. Now I've been holding steady at about 205 lbs for the last year or so. I'm logging off to go run a half mile right now. I'll let you know how it went. Good thing you don't need breath to be able to type.
EDIT: Good for you by the way. Keep it up.

Thank you for posting this thread again. It is for a good cause and it got me to get off my fat tootie and go outside and run again. I feel great. I hope it motivates other people as well.

Cool. I just got back from team training. Did 1 mile speed runs. Got down to a 8 min flat on 1 of them. Keep it up you will be amazed how quickly your time and distance pick up

I used to be able to run a 7 minute mile with very low 8 minute mile pace. I've fallen a pretty long way. Thanks for the encouragement.

I say don't worry about ur VO2 max, unless ur wanting to be a world class runner and have absolutely nothing else to train. But keep it up and only run at which ur comfortable at, never over do it or you'll end up hating it and stopping
I don't go out of my way to calculate the VO2 max, it is automatic with the logging program I use. I'm not worried about my VO2 because I'm pretty sure it will always be weak. I think the highest I've ever even seen was 32.

Bump for a good cause.
