    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.

    Yikes, that is a long run for sure. Can you give me a run down on how you do your 1 mile speed training? Do you carry when you run?

    We meet as a group on Wednsdays. Coach makes us run a mile at a comfy pace. Then 30 seconds rest before next mile at as fast as we feel able to pace. then another mile at same fast pace. then a cool down mile at our prefered race distance pace. So for me it goes mile 1 at 10 min mile. mile 2 at about 7:30 mile. mile 3 at about an 8 min mile and cool off mile at 10 min mile. I do carry a folding knife in my camelback when running.

    That's a lot of miles! Most of the reason I stopped running and got so slow is because I stopped running with a group and can't effectively motivate myself.

    your doing a good thing for a great cause!
    my wifes a survivor from thyroid cancer-could of been worse
    so we thank you
    as soon as i scrape some coin together i,ll do a donation

    there are those that are less fortunate then us and need all the help they can get

    i wish i had the time id go out and run a couple of K's myself
    been a while since i did any running also,id have to train up for it
    i usta max the afpt's everytime but since i became a "civvy" i got lazy
    and nothin beats motivation as with running in cadence with a group!!
    keep up the great work!
