A buddy of mine naturally runs right around a 7 minute mile pace and did a scorching 3 hour marathon a couple of years ago. He's getting back into it and we went for a run yesterday. My goal is to run 7:30 minute miles for the CCM, so he'll be a perfect training partner. We went for a fast-for-me 5.5 miles yesterday, and it felt good. No issues with the calf, although I'm taking it easy today. Good stuff.

This is an experiment in distance training. We are a bunch of guys in our 30s who live far apart. This is our training blog. We hope to use each others postings as motivation in our own training.

Funny, you went out faster than normal, and I went out slower than normal.
You are the yin to my yang.
In the most hetero way possible, of course . . . haha.

unbelievable.
What? Does our banter offend?
