So i hope it is not true it takes 8-9 years to reach your running peak, hope to be there in half that time...lol...good job starflight keep up the good pace, i did not start running till 4 years ago and was a pack a day smoker and could hardly last 5 min on a treadmill, know running sub 10min miles and doing more then i thought i ever could so keep the faith my friend.
That is good going, I am sure you will get there sooner!!
I mean when i started a year ago, my 5 mile time was about the same as yours, now I can knock 5 mile out ona very easy run in about, 40 mins, and pushing the tempo in about 34. In a race I think I will be close to 33. All about sticking with it and it will come. |
