Maybe the elites should be making their pilgrimage to that cemetery instead of to Mammoth or Oregon.
'He doesn't do pick-ups or progression runs or marathon-pace work. He doesn't even stop for water. Just 3 hours a day of what he calls "plodding" or "jogging."'

Yeah, that's what he tells interviewers, but we should get someone to spy on him, ......he probably has a secret workout like the 30-20-10.....or p90x
I am surprise that you guys have never heard of Ed Whitlock. This guy is the Usain Bolt of distance running at his age. Unlike Paul Ryan he really ran a sub 3hr and this when he was in his seventies. I have had the pleasure of running the Scotia Marathon in Toronto with Ed. Ed is a major celebrity at this event and he is a real charmer and an inspiration to many.

Meh, I read that Paul Ryan ran a 1:07 half marathon when he was 81.
Seriously though, I hope I can run like that dude when I'm old, even when I'm 60 I'd take that!
HTFU? Why not!

Speed Coach: Brooklyn Tri Club
No, I think he's a celebrity here on RA as well.

who hasn't heard of Ed Whitlock?
Ed is great .. mind you that half is soft compared with his marathon record.
Guess i didn't pick up Ileneforward

~1:39 vs ~3:15...."soft" is putting it mildly.
2013 goals: Kick some arse. Moreso than 2012.
