20's is here, 40's is here, how about a...... (Read 686 times)

Ok so we have a 20's thread and we have a 40's thread why not have a 30's thread. I started running about 2 1/2 months ago doing the C25K and now I am getting ready to start training for my first race.....The Gate River run, using the Hal Higdon 15K training program. Jeremy

Hey Jeremy, welcome to the RA world! Seems the C25K has been a gift to many a runner here. I have passed it along to a lot of folks who seem interested in getting a running routine started. Glad it worked for you. I don't know much about the Higdon program, but good luck with it. Maybe you can answer a question for me. Why is there so much interest in "age-specific" threads? I have tried to follow a lot of the new discussion topics and see what seems like a lot of effort to try and "compartmentalize" into groups that have something in common, but then the threads have little or nothing to do with a specific age group. The discussion is generally quite broad and seems to me would have appeal to more than just, say, 30 somethings. I see the same thing in the Masters group that started up. I go there to see what's unique, and I find questions about Garmins, race plans, etc that would be of interest to a much broader population than masters runners. Don't mind me, I'm just trying to find my way. Nothing wrong with it, I was just wondering. Thanks for your service to our country, Lynn B
