Welcome all. The RWOL 3:20 thread has a long history of great running, sophomoric behavior and excellent advice. Actually running sub 3:20 is a nice added extra, but it isn't mandatory. Join the thread, get faster, and share your weekly running log, your neuroses, your BOTTs, ultras, doubles, Ducks, sandbagging and R2H. Once you've had 3:20, you can never go back.

Welcome!

Do folks really target 3:20 these days? I know there's a big group of you and that's way cool and please keep talking. My question is specifically about the number itself.

Maybe this group will get Paulski's butt over here.

Good times never seemed so good.

Shows how old the thread is. In my day 3:20 meant something. At least it used to for a 40 year old guy.

We need PhatMan. Stay off my lawn.

Jim -- there is a 50K in the Marin Headlands December 15. If I bail on CIM, do you want to run that? How the foot? It's the Pacific Coast Trail series.

Earmuffs.

This is a fun place. Even for people targeting a strange goal.

Hmm...I don't have a long history of great running, I don't have excellent advice, and I have not run a sub-3:20. Can I hang out here with the cool kids anyway??? Black eye (Well, except for whoever punched me in the eye.)
