    Here's a related article on his cemetery training:

    from the article:

     

    "When at the height of marathon training, Whitlock does cemetery loops for 3 hours a day, every day. 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.' "

     

    Go, Ed.Cool


    Mmmmm...beer

      I hope I'm still plodding along in my 80s!  Way to go Ed. Smile

          As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.
