I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it. dgb2n@yahoo.com
One day at a time
This happened to me at work today. OK, not exactly but similar. I was the slower of the two, talking about the upcoming Army 10 miler. The other guy runs maybe a third of my mileage and is shooting for about 3 minutes faster than I will probably run. We're both about the same age. Actually, he was a couple of years older. Some people are born to run fast.

Can someone explain this to me or at least lead me in the right direction. Say you take two runners who start at the same time and are running at approximately the same pace. One runner has a history of exercise dating back to 2001 and the other has no exercise history. The runner with no exercise history makes greater gains in their running than does the one with the history. Why?

Probably because of hte one with the history is already closer to their max potential than the person with no history. If you are close to your potential best it takes ALOT of work to improve, sombody that is far from there potential can improve with only a little bit of work.
