He retired from professional running altogether as far as I know. Everything.
Yep, that's what I read too. It seems a shame to hang up talent like that but he's got to do what works for him, I guess.
5 miles for me.
That's what I like about strides. That, and I'm not trying to hit a certain pace, just go as fast as I can.
With 200s, though, you usually try to hit a certain pace, or have a certain time target for them, which is the same thing.
But one could do them like strides, and not care about anything other than run the distance fast. That is also true for all intervals. Damn, running is simple: we get to do whatever the hell we want!
Ok. The 40 lbs of muscles make more sense, then. Maybe he can hang on the beach and get sponsorships from rich middle aged women with his new abs
