Training for the Elderly
I think it is official that I am the oldest mommy here. I am here to post my training plan for Boston. It is the less is more marathon plan (Actually it is called "16-week FIRST training plan. I read about it in runners world and found it on their website. In a nutshell it is running three days a week and cross training another two. The article talks about how the cross training improve maximal oxygen uptake and lactate threshold. I am choosing this plan because I seem to be injury prone. I didn't actually follow it for St. George but I did cross train to get ready for St. George. I plan to follow this plan with the speed work and tempo runs and hope to do well in Boston.

Elderly?! You are in better shape than most of us, I would presume! :-) I have always been amazed by your innate skill and work ethic. I can't wait to hear all about Boston. And I am glad you found a plan that helps you stay relatively injury free. You rock!
I think we can all agree that age is a state of health! What do a few wrinkles or grey hairs matter when the person can run a marathon, or has low body fat and sexy legs! I'm almost 32 and can't wait to look better and feel better than I do now...when I'm forty! You Go Sexy Mommy!
Hey, Foxy lady! You know you are an inspiration to us all! And watch who you're calling "elderly"... we're all just a couple years younger than you! ;)
Your plan sounds like a good one.
