That's pretty damn good too. Takes me like 26 to get around....

edit: I still can't get over the pole vault thing. That's f*#king high....

I tried the pole vault once and busted my arse really hard so coach said I should pass on it LOL.

Roger MrBlack. I got a better one than that though.

I was injured in January of 2001 (itb syndrome). My friend at work asked me to run a mini-marathon with him in April. Exactly 4 weeks before the half-marathon, I began training. At the beginning of the training, I was doing 15 miles per week with a long run of 6 miles. Three weeks later, I was doing 45 miles per week, with a long run of 14 miles. My time was 1 hour 30 minutes for the mini.

After work tonight, I will dig out my running books and articles and post some evidence.

Ah, the old "It's genetics" argument. We'll disagree for sure, as this is an old argument amongst runners. While it's true you cannot bring yourself to elite level by conditioning alone, you can become very competitive with all but the very best. That covers more than 90% of the people that you'd ever meet.

Unless you have some fysical defect, everyone can be trained to be an elite athlete IF you have what it takes "upstairs"

The genetics thing is bull unless as i said its a defect or injury.
