I'm sick of this type of thing that has crept into our message board lately - of dissecting other posters' personal performances, and disagreeing with opinions (OPINIONS!!!) with a written tone of smugness, derision, and a "you are wrong, I am right attitude." Just stop it, already.

Originally posted by stallionEven if your story were true, it doesn't explain how you weren't able to translate your anger into a good race now and then, a race befitting somebody who could run 4X1600 in 4:11, which I might add, is a workout a 13:00 5k guy might do.
Remarkable recovery? I was able to run 48,6r and 48,9r with 23 minutes (!) between races at Bruce Jenner in grade-12; a 1.57,1 open 800m and 2.00,7 4x800m leg with 10 minutes between the time I crossed the line to the time I got the baton the same season at a meet hosted in Concord, CA... resting pulse, 130 @ 60 seconds after the first run. I ran a 9.33 2-mile in Los Gatos, CA with three weeks of total training between the previous 26-may and mid-october and finished up the season with a state meet berth and a 15.15 target for the Woodward Park course.... you:d have heard of me by that point. Instead, I got to watch the race unfold after 2.000m with the leaders pulling away from me due to sickness.
Have you ever been injured at a key point in your training stage? I was. At this stage, everything you question becomes irrelevant, because you have no idea in the slightest how my body reacted to the recovery and rehabilitation, nor if I ever reached that pinnacle again.
Insofar as I have never stated I was able to repeat that - or get close, that should clue you in on something right there, namely that I was in the form of my life, and the 13.20 3-mile was my proof that things were where they were supposed to be.
I never recovered my form following that autumn, as I ran injured in track following a hellacious 800m effort - one I took for the team. The following autumn - one again, where I didn:t contest cross country, I developed chondromalacia - a fact I have stated on more than one occasion here. I increased my weekly km from 110 to 123 - not a significant factor for someone like you, a 10km guy. For me, a guy who ran 100m/200m/400m as well as 800m/1.500m, it was a ligament-killer when the workout schedule went from singular to double three times a week and the sunday runs, which I ran with a 1.47 800m runner, increased to 26km per run.
That:s my story, and I:m glad to have been a part of a movement back then, one, which if it had come to fruition, would have had me in a very nice group of company.
