in the humble opinion of this club the invention of the Internet has in some respects been a boon for running and in others it has been a disaster.
Take for instance the daily obligation to put everything into writing for the world to see featuring non-important details and splits for every mile and is it really important to know what, when and how much you eat not to mention do we really need to know when and if you used the bathroom?
In the old days runners trained just as hard or even harder than they do now and it was more or less pure speculation on what they did to get there or for that matter what they ate.
We all heard rumors of Bill Rodgers doing 140 mpw while devouring boxes of Twinkies but rarely was it ever concrete news from the proverbial horses mouth as in today. This lack of information drove us all to higher levels, because if 'he' MIGHT be doing something, then 'we' definitely SHOULD.
With this said winter is a time to get stronger and become an even better runner. We encourage you to spend your time running not wasting time telling us stuff that is just not that important in the big picture.
Run Strong and rest assured will be too!
