The Loneliness of a Long-Distance Runner

[boldie]

3:30 is definitely doable.  I'm just crap in the heat.

I'm also less 'tubbier' than I've ever been and plan on doing a few 10Ks and half-marathons over the next 12 months and breaking my PBs for them.  Then I'll look for a winter marathon to do - and Ra won't be of any use then.

Meh, is there a snow God?

The evidence says there's snow gods.

lol WP Boshi.

I've downloaded another book that looks interesting:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Survival-Fittest-Anatomy-Physical-Performance/dp/0224075071/ref=as_li_wdgt_js_ex?&camp=2486&linkCode=wsw&tag=blondepoker-21&creative=8918

Mike Stroud, studied anthropology and genetics before qualifying as a doctor.  He's probably best known for his antics with Sir Ranulph Fiennes, such as the polar expeditions and the 7 marathons in 7 continents in 7 days.  I'm only a few pages in, but it looks like it's going to be an excellent read.

Excellent book.  A combination of his exploits (mostly with Sir Ranulph Fiennes) and a scientific look at the capabilities of the human body in extreme conditions, as well as how our largely sedentary lives and poor diets aren't suited to the way the human body evolved.

Recommend this one highly - 9/10.

You could if you had a Kindle and I knew how to get round their right protection.

I think they were working on a way of lending e-books - might have just been Amazon though, and I haven't seen what progress they've made.

Yes, there was talk of being able to lend 'books' out to others for two weeks. But not sure if/when it's going to happen.

I think I will, otherwise the illegal sharing will increase.
