There are two highs (ime) in running. One is the weird and

I gotta call bull**** here, Badg. 6-7 minute/mile pace is hardly
"jogging" -- 9 minutes in much less 90! (Works out to a ~3-hour
marathon,
easily good enough to qualify for Boston if I'm not mistaken.)
Bill "you're not THAT super, man" S.
I was going to just watch all the flaming here but a 9 minute mile
is easy. I was in the Boy Scouts around 1960 (61?) and one of the
things we were taught was how to do a 9 minute mile as a group. It
was run slowly for xx seconds then walk for xx seconds and repeat
as needed, all day even. My group came in just 4 seconds under
9 minutes and nobody was even breathing that hard. What I have
noticed is that all the biking never gets me to a high and I
wouldn't want to be there anyway since if I got there I would
probably
bliss out and crash. Different activities need different approaches.
For God's sake Bill learn to read. Badger was talking about 6-7
minute miles *90 minutes* into a run. I said that pace was hardly
"jogging" even
*9* minutes into a run, much less 90. I never mentioned 9-minute
miles at
all. (It's just a coincidence that that was my pace no matter HOW
long I ran! 
)
Bill "slow and steady (may not win the race, but gets there)" S.
I repent. Sometimes I get in a hurry to go through all the posts.
There are 4 LINUX groups that I am looking at for information
and this group has outposted all 4 of the LINUX combined.
This thread (slightly unraveled.) has gotten me to wondering how
fast I actually could do a mile. I do know that all the biking
has helped but I wonder how much. Any biker/runners out there other
than the OP?
That's fine, but just remember that running ONE mile is very different from
running 5, 10, 15 or more miles. Kind of like the difference between a 5 km
time trial and a 165 km road race?
Bill "or something like that" S.
