(not quite double that now!) That was a lie. It was really 118, but Coach Groves would not allow that to be in his brochure. And I didn't drink anything in a marathon until my fourth one. Like, I said, I'm an idiot.skwillihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17216150339054413310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8016328985438205999.post-14703406466582895362015-08-10T10:34:26.599-07:002015-08-10T10:34:26.599-07:00Another of my brilliant idiocies back in the mid 6...Another of my brilliant idiocies back in the mid 60's was 'less weight, the faster you can run.' So I stopped drinking water after workouts. There was no such thing as water during workouts. I take that back. In the winters in our unheated indoor facility we had hot tea available. Anyway, I dropped my weight from 155 pounds, from an already very lean person down to 149 pounds. But on the third day I could no longer walk out to the track. I put two and two together and started back on the water and was better in no time. So much for experimenting.

At ...Other than my aforementioned 24-Hour Relay!!! At Penn State in the late 70s there were many hard workouts that I didn't particularly like. The 1 1/2 mile repeats on Julian Pike (a mountain) were not a favorite. But the absolute worst was what was essentially a tempo workout on the 10K XC course. The top guys would surge and relax. Us "non-top" guys would try to catch up, and almost make it back until the next surge started. On and on until you were running flat-out for the whole 10K course. Often I had a better time on Wednesday during the workout than I did on Saturday at the meet. But then I was an idiot...skwillihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17216150339054413310noreply@blogger.com
