That is a good question!… I have been asked that by a few folks here at timelessathlete.com and it appears that I have not made a post in almost a year…
Well, there is a good reason for that (at least I think it is)… over the last few months I have been training, not for any particular event, but just for me… I wanted to test (try out) some different training regiments to see what works and what doesn’t, especially for the “older” individual…

Your thinking… “Heck I’m no spring chicken anymore”. The old body just can’t do that kind of exercise, and besides I have not walked any distance let alone run anywhere in 20 years or more.
Well, I’m here to tell you that you can achieve it, that you can accomplish a Half Marathon or even a full Marathon. Will it be easy.. Heck NO! will it be fun… Heck YEAH! will you love it???? that depends… Some days you will, some days you won’t.
