Looking for virtual training partners

posted about 2 years ago | Report

Just joined the site but been running for a long time. Would like to "friend up" with other masters (40+ year old) guys out there to follow training and to push or pull me. Recent races around 38 10k and 1:25 half but whether you're faster or slower, if you're a geezer like me and out there everyday, I'd like to follow your training.

    Welcome Mark, you have come to the right sight for motivation and sharing of the pain. I am currently training for my first triathlon race in May at the tender age of 50! Look forward to following your training!

    Hi Mark,
    I'm looking for training partners too. I'm in a much smaller town and can rarely meet up with the folks near my pace and goals. I'm a little slower than you at 40 in the 10k and 90 in the half, but I've made a big improvement this past year and plan to continue. No way have I been recording runs since 1980, yikes; I've spent today on this site and a few hours with Brooks ID plan. I'm here http://www.dailymile.com/people/dacollins#ref=tophd and my club is http://www.southcoastrunningclub.com/id2.htm
    Happy New Year, Anthony

    Mark, I look forward to following your progress. Be glad to help push, but it looks like you have no trouble with motivation. Good idea.

    I have one 10K at 39:33 and one 1/2 at 1:27 and last marathon was 3:13. Still looking for my first Marathon < 3:10 and have a fantasy about a < 3:00 Marathon before my age catches up with me. At 48, I feel I can can still get a bit faster.

    Hello Mark, just turned 42. My running is getting better. I picked it up after a 20 year volleyball career. Two back surgeries ended v-ball for me. All you guys at 40+ amaze me with your times. I want a 1:30 half and 3:30 marathon. My challenge is to stay healthy through an extended period. It will be great to exchange experiences.
