Re: t-and-f: running bad for you? (was street)
While I agree that most research on diet and exercise increasing longevity is questionable at best, I have seen one interesting fact about longevity pop up in several good pieces of research. That fact is that the factor which correlates highest with living past 100 years old is people who have consumed chronic, life-long low calorie diets. Of course, this has NOTHING to do with happiness and quality of life, just how long it takes reach the eternal dirt nap. So along with karma, you need to be really hungry most of the time too ; ) John From: ghill [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: ghill [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: track list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: t-and-f: running bad for you?

(was street) .. Our Primary Care Physician is 80 years old and still runs nearly every day and is healthier and happier as a result. happier maybe, but how do you know healthier? Pretty tough concept to prove. So GH, what do you do for fitness/exercise? Don't be an early heart attack bro! I'm from the karma is karma school of thought. You play the hand nature dealt you. If you got good genes, you'll live a long time. Bad genes, a short time. And all the attempts to manipulate the system through diet and/or exercise is pretty much a fraud. Heard one syndicated doctor on the radio recently saying that he believes the only significant thing to increasing longevity is mental. Being happy and getting rid of stress in your life. He said there were some studies which suggested that the real benefit of exercise is that it takes your mind off the stresses which make you nuts; the phyiscal part was a very minor component. gh ps--12-ounce curls, many reps. _ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
Re: t-and-f: Why on the street?
Assuming the street is asphalt, that suface is softer than concrete and thus is less likely to cause overuse injuries like sress fractures. I also personally find curb jumping and uneven sidewalks awkward and disruptive to my rhythm. Perhaps it's all in my mind but I prefer the street.

Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2002 18:16:13 -0700 (PDT) I have to ask all you road runners out there something that has been bothering me for way too long. Every time I see what looks to me like a recreational runner running, they are always on the street, even when a perfectly good sidewalk is available right next to them? All of the serious runners I know and have asked, tell me that they run on the sidewalk when they can. It just seems like common knowledge to not run on the street if you don't have to. (Sometimes I know there is not much of an option, but I am talking about when there is one.) It is obviously very dangerous and there have been multiple times I have had to swerve my car to avoid some jogger running in the street at night. I see it so many times that I really wonder if they are being told to do so by some running book or magazine. Has anyone seen anything published anywhere telling people to run in the street? Is there any logical reason? Like running up and down curbs is dangerous or unhealthy for some reason? Like they think they have the same road rights as cyclists? Are they just too lazy? I just don't get it. Does this bother anyone else or is it just me? I am very curious at to what you all think. Thanks, Dave Cahill Greater Boston Track Club __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

t-and-f: Rabbit Run or Rabbit at Rest?
I'd like to hear the lists thoughts on the whole rabbit issue now that another marathon (in Greece) has been won by one: http://www.iaaf.org/news/index.asp?Filename=/news/Articles/getnews.asp?Code=4321 Do the second place guys have a legit beef or are they just being babies about losing? Is having a rabbit finish, who you are told will quit, different than having a mid-race course change which adds a big hill at mile 23? It certainly can interfere with tactics. Or does everyone agree that anyone on the line is a potential finisher and you should treat them that way? I don't know what to think but I'd love to hear some thoughts.
