I trained for less than three-quarters of an hour, maybe five days a week - I didn't have time to do more. But it was all about quality, not quantity - so I didn't waste time jogging, ever.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am never out there just jogging for the heck of it. I never do that. I start to run with a goal in mind, whether it's a certain time or certain distance or a specific heart-rate goal, and then I am done.
On the actual competition days, you get about three or four hours of physical exertion - between an hour-long warm-up, recovery in-between runs, the training runs, and then the runs themselves.
I used to run a full marathon in three hours and 25 or 26 minutes. Not any more.
I don't believe in jogging. It extends your life - but by exactly the amount of time you spend jogging.
I trained 8 hours a day 7 seven days a week and I had 2 weeks off in a year.
Fitness has always been one of my strengths. I can do all the long-distance runs. When I was at school and we entered the competitions, I used to do the 100m, 200m, and the 1500m as well, so it's never just been a pace thing.
It's easy to get four days a week of training in and I don't spend more than 55-60 minutes in the gym.
I run in a local park two or three times a week. I probably should do more than I do, but I also do weight-lifting along with that cardio.
I go jogging for 25 minutes every morning, even if I'm away from home.
I run a lot. I love running. I try to run at least half an hour a day.
