First 10 mile run!!!

[mickey malone]

(Life story coming up)

Turned 40 last year & was grossly obese weighing 233lb (106kilo). Joined the local boxing gym and within 9 months got wight down to 183lb (83kilo this morning)

Started running and now train 6 days a week. 3 boxing 3 running.

I downloaded a great dvd rip called CHI running which shows you how to run with min effort.Would recomend it to everyone.

Set 2 goals this year.

1st ever fight Sept 12th (white collar event)

1st ever full marathon Nov 29th


Just wished i had seen the light and got this fit years ago.But better late than never huh!?



If you want a great site to check yer run distances is (mapmyrun)

Haven't got time to tell you mine, but I was an exceptionally fast sprinter 100m in 12 secs
and I've already submitted details of my training runs, which I used to do 4 times a week.. I was only an average LD runner..
I'm now 45, living in a tropical climate & run 2 miles every other day.. Push/press ups were my forte.. 1000 a day (when I was competing) These days around 400 (even if I'm drunk) No one's ever beaten me on these (I'm quite proud of that, but the time is nigh) I had a brief amateur career & did OK W9 L2 D2.. I'd describe my style as a crafty southpaw with a suspect left hook, but a vintage right cross/left uppercut.. I was known for a good chin, but 1 of my defeats was a cuts stoppage.. I still keep my hand in, but am no where near your level of fitness.. However, I'm just about still able to disguise this as I've retained satisfactory ring craft & hand speed.. But you won't be seeing me on the TV just yet lol..
I emigrated to Thailand about 6 years ago & own/run a boxing theme bar.. I'm in regular contact with quite a few pros, boxing & mai thai.. I also do sponsorship deals.
Before this, I lived & worked in London & very nearly entered the white collar scene.. I trained a few times at a gym (can't remember the name of it) in High Holborn, West London but became dispondent as most of the guys were soft stock brokers & pitiful at boxing.. I couldn't get a decent spar for love nor money! (not in the least suggesting that you're one of em lol) so I went back to 4 pints of Guinness & a good nights sleep.. These days, I'm a sprightly 165 & could probably get down to 152 with a gun to my head lol but you can forget welter for sure..
I'd like to wish you every success with regard to your forthcoming challenges.. From what you've told me, it appears that you haven't abused your health ie: smoking, steroids etc, so Just to give you a bit of eternal inspiration, remember the words of the 40 something George Foreman.. I'm like a glass that's been turned upside down for 10 years, if could do it then, I can still do it now! Regards mm

Not to put you down :P, but 12 secs in a 100m isn't fast.

Not to put you down :P, but 12 secs in a 100m isn't fast.

Yeah. I ran 12.1 in 8th grade - it's not really that fast at all.

[RightCross94]

Not to put you down :P, but 12 secs in a 100m isn't fast.

really.....i thought that was good

my best time for 100 is just under 14 secs...im a crap short sprinter, im good at 800m and 1600m, and any sort of long distance

Major 100 m races, such as at the Olympic Games, attract much attention, particularly when the world record is thought to be within reach.
Usain Bolt breaking the world and Olympic records at the 2008 Beijing Olympics

The men's world record has been improved upon twelve times since the introduction of electronic timing in 1968, never being surpassed by more than 0.05 s at a time. The current men's world record of 9.69 s is held by Usain Bolt of Jamaica, set at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games final on 16 August 2008.[1] The current women's world record of 10.49 s was set by Florence Griffith-Joyner of the USA, in Indianapolis, Indiana, on 16 July 1988.[2]

I'm not sure if your saying its not a big difference between 9.69 and 12s but its a HUGE difference. Every.1 sec is major.

I was running 11s in 9th grade, really good HS times are 10s.

so you are telling me that a really good HS times is almost as good as the WOLRD RECORD SET BY BOLT??????

Dude why don't you read what I wrote. THIS IS SPRINTING, you are running a SHORT distance. Differences in time are not the same when compared to Middle Distance and Long Distance. Sprints are from 55m-400m (400m can be argued to be Mid but is not consider so), Mid Distance is 800-1600 (99.9% sure), Long Distance is above that. Every .1 sec is HUGE! Before you dispute my claims you can join a track team (provided you are still in HS) or you can look at some records and watch some videos. I was doing 12s in 8th grade and 11s in 9th + 10th grade.

You notice the differences between those times? .1, .02, .01, .05, .02, .04, .02

Edit:
Dudes around my age are running low 10s.
