Swimming laps is the safest way to train for cardio. It won't trash your body like running will.

10 min abs?

would you like me to take you to our leader?

it's rare that a male in our gym can keep up with the girls doing 10 min abs...but they keep trying...i think i let one of them punch me in the stomach last night...

In all serious-ness...I need to pick up some training books since I have my first marathon scheduled this winter. I hate running while I'm running but damn it feels good when you're done. I suck too. Just getting to 12 minute miles. Does that impress anyone?

What marathon are you doing? I'm trying to find a good one for the fall/winter.

Climb Time Girl's Club...don't tell me you haven't heard of our 10 min abs etc etc

I've heard of the girl's club and the abs routine. Jr. and Rhino told me that it was a cake walk unless your were having an uncontrolled IBS spasm. I imagine they feigned difficulty in order to garner female sympathy and phone numbers.

Was it Joan Samuelson,(a 2:20 marathoner) who after running the NYC Marathon with Fred Lebow, (his last before he died) commented that she had so much respect for the back of the packers. She said if it took her 4 or more hours to fininsh a marathin, she might never have taken up the sport.

swimmings great until you fry your rotator cuffs, mine are gone, thats what i got for swimming 5 miles a day in high school. no running, no swimming. good cardio for me is hard to find. oh yeah, swimming doesn't help you loose wieght like running does since its not a wieght bearing activity. however, it does raise your matabolism alot so if you do run it is more effective at cutting wieght.

did you have a coach in hs when you were swimming? sucks about your shoulders, swimming is usually great about building up shoulder strength...

unless those 5 miles were all done in butterfly style.

if that's the case....dah-am!
