I'd be doing 70+ again but at age 51 my body just can't take it anymore. The most I've done has been 80 miles and that was about 4 years ago. I did hit 52 miles in a week about 4 months ago. Normally now it's about 35-40.

That is a lot. I was in a Marine Corps unit that was "Special" (Retard voice). Jk.

Nah we put about 50 miles in boots a week then an extra 30 or so in running shoes.

I didn't know we were running one day and left my shoes at home, forgot to put them in my trunk.

So I had to wear a buddies Air Jordans for a 12 mile run... Yeah I was 30 minutes slower than my usual partners.

The correct shoe goes a long long way, so whoever says that shoes don't do shit is obviously not a serious runner. I've run in good shoes, great shoes, and excellent shoes, my body and run time reflects each shoe.

That's how I run! I'll have to check these out. I just started running again after a long hiatus due to a surgery.
