Run-Down Forums

johnlvs2run

Henry Rono is making a comeback with his running and is in the second month of his training. He has been posting about this on another forum and has a lot of interest there but, for whatever reason, a lot of the messages have kept disappearing.

After emailing with Dan, I have recommended this forum to Henry and hopefully he will come here to keep posting about this training and also his interest helping others. In the meantime please let Henry know he will be welcome here, and without having his messages about training removed.

Thanks and all the best with your running.

On behalf of everyone here, welcome!

This is going to be very exciting for everyone here. As one of the older posters here, and a native of Oregon, I had the opportunity to see Henry Rono run many times while he was at Washington State.

Hi Henry,

This is J.R. You made it here, great. Now that you are signed in, just use the same link for this thread each time you come here. Anyone can see your messages here and respond, just like on the other forum, and the messages about training will stay here.

Henry,
I think those are runners.
The more messages you post then the more runners you get.

Henry, where are you located? 8000' makes my lungs burn just thinking about it.

The "funny faces" are probably referring to the emoticons (smilies) to the left of the box for posting messages. Click on one and it'll be inserted into your post to add a bit of meaning, like a wink when you're kidding around.

The runners to side of each post represent visually how many posts you've made, like John said.

You could type in a Subject for each message to indicate who you're responding to, but it's easier and clearer to use the Quote button to copy full posts or partial snips (ctrl-c for copy, ctrl-v for paste), like so:

Some background info would help for those that haven't followed your previous threads at letsrun. Are you trying to replicate the training you did in your world class days, or are you devising a new plan to get you back to competitive shape? What all goes into the 40 days, and is that it for that plan or is it merely Phase I of something larger?

Here's the main letsrun thread, I believe, which includes the numerous lost posts (detailed on pg. 23):

http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=1390583

And here's the continuation:

http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=1444899

Does that cover it for background info, or are there others I should be aware of?

Dan,

That covers it, though most of Henry's and other's messages from those threads have been unfortunately removed, and new messages are still being removed.

Hopefully we can keep all Henry's new messages going on here. Smile

Welcome to the forum Henry. As a distance runner myself I look forward to reading your posts and having the opportunity to ask questions. It is going to be fun getting a chance to communicate with a distance legend.

Here is an update from Henry today:

"The mile record currently is 4:27 minutes or 4:25 minutes right?

On my phase II training the 11 days of phase II which 41 days total:30-days phase I.

I'm reading on my intervals,1 milex2:7:35,6:40 this morning,after climbing the hill for one hour.So I'm incorporating hills,long runs and intervals= to world record between now and five months or sooner.The weights still standing at 200lbs.I have to be between 170lbs-145lbs.Once the weight start heading down hill then 4:25 minutes per mile is going to be easy.Those thirty-five lbs is hurting my knees and hips,so I use weight training to strenghten those areas.I did that last night and it was easy I made it 6:40 minutes from where started was 10:25 minutes last week.

This is better than last week.

Henry
