IronGay sounds like the kind of guy that hasn't seen his cock in years because of his equator sized stomach.

Good day Clavin, I'm ivin the dream.
Hit spring and the weather's getting better over here, which will hopefully coincide with an increase in my beverage consumption.

Good reading through this thread. Glad there are guys that train for endurance as well as the weights.
A few years ago I warmed up with a mile run in preparation for 40 yard sprints. I was pleased with the the speed I was generating for a guy in his 60's. Then a pain in my Achilles but I pushed through. I think I partially tore it. I had a limp for awhile and couldn't run for a long time. Walking didn't aggravate it so I walked fast for 5 miles at a time. Roughly 3.8 MPH pace done mainly outside but sometimes on the treadmill. Found the fat was melting off doing this combined with weight lifting in the gym. Did this for a couple of years with very occasional runs. Found the walks took the spring out of my runs. My way to counter it was to include some mild sprinting during the walk. Nothing major but I would pick out a land mark like a tree and semi sprint to it. The estimated distances of the strides were 40 yards to 200 yard.
In my younger days I could string together sub 6 minute miles even though I was better at sprinting. I remember telling a guy I was training with, "You really have to be out of shape if you can't run a sub six minute mile." Fast forward to my 60's and you could time my miles with an hour glass, lol.
Recently I slowly transitioned from fast walking to running. Thought it would easy considering my walking 5 miles miles at a fast pace but I firmly believe it took the spring out of my legs. Don't get me wrong. I think fast walking is one of the best things you can do for your health.
Regarding running I was making good progress until some current health issues came up. The last run I had in the heat was 5 miles with the snail pace of 9 and change minute miles. As I age and with health issues I'm still fighting the good fight trying to stay in shape. Hopefully my health issues will improve and I can work on improving my cardio strength.
Not a bodybuilder here. I think if anyone wants to get into great shape a good approach is running and lifting.

No disagreements here. Our super power in the animal kingdom is the ability to run distance, so we should do what we're designed to do.
Good news though - seems to be a general consensus that the best running to do to burn fat AND improve overall times is to run in zone 2 - basically the speed at which you can carry on a normal conversation. It's literally like 10-11 miles for some. I would google and read up on it.
For me, it took away the "guilt" of thinking I had to always be sub 8, and actually makes the runs more enjoyable. I haven't been able to go that slow, but feel like a 9.5 gets me there.
