Because Running Fast Is More Fun Than

You Train Best Where You Are The Happiest.

You Don't Run 26 Miles At Five Minutes A Mile On Good Looks And A Secret Recipe.

I Started In Law School In '71 And Graduated In '74. So I Was Training For The Olympics, Running Or Averaging Around 20 Miles A Day And Going To Law School Full Time.

Three Half-mile Repeats On The Track At 5-k Race Pace With A Short Recovery Jog In Between Shouldn't Scare Anyone Away-and It Will Improve Your Speed.

There's Obviously Some Validity To It. But I Think It Also Points Out That You Obviously Can Do It On Your Own Because People Have Been Doing It Long Before They Had The Stuff.
