klw Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Does anyone have any thoughts on what the weather is looking like for Monday's race? The start time is in waves but for most the period for the race is 10 am to 2pm. Some folks are getting nervous by temps near 80 being thrown around. http://www.letsrun.c...?thread=4525482 At the moment the point and click is for Sunny and a high of 71. http://forecast.weat...d2=-71.0603&e=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now, at least 70s seems like a good bet, but if the front is slow to come through...could be lower 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 It looks to me like it's around 80 by noon time..And probably fairly muggy. Fronts typically move slower than progged and it's warmest just ahead of the front. Hopefully in a year or 2 I'll be able to qualify to run in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 You're crazy. Congrats on having no knees by age 50. Dude that is a myth. There are numerous studies out there that show distance running is not harmful to knees. You need to read up on that before making those types of comments. It's the weightlifters that need to worry. They have no fitness level and no cardio. They bulk up and then as they age all the muscle turns to fat and you end up sloppy and fat with no level of fitness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You watch. 5-6 miles is one thing. 10+ miles each day is not good. You can't base it on 1 50 yr old guy who had a bad knee. It's actually very good for the joints. And who runs 10 miles everyday?

I started running 5 years ago and had more knee problems training for my first half marathon then I do running my 50 mile/100k races. Most runners injury themselves through improper training techniques and poor core strength. In the past year I've logged close to 2,900 miles and my legs/joints have never felt better. Moments before I saw this thread I saw the forecast and thought, thank god I am not running Boston this year. 80+ is just misery for a runner! I was overheating in the Ice Marathon this year in Antartica and its was 5 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Au contraire mon fraire (read with your best Bart Simpson voice) 2008 study of marathon runners found long term running may actually be protective of knees. http://well.blogs.ny...elp-your-knees/ An article in Skeletal Radiology, a well-respected journal, created something of a sensation in Europe last year. It reported that researchers from Danube Hospital in Austria examined the knees of marathon runners using M.R.I. imaging, before and after the 1997 Vienna marathon. Ten years later, they scanned the same runners’ knees again. The results were striking. “No major new internal damage in the knee joints of marathon runners was found after a 10-year interval,” the researchers reported. An important 2008 study, this one from Stanford University, followed middle-aged, longtime distance runners (not necessarily marathoners) for nearly 20 years, beginning in 1984, when most were in their 50s or 60s. At that time, 6.7 percent of the runners had creaky, mildly arthritic knees, while none of an age-matched control group did. After 20 years, however, the runners’ knees were healthier; only 20 percent showed arthritic changes, versus 32 percent of the control group’s knees. Barely 2 percent of the runners’ knees were severely arthritic, while almost 10 percent of the control group’s were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I cut I felt like I couldn't do anything lol. Now I can carry in all the groceries at once in one hand and stuff like that even if I put on some fat. Just honestly wondering.

You don't burn all your muscles from running. That's another myth. Running just makes the muscles lean . You burn the glycogen/sugar in your body. It's the meatheads with the huge arms that lose their mass if they start doing alot of running..and that's why people think you lose your muscle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister did about 3 years ago. I'll ask her to see what she did. I mean it's like 15,000 people running so how can they yank you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
