But on the masters level, it's far more common than sprinting. I got into 5k running in '07 because it was so popular, seemed like everyone and their brother was running 5ks. The entire "running community" in my town seems to be about road running/ racing... as a masters sprinter, I feel like a lone wolf. So, I think training for long distances ... maybe not so rare.

I admire you and when I grow up, perhaps I can be 'a little' like you.wey44https://www.blogger.com/profile/16289395632932862966noreply@blogger.com
