5.25 super easy miles. I thought I would go longer, but it dawned on me that I don't have to work tomorrow so I can get a long run in then.
Leaving me time for Meet The Press, church, and football.
Sad to see Chris Chataway died today at 85. Chataway was the cigarette smoking training partner of Roger Bannister and former world recoord holder in the 5000 meters himself. I'm impressed with anyone who smokes a pack a day and still runs a 13:51 5k in the 1950s.
Chataway was also a successful politician and Conservative Member of Parliament. He retired from running at age 25. On a lark, at age 73, he ran a 22 minute 5k.
I love the following quote from the London Telegraph about his world record kk's...
"On the back of a mere 25 training miles per week, plus nicotene, it was damned hard and painful work"
PM: Walk/jogged to the gym and back. Lifting and plyos at the gym.
