Benefits of cycling?

WHO was saying this? I bet it was the coaches, with all their fancy theories. Eammon ran 10K in 27:23. Are you saying if he'd have lost a stone he'd have been down in the 26's like the Africans of today? Not so long ago you were saying that wasn't possible without cheating.

I put it to you that if he HAD come down to 9.5/10st then he'd have been underweight, felt weak, and ran worse.

On the fells, Simon Booth and Jonny Bland are hardly lightweights, yet amongst the best descenders around (if the not THE best 2) despite all that pressure to absorb.

Lots of knowledge Chris, but no offence, too many flaws in some of your arguments.

Tim I don't think he would have run any faster.You're jumping to conclusions.E.Martin was at the right weight for him.Had he lost any more weight his performance at some point would have deteriorated.
