good lord 5 miles @ 7 per is ****ing impressive. i can't even do sub 8 minute miles for 5 miles.

[Hitman932]

I used to have a run a mile in 6 minutes or less for football conditioning in college.

I dreaded in every year more than anything I ever had to do.

I usually checked in at 5:59 and vomited shortly thereafter.

Even in the best shape I would have never been capable of running 5 miles in 35 minutes. Some people are blessed with incredible cardiovascular strength, others can train their whole lives and be in their very best shape and never be able to come close to doing that.

You don't just get off your ass one day and decide to run at that pace. You have to build up to it by running consistently over a long period of time. You quickly jump to that conclusion at the end there, you're basically taking away from Johnson's and others work ethics, by saying they were born to be able to do that. I bet if you became serious about your running, and did it most days of the week, you'd surprise yourself.

As for Johnson, i'm pulling for him. I've always like him, even tough he destroyed Roy, who was the guy who made me a boxing fan when I was a kid.

Johnson is a great guy,dedicated to his craft and working hard to be at his best still.

But why is he running so much so close to the fight?,is this not possible bad for him?.

Froch and Johnson will make a good fight,but Froch can pull this off,he has the skills,the grit,the chin and heart to pull it off.

Maybe he knows what hes doing and has done it always but maybe he has yet some pounds to lose. Hopefully he will not be overtrained. I hope Johnson beats Froch.

he is actually correct.

depending on your genetics depends on your running capabilities.

fast twitch muscle fibers vs. slow twitch muscle fibers. a perfect example

would be pascal (fast twitch) vs hopkins(slow twitch)

of course hopkins won due to skill and ring iq, but my point is their abilities

to endure longer durations where clearly pascal does not have the advantage

Jhonson is a warrior who will always be competitive, and i think he is better than abraham**
