Background

When I Started: no information entered
HOW I STARTED:

I first started going to the gym in my mid-teens. I quickly gained a whole lot of muscle, topping off at around 200lbs at the age of 16. After HS, I did very little weight training until I got into running in 2002. Since then I have used weight training to increase muscle endurance and help prevent injury.

funkyfit
funkyfit I just read your article on vegetarian diets and bodybuilding. This is my first official week meat free and I am feeling more confident about what I am doing after reading that. Thanks. May 9, 2008 1:44pm
Pheidippides
Pheidippides Great physique, especially for a long distance runner. I'm an aspiring marathoner, but currently hobbled by Achilles tendonitis. I wish I'd started serious strength training earlier and run smarter to avoid it. Right now I'm just trying to get back into running, hopefully run some 10Ks next year. Good luck! Nov 24, 2007 7:35am
100%beef
100%beef Terrific action avitar pic, guy. The rip in your quad is awesome. You've got a clean and lean runner's physique. Nice, really nice. Nov 24, 2007 7:08am
mean vegan_old
mean vegan_old How long did it take you to build up to doing ultramarathons? What do you think is most important to remaining injury free? How does weight training fit into your over all workout program? Do you take any recovery supplements? Oct 13, 2007 10:38am
musclerussell
musclerussell Never tried an ultramarathon, that's some dedication! Have done reg marathons tho, Boston twice...now not much cardio at all, just lifting. Good luck with your goals. Aug 5, 2007 2:50am
Stecman
Stecman You should start a bodyblog and tell us about your training and races. Might be one of those things that you don't want to talk about afterward but I think it'd be so fascinating to so many people, including me. Jul 22, 2007 11:41pm
allewisbny
allewisbny Finally found another runner! I'm doing a 5k Wednesday, Next year I'm planning on doing a 1/2 marathon Jul 20, 2007 2:51pm
Captain Ahab
Captain Ahab You are proof that enven runners can benefit from a good gym routine. You are making great progress and I look forward to seeing how it helps you in your ultra marathons. Keep pushing that envelope. Jul 20, 2007 2:46pm
Stecman
Stecman Wow - I love running (not at the level your at yet, but theres nothing like it) but I also love the results of lifting and the muscle gains - But it seems like it's counterproductive, when I lift hard it slows me down. Have you noticed this? Jun 16, 2007 3:35am
TrailrParkTrash
TrailrParkTrash Ohh... well I can provide some moral support from the sidelines..LOL May 10, 2007 9:21am
TrailrParkTrash
TrailrParkTrash 100 MILES!? AYEAYEAYE! Now THAT is a race! LOL. How do you train for that? I get bored after 2.5 miles on a treadmill ;) May 10, 2007 4:48am
TrailrParkTrash
TrailrParkTrash How's spring training Mark? It's almost too warm to run now..LOL May 9, 2007 12:56pm
MissKateH
MissKateH Thank you for your support. It's nice to meet a vegan athlete. I'm in the process of becoming vegan, and it's hard at first but already rewarding. Apr 13, 2007 2:56pm

flywheel99 Mark: Love your goals. Can you share with us a 10K training plan? I have one at the end of May. Thanks! Mar 27, 2007 10:09am
