Good luck with the new forum.

My question is this: At 6'2 and 192, do I qualify to be on this forum? I think 192 is a bit heavy for a distance runner.

By weight you do not but you can feel free to post because at your height I am sure that you have some of the same issues that larger runners have.

Where do most people classify Clydesdales? I have seen races that had 3 different Clydesdale groups. I think some people classify 192 as a Clydesdale (though, a light one.) I am 6 foot and float between 192 and 202, - the last few years have been 196 to 202. I definitely feel I have more in common (as far as training and injury considerations) with a 260 + pound runner than I do the speedy, little 145 guys!

I am with PSO392, my weekly weights ranges between 193 & 196, I am 5'11. I feel much closer to this group than the others. I did see a race entry form that said for thier race, 192 and up was Clydesdale.

only my .02 worth.

I'd like to welcome everyone aboard to the new forum. I'm a borderline Clydesdale and I think I stand to learn a lot from you. I admit that I will mostly lurk.

I think the most important thing to keep in mind here is to keep your eye on the prize and that being gaining and keeping a fit body. Keep the foot stomping contests to a minimum and I think the best way to handle a troll is to ignore them. It?s kind of like the story of getting in to a fight with a pig, the pig loves it and all you?re going to do is get dirty.

The highest mountain you will ever climb is the threshold. Again welcome.

Happy Trails,
Rob
