The Escapist and Exercise

[Johnny Impact]

My work is a stand-up job, which helps a lot. It's not strenuous but eleven hours of very low-intensity is still eleven hours walking around, doing things.

I run a couple times a week. I have a weight bar that I mess with occasionally.

It's hard for me to have an exercise schedule as my work fits in around everyone else's lives. I just say, "I'll do something the next day I work less than ten hours."

I think I vest like the one I currently use would be perfect for what you described. You have used weight vests before. How many lbs was it? If it has been a long time since you used one, I would start with a 20 lb vest and work your way up.

I don't classify what I do as exercise, but I'm a runner by trade. I've been running for nearly 20 years, and I'm constantly training to hopefully be able to run a marathon in 3 hours. It's no easy task for regular people, but I have a little talent. It's been about constantly pushing my full capacity with speed work and putting in higher mileage (60+/week).

Living in Southwest Florida makes that a real challenge with the really hot weather here.

I'll say that it is pretty funny to see the exercisers' faces when they see me busting out some 7 minute miles.

I'm also working on that sub 20 minute 5k. That is tough to do despite my talent for this sport.

People always ask me all the time if I'm just doing this for fitness, and I always say NO.

I'm about pushing myself to see just how fast and how far I can push myself.

My ultimate goal is to become an ultra runner who can run 50-100 miles. Running marathons is just a stepping stone for me. Marathons are all about speed for me. I find it quite exhilarating to run fast miles.
