Paul Ryan says he misstated marathon claim

Mott the Hoople said:
True dat. I ran a half marathon in 1996 in 1:36. That's close to 7:30/mile. I also ran a sub 20 5k that fall (about 6:20/mi) and won my age group (30 - 35). The following summer I rode a 100 mile by myself in a few minutes under 5 hours (20 mph). That was way harder than the half marathon. I also competed in a duathlon that year (5k run, 30k bike, 5k run) with the goal of breaking 1hr 30 min. I did it in 1:30:40. I pushed my self so hard I broke the 5th metatarsal bone in both feet early on in the second run but kept going. I pretty much gave up running after that.

nice half marathon...
 
My fastest 2 mile run was when I was in the military I did 8:36.

Man, I wish I had stayed in shape.

Since When Did Paul Ryan Become a Liar?

a_560x375.jpg


~snip~

The thing about Ryan is that he has always resided in a counter-factual universe. He is a product of the hermetically sealed right-wing subculture. Many of the facts taken for granted by mainstream economists have never penetrated his brain. Ryan burst onto the national scene with a dense, fact-laden attack on the financing of Obama’s health-care bill that was essentially a series of hallucinations, pseudo-facts cooked up and recirculated by conservative apparatchiks who didn’t know what they were talking about or didn’t care. His big-think speeches reflect the influence of fact-free conservatives and collapse under scrutiny.

Like Obama said about the NDAA? Or the Drug War? About closing Gitmo?

Of course those are just campaign issues. Marathons are what matter. After all, who can afford gas with +8% unemployment (that Obama promised wouldn't happen).

Well you have to run every day. At lest 5 to 10 k. Use a heart rate monitor for the first couple of months and don't go above your aerobic range (65% to 85% of your max heart rate). Do that for a couple of months starting out at 5K every other day for the first two weeks, then 5 k a day every day for two more weeks, then gradually increase your volume until your running 45 K on the 8th week (5 x 5k and 2 x 10 K). Then start integrating speed work into your schedule. On the third month still run 45 K/week but do 4 X 5k and 2 x 10 K in your aeroblic range and then do 1 5K at race pace (aka anaerobic threshold, 85% to 95% of your max heart rate). At the same time your doing this, keep track of your caloric intake. Try to keep at or below 2,000 calories a day. If you follow this program you'll see a significant improvement in your per mile rate in a 5 K. The important part is to be disciplined the first two months. Run every day per the schedule and do not exceed the upper or lower limit of your aerobic range. The purpose here is to develop your aerobic metabolic pathways so that you use oxygen more eficiently, imrpove over all fitness, develop sound biomechanics and develop both capilary beds and neuromusculer patheways in you skeletal muscles and lose excess, nonfunctional, body weight.

After the third month maintain the schedule of week 8 but drop one of your 5K aerobic runs as a rest day. Preferably the day after you do your race pace 5k.

The above is pure nonsense. Don't listen to mutt.

If you want to run sub 8, do the following:

1) Find friend with pitbull
2) Tie raw steak to your ass
3) Have friend release pitbull

Guaranteed success...

You'd have a point if marathons were the only thing Romney/Ryan lied about.

That number still ignores the 5.5 million who simply gave up. The saving grace of his unemployment numbers is the fact that we stop counting them once they are so discouraged they give up looking for a job.

In order to stay even and keep our unemployment just at 8.3 (if we were counting those people who really do want jobs but gave up) we'd have to have created 11 Million jobs that's just to stay even and have some jobs for those graduating college and entering the workforce; instead we got a meager 4.5 million which is a net negative. Of the actual workforce we count (those who haven't given up yet), we still have a couple hundred thousand less working than we did when Obama took office.

According to Obama projections we're supposed to be at around 6 right now. If the CEO of any corporation failed this miserably they'd be fired, admittedly with a golden parachute but fired they'd be.

This from the people who actually believe that Obama was in Hawai'i at the airport watching his daddy go to Harvard when actual school records show that he and his mom spent all that time in Seattle.

It's the thing you seem to find important right now, it's a lefty version of somebody vetting "Dreams From My Father" which is made up of "composites" and pretty much fictional. I couldn't care less about either story.

What I care about is the faltering and failing policy of this President. That affects my life.
