Ever since he was voted out of Congress, Ryun has toyed with the idea of returning to the track. He has finally decided to reunite with Coach Timmons to try to be the first man past the age of 60 to run sub-4:50 for the mile.
To compensate for the fact that Ryun does not respond as quickly to hard training as he used to, Timmons will be increasing the frequency of the hard training. Ryun will be doing 15 miles of high-steady-state running every morning and interval workouts every other afternoon.
