Well this post make no sense. If you are questioning the TDF list please see the list at http://www.letour.fr/2006/TDF/LIVE/us/-10100/index.html. As for the rest of the post, you lost me.ric_stern/RST said:
Well I just checked the link provided by the appropriately named "Yoyo" and it links to the pre-race interview page.
No top 10 results to be seen anywhere on that page.
[Edit] I've found the Top 10 results he is referring to....they are the results for STAGE 17.

Of course you can "damage" a muscle but not normally through training hard (And correctly) and certainly not permanentally as you are implying.yoyo583 said:
I'm a little confused here; first you say one shouldn't continuously train outside of zone 1-3, then you tell me to go ahead. So which is it? I know we are all different, but how do you decide?
Then you mention chest pain. Did the 2 people you are talking about experience chest pain at times. To me it is obvious chest pains are a sign of something possibly amiss and should be investigated.
And with regard to lightheadiness, are you talking about during training or after a heavy workout sitting on the sofa when you get home. I might be wrong here and I hope someone will correct me if I am, but I think it is fairly common to experience lightheadiness if one gets up from the sofa too quickly after a hard workout.
And finally you quote your mother as being able to do 14 miles in the mountains. What is the significance of that statement? In June this year at the age of 63 I completed a 100 miles ride/race on a tough mountainous course. Last Saturday RapDaddyo completed a 17 mile climb up Mt. Charleston in Nevada leaving many youngsters in his wake. There are others, some in their 70s doing the same sort of thing all over the world. Believe me it's no big deal these days. I'm not trying to be argumentative, just trying to see exactly where you're coming from.

The formula I used was to go all out as hard as you can until I fell over. Thank god the medics brought me back to life, I looked then at my HR data and now I know my Max HR limit
, I try to stay away from that now. Actually my doctor/surgeon(a cyclist/marathon runner) had me do a stress test on a tread mill and my max was 214, so I guess Im only about 6-8 years old
My wife tells me sometimes I act like a child He never told me about damaging my heart, he must not know what he's doing in the operating room, but I thanked him when he brought me back to life, then I said, hey doc, what was my max HR. 
I like this formula here a bit better : MaxHR = 209 - (.587 * age)yoyo583 said:
Tough he result is a bit higher than the traditional 220-age, some (if not many) will still find that it underestimates their MaxHR
Have you tried weight control using "Ab Roller"? It only takes 5min per dayDoctor Morbius said:

Tyson, cool it, your scaring me
, didnt realize exercise was a hazzard to your health, I dont want to be exercising and fall over, maybe just be a couch potato & dropping dead is better. So now what can I do to improve my life? Exercise will kill ya, being sedatary will kill ya heck Im going to vegas to see RD & gamble. 
What sarcasm? You didn't see the NASM Cert. Personal Trainer link I posted? You're their target audience.Doctor Morbius said:

LOL Didn't mean to scare you Jeff. I should have pointed out that the aforementioned were just 3 among thousands of runners etc. I've come across.jeff828 said:Tyson, cool it, your scaring me
If you're still worried, remember, everything in moderation unless you have my superior genes or you want to die doing something you really enjoy.
Actually, I forgot to tell you about another friend I used to run with (this is true), he took up cycling and one day he climbed a moderate hill as he had done many many times before. When he got to the traffic lights at the top he stopped, collapsed and went to join the great runners/cyclists in the sky. He was just 40! If that doesn't scare you - nothing will.
The problem with most of these stories is that in most cases we don't know the health background of these guys. Yes, fit they were, at least on the surface but did they have any signs before and just kept quiet thinking it was nothing? Were they actually born with some defect which manifested itself much later in life. And had their participation in sport kept them going longer than they would have kept going had they led a sedentary lifestyle?
Well, that should empty the forums a bit. It was getting too crowded in here anyway!
Oh, I forgot to mention - non of the above unfortunate characters trained above Zone 3. That much I do know. TYSON
Dang! I was just thanking my lucky stars that I'd given up running for cycling.Sillyoldtwit said:Actually, I forgot to tell you about another friend I used to run with (this is true), he took up cycling and one day he climbed a moderate hill as he had done many many times before.

So, I guess the only common factor we have to go on is that they all trained with Tyson. Count him as a risk factor.
