The Running Thread

I like that skull logo Oregon Project has though

Yeah, it makes sense. The road to a sub-2 hour marathon is paved with the skulls of 6-year-old factory workers.

Was planning on starting the week with 2 half marathons but I have some fucked up thing going on with my right leg.

[verb_to_trust]

Maybe it's from jumping into 13 milers after little to no mileage for a long time?

[run2death]

Not to be a dick, but that post was total BS, right?

I mean, you can't go from nothing to a manual entry of 13 miles.

Yeah, I wish I had kept each of those half m's to maybe 17km instead. But I am happy I pushed it. I think I only need to tweak my strat a little. I'm gonna go again tonight after doing a short run this morning.

I feel that with a little luck I can push past you this season in distance per week, although I'm not sure I can match your pace. I think you will be the one needing to fabricate your scores.

The same thing crossed my mind but I view the Strava group as a land of peace, so I let it be.

My elite AZ ultra friends don't throw down 13 miles after emerging from summer hibernation.

Maybe dev is just a golden god?

[Dev]

You guys are kind of annoying me.

What would I get out of lying to you?

Do you think that would validate me in any way?

Do you think I am threatened by you in any way?

Let me be perfectly clear since you guys are so interested in this. I want you to have the full truth before you hurt yourselves.

I have been running at a minimum once every few weeks during the winter although those runs were usually only 5km. I have also been skating massive amounts of kms and have been pretty vocal about that. I was skating near 90km a week by the end of the winter. Maybe more. I imagine this has been a huge benefit.

PS. I just got out for my second run today. I have some pretty brutal injuries but I am still getting after it.

PSS I'm wishing you all the best this season.

also 13 miles should be nothing to a true ultra runner. your friends sound soft.

[Dev]

no one even gave me kudos for my second half marathon

you guys are the worst squad

bunch of haters

Who are you calling soft?

You ran like 400 miles in 2018. That's like a month for some of my friends.

[Dev]

I think I am taking this wrong. If I am putting up stats that are true, and you guys cannot believe them, then I should clearly be flattered.

[verb_to_trust]

I'm very consistent with kudos Dev. How dare you.

[verb_to_trust]

For the record the skating thing makes your entry believable to me. I hadn't taken that into consideration.

[Dev]

I'm very consistent with kudos Dev. How dare you.

k, but you skipped a very important run of mine, so I felt a bit peeved.

[run2death]

That's true.

I cross-country skied in Door County for a month and my legs were fucking tanks.

Endurance was good, but my speed was shit. It basically took me 3 months to get my speed back.

Maybe Dev isn't full of shit.

Although, I still say it kinda goes against Strava etiquette to drop something like that after a long period of inactivity.

think I just lost respect for you

maybe I should quit strava then

if people are actually going to question my all stats

[run2death]

I'm fine with you losing respect for me.

That really doesn't affect me in the slightest.

[verb_to_trust]

Dev is a private guy. He doesn't want gps maps. I get it.
