My teammates give me $hit for not taking sundays off.

Is that because you feel the need to let everybody know you don't take Sundays off?

Just remind them the wage gap is 78 cents on the dollar.

This same thing happens to me but not just from the girls on the team. Mainly the guys on the team and I’m the fastest guy and the one kid that is almost as fast as me constantly tell me that it’s not good for me meanwhile this kid was 27 seconds faster than me 2 years ago in the mile and now I’m 5 seconds faster than him in the mile and he tells me it isn’t good meanwhile I have progressed a lot and he hasn’t progressed more than a second since 2 years ago.

I used to keep it rather secret. They asked me one day if I remember correctly. I don’t “feel the need to let everybody know.”

And no I don’t brag about it at all. I try to keep it to myself now because my coaches don’t approve of it either.

Thankfully mostof the guys on the team either don’t care or occasionally run on sundays and they are almost as good as me

Right. The girls team just decided to ask some guy on the boys team if he takes Sundays off.

First of all, don’t say “boys team” and “girls team” because we are all teammates. Secondly, it was most likely brought up in a conversation. I didn’t go up to them and blurt out that I run on sundays

I always take Sundays off in the morning. I do doubles the rest of the week.

Nobody gives me shlt. They're too afraid.

Have you considered swimming instead of running one day per week? There is a loss in specificity in training, but there is a lower risk of injury, plus there are musculoskeletal and other benefits.

I am 99% sure this is 2 trolls pretending to be misguided high schoolers riffing off one another.

I live in a VERY small town of about 1200 people. Everyone (including the coaches) see me running and I get called out on it constantly. They act like I'm crazy for running all summer and over the winter break. I have to keep running, not everyone can run fast by just working out for 16 weeks a year.

You don't need to train 7 days a week, every single day of the year. It is good to take a day off every now and then to recover. Listen to your body. You can do other means of exercises and let your legs recover every now and then.

Why would they give you $hit if it's so obvious you're the "Best runner on the team"?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's not so obvious. Either that, or you're unable to actually understand human interaction, and they aren't giving you $hit at all.

The 2 best coaches, Lydiard and Daniels, say yes to Sunday runs while the girls say no.

Who are you going to listen to.

The only objection I have to Lydiard is that he is in favor of a long Sunday run while I have better success with

an easy 45 minute run to recover from Saturday's race/workout. But to take the day off, no, why would i do that?

Wow I didn’t know any states had gone coed yet. You must be the best runner on the team if you compete against girls.

100mpw and doubles 7/7 seems the only viable option for LRC Lydiard-tards but it's not the case.

You can be successfull on many other training regimes especially if you're not a marathoner.

If you're so afraid on skipping one day you don't trust your training at all.

1. Don't take $hit from anyone, especially girls.

2. Train the way you think is best.
