How often do you have dreams where you are running?

For the first 49 years and 100k miles, while racing all over the world……hardly ever.

In the 50th year when my body gave out, this time for good…. All the time.

Coach Dahl, that’s cool and all but you know I out kicked you at the finish of the LV half. And ran it as a progression run. I also ran 1:50.11 at the Texas state outdoor spring opener and was jogging. Thx

Recurring dreams my whole adult life.

1. In the porta-potty when the gun goes off....

2. Pole vaulting.

3. Some kind of Martian apocolyptic invasion at night. Buildings on fire...people randomly but quietly moving away from danger, but I keep moving closer for some reason then I always wake up at the same time of the dream like groundhog day. Remember every detail and no apprent trigger that wakes me up. I never get to see them. I hate War of the Worlds. They get to us first, we're cooked. Maybe I just sneeze on them.

Everyone has that dream. It means you aren't fully mature, you have some sort of personality flaw that you didn't outgrow in your youth.

I figured that out long ago and managed to stop having that dream anymore.

One thing isn't the same as the other.

Do you fabricate race results? Do you fabricate non-existent coaching credentials? Isn't fake coaching creds the sports equivalent of stolen valor?

I've never heard that whopper before? It sounds like Bullsheetish Zonish to me? Could you provide an actual citation? For a friend.

The only thing I've ever heard about was that Bayi ran a 4:08 mile the day before the race, which many thought was incredible, until you realize that a 4:08 mile is nothing for a 3:32 1500m man.

Please stop this. You have been banned for posting teen pornography links. In this thread you posted Elizabeth Ieachmen is a promiscuous little TRAMP. Deleted. Enough.

Now you're down to 1:50.12 800m? 1:15 HM? Neither happened. You can't even run a 60s 400m.

You are not a coach at Trinity University or any other university. You have never coached anywhere.

.

I don't get why he needs to cut 4 minutes off his half - to post a time that is neither elite nor would have won the race. Why not claim to have run a 1:05 half.

Also, why does he feel the need to keep up this fake coaching schtick. It was funny for maybe a few threads years ago when he pretended to be a coach at an ambiguous university. Now he is claiming he is in the position of a real person at a reputable university, its loony, like deranged.

What does he get out of this? Is this a form of role playing - even though no one else is playing along with him? I think he needs to go get help.

My running dreams are nerve wracking. Seems I’m always either late to the race, the gun goes off and I’m trying to get to the start line as everyone already took off. Or I lose my way on the course and don’t know where to go. Then I wake up grateful this wasn’t real 🤣

So it's a personality flaw to have that dream? Typical LRC. I still have that dream at least once a year, waking up wondering how I'm going to make up the classwork next year. Despite always having most of my credits done ahead of time every year.

I waited to the last minute for almost all assignments lol. For term papers, I think I pulled all nighters more times than I didn't.

I actually have been late to the start of races before - once I missed the start and ran for the line after using the bathroom - I hit the start line 10 seconds into an xc race. Another time I missed the start of a 5000 at a track meet I was running unattached and the meet director/head coach at the u let me run another event.

Once I couldn't find the site of a race. This was back before google maps - I plugged in the address into a dedicated gps unit, but it wasn't taking me there. I gave up eventually and went to a local park to do a tempo.

Another time, I barely made the race. I went to the wrong side of a state park to start and then had gi issues when I got to the right place to park. I had a 2 minute warmup, then somehow ran the race of my life.

All 4 of these happened when I was in grad school, like age 24-25. Maybe thats why I don't have the missing the start dream. It happened that bad happened.

That's funny, dude. When I have my back-to-school dreams, my old age creeps in and makes me feel out of place.

Well, considering that I had undiagnosed ASD, I think I did OK coming out of college with an AB in Comparative Literature and a BS in Mathematics. But you are probably correct in that I do have some unresolved issues. God bless, be well, and peace be with your spirit.

I have slow running dreams... like I'm on the last lap of a race I'm going to PR in, except I have to run through a mall or a school... no problem... except now i have to go upstairs or was it downstairs... now I have to check in with a certain person that I can't find and no one will tell me where they were... what am I even doing?

I still have the occasional dream where I'm in school and there's an exam or test that's due and I have no idea when because I never paid attention to the syllabus. Or if I'm in the exam and have not studied at all.

Get them occasionally but I finished college over 20 years ago.

Also get a work dream where they want me to work at one more places I previously worked at - for more money but I'm also still working my current job. Somehow I am attempting to do both jobs at the same time - like maybe they won't notice if I work evenings or weekends at the other.

I don't know about the self-hypnosis bit, that is why I said it is rumored. Nevertheless, here is an interesting article about that historic event:

Unless you lost a coaching job or other position to the object of vilification, I don't see where you are accomplishing anything.

My college career was a disappointment, as I didn’t fit into the coach’s one-size-fits-all training. I have dreams of showing up for XC camp in fine shape and expecting to have a great season, regardless of coaching—as if this year would be different.
