response to Jason from Yobo

Yobo's an idiot.

Jason running 125 mpw while simultaneously humping every girl in the Far East is one of the great feats of man.

Hey Homer, you get that name off a washing machine or what??

-Trent Steel

Many Conference Wins and several records, NCAA finalist and 2nd place Olympic Trials. Then.....retired.

How was that Olympic result? I am sure Letsrun hounds could figure it out with that little tidbit.

Not selected for Oly. team as I didn't make the standard. And answer to the next question, no I'm not from a country such as Taiwan where there are only 3 people in the race.

Sorry to burst your bubble but we really aren't the same person. What, it comes as a great suprise that not everybody wants to drop to their knees to a person that can run 2:18? As for thinking Teddy is an idiot, there are millions of us out there.

Yobo,scrotum,oh boy,and J wack I Bet you are the same person.Im correct no?Youshould really sit down with your Dr. and ask him to adjust your meds.Its people like you who walk around shootin up shopping malls and post offices.Get a grip on yourself.

Actually, it is too bad that I didn't beat you to that last post as I did some Letsrun hounding myself and actually figured it out myself (patting myself proudly on the back). Given your angle, it makes sense (esp. your second post). So you're retired, eh? I am not sure "retirement" as a runner exists, maybe just reasons to run change? In any event best of luck to whatever is next for you.

In general, I would agree with your second post. But, I think Jason gets plenty of flak for his mannerisms, and it isn't going to be just some other poster who is going to influence a change in his approach.. it's going to have to be a friend that does that.

You should still get your meds adjusted because you are a miserable prick.Noone was on their knees,I was just Wishing Mr. Jason congratulations and best of luckin his future endeavors.

Trackhead,

Still remember Yasso800?

10x800m

Recovery time between reps is half of the time you ran the previous 800m rep.

(rep1 + rep2 + rep3 ..... +rep10 ) divided by 10 = your approximate marathon time.

And please take note, 8x800m is different from 10x800m.

You can see the difference in the last 2 800m reps, sometimes it really sucks.

Well like me, you can have your own opinion. I never actually said that I wasn't a prick, I cant argue that point. I am!!!!

I'm sorry -- I don't know what this is in refrence to.

Nothing personal BUT, Who is this FREAKIN' Jason guy anyways? Well, I'm tired of reading shit from him (saying how good he is, qualifying for the Olympic trials and shit), yet this dude can only afford a 2:18. I bet my grandmother can even kick your ass if she were to face you at the Chicago marathon.

If you're man enough, then why can't you be the #1 American Marathon runner. Show us that you can run a sub 2:10, and we'll give you a green light to boast yourself and tell us how a good marathon runner you are!

our counrty needs smart athletes who would always do their job well; be it on track, road or in major championships. A smart athlete lets his/her actions speak for themselves. Look at Dan Browne, he is a quiet, but smart kid. He does great stuff without telling people how good he is as an athlete. So, Jason....shut up and let your marathon legs speak for themselves.This is your Lesson #1.

Peace

teng'era,

I can understand why you would react that way if you are new to this forum, but the history is that Jason has regularly copped a flogging on this board for many things including talking about his training in interesting places, but not having serious results to give him credibility.

He's obviously gone a little troppo with his breakthrough result at Berlin, but bugger it so would I.

The interest and congratulations being offered to him is not because his result is a stunning breakthrough in the wider world of Marathon, but because it is a significant personal improvement.

I think there are lot of people (like me) who quietly enjoy Jasons posts and edgey lifestyle.

Keep posting and running faster Jason!

David

That was exactly I was trying to say!!!

Why not Malaysia? Cameron Highlands should be nice.

Jason have you got yourself a sponsor? Get yourself a PermanentResident here and that's it.

JEH- i believe retirement would be from a competitive aspect. not all of us consider ourselves 'runners' because we run down to the 7/11 on the corner for milk everyday.

Sure, I bet many need to take a step back from the hard-core, concentrated effort, but not compete again?? I doubt it.

How good do you have to be before you say you're "retiring".

Denton, I think you are off the mark with the Nedeau guess. In any event, unless you purposefully missed, you really shouldn't call someone's identity out unless they want it disclosed (ie. they give it or say "go for it"). In this case, even though Yobo gave to many "clues", he has not done that.

..hey if you post then u take the chance of being 'outed'..besides after some thinking i agree it's not Nedeau...i think it's some goofy looking Canadian who is currently living in Korea.........

Sure, I agree that you take that chance, but I don't think I would consider it "good" to do the outing... but whatever..

I don't think he is a "goofy looking Canadian"... I'm trying to think of a good hint, but everything I come up with would totally give it away. If I come up with a good one, I'll post it.
