Official Excuse Thread - Why I don't run doubles when virtually every successful distance athlete does.

Not to be an ass, but that's only 40 hours a week of work and school. Even an average high schooler has 45 hours per week of class-time and homework combined. I can't imagine any college student in the sciences spending less than 60 hours a week in class/lab/homework/research at any institution.

You must be f***ing retarded to have to spend that much time to do well in school.

I did doubles for a long time, and I didn't do them for a long time. Whether I did doubles did not make a difference for me. The lack of any effect from doubles, combined with the fact that running in the morning is a royal pain in the ass for me, is why I do not double.

yawn.

Because I'm taking 15 hours of hard science courses and have no fewer than 4 hours of homework a night usually, and work about 20 hours a week, and doubles would exhaust me too much. Running is not as important to me as my school life is at the moment.

If you have the time to post on Let's Run you have the time to train more. This is my answer to everyone who whines about lack of time, get off the computer, shut off the TV, and go run
