You can't expect a woman to have accurate memories of the time she was a man.

You mean if I say in this comment that Alex Viada is a liar and hasn't run close to a 4:15 in the mile, you / mods won't delete this comment? I'd shocked. That's just one example, among plenty of others.
Also, can you please reinstate the tree counting thread? For the love of god, that's the only thing I want.

ROFL
Do you think Bruce Jenner's steroid use in the 70's may have shrunk his testicles, and messed up his body chemistry, to the point it was necessary to "become a women" ?

The notion is absurd for a number of reasons; in any case, Jenner believed she was a female trapped in a male body since, she says, she was 5 years old. Probably since the first time the concept of gender really was clear to her.

Seemed reasonable then, seems reasonable now. The 1500 is the ONLY endurance-oriented event in the decathlon. Everything else is strength/speed/power--shot put, long jump, high jump, sprints, high hurdles, etc.Could it have helped if he had, say, run off to do long intervals? Say, 800/1000m type? Rather than jogging an 8 mile run.
No doubt Jenner's running training included a lot of faster running as, in addition to the 1500, the decathlon features the 100, the 400 and the 110 high hurdles (and also the long jump and pole vault, which are dependent on sprint speed). To a normal human, consistent 70 mile weeks with a lot of fast running are more likely to leave one exhausted, injured, sick and generally overtrained than 70 mile weeks of lower intensity--when you add such running to all the OTHER training a decathlete must do.
Not to worry, Wejo. This is why they are called "LetsRun rats".

Really, you have no idea what he is referring to? Almost every day there is a "why did my post about xxxxxx get deleted" thread. Some of those threads of course are obvious troll/intentionally inflammatory threads. However, others are things like "UC Davis Coach xxxx is sleeping with star athlete xxxxx, discus." That was a real thread (paraphrased and names removed) that was deleted. In that particular case, that coach has since quit under pressure and married that athlete. This would be a "lie/truth" that was exposed publicly on LRC first, but you chose to delete the thread and all future threads about that topic. In that case, the coach was violating the rules of the sport (NCAA rules), which in my mind would make it an appropriate topic of discussion.
Not to rag on you, but it does seem pretty clear what they were referring to.
He probably did.After all,he wasnt a bad 1500 metre runner,as decathletes go,and theres no question he was super fit,and trained hard.Some people think bruce was on steroids,but well,who knows? whatever he did,and how ever he trained,he was a supreme athlete.

Reading the Brojos' writing does take a little luster off the whole "Ivy League education" thing.

Caitlyn no doubt has done arguably more for transgender people than anyone else in the world
To add to the nonsense of this thread: I recall reading that Bruce said he lived with his first wife in a townhouse that backed up to a junior college track in San Jose and in his obsessive training for Montreal he would jump the fence in the evening (after working out all day) and go for a 6-mile jog.
And regarding his possible use of "supplements," the then Bruce was surrounded at the Bay Area gyms by power lifters as well as notable field athletes at the track taking PEDs that were then not tested for.
Could that have resulted in his obviously crazy behavior at age 65 or is it the poisoning effect of the Kardashian women on all the men around them?
Sure, everybody loves a freak show.
I wonder when Bruce will develop some animal identity, perhaps a dog or mouse? When it's time to get more attention and win another award? I'm sure he has enough money for the required surgery.
Save me.
Transgender relates to your gender identity and has nothing to do with your sexual preference. Caitlyn's sexual preference is totally separate, just like any person's sexual preferences are not defined by their gender.
In our society of black and white lines, you can see why this is totally confusing to transgender children and adults, and why they have a 40% suicide attempt rate. Living with societal messages that label you as a freak must be incredibly difficult.
Why don't you take a listen to her speech again. There is nothing "odd" or harmful about respecting the differences between us all.
Please provide proof for your 40% claim. Thanks.
Most of you are too young to know that Bruce Jenner had one of the strongest 1500 capabilities of any world/Olympic Decathlete in history. I remember that he regularly ran under 4:20 and I believe approached 4:10.
Regarding training time - he was essentially a pro athlete in the years leading up to the '76 games training 8 to 10 hours per day. So to say he ran 70 miles per week likely includes all manner of training including sprints, hurdles, pole vault, long jump.

No, Bruce knows very well what road milage is and yes he did log miles as a part of training with all the other disciplines. He maybe should said up to 70 miles a week, my guess when he was training full steam ahead it was 50 miles week average, with off season up to 70. He was a runner not a jogger.
I thought I had read a while back that his claim was that he did highish mileage in the fall so that he'd have the endurance for a really good 1500 come track season.
Perhaps he did 70 mpw in sept/Oct and then Did more normal decathlon training up through competitive season.
Your idea of "odd" is laughable. Odd to me is people on a running forum getting all hot and bothered about a sex change.Most transvestites are not gay. They want to be a woman. Totally different from being gay.

Caitlyn is an odd transgender. Wants to be with women as a woman. Isn't getting ride of his tool. Maybe s-he's a lesbian transvestite. Maybe more will be revealed in her upcoming reality TV show,
Maybe so, but do not discount the fact that Jenner went through years of no longer being the center of attention on a reality tv show and then came up with a topper that blew right by all the family's attention-grabbing tactics, while apparently taking no definitive means of physically changing his gender. I would not be surprised at all to see Jenner go back in a few years when the public is bored with this.
