Save it for the wife. Avoid the drama, new relationships work better without it and if you two don’t work it’ll be easier to leave

15:54 isn’t worth swearing off women. You gotta be in the sub 13:30 club for that ;)
You should worry about the 6th Commandment (Catholic version)

I am also scared to have sex because i feel like it will waste energy for some of my long runs and workouts. Does anyone else have the same concern/thoughts? Is this normal?
as long as you stick with the "My 5k time is 15:54 and dropping and I run 67 miles a week" opening line, I'm confident you'll safely avoid having sex with anyone
Eat pu$sy it makes you run faster
67 miles in a week is a good amount. Kudos to you -- seriously -- but you can run that during normal practice hours. It certainly doesn't take up so much time that you don't have time to socialize.
If you are ever doing school and running 120 miles a week to qualify for the Olympic Trials, then I would say forget about the girls. Until then, lean on your growing confidence to help you meet people. Having another priority in your life might even enhance your focus and commitment to running.
Sex is like shaving, once you do it you have to do it more and more often. Don't fall into the trap, it's called addiction in the medical world. Save yourself and avoid women.

Not fast enough wrote:
A guy who only has a 15:54 5k has no business being concerned that something will make them slower. You're not running fast enough for it to be worth not doing something, unless it's something very small. And finding a significant other, potentially for the rest of your life, is not some small thing. Sure, you don't have to have sex. I would actually recommend not having sex with someone until you've dated for quite a while. You can get anxiety that you'll get them pregnant and they're not someone you actually want to have a child with, and that can screw up the rest of your life. But worrying about wasted energy??? That shouldn't be your concern. So no, it's not normal.
This^. I am coaching two female athletes that are running faster than you are. Put your pride in your pocket and find balance in your life.
I actually have 2 pairs of shoes that are better coaches than you. But you're correct he should find balance in his life.
Miles matter when it comes to dating. You can be the world record holder for 5k, this will not help you getting girls. Instead tell a girl that you did an obscure 100 miles race and you'll be a hero.
lol, sounds like op is pranking a teammate
Women weaken legs

It's completely irrational. What do you think a species primary function is? It's to reproduce. Dating can bring far more joy and excitement to your life than running ever can. Don't let running get in the way of your happiness. Running should simply supplement that. The vast majority of great runners dated, got married, and had kids while training super seriously. You will be fine.
I hope the OP is a troll but if this is legit I’m with the small contingent of posters who say you aren’t fast enough to turn down girls because of running.
Huge mistake.

Just show girls this and you won't have anything to worry about.
Damn, I had teammates who consistently ran 90 seconds faster then this guy, had double the amount of training, and loads of college work yet still had no trouble sleeping with girls. What a clown.

It's true that the male orgasm takes some of your energy, more appropriately referred to as life force, in order to produce progeny. This is unavoidable. However, the way to solve this, as documented by numerous pacific island cultures, is to be on the receiving end of the male orgasm. The most masculine, virile of men are those that consume the most. You're welcome.
Didn't stop Pre and he set an American record at 5k. Realistically, if you're 18 or 19 and barely breaking 16 at a D3 school, you have no serious future in the sport. Run for fun and exercise, maybe win your hometown's turkey trot, but definitely don't skip dating. Avoid sex or a wank right before a big race, but otherwise give those ladies the business.
just do it
