haha dude this is the last place you want to post your PR's unless you have a WR or beat a bunch of Africans at an International meet then people are just going to put you down. I am pretty sure most of the people on here don't have your PR's, including me. Keep up the good work.
I'll second that. Nothing would impress people on these boards. Haile could run another world marathon record and people would rip on him just because he didn't actually "race" anyone. I'll say your a badass just for having the nerve to post times. Good luck and keep it up.
Yes. Those 2 times are faster than anyone at my school this year. and btw, my school is East Carolina out of C-USA
That is a very solid cross time. I'd say about half of the D1 programs don't have a single guy who can run that fast. So by that metric I think its safe to say that you are a bad ass.
Break 14:30 and you will be even more of a bad ass.

Yeah, his times beat my PR's, also. I don't mind admitting that. But he has asked a question and my honest assessment is that "badass" is title of respect that you earn in competition with your peers. There are hundreds of college runners out there right now who can beat these times - I'm assuming this is a college guy. If he ran these times at the intramural meet then he needs to go look for tougher competition.
It really depends on whether you ran those times "with style"
Unless you can do all that plus a flying armbar on a resisting opponent then no.

My 1500 PR is 3:54, and at no time did I consider myself a badass. Hell, I barely scored in our conference meet.
So, if I'm not a badass, you're certainly not a badass.

Well sometimes you can be your worst critic. :O I was third in the 1500 and was not able to out kick the other two runners who had much better 800 speed. The 8k I took over after the mile and brought it home. I was running mile repeats averaging 4:47 closing my last mile in 4:33 (3:30 rest). Example, during my cross country training I ran 16x400's averaging 66 closing with a 61. Still feel like a badass :)
My pr's are 3:49, 14:02 and 24:14 and I was 3rd on my division II team. It is hard to believe that the 3rd place guy on a DII team could be considered badass. You know since it is for babies and all.
