Why does it make so angry when newer Letsrun posters don't know the old Letrun memes?

He’s BaCK baby GOBBLeGOBBLE with Co@ch SaLADBar

a lot of those memes died because they were dumb. Especially:

chicked-by-kenyan poster
real-man-thing poster
paulo-find-me-kona poster
quaker-steak-lube-crap poster

sometime around 2005 a few of you must have got a big kick out of posting the same stupid thing every chance you got. But that was the only funny part, you posting it over and over ad nauseum. Not unlike zoomers saying "6-7" all the time now.

On the bright side, ChatGPT will never frustrate you:

Title: Why I’ll never just run easy again — the banana-fuel & elf-stride revelation

Alright, morans of LR, gather ’round and strap in:

I finally cracked the code that the elite clique has been hiding under their spikes (and yes, I saw your Salazar Special Sauce bottles).

First: I went full banana mode. That’s right — 25 bananas a day minimum. Because if you’re not doing 20-30 bananas, what are you even training? Lack of bananas = hobby jogger status. LetsRun.com

So I upped my intake, and guess what? My 5K didn’t drop to 13:00 either, but I felt banana certified.

Second: I adopted the elf-stride. You know who you are, Rupp watchers — elf legs, big grin, fairy dust at the finish. I tried to mimic the “epitome of a real man” gait. LetsRun.com Still waiting for the aura of invincibility to kick in, but the jokes on them — I looked ridiculously efficient.

Third: I went full “wear spikes on treadmill” mode. Because if you’re not wearing spikes inside at 6 mph then why run at all? Bonus: I convinced my coach I was “going home devastated” when I missed 2:45 pace for a track mile. Classic move. LetsRun.com+1

Fourth: I embraced the elitism. When someone says “I ran a 17:00 5K” I mentally tag them with “hobby jogger” and move on — because that’s how we do it in the big leagues, right? Big banana energy only. LetsRun.com

So what’s the takeaway?

If you’re still doing double-digit banana counts, flat strides and wearing flats on treadmills, you’re missing the secret sauce of the forum elite. Stop being a hobby-jogger, step up your game, and remember: if you didn’t look relaxed on your last workout, did you even train?

See you on page 7593 with the next thread, where I’ll share how to “go home devastated” and still PR.

(Pretty good IMO, but nobody here calls it "Letsrun.com"; also, a previous iteration told me the post was *guaranteed* to generate 7 pages of replies.)

For reasons known only to the mods, my previous post was removed. Some other good memes from the archives:

The bad thread pointer (I quoted his stock post which is maybe why it got deleted. Why is a mod clearly so ignorant of letsrun lore making these decisions?)
