how bout when we call our shoes by names like:
the "kennedys"
the "milers"
I've always found that what people can never understand is when I describe track workouts to my teammates, such as:
"Man, my calves are so tight...yesterday we did 2 sets of 6-6-4-2 at 62 pace with equal jog recovery. Oh yeah, we were in flats. After a little break run we then did 5 cutdown 300's. What a bitch."
I love the look of confusion on people's faces.
'fat'
This means something completely different to runners than it does to the rest of society
saying that"...it looks like someone handed him a piano"
saying that you..."cranked"...and you are not talking about drugs.
saying that you "smoked" someone and you are not talking about drugs or sex.
saying that you "flew" and did not go anywhere.
DLS - Dead Leg Shuffle
Junk or Garbage Miles
Spiked - As in "why is your shin bleeding?"
Smelling the barn - picking it up at the end of a run
Gun lap
Rig (rigomortus) - as in he really rigged in the last 100.

Blow beets, blow chunks, toss cookies, hurl, ralf, spew,

hitting the wall
Yasso 800s

ron hills (a baggy sort of running tights) also know as tracksters
what about.. a "Radcliffe?"
used when you can't/don't want to finish something
e.g.
when your woman wants to quit midway through:
"dont pull an f#(@ing radcliffe on me!"
What about getting "spiked"? Can't imagine that happens in climbing, etc.
..or he's a "sub four" guy
"marathon"

ITB Syndrome - sure it's a medical term, but where is it heard besides every other running blog?
Compartment Syndrome - ditto
Plantar Fasciitis - dditto
CS and PF heard ALL THE TIME in non-runners.
How about "bandit" (both noun and verb)?
Although it's not really vocabulary, but a matter of usage, I'd also propose "off of" when referring to a particular training program or mileage level - e.g., "can you believe she ran a 3:00 marathon off of 50 mpw?"
Finally, there's the use of "jogger" as a derogatory term.
i was so dead after hammering the first 8 i did the skeleton dance the last 3.
i don't think i've ever heard anyone in another sport call dying the "skeleton dance". i think they used the term in 'sub four'.
She "opened her legs up and took them all on".. and she duly finished ahead of the exhausted group.
Any 2006 coinage we should be aware of??
