Why don't you grow a pair and run outside. Props to the ballsy 16yo. You sound like a big puss.

Hi poster. I've been a clinical psychologist for over 4o years and it seems to me that this youngster is literally feeling your oats.

With that said, I'd call the fitness center's corporate office and issue a complaint that they're hiring unqualified trainers who are unfairly letting their enthusiasm get your gall. So give that a whirl. Complain that he's unqualified as state laws require fitness center employees to be certified. If that kid said something to me I'd give him my card and tell him to make an appointment before his cuckoldism gets out of hand.
Trainers get certified, not attendants like this kid. Also, you sound like a nut not a shrink.

If you do all of your races in warmer weather, why would you want to train in cold weather that is not only harder on the muscles, tendons, and ligaments, but can compromise your bronchial tubes with cold dry air that can trigger asthma attacks. Maybe I should tell all those runners I crush in the spring when it first gets hot that they should "grow a pair" and quit complaining about suffering heat stroke.
Who cares to run on a treadmill? I do all my running outside and only enter the gym for the weight machines.

I did this exact thing.
Nordictrac 2450.
A monster which will never be used. But it is part of th edance. My wife wants it to get fit.
This Kid at the Gym .... wrote:
I do my double runs on the treadmill as it is pitch black and frozen outside. We're still in "new years resolution" phase where EVERY member of the community suddenly starts exercising. They all do it the same - run way too fast for 5-10 minutes, walk 3 minutes, and get off. Out of the 30-odd treadmills I was clearly the only person there who has ran more than 3 days in a row in their lifetime, AND I WAS THE ONLY PERSON NOT OVER WEIGHT.
So I'm 54 into a 60 run, clearly working hard and I don't look like I'm about to stop. The rate of new person circulation on the treadmills around me is very high, every few minutes someone seems to get on or off a treadmill.
So there seems to be 2 older gentlemen waiting in the fitness area for a vacant treadmill. Thats when Super Gym Employee Trainee decides to come over to me...
"Sorry to disturb you, but" - Oh, you're sorry that you are disturbing me? Really? That's like saying "No offense, but you're ugly, no offense though!"
"Sorry to disurb you, but there are people waiting and when the treadmills are full, anyone who has been running over 30 minutes is asked to get off"
Me - really? No one here has signed into a slot so maybe you could ask someone else? I have 10 more minutes then I'd be done. Most people are getting on and off in 5 minutes.
Kid - "Its really not negotiable"
Me - Okay kid, you win. I'll stop running now.
I really love when people say things about overweight people in the gym. It's kind of the point of the gym. It takes them way more balls to go in there and try and better themselves. Also, the kid was just doing his job so let it go...you had 5 minutes left I think you will survive. I'm sure that extra 5 minutes was the key to you getting under 4 in the mile this year....Stop whining

Why don't you pull the weight machines outside in the snow and do your workouts there tough guy?
I take it the kid was bigger than you.

A lot of attendants are trainee personal trainers.

They make great coat hangers.
I hope you're no more than 17. No way a grown man let's a kid tell him it's "not negotiable." Grow a pair.

When I lived in Korea dogs made good soup - especially the little black ones.
MY DOG IS A LITTLE BLACK ONE!!!! YOU DEVIL!!!
joggers can wait. serious runners have an absolute priority on these machines for their 60 minutes.
If you had been swiggin' a 666 Energy Drink while you had that puppy cranked up to sub-5 minute miles, pounding the snot out of that belt, he would have left you alone.

I think it's pretty clear that the OP was a hobby-jogger.
