It's still an excuse for sandbagging and running slow
What if there is zero competition and you say nothing after?

Some of you do not understand what is terminology.
Fartlek, tempo run, quarters, intervals, base training, periodization, and even training through are all terminology.
Mary and Thon or not. Nor is saying 60 point.
BTW: a shakeout run is a very specific thing. It's a short jog a few hours before your race. A shake is a jog, but a jog at any other time is just a jog. It's not a shakeout. So you can tell someone to do a short 10-15 minute jog a few hours before their race, or you can say do a shakeout.

I hate cruise intervals and steady state. They make hard workouts sound easy. I've never felt like I'm cruising on an interval workout and steady is not the feeling of burning at the 3rd mile of a 20 minute T pace.
You're doing these workouts too fast/hard. Ease up a bit.

the full
It's a freaking marathon people. You never hear 'full mile' or 'full 10K" so why is this designation needed?
People say ‘full mile’ all the time dude. Where’ve you been?

In this scenario, would it be a wiser choice to put forth a full-race effort (even though there are no competitors beside you) or to finish the race at a sub-maximal effort?
I would think the latter, since you would recover quicker and be able to resume hard workout efforts sooner.
If I'm wrong, please tell me why.
From most American runners in the 80s and 90s: "My strength is my strength".

No , it's not. Pronation is striking on the outside and rolling in. Supination is striking on the inside and rolling out, which is unbelievably rare. Underpronation is exactly what it says it is. A really small pronating motion.
I agree that, technically, that is what the term should mean, but that is not how annoying people use it:

My strength training for the full thon has really been paying dividends. I decided to train through a local 10 k the other day. I had done a quick shake-out early in the day and I was tempoing the race, well more of treating it like a fartlek, when one of these yuppie hobby joggers thought he could upstage me. I decided to unleash my pure hate, cut my rest a tad short, and dropped the hammer for a 60 point quarter to bury that dude. I backed off and settled into 27:30 pace for a couple k’s and was feeling great until my hammy started tightening up (found out later my glutes weren’t completely firing). Ended up jogging it in for third place anyway. I thought maybe I need to work on my speed work so finished off the day with some striders. I think with this effort in mind I’m capable of 2:12-low on a good day, but I consider myself more of a 2:09-high sea level guy so when I come down from altitude training at 7,000 ft I will be ready to PR for sure.
This made me laugh.
"Fartlek" has never sat well with me, for obvious reasons. It's better to pick a word that doesn't have so many connotations.
Also never liked the use of PR. Sounds too official. Always thought PB was more appropriate, because it's not we are keeping an official book of records here.

Except it isn't. No one actually supinates. They underpronate.

Wrong thread, bro. This thread is about termonolgy.
Kelvin is an absolute scale so don't tack on degrees. Should be 10 Kelvin NOT 10 degrees Kelvin. Come on bro.

Runners High
Do you call this something else or do you not get a "high" at all? About 20 minutes fter a hard run I feel almost euphoric but I've heard others say they never get that.
Hahaha! Winner!
"flotrack"
"pedestrian" ...as in a pedestrian pace...all paces are pedestrian

"I could have RAN faster"

5. Saying "60 point" after a repeat. You're a dork.
I dont have a problem with those, but you really have a problem with training through?!?! Its actually a thing, and the guys that use it for excuses arent fast anyway. I train through some meets, I dont make big excuses, but I definitely do train through and I dont set goals for myself lower than they should be because I have an accurate outlook on my season and realize that I wont be fresh for every race like how I'll be fresh at state.

Another vote saying this is the most worthwhile post in the thread.
What is 60 point? the rest? Ne'er heard that one.
And for the dude with uptightness about k,
Per wikipedia: "k (pronounced /keɪ/) is occasionally used in some English-speaking countries as an alternative for the word kilometre in colloquial writing and speech."
I hate PRs vs and/or PB.

Yeah in the old days we just called them douches, and I'm not that old.
Why do you have to create your own little special hipster run group? Just join one of the 1000's of run clubs!
It is a figment of the imagination. Since there aren't many real jobs anymore, people just sit at home and make up stupid shjt so their lives sound interesting.
