I usually wear my tank top, g-string, and set my tripod up behind the mill to film my form for the interwebs when I'm training for the long thong distance thon, because everyone wants to watch half naked butts during gym workouts on the mill. Report me, biatch, I fart in your general direction.
When I'm running on the street or on trails I spit a lot. If I had to run on a treadmill I'd need a bucket next to it for my spitting.
do that already and shoot my hooter off the side thats why theres' a gap between the treadmils, gotta get rid of the gunk, hooey i aint written this much sense high school take care yall
This thread makes me think of an issue I had just two weeks ago. I started going to the gym around 7am on Sunday and Saturday to first lift and then do about 60 minutes on the treadmill. The rest of the time I run outside.
Anyways, this old guy comes up to me during my treadmill run and tells me that the treadmill that I was on was the one he likes to use at 7am. In fact, the two treadmills next to the one I was running on are the ones his FRIENDS like to use.
So, all three old people need to be IN A ROW for their 7am WALKS on the treadmill. In a not so subtle way, he told me I should not run on his treadmill at that time in future.
A couple things.
1. Their are no reservations for treadmills. It's first come, first serve. 2. Gym is not social hour for you and your walker friends. 3. There were three treadmills IN A ROW directly in front of us that they could use, but no, they wanted the one I was using.
The entitlement of some people is off the charts. I plan on going at 7am this weekend and telling him to "f--- off" if he tells me to move. Or go to management and complain (and likely get shut down and laughed at).
My gym treadmill maxs out at 10 mph or 6:00 so it's not that fast. When I run at 10 I usually wear.my Nike Frees because they are quiet and people don't notice how fast I'm running. When done I make sure to wipe up sweat. No one notices or cares and I don't care if the person next to me is shuffling or walking. As long as you aren't super loud, no one cares what you do. Same goes for lifting weights.il I don't mind the big dudes lifting heavy. Just don't grunt loudly or drop the weights.
Another pet peeve. I was at the gym a few days ago. There are like 20 treadmills available and I was the only person using one of the 20. Guy steps into the room and decides to hop on the one right next to me for his weekday huff and puff run. I'm thinking there are 19 other treadmills you can choose from - why hop on the one right next to me.
A few years ago, I was regularly hitting the TM at my gym due to icy roads. I usually did just maintenance runs before work, nothing too impressive. The same older guy would get on the TM next to me regardless of how many open spots there were. I noticed he would peek over and always go just a scooch faster than I was (and then hold onto the front bar at the same time!) - I didn't say anything because what do I care what he does, but I did notice it. One day I was doing an actual workout - not fast by LR standards, but a tempo run quite a bit faster than I had been doing the prior mornings. Dude shows up, does a little bit of a double take and then sets his speed just a little faster. Holding onto that bar for dear life, his hands got sweaty after just a few minutes and he wipes out and gets shot off the back of the TM. That was bad enough - but in his embarrassment, he did the predictable mistake of trying to get back on the moving belt from behind and pass it off like no one saw. His legs immediately shot backwards and he faceplanted into the belt, breaking his nose and glasses. What a great way to start your day at 6am! And the guy was a real bleeder as well...
When I run really hard I sometimes lose control of my plumbing. But the people at my gym are not so uptight and just laugh when I $hit myself after a super duper hard treadmill run.

Love it. This guy is a real competitor. The world needs more of these guys.

He's probably posting on LetsOld.com about this weird healthy young guy who insists on using a treadmill rather than running outside.

Did you miss the part where I lift on weekends, then hit the treadmill after the weights since they are roughly 20 ft apart? Or do you not know how to read?
