Running the 800 on pure hate

I am a junior in highschool. My previous pr in the 8 was 2:06, at the end of the season. Well it's been a year, and of course I'm planning on training hard as hell. Yet, during the race, my strategy is focusing on pure hatred for those around me. My question is, what is the best way to channel this hate effectively?

How did it work?

The key is to go out for the first 100 meters at the maximum level of hate that you can sustain for the entire race. That way you will be able to hold that same level of hate, and won't hit the Wall of Hate.

That's your answer.

I've 10 miles on pure hate before, best tempo runs I have had was on pure hate. I get in a argument that piss me off and I run on such anger that it flys by, 12 miles is the limit to pure hate running as I have ran up to 12 miles on pure hate on occasion.

remember kids, winter is the time to build up hate for the outdoor season

Alex Hutchinson and pure hate brought me here

One of the most legendary threads on letsrun and if not the best for any 800m runner to read. YOU CANT LOVE THE 800 YOU MUST HATE IT! HATE THE COMPETITION AND HATE THE CROWD

Wonder what ever happened to Pure Hate Pupil and his obnoxious animated gif?

What if you're not elite and there is no crowd? No crowd, no pure hate.

Years ago I invented, right here on these boards, the 800 meters electroshock motivator. The runner's coach can press a button to remotely start zapping the runner at the right time, 200 to 80 meters out, like when the jockeys whip the horses.

I thought it up as a joke, but it might actually work. It would weigh only a few grams and provide a severe jolt of hate at exactly the right time.

i just stumbled upon this thread years later and it is the greatest thing ever

I know some elite half milers who could be channelling some blood-vessel-bursting hate out on the Diamond League circuit later this summer.

The thread did not age well.
Never heard anyone in real life talk about Pure Hate. EXCEPT FOR RACISTS!! You guys posting here are 1) living in rents basement 2) can’t break 20 for the 5K 3) angry in life and probably incelibate

So it makes sense you got hate, what is there for you to love? Not much !!

You have no sense of humor. I guess the jail time has made you even more bitter and angry.

My name is TMADDDHASFNE. You guys have no humor. I read the Bible. You guys have no humor. I run a 20 minute 5K. you guys have no humor. I play video games all day. You guys have no humor. I sew dresses and thongs. You guys have no humor. Well fine!!! I have 5000 posts and I’m going to be Bravey and make those into my Dear Diary Book!!!

Running on "Pure Hate" should only be attempted by those who possess a willpower of courage, a focus on discipline, and striving for thoughtfully sagacious excellence.

Those lacking in humor are doomed to fail. This serious character defect prevents them from having proper balance in running and in life.

We feel sad that you have hate at all because you’re telling us you were abused or harmed. You mad bro. That is sad. Bro what is even more sad is that you run with so much emotion but still can’t break 20 minutes for 5K. Sadder than that is you are a video game warrior. This is all lame bro. Lame. Losers. Dull. Bro.
