Favorite poster of all time: 3rd Person Panache
Favorite thread of all time: The ETG thread about Marshall Burt, his website and his training theories that the LRC detectives dissected for some real gold.
Sadly, neither of these are in existence anymore (you can find Marshall Burt's website of course, but not the original thread).
Can someone explain the context of 'See you in Kona, Paolo knows how to find me.' to me? Or a link if it's still up?
I know most of these but I guess I skipped that one.
My favorite would have to be the430miler's mentality > physicality. Or gobble gobble mfer.
The whole Kip Litton thing is endlessly fascinating for teh mania the guy inspires.
The other truly interesting psychological phenomenon on LR is that when something big happens, like Manzano or Rupp getting medals, or Rudisha's world record, there will be at least 15 threads started 'announcing' the news, even though there is already a race thread going. Very interesting human need to be the shouting center of attention, even anonymously.
EL G runs his race anaerobically, he is a sprinter

Umm... ever heard of jordan hasay / evan jager?
Keep it on the Crete

It's been fun, but there is just too much negative energy here and too many new a**holes who post bullshit and lots of great people who used to post all the time who have left or gone underground. I'm out. Life is too short. I'll be in kona. Hope to see some of you there. Paulo knows how to find me.
SUP BRO
comparing apples to oranges
Gobble Gobble!
This probably goes back like 12 years but what about the crazy chick who called herself "Jason Lover". I can't remember Jason's last name but he was some wanna be elite who supposedly traveled all over the world doing road races.
Ryan Shay 13:55 in trainers.
Hands down. If you don't know what I'm talking about you are too much of a noob to be commenting on this thread.
wait, was that rexing, i just put 2 and 2 together. bring on the love people let me feel it.
Who's more blue collar?
"I'm too juiced to lose"
"Galen Rupp Has NO CHANCE at Lagat's 2 Mile AR, I will never post here again if Rupp runs faster than 8:15 this weekend"
"I am clearly correct as usual. However, Galen Rupp is one helluva runner. Of course he'll never medal. So what? Let's appreciate him for what he is.
I believe Galen Rupp is capable of running the U.S. record for the marathon. There...I said it. However, he will NEVER medal in WC or Olympic track and field"

Jesse always made some entertaining predictions.

That was Alan Webb.
Beat me to it.

- Who is the Oldsub4 guy?
- This girl looked at me on a run. Should I ask her out?
Nike Free Me talking about running 140 miles a week in his Nike Frees and dropping a ton of time. People accused him of lying, but it was almost exactly the kind of results Cam Levins got (just 5 years earlier).
I'd have to go with d3 girls party hard, but I thought the "is my jean size normal?" threads were just hysterical.
can someone explan these jokes? Particularly interested in the Paolo one and gobble gobble
1.)Gobble Gobble M'fer [for the unwashed, this is what you yell in the finishing chute of your local turkey trot while passing someone]
2.)The 49 year old who loses to a 24 year old kenyan woman and slams his fists at the awards banquet regarding '...training his brains out' to beat her/win the race next year
3.) who did [or did not] 'look relaxed' at a given race and how to extrapolate from that relative fitness/speed/capability from a past race
4.) WWJR do [what Jim Ryun would or would not be able to do today given modern technology/tracks/shoes/training]--see also WWBBD [what would brian boitano do]
5.) 5x18 mile repeat workouts. I dont know why, just the insistence on repeating this over and over has me lol'ing
6.) Anything involving Kara crying. Those crack me up. Much respect to her career but I cant help but lol@ the trolls here that point out that if Kara is crying she either a)won b)lost c)got injured d)DNS e)DNF f)woke up that day
Physicality vs mentality (430)
going home DEVASTATED
