It was a tactical race. 7 syllables
It was a sit and kick race. 7 syllables
Negligible difference
Let's complain about sitting and kicking not really describing what's happening.

It's like people are trying desperately to sound like they are still in middle school.
This, or "1:49-man." Do i become a different person when I PR by one second?
This is LRC, where 1:49 half-marathoners can post anonymously as 1:49 800 runners. Dude you PR'd by a minute to get under two hours. Be proud of your feat!

"drop" , as in "He dropped a 4:38 mile in the middle of the race"
"Pancake-flat" in reference to a course that isn't flat.
Referring to the 800m or 1500m as a "long sprint."
Calling it a "kick" whenever you see someone separating ahead from his group near the end of a race. More often than not, it's that the other guys are slowing down and the guy is maintaining pace.

It's all mental... as in, you can run faster if you just believe it.
Right. I know I can run as fast as Usain Bolt if I just believe it hard enough.

"yeah man my last click was solid, i was moving super fresh"

I feel like I'm in then minority with hating this one. But most of the guys this board places in this category are not actually working very hard at work. I respect them as runners but I wish people would give this a rest.
It's not about their day job work, it's about their running work.
Brian Sell was blue collar in both.
The video of Brian Sell working at Home Depot is pretty funny-

You're an idiot. It's like saying all roads are twisty because they're not perfectly straight.
I could have caught that dude but I'm in Ironman shape so my kick sucks right now.
