BYU Training on Sundays?

What are LDS runners?

Dyslexic LSD runners.

Later Day Saints

We didn't train on sundays either- consistent top 20 D1 program.

MY recollection is that Ed Eyestone did not run on Sundays.

This is the hidden secret to successful running. Notwithstanding the Tinmans and other coaches of the keep the ball rolling mindset, a 48-hour recovery after a race (w a longer than normal cool down) or long, hard run is very fruitful.

BYU doesn't run on Sundays. Other good teams probably have a short day during the week for recovery whereas BYU has a 0 mile day. In past threads it was said that some BYU athletes train late Saturday and early Monday to make up for the off day Sunday, but in recent years it seems they have a normal 6 day a week training schedule. 100 mpw in 6 days can be as effective as 100-120 in 7 days - this is the quality of training including recovery is just as effective.

There is a HUGE snitch culture at byu. They probably bury their Strava and drive to another state for their Sunday training in order to avoid getting ratted out and a trip to the bishop's office.

but they still post some of their Sunday runs on strava? like the day before XC nationals

The myth that they never run on Sundays is the same as the myth that they never run while on their mission assignment.

Yes, they run on Sundays (not as a team). No, they don’t run on their missions - this is not a myth. I did the mission thing. To stay in shape I would get up early and jump rope in the appt. You are not allowed to go out on your own so if your comp isn’t a runner you’re not running. All total I probably ran 10 times on my mission. I had an extremely talented comp from Brazil who went out on a few runs with me. He was really into soccer but the guy was probably sub 1:50 800 talent. I guess there could be some that work something out where they can run but I’ve never heard of it and I don’t see many mission presidents putting up with it or allowing it.

I've heard "fun" things happened between companions when they got home at night ?

True ?

byu is just as hypocritical as anywhere else. If someone there thinks that they can get away with some "violation" of the ridiculous "honor code" without getting snitched on by their roommate or neighbor, then they do it. Just like the quorum of seventy and the general high council of decrepit old racist poobahs look the other way when a mormon quarterback plays a Sunday game in the NFL. If it brings in the "voluntary" tithes that line their greedy pockets, then it is OK. If their polyg cousin kicks down one of his pre-teen children from a sister wife to join your harem, then it is OK. If they own stock shares in CocaCola, then fill the shelves of ZCMI with caffeinated sugar water.

Funny how they aren't trusted at all to follow the little "rules" on a mission. They are required be followed constantly by a little snitch just waiting to rat them out to the mission "president" if they call their mother or have an iced tea.

Thank you all for the vile hate-filled posts. Any decent person reading would have to lean a little more favorably to the Church after reading those. Again thank you.

Really? Which part of my post was hate-filled and/or vile?
