I have been running every sunday morning with the same person for 3 years. Last Sunday I realized "I hate this person." Hate, like muslims hate tall builings hate. I just do not know why I have been running with this person for all this time.
How do I break up with him and not run together anymore?
Oh, and it's not me, it's him.
Fake an injury. Tell him it only hurts to run on Sunday mornings.
PowerPoint!
Give his email to Jackie Zeigle and let her break the news.
post of the hour.
Try running faster than him.
I agree with the last post, just hammer him on the runs. I used to do that when the younger boners in hs tried to run with me, just make em hurt, theyll get the idea.
Put anti-freeze in his Gatorade. Or get some balls and just lay it on the line, politely. Try saying "I think I want to run alone for a few Sundays and see how it goes if you don't mind" Or say it non-politely "You know I have to admit I hate your f***ing guts. I can't even stand the sight of you. You make me sick and I can't take it anymore. I even went on LetsRun to get some ideas on how to dump your sorry ass"
Just say that you got a new girlfriend that is starting to run, and the only day she can run is sunday. She wants you to run with her. Alone.
gradually increase the Sundays that you cancell. he'll get the message. or
discuus your recent conversation to Jehova Witness and how it could change his life
Just tell him the truth. He has been hammering you every sunday and you are so wiped out it is hurting your workouts the rest of the week. He kicks your ass in every race and it is really starting to bug you. Maybe his mom is available and slow enough you will be able to keep up with her without abusing your legs. Good Luck.
There has to be more to this story than what you're telling us. You suddenly hate this person after 3 years? Did he come on to you? Did you suddenly realize you're gay and might be attracted to him? Details, more details........

Well, here a short of the long story....
First of all, he's kind of goofy and wears all sorts of gear like a GPS on his wrist and a gu fanny pack. All he talks about is the next f-ing marathon he is going to run and what kind of training he is putting in. All that talk and he always gallow's in like a 4:20. It cracks me up that he goes to the track. His 800's are run at what my marathon pace probably is!
When I first started running was four years ago and back then I thought this guy was the shiat since he was logging about 40 miles a week. I was blown away that someone can run that much. He volunteered to take me under his wing and teach me about competitive running.
Well, needless to say, in just three years running with him I have achieved more than he could ever achieve and he's been running for 20 years. He is just a joke who is fooling himself into thinking that he is not wasting his time by being a runner. Heck, I'm running a 5K now in the low 19's and he cannot even break 21. Anyone that can't break at least 20 ought to find another way to spend their time.
I want to start running with some other better quality runners instead of being kept dragged down by this guy. The only problem is that he is my ride to the Sunday run unless I can get a car.
ok, this must be a troll
"Heck, I'm running a 5K now in the low 19's and he cannot even break 21"
I liked his idea... Go with the powerpoint and put in lots of graphs and charts.
The one thing you need to realize is that a 21 5k is pretty good for a 92 year old. The greater concern is that he is still driving. Maybe since you just turned 30 it is time you finally got your drivers license. They do have oral tests and special help for cases like you. Good Luck
"Anyone that can't break at least 20 ought to find another way to spend their time."
Almost anyone else here could say the same thing about someone who can't break 19, or 17 for that matter. If you were at least in the 18s I could understand your problem. If you do your Sunday run as an easy day and he does it as a long run, you shouldn't have a problem.
That being said, if you really want to get rid of him just run him 15 miles out into the middle of nowhere where he has no clue where he is and doesn't know how to get back and then take off and leave him in your dust. You'll probably never see him again.
Three words: "I am gay."
