I would just like to know the collective prs of people who have responded to this. Like dog any of you run in college? Probably not! Y’all some slow mf’ers who don’t even know how to train.
The only thing former college runners are good at is being miserable runners for the rest of their lives, or quitting. Successful pros included.
I no longer care what anyone is doing on strava. What does bug me is those who give selective kudos but I can just remove them if I wanted to.
I didn't feel compulsive about giving kudos until I got a few strava friends that give them on every run. If I don't check their profiles to see if I missed one of their runs in my feed, I'll seem like a selective kudos person.
But also, you get one kudos max from me a day. People need to make their boring/ancillary activities muted or private. Oh wow 0.96 mi cooldown at 8:23?? Oh neat you lifted weights? Oh cool you took a walk while you were visiting another city for a race? stfu and stop desecrating everyone's feed who follows you. I get that it's a training log too, that's the complication - people want to upload everything they do, and they don't want to bother with making certain activities private, so we get the whole shebang. Instagram would suck if it doubled as a bulk storage solution for all your images, and everyone had to look at every single one of everyone else's images.
Any workout you push too hard to finish, then use that as a basis for going out too hard in your next race. I'm not saying don't run hard workouts. I'm saying if you are a workout all-star who can't produce on race day, then you are most likely blowing your ammo by hammering workouts.
Yasso 800s probably because they are just a numerical artifact and if anything will dig you a hole. Nevertheless, have hardly every seen a more pretentious and ill-informed post as the OP's. WTF is up wit that?

Stop following me. It’s my workout log. Strava is convenient for that. Also, I would never post a photo on Strava. And don’t give me a kudos either. Don’t even look at my data. I keep it public for the segment competitions.

Huh? You make something public but I'm not allowed to look at it? Can I point at it?
Currently I am training for nothing, just running to run. At this point 7:00-7:20 feels more comfortable than 7:40+ IF I was training for something different story. Not many runs between 6:40-7:40. Either faster or slower.
Like the weekend long run, Gives me an opportunity to just veg out and talk with my friends.
Strava - Use it for GPS on runs plus able to log what Im doing though I do keep a paper log as well. Notes I make are for me so when I go back I can remember.
Damn Im a pretty cringy dude. Im okay with that though because I am running for me. Im old, Im not going to get back under 70 for a half so shoot Im going to enjoy.

1) spending more than 10 minutes on drill exercises. i get that there are pros who do them for more than an hour, but that is literally their job and the diminishing returns will hit hard after a certain point.
2) i agree. weekly long runs are too much. instead, you're better off doing it every other week while the weeks you don't do long runs are maybe semi long runs with some up and down hills
3) high mileage. unless if you're a pro athlete contender, the time you waste on so many miles can be invested in much better things.
