My mate lied about his PR, I found out...what to do?

mate1 noun, verb, mat·ed, mat·ing

2. one member of a pair of mated animals

Maybe the race wasn't chip timed and he started 10 minutes from the starting line.

hahahaha

shouldnt you fellas in london be more concerned about car bombs than marathon prs?

Break his heart. Tell him he could have broken two hours if only he had listened to Gerry.

Hope that he eventually breaks his PR and runs 2:31, so it won't be a lie anymore.

LOLOLOLOL

lifes too short :)

were not all perfect, let it go

Post "anonymously" on a message board and call your "mate" out in the process.

leave it - hell who hasn't lied about their PB's. Over the years a 15:50 5K will become 15 dead just for simplicity and why not - who does it hurt? Hell I ran 16 mins for 4 miles but that was in the pre-internet days.

This is actually an interesting topic because although it would be very easy to lie about your pr's not many runners do it, here is why:

There are certain things in life that is o.k. to lie about, maybe even encouraged to lie about: 1) how much beer you can drink 2) how many women you have had 3) how much money you make.

One thing that is not o.k. to lie about is your p.r.'s. That is not cool, it makes you look like an idiot and will drag down the credibility of your sport if everyone did it, kind of like taking steroids.

No one respects a p.r. liar.

hahahaha, post of the year, haven't laughed so hard in a while.

Does it really matter? His lying shows his insecurity for whatever reason. Let it go.

Treat him like only a real man knows how to treat a man. He has feelings too you know.

Maybe hehetame needs to know that english is used differently -- especially in the slang contexts -- in different parts of the english-speaking world.

Jeez. Didn't "London Ned" give you a clue, mate?

He has had his time of glory and only cheated himself, he was dreaming of self satisfaction and being the best.

Why not show him that you can beat him when your next running a race together, go out there and burn him off by a good margin to show him your better than him now!

Train and run like hell to beat him off and show him!

you ran 2:36? how do we know that you're not lying?

If he really is your "mate"...

Call a team meeting and out your good mate of 4 years. Shame him in front of everyone.

Then divorce your mate. If you can't trust your mate whats the use of having one.
