It sounds like you need therapy.

I was at Hayward and observed hate in Rupp's eyes the last 800 of his 26:44 AR. Without pure hate Rupp closes in 2:07 and not 1:57. Well done letsrun for teaching Rupp/Salazar how to close a 10k and set a new American record.
I'm a lover. Can I not run a 800 on love?

Yes, if you love to hurt.

I don't think that's gonna work.

Easy, just think of Mike Rossi. Instant PR
Bumping on pure hate.
As a relative newcomer to this site, I learned about this thread well after the fact. Absolutely phenomenal work by all parties involved.
FWIW, I actually thought about this thread during a set of 800s not too long ago. Granted, this was not an open 800, but the end of a set of 8 x 800. I focused on something that had ticked me off that week, and let'er rip.
I made it 200m. I either need to work on my endurance or my ability to loathe. Or both.
Upon reading this thread about a week ago, I decided to incorporate this method into my 800m racing. I spent the days before my meet thinking about everything I hated. This included:
-My Neighbors
-Donald Trump Enthusiasts
-Those jerks in my 2nd period
-Midgets (God I hate those things)
-Mexican food
-My ex girlfriend
-The Star Wars Prequel Trilogy (Jar Jar Binks)
-Math
-My third grade teacher who told me I wouldn't go anywhere in life (She's been right so far)
-Kanye West's Clothing Line (except for yeezy's, but their price could definitely be lower)
-And running
With these thoughts that induced my rage to its maximum capacity, I toed the line, gnawing on my forearm in the process. The gun went off and I was immersed in the rage. I was so immersed that my vision filled with a red tint (or that might have been the meth, who knows). Before I even hit the 50m mark, my body began to undergo a legendary transformation. My lip began to quiver as facial hair began to sprout at an abnormally rapid rate. Around 150m into the race, I saw someone taking a #RaceDaySelfie, to my dismay. Although, I saw something quite peculiar. I had transformed into the man, the myth, the legend, the one, the only, Steve Prefontaine. I was astounded, but this filled me with even more rage because I remembered how Steve rammed himself into another car. He didn't want it bad enough. But I did. I rounded onto the homestretch with the fans cheering for me. I give them a look of disgust and begin to hurl. It was comparable to a fountain of vomit showering the entire track. The surface of the track was so slippery, it made the entire field trip behind me. Going into the last lap I knew that the more I raged, the more I'd vomit. But that was a risk I was willing to take. The entire backstretch brought tears to my eyes. Vomit was effortlessly flowing out of my throat onto the crisp track. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever witnessed in my 18 years of life on this earth. Rounding the corner I put everything into that last straightaway. I knew that if I continued then I would run out of bodily fluids, but it was a risk I was willing to take. I cross the line. I look down to see blood and other fluids staining my uniform, but I didn't care. I knew what I had accomplished. I laid in the infield, only to have a meet official come to me and tell me that I broke the state record by 20 seconds. I was filled with joy... until he told me that I had been DQ'd due to having more then one logo under my waistband... and the fact that I turned into a dead man. Apparently those aren't eligible anymore.
Hate leads to the Dark Side.

I once ran the last 400m of a 1500m on pure rage.
I raged so hard through the finish line that my eyeballs burst out of my skull, followed by gushing streams of blood. Then I ripped off my nipples and threw them into the crowd.
The entire crowd synchronize-vomited in awe of the power of my rage. Alan Webb later gave me his last hair in recognition of the magnitude of my white-hot fury.

Practice focusing. Every day. Visualize.

this thread is 8+ years old, just think this guy has graduated high school AND college since he posted this. OP, if you see this, did it work?
Running on pure hate is and always has been BS. This meme needs to die out.
