despite the fact that some runners can run through pain or feeling like shit they are notb referred to as grinders. Why? Because if you have good form, stay relaxed while kicking, have any speed, are a normal runners weight, etc. Then you are not a grinder. But if you weigh more than you should, have shitty form, grunt and make ugly faces and are forced to push the middle of a race because you cannot kick,and you are untalented then you are a grinder.
Could you post this again?
I don't think I got it the first two times.
I'm a grinder. But, only because I have no speed. I think people mistake being consistant with being tough.
Some of us just aren't that fast.
Being a "grinder" is a compliment of sorts. A "grinder" in my book is someone who is a hard-nosed, gritty, tough competitor who may not be the world's prettiest runner, but still gets the job done every time. You can LOOK like a million bucks while running and just be slow. You can LOOK like a grinder, and just be slow. Slow is slow. Grinders are not slow, just not pretty. But that's just my opinion!
a grinder?
some white guy who busts his ass for years to be as good as the worst kenyan runner.

In some parts of the country (New England, I believe), "grinder" is another term for a kind of sandwich commonly known as a "hero." So to call someone a grinder, is to call them a hero. Hope that helps.
A grinder also has to win high level races to be considered good.
Baldini and Lebid are(were) grinders that win rather than just "do their best".
Radcliffe also.
i take it you're from new york or somethin? yea not "commonly" non as heros, the fantastic four are heros. lets just call them subs like 90% of the country and leave it at that
Why would being a poor athlete be considered a compliment?
You could say that someone who is overweight, has poor form, can't kick, etc., simply hasn't trained properly. That is not something to be proud of.
Brian sell and nate jenkins are referred to as grinders, but they suck in races all the time. Very inconsistent.
