Seriously, I've browsed for a while now, and seldom see anyone actually discussing running. Seems posts mostly range from completely non-running related chatter (which is fine) to bashing runners who run at a level none of you will ever achieve to trashing people on the board with different ideas/opinions than you (the latter two of which are not fine).
I started browsing the board hoping for info/tips/news on running, but have found few decent posts about the sport of running. Pathetic.
You're about 7 years too late. It's all been said already -- you have to use the search function. After all, running is running, and hasn't changed all that much since the caveman days.
For recent news stay on the front page and out of the forums.
Pathetic loser.

Go away, troll. 1/10
Welcome to LetsRun, where your dreams become reality!
Did anyone see Jersey Shore tonight?
You came here hoping for info/tips/news on running? Then why did you click on that thread about swearing in front of your kids? Should be able to tell from the subject what the posts will be about.
This is no different than any other community. Go find a community about anything, LetsRead, LetsKnit, LetsDressforStyle... They all have 100x the activity on non-related discussion threads. The only difference is that these other boards are using a layout from this century, as opposed to the last century, so these things can be categorized.
What that means, is that if you wanted to solely discuss running, you could just ignore the sections devoted to off-topic chatter and only browse the running board.
...alas, we are stuck with a 1993 layout that everyone defends, so there is no hope.
What's this 'running' you're talking about?
Believe it or not, most runners talk about things other than running most of the time. This board accurately reflects that.

I dated this girl with a huge clitoris once. Just in case you're interested
You want a thread about something, start one. Not that f***ing hard.
There are plenty of running threads, but like others have said on most active sites like this, the general, off-topic, and/or controversial threads are some of the most popular.
What would help me is if threads were clearly categorized on this site so that I could just go to running discussions and not see the non-running related threads unless I wanted to.

That heel strike thread was about running and was the most popular thread that I can remember for a pretty good while.
I went running round the local park yesterday
That's the end of of my fun and interesting post.
Maybe if I added some strides (feeling comfortable) to my run someone could predict my 8km cross country time. I'm running one in the next year or so and would aslo like to argue with Ventolin about some random and unrelated times of another runner
Yes its time for bed!

Compelling narrative - thanks for sharing.
BTW - I can’t see what the OP is complaining about; this site is full of useful information when one puts one foot in front of the other. Can't wait until someone talks about chaffing.
Search function.
Yes
whats funny is a barely came to this site when i was a runner, now after college and being a rec runner at best is when i started to come here

^^This guy. There's threads on any topic imaginable in the BroJos database here, that's why they won't switch over to a post 1999 message board. Have at it.
Hey bro,
I ran about 4.7 miles tonight. A bit chilly and windy, and had to avoid some ice along the way. Pace was a bit slow...barely sub-8:00/mile.
How was your run today?
Keep it real.
