I don't get it. Either they're pathological liars or just retarded. We run a tempo and one guys says he was jogging 5:00 the whole way, even though he was about 10 seconds per mile ahead of me and I was doing 5:30s (and he's usually just behind me in races so I know he wasn't "jogging"), we do a long run and one guy breaks away and then says he was running 5:20s the last 6 miles even though he barely runs faster than that pace in an 8k race, etc. WTH? Do these people actually believe what they're saying? Why do some guys feel the need to talk themselves up so much? If I run 5:30 pace, I say I ran 5:30 pace (if someone asks). No need to brag or make things up. I don't get it.
