Reason for training

Excellent rationale. You'll run 5k's on pure hate from now on.

Yes, yes, yes.

You're a head case that wont amount to anything. Give up running and continue to think like a loser the rest of your life.

In my local running scene there's guy who has beaten me every time we've raced and I do not like him. There are many people who I have never beaten. This individual, however, I don't like. His looks, actions, demeanor everything about him reek of a car with homeless people having sex in it. He is a pretentious piece of crap that deserves only to reside at the bottom of septic tank. His girlfriend btw has the appearance of someone that f*@$ mailboxes.

During the last several weeks I have found that the rationale for my training has gone from dropping times to beating this person. Is this a healthy, short term, long term rational for training?

Bien sûr. This is the difference between racing and shared time-trialing.

Yes, consider yourself lucky to have a rival. This isn't golf.

Fortunately or unfortunately everyone in my local racing scene is pretty nice. Never met a bad person.

Dude. No. Lord no.

We've been over this.

5000 is WAY to far to run off pure hate. 800 is the absolute max one can do that.

Once the Pure Hate depletes, what is available to run on? Pure.........?

wrong, it takes a special skill and you have to dip into the hate tank several times during the race. you are going to have to obsess over this d-bagger, your boss and ex girlfriend if you want to make it to the finish line.

Yeah dude totally! I have rivals when I'm running. If I know someone and they're lazy they can be drastically better shape but no way in heck they're gonna beat me. Like there's guys who do workouts I couldn't touch but they don't run all summer and do 25-30 mpw and I beat them in races because I'm shallow and can't let someone like that beat me

I ran a 10k last week off pure hate and he wasn't even running in it.

Here's my training schedule:

(1) pure hate twice-a-day, as many days as you can - four, five or six days a week (2) increase your hate, look, you guys are made of the disdain and evil as me, you can do it. Find your own sweet spot (3) meet with a hate group twice a week (4) one tempo run of hate just four to six miles and (5) one workout of pure hate 1200m to 2000m repeats OR 16 to 24 by 150m to 300m of pure hate (5) don't try to impress anyone, hate within yourself (6) relax, the real hating doesn't begin until September.

He's not a bad person. I should have also stated that we hate each equally and the disdain has been out in the open for some time.

Have you ever stabbed someone. Think about stabbing the guy next time you race. It takes a real hate to stab someone.

This guy lost the race, but he was a great hater.

Tell that to Galen Rupp! He set an American record for hating indoors (faltering at after Bethwell dropped as loneliness took over) and then proceeded to hate through 5 miles of interviews! As everyone on here knows, no one can get that type of hate, no matter how much you hate LetsRun interviewers!
