Help fund me as a nationals runner!

What are your PRs? How long have you been running? How long do you plan to continue pursuing this goal?

Run for 5 years.

PR 800: 2:15

Will pursue this goal until I get 1000$

you have a job. Do you own funding.

What kind of a name is Jezza? 2:15? Seriously? Like the other poster said, you have a job. How much does it cost for running? $100 every few months for shoes? Seriously Jezzy, pay for your own stuff. You are slow as all get out. I thought you were little kid but your pic shows you as a grown man. A sissy man if you can't even pay for your own gear. Running is a poor man's sport. If you were a polo player I might pitch in some so your horse could eat. But a runner? And a slow runner to boot? Seriuosly Jezzy - back off!!!

OP you suck.

"help fund me as a nationals runner"

"Help me achieve my National Dreams"

These are things that people says when they don't know jack about running. What is a 'nationals runner'?. I know what you mean, but you don't even sound like you've spend any time around the sport.

I get it. You're found out that you have some ability to run an OK 800. Faster than the penguins, but a long way from a legit competitor. There are high school girls all around that run faster than 2:15... but if you paid attention to the sport as a whole instead of how it relates to you and you only, you would know that.

"I need $1000 to pay for both long term and short term equipment and coaches. It is hard to support a running career while working part time!"

Put on your big boy pants and train like the rest of us who have jobs. Your job cant be so hard that you can't train at the end of the day. Sack up and just do the training. Your picture makes you look pretty flabby, which says to me you haven't put in the required time to run faster. Why would I give you a dime if you complain about not being able to train, rather than just training.

Don't ask for a handout just because it's your dream. Lots of people have dreams. You don't seem to want it enough.

Here is me being a dick...

There are people in this country who have kids that only eat meals at school because their parents cannot afford food.

There are kids in other countries who go days without food. And you expect other people to donate money so you can drop a time that will get you dusted in any international competition? Seriously??? Get some persepective.

Here are the job classifieds for Craig's List in Brisbane. Get a second job so you can pay for your own stuff.

take a cue, and borrow Leo's idea....

print some shirts with a cool graphic and try selling them.... actually learn from other peoples' mistakes..... do the graphic, take orders then print them quickly and ship them out

Mr. Jezza:

Thanks to meet you. You seem like quite the gentleman. My name is Bellegrosia but the kids here call me Lady Bella. When I say the kids here I mean the orphanage I run here in Manilla, Philippines. The kids here are very happy in spite of little food, no toys, raggedy clothes and no activities. They manage to smile during the hard days because they believe in God and love each other. The reason I am writing this to you is because you seem like a very kind man. A very, very kind man. Who also seems to have a very nice job as a graphic designer. I am not too familiar with that job but you seem to be a VIP - that means very important person. Timmy learned that in school every day. Timmy is very hungry. All the kids are very hungry. Mr. Jezza, could you please send some money to the orphanage here so the malnourished kids can eat a little better? Thanks in advance.

Love,

Lady Bella

Seriously this many people were fooled by this troll? Nobody has called him out as a troll yet?

Very good trolling attempt.

You are welcome to just draw directly from my bank account. I will post the routing number followed by the account number after my long run tonight. Please feel free to withdraw as much as you like. I trust you.

lmao at fkin 2:15

There are numerous high schoolers and college runners who break that time (like sub 2) and most of them don't make it to the elite level.

Unless you ran 2:15 with only a 1-2 months worth of training or have some noticeable genetic talent of that nature, then just please stop ,for your own good.

Hi Jezza,

I would encourage you to just keep on having fun training and racing without expecting any type of sponsoring. Running isn't an expensive sport at your level (not much travel needed for competition, no expensive coach needed, etc.) so you should be able to get by. Your best of 2:15 for the 800m is honestly really far from what you need to attract the interest of sponsors.

However, if you ever improve to running sub 1:46 800m's I will be happy to pay the 30 AUD to get my name on your competition shirt.

Know the girl who just won the mile at NCCA nationals? Her name is Emily Lipari. She closed in a 2:15 to win the title. And prob runs 2:15s all day in her sleep.

i could find you a sponsorship deal and help with coaching
