The continual emphasis on pounds for runners..this should stop

Ah yes. There they are. So, essentially, you are beating me by about 4 minutes at that distance.Okay, so you are faster.But, again, the .8 mile lead does not entitle you to say who is fat or skinny or whether weight matters.You can do it for you but not anyone else.

You are slaughtering any ground you made here.

If it is too much then why do I have no injuries of which to speak or worry?

So, let's talk brass tacks here and leave the classroom out of it. What kinds of times are you netting within the last few years?

Last 3. Do not give college times, please

Truth, I'm leaving a waste land out here, like slaughtering a cow....

I already posted my last few years on the first page. But I don't want to bring up the times again.

I run my times for me and not for you.

If my times were food, I'm sure you'd eat them too.

Haha. Surely, you meant Sean Penn.Dear Lord, I hope you did

On the first page is a link to my times if you want to see what I mean.

And then, you say it's not about weight but logic, then you refer to me as full-figured without knowing what I look like?

You just undid pages of your own logic.

What?

I posted a redaction.

To clarify about alphas and beta to use one of my favorite movies with the Alpha Sean Connery and the legendary Nic Cage

"Betas are always whining about trying their best, Alphas go home and fuk the prom queen."

Finally, I've poked apart you illogical ramblings. You keep coming back. So now that I have bested you for the public to see, I will make subtle yet weighty comments about your build.

I love this phrasing. You "completed" races. You didn't race or compete. You "completed." And you're proud of that fact, as though it's an accomplishment. That right there illustrates your loser, beta mindset. Yay, you walked 3 miles! What an amazing feat! Here's a finisher medal, champ!

Try to keep up.

Shirly you can't be serious, I meant Sean Connery...

Being .8 ahead of you may not give me the right to say if you're skinny or fat. But I would still be able to stop pull down my pants poop in the road for you to step in and still finish before you. Thus giving me the ability to literally and figuratively sh*t on you.

Shirley* damnit

The fact that you think people on these message boards will agree with your point and change their own points of view is amazing. A majority of people are now just trolling you because you keep responding. Please just keep your thoughts to yourself and stop making yourself look like a fool.

Sincerely,

A skinny college runner who's last post was to only piss you off

How about no.I will flesh this out with the risk of whatever inanity because this body shaming has to stop.The more you troll, the more I will not go awayYou just want me silent so you can only have to read the friends who agree with you.No, I will not be silent because what you are showing the world is simply how mean you can be, and it further validates the rationale as to why these viewpoints must stop.I may be slow but I am not a quitter.

As you delve further into this, you are starting to unravel.Your point is much weaker now than when you started.Thank you.

The OP is reminding me of some poster a few years back who started a thread about the way we think about running or some nonsense. Does anyone remember what I'm talking about? Maybe it's the same guy.

Yep.Mike from San Diego.I made that post.people here have only gotten worse.

Horsepower to weight ratio, the lighter you are the faster you run. Also the heart doesn't have to work as hard to pump the blood through less fat. So being fit, healthy an FAST correlate with low weight.

I realize you are a troll. But let's be clear: body shaming is an internal process. You obviously have issues with your body. Work on those issues. Stop drinking the HAES/FA koolaid.

Or keep trolling you saucy fat f..ool.

Meow hold on, the further we delve into this the more we trim the fat of off the true issue. Here's the skinny of the point that we continue to dance around. You are unhappy with your results. They are simply bloated. Your times are larger than you hope. I can see you are bursting at the seams to tell us what is really eating at you. So please, drop the weight off your shoulders and let it all hang out.

Oh, I see.You misunderstood the whole premise.Now I get it.I love my times.I love my improvement.I continue to train for improvement.So do many.But what we look like doing it? Well, that is just none of your business (see: nunya)Our scale number is nunya too

This is actually a great illustration of the merits of trolling. A good troll inspires discussion so that you don't even care if he's being genuine. Heck, it's not like most of us will ever meet more than a few people from this board in real life anyway. So what does it really matter?

Incidentally, I'm not totally sure if this guy is trolling. There's something about the way his writing style seems to mirror the quality of his thought (confident, yet muddled) that makes it seem genuine. And the similarity in style to his previous thread is particularly interesting. If he's a troll, then he's created a remarkably consistent alternative persona.

Agreed on all fronts. His writing actually reminds me of the writing of outside runner, although I know it's not him.

Fat Acceptance is one of the more shameful things that has happened in our society in recent times. There are certainly bigger issues (weightier issues, Tomato Tomato might say), but it is important because it is illustrative of where we are moving as a society.

Good post.

If Bekele at 5-4'' and 121 lbs were my height (6-1'') with the exact same body proportions as he has now, he would weigh 180 lbs. I weight about 170-175. So proportionally speaking, I am skinnier than the GOAT runner. When I realized this, I quite thinking about my weight.

Also, there was a time (as a full grown adult) when I was purposefully below 160 lbs. I ran slower at that time than when I raced at 165-170.

Nope, completely wrong.

5'4" 121 lbs = BMI 20.8

6'1" 180 lbs = BMI 23.7

In what universe is that exactly the same?
