Running on pure hate

Running on "Pure Hate" is not for the timid nor the casual hobby jogger. It takes years of dissapointment and soul crushing discouragement to tap into this energy source for running purposes. Most early LRC threads on this subject believe that any distance longer than 800 can't be run on "Pure Hate" using quasi un-scientific theories. I myself have attempted to run a half-marathon on "Pure Hate", with only mixed results, I'm still refining this method with extended tweaks and adjustments. I expect it could take me more years to completely master this technique of running. I hope to perfect this method by the time I reach 85 and surpass Ed Whitlock in the 90-95 age group records.

Expect Great Things and MAGA

I hope to run a half marathon on pure hate later this year. Track tempo in the midst of an 11 miler was run ok pure hate today as co-ed soccer intramurals was gearing up. I almost ran someone over in lane one

I've found years of heartbreak,dissapointment, and dissatisfaction in one's life can be used as integral catalyst to initiating running on "Pure Hate". It should be noted that this method should only be used spariningly in training and saved for racing. There is a good likelihood that Jim Walmsley trains too much on "Pure Hate" and this is why he blew up on both of his two Western States attempts. Just guessing, though!

Some believe that "Pure Hate" can't be stored and can only be used in short bursts, these the belief the 800 is the preferred distance for unleashing this effective energy source.

My experience is that by utilizing lifelong wellspring of angst one can with experience measure out enough "Pure Hate" for longer distances: 5k, 10k, and beyond. It's only speculation, but I suspect Kenenisa Berkele is one of the few runners who has successfully run a full marathon on "Pure Hate". The eyes and body language of someone running on "Pure Hate" is quite distinctive.

It should be noted that running on anger is a completely different animal and is mostly for weak minded individuals. Running on "Pure Hate" is also the polar opposite of zen running, chi running, and other feel good new-age trendy fads.

More to come as time permits...

Running anything over an 800 on Pure Hate is impossible. The half-life of Pure Hate is 400 meters, which has been theoretically predicted and experimentally observed many times.

Running a half-marathon on Pure Hate is like riding a unicorn across a rainbow.

Hate and Pure Hate are two distinct, fundamental forces that some runners learn to harness.

When I first tried to run on Pure Hate, I actually ran on Hate. After refining my technique to draw upon these forces, I eventually broke through and uncovered my untapped Pure Hate. I was more relaxed and in tune with myself rather than my competitors. That's part of the Purity of Pure Hate.

Tired now, I must go get some Pure Sleep.

Running on Pure Hate is parallel to Zen and Chi running. Running on Hate is what is antipodal.

The next stage of running on pure hate is becoming hate itself. Hate is a level of energy only a few can tap into and manipulate. These few include those with disappointing love lifes, poverty stricken backgrounds, just a dislike to east Africans, short man complex. I myself suffer from a small male piece which grants me great hate energy.

Are there any documented cases of women running on pure hate or is there another similar training method?

"Pure Hate" is an emotional state similar to the feeling one has when you were a fourth grader and being bullied on the playground by some future loser as you were physically unable to defend yourself against this grievous misjustice. Using this memory or similar instance to trigger an elevated performance in your running is only the beginning of understanding what the potential of "Pure Hate" is. Hate and "Pure Hate" are two completely different

concepts much like quantum physics and string theory.

Zen and Chi running are for sissies. Running on "Pure Hate" is best understood by those who have led a mostly unfulfilled and tortured life.

More to come...

Pretty sure Zola Budd ran on "Pure Hate". Sarah Baxter's Mt. Sac record run looks like she also tapped into "Pure Hate", although she may never be able to regain this level again.

Share your stories about running on pure hate here. Be it racing, workouts, or periods of training. How did running on pure hate help?

Rob Krar - ultrarunner - talks about going to a very dark place when the hurt starts. At the core of my dark place is an intense hatred of people. That hatred has fueled some very special race moments at distances from 5k to 100M.

Perhaps pure hate has a short half-life, but it also regenerates quickly. The transition from bliss to pure hate and back occurs multiple times during longer races.

Romans 12:9

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

By focusing on Hating what is evil one can use this as an unlimited source to extend the misbelief that "Pure Hate" can only be used for short periods of time. Many ultra runners such as Rob Krar have stated they suffer from clinical depression. This has more to do with running on fear than hate.

Running on "Pure Hate" is the abscence of fear.

For me, when I run on pure hate, my facial expression changes. It only lasts in bursts of 10-15 seconds. I know that if I'm racing and trailing behind someone, all I have to do is use that skill and I'm ahead of them. I can usually cover gaps of 30 or 40 meters. I've used this tactic multiple times when I surpass hobby joggers and people running in their college memorabilia.

Especially when I see Texas A&M shirts, I will always surpass them.

Thoughts. If Pure Hate can only be used for 800m and down, can you use that distance as your kick in a race?

You are in a 5k road race, you are next to a guy that stole your girl. Quarter mile out, you tap into the pure hate to bury him. Is this a possible way to use pure hate?

Hate is a human instinct, and it is rarely strong enough to overcome the animal instinct of self-preservation. Once oxygen debt and fatigue sets in, you would be surprised how quickly you forget about the hate which had fueled you up to that point.

Hate is the opposite of love.

If love is enough to make someone buckle in the knees, then hate is something that can make you run through pain as strong as severe runner's knee.

I've done something like that and I was able run through runner's knee. In the end, it delayed my healing for 2 more months.

Was it worth it? Yes.

If you can´t run longer than 800m on pure hate, then your hate isn´t very strong.

In a recent 10k, I had just spent a mile slowly working past a group of 5 or so other runners and into 3rd place overall (a distant 3rd, the talent dropoff from 2 to me was pretty extreme!) when I took at wrong turn at an intersection due to no signage and a poor water table placement that was so far off the road that it almost implied the course turned (a buddy of mine made the same wrong turn later), right in front of two volunteers who just stood there saying nothing. Anyway, got about 15-20 meters and something didn't seem right. Turned around and saw the group that I had just spent the last mile working past going straight and not turning and realized I'd gotten off course. I don't know if what followed was running on hate, or just unbridled rage, but I turned and sprinted back, shouting at the volunteers that they need to do their jobs as I chased after the group of runners. It may have taken me a mile to pass them the first time, but it only took me about a minute to catch up and pass them the second time as I didn't slow down until I'd reclaimed 3rd place.

Running on these emotions require a classification of some sort.

I can tell you that I have unlocked the skill of running on a mix of hate/pure hate. It's not fully pure hate because I'm still relatively young (

Apologies for the double messaging. It appears that LetsRun doesn't want me to reveal the secret.
