Runner's World pays woman to get stoned, go for runs and write about it

You sound like you ought to sit back, smoke some marijuana, and relax my friend.

Smoking anything is hardly likely to improve your running or health.

Ridiculous & irresponsible.

I love running high. You don't have to smoke it in order to get stoned. Cannabis tea before a run is the best.

OTOH, I would guess that LRC would pay someone to get stoned and then post on their forums.

Seriously. I like what the Brojos have to contribute to the sport, though it's not exactly the order of magnitude they think it is. But now that you mention it, yeah, most of what they write on the boards sounds like the kind of stoned rambling where you start speaking halfway through the thought and don't give yourself a chance to finish.

For some reason I thought this was about lapidation, I was so confused.

I thought this was going to be a story about young women in Syria being stoned to death by ISIS for daring to run without covering there legs, face, and bellybutton.

That would have been courageous journalism not a puff piece condoning the use of devil weed.

MAGA

Interesting article. The whole weed fitness coaching seems pretty b.s. to me but I love running and racing high. I can definitely relate to the writer's perspective in being lazy or distracted when too stoned, low enough dosage is important. But for me if i take 2-3 hits then head straight out the door I'm in the zone, laser focused on running. I usually have to make sure that im reasonably rested cuz the high runs turn out to be pretty hard fartleks.

i love running stoned, too. I'm sure you do lots of things for reasons other than improving running or health.

Going for a run after a little toke is an experience that one may have, and may enjoy. If it offends you that is only your problem.

I've had the exact opposite experience

Sign me the f up for this

***their, not "there"

I can't run anymore, but stoner walks and bike rides are the greatest things of all time.

If you can run under the influence of caffeine, why not cannabis? While it's been used before runs in my past, I use it mostly as a post workout remedy nowadays. There is a huge paradigm shift happening with how cannabis is used, who uses it, and ultimately what the plant has been for thousands of years is being mainstreamed and old made up stigmas are loosing credibility. Most runners refuse to believe fellow runners (maybe faster than them) can use it regularly and still maintain a high level of fitness.

Surprise, surprise. She hated running stoned.

Sounds like an interesting article.

Just like you did. Prior to advertising it.

Idiot.

Apart from frying your brain (go and check the studies on long term use of pot when you guys have a min) i thought you would need a stimulant to get going and unless i am mistaken pot is anything but...

So hard to see people who REALLY RUN and with therefore a bit of experience/self consciousness on what gets them going resorting to that....

But hey we all know RUNNERS are a minority around here...

Dude are you high.

I'm doing my long run today whilst stoned AF, as per usual. I will have no problem maintaining by usual easy pace. It worth trying once.
