Can anyone top that stupid workout?
I can think of something even dumber: complaining on a message board instead of asking your kid's coach directly.
Be an adult. Talk to the coach. (Even better, encourage your kid to talk to the coach directly, and maybe they will have a little more backbone than your parents gave you.)

Actually, be an adult and coach yourself. Nothing's worse than the "My coach....." rants that show up this time of year. This loser is 'your coach' only because you decided he was. Think you have a better idea of what to do? (Rhetorical question. All of you who post about idiot coaches do.) Then go and train your way. What is so hard about this? Do all of you clowns sign on with some ex-football-wannabe-soccer jerkoff just to have something to whine about on the Board?

tl;dr
Please, in future posts, refer to it as "states" not "state meet". Moran.

Deer Moran, please, in future posts, realize that a meet that belongs to a state is "state's" and not states, which would be a meeting of several states.

You want this person's kid to coach himself? Eventually, maybe, but that is asking a lot.

Race pace on the track or in the fields? Done on the track race pace should be fairly easy.

I'm enjoying all the butthurt in this thread. Classic letsrun.

The workout ended up being the second longest of the entire season. The highest total was 6000m done two weeks ago. And these are 20 to 22 minute hs girls, not 15:30 boys! lol

If all these girls are 20-22 minutes 5k runners, how on Earth did they make it to the State Meet in the first place???
