Girls sharing strava workout pics on Instagram looking like they’re going g 4:30 pace but actually running 9min pace

Ps continuation: but I’m having some trouble scrolling on my phone

Links or I don't believe you

What makes it look like they're going super fast? high knees and both feet off the ground? you're probably right in suspecting the pics are staged. to this millennial, it sounds like typical millennial behavior. because you know pics of 5 hour marathoners look like they're walking.

They look far better than those chicks who actually run 4:30 pace.

Chicks who run 9:00 pace for 10 miles are the hottest chicks on the planet. When they drop, you'll learn.

Still no pics?

I would if they were random instagram girls, but they're my friends and I don't really wanna subject them to the LR folk

That, arm position, blurry background or blurry runner/legs. Also, knowing what they look like when running normally (I run with them every once in a while at around 8:00 pace), it's not the same as the pics.

It's a bit late for that if you are friends with them.

Everything in moderation

This thread shouldn't even exist without pics

Rojo shut this thread down unless we get pics!

If this is true, then you're totally stupid. Why don't you ask your friends about why they do what they do instead of asking strangers?

Due to obvious reasons.

They're not actually friends and the OP lied in an attempt to impress us.

You mean like this girl?

she always shows up on my insta feed. a quick google search says she runs a 22 min 5k. yet in all of her pictures you'd think she was a 2-flat 800m runner.

Exactly!

Although the girls on my insta actually post the pace in the photo, so you don't even have to google them to know they aren't as fast as they like to look.

P.s.: Thanks for the photo contribution everyone had been requesting hehe

Athlinks had her under 20 in one race.

She is really trying to be a fitness model, so she is doing all the jumping, yoga poses, etc., just to look sporty, which I approve of wholeheartedly!!

There are enough pictures of fatties around, what's wrong with pictures of a small blonde girl in a sports bra?
