Have you run your sub 1:20 attempt yet?

He failed.

Wait, your sorry ass can't even run a 1:20 half marathon and you somehow get to poop all over this message board??? You are one slow, hobby-jogging MF-er. What a pathetic weenie. My 52 year-old coach could run you down.

Another LetsRun thread that's hopped the track from the original topic into random insults.

I bandited 12 miles of the HM course, so she must have passed me.

Anyway, older gent here (50+) and split 1:32 for HM along the way, and race at 1:18. So 1:19 for KG = 1:05 for the real deal!? (point is, people read way too much into these things)/bet 1:19 is about MP pace for her right now.

Have a nice day LRC idiot trolls

Naw, this guy is as slow as s**t and talks a lot of trash on here. He shouldn't post here like he's some bad-azz without being constantly reminded of his overall worthlessness as a runner.

lol my weekly longrun is 12 miles in 78 minutes, and I'm in high school. honestly, it isn't that hard, I could go 1:18 for 13.1 if I went harder than 80-85% effort.

You're in high school and you run 12 miles at 6:30 pace every week? What are your PRs?

I'm a freshman who had a crappy xc season, but I'll update you in like a week after my first 3200.

Indoor was like 4:40 and 9:25 3k but I was in a base phase.

It's great that she's an ambassador for the sport- beyond her prime but still racing. I'm sure she inspires a lot of women to run for health and fitness.

She's a terrible ambassador, She's constantly whining. She kept saying "something is coming" yet nothing is coming. She has ]done nothing in years. And when she loses she blames everyone...including people's shoes.

She hypes over price clothes that are pretty much tailor for thin, white, rich b***hes.

This thread wasn't sarcasm or making fun of her time. I legitimately wondered if she quit running but this shows she's still running and not injured anymore.

Well at least now you know why you had a crappy xc season and slow indoor times.

You punks always have the same excuses.

Probably getting ready for her Masters career. She turns 40 in less than 4 months.

I'm sure she can win some prize money, but Deena's masters records will not be touched for many, many years.

Not racing them, I feel really relaxed. Once I get to a certain point I just settle into a zone where it feels better when I go faster. We (my team) usually close with the last two miles around 6:00 flat, sometimes faster.

Why don't you reserve judgement until I'm not dealing with an injury (back half of xc) and not in a base phase, and we can talk once I put down an outdoor time. Good?

Those are great times for a freshman when healthy, never mind injured.

she threw down a couple of 1:11's right before the Oly trials/Rio right where she went 2:30 in those insane conditions

Just guessing she would be around 1:15 right now fitness wise?

so coming within 5 minutes of that means this was a solid effort no? but not a race. Something like MP for her now.

just a guess. Hi Kara!

Well to be fair you started it. Hopefully you'll run some good PBs this spring so you don't have to brag about long runs.

That's true, and you better believe I'm planning to.

Then reality sets in...ugh, it hurts.

Then WEee again...winning....then reality sets in, what to do with all the trophies..LOL!!!!

Do everything humanly possible to get faster and then celebrate Thanksgiving alone at a Denny's...lol! Reality.

I don't call my self a runner, I tell people I run. Ya'know neighbors. I live in the boonies, nobody knows me...WEEeeee this is fun!!!

I'm going to marry Patti, if she lets me!!!!!!!! She's my all-time favorite!!!!!!

I'm not the biggest Kara fan, but this wasn't a serious effort from her. She was there to promote.

Yeah, she barely tried...just a training run;)

Nobody ready for an elite marathon looks "great."
