What is your last running related dream? In Kenenisa Bekele last dream, he was answering questions with Donald Trump

My last two nightmares were me running away from zombies. Somehow, I always get trapped in a garage. I wake up feeling creeped out because I haven't watched The Walking Dead, or even played the TellTale Walking Dead games in a year.

I dreamt that I ran 52:18 in the Crim 10-Miler, only the course was 10 loops in my hometown (not accurate), I didn’t show up in the results, and my run wouldn't upload to Strava. Nightmare.

None of them have the dream where you're trying to run but either your legs won't move fast enough or the ground isn't there? I thought everyone had that dream.

But the last one I had was at the end of some NRR shenanigans, I needed to lose someone so I ran up a hill so steep it was basically a cliff, and knew there was no way they could follow. Woke up feeling triumphant.

I definitely have that one; it just is not my most recent. It’s the worst. Even worse than my nightmare described above.

I had a dream where I was running a marathon. My 5 mile split time was 20 minutes flat. Then, I dropped out because I realized I forgot to register

I'm currently contacting IAAF to see if my 5 mile split will count for any sort of record

The dreams that I can remember usually revolve around being called up for the Australian team at short notice to run in the Olympics (or the Tour de France, or my local football team) and feeling massively out of shape and out of my depth , given the fact that I am 49 years old

Last running related dream I had went like this:

I barely qualified for the Olympic marathon trials in Japan at the fukuoka marathon with a time of 2:17. As a underdog at the trials I just went as hard as I could through the first half in 1:02 and second half in 1:06 winning the trials in 2:08. Before collapsing after the finish line waking up in the hospital. I like to think this is God telling me expect great things.

Marathon sesh with Jordan Hasay.

I often had one where I was in the lead in a major race and then suddenly it is as if I am trying to run through jello.

I have lots of running-related dreams. Most recently, it was that I was running in the NCAA XC championships, but the whole field was literally walking. People only started running when the finish line was in sight. I ran 8 seconds for the last 100 meters FTW.

My last running related dream was so weird. I was out on a training run in the desert than all of a sudden I saw one of my rivals run past me. I try to go with him, but all of a sudden I get stuck in quicksand and right before I go down I see my coach telling me to get up and run. Weird.

I love that dream where I am running through jello -- my favorite flavor, with mandarin oranges. Hate waking up from that one.

I had a nightmare where I got really slow as I got older.

Oh wait....

I have several recurring running dreams.

One is where a group of us runners are in some town running through residential neighborhoods trying to find this secret-but-oh-so-fantastic trailhead that'll take us to the world's most perfect running trail. But of course we never do find that secret trailhead.

Another dream is where I run just outside the city limits of my original hometown (located in semi-arid climate) and find this winding mountain cinder road amongst snowfields and fir trees.

Then there's that dream where I finally run a sub 4 minute mile, but near the finish line I'm crawling on my belly clawing my way over the finish line.

As a long time Dipsea runner, I've dreamed at least a dozen times, that I am in the lead, then instead of taking one of the (legal) short cuts, I get lost and somehow find myself running through some weird building and finally arrive at the finish line buried in the pack.

The following is a condensed version of a dream I have frequently.

Theme to Chariots of Fire is playing along with occasional insertions of Warren Zevon playing Lawyers, Guns and Money.

Somewhere on a desert landscape, on a desolate cinder track, under a pale sky, I'm doing a 10/ 400 interval workout. On each lap I have a different set of workout pacers.

Lap 1: Zola Budd and Abebe Bikila are wearing Hokas. 1:20

Lap 2: Bill Rogers and Toshihiko Seko are speaking Japanese discussing their lost girlfriends. 1:15

Lap 3: Dave Wottle is not wearing his white hat but is whistling Dixie. 1:13

Lap 4: Daniel Komen and Haile Gebrselasie are discussing the latest developments in String theory. 1:11

Lap 5: Emil Zatopek is disguised as a hobby jogger wearing a pleasant smile. 1:10

Lap 6: William F. Buckley, Jack Keroac, and Barry Goldwater stop to have a gin and tonic. I stop to have an Armold Palmer.

20:00

Lap 7: Swedish Bikini team. (This is a family site so no need to provoke the censors with explicit details). Time not recorded for obvious reasons.

Lap 8: Yasmin and Suzy Favor Hamilton discussing mental health issues. 1:05

Lap 9: Hichan El Guerroj and Thomas Merton discussing motorcycles. 1:01

Lap 10: This final lap always ends somewhat fuzzily and apocalyptically as the sky and ground begin to merge and trumpets begin to sound. The Lion of Judah appears as I hit my fastest split and wakeup.

M.A.G.A...

For the record lap # 8 is Jasmine Bleeth of Baywatch fame. Perhaps the finest actress of her generation to be mistreated and abused by the Hollywood dream machine.

How is Bekele's running related?

Trump was probably asking K. Bekele to run for the President of Ethiopia and use the Slogan Make Ethiopia Great Again, Even though they are already great in Distance Running, but expand the greatness to the 800, 1500, and Steeple they have had occasionally very good runners at these distances like Aman in the 800, but depth is needed.
