What’s your P(ee)R?

out*

1:32 for what distance?

I think he may be referring to the longest he can pee, hence the P(ee) part, and that the times are increasing. Also, 1:32 seems like a reasonable time for something like that.

I'm a 1:15 man myself, so take this with a grain of salt. Prior to setting my most recent P(ee)R, I struggled to maintain pace for more than 20 seconds and would usually peter out within 30. A few record attempts resulted in me feeling completely drained after about 50 seconds, but I knew I had more to give. The key for me ending up being extreme hydration and a prolonged rest period with no workouts leading up to the race.

In spite of my preparation, I was not expecting a P(ee)R on that day. I went out way too fast, but eventually settled in for the middle section and was still able to surge at the finish. With better pacing I think I could break into the 1:2x range.

Dang dude! Pretty killer time. IMO the key is definitely to be strong enough to pace yourself in the beginning. Once you get that down it’s just having that strength to maintain that pace while at the same time keeping the pressure high enough.

I hope you accomplish your goal and break through into that 1:2x range. I’m personality hoping to get into the 1:40-50s tomorrow. Prep starts now though; Currently drinking lots of liquids so I can be in the best shape possible when I wake up.

Wish me luck LRC

If that is the case mine is a little bit over 2 minutes(forgot the exact time). I watched the top gear US version when I was around 13-14 years old. And there was a episode and that subject was brought up on one of their road trips. So, after that episode for a few weeks I would drink a bunch of water before bed to load up my bladder and time myself to see how long I could pee non stop. But, I probably have longer pee times from long road trips, but they were untimed and are unconfirmed in how long they were.

That's why they call it the PR-ostate.

The most effective strategy is to stay alive a few more decades.

Just got this bread, boys. 2:57 HT. Took an incredibale amount of strength to maintain PR pace, and once I saw that I had broken 2 I just knew it was going to be a good one.

New goal is to break 3. I’m 100% confident this is within my potential. Will update as I make more attempts.

Mine’s 1:32. Progression went 55.1, 1:00.8, then set my new p(ee)r on Friday. My plan was to get our conservative, then maintain the pace through roughly 3/4 and then have enough energy to release the beast in the final 10seconds or so.

I’m curious as to what LetsRun thinks is the most effective strategy, and what results have been yielded from said method.

This must be age-group adjusted as we seniors wee a dozen times a day not including the 4 a.m. visit.

The excruciating sprint to the men's after the bumpy plane flight circling the airport deserves another special category.

Just wrote about this the other day on my blog, had to stop twice to pee at this year's Boston and finished sub-2:55. Definitely not my PR, but definitely my P(ee)R.

It's not easy to achieve elite status.

I myself am just a hobby P(ee)R.

I have often considered what a competition in this would look like. Would it have to be continuous? How does one define continuous properly? What methods of pace control are allowed? How would one televise the competition? Could we get a documentary out of it? I feel like people would tune in for the weirdness factor.

Try it with phimosis, can destroy all your P(ee)R's. I guess it's like Semenya, can't help genetics.

I bet Parker Stinson splatters all over the seat and is done in 15 seconds. He thinks that's how Prefontaine did it.

2:37, which was set the same year as my 1000m PR.

I wonder what the greatest distance anyone has ever run is while maintaining a ratio >= 1 for bladder capacity-to-running time. In other words, if your longest pee duration is 1:30 and that's right around your 600m PR, then your "distance" would be about 600m.

Classifications:

Average -- male (400m), female (150m)

Good -- male (600m), female (200m)

Sub-elite -- male (800m), female (300m)

Elite -- male (1000m), female (400m)

This ratio definitely favors those with larger bladders more than super fast runners. Also, based on the ridiculous number of bathroom stops I have to make whenever I'm in the car with a woman, I'd be stunned if any female could make it over 400m. Has anyone else made it to the 1000m level?

1:41 after a long bus ride to a race that was going to be hot and humid. Was determined to hydrate. It paid off because I broke the 90-second barrier for the first time ever, then I won the actual race the next day.

Mine also was in that time range and similar story, after riding about 2 hours to a high school 4x8 race, I had drunk maybe a half gallon and I couldn’t hold it the extra block to the track so I told the bus driver I was going to jump off. ..I knew it was going to be my lifetime best so I timed myself to about 1:40 in the back of some diner...later that day I ran around a 2 minute leg on the 4x8, not as memorable as the piss PR though

Training videos can be difficult to come by in this event, but by replicating the technique in the attached film clips I managed to improve my P(ee)R by 40.16 sec. I found that excessive grunting in the last quarter helps to ensure that I finish with nothing left in the tank.

That’s fire.
