Come on if you really wanna get those lungs open, either smoke european marlboro's (really crappy tobacco and worse filter) or a pack of cloves...watch ur times go to hell
...or better yet don't even freakin start smokin! take it from some who smoked for 3 years....not fun when u can't breath after runnin 20 min
...f*** all the advice about smokin an running, just don't do it an u'll do fine
All you haters can burn
is it possible? does anyone know of anyone that has run exceptionally fast times why smoking cigarettes? i've heard rumors of runners in the 70's smoking other subtances and running fast times, but what about cigarettes?
Are you a troll, a moron, or both?
i hate smokers but i do know that eddie mercxx used to smoke ciggaretes before races to calm his nerves. he seemed to race well enough while being a smoker.
I was on a team with a guy who smoked a pack or two on weekends and probably a lot more during the week, he also smoked a lot of weed..this guy ran a 49 400, and a 1:53 800 somehow.
I'd guess he used his legs, no?
Thierry Watrice managed a 2H12 'thon, and he was a smoker...
I ran 2H24, while still smoking a pack a day...

Impressive and inspiring to all the youngsters.
Pretty sure that Herb Elliott was a smoker and I think Peter Snell worked for a cigarette company back in the day (though I've never heard that he smoked them).
it opens up your lungs and allows more oxygen into your blood stream. smoking all the time might be bad but having a couple in the 20 minutes leading up to the race is probably a good thing. i would suggest smoking marlboro lights (gold and white pack) for any of you youngsters who are new to smoking and want to run some big PR's. after a few races with the lights you can move up to the regular marlboros (red pack). come back on and post your new PR's after you try it!
Wow! Great advice. I prefer Camels, do you think those will work just as well?
Willie Davenport was a smoker. Olympic hurdler.
