They don't have any animosity. I just can't stand Mocko and it tickles me when he gets chicked.

Fastest road marathon I see on here is around 3:15 for the marathon and 90 minutes for the half. Must be a super diesel engine on that small frame of hers.
Of she is like Sandy Vi, the "slow" runner who absolutely obliterated the U.S. Transcon record a couple of years ago.
If by living on the internet you meant did I get in my 20 miles this morning, then guilty. But I bet you did the same, right?
When Jim changed his socks his crew forgot to apply to his feet some happie-toes foot salve from squirrelsnutbutter.com. This important mistake may turn out to be Jim’s Achilles heel if he loses this year. Will he be able to run on less than optimum happy feet? Stay tuned, race fans and Expect Great Things unless you’re Scott.

I passed him in a race one time and he just started whining about how much bigger he was than me and that I had an advantage by being smaller. I wasn't sure how to respond, so I just said, "well...keep it up, man". It was really off-putting.

Thanks. Crazy how some folks just built for the long long stuff.
Courtney definitely goes against that theory posed on this thread that the fastest 5k guys will be the best ultra runners too. Maybe she would be a decent marathoner. Who know since she's never tried hard at that it seems?
Wasn't she a nordic skier though? I think I read that somewhere a while back. Similar to Scott Jurek who coincidentally is the biggest loser today per this thread.

I don't get why people carry bottles in their hands.
Strapped in on their chest would be be much less energy consuming.
WALMSLEY
Quarry Road: mile 90.7 @ 05:42pm | Elapsed time 12:42:00 | Pace 08:24
Looks like he needs an 8:12 pace to the end to break 14 hours
It's a tough last 9.5 miles on all accounts but he can do. I bet he won't be anywhere past 14:05, but he may have to drop the hammer at the end to get under 14. Definitely doable.

Which do you prefer? I can't stand anything bouncing against my body. Carrying hydration is a necessary evil and bottles are quicker to refill.
Jim has ten miles to go for the repeat. Will he break his own record? Will he change his shoes? Will a bear appear out of nowhere? Will he be thinking too much about the hills in Atlanta in February? Will he see the sign left by Scott, “Seven is Along Way from Two.” Expect Great Things....

I hate holding anything. I'm lazy like that. I also can't stand the water sloshing around strapped to my chest.
I'm a pretty minimal guy but as dorky as it is in today's era the CamelBak works just fine for me. Just a hose. Not much to even think about.
Pretty sure he'd say to Scott "say, how long did it take you to run WS, again?" Then he could go to the Aubrun in n out and take a nap and still be ahead of the Jerker's time.
according to the ultralive.net splits, Hazen still hasn't reached Quarry Road (Walmsley was there 27 minutes ago)...

For what it's worth many year's ago I took part in an experiment that had a run to exhaustion one week, and runs trying three different methods of water carrying over the next three weeks. I believe that the conclusion was that the energy costs were not much different for any of the methods. Study was at Adelphi University in NY, and a paper was published.
I love Anton Krupicka. He should totally grow dreadlocks. I wish he would come back to running and slay it like he owns Jimbo and theJerker. Even Dustin knows it. Don't expect great things...I just eat your choco cake with a diet dr. pepper.

I always go with a CamelBak when doing a long trail run. One water bottle in the hand is a no-go. Two bottles on a waist band are a no-go. Not enough water. I have been adding a couple of water bottles to in CamelBak pack I use, plus on-trail treats, for any run over 12 miles. It is better to carry extra water strapped to your back. I have given that extra water away to poorly prepared, suffering, trail runners more than I can count.

All studies demonstrate is what whoever sets them up wants to show.
That carrying weights in the hands is more tiring to the hands and arms is not a difficult concept.
Chris Mocko is ALWAYS talking about how big he is. The dude is 6'2" tops. Yes, he is big I suppose for a "distance runner." He just sucks at running like all of us here on LRC.
