Scared SHITLESS

Reading your post, "fear" is the only word I can think of to describe how I would feel in your shoes. Any time I PR or do a training run significantly faster than I used to it just scares the ever-loving shit out of me. All I can think to do when that happens is start eating lots of junk food and stop drinking water so I will slow the f*** down. nothing good can come of getting better so yes, you had better be scared. The next thing you know you'll make a conference final in college or something and then what are you gonna do? I'd crap my pants and get the hell outta there while I was still a regular-ass human! It's just a matter of time before you mutate. Ever seen the X-men movie? You'll be rejected by society and forced to go to a special school.

60.31 and 63.46 for the first 2 laps...my gawd you are an IDIOT! Im calling B.S. on this one...obviously this f***er got in oxygen debt after 800 cuz he dropped almost 10 seconds in one lap. Then "rallies" to consistently hit 75ish.....maybe if you did an 800 and went out in 43.18....hmmm

your course is not accurate.

I'm guessing the mapquest deal was screwed up. Measure the distance by car or with a wheel (if you can find one). The tell-tale sign is that you slowed down to 5:30 even though you were feeling good. Did the pace FEEL like it slowed over a minute from your first mile to your last mile?

no it is...i accidently reposted this again cause it didnt show up

but i my previous pr on that route was 23:32 but at that time it was 3.9 miles which i found out by measuring it on Runners Mapquest. And trust me the first thing i did was measure the 4 mile route AGAIN at least 10 times on Runners Mapquest, another 10 times in my car and another 10 times on my friends bike and all came out to 4 miles...

so you ran some fast times on some obviously short miles. why are you telling us this? moreover, why does this scare you? you ust be some sort of idiot.

ditto

The only problem you have is that your course was probably measured incorrectly. That's the only way I can explain running a road 4:23, off of only distance, for the first mile of a 4 miler when your pr is only 4:22...done on a track when you had probably been doing interval workouts.

How did you measure it?

go to the track right now and run a 4 mile time trial. period. dont talk until you do.

The dud will probably run 12 laps, insist it was four miles, and tell us he did 16:00 and now holds the WR.

it freaked me out cause ive never ran that fast with like ease or wutever.

And this route is legit. As i said i measured it multiple times numerous time in my car, bike and on mapquest. it all came out to 4 miles and its a dirt route..so yea im able to measure right on it.

Nah, just go to the track and tear up your mile PR.

do it do it wrote:

your not funny so dont try to be. Why would i try to lie about something like this? i have better things to do than try lying to people OVER THE INTERNET..you really are a geek and yea ill go run a 4 mile time trial right now. i have nothing to hide.

what is runner's mapquest? I want to use it.

Dudes! I just ran out to my car to get my gym bag. It had to be a mile. That's what my Garmin / Motorola Razor / Blackberry GPS Video Camera Phone w/ MP3 Player measured it at. I ran 3:40 which is a new WR. Now I'm scared!!! I might have to quit my job and hop a plane to Oslo but my wife is gonna' be pissed 'cause I promised to mow the lawn tonight. Help?!

to repeat what was asked earlier, what's runner's mapquest?

I don't know. why dont you just look it up. But if you want a kickass program you can use to measure routes among other cool features, download Google Earth. I havent used Runner's Mapquest, but I'd be willing to bet that Google Earth is better.

It's an online tool used to inaccurately measure running routes on the road. It apparently also has the ability to instill fear in anyone who uses it. Use at your own risk!

Between the hilarious posts by Reality Czech and redmeansdead and the people who completely miss when people are being sarcastic, I give this thread 6 thumbs up. Good stuff.

I assumed he was joking. i just wanted to ramble and use adult language.
