None of ^^^^ sounds fun at all

training for long distance so much less pleasant than training the sprints.

on the track team at high school I made an important discovery. my best event was probably 400, but I could run 800 and 200 as well and was a servicable stand in as a long jump/triple jump guy

the first half of the season, i was in the middle distance squad running 400-600-800-1k-800-600-400 pyramids and all kind of unpleasant things.

best decision of the year was switching to the sprint squad where we'd practice our starts or do a series of 40s or 60s. Occasionally we'd do 120-150s but they were rare. Much more enjoyable...until I'd see the jumpers who seemed to spend their entire sessions measuring their run ups.

I've got the same thing with my rowing now, which I'm taking pretty seriously. to be good at 2k, you really should be doing 12-15k sessions but I just can't face it. far easier just to do short intervals and be a good 1k rower than do 50k + per week

FW- I am pretty much only fast twitch and really love training that kind o stuff. I have tried getting into more enduro stuff and just hate every second of it, so I dont do it. Although I promised that this winter we would do a bunch o skinning in order to speed fly more. SPC just seems to thrive on that kind of stuff, and in her short career sez that 95+% of the time she is having fun which seems like total bullshit to me but...

Pure aggression can run more than anyone I’ve ever met. He used to do two marathons in two days

Go SPC

my body responds ok to it, but i find all the 'long, slow' training to be mind numbingly boring. I've got some big goals for my rowing for the rest of the year and I've committed the next few months to doing more distance work (which on the erg is 40-75 mins type stuff twice a week) but the only way I can do it is with interesting podcasts or TV shows to get into a zone and take my mind off what I'm doing

He looks like a runner. He also looks like a dude that's run from the cops on more than one occasion. If they can't catch him in the first 400 meters, the cops ain't ever gonna run that dude down.

GL GL GL SPC!

I have reason to suspect that the ex Mrs. Spike is spying on my PG&C trying to catch me going south with reportable income. Probably gonna have to go dark for awhile. This makes me sad. I enjoy writing interesting HH's.

wow, savage.

My mom made a 2p2 account to troll me. What a dumb B

Nothing like reading endurance sport junkies while wolfing down my first Food City Combo Bag.

Am I supposed to eat everything that's crunchy?

Why is everything crunchy?

I can't follow all this but the kids at the local bike shop have gone gaga over some transcontinental divide race where you bike from Canada to New Mexico. PRobably not in one day.

The throwers were a frat on our joke of a track team. There all football linemen who needed a spring sport, and as luck would have it the assistant FB coach was also the throwing coach. My best friend did the shot put and I truly didn't know about it.

Hello! We were on the track team together.
What? I never saw you at practice.
We basically practiced only in the weight room.
I didn't see you at the track meet.
The throwers were on a different field.
You never road the bus.
Bubba coached us in the spring, he let us drive ourselves.

lmao Jesus Christ if true

Pour one out for VGK fan. Haven’t they been through enough?

Just post from an alt or report how much you’re losing ?

Either way, crazy that someone would do that.

good job divorcing her bro

My cousin's ex wife has been trying to get her child support to include his new wife's income. Da fuq?

The level of vengefulness seems like it would be unsustainable but I thought that 9 years ago. Definitely a good life decision to be out of that.

That specific thread is my favorite part of posting since I’ve built it over like 7 years or something. It’s not worth it if I have to be careful about what I say. Meh.

That’s never a thing. Unless different states allow it.

Yuck. Sorry you're having to deal with that, mang. Definitely sounds like a not-keeper.

I'd like to hear her side of the story before passing judgement.

was playing the pokerz yesterday and some jamoke couldn't understand how the call in system worked. had like a 10 minute 'conversation' - if you can call him mostly being loud and mildly aggressive and not listening to the floor calmly explain it multiple times a conversation - with the floor about it. couldn't understand why since he physically got in the room before some other guy, jamoke didn't get to sit down first despite the other guy getting calling ahead and showing up before a seat opened.

in jamoke's mind, since he was there first, he should be seated first, regardless of calling in - effectively making the call in list useless.

which obv prompted someone at our table to agree and tried to explain his rational that the call in list was still useful in that specific situation (it's obv not). when pressed further, he floundered more.

the level of incompetency at poker rooms never ceases to amaze me

I wouldn't expect it to be either, sounds ridiculous. I didn't find any states that allow it so not sure what her problem is.
