What does Jow Forums think of ultra endurance athletes? Ironmen, Ultra marathon runners and the like

>race baited

Well we can always just stop feeding them? How about bombing them until none left? Perhaps, eugenics and picking out Whites with the best traits and training them to win?

We can do what we want, you little cuck faggot.

>gods
Get the fuck out of here.

It's an hyperbole. Sub-saharians (niggers) on a different league when it comes to Marathons.

All endurance sports except tour cycling are incel

Almost as if different groups excel at different things in subtle ways. We should throw some kenyans into a olympic pool & time them to test out his godhood stance. Hmm.

I'm a somewhat successful marathoner (2:50) off of minimal training and a very successful 5k runner (15:40) off of serious training. I will give you my perspective in terms of how normies rate my performances.

First, know that anyone who can run a 15:40 can run a sub 3:00 marathon. Most could do it in practice as a particularly hard long run. As a 15:40 guy I was a back ender on a D1 team, but that is still pretty fast, and it was the culmination of years of training and dedication. The marathon I ran was a half-assed effort at training while working and raising a family and I'm proud of it but in terms of accomplishments it is not in the same conversation as my 5k time in terms of relative ability.

When I tell non-runners that I ran a 15:40 5k, they may raise their eyebrows, "wow user, that's pretty fast." Usually I just get a blank stare, a nod, and a "cool." No enthusiasm, no surprise, no sense that they're impressed. When I tell them that I've run a sub 3 hour marathon, you'd think I'm a white Kenyan or some shit. "Oh my God user, that's amazing! I can't even imagine, that's so fast, holy shit!" It's incredible how little perspective they have.

Ultra endurance athletes can do one thing really well; output energy with depleted glycogen stores. You can see how well someone does that with a marathon or any equivalent 1.5 to 2+ hour event. Anything beyond that is just a more damaging test of the same thing.

They'd probably excel at it as well given the right circumstances. Cardiovascular endurance is cardiovascular endurance. I doubt any race is biologically specialized in swimming.
And it's not just endurance (although the gap is more striking there). They're obviously good at sprinting, and blacks currently hold all the IPF RAW records.
Whites built western civilization, but blacks have an edge when it comes to sports. You can hide in minoritary sports all you want, it won't change the fact.

>*meds built western Civilization
Nordcucks didn't build shit.

Isn't this literally the same as Jow Forumsizens except instead of big weight it's long distance?

kenyans are nothing compared to peruvian porters

The mindset of it is immense, As well as getting your body to the point of coasting on a higher than baseline amount of activity, just keep plodding along through water and open ground.

Also it's white culture

>blacks currently hold all the IPF RAW records
No they don't unless you're talking about the 120kg+ class.

The only class that matters. There's a bench record pending by an Algerian, but the point stands.

It's incredible but it doesn't appeal to me at all. Doing that shit burns too many gains. I have no interest in running a marathon after doing a shitload of swimming and cycling.

I'm quite interested in sprint triathlons though. I'd rather do a sprint really fast than "complete" an ironman

>The only class that matters
Kek if you say so.

>blacks currently hold all the IPF RAW records.
Is this true? I really don't know anything about IPF RAW stuff. I just know that World's Strongest Man winners are overwhelmingly white for whatever reason.

I recently got into trail ultra marathons, they are brutal and require lots of mental toughness to get through.

Heh faggot. I run ultra marathons and I get tons of ladies.

Too type A for me but there are worse things for people to do

Marathoners with dried out roasties most likely.

I’d like to see one do the Moab 140 in good time. I don’t doubt that on average they’re more advanced but they rarely compete at the highest level.

They always have some weird beady eyed look to them even more so than pic related. I don't know why. They're faces are always so strange to me. I feel like it changes your face

It’s the look of anguish

Maybe there's not as much money in it (elites don't run as a hobby). They don't have many athletism tracks or good foot paths and in Africa, those niggers probably know how to move around rocks and under the Sun much much better tan anyone born North of the Mediterranean.

We do exactly the same.

I think doing anything that makes you frail and weak is stupid.

wrong

triahtlets are the worst.
They don't even realize how obnoxious they are. They think they are good and running, cycling and swimming but in fact they're bad at all three things, which btw. is the reason why they're doing triathlon.

Marathon is cool, Ultramarathon kinda gay though. It's like: "Oh you can run marathon in 3h, but i ran a double marathon in 9h get on my level"

Wut?

Plenty of elites are marathoners or do runs of some kind. Especially boomers.

Check the boxes:
*Involves being fit (but not enormous)
*Competitive but no so competitive you have to be super good to do it ok
*Lets you show off in public
* But it's for charity so it looks like you aren't just an attention whore

One of my friends is a marathon runner, and he competes and wins several in my state. Almost sub 5 minute mile pace as well, he loves it.

But he's a 120 pounds. I wouldn't want amazing endurance and speed at the cost of being skeleton.

A lot of people do shit that results in bodies I wouldn't want though. I don't want to be fat but I still like to watch sumo wrestling a couple times a year.

I meant elite Marathoners don't do it for free.
You won't catch these guys at a race where the entry fee is higher than the prize. Their job is going around the world winning races, they do this for a living.

My mom did the Kona Ironman twice and loved it both times. I'm a recovering fat person and for her birthday I'm going to surprise her by signing myself up for a marathon. Funnily enough my mom is so health and fitness oriented she kinda lives in her own little bubble and I tried explaining to her what HAES was and she couldn't understand the premise of "fat people refuse to believe medical science is fact"

>for her birthday I'm going to surprise her by signing myself up for a marathon

wow, such effort

I'm the last of 4 kids to get off my ass and get fit and like I said, my mom lives in this health and fitness bubble, she's absolutely ecstatic that I'm actively working out and watching what I eat. I figure completing a marathon would be some sort of catharsis for her, that her youngest son is turning his health around

then complete the marathon first

fucking faggots lmao

>thinks being fit is only lifting weights

kys

>thinks anyone here cares about "fitness" and "helath"
>thinks running marathons is healthy

I did cross country and track at ages 13-14. It was fun. Not sure if it helped me develop at all though. I'm not tall and I don't have a big dick.

>I see no value in things having epic names
Sad

>what is functional strength

I'd rather be a gymnast than a marathoner. One is strong but also has massive stamina. The other has massive stamina but can barely do a push up.

>i'd rather be cooked up in a gym than outside
Sad

Is that a bait?

Literally a meme. You must be new if you didn't know this.

Waste of time and energy, and only does damage to your health. Why? because you first of all permanently damage your joints and also have a higly risk of getting killed by a sudden heart attack. Training for something else like explosiveness, strenght, and fighting would be 10x better because its actually useful XD

>used to run ultras
>completed 4 50 milers and 6 50k's
>placed well in my age group, won a 50k group once
I was a skelly faggot; thots in the club give zero shits about your negative splits or hydration plan. Just lift brahs.

A stupid way to ruin your body for self-congratulary gains

I mean, that's their sport and they build bodies tuned to that purpose. If your goal is to be a competitive endurance athlete I don't expect you to cultivate the build of a powerlifter. Similarly, I don't expect an olympic swimmer to train the same way a defensive lineman does.

>Ironman is a fucking circle jerk. They live their life with only the next competition in mind, talk only about triathlons, equipment, training, other athletes of whom they know their whole life story and, of course, get injured regularly.

Bodybuilding is a fucking circle jerk. They live their life with only the next competition in mind, talk only about aesthetics, supplements, training, other bodybuilders of whom they know their whole life story, and, of course, get injured regularly.

If you think endurance training is comparable to bodybuilding you are a complete moron. Any competitive triathlon fag, even at the lowest level, trains more hours than an Olympic weightlifter or a Mr Olympia.

Tryhard shit for 30-somethings.

more impressed with a perfect marine pst.

If your life really only consists of lifting weights and talking about it, unless it's your job, you should reconsider your life choices
