are marathon runners the most pathetic group?
Are marathon runners the most pathetic group?
Nope they are based
You can’t even run a 5km and think you’re fit
No, I do not think so. Long distance running is what we're made for and it's quite the challange.
Yes, they are all pathetic skeletons on the verge of death
>The chad sprint
Far from the most pathetic, but they are up there. They have more discipline than you ever will though. Powerlifters are the most pathetic.
I decided to stop the faggotry of trying to look good and i'm currently training for a marathon, i now actually enjoy my training and i can totally see why people turn this into a lifestyle
Fencers are the most pathetic. For every five minutes they spend actually doing something they spend half an hour talking about TRPGs and their favorite Linux.
Long distance running can be a religious experience senpai, pusling your endurance to the limit is a very primitive and primal joy
wouldn't bigger muscles everywhere but the legs make you slower? don't see the point of those traps and biceps
This. Ran cross/track in high school but turned to lifting and getting buff in college. 4:40 mile crew. I just care about getting strong and aesthetic as fuck now but I still cherish the memories from all the good runs, runners highs, camaraderie, the PR feeling, if only I could still do that and gain muscle and explosiveness reliably, I would
Y-you take that back you meanie.
my favorite cousin fenced. you take that back you soi boy!
At least it isn't crossfit
You're the type of guy to run with your hands stuck to your hips.
It's just programming. Give any healthy weight person 2-3 months he can run a marathon.
i have never wanted anything in athletics so much that I was willing to shit myself for it so marathoners have my respect
Nah, people with your 1rm is the most pathetic.
if it's what we're made for, wouldn't it be less challenging relative to other accomplishments? shouldn't we be more impressed by people who excel and sports we WEREN'T "made for?"
Running 26 miles at less than 5 minutes per mile is pretty badass. Can any of you fags even run 1 mile in under 5 minutes?
Lmao if you think picking up 500 lbs ONE TIME is more impressive than running hard as fuck for 3 hours nonstop.
>Massive attention whores
>Tells absolutely everyone they're training for a marathon for months
>Documents progress, callused/bloody feet for everyone to see how dedicated they are
>Blocks off huge portions of major global cities so they can attention-whore for the whole day
>Recruits/guilts friends and family to stand around for hours with stupid posters to cheer them on for the 30 seconds when they come by
>Gets tons of Instagram pics+ finishing shot
>Gets stupid T-shirt so that they can continue to attention-whore even when not running
>Affixes bumper sticker to car so every stranger within a 10 foot radius will know they are to be respected and feared
It's one thing to run 26.3 miles, it's another to do it as an attention-whoring spectacle and all the associated bullshit.
I think at one point maybe one mile Sprint in around 5 minutes, but I really doubt it any more. Goals change and getting older and what not.
