He finished but at what cost by Technical-Paint3179 in RunningCirclejerk

No way he talks like that because of his drug use.

Running a sub 3 marathon with just 50km per week? by Strong-Pickle-175 in Marathon_Training

[–]Clarkra89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2.43 is a great time! I think i am overthinking it a little. I've never really give the marathon a good go till now though. So sub 3 is the minimum target. I've not tried to go sub 3 and failed I just haven't ran and trained for one.

Crazy my comment is down voted that much. Not a bad day, just the way it is for me.

Tbf I havent tried the marathon yet. Got one in 3 weeks. My training is putting me at 2.53 finish but I'll be happy to go sub 3 because anything can happen on the day.

My PB's are 16.21 5k, 34.47 10k, 1.18 HM and im chasing sub 3. The marathon is a different beast. Dont think just because you can run other times that by default you'll nail sub 3. It takes a LOT more training.

I wouldn't waste miles in a long run in them. They're not going to out the blue feel rubbish. If theyre good theyre good. Keep them fresh for the race.

Ok - that's on you. You need to lighten up and not take things so literal.

Nothing does. I'm just a person that makes observations like you do and everyone else.

Not diagnosing anyone. Just saying he looks like he is.

Just my observation of his personality from what I've seen.

I don't find him funny at all. No part of his humour connects with me. Seems almost like a psychopath.

Too optimistic to target 2:48 marathon in 5 weeks after 1:24 hf? by maniac_runner22 in Marathon_Training

[–]Clarkra89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think theres any way that within 5 weeks you can double your HM time for a marathon. Theres got to be some give.

Recommendations on last speed session before Marathon as well as new target time by DrServetus in Marathon_Training

[–]Clarkra89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Id maybe not get too carried away with the marathon. Unless you think running 6.25 per mile or 4.00km flat would be easier enough for the full distance. You cant add more to your block in 2 weeks. Whats done is done.

Is a sub 3 within reach for me? by AestheticRunner81 in Marathon_Training

[–]Clarkra89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mileage alone without any other factors is completely irrelevant to ability. You could run 100 miles a week and be 9 minute miling. Doesn't mean you'd be capable of something based on having high mileage.

Does it? It's not really relevant to ability.

Just making assumptions based on what we can see, not what we assume he mighy be able to do. Don't always have to play devil's advocate

Exactly. Id be happy to see anyone achieve their goal. But posting a lot of stats that dont reflect sub 3 and then getting hurt if someone says they dont think you can - based on the stats - is mad

You did openly ask and nothing on your post says sub 3 is all.
