The thread where people give really bad running advice!

You need to let your feet breathe while running - particularly long races. Don't wear socks - that's why there's mesh on your sneakers!
One of the best runners I ever knew never wore socks. And wore racing shoes for everything.0 -
When running in hot, humid conditions the preferred fabric is cotton. It holds your sweat, cooling you better.0
-
Your running shoes should be a half size too small. They'll weigh less and won't fall off of your feet.
THIS!0 -
:laugh: ..All the good one's are taken!0
-
Don't drink any water before or after your run.0
-
The port-a-potties at the race start will always be clean, have short lines, and have plenty of toilet paper, so don't worry about getting your dump out of the way at your hotel room.
And they'll smell like roses!0 -
If, while racing, you feel the need to shart yourself, don't stop at the nearest port-a-potty.... that feeling will pass. You'll only be wasting time.0
-
Running shoes last forever.0
-
All your workouts should be HIIT - clearly the best way increase endurance is to exclusively sprint for 20 seconds at a time...0
-
I've found that women are motivated to run faster when I slap them on the butt while passing.0
-
If you are running on a track, go in the opposite direction as everybody else. You are not a sheep.0
-
Right before your run you should eat a 12 oz. T-bone steak and a heaping of mashed potatoes all smothered in mushroom gravy.
ETA: Now I'm hungry. :frown:0 -
If you feel like you are getting injured- you should up your mileage!0
-
Even though they tell you to wear your bib, you don't really have to. You're more than just a number anyway.0
-
Run Naked. Like Pheobe from friends. Clothes\shoes are for the weak0
-
aww heck, i can't come up with a good one...
except maybe:
insist on your right of way, motorized vehicles have to learn to stop for you, whenever you cross the road.0 -
Where a back pack with a 50 pound weight in it.0
-
Do your speedwork through the ghetto at night. It's far more productive than running at the track.0
-
Be sure to bring your ipad to all your races. You'll want to stop and post updates at every mile!0
-
Women should not run. They will gain too much muscle in their thighs and calves and will look like men.0
