    Not far, but I just need to run faster than the person I'm with, right?

    I've run a marathon - and that was without anything chasing me. But since bears are faster, I'm going with this ^^^ luckily I never hike alone :)

    I'd wait for the bear to stand up once that happened I'd shoot in for a double leg takedown, move to side control knee it in it's side a few dozen times then give it a couple elbows to the face, lastly I'd advance to full mount and go for the KO or TKO and wait for Herb Dean to pull me off while Mike Goldberg was in the background saying "AND IT IS ALL OVER!!!" Once all that was done I'd continue on to what I was doing before lolz.

    I don't think I could bear if this situation happened.

    Certainly, it makes you paws for thought.

    Although, when this happens, my thoughts get a little fuzzy.

    I refuse to panda to you any more.

    This conversation sure turned grizzly.

    Give me a moment to think of a pun to claw back victory.

    I don't think you're koalafied to win this.

    A koala isn't a bear therefore I cannot comPooht your reply.

    I could run just fast enough for the bear to catch and eat me. I wish I could run like a 10 year old again.

    You don't have to outrun the bear, you just have to outrun the person you are out there with :)

    It doesn't really matter how far I can run, since the bear is faster. I wouldn't get very far. But if I had to run from something slower, I know I could run for at least 26.2 miles, since I've already done that in a marathon and I didn't have anything chasing me. For zombies, I could probably run further, though.

    Silly question, but I am being partially serious! :smile:

    I am training for my first full marathon on April 27th. As far as my lungs and cardio capacity go, I feel like I could run all day. My legs are what bring me down. In addition to running (obviously) I want to strengthen them significantly between now and then so they will carry me the full 26.2 miles.

    When I complain to my husband about wanting to stop or struggling with my runs...he says "If you feel like stopping, pretend like a bear is chasing you!".

    Lol.

    How far is the nearest tree?

    A bear can climb a tree faster than you can brother...

    I'm the reason my family and friends hike confidently in the Alaska wilderness. They ALL know they can outrun me.

    I would play dead. If zombies were chasing me I could run for a good 4 hours.

    It's not the distance that would make me a tasty snack for a bear, but my speed. I routinely run 3+ miles so it's reasonable to assume running for my life would propel me a bit further, say, 4+ miles. Most bears would lose interest before chasing lunch that far but since I am so slow when I jog I fear I wouldn't make it out of reach of the bear. I expect my last moments on God's green earth would be spent being mocked by a bear. I think even Winnie the Pooh could lap me.

    Just as long as I trip the other person, I should be able to gain sometime.

    No need to be a fast or distance runner. Just trip your neighbor. :)
