[gravitylover]

Lol

What's up Steve. Nice to see ya back here

[ötzi]

Maybe it's just me but if I was still trying to lose weight after 3600 straight days of running I might try something else.

[steve]

oh I'm long past the point where running helps with weight loss
and i never had the delusion that running ultras is healthy
i run for fun

eating is out of control

[Danno]

Maybe it wouldn't happen if you used a name like ötzi and not your real name. Oh, wait, shit...

Cigarettes and coffee?

[Cruiser]

Holy shnikeys! 3600 straight days off running?!? That's commitment!

What % of those runs have been outside vs treadmill? What's the average distance or time you usually do each day or does it vary widely based on what you've got going on?

Pizza Moose???

Induce vomiting, and that there is “the supermodel diet”

since mid 2016 less than 1% (no regular access to a treadmill)
before that maybe one run in three was on a treadmill

my average daily 4.4 miles but there are plenty of 1 and 2 mile runs in there.

Pizza Moose???

ahoy!
god damn I haven't used either of those names in forever

Word. And as you get older you need to improve your diet to maintain the same weight. It's fucking irritating.

Try cryptosporidium. I lost about 20 lbs in 2 weeks.

fucking irritating is right.

If 25yo me ate and exercised like 52yo me does, 25yo me would be in fantastic shape. But 52yo me is still a regular fatass.

Try cryptosporidium. I lost about 20 lbs in 2 weeks.

the most fun part of this strategy is maintaining the running streak
(i suppose i'll run faster)

[St. Jerry]

The internwebz never forget....

[muted]

my FIL had a twenty + year running streak. Broke it because of eye surgery for a day. 1 year is kinda amazing to me, nice work steve

So true. Did not realize this was going to be a thing. I never expected to keep my 18 year old metabolism my whole life, but I did kind of think that once I settled into my 30s that was going to be the state of things most of the way home. Then my 40s gave me a wakeup call :-(

[steve]

Postscript. Here's the kid, sitting at my desk, looking at this post
The funniest part to him is the tagline under my name (retard)
go figure

[hutash]

With cryptosporidium, a running streak is a common symptom.

Just hope to god it doesn't last ten years.

Hi, Steve.
Don't you ever feel the urge to stretch your legs under your desk ?

[smartyiak]

Hey Steve,

Got any good 10,000k, 10 ultra training plans? Asking for a friend.
