race report: Scotland Run 10 km

  • Thread starter Charlie Pendejo
  • Start date



wow, had no idea of that robust race activity over there in NJ. neat
site but found it very odd/strange that they don't list the NJ Marathon
at the end of this month. Very odd to omit that race of all races.

on the slide show on the home page is one of your GNY teammates.

So if you got in does that mean he is bad and has slots open? ;) Doesn't
say much for Glover whose book I still think has great basic knowledge.

Why do you always bring up this BMI ****? f you're overweight, that's
your choice. But don't wear it as a badge of honor. Your race results
are just that *your* results. A result of your training, including your
exessive caloric intake. A runner will have a difficult time overcoming
a genetic flaw, but being overweight is simply a lack of willpower.
Unless, of course, you're solid muscle. I've seen your pix, so this is
not the case.

i'll answer you. charles in this thread said he's back down to 145
..lb. i've met him in real life and as i recall he's about 5' 8" which
would mean his bmi is 22. if i had a bmi of 22 i would be kicking
donovan's ass on a regular basis despite being 11 year older than
me...hahahahaha.

but tkb, why do you care? can you answer that...why does it bother
you? in this thread dan stumpus made note and in doing so highlighted
& pointed it out as an honor that a 5'9" 220 .lb runner finished
badwater. that's a bmi of 32.5 when obese is a bmi of 30 and above.
dan stumpus made note of this as an achievement, or as a "badge of
honor" for that runner.

note you tkb did not admonish dan stumpus as you have me. why is
that? is that he's wwwwwwwhite? i am serious. what is it in you
tkb that takes time out to say to me what you have.....yet you don't
say to dan stumpus who's essentially done exactly what you're
admonishing me for? care to answer that question? i answered
yours....can you demonstrate some consistency here? i'm not suggesting
you're a racist, i though know you don't like it when a NEGRO rips on a
WHITE man. LOL.

> being overweight is simply a lack of willpower.

this statement of yours illustrates profound ignorance. does your
house have wheels? He's a quote from the CDC (center of disease
control) "Science shows that genetics plays a role in obesity. Genes
can directly cause obesity in disorders such as Bardet-Biedl syndrome
and Prader-Willi syndrome." I could go one and further illustrate how
profoundly wrong you are in your statement but imo it's common
knowledge that the genetic pool is not an even playing field.

In sum, life, genetics, & racing is not fare. What's your BMI TKB?
size and weight? Can you answer that question? You sound like a very
ignorant person imo that's never had a challenge and assume everyone is
equally able. I suspect you fall within perferred parameters and not
challenged. I know runners that have asthma and every race of any
distance is a battle. genetics and disease create uneven playing
fields.....we just deal with it as runners. but that does not mean we
can't take time out to note the "scale of measure" is not just, valid,
and fair. that's all i've done tkb, take time out to note the scale.

you seem disturbed that i frame content into perspective.

You are one of a very few that has ever in my thirteen years here ever
brought up BMI even though many have limitations. Lose the weight and get
your fat ass moving.

My point was that running doesn't cause weight loss -- no matter how much
you run, if you eat more calories than you need, you'll gain weight, and
vice versa...

Although, for the record, I do respect that heavier runners are doing it the
hard way -- like my talented friend who wears a 30 lb weight vest when he
hikes the 10,000' peaks with his less fit daughters.

If you want a data point from a guy who knows how to run, I ran with an
acquaintance the other day who could run 2:18 and 29:11 when he weighed 115
(he's about 5'3"), and now at 140# his best is "only" 2:32 and 32:xx. It
does make a difference. (I could stay with his easy pace on flats & downs,
but no way on the climbs -- he was kind enough to slow down).

Yawn. Anyone that finishes Badwater regardless of their weight deserves
a badge of honor. That's one MF of a feat. Maybe, just maybe, one day
your over-simplified ego will consider BMI like shoe size or color of
your hair. You're always trying attempting to justify why you under
achieve with WAVA or BMI or some other superficial parameter. Isn't it
time you strop beating this dead horse.

There is nothing more undignified than a person of color always playing
the color card be it real or jest. It makes you look racist and very
short on self esteem. Feel the need to prove yourself at every bend in
the road.

And we could on to show that your cherry picked rare syndromes do exist
but the VAST majority of the world eats more calories then the expend.
So how many fat people were there in the German prison camps? I think
it's safe to say that everyone was rather thin. While this is an example
in the extreme, it does show that limiting calories will make you
thinner genetics be damed. Maybe you need to visit a fat farm where they
control your eating and at least remove the adipose. If you still lack
self control you have your stomach stapled.


I'll be gone for two weeks so I probably won't be able to continue
discussing your chubbiness. I have a feat to perform on Saturday and
then to bask on the beach so we at least look like brothers when I
retrurn. Here I am trying to get darker and you call me a racist. :)

not the point doug. TKB is 100% wrong when she says people either
choose to be overweight or don't have will power. can you speak to
that doug ? or will doing so support my characterization of TKB being
very ignorant? oh yes, white privilege.. support the white person
whether they are right or wroing.

there is a myriad of well documented evidence out their illustrating
TKB is 100% wrong, so much so it's silly to suggest otherwise....and
you know that doug. but you can't tell TKB her statement is
appreciably off base...can you? why?

According to TKB, Dan Stumpus' friend with a BMI of 32.5 either is
choosing to be well into the obese scale or does not have enough will
power to lose weight. okay, he finished badwater so we know "will
power" is not the issue. so according to TKB mentaility, he's
choosiing to be Obese (and in the process risk all the issues that come
with that). I highly doubt that's the case. There is a myriad of
factors that give rise to people being overweight, TKB is simply,
profoundly uninformed.

Kind of reminds me of James Frey, author of "A Million Little Pieces".
In his book he said recovery was simply a matter of "will power".
Of course professionals in the field disputed this from day one....and
in time the public learned he was a crock of ****. Perhaps TKB, in
time, will learn she too is wrong.

Right now, I can't say I'm too worried (about you losing the weight or beating me)

So what ? Finishing badwater is an achievement in itself *regardless* of weight.

Anyway, you sound like a crybaby when you keep bringing up BMI. Lose it and get
faster, or keep it and run slowly. But either way, it's your choice, so stop whining
about it.

Doug, good luck at Bull Run! I assume you're in max taper mode right
now? I'm a week behind you. Doing a 50-miler on the 15th. ;-)

Though it's coming off slowly, I've still got a 15+ pound natural weight
belt ;) Good for training purposes I figure -- if I get it off in time for
my target race. If my body doesn't break down from the extra weight, it
will make my legs support muscles/tendons/ligaments stronger.

well i am 11 yrs older than you so no, i don't expect i will be beating
you on time. WAVA tables? Yes, that will happen again as it did last
year when i was 42. hahahahahahaha. haven't raced in 6 months, got
plenty of rust to shed and need to get back in shape. give me to
June...and if i join Westchester, oh ****, the rich get richer
hahahahaha.

Well, that's looking on the bright side, isn't it? :)

Hang tough. Maybe you'll be flying over those trails yet!

Good luck to you both. We expect full reports.

You can count on it from me. Doug, on the other hand, may require coaxing.

Running, in particular serious training, can hinder weight loss,
because it encourages the individual to take in carbohydrate calories.
It's easy to err on the side of excess, because when you don't take in
enough, it detrimentally affects your training. The extra carbohydrates
you take in can keep your fat level high enough so that you are not
able to get properly shredded.

That's what I struggle with: going from great definition to that
razor-sharp rip. I've never been able to get down to less than 7 mm of
skinfold in the central abdomen. When I did that, my running suffered.

What you can do is cycle the carb intake so you have it available for
the key workouts of the week. For me, that would be the 20 miler, and
the track workout. If the running is going to suck from dieting, let it
be the base miles.

How so ?

But it's easy to err on the side of excess anyway.

Hasn't been a problem for me.

But seriously, 7mm isn't exactly bad anyway. Unless you're entering a
bodybuilding contest, why would you need it lower than that ?

Well OK, but if you're running substantial mileage, say 50 or more, you
really do need quite a lot of calories anyway, and you probably don't
need the Atkins diet or similar.

I find that if I run more (at easy pace) and pig out, I can *gain* weight.

On the other hand, if I train hard (3 hard days/week, for instance), that
seems to suppress my appetite on the hard days, and can lose weight fairly
easily. I usually try to eat more the day before my next hard day.

I'm about 5.6% body fat according to some on-line calculator, with about
12mm skinfold there (28.5 waist), and no washboard abs, just a hint if the
light is right and I cough. I've never felt that my non-washboard abs
hindered my running...when I was younger and 12 lbs lighter, I didn't have
them either.
