Are you a short..

Mescalito · 10-13-2011, 08:20 AM

or long distance runner?

Canuck Wisdom · 10-13-2011, 08:56 AM

I am alright at long distance, mediocre, but I chose short 'cause I can sprint well.

Why do you ask?

**SageTree** · 10-13-2011, 08:57 AM

Always did better in x-country than in the sprints.

The most successful 'short' race I was part of was the 800.

Neither, I'm more of a "long walks with my head in the clouds, taking plenty of time to stop and gather pockets full of acorns or take pictures of pretty flowers" type of girl.

I was asking to see if you thought it was representative of how you experience the other experiences in life..

Although I'm good at both.. short distance is my forte.

Was a big sprinter growing up, but in my latter years I've become more long-distance.

Still got that spring in my step though!

Qui-Bong Jinn · 10-13-2011, 09:42 AM

I'm more of a biker, don't jog very often. I feel like I'd perform best in short distance sprints though.

**Mafoo** · 10-13-2011, 09:43 AM

i do pretty well in both. im not the fastest sprinter around, but for my height move pretty well.

adventure · 10-13-2011, 09:47 AM

I used to be a pretty good long distance runner, I used to run 35-50 miles a week. Now with my fucked up back I can't run at all, I want to run sooo bad. I know if I could run I wouldn't want to run this bad lol

Sir-Ex · 10-13-2011, 11:00 AM

Long distance I'm okay at, but I'm definitely better at sprinting.

Lloydy · 10-13-2011, 11:04 AM

Im abysmal at both, I'm more of a bike kind of bloke. Running is dull.

farmergiles · 10-13-2011, 11:10 AM

Sprinting or long distance I can do, for some reason I'm rubbish at medium distances.

Jester4yall · 10-13-2011, 11:12 AM

I don't run but jog 2miles almost daily. me gf too :P

Sir-Ex · 10-13-2011, 11:14 AM

Funny, my experience with running usually involves women too. Sprinting anyway.

The Rev · 10-13-2011, 12:44 PM

When I ran, it was long distance. Now, I consider running to the bathroom to be at the zenith of my achievement range.

Canuck Wisdom · 10-13-2011, 12:48 PM

lol

Canuck Wisdom · 10-13-2011, 12:52 PM

One time I was challenged to a 100 meter race by a much shorter guy. I knew he would be fit, but I laughed at his challenge because I thought I would dominate a guy almost a foot shorter than me. I was in peak physical fitness at the time, like really good.

So we go outside to do this one night, and start the race and he pulls way out ahead of me! I was alarmed frankly, but it must just be the mechanics of our bodies, because it took about 20-30 meters, but before long I was not only pulling ahead but way ahead.

So, obvious lesson learned, small guys can be quicker to get going, but taller stronger guy is going to have higher speed potential once geared up.

fenderbender · 10-13-2011, 02:03 PM

lol just like two hours ago i ran for the first time in quite a while.

I got out of my car with 2 mins to spare before a quiz, and had to run about 100 meters or so up a hill and up stairs.

that combined with quitting smoking this week...

man, i almost died.

Edit: Ive always been one to take my sweet ass time walking to where i need to be. pickin up acorns like AL lol.

Just the other day while casually walking to class, i bent down to pick something up and wound up face to face with a large groundhog no more than 3 feet away from me. We had an EPIC staring contest until some fast walking douches scared him away by walking by.

Stanton Peedman · 10-13-2011, 10:49 PM

I can sprint the shit out of.. something

gotta be in my bare feet though
