When Hyrox’ing has gone too far. Let me know in the comments whether there is scientific evidence that proves that covering your skin in shit improves a runner’s cold tolerance, since we’re now entering winter.

I’m still deciding on shitting myself instead of buying Puma gear, because those losers refused to make brown pants or shorts. They tried to distance themselves, but imma boycott them until they’ve got thermal poo-ware.

I’m on a cruise with my girlfriend’s family. It is barely a vacation as I’m tapering for the 2029 Berlin marathon and am using the running track to train.

Because of the altitude (the track is on deck 5 which is high up), I was fueling frequently. I was on my first lap and my 6th GU when a hobby jogger family crossed the track.

My heart rate was 112 bpm so I couldn’t change course or slow down. My mouth was full of GU so all I said was “MMRAAHHH”. At the last second, I swallowed and managed to yell “TRACK” but it was too late. I hit the kid at 4 mph. I tried to hurdle him (I did steeple chase in middle school) but accidentally kicked him in the face.

I said sorry and tossed a GU his way as an apology (key lime pie). I kept running and finished the lap in zone 3 because of the adrenaline. The captain (clearly a NARP) said I was reckless. This guy doesn’t understand the makings of a sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub elite marathoner.

AITA?

But more importantly, is my training session ruined because I went into zone 3?

stopped because he left zone 2. Bloody tourists/c***ist

OP clarified they only get water after running TWO 5k ultras.

No one seemed to mention how insulting it is to real runners to have a portapotty present

US govt sending out more DANGEROUS information. What's next, boofing bleach before my run??

Typical Tr*"athlete" attempting the 5k ultra...
