Searched for it, didn't find it, and only then figured you must be joking
No joke! It's the top thread in the Running 101 forum. Basically a guy is trying to go from couch to sub-4:00 mile. But, he is willing to work really hard!
<3
lol - It's there. I haven't opened it though.
He is willing to lose weight even, although currently 5’8”, 209 lb. Seriously. Gotta believe it’s a troll, but he stays alive because people keep feeding him.

I just read through it. It's actually constructive advice there (ok, a normal thread IMO), as opposed to lots of venom in the marathon training thread.
And he is also willing to train 8 hours a day. But there was a time in my life when I would have had 8 hours per day to put on training. I was putting it on booze and guitar playing instead, lol.
True but not for the OP. He mainly just needs to get on a C25k program, drop a bunch of weight, and check back in after a few months to see how that’s going. If he’s for real.

80-90 pounds...doable.
One thing I was going to post was to suggest he take 7 of those hours and do volunteer work for charitable organizations, and leave 1 hour for training.
I think a sub-20 5K would be a very noble pursuit. Going from his current 11:30 pace down to a 6:27 pace will require a LOT of work in itself.
I think me finally getting off my ass and going for a run right now would be a noble pursuit.
I have another call with that guy today.
Spoke to the guy. He's got nothing new for me, but was wondering if I have any openings in my department that I might need help filling. These guys have no shame.
Tell him if he does his job, there will be one

Hahahaha! Best one today, and I've read the marathon thread!
What'd you make of BRs post? The one that got censored with all the swear words?
"Opinions are like farts. We all have them. They all stink. Feel free to fuck RIGHT the fuck off back to wherever the fuck it is you came from and drown your sorrows into your favorite light American lager."
Dude went straight up east side on that one. lol
And you can't call running jogging?? Gasp I do it all the time. A jog to me is an easy run with no particular target or purpose and usually slow. Oops!
