3:20 Marathon in 2017 - Take Three (Read 58 times)

    Hopefully this will be the last time I have to do this...

     

    In my continued deferral to our real leader, I offer the following:

     

    In 2013, dad said: "I put 3:20 and beyond in the title because 3:20 is more than a goal. It's a mindset and just the start. Many have used this thread's predecessors as their launching point for exploits way beyond sub 3:20. Our alumni have run multiple sub 3s and a bunch of ultras up to the WS100 Tahoe 200; we have members who are going for have gotten Moose Mugs and are going for shorter distance PRs."

    We have a few guidelines:

    - Everyone is welcome - new timers, old timers, old timers flitting through for a brief cameo, new timers flitting through for one question and then never to be seen again.  Well, everyone starts out welcome...

    - We are usually nice to each other.  When one of us needs to be taken down a notch, try to keep the throat punches down to the bare minimum required to get the job done.

    - Try to post your training on a weekly basis.  We're all here to learn from and help each other.

    Ilana likes capital letters, but we respect freedom of speech and typing style.

    - Sometimes you will see strange terms like TURD, BOTT, Botswana / Brezhnev / Biddeford / etc ... one must earn the right to ask what those things mean! Context helps, too.

    - If all you do is come to dump your training logs and ask questions but never interact with anyone else about their training/life, expect RLK to show you the door.

     

    I'll continue to maintain the 3:20 Outcasts group here, but expect to use this as the main thread. Post away!

          Or maybe this wasn't the right move. I've got nothing.

           

          The ability to start groups here is nice. But finding them can be quite a task unless you know exactly what you're looking for.
