In fairness he's there for one thing only I'd imagine and that's his kick outs.
He's probably built for that.
Why not instead talk about Mickey Newman for Meath?

Maybe because he wasn't on sky sports, that seems to be the benchmark for open season on slagging!

Pedestrians who drift, slow down, randomly stop, walk 4 abreast, etc......was running yesterday and there was a group walking 4 abreast. They could see me coming from quite a bit away, not one person bothered to make any room for me to run past. Bike was coming up the cycle lane so had to stop to get past that, which REALLY pissed me off.

Really p1ss3s me off too dwayneshintzy.....I find though that shouting any of "ZOMBIES!" , "BOMB" or "INCOMIIIIIIIIING....." as you approach and zoom by them sometimes breaks up the pack. Even if not it cheers me up endlessly.

I was tempted to just run full pelt into the lad on the edge of the pavement, sure if he wasn't getting out of my way why should I get out of his

Happened to me yesterday runnning down the liffey, had to run onto the cobbles to get around at the last second.

Runners hogging the cycling lanes.

Stay on the footpath with the other slow f&cks

JohnDozer

Happened me last week too, group of 4/5 fellas in their late teens/ early 30's were on the footpath. I was on the road anyway so not too bothered. Then one clever dick decided to step out from behind the group to try and push me further out on the road, very deliberately so. Annoyed me so much I cracked him a nice shoulder to shoulder contact, safe in the knowledge I'd be well on my way away from them before anyone copped what happened. I don't think he'll be trying it again soon. A good example of where a GAA background can assist your running training!

And I wouldn't think twice about doing it again with people in a group who fail to give sufficient room to pass...

I wouldn't have any issues if he'd been first to say the name and gotten it wrong, I'd have just avoided mentioning for the rest of the interaction. He was so sure of himself with the condescending manner!

ThisRegard

Sock-ah-knee seems to be the correct pronunciation alright. I've previously looked for some of their ads to find how to say the bloody word, a surprising amount of them never actually say the bloody thing. I was sure it was done purposely.

I come across this a lot - I just shout "excuse me, can't stop" and keep going. They soon move when they see me hurtling at them or maybe they just take pity on me

Waiting for hours to have a banana mid-run, only for it to fall to pieces and roll in the gravel :mad:

martyboy48

Women... Same wan as before has now high tailed it. All apologetic and sad. **** right off for ****ing my head up when I didn't even want it...

Me. For for not seeing the warning signs...

Me. For my training... atrocious... Supposed to be following Meno plan for DCM but in reality, i'm not.. I'm just running out of fear/anger/stupity... Most to fast and I'm feeling fed up wrecked now.

Me. Knowing I probably wont change my ways...

Me. Drink.. Drinking a bottle wine while on two weeks hols and feeling guilty even though I know it will have a good effect ie venting anger/ slowing tomorrows run, Try and forget about that wan..

Me. Hate when I look at that thread before and now. I applaude their achievements made there but feel like ****e when I'm making marginal gains all round.

Me. Above... KNOWING IT'S ALL MY FAULT

Me. For being so laidback. Some people will think thats good, but there's a point when it seems life's passing you by...

Me. Bit of depression...... But I'll bounce back.... Again....

SeanPuddin

Jaysus Marty get the head right first and take care of yourself. If you're depressed talk to someone and worry about the running later. Progress is in the eye of the beholder.

SamforMayo

Marty sorry to hear you are having a bad time, at least you have it all said now. Regarding the wan, try not to let it wreck your head, if she was messing you around she is not worth it. Enjoy your wine unless it's bringing you down more in which case skip now. Now the running, marginal gains my arse, sub 20 5 km earned through sheer hard work and discipline. If following the plan is causing more stress then forget about the plan , just run to sort the head out. Above all let a mate know your struggling at the moment. Look after yourself.
