He's actually at home the whole time--we just don't have the heart to tell him otherwise.

It will, on the other hand, make you run home from the bar. Even if you drove to the bar.

I didn't want to believe that reddit was mostly high schoolers, but this is upvoted... Sigh.

if you run often a few miles isnt very much, 10km is less than an hour at a jog so it really isnt that big of a deal

That's a dangerous combo for heart troubles, please take care of yourself!

u/Brancher Jul 13 '15

It's a dangerous combo for crushing 5K PR's too.

Not going to be so great when you keel over halfway through a race due to a heart attack. Not talking shit, but you said you had a coke problem. That implies heavy use which will fuck your heart up no matter how much running you do. If you're training while high it's even worse as you're running your heart at max constantly.

Cocaine by itself is barely cardiotoxic. It's only when mixed with alcohol that it becomes cocethylene in vivo which is dangerously so.

u/transmogrified Jul 14 '15

Yeah but who does coke without drinking?

And you keep a victory bowl packed in the car/on the desk for when you finish

What is your PR? This is my first summer running, hit 20:52 as my best 5k so far. I'm around 47 for 10k and started training this week to run my first half in October. Hoping to do it in 1:45.

u/Brancher Jul 14 '15

In an actual race like 15:15 maybe? From the bar no clue.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '15

Christ that's quick. Fastest I've seen first hand in a race was back in May a guy put up a 15:03... Then again I didn't catch it first-hand. He would have been over a km ahead of me.

1

u/Brancher Jul 14 '15

20:52 is really fucking good for your first summer running.

6

u/Tommy2255 Jul 14 '15

Probably less dangerous than cocaine and no exercise. Cocaine and cheeseburgers, now that'll fuck up your heart.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '15

no actually, cocaine and exercise might just be worse.

u/Jive-Turkeys Jul 14 '15

No, see something doesn't quite add up here. You sound more like a cocaine user with a running problem!

cocaine problem

You mean a too-much-money problem?

I want this to be the name of your book.

u/Tbern05 Jul 14 '15

Try meth. It's more cost efficient.

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '15

Problem? Sounds like you found a great way to super charge your workouts. A girl from my old high school did this for a while. She can't have kids now but damn if she isn't hot.
