As much as I love you guys, I should probably step down, too.

I'm on MMM all the time and I lurk here but I feel like I don't have much to offer these days. (Although I am on W4D3 of C25K! So that's something?)

We can take first and second place tomorrow in the poll

I'm only through page 1 and this post is so full of winning! Good end to the work day!

Also for the throw back extra credit:

The Shape Up Board- Unnecessary, or necessary because the H&F ladies are so cliquish and off putting. Plus, those H&Fers only do marathons.

Not only do those H&F girls only do marathons but they talk smack about awesome cleanses, body wraps, and stuff like that.  And those things totally work.  So it's totes necessary.

I totally remember the shape up board.

Since I've never done either, can you explain the difference (no snark intended, just genuine curiosity)?  Is it mostly speed vs. just getting through it?

(sorry if that's not anywhere even close)

Sorry, I was running (lol)

From a relatively simple training perspective, there just isn't time/energy/injury resilience for the average person to run the mileage that a traditional marathon requires when you are cycling 10+ hrs/week and swimming 3+ hrs/wk. So, many IM plans top out at a lower mileage long run than a marathon plan, as well as lower weekly mileage.

And, when racing, since you aren't starting the marathon portion until over 114 miles (~6-9hrs) into the race, in the heat of the day, you can anticipate a slower, fatigued, more "hold on for dear life" marathon than a stand alone. 

There are more factors, and things vary a lot between someone like me who is a first timer with a mellow goal (just finish, primarily), vs a pro or someone looking to qualify for Kona, but these are sort of the surface, most standard reasons.

That makes a lot of sense, thank you.  And good luck!

So I've been thinking about this some more. We can move posts?? Where?! Where can we move them? Anywhere? Can someone take a thread about ass chafe or the trots, and just dump (heh, pun not intended, but I'm leaving it) it in the middle of the S&B board? Because that could be fun. If mods can a screw with people for their own shits & giggles, I could want in on this.

S&B be like - what's this marathon post, and why are these sweaty chicks posting such terrible (race) pictures of themselves!

(I joke, S&B ladies are pretty awesome).

LOL!

So board mods can only move posts within the board. I've only done it to merge two threads together.

Global mods and the admins can move posts wherever. I don't think they've done it though.

That's probably for the best. Some can handle power, some cannot. I think we can guess where I fall with that.

I also just realized that in addition to the trots, and dump, I wrote ass caffe. LOL. I corrected that to chafe, because ass caffe, followed by the trots & dump, sounds pretty gross.
