So yeah, long distance running requires athleticism. Not sure wtf you think athleticism means. I think athleticism is something that's hard to measure. IMO, guys who pick up a variety of athletic activities and easily excel in them are athletic. Guys who are explosive, strong, and have a lot of endurance are athletic.

So anyone whose ever participated in any kind of sport is athletic? For me, it doesn't matter how well someone excels when they first pick it up. I'd rather look at the people who excel at the elite level than at the beginner level.

Even though we've both put in the same amount of work for the same amount of time, the fact that I may be more athletic than them has helped me to leave them in the dust.

This article written by athletes agrees with me. http://www.endzoneathletics.com/content/view/35/66/ "First, we must understand exactly how we define athleticism and skill before we can discuss how they relate to each other or how to work towards improving them. Athleticism can be defined as, "the ability to use a variety of motor abilities (strength, power, speed, agility, coordination, stability, balance, etc.) to effectively and efficiently perform a wide variety of sporting actions." Less complicated than it sounds, this definition simply means that being a great athlete requires possessing a variety of athletic qualities (motor abilities) and being able to use them effectively to perform sporting actions. Although specific "sporting actions" are different for each particular sport, most sports also have many common sporting actions required such as sprinting, changing direction, and jumping. The difference between an average athlete and a great athlete is the ability to perform these things effectively, efficiently, and consistently. " See how easy that was?

@NonY - what were you're PRs in 800/1500? And I'm agreeing with the people who are defending distance running - I did cross-country for 4 years in high school (would've run in college but the coach was a blubbering idiot), made the state meet my senior year. So much involved in that. Plus the mental edge to things too, makes it even more difficult. | ||

Its all i do! i love going to the gym, and every time i walk out it feels like i am going to puke lol Yeah crossfit is good stuff man. The local CF place lets us train there for free as long as we put CF logos on our shirts and banners. It's awesome. Kettlebells, battling ropes, tractor tires, rowing machines, chains, sleds, medicine balls. Love it. | ||

I also compete at a rather high level at orienteering and I do cyclosportive races when it comes to cycling. Would be interesting to find members that are better than me in those sports. Anyway I wont post any pictures due to skinnyness. | ||

Was it you that took out a girl on a date and went cc skiing? If not there are one more of us. I'm not good but I am very serious in my commitment to skiing. I normaly place last among the serious skiiers in normal competitions and above the more for fun people. I'm not holding a FIS code this season tho since I wont compete internationally or in bigger competitions. | ||
