In most cases and in both situations, there are some really pleasant people out there. However, there are a few that run three abreast, don't return greetings, or are know it alls when it comes to working out.
So, in the locker room (it's a small area at our company) I see someone and greet him and ask him about his work out. He is uninterested in conversation, so I respect his privacy, but soon he starts talking. We talk about running and I mention that I had run the previous day in the rain and he commences to lecture me about how I should not run everyday. I mean, really talking down to me, you know, a "know it all".
"I guess you are just starting to run to get ready for the spring half marathon." he says, as if to complain that I am a fair weather athlete. I think he thinks this is my first rodeo.
"No," I respond, "I've been doing this for years. In fact, I've been running everyday all winter; snow and ice and all." I went on to explain that I compete in mud runs and how I need to run everyday possible (I do take 1-2 days off) and mix it up with pull ups, rope climbs, and etc.
That kind of took the wind out of his sails.
The I asked him, "how is one to increase mileage beyond 25 miles per week if they don't run everyday?"
He responded that I should run three times per week; two long runs and a short run of 6 miles.
To each his own brah...
Anyway, on to the workout...
Run 4.1 miles
100 pull ups in as few sets as possible
Monkey bar routine of any kind (hand and move)
Keep up the good work and don't let the other get to you (unless it motivates you to crush them on the course)...
