It only counts if it's on Strava. So if your coach tells you to take a rest day and you accidentally run 12 miles at tempo pace, just don't post it and you'll be fine

New idea for a sticker! Guaranteed to drive your runner / triathlete friends absolutely bonkers! #running #marathons #triathlon #psyops
Oval sticker which reads "37.4", and then says "This is a random number, I'm just messing with you" in small print

Every year about this time I think I might want to take up running. Then I say to myself, "That's not even a good April Fools joke."

#running #garmin #TrainingStatus #PerfectlyLogical
Garmin Training Status Unproductive: You ran an easy 6-miler Strained: Didn't sync your activity correctly Detraining: You crushed a 20-miler Productive: Not used Peaking: You are home sick in bed

Cyclists: If your ride ends at 26.2 miles, make sure to round up to 27 so you don't get mistaken for a runner on Strava

Don't forget to download your Strava 352 days in sport today. Tomorrow all you can get is a boring 353 days in sport.

Some estimates suggest that as many as 90% of triathletes are killed in shark attacks

Running one marathon probably won't kill you -- but why take the chance?

Running in the rain puts hair on your chest -- so be careful out there, ladies!

Every ounce of shoe weight slows you by 2 seconds/mile. So train wearing lead boots and you will *fly* on race day!

It pays to use a good training plan. I've heard elite athletes find their plans by searching on Pinterest

Racing etiquette: Make sure your headphones are loud enough for the other runners around you to hear

A study says running more than 4 hours a week is counterproductive. If more Olympians took that advice we'd see a LOT of world records!

Black running outfits are slimming. I especially recommend them for night runs!

Losing weight is easy when you follow the latest fad diet. A little lipo never hurt either!

Tips for chatting with runners: You can never go wrong with "You ran 6 miles? What are you, Forrest Gump?"

What working person has time to train an hour every day for a marathon? Also did you see Fallon last night? Hilarious!

When skipping an out-and-back segment of a race, use the time you save to work on your "How *dare* you accuse me of cheating!" stare

... but please DO NOT post toenail photos! #running #trailrunning #shoes #toenails #havesomedecency
If your toenails haven't yet fallen off, you probably need your running shoes refitted

When you run in the snow it's not really exercise. People who do it are just showing off.

Swimming more than 3000 meters is so dangerous that no human has ever gone that far
