Stretch Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 Perhaps rather than looking exclusively at numbers and hoping they will come true over an extended period, note that Mr Toby did two full Everests a year in advance starting at 12 hours, then 9 hours, both in one month, and then a year later set the record.Kipchoge, the greatest marathon runner of all time, won 10 major world marathons before breaking the record Skylark, Duane_Bosch and Vetplant 3

Never mentioned whether 'Toby' didn't complete a whole bunch before his first one. Because I didn't see any record in the public sphere, although I am sure if I searched Strava I would find some. Look, you can take a horse to water, but you can't hold it's head under and hope it doesn't die of thirst...
Mamil Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 I think this is sage advice. And I usually ignore Thor's advice and then hurt. As in ... do more of the shorter trailseekers before you do the marathon....

Patchelicious Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 Kind of maker me think of those “I’m going to lose so much weight” threads. The moment you feel the need to tell somebody, you are probably doing it it for the wrong reasons and therefore more likely to fail. Jewbacca and BaGearA 2

Not to be confused with 'Herbie goes bananas' which is about the dagga thread.

Also, back pats and you're so cools for people who say they are going to do something. It's the same as the youth (18-30) deciding not to vote 'in protest'. They are so deluded that their 'audience' cares that they believe saying something is the same as doing something. Go and vote, go and FINISH something, maybe do something without having to tell other people. Maybe do it and THEN tell people you did it. So much fake nonsense ego stroking and back slapping binary love is just ruining people. Patchelicious, Grease_Monkey, Duane_Bosch and 3 others 6

Sure, there are some entertaining Youtube channels and Instagram accounts where people are putting loads of work in, but most of it is just a load of rubbish.

Mamil Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers. Supposed to have been attributed to socrates by plato ... around about 150 BC. BigDL and Skylark 2
