Thomas John Keeley Today at 15:40 Hi Ju Ju, Just after reading a post youve put up about recent ultra runs youve done, sorry bud but it upset me a wee bit which Im sure you had no intention to do to anyone since I know you. But for you to say youve done ultra runs is an insult to those of us who actually go out and do Ultra marathons which as you well know are bloody hard going. When runners say theyve done Ultras it means some sort a measured Ultra distance competition race. This Quote by yourself that youve done Ultras is very misleading to novices. As you know Ive recently only started doing these myself and know the hard work required to get fit for them and then to see someone putting up theyve done ultra runs which I know is false as Im 95% sure at some stage you stopped for photos or a chat to fellow people on the mountains. I am aware that it was an amazing distance for anyone to cover but to been honest it was a fun run which you did for your enjoyment and not an Ultra. Ultras are devoted to covering the sport of long distance running, also known as ultramarathoning. Im sure youll point out the fact SPORT is mentioned and the long distance you covered was more than a marathon but ultramarathoning cannot be dismissed. Also while Im on the subject of running you recently boasted about doing a long run on no food at all after training yourself to do this, what was that about most people doing Ultras which you wrongly associate your fun runs to do this all the time Myself as a novice do this and usually proper Ultra marathon runners only consumer energy juices or water over much greater distances. Im sure youll remove this post as soon as it goes live and been honest I would to. I will also end this rant(yes Im aware its a rant)I will de friend yourself and MSR on Facebook not for personal reasons directed at yourself but for my own sanity as I am finding some of your statements more and more annoying each time I read them. I can say in all honesty I have no bad feeling towards yourself or MSR and wish you the best for the future but (yes always a but)MSR is a fun running community which is great but in no way should be associated with a serious running club. All the best for the future TJ. PS Im sure youll point out some minor misinformation Im commenting on and thats fine but still a fun running community and I will gladly and honestly say a great community.
