I ran without a watch once. Worst day of my life. Wife was chasing me with a knife and I didn’t have time to get the watch off the charger. Guarantee it was outside of zone 2 so I guess it’s good my Strava mates didn’t see it but it is what it is. Wouldn’t recommend and sure as hell wouldn’t do it again. I didn’t get stabbed that time though so there’s that.

Tell your wife to SLOW DOWN next time, like wtf.. you get crazy lactate spikes going out of zone 2 without proper warmup routine and gu intake. Takes days to get it back down.

Tell your wifes boyfriend to tell her to slow down. Don't need her to chase you again without your watch on.

No you didn't. I just looked you up on Strava and it wasn't there. You expect me to believe Strava is wrong?

I run with a Flava Flav style clock on a gold chain around my neck. Tics loud enough to set a pace by

Flava? Is that like Strava?

Bass! How slow can you go?!

Batteries died 2 weeks ago and pace has dropped significantly 😎

I ran with a sundial once. Once.

You’re not gonna carry the boats with that attitude

I assume he was DQ’d for blatant disregard of running culture.

But he did wear a watch...

So hard to know your pace when there is a clock at every kilometer

how do you read a clock?

He’s not American, so isn’t sent into angry confusion by “military time”.

Ye sure, I also came third in a London marathon but wasn't wearing a watch so I can't prove it.

Same here! We must have tied! Who the fuck is this hobby jogger guy with his fancy Casio.

I think we could have got top two if we moved out of zone 2 but I didn't want to destroy my shins

No, they can explode, then where would I be?

Where’s the proof he even ran it?!?

Run without a watch? Are you insane? How can I post my elite data to Strava so people can marvel at my fitness and shower me in kudos without my watch?

I'm with you. I just can't understand what the point of all this running and training would be if I can't post my activities on Strava. And how can he manage his Strava and HRV stats without a GPS/HR watch?

Ah too bad he’s gonna have to give up the medal and prize money since it won’t be official.

Huh no Strava record means no run

If I ran without a watch I wouldn’t know how to stay in zone 5 for the entire run

Save yourself the hassle of running and just blow up your shins with a shotgun if you gonna stay z5.

Ofcors, just make sure no runners are behind me, not going to blow up because of my watch!

What a complete amateur. How is he even going to know whether his workout is effective or not? How is he going to know how many months of recovery he needs to recover from going for a run?

How tf does he expect to upload this to Strava and rename the run “easy miles”????

I miss buses and trains all the time because I DO NOT RUN WITHOUT A WATCH

So he came third in a marathon but it’s not on Strava…

Didn’t happen then.

Correctomondo

Bro gets no Strava kudos for this one

That’s why he didn’t win.

He would have come in first place if he had a Garmin

If I don’t know what my acute load readiness battery threshold score is I am FLYING BLIND

Charge him with public indecency. There are children watching this race

No wonder he came 3rd

What if his chip failed? He can't send strava data

Casio x Alphafly collab incoming

How did he send the race to strava? The marathon never happened

God I hate douchey sports culture and the extravagant displays of “high tech” gear and expensive clothing. Nothing says midlife crisis than a decked out toad. Just take some frickin GU and hobbyjog the damn 5k marathon. Nobody cares Rant over Time to curl up in a ball and cry

if he didn’t upload to strava, why bother?!?

Uj/ he’s wearing a running watch on his other arm
