Or women's soccer.
I myself have been diagnosed with Rhabdomyolysis and yes i have the same problem with finishing races like shown by Tauro, i have ran races and felt great and all of a sudden that last lap of 70 went to 80 and my body is shutting down completely, then the next lap is a 90 and people are passing by you and you can't get your legs to go anywhere but slower.I have had to dnf in a few races because of my legs not working. I watched her run last fall at XC regionals and felt so bad because I have been there and done that. I was also out at USA T&F championships when she barely finished the 1500. It is the most frustrating and depressing experience. For all of you people out there that think she is just a drama queen or that she has a mental barrier you can go to hell. The reason why i was told that body shuts down at the end is because that is when you are expecting the most out of it. from the beginning of the race on while racing one will run patient and conserve to a certain extent but once that last lap or last few laps come around you start pushing harder and harder. And that is when the Rahbdo kicks in. And really there is nothing a runner can do about it. Obviously these are extreme cases of it but like I said I have had the same final straight away stagger so she is not the only one.
I realize that I am not as good as Tauro but I train very hard and some races it doesn't happen but it def happens more often in the races that I am giving the most out like post season races. It is hard to go into a race knowing if you push your body as hard as everyone else that you may not finish. I have tried so many different training strategies and the same result comes at the end of the season. It is how my body is made, and yes i've got the warnings about death and kidney failure. But I could not live with knowing that I didn't keep trying. Hopefully someday she finds what works for her and she can prove to everybody what kind of runner she truly is. Keep training hard Tauro!

"run"
Those are the sorriest conversions I have ever read. I have run 21:00 and have hit sub 17 in the 5k. I ran an all out effort and I too had to shove the finish line workers away at the end. I'm not downing the guys for doing so but I wanted to get more air in. I think it's terrible you guys want to poke fun and say the women are not fit for falling out.
People on this forum constantly complain how track and field and xc does not get enough attention. When something great happens--the fastest times on that course in history--all you can think about is how the women finished!
I ran a new pr and I am proud of it! Some of you guys on this forum...not all, are underachievers and it gives you extreme pleasure to try and knock someone else down because of your own inadequencies. Post your times and let us judge them. Maybe you need to do a little falling out at the end.
I look forward to Nationals and hopefully the weather will be great so I can run another pr.
Do you experience the effects of Rhabdo during workouts?

This video is exactly why most men think that women's sports are a joke. If it weren't for the fact that women's sports have them compete in underwear and thongs, no men in the world would pay attention to them. Don't think I'm right? How many guys here would want a Women's Basketball game if all the women were in decent shape and were all wearing buns and half tops? Women's sports are boring and unwatchable if not for the fact that a few of them have great bodies and show it off. Even then, it's all for sex appeal and attention, and that's all that women want anyways right?
This is pretty hilarious.... haha, what a gem.
In response to track chic, whiteracerunner and girl power
you women appear to be heroic exceptions to all that was seen and reported on from Terre Haute on October 13th.
You seem to have great expectations that you are going deliver a fatal blow to some high school kid when you call him out and he can only sheepishly report back that he's only run 17:00 to your sub 17 5km time and 21 flat to your sub 21 or 21:30 to your sub 21:30 6km time. You may be disappointed (you're young, you'll get over it) that the posters on this site remain anonymous, but it is doubtful that anyone would want to come forward to face the shame you plan to inflict upon them when they can only talk about their sub 15 5km and sub 32 10km times from college.
If you compete in Div. 1 and you have legitimate sub 17 5km times, then yes you can proud that you are faster than most women, but don't become to prideful because most every man on this site has run and continues to run better times than that (which ain't saying much).
There are people on here mocking what they saw because it was a ridiculous situation to see so many bodies splayed out across the grass after a 21 or 22 minute race. Yes, they are allowed to ponder and wonder and be skeptical when hundreds of competitors (men and women) that day magically all ran PR's.
To question the times they saw and the condition of the student-athletes after the finish does not make them women haters. Let's be optimistic and say you all have bright futures and have learned from the experience and now are stronger and more prepared for Monday November 19th.

Master Theispan, how far and how fast can you run? It's amazing how some people call others acting when they can't run faster than paint dripping down a wall. There wasn't acting on my part just darn fatigue.
Most of us ladies ran pr's and ran the heck out of that course. Why can't you negative posters look at the fact it was one of the fastest times overall recorded on that day.
It seems as if everyone should be saying how hard the women put out instead of saying we were acting or being drama queens.
Explain to us why you never see world class runners behave like that?

Adere at Chicago.
Women most always run harder races than men.
I have experienced them usually only in race simulations, i have trouble finishing workouts when the coach says " alright pretend this is the finish and kick all you got" but usually its races only. There are not too many workouts that our team runs that is maxing like a race. I will say that i experience effects of Rhabdo a lotmore in high mileage times.

Adere ran a marathon in record temps. Not quite the same as a 6k in nice weather.

Kudos to Mark for capturing the carnage at the end of the women's white race. This is possibly the funniest thing I have ever seen in xc or track.
http://www.flocasts.org/flotrack/coverage.php?c=105&id=5156Just skip to 8 minutes into the race.
Things to note: Workers snatching up the girls right after crossing the line. the Michigan girl's spectacular kick, and the lifeless body of the UW girl being dragged across the grass.
I sure hope all those girls survived. Im pretty sure I saw the lineworkers stuffing people into bodybags in one scene....
I hope all you assholes noticed McDougal collapsing at the end of the race today and his limp body being dragged out of the finish shoot my the same officials in the above referenced video. Now what do you have to say?
It is chute, dyke.
Oh, okay, fine, you win.

You just proved the point in the video dumb ass.
One guy collapses on the ground = No other guys behind him began falling down.
One girl collapses on the ground = EVERY girl that finishes behind her falls down in a similar fashion.
... The point of this thread wasn't that one girl collapsed who might have been legitimately spent, it was to point out that nearly every girl after her did the same action.

I hope you noticed that he ran 10K, like his name was Teg. Girls only ran 6K. There ya go.
I'm pretty sure the beaches of Normandy weren't this chaotic.

Looks like the finish line of most women's races. Lots of fainting, crawling, and crying. When you get lots of drama queens in one place, you get shots like the fence line.
Truer words were never spoken. Well done.

You bumped a 10 month old thread for this?
Are you a glue sniffer?
