I’m at the local track, and whaddaya know today a group of crossfitters thought it would be great to fill the track with kettlebells, free weights etc. Just lying around, and do their hocus-pocus workout - including walking very slowly around the whole track with said kettlebells, doing weird variation of situps and every other nonsense exercise you could think of in the INNER track, walking out infront of me doing 200m reps, totally oblivious to the fact that there are other people around, mean while you got a perfect park with a loop around a small lake rigth beside the track.

To any of you pseudo “athletes” out there. You are average weight lifters and horrible runners, go to hell.

I’m guessing you aren’t a world class runner either.

Just yell "Track" at every single one of them during every lap. It's actually similar to altitude training.

I don’t care. I’m used to old people and every level of runners plodding around the track, having to deal with that, but at least they’re there to RUN. I’m guessing you’re one of those chasing a sub 20min 5k and some random number of kipping pullups?

These moran joggers! My bros and I were getting swole and some douchebag guy in tights kept trying to weave between us!

There was perfect running loop literally right next to the field we were working in and this fruity twink couldn't stop trying to make a scene, acting all tough but then backing off when we looked at him.

re: xfit guy, not the real one

Yeah the scary 40-50 year old weekend warriors doing 2:30 400m reps and walking with a 20lb kettlebell

re: Functionalhybridathlete

They are more well rounded than most track athletes that can run fast in ovals but are very weak otherwise.It is better to be above average at many sports instead of excell and just one.

Track etiquette is a challenge. I can usually manage, but large groups can be especially thoughtless. I've had entire cheer squads cover the track while the infield is open.

For 2 or 3 walkers, if they are veering into random lanes, sometimes if I'm with my son I'll stand at the end of the straight with a stopwatch looking down the straight and wave them off to the side. Usually works once they notice.

re: Functionalhybridathlete

Crossfit has clearly been designed to make injuries more likely. Some of the events are ridic.

Nature's laws my man. Skinny runners only get to eat after the swole cross-fitters have finished. They knew you weren't going to step up and say anything, instead you took your impotent rage to a running forum.

I thought the cross fit fad was over.
