Runners are an ‘interesting’ group. We choose to wake up at 5am on a Saturday to run for hours, we deal with chafing and blisters and pound our bodies into submission. It’s awesome.

But, it’s also kinda strange to people who aren’t in this high-school-style-puppy-love-I-want-to-have-your-babies infatuation with running.

So your family and pals may not speak this Runner’s Language. My just the suggestion for today is all about runner’s words…

Just the suggestion – Running Lingo

PR – personal record = your fastest time in a certain distance

PB – personal best = same as pr (sometimes depends on where you are located which one is common)

PDR – personal distance record = farthest distance you’re run

Pace = speed you are going for a certain distance, typically per mile when you’re talking long distance running. Example: 8 minute pace is 8 minutes per mile

5k = 3.1 miles

10k = 6.2 miles

Half Marathon = 13.1 miles

Marathon = 26.2 miles (it’s always this distance)

Ultra marathon = Anything longer than 26.2 miles.

LSD – Long, slow distance = This is common on training plans for your long days. They are expected to be slower than usual.

Runner’s Trots = 911 emergency that requires immediate restroom time.

Fartlek = (Surprisingly, not related to Runner’s Trots!) speed play. When you speed up and slow down to recover without set distances. It’s less structured than speed work.

PT – In a runner’s world “PT” typically implies physical therapist not personal trainer.

Fuel = liquids or food you eat before/during/after a race.

Taper = period of less running before a race so you are well rested.

Rest day = The day you sit on the couch Camiseta Selección de fútbol de Suiza viewing RHONJ all day and eat Thai food and ice cream all day.

Bib = The paper with a # on it you wear for a race.

Timing chip = small item that goes on your shoe or bib to record your race time.

Out and back = When a course is out a ways and back to the same spot.

Point to point = When a course starts and finishes at different locations.

Aide station = The tables set up with water, sports drinks and food during a race.

F&@k!!!!!!!!!!!! = What you say at mile 19 of the marathon.

Ice bath = spending some quality time in a bath of icy water to help recovery after a difficult race or run. Yes, it’s incredibly unpleasant.

BQ = Boston qualify (You have to complete a marathon in a certain time to be able to qualify to run the Boston Marathon. The times vary based on Camiseta Corinthians Paulista age and sex.)

Carb-loading = The reason I run. the time previous to a race / long run when you eat all the carbs you can jam inside your body.
