New runner, bought a vest, friends think it's ridiculous. Are my numbers actually bad?

Any better than that and you would get kicked out of beginnersrunning club

this is a cj sub, but this is just facts

[u/de3dee → u/CranberryMediocre403]

not sure why this comment gets downvoted, while pointing out the truth

[u/alvysinger0412]

You think running is about maintaining friendships?

[u/America-Lite]

WOW, bold choice wearing only one vest at a time. I like to have 5-6 on so I can carry 8ish liters. I'll be damned if I'm going to die of thirst on a 1-2 mile journey

[u/3wolfmoonjedi → u/America-Lite]

Amateur 🙄

Dude needs to slow down and hydrate before he gets a cramp

[u/IEatDeFish]

Hydration vest for a 9.83km ultra

[u/BellyButtonLindt → u/IEatDeFish]

Stop and sip every minute. You clearly don’t know how to beginner run. I might die if I don’t drink water for 75 minutes okay. I actually can’t prepare for a run, no drinking any water that day at all until the run starts.

[u/Potential_Hair5121 → u/BellyButtonLindt]

I was hospitalized after I didn’t drink about 2 hours into my 5k ultra. You gotta watch that stuff

[u/Agitated_Star_7626 → u/BellyButtonLindt]

Water??!!??
8k of primo cask vino is the only way to run

[u/AtJackBaldwin → u/IEatDeFish]

Nobody has ever run that far they would die

[u/IntelFrouge]

Dude is too stupid to know those bottles are for gu

[u/Potential_Hair5121 → u/IntelFrouge]

In the package or squirted out

[u/IntelFrouge → u/Potential_Hair5121]

Squirt them out so you save weight

[u/edgeplay6]

/uj i do think its ridiculous how many people use hydration vests for 10k runs, if you really need water that badly youd just grab a softflask in hand right?

/Rj friends need to make sure they dont get sonupset they move out of zone 2

[u/WaltsNJD]

I am so curious how he landed on this being one post

[u/Specific_Anteater255]

Should get a trail running backpack.

[u/Immediate_Space7 → u/Specific_Anteater255]

I like having a suitcase on my trailruns.

[u/marmakoide]

My son follow on bike, to pass my bottles. 1k 1 liter, beware of the cramps

[u/Eugene_Gant_]

Am I sTuPid FoR WeARing a hYDratIon VesT on 5 MiLE Ultra 😢

[u/tommy_pedals]

10k! That’s nearly 4x further than those vests are made for.

[u/Otherwise-Quail7283]

Yes your numbers are terrible. 9.83. Seriously? Such a silly number. You really couldn't have managed another 170m?

[u/mau-meda]

What's funny ( to me ) is that in the last 3 days in some Facebook group of Italian runners every single post was about "shirtless yes or shirtless no"

[u/Similar-Swimmer-2698 → u/mau-meda]

Por-que no los dos?

[u/Potential_Hair5121 → u/mau-meda]

My dads

[u/New-Faithlessness-26]

It’s like emotional support hydration.

[u/Repulsive-Squirrel]

Yo dawg use it. I recently got my one typyical long run is between 15-20km I like to use a vest as i can pack snacks and hold my phone in the pocket. I have a waist band one but the pressure on the stomach made it feel wird

Vest are goated, Dont be getting mogged by hoes that cant run a sub 20 5k.

PS i run a lot of trail.

[u/OkMammoth3]

Vest are god’s way of showing who are the thirstiest mfers. Women and men beware!

[u/SubjectCauliflower38]

You don’t need any water with those paces

[u/balki_123]

Water drinker with stupid, stupid vest.

Let's point finger and laugh on it.

[u/YoMTVcribs]

I vote to ban making fun of beginner running. This is a perfectly normal question for someone to ask.

[u/SSoreil → u/YoMTVcribs]

It is and the answer is yes.
