Hey Fringe, I too am an athlete although I haven't ran in a track race for a couple years haha. In the UK I take part in cross country and Fell (Mountain Running). I also play lots of other sports because they are great fun! What distance do you run on the track? :)
I think ~80-90% of german males start to play football(soccer), when they are 6 - 10 years old. Those who manage to quit in time are still able to walk at the age of 30 :D.
Personally not doing much, but little weightlifting. I guess psytrance and what comes with it, is my sport currently..
I have done a few sports, but circumstances have always ended up moving me apart from them (injuries and other commitments). Currently I jog once or twice a week, up to 8-10km, and fence twice a week (foil). In the past I have played many years of futsal and frontenis, which I loved but had to stop because I could not find any courts in the UK. Still play them during the summer though when I go back home.
played Hockey quite activley, later switched to field hockey, got into natinal squad so ye played quite allot.
then my neghborhood stepped in, showed me the party life and that was the end of that story :mrgreen:

I used to play badminton after a 1-year training + few amateurish contests, but since I crippled my leg I can forget about single-games, only doubles and barely that.
Oh well, more time to no-life :)
Heh, I'm thankful I've taken no such injuries. Guess it does build on your cRPG playing time though.
I myself only know a few athletic guys that play games, and none of the games they play are M&BW :(I can't help but wonder, why is this important to you?
Teeth that's pretty simple, he wants to relate with warband players in other things than just playing warband, and he wants to relate to athletes in other things than running around.
Track and Tennis.
Shit man, you should definitely get back into it, hockey is a great game and if you are talented you should pursue it as far as possible! :)
And nice one Fringe, both distances you mentioned are fun ^^
Out of curiosity, is anybody in the forum an athlete of some form or fashion, or has been in the past? I've come across a good deal of football players (most linemen,) but that's about it. I've met quite a few Europeans who are involved or at least active in one sport or another, but not much else. The reason I had this on my mind was because I just got done with one of my track meets and wondered if anybody on here was doing the same thing.
Rowing 8-) 12-13 times a week ( Of course not only rowing, but also lifting weights and riding the road bike)
Was in the national squad 2 years ago as a junior and trying to get back in now as a senior.
nice dude! track is the shit, and you are doing the two most hurtful disciplines ^^
I ran 400m in our teams relay on a national level and later went on to doing 100/60m when I found my love for str training : )
what country/state are you from?
my latest athletic accomplishment is winning a beer chugging contest against Rob Schwartz during the london olympics ^^
Texas, United States of America. Yes, the 800m can be a bitch, and even the 400m can too.
I used to play badminton competitively some years ago. On the tip of my "career" I was 13th on the Finland's ranking for my age group. Then came in the family issues, move to another city with a shitty possibilities to play badminton anymore, and my loss of interest to that sport.
Nowdays I'm snowboarding and skiing the winters, and running during summers.
where does one snowboard and ski in finnland? or do you come to the alps as well?
Hockey, football, skiing and doing some running and weight lifting. Half of it was gone once I discovered cRPG :(
mate, you might wanna check out elitetrack.com
mike young, the sights owner, is a promovated biomachanic and coach, charlie francis, vern gambetta and many more were on there back when i was active and I learnt a huge fucking bunch.
Nice, I enjoyed track myself. I clocked a 1:39 in the 600m at 11 years old. I went to a shitty school though and had parents who couldn't give a shit so most of my running around that time was away from the cops. I played 2 man beach volleyball in my 20's and was pretty good. 6'2 180 lbs with no fat on me. Then I met my wife, started having kids and put on 10 lbs of lard per year for the next 7 years :lol:
So true and so sad as wife's conspiracy with the goal of fattened us work fine :-D
6'2 165 at 210 lbs :-D
