Oh my, an equipment manager! They would ask how far my run is, and based on this, would line up the number of Gu’s, S-caps, and they would ask my course so that they could put water bottles at specific areas. They would also constantly be watching the weather channel, and now the temperature and wind, and would know if it was shorts or tights, long or short sleeve shirts, gloves or no gloves, head band or not.
Theyd also have my pre-run diet ahead of time, and my recovery drink waiting for me.
Hmmm, the only question is would I want them to ‘body glide’ me or not? Probably wouldn’t be pleasent on either end. Guess I’ll do that myself.
Oh yeah, wait, I would call off songs and they would download them on itunes and put on my playlist. Swweeeettt idea! Sorry, ran with it a bit.
omg…GENIUS!! a personal running DJ…u seriously need to take that to apple. 😉 haha…glad u were kind and spared ur equip. manager the body glide duty. i’ll one-up u in the TMI, i’ll make my little guy carry the toilet paper but i won’t make him join me behind the bush. 😉
Love this! I would definitely employ an equipment manager to make sure that all my running tights and crop tops are clean at all times, to untangle my headphone cords because I am not that dexterous, and to cheer me on as I yell out how awesome I am and how much further I have to go. Then they can massage my legs and my neck after I run, and make sure I have a warm shower waiting (I know, I know, it should be cold – not happening), and then a big cup of green tea and some crackers with peanut butter, or beetroot and dijon (let’s not go there, my tastebuds are wacky little gremlins).
bwahaha….yea, maybe we can find a way to make them take a cold ice bath FOR us…that would solve it all! and perfect task for unknotting all those cords, those things are way too freaking tricky, it’s tougher than a Rubix cube! 😛
I can’t choose a question to answer because I am too busy laughing at this. You are hilarious. This is my all time favourtie!!
I especially love that despite trusting them with everything you still put your own “garmin” on. “MY Garmin..all mine”. I wouldn’t let anyone touch mine either 😉
So maybe I would hire them to remind me to charge my garmin since he’s not allowed to touch it!!!!
I LOVED this post! Runners get stiffed because it’s a solo sport but that’s not MY problem! I would have my manager foam roll me out like a mofo, lay out my clothes and make mad playlists.
I have the BEST pumpkin protein pancake recipe, if I do say so myself. that is my favorite post run fuel 🙂
I put my shoes and clothes out the night before too. It’s just too challenging at 5am to pick an outfit out! My favorite after run snack is a Click Vanilla Latte protein shake. So yummy!
First of all, this post is littered with fantastic links! I’ve been thinking about hill work-outs (I’d be doing the already but I’m trying to be a good girl and letting my body recover – the whole reverse taper thing).
I had never considered a caddy for running – way to plant that idea :-P. My running manager would have to be ready to take discarded clothes as I run, pace me by bicycle, and be ready with drink bottles (my Dad is so awesome that on the rare occasions I visit, he actually does this for me on a long run – spoilt much?!).
Post run – hand me the yogurt. And the peanut butter. Now.
This is too funny! It is great having someone to do all of the thinking for you.. 😉 Some of the things that I do to make it easier to get after in the morning are…I lay my gear out so I can just throw it on, have my ipod charged!, decide what’s for breakfast the night before and fix my lunch for the day too. 🙂
As long as my post run yummies refuel me, it can be anything! 🙂 I like for an egg to be in there 🙂
I like oatmeal and a protein smoothie after a long run! Great post.
thanks!! yummy, oatmeal is a top pick for me too! 🙂

My equipment manager would be responsible for scheduling my runs, making sure I sleep enough, and getting me out the door.
awesome!! keep u on top of all areas of life…smart!

Oh how I wish I had someone to wash all my nasty running clothes!! And to make sure my Garmin’s always charged.
amen to laundry duty!

oh man, now i’ve got to check out this pumpkin pie pancake recipe! 🙂
I put my shoes and clothes out the night before too. It’s just too challenging at 5am to pick an outfit out! My favorite after run snack is a Click Vanilla Latte protein shake. So yummy!
we shouldn’t be expected to do ANYTHING more than get up and out the door at 5am…good gracious!

confession, for some early runs i’ve been known to straight up sleep in my running clothes! 😉
