[ddmram]

Thanks to ALL for support, please feel free to ask any questions!

[HardTomOn]

i could probably do this. i am a CONtractor in utah that had my license revoked by the state. my hous on the hill in draper forclosed, because i don;t pay those i owe money to. my secretary (AKA MOMMY) tells me when creditors are looking for me, and i start running and don;t stop. since i owe half of the state money, i am running all the time and in great shape. i keep changing my company name to try and avoid people also. am i building "integrity" in your opinion???? NOT! HT--utah.

[XCisAwesome]

Nice Job. Thats extremely impressive. But can you tell me what you can run a regular 5k in to give me a perspective of how difficult it is to run with that much weight on your back?

[DarkWithinTheLight]

this guy probably flies without weight, just having shoes half a pound heavier slows you down like 20 seconds for a 5k so imagine 40 pound

[Dowdproductions]

Why are you wearing a backpack?

[ddmram]

@Dowdproductions Because thats what the reocrd is...and its a Army rucksack with a metal frame

[MoniqNkeila]

Is there a Record for slowest runner because I could really achieve that

[8infectedTesticals]

animal

[Dark2439]

What do you normally get in a 5k without wearing a backpack?

[ddmram]

@Dark2439 not certain...I have not ran 5K w/o pack in years.

[ddmram]

@Dark2439 My fastest ever 5K was on a cross-country course 14:30

[crud56]

@pokekevin i doubt u run a 13:49 5k thats a semi elite time not one you get in the marines

[Pokekevin]

@crud56 lo 13:22 now.i didnt get that time cause of the marines. I got it from college running

[Pokekevin]

is that a Molle pack? When i first saw the title i was like DAMN mustve been boots and yutes lol. Im in the marines and currently run a 13:49 for the 5k and I still think this guys run is outstanding! Congratulations on your record!

[imeeting]

@Pokekevin holy crap! what's your mile?

[Pokekevin]

@imeeting 3:55 set at cerritos college's track. 

[aruuraa]

@Pokekevin no u dont..

[Pokekevin]

@aruuraa  believe whatyouwant fella butstaff at 4th lar can vouch for it

[aruuraa]

@Pokekevin you do realise that a 5k is 3.1 miles right? i highly highly doubt u run under 14..

[Pokekevin]

I do and do you realize that a 5000m starts 200m behind the starting line on a track? and that the WR is 12:37 and that the average college D1 runner runs sub 14. The average top High school runner can challange tehh 14 mark like ryan hal at 14:00 flat at wood bridge ? 13:22 maay sound fast but its quite slow in my world where you need to run sub 1 to be able to be a challenger.

[XCisAwesome]

@Pokekevin Thats bullshit the average D1 STAR runner can sometimes get under 14. I know plenty of people who couldn't even break 16 in high school who went on to run D1. And let me tell you, they aren't breaking 15 anytime soon, let alone 14.

[Pokekevin]

@XCisAwesome I dont know where youre from but in california people would take what you said as a joke lol. Got lots of sub 16 guys who still dont get into D1 schools. Mainly D2s. So I guess your stats really depend on where you're from

[Pokekevin]

@XCisAwesome other than that. I derailed this long enough ^_^ my bad op. If you wanna chat about PBs and whatever and such feel free to pm it.

[Pokekevin]

@aruuraa I dont mean any offense though :) just isting the info

[scp025]

what the fuck is with that guy holding the camera?! Keep it still!

[jamesVideo100]

dont laugh but my best 5k time is 23:50 im only in 8th grade tho so whatev

[ddmram]

Too any doubters try running with 40 lbs on your back...I'm certain you will not be any where your normal speed. Thx

[eddiefogerty]

@ddmram yep, running with 40 lbs on your back it ain't easy... i run with a 20 lb vest, plus 10 lb ankle weights on each leg, but i prefer not to beat a world record lol, that would be so much painful,

your amazing! that was a great super run!

[swatpa079]

lol my 5k time is only 17:49 as a freshman, i think i could do better ;D

[jagmail95]

my 5k was only 18:33 and im only 15

[silismo]

damn . that shit is unbelieveble

[crazyspeed10]

Ya that is pretty beast. I just graduated high school and ran a 15:35 5k in cross but my god I can't even imagine breaking 25 min with 40 lbs. strapped to my back

[SneeezingCat]

@crazyspeed10 Wow, that's my exact PR in high school too... O_o

[jetulik]

cool man!!

[Killerbeastman]

my 5k time is only 1932 so this guy is freakin amazing

[ddmram]

Thanks!

[climberis1]

@Killerbeastman wat grade

[andykins118118]

man you beat my pr by 15 seconds, with the pack! that must have been tough

[Macbeth789]

@zkranz13 Running with ankle weights is bad but not running with a weight vest.

[mezner09]

@Macbeth789 its so much easier to run with a weighted vest, because you are only adding weight to your lower body, not adding weight to your legs. You can still move your legs just as fast, but the weighted vest will put more pressure on your legs when you land.

[ddmram]

It probaly was but it was worth it! Thanks for the comment

[intheflesh316]

whats your 5k times without a backpack?

[goblu789]

wats ur time w/o one?

[quadbravo]

That's incredible.

[kevinsongsong]

how do you get better and better witth the 5k

[ddmram]

Seek out the running bible and it will provide you with everything you need to succeed...Good Luck!

[kevinsongsong]

what does that mean?

[jif001]

that'd be Once A Runner for those unfamiliar.

[scskowron]

This is badass. What's your longest hump? And what's your bodyweight?

[ddmram]

Longest hump is around 30 miles (walking) 4 miles (running) and I weighed 165 lbs at WR. and thanks for the compliment!

[JoshMcRay]

Just curious what can you run a 5k in without the pack. I do about a 18:10. Please reply

[ddmram]

The fastest I ever ran 5K was 14'20.

[mrbrightside282]

@ddmram damn rly? where?

[Jumpstar321]

16:10 ;)

[DallasStarsOwn]

daaaang dude how bad did your legs hurt after that? for me, running even with shorts that are too thick slows me down

[camtheman1807]

maybe elite hs runners. true elite runners are low 13s high 12a

[whiten2nerdy]

what thats pretty insane, i couldn't run a 5k with 40 pounds on, i only run 17's with no weight though

[rachaelmcclure]

It's an official Guinness World Record douchebags!!

[ddmram]

elite athletes are not doing with 40 lbs on there back, if YOU were a real runner, you would know that even 5 lbs can slow your speed dramatically.

[minhhale]

That can't be 15km/h. It's like a bit faster than you walking (maybe around 11-12km/h). A 5k in 20min is hard, only elite runners can do in such a time, and you're even running with 18kg of thing on your back...!

[yahyaelhallak]

20min isn't hard i started doing laps of 450 meters Ive been doing it for 1 week and can do 11 laps which is 5k and in 25 minutes flat.

and have improved from about 7 laps 20 minutes to this in only 1 week.

so another week and IL be doing 5k 20 min.

[minhhale]

Oops, looks like I was wrong. That can just be 15kmph, because the camera distance was a bit too far so I can't tell much about the speed. Sorry for the comment!

[ddmram]

yeah, your right....now do it with 40 lbs on your back....I bet you can't

[0587dave]

@minhhale i ran 23minutes during boot camp and i wasnt anywhere near an elite athlete or even close to the top of the pft compared to everybody else on the rest.

[saberking1992]

looks hilarious from far away! nice though.
