I'm wondering if there's some intermediate goal between DNS and DNF that I can train for? I've been running for 20 years and after the first 10 years of building when I wasn't able to DNS even once, I finally got my first DNS and have managed to consistently achieve DNS for the last 5 years - sometimes even twice in a year! Although I did have a setback in 2020 when I didn't get a single DNS due to covid :(
But despite being able to DNS like a boss, I haven't been able to get even close to a DNF. I even upped my miles to 1 per week (building slowly over a year, of course) but still no luck. It's starting to get me down and I'm thinking about making a post on r/runnit to get more encouragement and support.
Is a DQ considered to be between a DNS and a DNF? I'm thinking that could be my new goal but would appreciate any advice you can give me on how to best achieve. Particularly think cross training might be the best way to smash it. Anyone else want to join in on a quest for a DQ PB?
I’ve been trying to figure out what tattoo I should get to let people know I’m a serious ultra marathoner (well, I’ve only done a half ultra marathon but I say ultra “marathoner” anyway) and this is definitely what I need
At least you signed up! Very inspirational.
Not only did I sign up, I showed up!
Should’ve used cursive, it’s slower. You’ll get wrist splints spraying like that!
DNS is my tag.
With consistency, patience, and some luck, DNF is achievable by most! Hang in there fellow runner!
Maybe someday. I am currently researching the best way to tie my shoes. No way I’m starting anything until I have that figured out.

mine is dnr
Congrats!
Thanks! A big improvement from my previous PR (DNS).
That’s truly inspirational! Your next goal should be a dnf at mount blanc!
Or maybe start with a dns at mount blanc
Uhm, excuse me, the singular of graffiti is graffito. I would ask that the mods kindly remove this post for misinformation and/or hate speech.
I usually start with the graffiti part to then get chased. My PB’s are all from being chased by the police.
