Or, tell yourself you're only lifting 50+50+20kg. That way I run around 15km a day by splitting up the track into easily accomplishable lengths. I call it the Forrest Gump principle.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic. You're really good at lying to yourself if the 50+50+20 trick works for lifting. With running, you can do 5km and then another 5km and then another. That can be a good psychological trick to keep yourself going. With weightlifting, you have to lift it at all once. You can use this trick for reps or sets, but not absolute weight.
