This is such a jaded response. Most of the runners at the trials have no chance at the team, but an OTQ is a great goal in and of itself. Should we just run half a dozen guys and see who the top 3 are?

+1 If the Trials is only about making the team, put the top 5-10 men and women on a track. If Sage makes the Trials with a 2:18, he'll give hope to everyone under 2:25 to keep working at it. There's value to that. Sage is also very public so you can see what it takes the run what he has run. I get more inspired from the 2:18 men or 2:44 women that work full time and complete a lifelong dream than a pro with no personality that keeps their training a secret.

You get more inspired by 2:18 men who work full time? What does that have to do with Sage? Did he suddenly get a non-running career and we just all missed it?

Anyway, maybe I'm biased, because I strongly believe that we should only run 24 to 30 men and women in the trials. Unfortunately, USATF has a rule that doesnt allow our trials to require a time faster than the olympic B mark. As a result, you have to let in a massive number of runners to the trials, because the marathon B mark for the olympics is far slower than any other t &f b mark.

2:18:08. Hoping for him to fulfill his goal of a Q-time and run a great race.

Good luck, Sage.

he's been falling off pace a bit

split pace

5K 0:16:21 05:16

10K 0:32:41 05:16

15K 0:49:04 05:17

HALF 1:09:06 05:18

25K 1:22:06 05:22

30K 1:38:38 05:20

Crap I just saw he DNF’d ?

that last 5k dropped his predicted time to 2:19:04

I think he is crashing

Sage is a good dude and an amazingly talented runner, but his b**** diet does not serve him well for covering lots of ground in rough terrain. I'd say he unless he changes his diet, he should stick to shorter races. You can't run 100 mile races when you fuel with chickpeas, water, and soy. His results confirm that.

Having said that, I think he'll do really well in the marathon and any sort of shorter distance run. I predict 2:21.

It's a shame that he is so married to the vegan diet.. the guy has a better engine and work ethic than most ultra runners, but the diet thing holds him back from reaching his full potential for distances above 100KM.

You made me LOL. Blaming his diet. You're so funny. And an idiot.

close but he will not make it.

He will post a very detailed video analysis of what went wrong while drinking a beer.

Then he will go back to ultras (hopefully fast races, not another UTMB fiasco).

Boom!

Back to the mountains he goes.

Like Walmsley? Is he a vegan too?

You have it 100% backwards. Without his healthy diet he would be doing worse. Not better. His diet is close to optimal.

Are you kidding? He was close dude and still has a chance to do it. Wow, do you quit every morning when you wake up and just stay in bed all day?

No hate. He should stick to what he does best, marathon-wise he's past his prime.

Yeah, he just missed the standard, which was his goal, so now it's impossible because it didn't happen in this one race on this one day. You must really enjoy placing top 5 for your age group in your local fun runs.

Sage's biggest training problem is his coach, being coached by your girlfriend/wife never work

I do.

Sorry but I've seen same failure from Sage in 2016, you're free to think otherwise.

It's not a failure, it's a near miss.

You must harbor a lot of inner negativity on a daily basis.
