Hopefully that puts this all to rest. The dude has an unconventional approach to racing. Without his performance, this race would have been pretty boring. A slow major marathon in an age when we expect records and 2:03s every time. So more power to Glenn for giving us all something to talk about.

Finally, just respect the dude for having the balls to jump into running after a few years of skiing professionally. Maybe he doesn't race smart, but he races with guts, and that's something in and of itself.


Can we stop confusing guts with stupidity?
Are the young kids that sprint the first 400m of local 5k to then walk the rest of the race running with guts and balls.....Please.


Running with guts is taking a risk that you know could back fire but that you also believe you can get away with. If he believed he could get away with that move from that field on that day he is an idiot pure and simple.
The only ballsy move he made was to be willing to act as an idiot on national tv. I guess some may be impressed with that, but as far as respect is concerned......Please
