He went from around 40th to 240th in the last 1k :(

How is this a sign of an eating disorder? Just because you don’t feel well for one race doesn’t mean he has some huge internal problem. The race just went out super hard and he paid the price for going with it

Maybe he knew he was fading badly so rather than look bad he decided to fake it and get more press.
I feel like he would’ve dropped out and claimed to have been injured if he was worried about his ego.
he seemed off all cross season imo. still thought he would show up for the big day. not what you would expect to see from a 350 miler and 1312 5k guy. whenever you see someone that messed up you have to hope there was no injury or underlying heart issue/illness. he said he wanted to fall down as he crossed the line to know he gave it his all and it def took everything he had to finish so big respect for that. his future is bright on the track regardless (hopefully everything checks out after today)
He said in a yt video last summer that he had been vaxxed.
like 90% of the field is probably vaxxed lol
Went to hard for too long and got full leg cramps. A worse version of what happened to Chetegei at World Cross in 2017.

Why didn't someone pick him up and carry him across the finish line so they could get praised for their heroic and selfless act by the media? Isn't this a thing anymore?
Brody Smith from Princeton tried to but Cooper decided to finish it himself.

A 13:12 guy shouldn’t have that much of a glycolysis breakdown in the NCAA XC meet. It was relatively fast for everyone. Very unusual

Has nothing to do with being a 13:12 guy. This has happened to a ton of runners including world class professional runners. Sometimes it just happens, and it's not indicative of anything.

Ya, just look back at what happened with Jenny B in her final NCAA Cross race.
i 100% agree with this take. You crash in one race so you arent eating enough?? LRC obviously is still on stoopid pills. I guess it is comforting to see that somethings never change
I get that it was motivated by an agenda, but did you hear in all those NYC marathon interviews when they asked about the vaccine? Which pro athletes denied getting it?
The fastest antivaxer I know is a 2:28 guy
I just merged two threads on this if you're wondering why the page numbers may have changed.
Cooper will be back. Sub-13:10 this Spring.
For now, can someone set his stagger to this music?

Distance running has a reputation for eating disorders. However I’ll walk back the “disorder” take. But I do think that too many distance runners do not fuel properly. Especially those with the pressure of performing at such a high level.
These are the questions that should be asked…
#1 Is the athlete consuming enough calories?
#2 Are the calories containing the appropriate nutrients?
#3 Is there the appropriator level of hydration?
It seems like certain programs aren’t asking this questions. Instead they’re focused on their athletes being a certain “number” on the scale.

Funny how no one is putting the recent vaccination program of Covid to the cause of what we witnessed. These shots are nothing more then pure toxicity and are causing havoc to many perfectly fine athletes World wide. These shots are causing a variety of issues in people from heart failure and stroke to Mitochondria disfunction. Sadly this is just the beginning will see a lot more of this as these booster shots are added to the mix.
