I’ve been training for two years if you read my post, and if you count my decade of cycling training which was serious work I think that it’s pretty reasonable I’ve definitely seen far more talented people in different paradigms especially cycling. I’m a sports scientist/sc coach so I have access to a plethora of resources hence my use of the word meticulous

Yeah that’s an interesting outlook however I feel like there’s a lot of animosity and envy in running that I haven’t seen in a lot of sports before. If someone were to get good at rugby quickly where I’m from you would chalk it down to them being an anomaly, however with running there’s way more cynicism to talent
Firstly, learn the difference between "to" and "too". It'll save some embarrassment.
Secondly, you complain about your teammate linking certain behaviours to race, and yet you do the same thing in this post. You could just treat people as individuals, rather than incessantly categorising them into every conceivable idientity group, and set an example for the others on your team.
Your teammate sounds like a d*ck, but that just goes to show that it's very hard to be friends with someone who doesn't just treat you like their bud, but instead treats you like a POC or a white person - if you get what I mean? In other words, you're putting an unnecessary barrier between yourself and the other people on your team.
My bet is, you're constantly looking for ways in which these guys supposedly offend you - which will only isolate you further, because it makes you unbearable to be around.
You sound over sensitive and need to focus on training and racing, not catastrophising about chance remarks.
You have a history of giving up sports and making excuses for doing so?
