worst person in running today wrote:
Guy is 29-years-old, has no job, has all day to do nothing but work out and sleep. His first marathon was three years ago in 3:08. He's only broken 3:00 four times in 18 marathons (one was a 2000' drop course). And despite having every advantage of a professional runner, he has managed to drop his marathon time PR a whopping 11 minutes in three years. Not impressive at all. This guy is much worse than any other so-called "influencer" in running today.

No job is crazy. He has a looooot of YouTube shorts. He helped me break 25 minutes in the 5k with his tips and tricks video. Stop hating on casual runners, letsrunners are stuck up bullies. Running sub 3 in a marathon is also like soooo amazing, so like why hate??

re: Badcompany

This is awesome. Finally races are starting to take this crap seriously. They should make him return the medal and take down his Instagram posts boasting about his race time.

I guess his PR is back to 2:59:37.

He has gone under 3:00 four times and been disqualified in two of the four races:

Aug 2022 Tunnel Vision (2000' downhill) - 2:57:24

Jan 2023 Houston 2:59:35 DQ for being a bib mule

Oct 2023 Chicago 2:59:37

Nov 2024 New York 2:57:15 DQ for using pacing bikes

How does he have that much confidence with that face?

Seriously tho, this might end up being a net positive for him. He gets more attention by being DQed than following the rules.

Hard to see how a running influencer being banned by the largest running organization in the world can be spun into a positive.

He can still run beer miles like Shelbo.

who (TF) is Matt Choi?

re: Chad Move

Yeah, and got DQ'ed while at it. He was the one ending up apologizing. Lol

A douche lousy 3 hour marathoner who wants the world to be impressed for running under 3 hours (lol) while getting disqualified and banned from future NYC Marathons precisely for being a douche. No story here, only for losers with self-grandeur delusions.

Dude just really wanted to flex this, no one really was wondering about your first marathon.

Been 46 years and you still haven't gotten over this one mate?
