Agreed conditions were not ideal with the heat, but people were ceding lane 1 to him for maybe the last 3 of the 6 hours.They were voluntarily going in lane 2 to give him lane 1. It was also an extremely thin field, less than 15 people total, which you are rarely going to find races with fewer. Also could have done a little more topical heat cooling if you ask me given the temps as you mentioned
Still wild how tight these records are at that level. Two minutes over 100k is basically nothing, but it shows how high the bar is now. On a different day or course, that margin could flip easily.

Yeah I mean I guess, but he has been very explicit about this in interviews. I guess he could be lying but it doesn’t seem like his MO when he describes his goals and rationale for them
maybe this will inspire him
i find this guy insufferable lol. he has to be a trust fund baby because he seemingly has no real job, probably minimal $ from any sponsors (he's bounced around from brand to brand before finally getting something with adidas, which i have to assume is likely gear only). he comes off as a fratty douche who think he has a swagger to him and you can tell he thinks he's better than thou. idk how people follow this charlie guy. he tries to act so suave and badass and its all so cringe. maybe the fact all he does is run and train hard full time and has no real life responsibilities just rubs me the wrong way.
i have to imagine his mommy and daddy are bankrolling his life because i dont see how else the guy is living in boulder and not working. congrats on the record but not a fan of the dude. all of his social media posts have people glazing him, i'll never understand who these people are lol. im sure some are bots, but who are these real life people out there who write such silly positive gushy comments to a stranger whether it be charlie, their favorite shoetuber, or some other random non-pro runner. its like a cult that all of these people have lmao
There are 100’s of guys that would smash Walmsleys “records” from ncaa, just that there’s no cash in ultras.
nico young has to contend w upstart rocky Hansen even though Nico has AR. Marathon and below gets best of best and ultras get the rest lol
Charlie is a wannabe pro and embellishes all of his instagram posts to a pathetic degree. The guy thinks he’s hot stuff and it’s embarassing when you zoom out and realize the type of captions and overall vibe he’s using to broadcast his running. I get the sense that the local and sub elite running community see right through this guy and think he’s a try hard. He’s an aerobic monster there’s no doubt about that, but the kids demeanor and personality leave a lot to be desired.
Agree with the poster who said he’s definitely the spoiled kid who think he’s so cool and has to be “the guy”. I mean you gotta be a narcissist if you’re getting small brands to film an entire YouTube doc series on your endurance endeavors. Cringe to the max man

why walsmpey should try to take down the record
my lord this guy's social media really is ridiculous. quite pathetic how boastful and machoistic he tries to make all of his running posts and videos. do people genuinely like this stuff? i find this hard to believe the engagement he's getting is real. who are these random fans lol. this charlie guy seems so full of himself and comes across as very egotistical. what a life to just train full time at altitude with no pro contract and be provided for by family money lmao. a lucky guy but how are random people willingly following such an entitled narcissist.
