For the longest time I knew guys who lifted and maintained a muscular physique and I knew guys who could run sub 2:40 in the marathon. These were two separate groups entirely and could not have been more diametrically opposed; rail thin, focused runners vs gym bros trying to get big and get chicks. Now, on social media I am bombarded by guys who walk around with 200+ lbs of muscle and run fast marathons like it's going out of style. I don't know if it's shoes, drugs, or the fact that there's now a career prospect in being one of these roid runners but it has totally warped the perspective of what a marathoner is. I can't imagine being a young, scrawny distance runner and seeing this thinking it is "normal." To me, all these guys are just narcissistic d-bags who crave money and attention under the guise of being noble and "inspiring" others. I posted it earlier but there is nothing "inspiring" or impressive about exercise when that is all you do. It is impressive to carve out time in a busy schedule with family, work, personal commitments, and a whole host of other priorities. If your job is just to be in shape and post on social media, exercise is easy and is not impressive.
Isn't his Dad the jacked bow hunter Cameron Hanes? Yeah, those guys are probably on some sort of gear. Test them and kick them out! It's all for attention and business. Really sad to see at a quality distance running event like Boston.
Yes, I just worked this out yesterday. Cameron is 58, claims to run 20+ miles a day is jacked and is also friends with Joe Rogan (the famed juicer). The sad thing is that these guys promote an impossible-to-achieve body image. Being jacked is not functional for the goals they claim they are working towards. Ben Parks and Ross Edgley are some of the worst offenders.
Alright, so shirtless jeans guy is running over 100 miles a week and had a goal weight of 164. Makes the times a bit more believable. That's actually less than I weigh so he must be shorter with that physique.
LRC: I suppose that's the end of DGR's Daily Vlog.
The Greatest of All Time, Still the Original Running YouTuber (though he denied he's a running YouTuber and says he prefers to be called a story teller): "Au contrarie moi capitaine, he's baaaaack!"

We will have reached peak running YouTube when the robots and Seth do a 50k training run around a snowy parking lot outside of Denver in a few years! It does seem like Seth's training pace and the robot's race pace are pretty similar.

Are you talking about Ben Parkes? If so, I'm very confused. Ross Edgley on the other hand is on Rich Piana levels of gear.
Sorry, Ben Parks can be accused of many things; however, he's as natty as they come. I meant BPN performance dude, Nick Bare. The name of the brand made me think of Parks, lol
It's on! Top 3 Brits along with jack rowe and Phil sess
I never get past his complete cringe intro - a inherently dull person trying to be wacky (perhaps Phily has been giving him tips).
This must be trolling. He has 0 chance of coming top three. There are 18 Brits in the elite field all with sub 2.18 pbs - including two Olympians (Alex Yee and Mahamed MAHAMED).
Not even sure he wins YouTuber battle with Cole and Bester.
give me more info on this? where is it so i can throw some mouldy gels at them as i overtake there golden boy
Around mile 24.5 if you must know.
Nick Bester just shared on instagram that over 120 members of Best Athletics are running the marathon on Sunday. How is that even possible? Has his club just got way more members than others? It’s seems extremely high.
