Josette “get me on camera” Norris

I'm fine with her being on camera now and then.

So is she. Sienna all her free time searching for a camera

Erika Kemp…with a close second going to Natosha Rogers.

Big personalities in the sport will never be liked by everyone, that's how it works. But can we not act like no like likes him, and that you've somehow never ran into a single fan of his ever? Cause obviously enough people like him for how many opportunities he get's from sponsors and deals cause he has the following he does in the sport. At the last race I saw him at there were literally at least 5 high schoolers wearing his face on a shirt.

... is it realllllly "showing his insecurities" for him to act the way he does? One guys "he's attention seeking, insecure, and he needs to be more professional in his behavior" is another guys "I like that he's himself and doesn't take himself too seriously, too many others are fake and elitist, but he makes track more relatable and enjoyable instead of boring"

Yeah it happened just this summer I remember it well. Lots of runners drink. But yeah, Craig is for sure the bad guy for daring to be the one to do it on camera. Ollie won the Wannamaker mile and admits he probably drinks like a beer a day, issues with him too? Molly won bronze at the Olympics and said in her post race interview she wanted a beer. By this time next year are we gonna be over her relatableness and think its lame?

I hope not. Athletes are praised for being relatable and great until people wanna decide "No they're too popular now, they're overrated, let's rag on them for the thing we used to applaud, and move onto applauding the next new shiny relatable runner. That is until we do the same to them"

Oh boy, here we go, we got the president of the Craig Engles fan club to set us all straight. Make sure to wipe your tears before your mullet gets too damp, bubs.

For real though, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, Engles' whole persona was fresh and entertaining at first but he's pushed it far enough at this point that it's become enough of a schtick that he comes off as a bit of a tryhard. Plus, the antics look a lot cooler when you're performing well. I think he even said in an interview that his partying and drinking was getting in the way of training of competing, so for him to be chugging beers after running like sh!t is more depressing than cool. If I were his mentor, I would tell him to focus more on running and gaining attention from success rather than just being the class clown.

I dont need to dry his tears, I think Craig can dry his own tears with all the cash nike gives him.

Yeah he's 4th in the entire nation, that qualifies for bad running for sure? Too bad. Didn't know only the other 3 before him were the only milers performing well enough

I’ve looked up the people mentioned on this thread. They all look like authentic runners who enjoy what they do and letting their personalities show.

I don’t like to follow the athletes who rarely post and when they do it’s some sort of curated picture and scripted message. Please don’t do this, pro runners- it’s very fake. I don’t get it why some of these people have huge followings.

I will follow all of the WOMEN mentioned on this thread, so thank you for mentioning them.

Probably that guy whose d!ngus slipped out of his shorts in a sprint to the finish at a marathon. He got a whole lot more coverage than any of these other yahoos.

Enjoy the contract while it lasts. He is going to get bumped next performance review.

It's wesfly. That dude has to be one of the most obnoxious and narcissistic people on this planet

Engles act was fun at first but like a lot of things it gets lame when you over do it.

Molly Seidel now because she tries to hard to find dopey guys making dopey dad jokes to her as some toxic masculinity issue.

They all are, theyve found a way to monetized themselves on social media. As annoying as it may be I can fault them for that.

there's this dude that goes to AIC the mofo posts 24/7 like he's imparting great wisdom on people like a pro runner. Always in my explore page annoying asf
