Which elite runners would you be surprised to stroll the boards and who would you assume is on here daily?

....yet my egomania compels me to look daily.

Yes, Alberto reads the boards. He can't get enough of the message board rats.

I just picture Alberto, Galen, and mo reading this forum and the posts laughing about it and how sad our lives are that we come and talk crap about them... then Galen injects more epo while laughing and running and drops his tempo pace down to 4:05 a mile... 6 miles later he's cramped up from laughing and does a long run followed by a speed workout, does what's left in the daily routine, steroids, hgh, and his cryosauna... goes home gets back the boards and trolls us all... Galen f'ing Rupp... I mean I could be wrong but that's what probably happens daily...

It is much sadder if Al, Rupp and Farah read these forums and sat back and complained. There is a very simple solution to Al, Rupp and Farah's problem: stop competing, stop craving attention, get you sorry asses out of the public eye.

Not to nitpick, but you took a made up scenario in your brain and verbally assaulted the people within that fantasy as if it was real. Your agenda is also showing, ese.

Mo and Rupp do not do that. They play video games, they don't have time to read Letsrun.

Ah, it was obvious a NOP fanboy would be unable to contain his inner demons, just like the head boys of NOP (AlSal, Rupp, Farah).

Tell me something meaningful an elite runner/coach would get from reading this forum. 95% is pure garbage, and its overpopulated with immature HS runners.

Sure. I'd like to bring a wine for us to enjoy. Do you prefer reds, whites, or blush?

I think Coach Salazar eads these boards daily. He probably contributes on a weekly basis.

I can't imagine any African elites reading these.

Probably all college racers read the posts unless their coaches told them not to.

LR is not that popular among sprinters and a lot of Black athletes MD/distance runners will say they don't visit LR because it is viewed as racists. But, several years ago, I know a couple of Black athletes who visited LR even though the said they don't. Among White MD/distance runners, I will estimate that over 90% visit LR to some degree. Elites, especially coaches have a love/hate relationship with LR. Sometimes elite athletes don't visit the message board, but they will view the front page for news. I am not as connected as I use to be and things can be different nowadays.

"rss feed"? Maybe in 2005.

No, I was just saying in case people didn't know.
