If this is *actually* Sage Canaday the runner, then mad props. I have followed you recently on these boards and am inspired by your story. You had to grind to make it. I had to work as a journalist making nearly as little as you did for years before I got smart and got out of there.
I'm training for a 'thon--that's hard enough--and trail running/ultras seem even beyond my ability. I did a 17-miler today that felt easy, which means I'm finally getting into shape lol.
Is Sage even a sub-elite runner or just a fast moving billboard at this point?

Keep getting after it Sage! You’re a positive role model for so many people.
Your welcome, i love to run and inspire people.
There is nothing wrong when one is advertising products - especially the ones with good quality and price. Sage is doing a good job. However, I don't understand that Patreon support at all. Youtube is playing him ad revenue and still the channel wouldn't exist (according to his recent video) without those 202 Patreon supporters. The lowest amount that one can donate to a poor creator is $1/month. That is ridiculous. I would rather see a creator selling merch or training programs than asking for change at a street corner.
Sage is becoming "Krupicka 2.0", paid for doing nothing except social-media marketing.
One could argue that this year was very good for Sage with respect to the ultra running scene. Top 10 in the mountain running golden trail series and 2nd at Pike's!
