Boulder Boys clowning on David again on the Western States recap podcast. First Seth talking about how David put in an insane surge just to be at the front at the top of Escarpment. Separately they gave major props to Adam Peterman for gutting it out and walking in/finishing at 4am. "That's giving the race the respect it deserves!"
I tried listening to the SWAP podcast but could only make it through about a half hour of their therapy session. The guy is so unbelievably self-involved. He was seriously wounded hearing that people were saying mean things about him on the YouTube stream, but takes zero accountability for the hate he gets. He says it's a byproduct of his vulnerability. That is such nonsense. There are many reasons why people hate him, and his feigned "vulnerability" isn't one of them.
What a total contrast between guys like Seth Ruhling, Matt Daniels, Kilian, Peterman vs. David Roche. He's not a good representative of the sport. Total loser.
One: weren’t all these guys besides Moi coached by David at one point? If they dislike him why did they pay him. Matt also ran with David all the time. I saw it.
Two: Matt Daniels DNFed Javelina for no reason whatsoever. Everyone DNFs. Ultra runners are all mostly fragile ego people. This is a strange sport we do. I don’t care about these attention seekers tbh.
The most basic component of the sport is covering the distance. Dropping out when you know you won’t win is not only embarrassing, it’s comedic given how much hype David created around himself before the race. People like Adam Peterman and Adrian Macdonald deserve some real props for literally walking in the last 30 miles and having the grit to finish no matter what. THAT is what defines this sport. Not some insecure loser who has the mental toughness of a goldfish with anxiety
The boulder boys were not clowning David. They said one thing about the surge - which is normal if you have sponsors, etc. I didn’t take it as a slight on David.

You sound like someone who wires money to the prince of Nigeria…

I do not know or understand why those guys sought coaching services from David.
Clearly they don't like him anymore as they clown on him damn near every episode. They are subtle about it. For instance, talking about Cade Michaels being the guy who holds the FKT on that climb in Boulder (which he took from David in a workout with Andy Wacker a few days after David flooded social media about it). Matt Daniels recently wrote a Sub stack post that was a thinly veiled criticism of David. And the commentary on Adam Peterman in the recent episode was obviously just as much about David.
