Here's what Shalane has posted in Instagram stories...
"NUTRITION FACT: If you drink a gallon of water per day, you won't have time for other people's drama because you'll be too busy peeing."
"negativity is contagious. unhappiness is contagious. fear is contagious. but so is happiness. so is optimism. so is love. surround yourself with people who bring out the best in you. and strive to be a reflection of what you want to receive."
And also a montage of happy, happy, positive BTC runners being happy, happy, smiley and positive.
She's clearly thinks the best defense (when you've been brazenly supporting a convicted cheater) is to go on the offensive with passive-aggressive, pseudo-positive, empty platitudes aimed at your perceived enemies. She doesn't realize that by doing so, not only does she come across as a hypocrite, but also a bit of a jerk.
Yeah this is the part that gets me - I've always been a HUGE Shalane fan, and I don't really understand her falling into rank and file here. I think she could have tons of success if she left BTC and formed her own coaching group. It's weird to see an athlete lose respect AFTER they have retired.
She's not hurting for money. Shalane's silence and support of Shelby on this has been the most disconcerting to me from a fan's perspective.
