can confirm, this dude is an absolute a$ in person, met him on several occasions and he just has a massive "better than you" complex. He's become a running joke between me and another friend. Definitely not someone you would want to spend much time with
What a crap think to post where you are anonymous and he can't defend himself!
Usually you get something like a side stitch when, you know, you go out too fast. It looks like that's what happened. I feel like all runners make similar excuses. We're always finding something to convince ourselves we left time on the table so we have to get into another build. I was expecting worse in what they wrote. I think it's the way they skipped from 2:16 to 2:10 is what doesn't sit well with me. I could see running a race like that & saying I have a sub-2:15 in me.

NERunner,
We've got a runner like that here in Neb. Local hero who makes excuses and calls people out on strava. Decent kid, but social media and immaturity don't mix.
the op is probably some crybaby who got beat by him in college and can’t hit the standard. lmao, rarely see such an embarrassing obsession revealed like this

thats the thing… he doesn’t have a coach or training group but does workouts with several groups in Utah and Arizona. bro is just tryna survive and hype himself up in the worst sport development system in the world.
Like… what kind of as***le person tries to pull down other people who are struggling to make it on their own.. not to mention his social media is obviously tongue-in-cheek… he seems like a nice guy actually..? op is the exact reason this site has a bad rep

LRC does, and it’s a shame. A bunch of have-nots wishing that they had the guts to go for something meaningful to themselves
I can’t believe what I am seeing from most people on here, but then again this is LetsRun. The kid ran 2:16 in his debut marathon with a side stitch. So yes I’d say 2:18 is probably pretty easy.
You guys hate so much on people. Also, I can’t believe people are bringing up his college times as if they don’t help his case! He ran 28:40! How many of the current 2:10-2:12 guys ran that fast in college? Not as many as you’d think. Most of the people who post on here were never actually great runner themselves, and so their only view of runners are the select few who are famous. Well I’m here to tell you, you don’t have to break 4 in high school, win footlocker, or win NCAAs to go pro and run fast times. I ran 10:00 for the 3200 in high school and now I’ve run 29:16 for my 10k debut just a couple years later. I believe that I can run 2:08-2:10 someday and I hope this guy does too. And for the record, I would imagine 2:18 would be pretty easy for a 28:40 guy

Bingo. Just as 2:18 should be easy for a 63:1X half guy
