David Roche GOES HOME DEVASTATED from Western States

What all you haters fail to realize, at least according to the most recent Roche Co. Podcast, is that David would win and be the most dominant ultra runner to ever walk the planet if he wasn't so intelligent. Because of his superior intellect, he can't endure suffering like all the other mental rejects out there who are better than him. Apparently, they are all too dumb to understand that what they are enduring.

My word, these two are some of the most special individuals ever. How anyone can listen to the garbage that comes out of their mouths and take them seriously, or hold any level of respect for them, is beyond me.

David deserves all the embarrassment he’s experiencing. I do not feel bad for him at all. If he cannot tolerate what comes with being a public figure, then do not make yourself so public. To be fair, however, Megan might be worse. They are children who haven’t had to really grow up. Maybe they could just focus on their family for a while and stay off of social media to process things in a more healthy way.

This forum picks people apart ad nauseam. There's nothing left to pick apart about this guy and his family. Give it a rest.

Remember Grizzly Man? The guy that thought he could befriend Grizzly Bears, but acted like a reject from Pee Wee's Playhouse with how he couldn't relate to his adult peers? Somehow DR reminds me of him. Anyways,

That man is honestly a saint and a survivor of a terrible upbringing. You know what Simmons famously did that's completely unlike DR? He kept is private life PRIVATE. Brought the stoke to the job, helped out so many people, and then went tf home and did his thing.

Be more like Richard Simmons.

Also, who follows him so religiously as an athlete? Did anyone legit think he was really in contention for even top 3? Is he really competitive with Killian or several incredibly talented and accomplished 20-something runners lol??

He's acting like he let a bunch of people down... who tf cares bro, move on

One "science" guy calling out another "science" guy.
I am so tired of that whole "science" thing in running when it's just hokuspokus to sell some coaching to people who don't need coaching.

I agree although I do find it funny seeing the charlatans fighting each other over the high ground when it comes to advice. Sage Canaday, Jason Koop, and Roches were all caught up in the Spring Energy fiasco and Koop definitely won that round.

Koop also clearly won the battle over Western States elite coaching as his athlete took a win while Roche lost the 2nd and 7th place finishers from his roster on practically the eve of the race (though continues to falsely list them as SWAP athletes on his website, true to form).

He did at one point practice law but not longer. I don’t believe he’s also barred Colorado or Cali so he hasn’t practiced in a while. It did give him the expertise to couch his phrases so there’s plausible deniability when called out.

much like Megan using her md/phd to generate an “appeal to authority” fallacy when mis-representing the science they are using to justify their nonsense. I’d go one further and say her PhD in epi doesnt really even have much applicability to understanding sports science other than the skills needed to evaluate literature. It’s not like she has 6 years of hardcore physiology training. Epi is basically applied statistics in a biomedical setting
