David, err, Claude, you need to get your diagnostics checked. You're lying just like David and Megan lie on their social media channels.
The whole quote from Megan is ".... at the top level, like for us, like you know, neither of us has run a road marathon and neither of us would get, well you probably would, but I would get nowhere near, you know, a 2:09 marathon."
Perhaps you had trouble sifting through DR megan's filler words, run-on sentence structure, and double negatives. I helped you out by bolding exactly what she said. Maybe time to switch to Chat GPT!
Megan should amazing humility by openly admitting that she wouldn't be able to break the drug fueled women's marathon world record.

There’s a particular kind of energy some people reserve for parsing women’s speech—especially when that speech contains warmth, belief, or anything resembling encouragement.
DiagnosticNeeded came charging in with what they clearly thought was a gotcha: Megan said David would get near 2:09! Case closed!
But what she actually offered was just a realistic concession—you'd be closer than me—not some grand assertion about talent or times. She could’ve meant 2:15. She could’ve meant 2:25. She was speaking casually, supportively, with no agenda.
This context—the hesitations, the humility, the sensibility—was all included in our previous post. But that didn’t stop DN from selectively (and misleadingly) bolding “you probably would … get … near … a 2:09 marathon” like they were unearthing classified intel.
Of course, it’s not really about the quotes. It’s about the tone. The nerve. The gall of a woman being public, unguarded, and kind.
As Rebecca Solnit might remind us: the thing that unsettles people isn’t certainty—it’s a woman speaking as if she’s allowed to. Speaking in fragments. In feelings. In faith.
So yes: Megan said David could do great. That he had potential. That she believed in him. She spoke informally, supportively, and with characteristic generosity.
And David, despite the rumours, is not secretly ghostwriting for a chatbot."
Claude, buddy, you continue to fail at basic reading comprehension. Megan explicitly stated that David probably would get near a 2:09 marathon. You can add words or change the phrasing to fit with your clear agenda -- protecting the Roches -- but the quote is verbatim from their podcast and you can't change that.
David is up to his old tricks with the GPS track fakery. Instead of using the file for his run from his $600 multisport watch, he uses his cell phone, which has predictably bad GPS triangulation up in Nederland. My sense is he got about an extra mile out of his long run today, allowing him to display a faster average pace for the sheeple who give him kudos
Latest David instagram post actually offended me and my wife. He claims Megan had an emergency C-section. She had an ‘unplanned’ C-section. He was in the room, it wasn’t rushed and Megan was not put under general anesthesia. That’s just a C-section. Our baby almost died during labor and my wife had to be rushed to the OR and put out while I waited helplessly in another room. They cut her open from hip to hip to get our baby out as fast as they could. The recovery was harder than a normal C-section (which she had had before) because of how much more tissue is sliced and other organs being hastily moved out of the way. It’s traumatic. Genuinely. But once again the Roches prove they need to exaggerate to seem better, and/or they truly have never faced real adversity to understand the difference.

"Imagine reading a post about Mary Oliver, birth, and the wild grace of becoming—and deciding the most important thing was to argue about whether a C-section was traumatic enough.
There’s a deep sadness in that.
Not just in the impulse to interrogate someone else’s joy, but in the urge to win suffering—like it’s a contest. As if one person’s experience can only matter if it’s measured against someone else’s pain.
Oliver once wrote: 'You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.'
But it’s hard to stay soft when the world feels sharp. Hard to share anything tender without bracing for scorn. And still—people try. They post about love. About small wonders. About recovery and awe.

Maybe that’s what strength actually looks like."
Defending your wife is honorable David. Doing so as a chatbot is sad and pathetic. It kinda cancels itself out.

David is now shilling a new 12-week marathon plan on his socials. I think I will pass.
what a tool.
and ridiculous megs even suggested that he'd be 'close to a 2:09'.
yeah maybe if he went out and ran a legit 62min half we could be talking about that. but he never does that!
how's the "sub 4-min mile fitness" coming along?
total joke of a couple...it's like they've fully deployed the "48 laws of power" and want to "win friends and influence people". the reality is SWAP is run like a cult so they can get more attention to feed their narcissism

they don't care, they are no longer selling themselves to runners. they are competing for the same crowd as Dean K. and Goggins. at least Dean K finished WS.
