Anyone watch Donato aka PoetWithPace? He's a really good age-group runner and is quite zany, a real character. Given that this is a YouTuber thread, I'm surprised he isn't mentioned more often as he was one of the original running YouTubers.
Dumbest Philly vid ever (so far). I love my physio because he explains things so well: "my knee hurts because it doesn't like the motion I put it through."

Probably only going to get worse as she scrapes the barrel for material to turn into videos while she can't run
Joe Greer reminds me of Bloberg. He had a stress reaction on his shin and deferred his prior marathon to NYC. You’d think with all that preparation you’d choose the appropriate shoes for you. That’s what happens when you’re chasing a vibe for aesthetic points over function. That’s beyond a beginners mistake. Pretty stupid if you ask me.
as for Griff dunkin or whatever his name is, he’s totally in Truetts jockers. Probably would pay to run downhill in the same brand of jeans as his doped our idol
"YouTuber Griff Duncan" here. I ran a 3:05 6 weeks later. And no, I never tried to rewrite the rules because it was "boring." Also, "a few weeks of training" was a 16 week build... Keep following along and watching instead of doing things yourself.
You're being summoned. Please tell us about your journey into triathlon, your Coros heart rate monitor issues, your steadfast refusal to wear a heart rate strap, and your commitment to downhill marathon PRs without caveat for course profile.
I wouldn't usually bite, but the melt who compares Bester to Lionel Sanders ...then says Sanders is self coached so never does well. I mean that's everything wrong with people today. Lionel has had bad races therefore must always do terribly. Let's give that just a little interrogation.
To be fair, the poster you respond to (whom you neglect to quote) says as follows: "Reminds me of the total love-in on SlowTwitch for that utter fool Lionel Sanders! Who like the imbecile Youtubers "self coaches" then wonders why he never does well..."
I agree with you Lionel has done well, but I also think he's not done as well as he should or could consistently given his physiology. It's also widely speculated in elite triathlon circles that he's juiced to the absolute gills, and if that's true he has really s*** the bed. He's a nutcase former drug addict, tries to coach himself, refuses to listen to professional advice, maintains unhealthy eating habits, constantly overdoes it and somehow receives excessive adoration on slowtwitch for his foibles. The poster you're responding to isn't off base.
I agree the comparison to these male running YouTubers is a stretch. Lionel is a legit professional closer to Alex Yee than he is to Ari Klau; however, he comports himself in his sport more like Phily Bowden than he does like Clayton Young.

What is great me about Joe Greer's recap posts on Instagram re his DNF is the multiple other people saying the Asics Metaspeed Ray caused the same crippling blisters in the same spot. You would know about this if you researched the shoe or, you know, ran a considerable distance in it before you knotted it up for a marathon.

Speaking of all things Bester, has anyone seen how much he is charging for his next "camp"? Also at his Adidas sponsored run yesterday, apparently he was charging £5 for a photo
Philly has managed to make 5 dramatic videos on...a freaking runner's knee.
She overtrained, knee couldn't handle it. Stop going to 5 different doctors/physios, taking MRIs, searching for the best radiologist in the country, obsessing over every minor discomfort in adjacent tendons, etc.
It's literally in her last video before the injury: she was doing 3 workouts + hard long run every week, 50% more mileage...Literally THE most common overtraining injury is runner's knee! This whole saga is a surreal case study on ADHD, dramatism and her entourage not daring to stop her nonsense.
He's loved by the Goggins type fan club, super conservative males who hate themselves deep down. Love an old ex druggie story and the whole Stay hard mentality cause daddy didn't love them and they need approval.
The drugs in Ironman are a disgrace, a woman bodybuilder Erin Thomson "ifbbpro" just placed 3rd over all, 1st AG and won her ticket to Kona in Malaysia. She has a pinned video on instagram talking about how her body is stopping responding to PEDS, right before her Ironman video. Numerous posts, comments and podcasts talking about PEDS. Its so tolerated they don't even need to try to hide it.
Philly seems to want to disclose that "her" physio is the best ....and the people reading the MRI this time are just amazing.
How passive aggressive towards her previous treatment team, especially when you consider the time away from running could end up around the same. She's ignoring the Odema and peripheral issues she's now experiencing.
The let's see where we are next week thing is likely just the physio not commiting and not telling her as it's going to take time.
I think it’s becoming fairly apparent that ALL the anti Bester & Floberg messages on here are just from one user with multiple anonymous accounts. I’d be very surprised if I’m wrong. Two of the most popular guys in the running sphere, eternally praised and adored elsewhere, only criticised here. Good to see so many (copious amounts) posters coming out in support of Bester in particular.
A fellow YouTuber/ running influencer with previous beef against both parties perhaps…
Interesting irony from Anya Culling - not qualified to coach coach at Runna, complaining that Puresport don't have the requisite research, expertise or qualifications in their chosen field.
Always found Puresport to feel quite gimmicky but feels a bit pot-kettle to be throwing about accusations of being unqualified

I think she is THAT ignorant and unaware that she isn’t qualified to coach running UNLESS overseen (in-person) by a qualified coach (CiRf / Athletics Coach equivalent). The LiRF is the lowest level of coaching accreditation in the UK, it allows you to lead sessions but only if you have your hand held by an actual qualified coach. It’s also an online questionnaire based course meaning literally anyone, even this pleb Anya can pass.

Please, for the culture, show us some evidence of him charging a fiver.
Woke up from my nap as the Believe in the Run crew were yapping about smoking and how bad it is and in the next sentence they talk about getting drunk after their marathon..and the other evenings before. What's with Americans and alcohol? Why is it so normal? Or is that just BIR? They do realize smoking and alcohol=the same toxic unhealthy category?! Who runs marathons and drinks? Eww. At least Thomas wasn't there this week lol
