No wonder no one wants to put up with you and you probably got cut for being annoying rather than slow
Then what is the point of the statement of "too much, too soon"?
Is doing too little, for too long a foreign concept to you? You suck at running, you've sucked at running for a while now, why not try something to improve.

People in r/running think you are stupid
What this guy suggests isn't bad advice. At some point, you're going to have to jump in or admit you're just running for general fitness to yourself. Maybe you don't need to do 90 minutes yet, but you should get out and explore, see how far you can go and what you can find.
r/running is filled with terrible advice for actually getting fast. Finishing a marathon, sure, they'll get someone there. Actually competing, not so much. r/running is so bad redditors had to make r/advancedrunning, where you'll find advice about on par with letsrun
I actually think you need to chill on the messageboard use. At this point, its time to train for a while and gain some experience, so you'll have questions and topics that will help you to improve. How do I know this? On no site, would anyone have suggested you train solely in your yard for months on end.
Run, have fun - explore, see how far you can go. Develop some routes and see how fast you can run them. Run on roads, trail, and hard packed sand on the beach if you want, not in your yard. Do time trials of 800, 1 mile, 3000, or 5000 every few weeks, varying the distance from time to time, thats all the advice you need. You're not ready for a more intricate training plan just yet.
How am I not ready for an actual training plan? People do workouts in HS XC right from the beginning, where many freshman can't break 7 in the mile at the beginning of the season.

Listen to the guy, you are not fast enough that a conventional training plan will help you! You need to change things and this is a great way.

You literally just criticized my advice by saying it was too much too soon. Now you are comparing how people in HS do workouts right from the beginning. Do you truly not realize how thick skulled and slow witted you are?
Go out, jog for 20 minutes, do 50 minutes of fartlek, then jog 20 minutes. Do that everyday, then come back in sixth months. There's your training plan right there. Now shut up and report back in six months.

I'd venture to guess it was just a fluke and unrelated to the volume of running you were doing. Try it again. You won't get hurt if you aren't scared to try.

How is getting a stress fracture a fluke?
Maybe it was because you weren't getting enough rest, maybe it was poor diet, maybe you bumped your leg on something and hurt it worse than you thought, thereby developing a stress fracture. That's what I mean by fluke -- not directly related to volume of running.
Try again, do some variation of what I've suggested, and watch how much you improve. It will be a snowballing effect because you will get progressively more excited by the progress you're making.
How many times in the past year have you actually tried something different? You're just doing the same stupid thing over and over and expecting things to change.

I thought david 45 proclaimed Reddit to be a dead and useless site last weekend? He still seems rather attached to it. Not surprising as he cannot seem to part with the past or work boldly towards a future.

Well there you have it. If you aren't willing to try, you're never going to improve. You're a hopeless, sad sack of a troll. Good luck with breaking 6:50.
How do you know it was just the running?
All of these could have contributed:
It could have been from poor technique. (You’ve never had a coach)
It could have been from poor nutrition. (Yours sucks)
It could be from poor fitting shoes (you’ve said you’ve never had a fitting before)
It could be from poor sleep (you stay up way too late on these boards and games)
It’s not just from running. Recovery matters.

No. I do eat well, focus on my form, wear proper running shoes, and get 8 hours of sleep

David, you SUCK at running. Why do you refuse any advice from people that are trying to help you?

I just said I already do those things. I am listening to you.

You've been posting for three hours straight to day you knobhead. He wasn't talking about running for 3 hours straight.
About five and a half hours nonstop. I wonder if there is a lunch break or he just eats while he continues his work.

You are particularly strongly attached to many things, among them: being a crybaby loser troll, slow, stupid, dimwitted, stubborn, generally useless, among many other things.
