Runner's World publishes yet another piece on Wetmore and seems upset that he hasn't been fired yet

Not a chance in hell. Runners World stopped being about running at about 1974. Black and white. It used to be about racing, training, and results.

You don't understand the demographics here.

What you see here are a bunch of mal-adjsted punks. Perhaps 30 of them. They spew 95% of the noise. The great majority of LRC readers are knowledgeable (or at least want to be) and care about the sport.

Great Post

Kids are soft. If they fail it is always someone else’s fault. If they are successful it is in spite of how rough they had it and how they overcame.

As one of the slower runners on my college team. Why would the coaches go out of there way to coddle me? You think the 3rd string linebacker gets one on one time with the head coach?

Idk how's that going for you? I was good enough to get a full scholarship to any D1 school I wanted. I have to say jokes on the CU program. Paid for 4 years and I didn't have to run a step thanks to their incompetence. I ended up doing just fine thanks. Hope you're still hobby jogging

Sorry to hear that. Mark is a great coach, great mentor, and very giving of his time based on my experiences years ago.

The Sensus or vibe of much of your statements is; because he did this n that 100 years ago we shoulder/could not punish him. Disagree! Its 2023 n thats what we, we do punish people for past misconducts/crimes. We dig n find what they did. Why are u letting wetmore get off the hook?

I think they are just procrastinating the whole process n Colorado uni n wetmore will mutually terminate his contract this year.

...he does not have that many more years to live anyways...

Should’nt say nasty, miserable things like that…karma just gonna getcha

Agree with this post 100 percent. It’s about 30 posters punks…and it won’t change

And who are you? I’m being serious

Pics or shens

Not nice but what I will point out is this has a feel of CU looking for an excuse to get rid of Wetmore, or not extend his contract.

Times have changed, and while he probably didn't do anything wrong -- teaching and coaching students in 2023 is a completely different ballgame, given all the sensitivities these days.

What’s a Runners World?

Sounds like you overcame... Didn't have the best relationship with my coach last 2 years of college. But minus a few sleepless nights and one conversation with them I didn't let it change my life's trajectory. I now make 2x their salary run faster than they ever did or any of their much more talented athletes. but also don't think they were/are an awful person/coach. It is very true that my coach had favorites and often those favorites had nothing to do with your work ethic or the times they ran. People are fallible I sure am not perfect but I was an adult I, kept working hard in both running and school and doing that turned my life around. Yes Now I am hobby jogging and loving it stop shaming people for the life they want to live! Do I think my coach needs to be fired or even investigated for what happened while I was there? Nope no I do not. Helped me learn one very important lesson that helped me professionally at work: You sometimes don't get the promotion/raise you desire while others who don't desire those things get them. There really isn't a positive to that but the earlier someone realizes that life isn't fair and often people are the reason the better... It allows you to be able to get away from them. it's freeing to not have them be in control of your life and wellbeing It allows you to get a new job instead of staying around. Sometimes It allows you to then go watch them fail once they no longer have hard workers working for them.

I'd bet that some of the people who took the lifetime subscription offer in the 70s are still reading it just to get their moneys worth.
