They are solid hobbyist times, but he's never been a pro athlete like he claims. Feel free to chime in with PROOF of faster times Barrett Dahl, the430miler.
I've watched all of Barrett's YouTube videos, seen thousands of his posts and the only thing I feel strongly about is that he is completely incapable of coaching someone in the 10000. He needs to keep his long distance opinions to himself. Middle distance is another story though.
He races fairly regularly, but he has never done anything to write home about because he doesn't do the training. Too much time trolling.
All of his claims about the times he says he has run are lies, as is the claim about being a coach.
If you watch his videos, it's cleat from his body language that even he doesn't believe his own lies.
I got the exact opposite from watching his YouTube channel. What I inferred was is that this a 40 year old man with autism who fully believes every single thing that he's saying.
I think a lot of it is acting. Also there are very tells where he lies, but then looks away guiltily.
If he can convince the shrinks he can avoid getting an actual job.
Mr. coach Dahl, Matt London is a guy who posts on this forum perennially. He's a character, he has a YouTube channel called John James 21 with an internal signifier for his channel, John_James1302.
I get you, I waste way too much time keeping up with what other people are doing. My name's Isaac, I just think it would be cool if we could have some of the posters from LRC get a meetup to race, make some YouTube content.
Matt always posts kinda crazy stuff on here, like his obsessive & arbitrary distance sprints which he hand times with oddball conversions, or with his threads where he talks about how macho and strong he is lifting weights, or about how he is at his strongest when he goes to get a suntan more often. I'm not sure if Matt is just a troll who is knowingly trying to rile people up in a frenzy, but he is certainly an interesting character.
I am a lot younger than you or Matt, but I'm aiming for some lofty goals in the sprints, then moving up to middle and longer distances to set PRs.
it would be cool, maybe we could all do an all-comers meet sometime
An NFL stadium holds about 80,000 people. There's no way that more than 1 individual in that stadium is capable of running a 430 mile.
An accurate number as far as global population is concerned is that 1 out of every 100,000 people have the potential ability to run a 430 mile or faster
my university had 13000 students and at least 10 that were capable of running a 4:30 mile... do you see how poor your measure of statistics are?

Oh yeah, I remember you went over your immigration stance on one of your Youtube videos. Spoiler alert - he does not agree with MAGA on that particular issue.
