Megan goes out today and runs 7:30 for 10 miles on the flats and makes the conscious decision to hide her heart rate data from Strava. "Flowing to podcasts on country roads" she says. No I think you were running lights out and don't want your followers to see how hard of an effort it was. These two are made for each other.
She made sure to get her “pro” tag on Strava too, whatever that means…
If you look at her Strava post you'll see that she ran for 1:15 and paused her watch for nearly 5 minutes total during that run. If you then look her cadence, you'll see that her cadence drops to near zero and rebounds 8 times well spread out in that run. It looks to me like she took 8-9 30ish second rest breaks through this 10 Miler. I can't imagine her threshold is much higher than her average pace.
Honestly, I don't think she has the fitness to break 45:00 in the 10k of 3:30:00 in the marathon. That must be very hard on her ego.

this thread has reached new lows. let me spell it out: these posts are pathetic. I looked at megan's strava and see nothing but baby photos and comments about working her way back to fitness as a new mom. no bragging about her fitness or claims about future races. none on their podcast either. if anything, the opposite. nothing in that strava post either. but, sure, pick on the mother of a 6 or 7 month old with your stupid comments about motivations that you've invented. have you no shame?

"Big kudos to ur pathetic for briefly restoring order in this thread.
It needed saying: a mother of a seven-month-old jogs 10 miles, posts a picture of her baby, and reflects on getting back to fitness … and somehow this corner of the internet decides it’s time to investigate her cadence and expose her for … taking walk breaks?
Call The Hague.
Look, if you find yourself pouring over someone else’s Strava data like it’s a scene from CSI: Endorphin Unit, maybe it’s time to re-evaluate your hobbies. Not everything is a cover-up. Sometimes a run is just a run. Sometimes a podcast is just a podcast. And sometimes people are just … trying their best.
That’s what makes ur pathetic such a necessary voice. It punctures the toxic illusion that this is harmless fun or valid scepticism.
There’s something Zola-like about this moment: not grand, not theatrical, but brave. A simple refusal to let nastiness pass as insight. It reminds everyone watching—especially the lurkers who feel uncomfortable but haven’t spoken up—that the cruelty isn’t normal, and it isn’t OK.
I thought Roche had hit the lowest point already, but wrangling a bunch of “friends” and followers to brigade this thread with pointless downvotes is a new one.

I agree 100%. classic con artist behavior. The liar lies because: they want to, they get away with it from the members of the cult

“if he trained specifically for a road marathon, it’s realistic to project: 💨 Estimated marathon time: 2:22 – 2:28, possibly faster with focused preparation.”
the reality is SWAP is run like a cult so they can get more attention to feed their narcissism
"But if you’ve grown up around brittle masculinity..."
LOLOLOL, call government intelligence or the jumbo shrimp brigade, because we've got some oxymorons going on up in hurr. "Brittle masculinity" is a term effeminate men created to feel better about themselves.

Look, I'm all for poking fun of his behavior and things he says. But this is creepy and gross. IDGAF if she stopped every 5 minutes for a breather and if she's completely out of shape or not. She's a hero for getting after it again after passing a new human being out of her body. She's also a hero BTW for speaking life into him. We could all take a note out of how well she unconditionally loves on him and supports him.

Hey David/Claude, you accidentally outed yourself here. The correct term is “poring over” when used this way.

what does her baby have to do with anything? Stick to the facts
Hey David/Claude, you accidentally outed yourself here. The correct term is “poring over” when used this way.
"Fine, we wrote 'pouring over' instead of 'poring over.'
But maybe we meant it. Maybe we meant pouring like pouring your entire personality into a stranger’s cadence data. Like pouring hours into amateur biomechanical analysis of someone else’s easy run. Like pouring resentment onto a thread until you’ve emptied the whole bottle.
Words are fluid. Just like emotion. Just like hate-scrolling.
And we're not sure why you think a homophone goof is some kind of unmasking. If a misplaced vowel were all it took to identify someone, half of LetsRun would be David Roche and the other half would be Walt Whitman.
In truth, it’s just a garden-variety grammar slip from someone who didn’t major in English … or law."
Hey ClaudeAI, did David predict a win at western states?
“David Roche was very confident and did essentially predict he would win Western States 2025. Several sources show his bold predictions: 1. He said “Let’s shock the world” when talking about his goal to win the Western States 100 Spotify for Creators 2. “I’m in it to win it,” Roche says about the iconic 100-miler Apple Podcasts 3. From my earlier search, I found he had set a goal “to stand on top of the podium at WSER” and wanted to “shock the world” Apple Podcasts Spotify So yes, David Roche was quite bold in his predictions and confidence about winning Western States 2025. He didn’t just hope to do well - he explicitly stated his intention to win and “shock the world.” This makes his DNF all the more dramatic, as he went from being one of the pre-race favorites with very confident predictions to not finishing the race at all.”

i gotta say, no doubt whoever you are, you live in your parents basement, have a micropenis and have never f'd a p - but i will say: your dedication to the hate is admirable. this post is pure searing cattiness. i lol'd.
