I don't know in what world he thought he was in even 1:35 shape, let alone 1:30. I can spend 5 minutes going through his Strava and know for a fact 1:45 is a reach. This is one of the most delusional people in the world of running YouTube.
People on the reddit hobby jogger forums tout this guy as knowing his stuff. But I tend to agree with the opinion that he's not qualified to recommend shoes for serious runners. When you're a 1:55 half marathoner, how can you expect to be happy with a shoe that is more suited to 65-80 minute people? It's just a world of difference.
That said, there is nothing more annoying than runners who think they are fast trying to gatekeep shoes. Griff Duncan recently reshared a reel from a guy saying super carbons made no sense for a 9:30 pace marathon. Griff upped the ante saying only 8:00 pace is appropriate for super shoes. This dude ran a 3:06 falling downhill, and he's trying to say only people at his level need these shoes. What an absolute clown.
