"Refreshing to see a bit of light, instead of just heat, in this thread. Weirdflex’s contributions feel grounded in reality—rare here—and the insider perspective doesn’t hurt 😉.
More clear insight like this, less endless rehashing, please."
As has been said, David is a good runner. Terrible racer. He will do well today because he can go out run on his own. Toss someone else fast in the field and he would fall apart and likely drop or get “hurt”. Good for him for padding that Ultrasignup percentage though.

If you can run within 5 hours of David at Leadville I’ll listen to you and take you seriously
Doubt they train nearly hard enough - more likely they are sitting in their mom's basement glued to this thread.
Glued to this thread, listening to his podcasts, watching his videos, stalking his Strava and instagram...then racing to letsrun to post a bunch of cr-p about him. It's bizarre. Normal people don't spend all their time consuming content that they supposedly hate. For example, I don't spend hours every week sitting on my ass watching anti-vax conspiracy videos on Youtube, then railing against them in the comments. Somehow Roche is a threat to them. I don't get it.

1000%. He's an exceptional runner and I've said that all along. But he is one of the most annoying humans on earth and also just such a loser when he is actually challenged. In the 50K at Big Alta that triathlete made quick work of him and he legit faked an injury rather than finish. Clown behavior.
Can he win Leadville and break his own course record? Sure, probably. Will he ever win Western States? No. There is no way. He can't handle his own emotions when he gets passed. Total loser, this guy Roche.

Ha “that triathlete” is Eli F#%king Hemming. Now I know you’re trolling

Exhibit A of the bizarre obsession with Roche that I was referring to above. Btw, it's an insult to Eli Hemming to refer to him as "that triathlete." He won the OCC at UTMB last year and is arguably the best 50km runner in the world.
There was no evidence Roche faked his injury. That was yet another weird conspiracy theory (based on an old photo) that was well disproven though of course the stalkers didn't believe it.
We'll see on WSER. He may not be good enough. But plenty of elite runners have had a terrible outing, even DNF, at Western States and later came back and did well.
