I’m intrigued by this one - Fry’s recent 63:35 is staggeringly good - not to mention the crazy progression. This would also suggest that he perhaps might be in 2:12 (high) shape over the full marathon, especially considering he appears to convert quite well.

Fry’s progression needs studying - slightly suspect no?

Maybe I’m naive, but if he was utilising substances (beyond tilda rice and Nomio) I can’t imagine it is that easy to come across PEDs on the corner of Battersea park!? So what do people think he is actually doing/taking? Is he just genuinely talented?

He's in Ruth Chepngetich's WhatsApp group.

the only requirement to join them is to stick it through the hole for 10 minutes every tuesday and give Jack Millar kudos for his run to the train station. it helps if you have a job in the city but they allow battered old dogs like T.Pain into the club if they excel at after training activities

this is his favourite line to make it seem like he has any idea what hes talking about before dropping the most diabolically uniformed opinions that hes half read/heard someone else say and totally misunderstood the concept.

Goddard vs Spencer Matthews for the worst bits of running/endurance media ever created

Spencer's stuff isnt that bad

Matt Fox after trashing this forum because it speculates that some influencers might be repeat 💉 users speculates that all elite runners are doping. I do think anybody who collaborated with Fox, who was arrested for transporting a WADA-banned drug into Japan (albeit cannabis, it's still on the list of PEDs), should be out of competition tested.

Maybe on your feed but Lululemon has done $10 billion annual rev vs On’s $2 billion and they barely even have a shoe range so whilst the latter have Federer mincing about in a pair of dad shoes, the former is a giant in comparison.

Floberg screenshot of Strava prediction of 1:10 for HM and 2:30 and Coros predicting 1:11 and 2:26. He's showing us his fitness. He is just so damn for right now and ready for core memory. He just ran an all out 1:14 but, Strava and Coros think he's in 1:10 shape so they must be right. Tough course in Austin. On a flat course that 1:14 is a 1:08 all day long.

Sabriah training for a 10k now as well. Family running, bro. Core memory

Truett is growing on me not gonna lie….

My first impression of him was that he was an arrogant douche.

Still think he’s pretty arrogant but there is some self deprecating wit in there too.

And his running achievements are no doubt impressive. Running a marathon in jeans must be pretty grim. Let alone a 2:38 one.

And seems to do some decent charity work without shilling (otherwise know as doing a Fenton) everything under the sun. Or claiming to be a coach, understating training yada yada

He is no longer on my least liked list.

On an unrelated note, Sweat Elite comments on a lot of the running YouTuber videos. They used to have some good videos with elites from memory but seemed to stop with that

I used to quite enjoy the Sweat Elite podcast but I absolutely can't stand that Luke guy. He talks so much rubbish it's unbearable.

Truett has grown on me, too. His latest video about the Austin Marathon was his best so far. I was more raw and felt super humble while showing generosity and support to others.

What also stood out to me, was how he included a snippet of another podcast (Rideout) he was on the day before the marathon. I'm 20ish minutes into it, and I feel like it's worth a watch, especially for those who've had really harsh opinions about him and/or want him to fail, crash and burn.

Here it is, for anyone interested:
