David Roche GOES HOME DEVASTATED from Western States

All I know is that Maurten coordinated their relaunch announcement that their bicarb is back in stock with the claim that Roche used it to win Leadville. All scientific.

Hey Claude, can you remind us about the science behind bicarbonate?

”Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) can help with certain types of endurance performance, particularly for high-intensity activities lasting roughly 1-7 minutes. Here’s how it works:
The Mechanism:
During intense exercise, your muscles produce lactic acid, which lowers muscle pH and contributes to fatigue. Bicarbonate acts as a buffer, helping neutralize this acid buildup and potentially delaying fatigue.
Where It Helps Most:
• Middle-distance events (800m-1500m running, 4km cycling time trials)
• Repeated high-intensity intervals
• Sports with intermittent high-intensity bursts (like boxing rounds)
Where It’s Less Effective:
• Long, steady-state endurance (marathons, long cycling)
• Very short sprints (under 60 seconds)
• Low-intensity activities”

David just posted one of his most pathetic Instagram stories in memory. He's basically begging Adidas Terrex to sponsor him. This dude is such a cringelord.

I can’t speak for everyone on here, but I beat him at western states. I received a lot of love during and after. peace.

I feel pretty awesome. Crushing western states and beating Dave was quite the ride. Sorry your boy had to go to therapy.

“Claiming to have beaten a guy that DNF’ed” and “loser” seem misapplied to a western states finisher. These are facts. Maybe you need to re-read the thread etc. and look up what DNF stands for. anyway, happy to give you some tips for your first ultra. Peace.

Cool, cool. thanks for stopping by and demonstrating you have a lot going on. back to polishing my buckles…. ;) peace

Most find his stuff funny and entertaining. You sound like you have no personality and open mindless. I saw that post today and laughed. It’s just his personality.

Are you the same guy on other thread claiming you beat him but won’t give your place and time?

How dare he not dox himself!

You want my address and credit card number too? I don’t want you sending me nudes and sh!t

All the David defenders just throw down ad hominem attacks, do you feel better about yourself talking sh1t to strangers online? We are criticizing (and making fun of) a runfluencer that makes money off scamming people and spreading unqualified advice. If all you guys got is calling us names, I think I prefer Claud (David)…

Your whole western states experience is based on someone else DNF'ing. Sad :(

You get so upset about strangers criticizing someone you don’t know… sad ;)

Sad that your whole experience was watching your idol sh!t the bed. Peace.
