Cole talks about hate watching certain influencers on the Sunday plodcast, which one of you is Cole lmao
I’ve only watched one of his videos and couldn’t get through it but think he came across well on the Sunday plodcast. Comes across pretty down to earth and relatable on how he described influencers

Another one like Alfie Manthorpe who just seems like a normal guy who is a good runner. A lot of jealousy on here from people who can't get near their times and probably can't get near a woman.
I like watching the training these youtubers are doing regardless of what level they are at or how unrealistic their goals are or how unsophisticated their training is. Seeing the mileage they are running, the splits they're hitting in workouts, the progress they are making, that's the good content. Generally it's all the other stuff that makes them insufferable. Like Temu Nick Bare's latest OT or die trying video. 5 minutes of actual running content with 10 minutes of cringe fortune cookie quotes. But I guess that's what pays the bills.
Two weeks post-Austin marathon and Truett is doing 120mpw with a track workout, followed by a hard long run the following day. He ends this video in a doctor's office, getting a scan of his ankle to see if he has a stress fracture and it is implied that he does. A predictable outcome of having a brand based on fragile masculinity disguised as toughness (It's just pain! Die trying!), needing to shill an array of products, hats, and supplements to cover up your TRT / peptide usage (buy the gels YouTube comment guys, that's the only thing stopping you from being a downhill king like Truett!), having a room temperature IQ and no understanding of training, and a calorie deficit that would make Matt Fox blush. Keep Yammering, Truett and Cam, hope that coordinated media / bot campaign works out for you.
Stress-fracture-gate claims another. You love to see it.
I just saw in the comments of the Truett video some guy admitting to a femur stress fracture after trying to train for a marathon on a "sustained caloric deficit". I get that there are a lot of newcomers to our sport with this influx of hybrid bro influencers, but seriously, wtf?

Hopefully Truett doubles down and goes full Goggins by continuing to train full-tilt on the fracture. That's how this works for these guys right? Pain is just weakness leaving the body! Ergo more pain means more weakness getting purged! Maybe throw on Jocko's "Good" video where he says that when your wife miscarries or a loved one gets cancer it's actually good and just making you tougher. Your unborn baby may not have been hard to kill but you sure as will be if you just spend all day in the weight room and take a few black and white photos of your blistered and chalky hands. Oh yeah, and do ultras and marathons too I guess. That's tough too! To all those boys gearing up to fight in the middle east, I hope you remember that a real man runs shirtless in a pair of jeans on downhill courses in St George, Utah. Maybe if you make it back from deployment, he can teach you a thing or two!

I'm cynical and skeptical enough to think these runfluencers hope for something medical so they can make content out of it. Doctor's visits, walking in a boot, the "comeback" etc. The content machine needs to be fed.
Take a shot every time Floberg claims he's the fittest he's ever been.
I love how he’s posting his 2:25 marathon prediction when he hasn’t even broken 16 in the 5k. Beyond clueless
A very strange workout indeed, 3 miles at 1:10 HM pace, then 4 x 1 mile at around 15k pace. This is a sub LT2 workout. Should be relatively hard but not " This was HARD" as Floberg said. SirPoc would knock 3 of these out a week. He also needed a 4 minute rest before the last mile rep - This is a man who is as fit as he's ever been?
RTJ claims he has lost ~ 5/10s per Km for 400m reps as per his strava. Also claims he loses fitness at a rate faster than anyone else.
Is there actually any way this is true and if not surely he needs to be seeing a sports psychologist to try and sort it out, i just fail to believe that physically you can lose that much speed/fitness from 1 week out.
I might be completely wrong as I'v never been in the position of a elite/sub elite but as a club runner it would take a few weeks out to dent fitness to this level for me.
Genetically, people can be low base/high responder, and that could be his case that he loses fitness very quickly.
I used to be the first. I could get back to fitness super quickly, then stagnate.

Yep. Just like a normal guy - but very fast - from my club running days in England (when running clubs were actually racing clubs).
Cole actually does the major club races, like the area/national 12 stage relays, which makes him very easy to relate to for me.
I will never understand all the people who glaze floberg. He is a clown and a scammer pocketing $50k from bs coaching services from clueless idiots who idolize him foolishly. Dude doesn’t even know how to train an is a wannabe chad bro who sold his soul to BPN like a suck up and feels the need to embellish his running and family life online in every faucet possible to prove to everyone he is a father, husband, and also a runner. So cool dude. You know someone is an egotistical insecure grifter when they feel the need to continuously broadcast how epic of a job they are doing at being a family man while also running. Hint: it’s not that hard when you don’t have a real job and are easily pocketing big income from typical bs photography e-courses and worthless coaching services that people could do themselves from a standard training book instead of being conned into $150 per month. Screw this “creative” fraud
Phily’s latest video is about the financial side of being a “pro” runner. The whole video she says a whole lot about nothing. Doesn’t discuss any numbers or earnings whatsoever and confirms what we already know - she’s more of an influencer than a pro
Philly's latest video was a completely disingenuous attempt to pretend she has the same worries as a traditional pro who’s injured. She’s acting as though she’s the spokesperson for professional runners.
Historically, Phily has repeatedly said she earns the majority of her income from YouTube activities and coaching. Yet, for the sake of the video, she flipped the narrative to imply she makes most of her money from a standard pro running contract.
Yes, no one wants to be injured, and it sucks. However, Phily, despite being injured and not having run an elite time for 18 months, has signed what we can assume is the most lucrative deal of her career. Ironically, her contract may well now be her biggest source of income - however, she's stated historically this is not the case! Furthermore, her YouTube engagement remains high. It’s almost as if she’s so desperate to identify as a pro that she’s stealing their the worries and stress a traditional pro would have nearing the end of their contract.

Yeah, and the bit about oh potentially I could have earned eye watering sums at Chicago that would have dwarfed all my other income. If you won a major I'm sure you would, and I think that's what she's saying. I don't think that she's really earning big money coming 10-15th at a marathon running a high 2:2X.
