That OMTIU account is getting worse and worse. I don't even follow it but it appeared in my suggested/ unasked for on my timeline - the comments are so depressing.
They were popping off at people who got tattoos with their times on it (from strava not chip). I mean I wouldn't do it but what harm does it do for gods sake, these aren't olympians. they are hobby joggers and its THEIR BODY they are tattooing. And the gleeful comments are just gross
At the start when it was big influencers, or people with brand deals and responsibilities or things to gain from the running community I could get behind it. But now it's just weird targeting randomers to keep feeding the content machine, and posting weird official notices to people to prove that they value honest effort and such bs.
Meanwhile continues to ignore Ben Parker - argument that the 2:34 is beyond your remit is weak anyway imo if you want to say you care about integrity in the influencer community that's peak bad practice. But Runna is posting yet more of his non-pbs, few days ago in their meet the coaches section they've got him as having a 15:59 pb for 5K. Obviously hasn't run that in any official measured race, hasn't even run it on Strava. Will OMTIU touch it? Course not
