Did Mike Rossi (viral marathon dad) cheat his way into Boston?

I agree and that makes sense if we were talking about a normal person. But Mike has the ability to not care or know that people think he is a cheating fool.

Then he would be a complete sociopath. His cheating is so obvious that probably his immediate circle already knows the whole story. The aggressive stuff online is probably a desperate reflex.

iiagtr is richie.

Well, someone will always be monitoring. Not a running thought goes into Kip's brain without LRC calling him out. Mike killed his running career before it ever took off.

mile/5k to marathon, I mean

That was kinda my point. I know people who can do a sub 6:30 mile that are no where near 1:40 half or 3:30 marathon because they've amazing over the short distance but not over the long and vise versa.

Or because haven't tried running more than 10mpw.

6:30 mile is AMAZING?

LOL!

My point is that a 6:30 mile is not that amazing.

Apologies for more WAVA but 1 mile in 6:30 for a hypothetical 40 year old man is a WAVA of 60.39, which is considerably less than amazing.

He is without question a sociopath. After the Boston bombing, where everyone else saw a tragedy, he saw an opportunity to promote himself. A really twisted way of thinking.

But in his head it's heroic

There seems to be a lot of that going around these days.

LOL!

There is no need for the BroJos to make another offer for a one mile time. They've already made really easy targets for a 3:11 marathon to hit and it will be telling when he never approaches them. The addition of a one mile time challenge doesn't add anything else, it's basically preaching to the choir. Anyone that isn't convinced by his failure at the other distances isn't going to suddenly see the light based on Mike's one mile time (since these people would have to be massively ignorant of running or completely delusional).

The craziest part of this whole thing is that Mike wouldn't just let it die.

Is today opposite day? I am the voice of reason, defending the committee of independent experts, who found no evidence whatsoever for any wrongdoing of the falsely accused, against the trolls here.

I'm pretty sure that's what's driving smartrunnr and (AKA?) finisher medaL.

Wow, abingtonrunner2, just wow. Such a degrading insult, and brutal death threat from you, again! What's wrong with you? Are still mad that the committee went with witnesses and photos instead of listening to your absurd trolling?

I think we need pest control in here.

Obviously some people here are simply upset that Mike just ran a 3:23. They like to pretend that such an achievement is physically impossible, because otherwise their own times would look too slow.

Yasso 800's don't work for me either, they give me a an average of 3:49 but I'm pretty sure i'll never do a 3:49 marathon.

Why don't you ask Mike for training advice? Although he doesn't have much talent, he still got a 3:11, and now a 3:23 while injured.

You aren't helping since you have admitted to training with Rossi which emphatically places you in the hobby jogger / RW crowd as well.
