Just to restate: the photo that David uploaded to his IG story yesterday of the ankle that he sprained from the 50k was actually a photo of his sprained ankle from Grindstone 2023
Someone please out this guy on IG or Strava. I don’t have IG and he blocked me on Strava otherwise I’d be all over it.
Had a look on his Strava earlier out of morbid curiosity and someone had posted a link to his old Strava activity with the previous ankle injury photo. That comment has since been deleted 👀.
Someone else has left a somewhat more direct criticism saying he's guilty of 'wanker' behaviour so I don't imagine that will stay up long either.
Someone mentioned Camille Herron earlier and that seems a somewhat fair comparison given all the shady shenanigans going on. Again, it's all relatively small beer in the grand scheme of things but getting called out for repeatedly lying is just not a great look for a coach; particularly given the love and positivity image he is attempting to portray. Just stop trying to purposefully mislead people and he'll stop getting called out for it.

Exactly. He brings it all on himself. I would have given him some respect if he just said “I’m not as fit as I thought I was”. He’s a pathological liar and he’s profiting off of it and misleading his coaching clients and the mass of low IQ followers he has scraped up from the bottom of the YouTube barrel.
BS on the Camille comparison. Camille purposely pressured race organizers to throw out the winning race results of people who broke her records.
David is just crafting an alternative reality, full of alternative facts. No one would care if I did this because I'm a nobody, but he purposely is hyping BS to the stratosphere and well: chickens do eventually come home to roost.
David sounds like he suffers from Camille Herron syndrome.
Maybe LuLu Lemon can sponsor him.
What's crazy about both of these people is that they have talent and potential to be very popular but hurt their image by doing things that don't make sense. Maybe it's compulsive behavior of some kind because I'm sure they've been warned before these things blow up big.

David IS a pathological liar. Like, okay, you DNF’d. Just say that. But no, it had to be because of his ankle, and THEN he has to post a picture of his ankle that’s actually a pic from 2023. Thats pathological behavior

Sorry, it's too much of a witch hunt without actually seeing the evidence that's been allegedly removed. It's far more strong of a case against him if there's something to actually show. I have to trust some rando on LetsRun? I'd rather pay David $150/month for "Awesome Sauce!" personalized coaching.

It’s not my fault David made the photo a temporary IG story
I can see David Roche getting top ten in Western States, hey why not? It'll be an hour or so off the top 3, but that's commendable. Tyler Green @ race age of 41 is who he should be racing against. Time waits for no man. If David decided to focus on WS 5 years ago and JW didn't exist, I could see him in top 3 no problemo. (edit: top 3, 5 years ago no problemo)

Or maybe he’ll “sprain” his ankle and have to drop out
I'm not sure why David thought he was going to hang with maybe the best 50k trail runner in the world. Eli was always going to smash the field if he was feeling good.
The delusion it would took to attempt the old picture thing is truly remarkable. There should be scientists studying him.

Scientists have already studied narcissism and deep insecurity

after someone mentioned on this thread today that he had sprained his ankle years ago, only then did I think that he had maybe faked the sprain now. By then the IG story was gone
It's fine -- but there's a lot of heresy -- I want a smoking gun. You can dislike someone's personality but none of y'all will go on the record saying David Roche personally done you dirty.

Stay scared!
Not sure what that means.
Okay, ask David to repost his picture from yesterday. Guess what, he won’t. Because he knows it’s from 2023
