You all hate him cause you ain’t him. He’s rich *****. Hes faster than most of you all too. Probably got a massive package as well. His kids going to be faster than your kids.
that's why I don't understand his new youtube video titled "let's shock the world".
Setting aside that you're spoiling the surprise / "shock" part by telegraphing everything (lolz)...
the video includes his 6 x 1-min surges where they...put the live per-mile pace in the caption when it hits sub-4. I'm not a scientist like the roches so help me out: does hitting 3:52 pace at the end of a one-minute surge equal sub-4 shape? I sure hope that wasn't a response to this thread because if it is it has a draw-on-the-hurricane-map-with-a-sharpie-to-prove-the-haters-wrong flavor to it.
back to the larger picture though. posting constantly online about how you're going to TOTALLY CHANGE THE GAME all feels like when old dudes on facebook post pictures of tom hardy or peaky blinders with quotes like "just because I'm peaceful doesn't mean I'm weak" or whatever. No one's taking you seriously uncle rico, log off for a bit.
and yeah, david has haters. he's gained them over time as a consequence of the way he acts. that's how it works. if you're fake, people will see through it, especially if you make yourself so ubiquitous.

The thing about that workout is he barely shows himself running at all

In the VERY brief moments he does show himself running it’s very clear that is not the stride of a sub 4/sub 14 5k runner
ill bet my life savings that David would never do a flotrack type video of a track workout of his, because he knows he cannot run even close to the times he claims he is running on the treadmill
He has a YouTube channel. Like other athletes, he could actually film the entire workout, with full transparency of data. It’s obvious that he is super eager to post more and more and more content about himself, but he only has Megan record 10-second snippets of him doing strides outside her hospital window (weird how she happened to catch that!) or of him sprinting on his bike trainer, for examples. Also, his fastest strides are always done on that slight downhill. Is that the point? Does he tell all athletes to do that?

it looks like a good workout for the type of athlete David is, which means about 5 flat pace for the 3 minute sections and about 4:30 pace for the 1 minute sections.
But then how does he rectify this with his treadmill workouts that make it appear that he's a sub 28 10k runner (and he goes out of his way to make them appear this way)
Also I think it should be pointed out that he is a carrier for the hemochromatosis gene which means he basically won the genetic lottery, he can operate at the level of a doper without actually doing anything illegal.

Haha! I have that gene too. 23andMe said for me to just watch how much iron I consume as a supplement. Maybe I should try the rest of his supplementing regime to see if I too can have such a breakthrough. Or maybe I can ask his wife for albuterol? Kidding. Kidding. I don’t want Roche fans to get their panties in a bunch.
In the longest running segment of that video he runs 64m downhill in 11 seconds - being very charitable with all measurements. That's 4:37 pace, which to my eye looks about right. The captions says he's running 3:52 pace.

Okay I see it. Even if that is 3:52 mile pace, all that means is that he ran a 29 second 200m.

That’s cool. Not hating on having a genetic gift but it’s just funny to me how much credit he gives to ketones and other unproven methods when it turns out he has a superior ability to store iron and transport oxygen. Of course living at altitude, supplementing iron, heat training as well as dedicating every waking moment to yourself will also help a bit…

Why didn't this help him for the first 10+ years of his running career? Does it only kick in when your hit 36?

It did help him…to be in about 30 flat 10k shape.
trail and ultra running does take time to figure out and runners over 30 often do well in those events.
So it makes sense that a former 30 flat 10k runner would become a really good ultra runner.
What doesn’t make sense is him suddenly pretending at 36 that he’s a sub 4 miler and sub 28 10k runner

Nothing makes sense here. This is all some youtube theatre for the unwashed masses. Science and speed is all overrated when it comes to ultras. But we will see this year when he has to run the blazing hot canyons at Western State.
