I dont think anything at all you just wrote is true. I think he fully believes everything he is typing. There is no evidence that this individual has any college degrees. Hes been doing this for more like 21 years if you count his dyestat days. A troll would have stopped all this, revealed himself, or atleast attempted to debate us over it. He does none of the above. Signifying he's crazy and doesn't know the difference. We are wasting our time calling him out, as he probably doesn't even understand we are mocking him.
There is evidence he has attended college. At least a couple of undergrad institutions - but no evidence he graduated. The articles about the redskins shirt incident even mention his enrollment at Ft Lewis College. He attended more institutions before that. I would think of he kept returning to school after things didn't go well, it was for a reason. No I don't know if he graduated or not.
There is evidence he travels around for races. You will find real race results from Jacksonville to San Diego to Chicago for the guy. No I don't know that someone else isn't funding this, but at the frequency he races, I doubt it. Why would someone fly him all over the country in his 30s. That he started doing this at this age suggests advances in a career.
There were periods of significant length when he infrequently posted, suggesting actually being busy.
You guys want his story to be that he is totally dependent on others because he's different, but applying Occam's razor to what we know, or can glean from the Internet suggests otherwise. Based on his posts, he's not dumb. Maybe one day he'll open up and tell all, but until then I guess it's all just speculation.
Some good points in there. Let's not forget that he did run usatf xc last year and was in the results. I believe he cracked the top 20 which is pretty good for age 38.
You're right, he was a prolific poster pre-2010, then went quiet and reappeared a couple of years ago. There must be a reason for this, was he busy with his studies?

Hi Barrett. Anything else you want me to disprove in seconds?
Go to therapy, you pathetic, delusional loser. No one believes the stupid, easily disprovable lies you vomit up here, day after day.
So why is it you want Barrett to prove that he ran 3:59 first the 1500, yet you post anonymously and won't reveal your name or pr's? If anyone is lying, its likely NOT Barrett who has revealed his real identity. Its likely YOU who are lying.

No. He likely lives on his own and supports himself. He attended 2 or 3, 4 year universities and a community college, so he likely has a degree or at least enough college education for a decent paying job.
He's reasonably intelligent beyond not knowing (or maybe just not caring) about what is easily verifiable (or not) with a search engine. The whole persona may just be one elaborate trolling; we may be playing in to it with our posts, as he sits and waits to see if he achieves a high score for post count in his threads. There is no indication he believes he did the things he claims he did beyond his stating "not everything is verifiable on the internet".
Dude you sound like a fuking retard. I guarantee you that Dahl doesn't even have a high school diploma. Go watch his YouTube. This man has the i.q. of a 🐁

kind reminder that poster the430miler and the barrett dahl who he pretends to be are not the same person
The barrett dahl on YouTube is a real person. A innocent handicapped man. Hes probably not even a runner.
The430miler who posts on letsrun is not barrett dahl. Its an eccentric genius who assumed the identity of the guy on YouTube in order to make all of us believe he is that individual.
430 had me dooped for years. But now I know the truth and hopefully all of you now know the truth as well.
Hey Barrett it's you again! Good morning! I hope you enjoy wasting another day of your pointless life making up fake stuff on a website! Don't bother responding because I ain't gonna read it! Because I have a life and I do other things. Of this thread is still around tomorrow I might.

Im not Garrett. But whatever.
His pr's do not affect your life any. His coaching career does not affect your life any. Unless you are a couple and battling against his team, you shouldn't care about his coaching. Even then you should care about you own coaching so you can beat his team.
Same goes for you if you were a runner. You are obviously not a runner; but even if you were, then you would he focusing on bettering your own pr's so you can finish not-as-far behind Garrett in future races.
I was a 410 miler in highschool. So Garrett's 427 mile isn't that fast. The fact that all of you are appalled by his 427 is because that time is elite in YOUR minds because YOUR minds are accustomed to your own bodies always maxing out at 6:30 for the mile. Even during your youth.

The Barrett Dahl on YouTube absolutely is a runner and he has addressed bullying issues in his videos that make it clear that he would address it if someone on here was impersonating him.
I'm guessing you are Barrett Dahl, and this is a weak attempt to distance yourself (the real "you") from the ridiculous persona that you have created (430LIAR) that everyone knows is full of crap, likely so the stink of being a liar won't get all over the real you.
I'd guess that we will soon hear the YouTuber claiming that someone is impersonating him.
Regardless, 430, exactly WHERE do you coach? Both 430LIAR and Dahl, in videos, claim to be coaching in San Antonio. Yet, no athletic department will claim him.

Funny how fast you can use your sock puppets to down vote a simple question that everyone wants answered.
You are not well liked on here. Trying to join the crowd and dig into his workplace isn't going to score you any points here socially. You have the same popularity as armstronglivs.

tl;dr I'm a pathetic, lying, delusional loser who should be mocked and made fun of constantly for how unbelievably sad his life is.
Some dudes put all their energy into climbing mountains, setting world records, conquering nations, making billions of dollars, creating massive works of art and science, exploring new worlds. Some guys create new religions. For some guys the ultimate frontier is being a woman. Men really are something. I am a man myself. Not gonna read all that crap but I gotta say at least you found your mountain to climb bro.

Try again. My name does have an R and an E in it though. Maybe that will give you a hint of who you are speaking to.
If Barrett is autistic, then he will almost certainly not change his behavior. He also likely does not understand or comprehend being taunted, which is why he hasn't defended himself. I considered blocking him, but I actually enjoy going back and forth with him about Autism Spectrum and related disorders.
So why is it you want Barrett to prove that he ran 3:59 first the 1500, yet you post anonymously and won't reveal your name or pr's? If anyone is lying, its likely NOT Barrett who has revealed his real identity. Its likely YOU who are lying.
I guess its time to finally state what I believe.
The person who writes that my personal best times are actually times that I can slow jog during a practice session (like cruising 70 pace for about 5-6 mile repeats in 4:40), I dont think he does that in order to sway the "public perception" of me on here or to others to think I am lying or have a negative view of me. I dont think that's why he does it.
I think he lies about my personal best times solely because he wants me to eventually get fed up, sad, and it somehow make me stop competing in elite track and roads competitions. I think that's his whole goal. His lies have never been about altering my reputation on here. Its try and shake my self esteem so I will stop getting paid with prize purses and trophies from professional level running events. Obviously he's going to fail at that, and I mean DRASTICALLY.
in the very recent past I posted my college teams entire xc schedule on here. I posted every meet I am taking my college team to this year. As far as my running is personally concerned, All that you would have to do is kindly and POLITELY ask me to post my personal races that I am personally doing in addition to the ones I am taking my college team to. That would allow you time to train and see if you can hang with me aka "The Chosen One" at a race. Of course, you would have to get approved into the elite section first, and even then you probably still wouldn't show up.
So that's what I think all this boils down too. Just some random nobody wants me to stop competing. Its never had anything at all to do with my D-II teams performance or mine as a coach or tarnishing my reputation on here. Its all just been about trying to make me quit my advanced racing career and "forfeit" my love for being a competitive throat-dogg.
Look, I only still frequent this site because I come from a very long ancestral line of educators in my family. I am an educator/professor of biology, and a collegiate coach of running. There is a very small chance than any young people still frequent this site; but that's chance, as small as it may be, is still a chance nonetheless. There is still a CHANCE that a young person on here may need help and instruction with regards to running, and that is what I am here for. I want to catch them while they are young so I can install the correct knowledge in their brains before they meet a bad coach. You see, children are a sponge. They absorb everything you tell them. It is imperative that we distribute the correct training information into their brains before they are harmed by junk knowledge from a junk coach. This is where I come in.
If I were to discontinue posting here and discontinue looking out for possible youths who are in need of education on this site, then I would be doing myself, my family, and children around the world a SERIOUS DISSERVICE in regards to helping them and fulfilling my social responsibilities. There is nobody out there with my type, my volume, or my caliber of knowledge and Doctoral level understanding of this sport. Having the absolutely massive and collosal knowledge that I have, and to not end up distributing that knowledge upon a young persons mentality, that in itself would be a moral crime that I could not live with.
I have to fulfill my role. I have to fulfill my destiny. I have to fulfill my fate. I WILL fulfill and carry out of my fate of aiding young runners in need, and I will do that whether you like it or not. I was annointed that role and that fate by a higher power. That is why I am "The Chosen One".
