Alright, i'll just agree to disagree at this point. I respect your opinion and may have shared your feelings at some point in my life but no longer. I don't agree with the analogy either, they're not out there pretending that it's easy, they're doing their prescribed workouts and trying to improve. If that calls for an 8ft net today and a 9ft net two weeks from now then be it, that's still better than 98% of runners out there.

If their "showing off" is what gets a talented kid to think that running may be cool and try to focus on track instead of skateboarding, if that kid goes on to run a 13:00 5K and challenge for medals then don't you think there's something to that showboating? Discounting their confidence because they're not the elite of the elite is pretty short sighted. "clout" is what the younger gens may gravitate more towards so don't forget that, we're not all looking for our monthly paper to see who won the July 4th 8K two towns over for inspo.

I don't know what you do for a living but I'm willing to bet you're not at the top of your field, should your experience in life be completely meaningless then? Do you personally feel like you have nothing to contribute to anyone in their development?

The guys, and they need a female representation, at TME are better runners than most of us here so I'm appreciative of their content because I'm able to project a little bit of myself onto them. If you're not confident enough in yourself to respect what they're doing then don't s**t on them before reflecting on your own insecurities first.

? If you've got a problem with TME then you've got a problem with yourself. Period.
