When did the hobby jogger 3 hour + marathon types begin to saturate Letsrun?

The "sub elites" were always the worst part of this board when it comes to running. They invent a term with elite in the title to gain some respect. They are a group that looks down on both elites (who are always doing something they think is wrong or are washed up) AND slower people. The demand respect at races. They brag about dusting middle age people and kids at the local 5ks.

I don't miss them

True, this group is sure that the really fast runners are all doping, but anyone slower than them is a washed up has been hobby jogger.

There should be a elite section only no hobby joggers allow!

Guess you’ll be joining the joggers

the great thing about a message board is that you can just chose to not read threads that don't interest you. Maybe just click on the threads discussing the top runners, or if someone is posting asking about breaking 14 min 5k....

How does it feel to have Cheetos dust all over your nose 24/7?

I run 120 miles per week and just ran my first marathon sub 2:30 off of only 30 miles per week. The final 5K was on a track so was able to go sub 15 on that portion. This was also my first time running.

I had to finish quickly before my model wife spent to much on decorations for our third home.

Looks like you yearly income is not up to par with letsrun standards.

I am an Alpha, so can spend as much as I want since I am so wealthy. Wife gets an allowance. Every once in a while I need to mark my territory and keep her in line.

Quick Answer: We got old and out of shape, now trying to get back into shape.

I mean this website is using an interface that looks like it is straight out of the 1990s. You'd think this would be a safe place to return back to talk about old man running issues now. Aren't you youngins on that Snapchat or TikTok thing? Don't you have your own things that us old people can't understand. Forums is our ancient method of communication and social networking.

Is 4chan full of 40 year olds now too? We all know Facebook is.

High Fructose Corn Syrup is the reason Americans are getting slower.

The above was just a test to see if my one-day ban has expired. It has! Much more insigtful trolling to come. I hope Leah Falland doesn't have any more steeple falls. Cancel Culture is a tool of dark forces trying to stifling freeom of expression and the American way. The mods will never fail to take every opportunity to silence reason and humor.

An actual piece to the puzzle is that runners world closed their message board. A quick Google used to show two obvious and active message boards for running.. It was easy to see which message board you fit in better and gravitate towards that one. Now, the "who cares about your time. Finishing is a big enough accomplishment" board has been closed

This. I guess the same thing happened when the Dyestat boards were closed, although this was before my time on LRC.
