Leah Falland calls out Rojo and Wojo

Anyone ever listen to sports radio call in shows? They made LRC look like group therapy.

Letsrun is sports radio for distance runners and the messageboard is where we call in and lie about our prs and anonymously criticize runners and coaches better than us.

Proves that every pro read letsrun

Being anti-LRC is a deal-breaker. I was beginning to root for her.

sure, but one important distinctions:

you don't get extrapolate your crackpot theories on live air (running related or otherwise)

If you wanna yell at coaches and armchair quarterback on LRC, fine. I am simply saying that just as the station screens unruly callers, wejo and rojo have the ability to moderate the board

Is she single?

What’s her 8k time?

Who did she vote for?

I need to know all of these before I comment.

I didn’t listen to podcast. If I find enough time to fit it in my busy schedule I might listen and correct my original stance if wrong. Might be hard to fit in since I’m working on a detailed ‘Thon training plan for a very special Canuck of the North.

Married

Faster than yours

N/A

Yeah (She's out of your league) baby

Turns out Falland is right! Look at this train-wreck of a thread!

Her trials race was spectacular and heart-breaking at the same time.

Just another thin skinned youngster who likes to oppress freedom of expression. You would think runners would have a little more humor and tolerance for people’s opinions, but no, the lefty mindset is to stifle dissent and contrary thoughts. So sad!

“If you don’t have the same opinion I have, then yours is inherently wrong and no one should hear it.”

This is what she was raised on as a young adult, and all she knows. She sees it as acceptable.

Listening to her commentate this last summer, she comes off as a very loud and boisterous flake.

She was on the Coffee Club podcast hoasted by On athletes Olli Hoare, George Beamish, and Morgan MacDonald. Among topics discussed was a thorough ripping of this very website

Basically, she said "F**k letsrun message boards"

Although there is clear irony in me posting from an anonymous username (I rarely use letsrun anymore after graduating from college) I think most of her points are warranted and could probably go a long way into improving this site. Specifically, how mod's let any random thread go without reasonably stepping in when 40yo HobbyJoggers start commenting on 20yo elite college women's bodies without any context.

Thoughts? Will Rojo and Wojo moderate this thread or let trolls wreak havoc below?

Is she trying to take out her failures on LetsRun.com. A mature runner would not be reading message boards or let them bother them. This seems to be popular among washed up runners.

An bit of context: Leah mentioned she has dealt with mental health issues in the past several times during this podcast. I believe she specifically mentions anxiety and depression if I remember correctly. I wonder if the boards perhaps affected her negatively when she was in a dark place. I am not arguing that the boards could send someone into a spiral, but they could likely exacerbate feelings of inadequacy or failure for someone who is currently already struggling with those feelings. She had a number of serious injuries and she mentions her hormone levels got all out of whack. For someone with all that going on, reading these boards and seeing negative posts about her from people who don't know her at all and probably aren't that well informed on women's running would be enough to make anyone kind of incensed.

Maybe she started another Alec Baldwin thread and it got deleted .

You graduated graduated from a college? You should ask for a refund. Your post appears to have written by someone who is functionally illiterate.

Huh?? Pot meet kettle. twice! Read the above again very slowly Derf.

I really like this message board. I've even grown to like the constant posts by 3-4 posters whining about how they dislike a message board they spend all day on.

It's a great message board. All kinds of content, all kinds of views, all kinds of posting abilities. There are a few lunatics that I wish would leave, but all in all, great message board.

8.5/10 troll.

I spelled "hosted" wrong, there is a long, run-on sentence at the end of the OP, and I messed up "wejo"s nickname. I'm simply playing to the crowd with a functionally illiterate post, no?

I'm fully aware I spent about 3 minutes making the first post and it was riddled with errors. It doesn't detract from creating the conversation and proving that this site is filled with trolls. Trolls that could be better moderated

I'll send you my degree if you'd like it though.
