Leah Falland calls out Rojo and Wojo

Can someone tell me where to skip to on the Youtube video to hear her letsrun comments?

I've seen Leah in other interviews and she seems very likeable.

Says the people who attack someone for stating their opinion.

The quality of letsrun would be incredibly much higher if we didn't need to hear half though out ramblings about someones body, "expert" opinions about vaccines, violence fantasies or lesser threats because a young women has dared to share her thoughts about something. However this would probably lead to a lesser income to the owners of this site as its apparently a huge chunck of people with the need to write stuff like that.

All you jerks saying "Who is Leah Falland?" in order to make yourselves feel big and Leah look small are pathetic nobodies whose lack of accomplishments can't even hold a flame to hers. Whether you're familiar with her or not, these responses are juvenile and asinine. Grow up.

Sorry...who did you say she was?

And just to add - I think its good for the short term to allow these people spew out their bs, however the world is changing. Women is more and more encouraged to find their voice and speak up, younger women finds positions of power or success, and young men are more used to this and doesn't have these attitudes. It is still a ways to go, but I really think (some) parts of the world is changing. The ones not wanting the women to show their bodies, to share their thoughts or argue their opinion, sadly, have whole countries and parts of the world much more in tune with their needs to oppress half the population if they don't like it.

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?

And the The Mods shall lead us to The Promised Land?? F that! The Mods are NOT the answer.

If you don't like posting or reading here, you don't have to. The message boards are not the end all, be all to running. Message boards in general are vile and full of sh!t. Stop the pearl clutching........you don't have to be here.

I could not find it. Most of it was just bragging about her problems. Don't bother watching it!

Oh a other thread whining about LetsRun from the same posters who come here daily to complain about how awful it is.

There are sub forums for training, high school, college, pro running.

Maybe they should filter all non running related threads to a separate off-topic page. Enter if you dare and not have those off-topic threads featured on the homepage.

lol...if i still had hair, it wouldn't be purple.

but don't lecture me about "freedom," son. the only freedom your type cares about is the freedom to marginalize women/minorities.

If people are saying there's a problem, then maybe they should fix it? Instead of bowing down to posters like The Unkle
