"Jumping the shark" doesn't mean what Rojo thinks it means

All journalists know that the authoer isn't responsible the for title ;).

Only in this case I was. After I published my weekly recap with the title of, "WTW: Women's Marathoning Has Jumped The Shark + Could Newbury Park Run 2:05 For The Marathon?" I did think, "Do I really know what jump the shark means" or am I trying to use some term to be hip and not understand it? I googled and realized it was the latter.

According to the Urban Dictionary, something is said to have “jumped the shark” when it has reached its peak and begun a downhill slide to mediocrity or oblivion.

I didn't mean it like that. So thanks to your post, I've now changed the title to, "WTW: Women's Marathoning Has Gone CRAZY + Could Newbury Park Run 2:05 For The Marathon?"

It takes a real man to man up to his mistakes. Great job rojo. Now just convince Herschel Walker to do the same.

I agree. There's a prolific poster here from the state of Ohio who would be well served to follow in Rojo's footsteps.

Would they though

When it comes to admitting mistakes, yes. For everything else, no.

A term that should be avoided because it is a reference to an old TV sitcom. The relevance and resonance will decline as younger generations don't understand and don't care about what it means.

Has this site Jumped the Shark?

Yes, much like Rojo’s views on running jumped the shark when he took a job at Cornell.

As his athletes will attest to, John Kellogg wrote most if not all of the workouts and Rojo would often complain about the work required to maintain the website
