    I hate promoting the content of people I believe are pure self-promoters…. Buuut since this site seems to love Matt Choi, I can’t help but share.

    Instagram:www.instagram.com/reel/CpoQmWANGcA/?ig...

    Obviously he is not running 26 mph. That’s top speed for an Olympic sprinter. I’ll just be honest, it bothers me that you have Saucony commenting on the post as well. Running influencers already have way more followers than actual pro runners (sans Kipchoge and a couple others), so what’s stopping shoe companies from giving most their shoe deals to influencers instead of pros? Like, as annoying and inaccurate as the post is, Matt Choi definitely promoted the brand to more people than Heather MacLean could in a single post (149k to 25k followers.

    Bro, what are you talking about?! This is Matt Choi! MATT CHOI! THE MATT CHOI, Bro! Of course he is running 26 mph. He was a college football player, bro! Guy can run on hour flat for the marathon. He looked relaxed doing it, too, wearing his backwards baseball cap. Cyclists even follow this guy during his races, completely in awe of his talent. Any bikes ever follow you, bro? Didn't think so.

    I’m gonna just rename this guy Matt full of Choit.

    The visual difference alone in 22mph and 26mph is huge, and this joker is not running anywhere near 26mph.

    Y'all seem to be hatin' for no reason.

    I have that handheld speedgun and I know it is accurate.

    He may have just touched 26mph briefly but it sure looks like he did.

    I got no skin in the game.

    Looks anywhere from 16-18 mph. Would bet $500 it’s not over
