(1) There is no magic workout that makes someone better than someone else.
(2) Everyone in the mix is running near everyone else.
(3) Whereabouts are already known to drug testing agencies.
(4) Workouts don’t usually include all the small things that separate those at the top, such as nutrition, recovery, weights and even supplements/drugs.
I don't think it's a big deal to share training data. I don't think there are any "competitive secrets" to be learned by seeing someone's training. Even if you copy it exactly, you're never going to have the same results as another person.

Yes it’s stupid to share.
FYI - don’t believe the training you see and don’t see
No, not stupid at all, the information is interesting but at the same time meaningless. It should be obvious that there are many many ways to the same result, the difficulty is finding which way is right for you before your racing days are over. It should be clear at this point there is no single path to success in running. There is no secret sauce.

Thanks good arguments.
2) That is factual not correct. Some pros are doing double thresholds, some not. Some have a rest day/week, some not. Some do a more high volume approach others don't. And so on.
I see one concern to post something, which is that you can bring your opponent to a training idea he/she had not done before, which he/she tries then, with the chance to make him/her better. That is a risk for the buisiness.
Distance running is typically not very lucrative so interacting with fans via strava helps grow your fanbase. More fans = more money and opportunities.
A few people from my running club copied my training on strava and improved substantially (one woman from 3:22 to 3:10 marathon and 44 10k down to 38). Another guy from 3:40 to a 3:02 marathon. At the end of the day running is a hobby and you can run how you want but smart training doesn't look good on strava. I deleted it a while back because it was getting on my nerves.
Anyway, I'm not a pro, but, I'd be honored if someone copied my training. They'd probably end up hurt in some weird way.
I sort of knew someone that was a B-tier member of Tinman. I asked about their training and he was like, "Sorry, that's a secret," as if his coach didn't rise to "fame" by posting all of his training philosophy online

"Sorry, that's a secret," seems like a good way for someone to get out of a conversation that they just don't want to have. To me it sounds like, "I really don't want to sit and answer your questions for the next hour because that's what will happen if we start this conversation."
