Running Influencer at Boston Live Thread

Choi slows to 8:45 pace at 30k. He's going to struggle to break 3:30!

Floberg is grinding it out. Did Matt Fox end up pacing him?

You stalked every one of them just to make a thread about them? You're an obsessed loser. Being obsessed with hating them is just as pathetic as being a fan of one of them.

Caitlyn Miller is starting to struggle some after starting off quite a bit faster than last year. She should still run faster than her 2023 Boston time but won't break her PR from California International. Too hot today

What I find so funny about pretty much all influencer runners is that they fall in love with running from the start once they find they're getting better and it looks like they have all this potential (to run sub 3 marathons, that is). Then their egos swell and they think they're experts because they went from no running to being able to do a marathon, the ultimate achievement in hobby-jogging and proof that they are special and worthy of all the attention they get. Then they keep going and eventually either plateau or get injured and just never get back to it. So then they're stuck trying to convince people they're still experts when the actual race results prove that they're falling off but they can always just skirt around those nasty facts to maintain the narrative that they know what they're doing!

Floberg comes in 2:38. Still a PR. Decent for the warmth and hilly course?

No sign of Matt fox after mile 25. probably cramped..

Fox walked it in.

His coach was saying he was in 2:25 shape.. obviously he wasn't going for it today but still.

Clearly overestimated his fitness and maybe took fuelling and hydration for granted. if only he had a sponsor for that..

It’s only 17c it’s really not that warm. Warmer than perfect but that hot to make the time unnecessarily slow

They all told us how we could track them in the race and encouraged it! It was pretty easy to add them in the tracking app. Maybe next year BAA can have an influencer bib category.

Also, if the shoe companies stop giving losers like Choi influencer bibs, then maybe people who actually BQ'd could get into the race.

They just announced Olympian Alexi Pappas is on Heartbreak.

They don’t understand the learning curve. Once you start training seriously most of the progress is made in the first two years.

Was going to check Ben Parkes..

He didn't crash as much as you said, but finished 3:02

Wonder what happened? Hope he's ok

She usually runs as a guide for blind runners, so nobody should read into her times. More influencers should do that. It's a good thing to do.

He ran the last 2k at 9:52 pace after starting at 2:40/6:00 pace.

So they asked for your attention and you gave it to them like the good little dog that you are.

Yeah TBF that last mile is pretty ouch

Thomas squeezing the pace down to 8:27! If this keeps on happening for the next half, he might beat Choi's time!

Does anyone want to volunteer to coach Choi to a half decent time? He is doing something horribly wrong if he devotes all his free time and his entire existence to barely breaking 3 hours.
