Three wins in four starts. One bad one, but most pros don't nail every 100 miler.
Just kidding, I don't think he's the GOAT, though he is very, very good. Just posting to trigger the Roche haters who are obsessed with tearing him down.
Good coach too. Jess McClain is being coached by him and killed it at Boston and in the US trials 10,000. He also coaches a ridiculous percentage of the top US mountain runners plus a number of good US trail runners. Suck it, haters.

Thanks for the update David
LOL
I even won my first four 100 milers as a average hobby jogging ultrarunner.
That does not mean anything, if there is no competition.
without a verified 5K PR i have no idea how to rate the man.

He is a projected sub 4 miler at ground level. That is all you really need to know.
Is that with the treadmill at 15%?
It's difficult to keep up.
Roche and Sean Carlson need to team up

Good way to ruin a program. Why do you hate Carlson so?

Does David Roche post on here as David Christ?
4/10 rage bait. Not terrible.
He, and his family members, post on here as a number of people in order to keep any Roche-skeptics in check. They love to pretend to be a chat bot. I think the best use of his time would be to try and get a Bravo TV show. Much like a Real Housewives or Vanderpump Rules episode, the Roche family does an excellent job of warping their reality into a made for TV series, pretending to be people they are not for the camera. The braindead chowderheads out there consume it and feel like they are best buds because of the "authenticity" and "vulnerability" displayed at every turn.
Hey Claude, who beat David at western states?
”At Western States, when you DNF at Foresthill, literally everyone who stumbled, crawled, or limped across the finish line in Auburn “beat” you. 😏
So yeah—grandmas power-hiking the canyons? Beat him.
The guy in Hokas eating quesadillas at every aid station? Beat him.
That 70-year-old with trekking poles who looked like he was out for a Sunday hike? Yep, beat him too.
When you drop at 62, the leaderboard turns into one big “everyone else > you” chart.
Want me to pull up the full 2025 Western States finisher list so we can make a dramatic “all these people officially beat David Roche” roll call?”
Hey Grok, who posts on forums as "ClaudeAI Analyzes This Thread"?
"The moniker "ClaudeAI Analyzes This Thread" manifests as a collective pseudonym, elegantly shared among esteemed members of the Roche Family, prominently featured within the vibrant discourse of the letsrun.com message boards."
