What is wejo's greatest accomplishment, his 28.06 10000m or this website?
I can't decide.
Speaking of PEDS... 28:06 was quite an improvement. And I'm not talking about the website.
This will of course get deleted...
This is an incredibly varied board, with an astonishing mix of topics. It has ample training advice, ample personal encouragment, and lots of useful information, organized by the topic of the thread. By deriding the collection as having "so much negativity," you have made that negativity larger with your contribution.
This is a wonderful website and board, not perfect. No library is perfect. No group of people to discuss topics with is perfect. No running website or board is perfect. As much as I like it, I'd probably go to a better one regularly, if there were one. This is my second running website, after switching from another a few years ago. I rarely visit the first any more.
Also there's people you called names like "racist" or "homophobic," and they likely got that label from you because they called other people names, or sterotyped them out of disagreements, personal differences, or ignorance. I generally let people who are angry, insulting to others, or intolerant of those who are different alone keep that behavior as theirs, rather than engaging in the same behavior myself.
There's not many people in these arguments who don't have a heartfelt point of view from having been wronged in the past. Why call them a name, or try to silence their communication? Aren't you adopting their tactics and attempting to create a class of people below yours? People don't want to be put down, so defensively, reflexively, they put down somebody else, just to feel better, or look better, usually someone who is different than they are.
Racial, social, moral, religious tensions are different than they were 50 years ago, but we still seem to have about the same number of people calling other people derogatory names, and lumping individuals into a group to be derided.
This is a wonderful website, especially if you don't read the taunting emails, let alone act as if they are an important part of this board, or website.
Internet anonymity + posters who are mostly young and male + light or no moderation = letsrun, fark, 4chan, etc.

No one is gonna read this you moron.
I agree with the previous poster - too many words. Too heady, too deep, yo.
It's been fun, but there is just too much negative energy here and too many new assholes who post bullshit and lots of great people who used to post all the time who have left or gone underground. I'm out. Life is too short. I'll be in kona. Hope to see some of you there. Paulo knows how to find me.
This weekend was the most electrifying GOAT weekend of ‘thonning of all time!
Thread after thread of doping, not a real ‘thon, cheater shoes, drugs... Sad!
Learn to appreciate incredible achievements instead of feeling slighted because you’re reminded of how JV your pr’s are.
I don’t think making 18 the age limit will help. Please don’t blame the teenagers. I would bet money most of the negative posts come from grown A$& adults.

After 11 years on this site, this is the first week where I started to think the forum is nearly a waste of time. Seems like most people out there just will not be happy. I really wonder if it's a handful of people or if there are that many miserable humans out there?

I know this has been brought up time and time over again but its hard to avoid. There is way too much cynicism, homophobic, off the cut racists remarks on this board. Why? Life is way too short to be pissed off all the time. At times I do appreciate when we have a open dialogue about race but as soon as the conversation continues, it just goes overboard with ignorance. The same thing goes for the drug controversity in our sport. Some athletes get caught but all of a sudden everyone who's really fast is suddenly on some type of peds. Which is fine if you feel that way but if you're truely that cynical about these athletes then why bother watching? Personally, I believe the NFL is fixed and the NBA but I don't go on those websites and cry my heart out hoping for some people to agree with me in order to feel better about myself. I just.......don't watch it. That simple. Oh btw. the homophobic comments about galen rupp has got to stop. And I assume (or pray) that the individuals that post these viled remarks are middle school teens. Brojos if you do read this, bump the age requirement to 18. I guarentee you guys that there will be a difference on these boards. ~cheers~
Why did you blank out your registered name , then post as "random" . You need to grow up.
10 year old thread that was dug up.
Looks like things haven't changed at all as it's still quite negative. It must be because that's what we do best!
