Galen Rupp on LetsRun: "Those guys don't know what they're talking about"

My favorite part is how it says, "Back at the massage table at the Lance Armstrong Center".

Getting a massage at the Lance Armstrong center.

Hmmm. Hmmm. Hmmm.

If he doesn't read it, how does he know whether or not we know what we're talking about?

Some people make accurate predictions on this board. Some people make inaccurate predictions on this board. Some people are correct. Some people are incorrect. Rupps premises are way off.

Reminds me of a bumper sticker I once saw:

"Those of you who think you know it all are particularly annoying to those of us who do"

Or as Renato once put it:

"Trying to discuss training theory with posters here is like discussing nuclear physics with elementary school children."

I'd tell you what Hall said about posters here, but every time I try to post the quote, the mods delete it.

Maybe Rupp read what Running Times said with respect to German.

Coming from you, this is beyond ironic.

Email me and I'll put it up and make sure it doesn't get deleted.

Notice he said "those guys". Je suppose que nous Mesdames sont exemptés. Galen, moi, moi, moi Oui!

Coach D, you have a great sense of humor, obviously you can laugh at yourself (sarcasm), while the rest of us laugh at you. Do you even realize how ironic was your post, or are you that dense?

Because people mention to him the idiocy that goes on here.

There's only a handful of us who do, and even then, not all the time.

"Those guys don't know what they're talking about. They don't see what I do, how hard I train, what I think about. No one trains harder than I do, as long as the pollen count isn't too high. No one thinks more about caressing Pre's manbag."

"Chat room"? Galen is behind the times.

Seriously though, if Galen is talking about message boards in general, there's so much junk posted that on a net overall basis, he is right. But there's also a fair amount of sensible commentary mixed in.

I think Brian Sell said it best when he said "if I want to know what some 18 minute 5Ker has to say about my training I'll ask my wife".

Why are you writing in French? You can't even write one sentence correctly. D-

Why do our athletes seem so sensitive about this stuff? Most of the negative commentary doesn't amount to anything more than busting balls. Everybody wants these guys to succeed.

or maybe, discussing nuclear physics with distance coaches is like discussing nuclear physics with school children

Chat?! He should see what we're saying on all the BBS's. Or is that BBS'. Whatever.

You'd kill your mother, twice, for the chance to trade places with Galen right now.
