re: Hint of vanilla

The ginger runner has a youtube channel and hosts a show each Monday. This week he had Rob Krar in the show. Rib seemed like a good guy. Someone I would have fun having a beer with and hearing him tell some stories. The ginger runner...he came off too enthusiastic and thought he was being funny and just came off hard to watch. I thank him for having a guy like Krar on his show but it was kind of tough to watch.

Last week his show was two middle pack guys talking about gear. IMO this was a much better show but still a bit tough to watch.

re: I got slow and old

I don't like the fact that he makes racing and training "hard" a big thing in his website, while he is still at 8m/m pace on a half Marathon.

Not to be an elitist, but the guy seems to lack in credibility because he obviously never trained hard, or raced hard.

1:44 half with a relatively young/lean body means not even trying it. For me (and I think most people on this boards) running is another thing.

re: Eric Cartman

Video is produced well, the scenery makes me jealous...but other than that, who cares. The self promotion is off-putting (the shirts and head bands with his youtube channel on it is too much).

re: oh please

I agree. too much personal I struggled and battled and continued. Focus more on the beauty of the course and it would have been more entertaining.

re: ebola is bad

I gotta agree with you there, in some of his videos he complains about missing marathon PRs by 1 second yet he spends his time jumping about hugging people and vlogging in the race. He does something similar in one of his ultra videos, vlogs that he wont break a certain time rather than haul ass to the end to see how fast he can go. Pathetic.

He seems to run mileage in the 50s-60s alot and cant break 1.40 for a half marathon, says everything you need to know about the train hard, race harder nonsense that he spouts.

The guy is a poser, simple as.

Also, the fact that he has about 10 posts on this threads underlines his narcissism and attention seeking.
