Which elite runners would you be surprised to stroll the boards and who would you assume is on here daily?

As much as I appreciate the anonymous nature of the board it would also be cool to have the little blue check marks next to the names of elites on the off chance that they do post here.

Brojos- Every consider doing Reddit style ask me anythings with the pros?

I bet Lauren Fleshman is on here all the time. She tries so hard to stay relevant in the sport so she has to keep up with the gossip. Every pro that has not made a Olympic or World Outdoor team I would assume visits LRC regularly.

All the time. Do other pro athletes read the sports page? This is our sports page. It also has interesting off topic stuff.

I'd guess at least 80% of American pros are on here. David Torrence admitted to reading the forums. Nick Symmonds has retweeted Letsrun a couple times and even tweeted complaining about trolls last week.

I love the idea that elite runners see my stinky work.

Good luck in LA - may the force be with you!

I was referred by an anonymous elite who told me all the elites post on here.

What is a stroll?

If you are fat enough, make it a WR attempt. A la Parvaneh Moayedi.

But only if you are FAT ENOUGH.

Merber is on here for sure

Ruppcertifiedsaladbar is actually al sal

believe it or don't, elite runners are semi-normal people. They--GASP!--have interest in topics other than running and training.

Oh, and they have absolutely no interest in revealing their true identities to fans, and anti-fans, on web forums.

Orrrrr Phoebe Wright. Yep, it's definitely Phoebe Wright. Multiple times she has tweeted a screenshot of the letsrun homepage whenever there's a weird forum.

EPO is my middle name is my guess for Chris Derrick's handle. Weird rants about science and on top of insider stuff sometimes way too early.

Suzy Favor Hamilton. I can imagine her posting about Mo being the GOAT or how Rupp is the GREATEST US runner of all time.

Now that I think about it he sometimes goes off on economics and law stuff too, Derrick is definitely big on those. A logical guess, but the problem is EPO is my middle name seems to want to be the "LRC Minnesota expert" with all of his "Minnesota is the best distance running state" among other Minnesota things. I know another guy who would fit this profile (stanford, minnesota, science, etc) to perfection though, he's pretty well known.

Haha, yeah, you can really tell which are the chic-posts, as they reek of acid and hostility.

That said, I bet the girls are on here a lot, seeing what's being said about them. I'm gonna go with Brenda Martinez as top reader. So, Brenda, what are you doing next Friday night?

Just chillin' in the jacuzzi. Wanna come over?
