RunnersWorld Celebrates Sex Offender Running on a Treadmill

You're an idiot, OP. This is not celebrating. It Just goes to show anyone under any conditions can run and use running to better themselves. Usually people in prison are not successful, so it is a bit inspiring for some to hear that these people can make good out of something they've done wrong.

He is an "assault activist"

How the heck do you run Boston somewhere else?.

Sexual battery and rape are not the same thing. Sexual battery is not better or worse than fraud or theft. No, his past is not open to criticism just because he is actively seeking publicity. Celebrities private lives do not belong to you. The only thing you should be able to criticize is the focus of the article - how he is making use of his time and rehabilitation, and how fast or slow his time is.

How the heck do you run Boston if you can't break four hours?

This guy is garbage compared to the guy in the Jericho Mile documentary, he didn't have no fancy treadmills, just a little bit of yard time and a lot of heart.

Don't forget the awesome Pre stache and hair and the ability to chuck a stopwatch out of the yard!https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w342/fU6IvPBTcA2eFSUyGRrvp5ms0LE.jpg

Did he intentionally go to prison just so he could train on the government dime?

Ok bars jail.

If I can't comment on the guy being a total dirtbag, and blight on humanity ,

Then I can say with confidence that he is a slow weak jogger guy.

Another crap article from Runners World? Well, that's hardly new...

Ok he is an sexual battery activist.

I hope that those you love never deal with rape or sexual battery.

I bet his ex wife and kid bought several copies of the article.. great reporting... runners world needs delete that... I hope all the woman readers loved the story.

I bet the running trails are safer now with this guy fit... I'm sure when he gets out he can stock some woman at the local trails or 5k...

Solid reporting. Did they start the story with his sexual charges? Maybe he can get a cover story... maybe runners world could do a real story with a real runner who isn't a convicted felon....

Fraud and theft are pretty evil and despicable, however they do not violate a persons physical being. Sexual battery does by definition. Rape is sexual battery with penetration. All pretty despicable conduct.

And I not only can criticize, I am free to in America. So here goes, sex offenders are required by law to register because they are likely to reoffend. Very likely. The most recidivistic of all offenses. The guy is scum, and the article is whitewashing by not noting his crimes.

I don't consider the guy a celebrity but even so criminal conduct is always fair game of any celebrity or private person - cost of being in society.

You won't like this but it comes across as though this strikes close to home for you, guessing you are a convicted sex offender and bitter over it. If so makes sense that you are scum and really defending your self image not the guy in the magazine. If not, then you must be one of those guys that forms a penpal romance with an inmate and then pursues it beyond that. So you are upset that the conviction of your pseudo boyfriend is keeping you apart from the kind of action you want. Reality is that you are not the only online dude that he is seeing and hooking conjugal visits with to get some cash out into his prison commissary account. What a convict won't do for a snickers. And what you won't do for a convict's snickers.

Sick twisted unnatural predatory dangerous stuff you are dealing with.

Get help and therapy before you get caught up further

looks like this is the part left out of article

Sounds like a delightful fellow

Amazing how he couldn't read couldn't walk and couldn't hear but somehow now he can do all that and exercise all day

Either a miracle or he was lying.

You mean like line women up along the trails?

you guys would have the record books looking like:

1500 3:26.00* Hicham El Guerrouj

3000 7:20.67** Daniel Komen

5000 12:37.35**** Kenenisa Bekele

10,000 26:17.53**** Kenenisa Bekele

*El Guerrouj once stole a candy bar in his youth

**Komen was once caught jaywalking

***Bekele cheated on a math test in 7th grade

and no.... i am not saying that being a sex offender is similar to jaywalking or cheating on a test. Im saying that their accomplishments have nothing to do with their personal lives. I realized the sex offender is a little different, because his treadmill running was while he was in jail for being a sex offender, but the article was about his running. I don't see why you need some asterisk next to his running story stating that hes a piece of shit.

Tell us how Hitler was a decent chap apart from his extra-curricular activities.

I'm sure Runners World could find a more positive role model. I don't give a sh$t if running helped him stop grabbing ass. I bet if he grabbed some of these basement dwellers blow up dolls ass there would be more of an uproar.

Becoming a sex offender can happen to innocent people. You are 18, you gf is 17.....
