Molly Huddle calls out the LRC!

Imagine the East Africans being this soft? The Americans want all of the adulation but none of the flip side. Whilst they drive their BMW's, have their Starbucks, they cry about such unimportant matters. It is though they have grown into soccer moms with the ability to run 6 minute miles. No wonder we suck.

Well said, Dane!

I think these pros are a bunch of arrogant stuck up entitled pricks. Double standards. They keep away and deny any moral activism that would jeapordize their income or social echo chamber. They cry about criticism. They expect all the comforts of a social media echo chamber and running income lifestyle as if it's their God given right. This is fake, this is group think, this is sheep weak behavior.

This is the opposite of being candid, real, excellent, genius, courageous, strong and hardworking.

Will you attach your real name to this post?

Of course not. Anonymous coward. Read the last sentence of your post and admit you're only describing yourself.

American rubbers very small. Big man need big rubber when meet Molly.

The best part of the whole "I am looking at you LRC" thing with the Hadley tweet by True (and retweeted by Huddle) is that no one on these boards criticized HER. They all criticized her dad and his coaching methods.

The observations about Alana Hadley on these boards have been validated by events- overhyped, over trained, burned out and prone to injury.

Ben True....still more Diamond League 5000m wins than any other American.

When you become visible/good enough that other people start talking about you, you have to be able to handle the criticism. When you become a public figure, there will be some that love you and others that hate you.

When you decide to become involved with social media, you open yourself up to potential worldwide criticism.

The world is not filled with eternal optimists who only have nice and sweet things to say.

Lets Run is not to blame for that. The good and the bad is out there anyway, and LRC just provides an easy way to share opinions.

My advice for those who can not handle criticism: don't read LRC or any media coverage. Sooner or later you will read something about yourself that you do not like, and you may be disappointed.

The other advice is to grow some thicker skin if you want to read what is said about you in the media. If you can handle it, and know that your life is just, the negative things said about you can be used as fuel. Criticism can also help you reexamine and reevaluate what you are doing.

Does anyone think that the East Africans are hanging around all day trying to read about what others say or think about them?

I believe they are working too hard at training and recovering to bother.

There's a good amount of truth to this. My views:

1) Letsrun forum posters are a bunch of twatwaffles.

2) Most professional runners are fast but intellectual lightweights who don't understand political matters but will gladly repeat what they've heard and believe their blue checkmark on twitter means something.

If you as a professional runner want a sycophant then go to Runners World, where they'll treat you like a rock star.

I wish I was good enough to be called out on LRC

Alana Hadley #blessed

Hi there, Mr. LRC troll pup.

You are completely wrong again.

This is not a surprise for LetsRunInTheOpenPitOfSewage.com...which is going to burn for eternity.

In conclusion:

Everyone should watch out because Molly Huddle is also doing more Yoga in 2017.

Take that troll pup.

Ha ha ha…∞…^∞…^∞…^∞...

Anyone want to start a go fund me so I can box Ben true?

OK. But how is that any different from any other Twitter user?

Only deplorables criticize Alana.

But deplorables can get a president elected, so what could they do for Alana's career? Just imagine.

Did somebody say Molly Huddle??? **Swoons**

Time to start a Molly Huddle appreciation thread. If that's not a positive thing, I don't know what is.

Look, the majority of elites see Letsrun as a blight on the sport. I'm shocked that anyone would be surprised at that. Spend 5 minutes on these boards, and you'll see why.

All the Elites lurk and read and post here...

I suspect Galen Rupp is Jamin, Centro is Hardloper, and Pheobe Wright is XFitGuyThe Real One...

Molly prob lurks and posts too

re: "The obvious one to me is required username registration, and I'd also like more clarity about the mods and deleted posts, it seems sometimes that the brojos themselves are not really aware of what's going on under their watch."

Amen

I simply don't understand why some posts are deleted, sometimes it seems like the mods delete posts they personally don't like. While on the other hand, I have seen numerous mean spirted racists posts, post questioning an athlete's sexuality, posts calling out athletes as dopers when there is absolutely nothing to suggest they are. Btw elites still cruise these boards, mostly by searching on their name to see what's being said about them, but they don't post much anymore or associate themselves with the board. With that said, Letsrun is about the only game in town, I get more out of it for free than I do FLP and RS, which I pay for.
