Worked at Nike for a long time. While I was there letsrun fell out of favor as a go to source for consumer insights. There's a lot of negativity here that, until it's directed at you, seems like people speaking the truth, but can be hard to sift through.
Must be because Nike dopes all their athletes to the gills like with NOP and doesn't like us calling them out.
Ha must be that.
Guess my point was that increasingly they stopped caring what gets written on here. Viewing it as a hyper-negative, non-representative sample of runners.
I know for certain that Dathan Ritz reads this. I know him and live near him in Michigan and he has mentioned it before.
If he did, he would be a bit despondent.
I would hope he doesn't. I ran cross with him and still live in the area as well. I doubt he remembers who I am as he was leagues ahead of me and outside my social circle but I wouldn't want any marginally famous runner reading this stuff let alone someone who was as nice a guy as he was. Too many keyboard warriors on here.

Serious question. He comes across in interviews as someone who only reads comic books.
I'm sure he's a nice guy but he doesn't seem like a deep geopolitical thinker.
