Sage Canaday speaks after missing Trials qualifier

Wow Wejo is getting crushed here - and rightfully so. The comments on YouTube are even worse. Sage handled it with class - good for him.

I feel embarrassed for whoever that interviewer was.

The look Sage gave when Wejo asked "A 100 Miler? I don't understand it" was priceless.

First I thought it was really embarrassing and awkward. Now it occurred to me that maybe he was playing with the whole "I don't understand marathons" thing.

Proper usage: Canadians live in Canaday.

Don't you fools understand that the interviewer and interviewee know each other and were joking around? And wejo was cracking some message board jokes, for example, "ultra runners that wear fuel belts aren't real runners?" Is that hard to understand?

Clearly the interviewer knows nothing about ultras and running mountain trail 100 milers. He sounded one of my sedentary co-worker asking me about a 100 mile race. Embarrassing. I felt sorry for Sage having to answer his stupid questions.

You are obviously a moran if you think wejo would joke about such a thing. Ultra runners are puny soccer moms with no durability or skill. Anyone can jog 100 miles.

I think this is accurate.

Beating the guy who finished 72!!

Idiot

In this country, you can't make the Olympic team without making the Olympic trials first.

Absolutely. There have been a fair amount of very good marathon runners over the years, sub 2:20 ability, that have had zero success in the 100k-100M trail arena. Until someone runs a hilly trail 100M they will not have any idea or be able to grasp what it does to the body ....... and mind for that matter.

Ask yourself what the point of finishing 71st at the XC conference meet was.

Agreed, dude gets paid to run and has a lot of fun with it. He's knowledgeable, fairly talented, and has a following. All the folks on here taking shots at him should get a life.

Really a dick move by he owner of the site to ask a condescending question at the end of the interview, especially after Sage pays you a compliment.

That interview was a joke right? Sage is great with how open he is about his training and in uploading helpful advice for tackling different distances.

Dear @LetsRun, Sage is what you should be promoting not poking fun at.

Wejo weren't you his college coach? It was so awkward. "100 mile race, I don't understand it." "uh oh sounds like not a real runner" why you taking jabs at sage?

I watched the video. Taking jabs? He was asking a question. Interview was fine. Non controversial and well done except the video needs a tripod.

They are wrong. He doesn't call him not a real runner. At 1:54, he laughs at what Sage said about carrying a fanny back full of gels and a handheld water bottle.

He laughs and say "uh oh, sounds like not a real runner". He's poking fun in non-serious way. He never said he wasn't a real runner. People are too dumb to figure this out.
