Allie Kieffer Responds to LRC Thread

I don't have any opinion about Allie Keiffer, but I have at times wondered if RW loves dopers.

What ever happened to saying "I am not going to honor these people with a response"? That's what would have happened if an innocent person was harassed earlier in my life, and now it's always these very public and long arguments.

The same thing that happened to the saying "If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say it". If people adhered to that though, I guess letsrun would cease to exist.

Yes ,I would have loved it if she would have made both statements. Maybe she could have said when asked, "I was raised to behave in such a manner that , If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say it. It's obvious everyone was not and I am not going to honor these people with a response".

Now, I am not picking on AK. I wish all of these people who believe they are unfairly accused would say something like that and nothing more.

Can't wait to see what happens when she gets caught!

Not very thick skinned is she. God forbid she suffer any real travesties.

You guys are mean! Allie, ur hot! ❤?❤?❤?

+1

Allow me to say something nice...This was a well thought out and clever response.

It would have been better if she said “LR? F that site. It’s filled with losers, virgins, 20 Jamin puppet accounts and that handsome dirty old gay man Karl.”

Why the enmity against Virgins, Carl?

M.A.G.A...

I’m still confused about the X-Ray. If you can’t see a stress fracture on an X-Ray, how does she know that she has a stress fracture?

You're a beast Allie - keep up the good work.

You can't let the retards here bother you, most are racist, misogynist, alex jones loving, flat-earther, incels. But if it fuels you, more power to you - good luck in NYC

That actually should be the Letsrun banner, because it's 100% true. The site managers (yes YOU robert and weldon johnson!) probably yukk it up but this site is often a cesspool, and they should be ashamed. Good for Allie Kiefer to speak out.

How about the loss of her older sister Meghan -- the person who inspired Allie to begin running -- in a car accident? Or the loss of her grandparents in an accident involving a fishing boat off the coast of Florida? Seriously, unless you know her personally, you probably should not be commenting on whether she has suffered any "real travesties" in her life.

I admit it -- I am a fan. I don't have any problem with her calling out anonymous message board BS.

I'd never heard of Allie Kieffer before I saw this thread heading, now I have the impression that she's taking herself just a little bit too seriously and being a bit too precious, especially as the original thread was deleted, but I guess it's all about getting attention.

Anyway, after reading this RW article on her NY marathon 26 minute improvement at 30 years of age it was inevitable that questions would be raised on an anonymous posters running forum, if she'd been Kenyan, Ethiopian, Russian, Moroccan, etc it would have been a thread of dozens of pages. And I know, some of the stuff said was unacceptable, but just report those posts for deletion or email one of the Brojo's direct.

Admittedly, those are horrible things. But it still doesn't change the fact that she got butt-hurt by some LetsRun message board trolls.

She's clean. Leave the poor woman alone.

She's triggered by the internet? LMAO

You know, I respect your take on this. But, I have a different view. I don't think she was "butt-hurt." I think she calmly and rationally reminded us that she is a real person, that words have consequences, and that troll posts suck. Turning the other cheek is not inherently a tougher or better response to anonymous keyboard cowboys who say -- without any evidence -- that you couldn't possibly run as fast as she does with her body type without doping. Sometimes, standing up for yourself is a better response for the person on the receiving end, and if that's what she decided to do, I am fine with it.

And, FWIW, I saw Allie (and a bunch of other elite women) up close at a recent road race where I was volunteering. She is a small, fit AF person. I get that there are people out there with skinnier builds. But, I appreciate that Allie K. is open about her search for the power/strength/ weight ratio that works best for her.
