Yeah, you're triggered that's for sure. Don't cry princess.
He's pushing 60, not 55, and he's a racist.
Let him be, he'll find fault in his ways soon.

Anonymous racist?

Iron is absurdly easy to get. Supplements work very well, and you can even get it by cooking on cast iron.
Just because one elite athlete has a view on something doesn't mean it's the only right way.
Alex Honnold free solo climbed El Capitan in a bit over 3 hours on a vegetarian diet plus eggs. This should immediately dispel the myth of needing red meat.
Veganism is a mental disorder
Red meat eaters, once they stop running will grow man boobs, a massive beer gut, and die young. Vegans will continue to flow with Mother Earth through their 90s if the environment isn't already trashed enough by capitalism by the time they get there.

I'm sorry but your are delusional. Humans are naturally omnivores. Our ancestors ate red meat for hundreds of years. If you stop eating any animal products you will be emaciated, have liver failure, and will likely die.
As an aside, I'm confident I can predict who you will vote for in the next presidential election based on your diet alone. One diet uses logic, facts, and common sense while another uses wishful thinking and delusion.

Do you realize how fast a 1:09 half-marathon is? For f*** sake people. First, go out and better the times you belittle and then make your comments. The sad reality is FAR too many runners haven't touched that type of time and think it is a sh*t time. It isn't. You have to move to run a 1:09. Yes, you need some speed to run that time. It hasn't gone anywhere. Sage has run around 2:16 or so for the marathon. It is not like you duplicate these types of efforts every other week...
This is absolutely the worst type of post here on Letsrun.
Can you imagine fans of any other sports being turned upon like this for criticising what is a relatively abject performance for a known athlete? i.e. You can say a qb / receiver had a duff game / season unless YOU personally have a superbowl ring? Are you f***ing kidding me?

First off...for the record the course was pretty hilly. Like over 600-700'+ of climbing.
So there's that....for everyone's times. Jordan Hassay jumped in the 15km and ran like 51-min as a workout.
No, I would not have been able to beat Jesse Thomas if I went all out on the day. He ran like 1:08 low and won by quite a bit.
The guy is a stud and in great shape for a 39 year old. Keep in mind at Stanford he did run like a 8:35 steeple and has been a pro triathlete. He ran great...I think he's targeting the Eugene marathon. Lauren won the half as well.
I was supposed to run at goal marathon pace and wanted it to feel easy/controlled....I also wanted to win. It was not "workout/tempo effort" and so I am disappointed and not in the shape I want to be in obviously. I ran pretty freaking hard to run that 1:09:0x. Ave. heartrate was 163. All the data is on Strava.com. It was a big disappointment.
To tell you the truth i've been struggling with some back issues/running form issues. It hasn't been too bad and I am mostly healthy hitting 100-120mpw, but for sure my speed has been hampered and its been frustrating. I came off an injury in late Nov./Dec. from what I think was implications from a blunt/impact fall at the Otter Trail race but have been training pretty well since January (got 2nd at Moab Red Hot 55km last month), but for sure not stellar. I'm working on it and looking forward to the ultra season though (Comrades etc.) as this year of racing progresses. I have been very fortunate to have the time and energy and resources to train.
Sure I want to be "faster" and run an OTQ marathon again, but realize I am sponsored to be an ultra-mountain runner....not a road marathon runner. Me running a 2:17 or another 2:19-2:20 doesn't really help my career. Of course I've love to say I'm a "3-time Olympic Trials Qualifier" instead of a "2-time Olympic Trials Qualifier" though! I may be "slow and old" to your standards, but I'm in this running thing for the long haul! Enjoy the sport, live running as a lifestyle for health, fitness and fun and don't be afraid to state your goals. People can criticize me all they want...I can only be transparent and honest with you guys.
Thanks for that, Sage. I always enjoy it when an elite runner who is being gossiped about, trash-talked, etc., is nice enough to come on this forum and just talk about what's really going on, without pretense.
Reality tends to reveal wild fantasies for what they are.
More power to you.
You may want to look up a couple things:
1. Historical life expectancy trends
2. Theory of evolution
That is, if you "believe in" science (which, I'll tip you: it is not a belief).

don't cry too much princess, you'll get over your triggered feelings and racist views. take a nap now honey.
Kudos to Sage for even replying to this garbage. One hour and nine minutes at marathon pace—-Maybe you just had a down day???
I will be pulling for you at Rotterdam. Good luck!
As far as red meat goes, the science is pretty clear-cut that humans do not need it. East Africans eat red meat out of necessity as their diets would be deficient in calories without it. Go listen to the podcast with Dave McGillivary, , Amby Burfoot, and two leading cardiologists. Unless you want excess inflammation and heart disease, red meat should be rarely if ever consumed.

I'd believe My Gut and The Bible long before any unproven "scientific" theory.
Excessive faith in science is epistemologically unsound. The scientific method has limits. Insisting otherwise is a dogma called scientism. Look it up.
That is in comparison to The Bible, which is a tried, true, and proven document.

Thought so. We aren't going to be making any headway in this convo. Good luck to you. I'll part with this advice to you: read a lot of what you aren't told to read.
