I really don't know if people are writing horrible things because they think it's funny, or if they really think them. Either way, I'd just like to say that Sage Canaday is open and honest about his goals and picks himself up and moves on when he doesn't hit them and makes a living out of doing it. Everyone on this board would swap their life for what he's got.
Go Sage.

He should quit running at the mouth and focus on the running of the feet. Until he does that he will always be our sport's equivalent to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
At least he doesn't retweet AOC talking points all day unlike some other OTQ hopefuls. I appreciate he only talks about running.

It's mostly jealousy.

If he only talked about running, I would still be a fan.

Corn and potatoes are not meat.
I’d rather swap for Sandi’s life - she has become the bread winner the past few years in terms of results!

The Kalenjin have a long history of cattle raising and rustling:
Wiki:
"The Maasai era saw the formation of the new Kalenjin societies that at their core remained the same; these new societies, like the Sirikwa societies of the middle ages and after and the proto-Sirikwa before them were primarily semi-nomadic pastoralists. They were still raising cattle, sheep and goats and cultivating sorghum and pearl millet on the western highlands of Kenya[24] as they had since at least the last millennium B.C when they arrived."
I love this message board. Runners encouraging other runners.

You aren't good if the best American women can beat you. Hasay is faster.

Sage..you really should be recovering from your race and not posting on letsrun under fake names.
And no, I wouldn't swap my life for yours. I make waaaaaay to much money to be begging on youtube.
Sage did not sound confident before the race. He knew his last half was bad and he didn’t expect to break 2:20. I find him likeable and humble. My problem with him is that he is hurting his brand by continuing the road marathons and OTQ attempts. He just can’t crack 2:20 or 2:19 anymore. He needs to stay in the ultra world and at least have the illusion that ultras are hard and competitive. Everyone in real life I know who are no longer fast at marathons move on to ultras where they can brag about keeping 12 to 15 minute paces for hours. It’s not impressive at all. Sage needs to stay away from the roads and exposing his lack of speed. Maybe Comrades will be better for him because of its length.
No real improvement since college in the marathon. If anything, he has declined. Very similar to other veggie runners, like Amby Burfoot, Gerry Lindgren and Nicholas Filipazzo. Even though sage should have improved and be in his prime currently, he is declining. Sad.
12 to 15 minute pace? That's like a mid to back of packer. Popular 50 miles are won in the 7:15 to 7:30 pace range when the vert is 8 to 10k feet. 100 milers are won all the time in the 8:30 to 9:00 range for popular (non mountain) races.
I never intended this thread to be "I hate Sage Canaday" thread. The hate he gets is terrible. People will say being vegan slows him down. However, he claims to be well nourished according to the numbers. If he were to stop being vegan it could cause more harm than good. First, he has been vegan his whole life and his body is probably not used to animal products. Also, we should not hate a professional runner on this website. He is the fastest runner that is active on strava and Letsrun.com. Yes I know he is struggling and I understand the frustration but he is a ultra marathon guy. If he did 2 big marathons each year then things would be different. Sage would be 2:17 guy. I hope he doesn't see this thread, but if he does then good luck SAGE CANADAY. (Coming from a non vegan)
GO SAGE! We're all (at least most of us) behind you!
F**k the Haters!

This sums it up very well. Read it Sage.

Hey, he can at least still claim to being the world's fastest vegan marathoner! Kind of like being the world's smartest low-IQ person.
I don't think this is diet related really.
Point is he trains in mountains for trail runs and not that high milage.... of course he is not going to run a fast marathon.
Sage if you want to OTQ you need to marathon specific training not just for one block but as much blocks as you can until you do it.
You want to reign trails and also marathons just take a descision with one and be great in one of them instead of just average in both?
Nothing wrong with being average if thats what he likes tho.
