Sage did you really need that sponsorship? Is that watch really all that great?

It looks like your title got cut off...
It's just business. What don't you get about business? Sell, sell, sell and keep your suppliers happy. Not any different here than it would be in any other country in the world. I take care of you, you take care of me.
Anybody on Strava with that watch will have the same Coros ad.
You must only follow one user of their products.
Several months ago anybody with a specific Ambit watch had an ad attached to their activity.
In a few months maybe another watch brand will agree to a strava ad agreement in the same manner.
Sage Canaday is probably sponsored by his parents.
I’m pretty ambivalent towards Sage, but these posts are really lame.

Anytime someone uses the COROS watch this automatically populates on the Strava activity (I'm not even sponsored by COROS...yet). It's not something I add or tag within the Strava activity though. I really do like the VERTIX btw.
That being said I'm all about #shamelessproductplugs to support my sponsors. Never subtle...and usually blunt and "in your face" plugs. I don't even try to hide them as I'm very proud of my sponsors and realize that social media as an athlete is about advertising in many ways.
And I don't receive money from my parents. I didn't get an allowance as a kid growing up even. There are a lot of "trust fund 'pro athlete's" in Boulder. I am not one of them. My parents have always been very supportive of watching my running races, crewing for me, and being there for me (offering moral support and encouragement etc)...but financially they are not "rich" compared to most Americans. Very middle class in the US. Actually you can ask Rojo how much financial aid I got (need-based) from Cornell because by Cornell standards we were a "poor." It was more affordable for me to go to Cornell than it would have been to go to Oregon State. I still had to work part-time to make ends met in college as part of the federal student aid as well.
When I moved to Boulder 7 years ago I had all my stuff packed into my super high mileage '97 Rav 4 (that I bought for $3500 in cash in MI.) and a few thousand dollars of life savings to my name. I had zero sponsors at the time and had to get an entry level customer service job at OtterBox for $10 per hour. Through online coaching and slowing growing an audience on social media and plugging away at the youtube channel (as well as racing frequently) I was fortunate to gain some sponsors over the years. Slowly my dreams became a reality.
Now thanks to the support of sponsors and the generosity of the running community as a whole I've been able to make it in Boulder as a pro athlete ever since then. I finally paid off my own student loan debt a few years ago. And I bought a condo.
Dreams really do come true!

Usually a big yawn and trolling clickbait any time someone uses your name in the title of a post nowadays. I commend you for staying classy and still responding to every post that targets you. Your life must be exhausting enough training and selling your brand.

Yeah, it's not like he's never been the one to start a thread about himself;)

You forgot to plug your sponsors.
Truth be told (and you can believe me or not I really don't care). I've never started a thread about myself on here. I can see why people get rubbed the wrong way with some of my social media antics (or they disagree with my diet etc.) That's all part of the territory of being active online (and for that matter posting under my real name on here!). I'm all about transparency and honestly though. It seems like there are a few people/[one person ] who really dislike me for some reason (And I really don't think I've wronged anyone in life...I haven't slept with anyone's wife etc.). While I certainly ran my best half and full marathon times at Hansons I can't say I was better off there (or just focusing 100% road marathons). It is really hard to make any money at all when you are just a 2:16 marathoner in the US! Even back then... Now I get to travel a lot more internationally and there are more opportunities in MUT Running for me. There are some really cool and beautiful trails/mountains out there in the world to explore. The running community (and my sponsors) has been extremely supportive and generous and for that I'm forever grateful.

Look at it this way, while they're picking on you they're leaving Jamin alone.
Oh yeah, Jamin hasn't slept with anyone's wife either, come to think of it, he hasn't slept with anyone.
There's always a positive side to everything. wrote:

1 easy trip to Vegas and that problem dissapears
I have read several of Sage's comments and judged by how gracefully he puts up with criticism he seems like the kind of guy I would enjoy engaging in a conversation. Not only does he seem reasonable and bright, but I always have a soft spot for people who undertake great tasks for uncertain economic rewards. There is not a chance in hell I would do marathons or ultra's as a living (and I didn't suck, 3:40 1500m), but in some strange way I admire people who do things like this. Like Sage, I have a good education that I paid for myself (no parents at all). I wouldn't have the courage to monetize this education through something like maintaining an ultra running blog or even running. It is just a very narrow way to make a living. Nevertheless, as someone who got on the fast track after school, was very successful, and paid for it with endless hours and to some degree my health, I admire guys like Sage.
I admire Sage. I’d also pay for view ($50) to watch him fight Coevett. Come on bros make it happen. Sage smashing coevetts racist jaw would be heavenly.

No. He has said countless times that he is not a trustfunder. I think he said he worked for otter box. I’m sure his YouTube channel does Ok. He’s a smart dude

The question is - would you be able to pull your hand away from your little dong watching Epiopians on one screen and bestiality movies on another, to watch Sage go vegan power and deck me?
BTW, I have an advantage over Sage as I consume lots of dairy, but no meat.
I love Sage anyway, and I'm sure he'd rather break the jaw of a doping apologist scum like you rather than me, if he did have any violent thoughts at all, which I'm sure he doesn't.
