I didn't think this was cringey but it was certainly ignorant. Sellers would obviously have the potential to be a faster runner if she wasn't obligated to stand up all day for her job. Your running career will not last long, you can always go back to being a nurse when it's over.
How is that statement ignorant? Full time professional runners do have a lot of down time.
Not a criticism. There's just only so much training and ancillary stuff you can do in any given 24 hour period. The do and should have "a lot of Netflix time."
Then they should be working when they are not running. It could be argued that American running took a dive once runners became "professional" and stopped working day jobs. It could also be argued that the fortitude Sellers displayed was because she has a real job that requires her full attention and can be very stressful. She didn't just bow out due to some rain drops or "tummy trouble."
