Molly Seidel Started Hiding Her Runs on Strava Because of Creeps on the Internet

Don't know why you would want to share all your training info on the internet in the first place. It's not social media, it's just data.

Funny thing those Olympics. 4th place nobody cares. 3rd place and it's a big deal.

Lol, i guess the number of downvotes does not prove anything at all. The opposite seems to be true.

There is a difference in training in US, Australia, Norway and Africa and so on. Thinking that all is the same and there is everything clear an obvious in training is just ridiculous naive and narrow minded.

Guess why some coaches does not like if there runners share anything? E.g. Sara Hall just recently mentioned she trains something special and don't want to talk about.

Wake up dreamers. You can start the downvote process now, show me how little you know about training :)

Molly looks and sounds quite splendid on camera. She's made for it. She's articulate and charismatic. Some media outlet or 300 ought to avail themselves of those facts.

I'm a woman and work in local TV news (not in a huge market). The privacy concern is the reason I don't use Strava. I recently considered using my account because it seemed like a fun way to connect with other runners. But with some of the oddballs out there, it's not worth it to me. I worry about safety stuff enough b/c of the stories I cover or have to read.

yep, good idea

can they need posted after a couple of weeks?

Yeah some guys don't get this so here's a bad analogy for them to prob understand no better than before.

Imagine you live in a world where chimpanzees have Neuralinks implanted and have integrated into society, given all the same freedoms that humans have.

This almost sounds as if you are describing yourself.

Well, Jamin certainly is a Queen

Reality check - the public doesn't care about running and no one knows who molly siedel is. You running geeks are too much.

?

I run and I run well, but I am not obcessed about running. If I am not a running geek is that really a bad thing? It means I have a LIFE.

I believe it. After she posted that she was on a dating app, I checked plane ticket and rental prices in flagstaff.

Should Molly be worried that a certain Let's Run poster has recently searched for real estate in Flagstaff and is also asking about the effectiveness of pepper spray?

Didn't she post on her social media how she belittled a match on a dating app? Interesting.

Is it possible she looks vaguely Ukrainian.

This is a serious issue and you cannot be taken seriously.

My word. He actually said that?

It's part of her job as a pro runner to publicize herself and the sport and the shoes she wears, the clothes she wears, her training, her brand. She has 60,000 Strava followers. In the interview she mentions people showing up on her runs. That's stalking. There is a line between being a Kim Kardashian-type - basically exposing everything on reality shows, including her body, her emotions, her family, her relationships - and pushing your "brand" without going overboard - and also putting yourself in danger to stalkers, etc. Kim Kardashian has made tens of millions of dollars by basically... exposing everything about herself. Her talent is being a celebrity. Molly has running talent. Athletes, actors, singers, entertainers HAVE to do this to some extent. It sounds like Molly Seidel is still trying to find the right way to do this.
