Because distance runners are entitled weirdos who are completely out of touch with reality. Then when they finally decide to stop living the pipe dream, they become coaches and project all those issues onto the athletes that they coach.
I think it’s because most runners are soft upper class white people. They are self-absorbed and believe everything should be given to them because they are such a great people. They are confused and angry, that the world doesn’t seem to work that way.
Exactly, a full time career/family man who can run under 2:20 in the marathon has my utmost respect.
I’m talking about the 27 year olds running 2:18 and calling themselves pro runners on Instagram while living off mommy and daddy
lol I read this and the first thought that came to my mind was Sage Canaday and Seth James Demoor
I was thinking of a special athlete and his cast of wannabe pros that he hangs around with out in Seattle. Ok, at least the woman (girl?) just recently signed a sponsorship deal.
