You are right.
But just because you are a little younger and a little faster does not mean you do anything else than a recreational hobby.
Why do you care, if they enjoy it what is the problem?
When young people take themselves seriously and express their opinions it appears pathetic. They should leave this to the more experienced older people.

I never said I was young. However you are obviously insecure about this issue.

Age group/master's awards say otherwise.

Pathetic. Please come up with a better response than an old man hugging his trophy.

And you, who went to the trouble of starting a thread about this could not possibly be insecure about this issue.

I find it utterly pathetic when older people are onto competitive running. Just plain sad really.

It is so pathetic when older people get offended at my thread topic. This simply confirms my point.
It depends on how fast they are. A masters guy (35+) training seriously to run a sub 5 mile is inspiring, but a masters guy training seriously to run a sub 22 5K is pathetic.
Yeah, Ed Whitlock breaking 3 hours at age 70 was just pathetic. Almost as pathetic as his breaking 4 hours at age 85. He should have hung up his running shoes and took up shuffleboard at age 40.
I'm sorry he was so much faster at such an advanced age.

But you didn't offend anybody.
Every older runner knows that you are just a mediocre young douche which times we would have beaten at the same age. I almost start crying every time my Millennial running group friends talk about the running times.

Edit: unless he's 75+, then training seriously for a sub 22 5K becomes inspiring again.

You are incredibly insecure. You are the subject of this thread. You cannot see how pathetic you are?
Couldn't be more wrong if you tried, try....100%.

I can't fully judge you until I know:
1) What is "older people"? 30? 50? What age?
2) What defines taking running seriously? Running 6 days a week? Giving running priority because it is good for their health? Racing? Running in a road race for fun?
3) I see you said "recreational hobby", but does that mean they can't race? Most people, probably including you, don't race for money.
You need to be clear on your stance here. Also, are YOU a professional runner? If you, then you are just a hobby runner.
Try an obvious know nothing running their mouth, that is the problem.
