Why not tell him? Who wouldn't love that?
Someone who makes assumptions about women and confidently tells them how they should be doing the things they are already doing.
Just sounds to me like he's passionate about something. I guess he could be an ass, but to jump to that conclusion from just "you should train high milage" and then providing analysis is really a bit much.
My dad would be that guy, but he's a running coach and was a marathon runner for like 50 years, so he loves talking about it.
There definitely wouldn't be any thought of, "you're a woman so you need advice," since he'd do the same thing to a man.
In fact, if we actually accept this completely unbelievable story, the fact that he's pulling stats from Women runners shows he's not being sexist.
Probably more along the lines of "I found this amazing program, check this out"
This feels very much like an /r/thathappened post
As a running enthusiast whose varied from running ~25 miles a week to having to restart from nothing, what the guy is talking about is extremely common. I've followed many different plans from many runners, sometimes their names are attached, sometimes not, and most of them I couldn't tell you what they look like. I will say Olympic runners are the most common. I've even come across hers. Nothing about this rings as implausible to someone remotely interested in the topic. I guess I could understand from a total outsider perspective, but from someone who looks into that topic often? Absolutely plausible. I see no reason not to believe them.
Edit: the amount of stories Tony Hawk posts like this and never gets questioned also just makes me wonder a bit about why multiple people have already commented the way you did.
Pretty sure the Tony Hawk thing is like a running joke, I’m not sure how many of those are legit at this point. I still laugh at them all.
Wouldn't a guy analyze a guy's training instead of a women's? I don't run but I'd imagine that training would be at least a little different for women than it is for men.
I’ve never paid attention to the sex or gender identity of who writes training programs if the credentials check out
Not really. I'm sure elite performers, possibly. But training plans aren't generally gendered from anything I've come across.
Or maybe he's an analyst.
This feels very much like a /r/nothingeverhappens comment.
Inside you there are two wolves.
God damn it Moon Moon.
One smokes crack, The other smokes crack.
You are addicted to crack.
The expression should be “I had too much heart to tell him.” A person lacking heart would have told them, gleefully.
No, "didn't have the heart" doesn't mean you don't have heart, just means you have a different kind of heart, so it works fine.
I had too many hearts to tell him. My blood pressure is through the roof.
Or your a time lord
I didn't have any heart to tell him. I was dead.
A person lacking heart would have told them, gleefully.
TIL I'm lacking heart.
