[Guest]

Anyone know what's happened to letsrun.com? It seems to have gone offline.

Tell me what, as a whole, is objectionable about their main board? Of course, their message board sometimes leaves a little bit to be desired but there is nothing wrong with their main board.

Re: Letsrun?

Everyone likes to feel like they are more righteous than someone else. The Let's Run folks bag on Dyestat and the crowd here does the same to Let's Run. It aint nothing but a thing

So what made this pecking order?

Re: Letsrun?

LOL, Good question. It's probably like the old food chain poster in which the progressively smaller fish are about to be eaten by the next one up...

Re: Letsrun?

The age and education level of the posters probably sums it up best (and that said in non-judgemental fashion). The dyestat and letsrun posters, in general, would think of the people on this site as old farts, and basically rightfully so

I'd be willing to bet that at least 50% of the idiot posters (as opposed to the legit ones) on Letsrun are middle aged men and at least two are more on the elderly side.

Re: Letsrun?

Let's Run is not a bad site, but it is not as professionally designed as the Track and Field News site. Runners World has a pretty slick looking site.

Re: Letsrun?

The critical difference is there is much less tolerance of idiocy here than there (or even the IAAF forum, and esp. the Dyestat forum). I think (or maybe hope) that the level of language competence and actual sport knowledge is higher here. Of course the main reason this site is the best is that it's the only place you can read the gh rants/insider info.

It would be even better than it already is if he told us ALL the inside info he has.
