    Honestly, I don't care if he directs us to an official government website that pictures an Elizabeth crossing the finish line at 2:10 carrying a sign reading "I'm Humblestunner's daughter" with an apology from David Cameron about the screw up on the race time.

    His daughter has run at least one half marathon (according to him) and could have been running half marathons every year since she was 12, for all we know. Or she could be completely fictitious. There is no way we'll know for sure.

    The program is still unfeasible for most runners and almost all new runners.

    This has gotten... shameful. There's no reason to call out the OP like this.

    So nobody is allowed to ask the OP an question then about something he wrote???? Since when did that ruling come in?

    Wow there's a lesson to learn eh, take everything as gospel at face value, sod the fact it may be dangerous.

    Ask him a question? Sure.

    Launch what amounts to a witch hunt where you all but accuse him of being a dirty lying liar, lying about his own daughter? And do it with sweet-as-molasses language trying to make it sound like you're oh so nice and just curious, while we all know you're just trying your best to discredit him? No. No you're not allowed to do that.

    Well, you are *allowed* to. But it's far, far beyond reasonable.

    my thoughts exactly. Yes we get it you don't agree with the OPs training plan. But it's rather pathetic trying to find fault with everything he's posting and looking for conspiracies where there isn't one. I suggest people do acting like 5 year olds and grow up. If you don't agree fair enough but why Labour the point. I'm sure if we waded through anyone's posts we could find fault just grow up people

    I don't think the post you quoted means what you think it does.

    I was in the entire thread.

    It got disgusting around the time it stopped being a debate around safe training methods, and turned into accusations of OP lying about his daughter's times and outright demands of proof.

    Indeed. Play the ball not the player, and whilst one might think that the originator was full of *kitten* that doesn't really excuse the approach.

    Even if he was genuine he demonstrated a pretty typical reaction to the responses from others.

    My apologies. I had conveniently forgotten about that part of the thread. I had said my piece about the program and moved on.

    Yeah, Let's just move on and forget this. Sorry about bringing it up. I just thought the programming was worth a mention.
