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.

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.

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.

I've never come across anyone that just pulls out a training schedule when I say "I run".

Usually there's some follow up questions about goals, training, whatever.

But just straight up grabbing your phone and pulling out a training schedule? THAT'S the implausible part, not that he was using her training schedule.

I mean, just consider how astronomically improbable the entire situation is for a second instead of falling for rage bait.

That's because it is. We're supposed to expect that a random person had compiled detailed running stats on a person he just happened to sit next to on a plane.

This is just a story to manufacture outrage, like most of social media.

Where's the outrage? This is a funny story in the same vein as Tony Hawk's various "You look like Tony Hawk" moments. Its like everyone in this thread saw its a woman and assumed she's complaining instead of telling a fun story.

Edit as I realize half the comments trying to call this rage bait are literally just you instigating lol. Touch grass.

I’m not sure why you assume the person was random. There’s no indication that she hops on planes randomly. Professional runners do a lot of traveling to and from events, and it makes sense that other people connected to the sport (and likely to have detailed running stats on runners) might also be on those same flights.

It depends on the analysis. I've done plans and there are tools that just print out the analysis of how well you improved in different areas. It could have been an analysis of trying the plan. Once you're into long distance, you may try different plans to get past a plateau. I don't see how you could analyze the plan itself, so I just assumed it was an analysis of implementing the plan. Cause that's common.
