Hello you savages. The full length episode with Rich goes live this Monday - press Subscribe!

[@jamjam-1418]

To quote the ancient proverb from David Goggins, “You don’t get hate from someone who’s better than you.”

[@sp-lc1fy]

Hate comes from the bottom, Rich Cooper.

[@mattk8810]

No. Its that a guy like that is clearly doping. He is vain and doesn’t have a runners body and came out of no where as an elite runner.

[@fbinformant]

​@mattk8810 what is a runners body?

[@33moneyball]

People hate combos of greatness, especially unusual ones. A woman who’s gorgeous and very intelligent is an example. A super smart and really athletic dude is another. Will is an example of that…you can be muscular/attractive or a real ultra guy, but not both.

Chris has an underrated skill, he knows when to listen and when to add to the conversation

Never thought I'd ever be rich rolled

Is this a rich roll?

[@Kelly_Ben]

One thing i love about ultra running is that it's for EVERYONE. Race, religion, gender, body type, clothing choices, income don't matter. (Though income opens doors to more awesome races. ) I don't care what you LOOK like. I care what you do and how you treat others while you do it. I do believe in transparency as far as pain killers/ performance enhancers though.

[@threatened2024]

There are physiological reasons why top ultra endurance athletes aren't well-muscled. The testing protocols in place aren't at WADA level, which is still flawed, but you'll never see an Olympic marathon runner, or race walker, built like this. I was once in belief that a particular athlete was drug free, and my coach asked me "what makes him any different to anyone else?"

[@aconsideredmoment]

No one bullies and casts out like some of those who were bullied and cast out. Nonconformist conformists. Sad. Running is pure and there to welcome everyone who is able or interested in becoming able one step at a time. Good on ya.

How is Chris so articulate?

He's British.

[@MasterMalrubius]

He's English.

[@odnilniloc]

It’s a British thing, it’s just how we are, in general.

[@rogerc23]

Rich Roll is too. It’s just so nice hearing English spoken so much more poetically.

[@thedeadlyexplorers7514]

Can't wait for this Yarn

[@elsbells.]

So because he is handsome/ attractive and more muscualr he *can't* be an ultra runner and had people even try and suss him out/ try to prove he is cheating?! Wow...

[@carycimino7699]

@@threatened2024yes it is jealousy

[@sp-xq2id]

Actually, they try to prove he's a cheater because he's an incredibly obvious cheater, and a gargantuan fraud. (Also an incredible a**hole, if you pay a little attention.) Not sure why this should be so tough to understand, but hey, there's no law against being an idiot, I guess.

[@elliottchard]

what makes him a fraud? Genuinely interested to hear your perspective@@sp-xq2id

Would love to see Devon Levesque on here.

How about mentioning how saucy Ross Edgley looks and almost certainly is. Not to take away from his achievements but being on PEDs certainly contributes to his training. Us lay people would love transparency from these popular fitness influencers.

Not sure if using opioids to get through races necessarily makes you a savage. He said it himself. It makes you a bottom feeder from my perspective.

[@johndepledge1811]

I think MorePlatesMoreDates has looked at Ross Edgley.
