    It’s extremely possible. I came across her plan in researching running. She’s popular. Not all runners publish stuff. She’s one of the few names in running I recognize but I couldn’t for the life of me even describe what she looks like let alone recognize her on my own.

    And why is this rage bait? Who is angry? It’s humorous. Why do you assume folks are supposed to be angry reading this?

      To your last point I think it could be read as him"mansplaining" it to her. He could also just be passionate about the topic and excited to talk about it. If it happened in any case

        I don’t see topics covering “mansplaining” as rage bait. It does indeed happen and calling attention to it is fair game. My best guess is that he is clearly passionate about it (I mean, honestly, that should be a given) but I’m assuming he reached the point where it’d be embarrassing if she let him know he just tried to explain her own training to her.
