The only people who seem to be raging are the ones trying to intimate that its a fake scenario, everyone else seems to be rolling their eyes or chuckling.
Exactly! That was my intention when creating this community - posts are meant to be entertaining, slightly humorous, maybe a little bit of schadenfreude. Not everything has to be super serious.
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.
I mean, just consider how astronomically improbable the entire situation is for a second instead of falling for rage bait.

What at all is improbable about it?
You really believe that some rando just happened to sit next to the person he was pulling stats about?
for this specific marathon runner, maybe, but there are a lot of professional athletes
