I don’t understand the push for professionalization in trail running, especially as it relates to coverage. The major sports are even going in the opposite direction. The NBA made Inside the NBA their top program, the ManningCast for Monday Night Football has won multiple Emmys, every MLB team is trying to build a meme worthy broadcast booth. No one wants to hear the same old boring sideline report. Certainly not in trail running when there’s so many great personalities both among the elite and amateur.
It is hard to get through to the actual arguments these days when the whole thing is reading like AI. It has been an obvious and disappointing downgrade to your actual opinions, and unfortunately makes your pieces unreadable lately.
Fair enough. The actual arguments or opinions are not AI generated, and I’m less interested in whether writing “sounds AI” than whether the ideas are worth engaging with.

I’m certainly not advocating for anything boring. Mostly just that at the very least making orientation upon entry a non-negotiable value.
I suppose that will come with more time... and money. BTW - I love your work, so hope I didn't come off too negatively.
Do you guys use AI to write/edit your substack pieces?
I use AI for editing drafts, but the arguments/opinions are all mine.
What do you think of the actual argument though?
