I can't believe you bothered to take the time to write that. Who cares what his running pace is, and more to the point why do you?

I think the point of the submission was to highlight the quality of the site. Not some strangers fitness level.


In all his clumsiness, chatmasta is exposing the core topic of the website: What happens when one publishes his private data to the world? Criticism, mockery, or respect if you're lucky to have the right crowd. I'm looking forward to seeing someone stalked using data he published voluntarily, just for the social experiment. Will it be good? bad?


Some guy already tried this. He looked up instagram users in his vicinity, looked up their most recent photos, then found them and freaked them out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P_0s1TYpJU


Clicked around a little and didn't see how old he is. Personally, I could run a mile under 5 minutes in high school, ran track for high school and college, wore out my knee so it hurts constantly at any more running for years after, and currently I'd be happy to get any time at all nowadays. So 10 minutes could be quite good considering his life situation.


For what it's worth: he's 24 (see http://aprilzero.com/sport/).


With rovers shooting lasers on Mars I'm disappointed that ligament and joint repair isn't as routine as dental work. Actually, I'm also disappointed that I still have to brush my teeth. The technology trickle down doesn't really jump out at you, does it? Imagine a country redirecting a year of military spending to advance the smaller everyday things.


"Jeez louise"? Was that comment made by a 13 year old?
