The titling and response is absolutely ridiculous without the context of coaching - pillow soft, snowflake, whaaaambulance, etc. I title a lot of my runs and the primary purpose is so I can look back at them weeks, months, years later and glean context from them. A 5.9 mile run Jan 9, 2016 @ 7:08 pace titled 'afternoon run' doesn't tell me as much as a 6.3 mile run @ 8 flat pace the same day a year later. That run is titled 'There's a thin line between runner appreciation and runner rage.'
That was my first encounter with someone rolling through a stop sign and almost hitting me. It was a cold, windy, snowy day. I had every inch of my body covered except for a little slit for my eyes. I saw a car approach as I trudged along the snow covered sidewalk. This was the second consecutive crosswalk in which I was encountering a vehicle and at the one prior I could see the driver was struggling hitting the brakes, so I waved him ahead so he could just focus on controlling his car and not have to worry about me too. Courtesy wave by both of us and we went about our days. But the car at the next intersection had other ideas - it became clear as we were about 5 seconds from our path's crossing that he wasn't stopping nor looking in my direction so I stopped, crossed my arms, and just glared. He turned his head when he was about 3-4' from me, slammed on his brakes, rolled down his window and started yelling at me. Probably a good thing I had my music on so I didn't hear what he was saying, so I just gave him the finger then went on my way. It's also not a coincidence that my pace went from low 8's/high 7's pre-encounter to low 7's for the next mile or so until I calmed down. The not seeing me was obviously irritating, but to react the way that #### stick did lit a fire.
So I couldn't tell you a single thing about 'afternoon run' from 1/9/16, but just be titling my 1/9/17 run what I did I remember several details about that day's workout - beyond just what the data says. And when I'm evaluating where I am vs. different points in time context matters.
So while I can see where this guy may be coming from with the titling of this workout since his objective is to make money coaching he needs to be better aware of his audience. Commenter's still a schmuck though.
