I think he's entitled to that though, being an ex-world record holder. I feel like he's making a comment about the distilled essence of what running means to him, and how that is different to what a lot of people consider running, ie "anyone willing to move their body for any given amount of time".
In the same way people who race bikes, may not actually share that much in common with people who ride to the shops.

I’m sorry, being really good at something doesn’t afford you a monopoly over it. I’ll give reverence where it’s due but not if it means exclusion of others. To allow the sport to continue to grow it needs to be inclusive otherwise it becomes golf. Cycling is never a standard to aspire to either, as much as I live it.

Or am I getting this wrong? Is this like when Andy Ellis proclaims he isn’t a cyclist? 🤷🏿♂️

I'm happy for him and his purism but this is runners' elitist nonsense. I want to be part of something that welcomes people of all abilities and strengths. Sure enough the big companies are exploiting the market but I'm more than happy to run alongside anyone willing to move their body for any given amount of time.
