Who do you think you are? Yeah sure, blame the whole thing on your knee, you little baby. Not everyone ran track or cross country in high school, you stupid jerk. Realize that those slow runners are often times the reason for medical advances. It's not in everyone's genes to be an elite athlete, so why take the feeling of accomplishment away from non-elite runners. So what if you don't approve. And maybe this will make you feel different coming from a sub 3:30 marathoner, you jackass. Also, not everyone starts at the top of their game. My first half marathon was a 2:29, which I've brought down to a 1:27 over the years. The only people that deserve to be bashed are the walkers that start at the front of the races, and people like you.
