It is fairly frustrating, but also sometimes very entertaining to have people offer advice. Most recent occurrence, at the gym after swimming, an eavesdropper says "I can improve your race times." Sure you can, at this point, ANYONE can. It went on to be a lot of outdated advice about running, how to increase speed by running downhill full speed with high knees, to "tow" behind a car up to 30 mph to you realize you can move that fast, etc. Nonsense basically.
I still remember swimming a few summers ago, and when I got out of the pool a hot tub sitter says, "Can I give you some pointers?" so I replied, "sure, why not." He says, "You would swim faster if you breath to each side". No kidding?!? I was just trying to get back into swimming after being pregnant, and when I'd put my face down and turn to each side it would make me sick to my stomach. Thanks buddy, keep sitting in the hot tub.
