I think she did a 35k the week before the marathon and then that was meant to be her taper week - i.e. tapering down to shorter distances before the big race.she’s considerably fast so i thought she would have managed to squeeze a 35k in somewhere
strength training would mean gaining weight, right?So she has a new video out and wants to "explore" strength training. I wonder what form of exercise would she explore when she has a fracture or something? Because it just never seems to stop.
Yes it could. Only if you fuel properly. Gaining weight needs a lot of bulking. That includes healthy fats and proteins. Not raw veggies and oats.strength training would mean gaining weight, right?
She's looking so thin again...Also - was she just trying this on or was she really already exercising again????1?1?1?1?

Didn't she make a big show of allegedly 'having' to use crutches that one time?Also, the point was just that she shouldn't be exercising on an injury. Cardio or strength. This makes me wonder if her injury was that serious afterall?!
When it comes to ED'S nope. I have known people to continue intense exercise with broken limbs. They don't think like a rational person.Didn't she make a big show of allegedly 'having' to use crutches that one time?
I assume that if the injury is bad enough she genuinely won't be able to exercise on it at all?
i think if she’s doing it for the sake of running, not really. for non-disordered people gaining weight, even from muscle isn’t really advantageous because it’s just more effort for you to carry more of yourself round the long distances. strength is important for good form and preventing injury (and getting faster), but it’s not really the ‘gain lots of muscle’ kind, it’s the ‘making whatever muscle you do have very strong’ kind. which is a step in the right direction for her for sure, but only if accompanied by sufficient rest and nutrition, and ideally not doing the sessions it on the same day as astrength training would mean gaining weight, right?
I am watching her new video right now and she said she stopped working with her coach because 1) she had a foot injury ("just a niggle") during her first two months of training and that was why she did not get much out of training with the coach, 2) her coach "had a lot going on in his personal life" at the time and therefore Holly didn't get much out of the training, 3) she felt she would be better off just following a training plan template by herself, 4) she would get anxious and put intense pressure on herself to run faster when she knew her coach would see her stats, to the point of getting very frustrated and angry with herself every time she had a bad run, so she stopped working with the coach to avoid that kind of pressure.Does anyone know why she didn't continue with her coach when she was training for the marathon?
Gosh that’s a lot to unpack. Given Holly’s mental state I doubt she’d be happy with any coach or being told what to do. Maybe her and her coach weren’t the right fit but I really doubt she’s in the headspace to be able to surrender control like that to someone, especially if they’re telling her to run slower (most of your Mara training should be much slower than your Mara pace).I am watching her new video right now and she said she stopped working with her coach because 1) she had a foot injury ("just a niggle") during her first two months of training and that was why she did not get much out of training with the coach, 2) her coach "had a lot going on in his personal life" at the time and therefore Holly didn't get much out of the training, 3) she felt she would be better off just following a training plan template by herself, 4) she would get anxious and put intense pressure on herself to run faster when she knew her coach would see her stats, to the point of getting very frustrated and angry with herself every time she had a bad run, so she stopped working with the coach to avoid that kind of pressure.
Can't honestly say that any of these explanations make sense to me.. but then again it's Holly so weirdness abounds anyway
Edit: Holly also mentioned that both her mum and her dad have now applied to run the London Marathon next year too...talk about a competitive family.
Lol can you post a pic? That said if they’re uggs I’m Australian and guilty as chargedDoes anyone else have a deep hatred for those slipper boots she wears? Every time i see them i feel a surge of anger and hatred towards them
Apparently they're 'foot warmers' that dancers wear. Holly, Emily, and their mom all wear them (presumabĺy as part of their "former dancer" identity) and Holly often goes on about how great they are. I hate myself for knowing this. I really need to watch less youtube lmaoDoes anyone else have a deep hatred for those slipper boots she wears?

Had a housemate who was attempting to "healthily" bulk once. He was trying to get up to like 3.5k calories a day by eating "healthy meals" of oats and kale. Unsurprisingly he felt sick all of the time as you need a stupid amount of kale to make up calories.Yes it could. Only if you fuel properly. Gaining weight needs a lot of bulking.
