Liz Newcomer

[Asgyui]

I hope both her watches malfunction and she has no idea what pace she is running at

 

[Lemming312]

Dodgy oatmeal? How the hell do you get dodgy oatmeal? That's the most pathetic excuse ever!

 

[instaclowns]

She's vile and her boyfriend is a grade A controlling and abuse little rat

And in a decision which will surprise no one despite Liz claiming otherwise, she has accepted the MBA AND been offered a scholarship.

Why tf are University of Greenwich wasting a scholarship on some jumped up, privileged, bitchy brat from the US and not offering this to someone who could otherwise not afford the course, where it would make a difference? Shame on them.

 

[toomoo]

I've had to block her, she was getting way too smug and irritating for me to tolerate. Her entire identify is 'aiming to BQ', what is she going to do in a few weeks. She is bragging how easy all her paces are maybe 'coach' isnt so amazing and personalised and maybe it is holding her back. You just know Chicago content is going to be nauseating and countless videos of 'how i knocked 30 mins off PB' doing this that and the other (expense, privilege, income, time and genetics) .

I agree completely! Is it bad that I partly hope she doesn't BQ just to shut her and Gabriel up? She's pretty much acting and talking in her videos as if it's guaranteed.

They do realise paying an influencer to promote a digital detox place by posting tons of pictures and Reel of the place kind of defeats the point of a digital detox?

 

[SiennaSukiR]

Yes, I think she's still with Sally
She is so full of shit, she was saying on Thursday her period is her superpower, now she's blaming it for her bad run. And it was not a hot day, she's just grabbing at anything. Why can't people just say it was not my day, I had a bad race, why do they have to blame something?

Or just admit shes not in 3:25-3:30 shape? She is the definition of over-promising and under-delivering.

 

[SiennaSukiR]

She’s posted on Strava, think it’s a photo of her in a medical chair at the end. Reckons the heat got her at mile 15 apparently, she almost stopped, cramps blah blah blah. She’s got the back of her watch hand filled with splits, what an absolute bell end. And love the grind on the other because she wants to kiss Phily’s butt. But we go again in December!

looool there we go, the predictable excuses!
On her hand she also has written that she was aiming for 3:14-3:18
WHY does she set completely unrealistic goals? I aspire to be that level of delulu tbh

 

[Asgyui]

Not sure who is worse smug privileged Liz or creepy Gabriel. Her for failing to recognise the massive luxury and fortune of not only been able to run and finance Chicago once but almost immediately afterwards have capital free to book repeat trip! Yes it may be on credit cards but still that it not norm! Then because she is not feeling herself she splashes out on full Lululemon outfit.

Then Gabriel posting a Chicago experience, fully mic ed up and some bizarre background like its a tv production, when he has 10 followers and he didn't even run Chicago.

 

[Lemming312]

She was “pushing for” a sub 1:40 in her recent half and got 1:45:39
Not sure how she can turn that into a sub 3:30 marathon. Unless she wasn’t really putting her all into it on the day. She blamed it on the heat when it was hardly a blazing hot day in London.
Her running times are above average but considering this is her NINTH marathon AND she has a coach etc etc it’s surprising she hasn’t improved that much. Most people I know who are of a similar age/don’t have any illnesses have improved their times much faster without a coach and while working full-time / running a lot less.
there’s nothing inherently wrong with being not that good at running, but it’s kind of funny that she brands herself as an expert runner when her times are below par for someone who has been running so long and throwing so much time and cash at it. I think she’d be more likeable if she just admitted her mediocrity?

I saw someone saying it was going to be hot at Chicago so that's her excuse all sorted. I'm sure there will be new race kit with the ensuing chafing, she won't take all her gels during the race and have fuelling issues. She's almost as bad as Kelly and Tits for repeating the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome.

 

[toomoo]

Sorry, but what heat? Looking at the forecast, it seems relatively tame - peaking at around 18 degrees celsius but that's later in the day, the race starts in the early morning. Newcomer would have faced very similar conditions to training in London.

And sounds like she's doing Valencia? She's so obsessed with this arbitrary time goal that I feel maybe it would do her some good to sit away from a marathon training block and focus on shorter distances to build her base speed, or just running for enjoyment? Instead of rinsing and repeat the same thing over and over and not hitting her targets, despite throwing all the money at high level coaching and physios. Christ knows what she'll do with her life and her time if she actually hits her Boston goal one day?!

 

[toomoo]

Apparently she'll tell the full story on her podcast! Has anyone ever listened to it? I keep forgetting she even has one

Also, her big thank you post to all the people in her support team was ridiculous - who does she think she is?! Like thank them in person or whatever, it's all just a bit try hard for my liking.

I was technically my pal’s support network for the Glasgow half (ie I signed her up for the half when she thought i meant the 10k I’m pretty sure I said I was doing the half and she didn’t read the message properly, but whatever). I didn’t get an instagram post shout out….I just got called lots of rude things about seeing me next Tuesday and made to pay for lunch

 

[toomoo]

This made me chuckle. FUELLING before a walk around a shopping mall
How pretentious can you be? I'm so sick of the overuse of the word fuelling from these insta-losers. You're eating lunch. Get over yourself.

 

[SiennaSukiR]

It was 14 degrees (in the morning) which is arguably quite cold, certainly not hot. Does she want to run in the snow lol? Valencia will likely be warmer

 

[Mabelsonthetable]

Surely sharing you fertility tracker including intercourse days is a detail too much!
She must have generous annual leave if she is heading out to US two weeks before race. Is she pretending she is like a pro now with `acclimatisation'

 

[toomoo]

She's still slowing and doesn't look like she's been on pace at all throughout this. Really curious how she's going to spin this - given that she has been so confident throughout this block that this is her 'moment.'

 

[toomoo]

I loved how in that story she was planting some seeds but also at the same time bigging herself up about how great she is feeling... I guess jet lag is another obvious one, she's flying out on Thursday so the turnaround will be pretty tight.

The state of her and Gabriel's apartment one would have thought given the amount of free time she's had this year since being made redundant that she'd have had time to clean the joint!

 

[Fifah1907]

She hasn't grown on me
I wonder if New Balance have inside information that the marathon will be cancelled and that's why they are telling their athletes to defer, it makes NB and the athletes look good? But maybe I'm just a big cynic

*high five from cynic land*

 

[punter]

She needed to record a 4 min video to say she is not running it?
