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

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?!

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

Isn't a coaches job to be realistic with their client and set relaistic goals.
Is she still coached by Sally Ratcliffe?

Tbf to her, the 3.14-3.18 was supposed to be her 40k splits, not estimated finish time but she’s still full of tit. Blaming her period and the heat. Just own your performance, that’s still a great marathon time!
what will happen in Valencia?

Yes, I think she's still with Sally
She is so full of tit, 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.
Eurgh she's been given a gifted place to run Valencia by New Balance. I don't think I've ever seen her wear New Balance kit in my life - it's always been Adidas?
Also, whatever happened to her starting her MBA? There has been zero word on this and she seems to spend her days swanning around all the London coffee shops. There was a cryptic message on her 'liznewcomer' page about a week ago about coming to the realisation and acceptance that London isn't supposed to be a forever home and that she's going to appreciate it till her last day... due to elicit engagement, no doubt. Has the MBA which was supposed to sponsor her fallen through?

new balance has been fully ruined for me after they sponsored Mary McCarthy to run london in an elite kit and now Liz in Valencia. I’ve been so put off their brand!!
I hope she leaves London, she can take her annoying vibes elsewhere. Wonder if she’ll finally BQ at Valencia seeing as it’s known to be a fast course?
Really tone deaf if she announced a gifted place at Valencia whilst it’s in crisis. I can’t see it going ahead anyway but ducks sake, have some thought for others.
Have to laugh when people who live in cities walk up a little hill and say they climbed big hills and were really high up 🥱. The hill where we walk our dog and go running is a couple hundred feet higher than anything they walked up, and I wouldn't call it big.
I see Liz has announced her deferral from Valencia which seems like the smart thing and... I don't know what's happened but she has really grown on me the past few weeks!
I actually really respect that she hasn't become one of those basic insta runners like Mary McCarthy and her clique who spend all their time in Battersea Park and turning up to the opening of an envelope but is pursuing an MBA/work. One of my gripes has also been how privileged and out of touch she seems but she's also posted a lot lately about supporting marginalized groups, ie Palestine, the impact of Trump etc. and she seems so much more down to earth lately. Good luck to her getting her BQ time next year, I say! Go Liz!!!

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

Hi Liz or maybe you're her weird sex offending boyfriend?
I had the same thought
