Just catching up on my instarunners and Liz never fails to make me chuckle at how unaware she is but is also so oddly fascinating that I can't help but keep watching.
She's lowkey on the beg again and made a Tiktok video earlier this week calling out Shokz because her fully charged headphones died on her during the Chicago Marathon and didn't last the full duration when she needed music and motivation in the back end. I'm sure Shokz are shaking in their boots!
And in her travel vlog from Chicago she spends much of it moaning about the quality of the hotel she's staying in (in downtown Chicago nonethless!) complaining about the noise and it being too small, so checks out early and goes to The Marriott which I suspect would not have been cheap on marathon weekend! She has no idea of just how privileged she is and is so out of touch! She also mentions in this same vlog that Gabriel was flying into Chicago later in the day so they spent the day apart and how weird it feels because they do everything together. Which proves everything we've thought about how unhealthy and codependent their relationship is. I genuinely think they have a very limited social life outside of themselves, especially Gabriel.
Finally, she's signed up to Chicago next year to 'redeem herself.' I hate instarunners using language like this - although she missed her BQ time, she got a 10 minute PB ffs, no need to redeem herself! It's just so toxic for any new runners who might think that if they don't hit their goal, they have failed. Liz seriously needs to stop making excuses on her headphones, watch, dodgy oats
ROFLMAO
and accept that on the day she just wasn't good enough. She gave it a good go and got close, but on the day, it just wasn't enough - and there's no shame in that - she probably does have a BQ in her, but just needs to move on and use this as motivation for the next one. So much for resiliency.
