I reckon she’ll miss her target, 3:37 but all the excuses. Her BQ parameters have changed now anyway.

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 bits for repeating the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome.
her excuses so far:
“Dodgy oatmeal” (LOL)
Humidity when it wasn’t even a humid day
Rolled ankle @ the ASICS 10k
Had a stitch
Didn’t carb load enough
Chafing
any others?
She's going to roll her ankle trying to walk across their living room, this is even worse than Wellogs! 
Excuses mentioned today.
1. She's almost over her illness, meaning if she runs badly this could be an excuse.
2. Her period is due on Sunday, she said this is her superpower and she always runs well on her period, until she doesn't......

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!

The state of that room! She's definitely a dirt bag like welloggs. How her and her weasel bf can live in a grim and untidy place like this is beyond meShe's going to roll her ankle trying to walk across their living room, this is even worse than Wellogs!

She has packed her own oats guys, so that's one excuse she can't use.
can’t wait to see what she blames this time
Anyone wanna place bets? My odds are on period cramps or a new mystery injury.
The thing is, a 3:3X marathon is very respectable for a hobby runner, but it’s the fact she has a literal coach and has run 9 marathons now and has built a podcast based on her running which makes it so odd.

But her period is her superpower remember
. I'm going with stitches too, and she probably didn't drink/fuel enough during the race.She ran a 3:40:36 in the end
Alright but nothing to write home about considering the sheer volume of training she puts in.
Marathon and BQ attempt #10 incoming no doubt!!

3:32 is her PB according to Strava.
she ran a 3:32 at Chicago last year, cried over it A LOT and blamed “dodgy oatmeal” (I think that was her excuse for that one) and vowed to finally BQ next time and has since failed to do that
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!
