I’m sure she’s ago she did a big post about how she was hiding everything on Strava because someone had basically worked out where she lived etc and she realised it was dangerous.

If that was true, why would she have ever made her runs public again anyway?

I haven't followed her for years but I know what city she lives in (we all do, it's on her strava clear as day), and because I used to live around there most of the time I can pinpoint what lake/field/area she's running around. It's not hard if you know that part of the world.

Here she goes again, more freebies. Royal Parks Ambassador. Is she a good runner or someone to look up to on the running world? Or is it because she has a large (fake) following that she gets all this stuff?

Yeah it wasn’t that long ago she gained about 15-20k followers overnight and then when called out on here she started deleting them one by one 😂

What is the point of doing this when you can check so easily using websites like Social Blade? Is there really anything to be gained?

I genuinely don’t dislike or like her, she just annoys me

she’s a very basic amateur runner so she’s not someone to look upto in the running world

she doesn’t sell a service or product

so why do 26000 people follow her? Genuine baffles me. I wonder how many followers without purchased Ones she’s actually have.

I have a 3 and 7 year old and back doing park runs and am proud of that but I wouldn’t sell my soul on Instagram for some free trainers from Brooks running

all just very weird

100% agree with you, she is no more than an amateur runner who hasn’t done anything spectacular or different from your normal, everyday runner, yet she has a mass following. She is quite pretty and the majority of comments on her posts are men so maybe blokes see her on the explore page and follow her because of that.
“Sell my soul on Instagram” that made me laugh as you couldn’t be more accurate 😂

Here’s to the next 12 months of ‘postpartum’ PB’s and narcissistic selfies!! Bore off!

@pickledplum5 she is almost at 30k followers now! That is around 4K in around 2-3 hours. They must be bought? Or bots?

Buying them is bots/fake accounts so there is absolutely no way she’d get that many in the short space. I can see her account going private soon or off the grid for a few days, I’m calling it now

All seems quite on her now. Her following seems to have stayed and now her marathon journey is over hopefully she realises she’s of no interest to others. Other than old pervy men she entertains with her choice of outfits!

I noticed she’s been very quiet since the marathon? Instagram is a much nicer place without her. Lol, running around half naked tends to attract the creepy old men 😂 they must be missing the cringey videos by now 😂 I did notice a couple of the Brooks people post the new kit so no doubt she’ll be back with boring mirror selfies and soon.

Compared to previous flora runners - fair play to her and she is due credit. Promoted it a few times in stories & grid posts and ran the marathon in the flora top.

I don’t imagine flora go into it wanting more than that…

Why is she due credit? 😂

The majority of Flora runners promoted it exactly the same way, did they not? (Except Runnerbens, I think she did one reel and didn’t run in her Flora top!) And a bunch of them did a training session with Paula Radcliffe that was all over Instagram. I don’t think Murphyruns did anymore more or less than most of them to be honest.

Which previous runners didn’t promote it?

Surely her husband should be saying. We are purchasing our child’s stroller not you begging or showing off on insta to get one. A very strange setup


I’ve heard she emails and literally sells herself to become an ambassador for companies. Did she ever do anything with flora after they gave her a London marathon spot? I don’t see her on the tubs of butter 😂😂 also she has her own bloody website about her hahahaha

The website! 😂 I think it’s meant to be a blog… whatever floats your boat I guess… 😂

The ‘getting ready with me’ post that she has done (and many other influencers) are completely pointless. “Look at me getting ready for a run” - why is this engaging? Runnerbeans has done a lot of these lately. I don’t see the point in the content, am I missing something? It’s not educational or helping me in any way. I’m sure we all know how to get ready for a run.

It’s basically one big #AD for the clothes/shoes they’re wearing 🥱 that they’ve all been gifted 🤣

Royal parks don’t even follow her on instagram,
Haven’t shared her videos at all. So she’s probably messaged them and said can I have a free entry if I post your race.
