It would be nice to see different people have the chance to represent huge events. There are some great people out there who don’t have a large following however achieved great things in the running world.

I don’t think I’ve seen her go to any of the events or meet ups for brooks for a long time. Just take the freebies. I know she’s got a baby but she’s got enough time to train for a marathon and there’s been plenty of times she’s posted going on drunk nights out so it’s not like she wouldn’t be able to have childcare for a day to attend.
I also noticed this, it seems like she takes the kit, tags them every 4-5 posts and never seems to be at any meet up events. I wonder if she applied again for next year. She was plugging 2XU last week however it seems Brooks are not very strict with letting their ambassadors wear other brands. This woman has life given to her on a plate.

1. Why would a company give her a marathon spot! 100% she begged them for it and said she has X amount of followers.

2. fair play for running a marathon

3. that’s more content for her narcissistic ways for the next 12 months.
4. I’m personally bored of the postpartum reference all the time now. Yes you’ve had a baby well done, get on with your life

Still annoying and still buys followers

wonder what she does for work as she mentions she has gone back to work

It’s quite refreshing to see Murphyruns not use a filter and be honest about her run today instead of her usual crap. Keeping all her fake followers (and creepy men) happy 😂

I don’t think you have to have achieved great things to represent. Otherwise it becomes very elitist. What I do feel is they promote and say they are ambassadors for personal gain and not to do with the actual company / organisation.
Take Murphyruns for example, flora, brooks, royal parks, that baby pram company. You really think she is a true role model for these brands and they hand selected her due to her affiliations and/or presence in the running world! Absolutely not. She will have hand selected and reached out / begged to be involved. Royal parks don’t even follow her on instagram! Flora have absolutely nothing to do with her, and as for brooks, that’s just such a terrible “run happy” group. They all are. Best runners for advice and guidance are now on YouTube not instagram.
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.

Well she has proven she can crop a screenshot, but clearly wants to dangle the ability to search her name and request to follow her still…

Because you can share that data in much cleaner formats and remain privacy secure…

I’d quite like to know what makeup setting spray she used cause she’s clearly wearing makeup but doesn’t seem to have budged. If I run in makeup after work when I haven’t bothered to take it off I end up with foundation sweat streaks everywhere
I think it’s her eyelash extensions and fake tans that make her look presentable. Fair enough if that makes her feel good but I still think she is so annoying.

I wonder why she didn’t get any shouts from any of the Brooks team on IG.
Her IG still says she’s part of it. But she’s not referenced by anyone….

This is bizarre! Maybe she is not on the team anymore? Or they just forgot about her? Very, very strange that they didn’t shout her out if she is on the team! Awkward!!

She always plays the naive card “I didn’t expect my time to be so good after only 11 weeks of training” oh fuck off!

Her smug face! I think it’s sad her baby has been unwell. I feel bad for her about that. I did find the photos of him lying on the hospital bed a bit distressing. As a parent, I wouldn’t dream of posting my sick children on my Instagram stories for thousands of people to see. Another cry for attention. I can’t see any other reason why someone would post something so personal.

The fact she mentioned she’s gone part time means we will surely see more posts and videos with her tongue out 😂😂 she doesn’t seem to have any real friends either… strange girl
You are right, she only posts selfies and videos of herself and never seems to have any running friends. She is a very average runner / person, nothing to be admired. Did you see her Q&A a few days ago?? 😂😂

Murphyruns stories have been crazy lately , her baby ate a coffee bean, she got her hair done and she graced us with multiple selfies loving herself in Tala active wear , which looks very tight and a size to small ( tad embarrassing). It’s all going off over there.

I reckon a mix of both. It’s not like any of her posts have suddenly got loads more engagement than previously so it’s obvious something is amiss.

Buying all those followers at least got her a 2xu PR invite to that Barry’s boot camp thing then

Good point, she could well be fishing for another freebie. Well if the last 2 weekends follower increase is anything to go by how many thousands followers is she going to go up this weekend?
