I think this is what I've tried to say upthread a while ago and didn't really get my point across well. Her interest in it always seemed disingenuous in some way, it was all wanting to perform and not just for the enjoyment of a particular activity she'd gotten into. She wasn't doing anything objectively "wrong" but it felt off.I think her reasons for these mad challenges are rooted in ED behaviour and not by any real ability or talent
So true! I found her video annoyingly confusing in terms of timeline, but seeing as the 1st one was in summer in France, there wasn't that much time for her to recover and then try 2 more ultras by November. This was stupid.She was probably a bit overconfident or extremely naive
And obviously complete silence on YouTube after Black Friday.I just saw her latest post, pretending she didn't realise the first one looks like a wedding photo, clearly just dot for engagement, ridiculous
I agree. I hope she recovers, but I don't know what she was thinking having done a month of designing her training without eating, to then enter another 100-miler. It's such a common issue in these kinds of races.Has anyone watched her new video?
I sympathise with her having stomach issues and having to 'quit' because of an issue that (I'd assume) is out of her control. But I didn't really understand when she said that training was interrupting her normal life too much. I don't know what she was expecting. Surely injuries, gut problems, and balancing training with other responsibilities is part of the challenge of ultra running?
I don't know, I think she's sometimes overconfident and overestimates her abilities. It's ok to not be the best at everything. Her relationship with exercise doesn't seem very healthy anymore.
It seems to suit her so much better than the endurance training, it's nice to see her happier.I liked her newest video! It was like old Natacha was back - vlog type video going around London with Mario, and great gym footage sprinkled in. Hopefully she'll post more like this as I was not vibing with the running footage for the past year or so.
