Haven't seen the video but also:
1. She is posting it all for sympathy and then later can make it even bigger thing by saying I DID IT AND NO ONE STOPPED ME I SHOWED IT!
Also isn't it weird that her dad said that last IM was his proudest moment?õ
2. Idk having not watched the video it seems sus like is it just an act idk.

When will she stop droning on and on about a "public" swimming pool being busy ..... get over it you aren't any better than anyone else they all deserve to be there. Drives me insane the ego and entitlement on her
Exactly, I bet she tried to get a fancy private one to give her a free membership and wading successful. Like all influcners she's just stingy with her own money
Maybe petty af but this really grinds my gears. According to Urban Dictionary: "Karen is an entitled person that complains to the manager about things that other people would not complain about." So actually, she is the Karen, as she is the one complaining... doubt the other people said a word.
I swim like 4 times a week in a public pool, and it can definitely be frustrating at times. But it's a cheap, public service, plus you can choose your times to go when it's quieter/classes aren't on, but also, that's just life! You get on the tube and you might not get a seat, your machine might be taken at the gym, you maybe can't get a parking space, that's just how it goes. No one person is any more entitled than others to do their swim. In fact you could even argue that older, less mobile people should be more entitled as they may have fewer options for exercise!
Exactly t
Exactly this, I go to the public pool too and you have to book, if there are 12 people in the lane Nd you're the outlier it means you're the wrong speed, not them
You just know she'll be internally seething that her best friend (cough rival cough) lucy davis finished the marathon faster
Yep!!! I thought exactly the same and now shes either saying, she wasn’t focussed enough or shes already training to beat Lucy’s pb next time
so sad lol
so sad lolAnyone watched her latest video where she says she has parted ways with her ironman coach? He did seem like such a douche in that video, pushing her far beyond what she was up for...
Haven't watched in ages, so is she doing it without a coach now?
I hadn't either, but thought I would check. At the beginning of the vid she did like a post-edit add on thing and said that a family member had died, and that her and Andrew (coach) had parted ways (hasn't said if she will get a new one or not just yet). Then in the actual vlog , looked like he pushed her really hard in Switzerland, she wasn't sleeping (WHOOP recovery was red), and was stressed as she had a family member ill in Spain. He pushed her to do loads of climbs on the bike, like 300km in 3 days or something and she was crying a lot, at one point saying it was by far harder than a full Ironman, he just told her to 'man up and get on with it'. She does irk me in a lot of ways, but have to say, after watching the vid, good for her for parting ways... He seems like a prick
Wow that's nit a good ad for his business
I’m not particularly a fan of her but he didn’t come across well in her latest video at all. We have to remember she’s in charge of the editing, and she chose to leave those clips in, which makes me think she‘s definitely going for a particular narrative 
she definitely wanted viewers to read between the lines and feel sorry for her.
A tough love approach works for some people, so it doesn’t necessarily make him a bad coach, but I don’t think he’s a good fit for her. Maybe in the beginning of her training when she was just starting out and trying to find her routine/motivation it worked, but not now. I think she’s actually quite emotionally fragile/vulnerable behind the loud front.

I guess also, she (portrayed) being some genetic unicorn in terms of fitness and this doesn't fit that narrative doesn itI’m not particularly a fan of her but he didn’t come across well in her latest video at all.

Havent watched the video yet, but this is his story and she commented on his video a week ago?!

Very true, not the genetic unicorn she claims to be l, surprise surprise training for an iron-man is difficult
I don’t necessarily think that was the issue in this case. Training so hard when you have so significant life stressors is near impossible (and a major reason why recreational athletes with full time jobs and families plateau).
She probably was at a breaking point from the beginning of that trip emotionally + guilty of not being with her family and this sort of training broke her. Plus her coach likely didn’t appreciate how unwell she was which made things worse.
I don’t normally watch her as I find the whole food obsession rather boring, but this video was hard to watch.
