Thanks to @Instagrime for the thread suggestion however I have had to shorten it to fit!
Does anyone want to do a recap? Also do we want a poll making, open to ideas

Amazingly good summary!Attempted recap of the last thread…
Runfluencers
General annoyance at people who say yes to everything thrown their way. Specifically the Covid testing and great south run situation and the number of runfluencers given London places by flora for basically jack sh*t.
IG Coaches
A lot of discussion that you need to research your coach before you sign up for £70+ a month instagram coaching with people obsessed with times and just use copy and paste plans for all clients.
Kellogs
Continues to overtrain and race at every opportunity despite having a coach who thinks he’s gods gift to running. Desperate for a BQ but a long way off. Guilty of flogging all sorts.
The Welsh Runner
Takes Parkrun far too seriously, continually defends his coaching practice by just sharing PBs of his runners and rolls his dice at every opportunity. Also over training constantly.
Runnerbeans
Constant concealed or very poorly declared ADs. Very woe is me despite having the luxury to be able to reduce her hours and fly everywhere at the drop of a hat. Is back on the desperation of BQ bandwagon again.
Fudgie Runs
Creepy guy who likes to slide into DMs, accept any gift/AD possible and send dick pics to ladies. Got thrown out of running community groups because of his sleazy AF behaviour.
Good IG Accounts to follow
Head to the previous thread, a fair few are mentioned!
I think that’s the main jist… but do add more if you think I’ve missed anything!
For TGCRF or PMG head to their separate threads!
@Instagrime love the thread name

Monthly miles - just an excuse to post something, coffeeclown - just an excuse to show off his #gifted inov-8 coatHere’s one for you all! What is worse;
1. These wanky end of month posts sharing how many miles you’ve run, who really gives a tit?
2. Posts (morningcoffeeclown) letting us all know you’re not racing again for the rest of the year. Again, really who gives a toss?
My first six posts on IG just now after being away for the weekend and this was what I was greeted to! Not to mention one account still doing a race recap from London marathon
Oh also my husband has just asked me to ask if anyone has checked in on cat the runner? After her near death experience in A&E feeling so ill 24hrs before going for a park run meet up with ‘mr park run’ (chris x runs), curious if she run a marathon or anything today on her super miraculous recovery?

Went from sucking up to Brooks to sucking up to inov-8 where they supply gear for the trails he’d rather run on
Which is worse? Anything with that CoffeeBoy in is worse
See this a lot! Either fake followers purchased or people who followed for a lousy giveaway. The whole buying followers is embarrassing, see so many and one I follow is that urbanchallenger bloke. He uses awful filters on his photos and have over 10k followers, yet struggles to get engagement on his posts! Saw a free treadmill he got recently and his post had about 40 likes, which is awful for the follower totalSome of these brands must not do any due diligence at all, Coffeecups followers are all bought and fake.... you only have to scroll through a some of them to know that.
ANOTHER MARATHON. She’s going to be very disappointed that unicorn won’t happen because she didn’t just pick one A race to focus on this year.WHY won't these influencers give their bodies rest and recovery time!
Scrolling insta this morning, I see Paul bragging about running 10 events in 2 months, while Kelly is set to run yet another marathon next month.
Madness.
I'm really not sure what she is trying to achieve. She won't BQ in Valencia so it's just more needless stress on her body. Why not just relax and recover and start the new year rested..... ah, because that's not as exciting for the gram and stroking your ego with all the fawning commentsANOTHER MARATHON.

Valencia is not a good marathon to pick given some of her reasons for struggling with Berlin and London. It’s warm/hot and usually sunny and humid. With a lot of glare from the sun. But more than this, wtaf is she doing to her body that clearly is not coping well with this ridiculous pressure it is being put under. She’s going to cause herself some serious damage and it feels a little scary to be watching her do this, knowing how it will end. Wtaf is she doing and why is her “coach” not telling her no???? (I know we know the answer to the latter question). Makes me so mad.I'm really not sure what she is trying to achieve. She won't BQ in Valencia so it's just more needless stress on her body.

Last week it was all about having fun, no sessions, now it's a marathon in 5 weeks time! Another freebie she couldn't turn down despite not training for it?WHY won't these influencers give their bodies rest and recovery time!
