Hold on sheā€™s doing ANOTHER marathon?! I did London and f*d up big time. Ran it a hell of a lot slower than planned (more than 30 secs per mile slower) therefore much less stress on the body than the goal. I still respected the fact it was a damn marathon and allowed myself to recover. Only really felt myself last week, and didnā€™t train much because of it. The thought of doing another 2 marathons in which I wanted to actually aim for a goal time is unfathomable
FFS, she is going to break herself. Surely there's a good reason why most runners, even at the highest levels, target only a couple of marathons a year? And somehow Kelly is going to be the one that defies the odds and BQs a few weeks after getting nowhere near in 2 successive marathons?

I really really want to like her, and I'm sure in real life she's actually a lovely person, but her actions and behaviours on social media are nothing short of idiotic and probably dangerous.

One of the comments on the post says "you'll get your BQ Kelly - can't wait to see you do it". At this rate mate, you're going to be waiting a long bleeping time. Kelly replies "hell yeah! Keep grafting until it happens". At the rate you're "grafting" it won't be long until you can never run again.

If you're reading this Kelly, please please spend the next couple of months resting, recovering, and doing some very easy runs and walks to keep things ticking over, pick a marathon a year or more from now, and target that. Work hard over the year to build your base, learn more about how it affects your T1D, and then start building up the speed if you still want to target BQ pace/time. And you can have that advice for free, unlike the crap your dopey boyfriend is dishing out to the other mugs on IG.

So Gen has admitted she has a virus that has caused her HR issue but is claiming thatā€™s the fault of the vaccine. These anti vaccine activists will spin anything to support their mental agenda šŸ˜‚

Wait, the vaccine gave her a virus?? So when I had a cold the other week, was that the vaccine too?

Only if you had raised CK levels in your blood (due to overtraining). Why is she allowed to spread misinformation and why is she so arrogant?!?!

She reckons the vaccine ā€˜made her immune system weakā€™ and thatā€™s why sheā€™s got a virus. Not the fact that viruses have been a thing forever and chronically overtraining affects your immune system. Her ā€˜influencingā€™ is extremely dangerous

Google Genā€™s name and ballet šŸ‘€
She shares a fair bit about him. Itā€™s kinda sad, wouldnā€™t wish that on anyone

Report her posts for misinformation. Thatā€™s the only way sheā€™ll be able to stop spreading such dangerous tit.

If you read some of the comments in the articles it sounds like the parents often complained about the school. No one has ever told her ā€œnoā€. Sheā€™s a spoilt brat. Yes, his comment was wrong and Iā€™m not making judgement on that side of things, just the comments about the family are interesting. I kind of know her and sheā€™s a nightmare. The way she speaks to her parents is disgusting.

Iā€™ve reported so many of her posts!

Oh I havenā€™t read about the complaints, whereā€™s that? The way she talks about EVERYONE is absolutely vile. If she was a member of this forum weā€™d be getting through 50 pages per day of her rants šŸ˜‚

Gen is such a spoilt diva, what's the guesses she just wasn't a very good dancer but considered she was a pro like she thinks she practically an elite runner. I'm surprised the other day she just said she would simply have to fly to England to see a specialist, as a matter of urgency, how many people are in that fortunate position. She is crazy beyond belief.

That made me laugh so much! Someone suggested her parents help her pay for a scan and she got so angry. But then ā€˜Iā€™ll just fly to England and use my private healthcareā€™
Brilliant šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

Ends up in hospital but shortly before is posting photos talking about 4/5am run commutes and all these big sessions sheā€™s been doing, whilst she ā€œhas a sniffle.ā€ If youā€™re ill rest, you can cause prolonged infection and pressure on the heart training whilst ill. To blame it all on vaccination is completely wrong, without actual medical advice. Seems like sheā€™s just fighting the medical advice now. Bet theyā€™re telling her to rest and she just carries on runningā€¦

Just reported all of her false information posts as such. Realising that sheā€™s using censored words now so IG doesnā€™t add a Covid flag. What a kn*b.

Iā€™ve just seen that justalilbester is another who is joining the SiS ambassador programme, the man who swears on Maurten and uses it religiouslyā€¦

These clowns would literally trade their families in for a freebie wouldnā€™t they šŸ‘ŽšŸ»
As someone said in the first thread, these companies must contract this sort of stuff out. They obviously just look and think, "You have a running based account and X amount of followers. You'll do". They obviously don't look closely at the content of the account and aren't bothered if the account concerned has had nothing to do with their brand previously. It's all about follower count rather than engagement ir quality if content. The Runfluencers will stick a discount code on their bio, get the occasional box of free tit in the post, do the odd post saying how brilliant the product is, fail to declare it properly as an ad, then carry on using their preferred product anyway. I can't believe these brands can't see it for themselves (Kelly/Fudgie and the Flora thing at London springs to mind). It seems like lazy/easy marketing to me. Very little effort required and they probably don't check in too much with what they actually post. There are smaller accounts out there who use certain products religiously because they work for them, swear by them, and tag the brands. They would be more deserving of and relish having an ambassadorship. They would be more relatable and would probably do a better job of promoting too.

Yeah itā€™s often a PR company, not the brand itself.
