Good for her actually! I don’t understand why would that be a bad thing?Just a small question.
How many holidays has runnerbeans been on so far this year?

I was thinking just the same thing, Hi CharlieA) Was my post a criticism? Seems like you took it as one.

I don't think she has a carb phobia, I think she just likes to keep them for all the cakes she eats daily.
Hi Charlie
I saw Anna’s story about the parkrun being hilly so looked at her strava - 45m of elev? That’s a flat one up north mate! Is that why she’s always so fast? She just runs on the flats allll the time
Yep - can confirm Portsmouth is flat as a pancake. I always feel like a cheat because there's just no elevation at all. I have to do hill reps on a treadmill if I want that kind of workout, but Anna doesn't bother with that kind of thing because it's too close to actual training and doesn't artificially inflate your times. She almost always does flat races as well.
I mean I’m slightly jealous because I live in a very hilly place
but even when I lived in a relatively flat area of London we’d go and train for xc up and down flights of stairs etc. I guess she (like quite a lot of these other instarunners) isn’t interested in doing trail runs, cross country or anything with a vague gradient! Doesn’t make your times look good…!
Is this Charlie or is this coffeetits, maybe the latter being too obviousA) Was my post a criticism? Seems like you took it as one.

So true. She only ever chooses flat routes. I don’t know the parkrun she went to but it can’t be that bad if they allow you to run with a buggy: I know some that say you can’t/advise against it because of the terrain. Yet Anna has to make excuses and will probably thrash out a pointlessly fast 5k at some other point this week just to prove she can.I mean I’m slightly jealous because I live in a very hilly place
Or maybe the ever faithful Jersey Girl
Does anyone follow murphyruns and find her so irritating?
Anna emphasising how hilly her long run was today and how Southampton marathon is so hilly.. obviously reads on here! Wonder if she'll post another roast without carbs today with more excuses as to why she hasn't got any (doesn't like potatoes, doesn't care for yorkies etc etc etc, just LOVES veggies and meat)
I know - I nearly died laughing. I've done Southampton three times and it is NOT hilly in the slightest. Neither was the route she ran today. God, she's so full of tit. Doesn't she realise it's easy for anyone who knows the area, let alone lives there, to work out she's lying.Anna emphasising how hilly her long run was today and how Southampton marathon is so hilly.. obviously reads on here!

Edit: I get that 735ft isn't flat, and it's way more than she usually does in a run, but it also isn't crazy for 16.5 miles either. Southampton doesn't have that much in the entire 26.2 if I remember correctly. I think it's 500 and something.

To be fair, Southampton is more hilly than a lot of the south east marathons with an elevation gain of around 1100’ (I’ve run it twice). I do think she reads here and today was her attempt to prove us wrong! Though I am awaiting the no carb meat feast 
Also the only way to get that much elevation was to go out of her way to run out of Portsmouth. If she did that and altered her entire day/run based on what was said here denting her ego then that is truly sad.
Edit: Well shut my mouth, you're right. It genuinely didn't feel hilly to me Must be what moving south after years of Edinburgh running will do to you.
1100? I'm so confused now. I'll have to dig out my old Garmin records of that since I haven't run it in ages.To be fair, Southampton is more hilly than a lot of the south east marathons with an elevation gain of around 1100’ (I’ve run it twice).

Just looked and I do, never see her posts on my feed though. What’s she doing that’s irritating?
Come to Leeds/Sheffield half Anna. Hills of doom.
Hills. Of. Doom.
Hills. Of. Doom.
No it’s definitely not
I have seen better food at the bottom of a bin!- Status
