They can both be good role models in their own right in relation to dedication etc. It would be nice if body image didn’t come into the equation at all but obviously that’s unrealistic in the society we live in.Eilish McColgan shared lots of photos from the Running Show and there were so many skinny little kids (mainly girls) getting their photo taken with her. Eilish is naturally thin but these girls probably think that's how they have to look to be a good runner, Laura Muir would be a much better role model.
I understand she's a role mole for those skinny people. I have a friend like that, and she's been justifying her appearance her whole life (she doesn't do sports btw).Eilish McColgan shared lots of photos from the Running Show and there were so many skinny little kids (mainly girls) getting their photo taken with her.

It’s been spoken about on some of the earlier threads. They don’t have a huge following which should tell you something. I tried it and got bored about 10 minutes into the first episode. It’s all in jokes and trying too hard. And they just seem to all want to be Instarunners so feature twats like Kells and Bester.I got a suggested account to follow recently - what the fartlek podcast. I think it's because I listen to a lot of sporting podcasts whilst out running. Anyone listen to it? Is it any good? Or stay well clear?
Yes absolutely this!Not to go down body bashing front too much but there is a massive difference between elite experienced athletes who have grown up in the sport, surrounded by talented experienced qualified coaches, dieticians, psychologists etc then the likes of Anya. Who from looks of it are achieved quick results through questionable unhealthy practices.
I like it, but it isn't for everyone. I quite enjoy the banter and although I've definitely rolled my eyes at some of the guests overall I think the guests are okI got a suggested account to follow recently - what the fartlek podcast.

This!!! I look at eilish and think "wow, she is so slim" but I also look at the whole picture. She has always been that way. Her mum was that way. And if you follow her on insta, you will notice she is never posing, body checking, boasting times and ALWAYS posting her eating absolutely amazing food on her story. She is genuine, but has a slight frame. I also think she has brought this subject up multiple times and been quite honest that she doesn't have the body that girls need to aim for. It's about being healthy, eating right and training right. I love her. And this is a very rare thing for meI don’t think saying Elish is a poor role model because she’s very slight is fair. She is the daughter of two elite middle/long distance runners, it’ll very much be in her genetics to be very lean. She talks a lot more sense than a lot of people about sensible training, nutrition etc, and gets incredible results as well as being really sensible, ie dropping London as she had a an issue getting fuelling right.

Also “in the flesh” Laura muir is absolutely tiny, she just doesn’t have the super defined muscle tone and thin face that some elites have
Personally I think the guest are wonderful & great to listen too. A niche but that's a wish podcast for youI got a suggested account to follow recently - what the fartlek podcast.

Same here. I got into it after a friend recommended it. It’s more relaxed and less professional than other podcasts but it’s an easy listen and I enjoy listening to the Parkrun bit.I like it, but it isn't for everyone.

My thoughts exactly! Bester and Co trying to make him look bad?Yes! I wonder if that is Matt Fox’s email?
Underactive thyroid hereWho is Matt Fox? Is he the guy who was working with Bester and then it all went sour?!
I mean, if she does have a thyroid problem and taking this drug for that she should t be shamed, it’s a horrible condition. Also if she isn’t she would just be making herself sick and could end up with palpitations and a goitre. Women try and take levothyroxine for weight loss but then end up fucking up their thyroid and all the other issues!
