She can duck right off. No one cares. Every day there is some sort of crappy āmotivationā post for her followers. If I wanted to be spoken at by a sub standard middle pack runner I would follow her.I like Ruth Runs but this whole "saving your training runs to insta stories so you have something to look back on" thing that everyone is jumping on..... Isn't that exactly what Strava is for?! Already sick of spring marathon training posts and I haven't even started mine

dunno I used to think her posts were at least against a lot of the crap from people like Welloggs etc, she talked sense. But I unfollowed her when I realised she was friends and posting with some absolutely desperate beg accounts I canāt stand, those āunicornsā, girl run the shire and miss pond runs etcā¦ beyond awful. So sheās probably the same if her friends are anything to go by
Dunno if Iād call her sub-standard (speaking as a runner whoās never going to be quick enough for a BQ personally). But the āmotivationalā posts are more than a little repetitive now. As is the post-Christmas Motivation rhetoric on Instagram right now.
What annoyed me most recently though, was KirstyRuns fishing for Coros opinions, making it sound like she was going to be buying herself one. No, she just got one gifted. No point asking if you know youāre getting... Like RunnerBeans and her question boxes that go nowhere. Now sheās going to have a positive review either way as sheās been given one!
I think itās all got quite repetitive now. In many ways people are just being way more boring and safe. Probably because they know about here. Itās all mega āpositiveā all the time. Like all the fearless stuff and the rainbows. Always asking people to share it. Although I prefer peopleās motivation to beg posts like Kirsty I agree. But itās verging on toxic positivity really.
Yeah Ruth is hardly sub standard i think thatās pretty offensive to those of us who would never see a 3 at the start of their marathon time
Yeah Iād agree. As has been long discussed on here, a BQ isnāt for everyone and thatās not a bad thing. Or makes you a ābadā runner if youāre not āfast enough.ā
Exactly. Itās like PB shaming. If she annoys you in what she posts fair enough I get that, but I think that comment was just about being unpleasant about her tbh
I do find it funny when Ruth posts about running long slow runs at an actual slow pace and everyone loses their minds and reposts it like itās new information. Although thatās because most of the Instarunner huns run way too fast all the time.
I am not an insta hun but I admit to reading her posts on this and this helping me. I think some people on here forget that lots of us donāt know much about how to improve. Might be common sense to you but it doesnāt make us stupid if we donāt know. I just thought wow Iām doing a long run way faster than I used to, thatās good and yeah I was wrong. So fair play I learnt something. Like I said with her it was more about her āhangers onā who I canāt stand so I unfollowed. And now the stuff she is saying (not just her, people like her who I used to like) has been copied by all the wannabes over and over so itās all repetitive now. Unless youāre a brand selling so you change your tactics I guess after a while whatever you say becomes over said and too much
I wasnāt suggesting you or anyone else here is stupid for not knowing that. My comment was about the ones who claim to be coaches and repost it like they didnāt know.
Oh coaches yeah thatās about trying to get more followers isnāt it but I just meant I didnāt know about it
So many re post but donāt actually then run their easy runs slow
Iām not sure on what planet a comfortable GFA counts as a substandard time! What the duck is with the PB bashing on here of late
Couldn't agree more! The person behind said PB bashing account seems to be quite the angry person and needs to get off Instagram for their own good I think.
I think Ruth is a really impressive marathon runner, not just good for age but also qualified for Boston and all around a busy full time job. Sheās never claimed to be an amazing club runner or a wannabe coach, I like her content overall. (Not sure on the saving training runs though!!)
Going back to Sarah, now I understand why her family is not doing anything. Sheās stuck in cuasi recovery, a purgatory. She eats enough not to get as sick as before, but still maintaining a weight low for her standard.
Itās an awful place to be.
andcan someone explain why all those IGs are doing super long run already for London? Itās too early and youāre going to end burnt/injured!

Yep
They just keep enabling her. Her mum was with her at the gym yesterday I think. Possibly to keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't spend three hours there, but still. I don't think I could stand watching my daughter slowly kill herself that way.I get so sick of the motivational speaker type stuff because Iām a cynical old misery but glad to see PB bashing being called out, Ruth is a good runner and sheās sensible in how she trains, doesnāt claim or appear to want to be a coach (isnāt she a teacher?) I think she may even use the freebies sheās sent, definitely one of the less annoying of them even if sheās a bit twee for my tastes.
noticed Sarah showing the food offering where sheās staying but itās not actually plated up for her, wouldnāt be surprised if her her meal was her usual as I canāt imagine her letting someone else prepare food for her where she canāt count exactly what is going into it.

Curious, who is doing long runs already for London?! I feel a burn out or two comingā¦
tit. Iām doing Brighton which is - checks - 3 weeks before London and Iām barely beyond the Christmas fallout leading to asking myself āwhat distance can I tolerate to run based on yesterday/todays alcohol + chocolate consumptionā.
Answer- not double digit runs even in kms
I found on Boxing Day the 8395 roast potatoes and 728929 glasses of champagne were like rocket fuel, every run since however has been tit
