Yeah, I've heard that too!
Bath/Bristol, Tomayto/Tomato - what's the difference?
Yep! Apparently
bleeping like rabbits for months behind her husband's back before getting caught. I guess they thought it might be easier to get away with having to go away for weekends to race, and ASICS meetups and whatever. Husband would never suspect it if she's just off doing her "job" bringing in money via Instagram or whatever.
Poor guy. I do genuinely feel really sorry for him, and hope that he's managed to move on and find a bit of peace and calm.
I don't mind Bethan, but sometimes her posts are a little cheesy. But she's definitely way better than lots of the runfluencers mentioned here. She puts in good training miles, has a decent balance of speed and steady, and seems to have a healthy focus on goals. And yes, most importantly doesn't peddle
tit at every opportunity. There are a few posts where she's got a freebie to promote, or you can get a discount on something using her name as the discount code, but overall a pretty sensible account.
I did wonder though what she was up to professionally. She used to be a PE teacher (I think, but definitely a teacher) and then moved from the south coast up to somewhere near the Rother Valley. She mentioned a few times that she had a new job but I could never work out what it was (and didn't bother reading any of the comments to see if she told anyone!)
One I really don't mind at all is anirishrunner. Really normal, average kind of runner, not focused on speed, or targets or anything like that. Part of the Brooks crowd, but a bit like Bethan is not all about Brooks and peddling the merchandise.
