She said she’s going on holiday to the US next week. So Riga this weekend and then away again.

She’s an absolute joke.

She also says the thing she loves about majors is that it isn't about pace. Well, Boston is!
There was an interesting post by Trackclubbabe recently. Obviously she has qualified for Boston in the past but she did not this year but ran on a sponsored bib. She made a post about a comment she got saying she should get out of the way of those who actually qualified for it. Now I do not agree with the tone of the comment, I can understand why people who are not influencers work very hard, typically through several failed attempts to get their BQ (if that’s a goal race for them), when at the same time influencers get gifted bibs for a race that is very hard to get into. in Charlie’s case not just once but multiple times. Trackclubbabe presented it as elitism in running but I do not think that’s the point here.

Trackclubbabe is terrible and should be called out for so many things. Sure she BQ'd and that's good on her, but she repeatedly bonks her marathons, has awful form in her videos (yet she blabs on about form in reels/posts) and her and husband stick in the middle of a pack course blocking others just so they can get their filming for their like son social media.

If they have don Boston then it should be let go and sponsored bibs shouldn't be given back out to them again imo. I qualified for Boston in 2015 but I refused to go because of the price and my family and girls came first. Now I don't even want to see what it costs, yet time and again these same people get it on a plate!

Trackclubbabe DOES have the worst form! It’s awful! Also I’m bored of her excuses all the time - just own the fact you aren’t as good as you used to be?! Happens to most of us after a while 🤷‍♀️🤣

Anyway! Back to our fave Reading bore… I can’t think of a good name for a new thread as she’s so boring 🥱

She’s from an incredibly wealthy background - went to boarding school. House was probably paid by family money, as was surrogacy.
I seem to remember an old blog of Charlie's where she compared herself to the other girls at her posh boarding school and seemed to think she was poor because they had even more money than her (I think it was about being from a single parent family). And honestly, I think that constant comparison is one of her biggest problems. She has no real sense of reality and just compares herself to others around her - her husband is clearly filthy rich (flight school, wears a top hat to Ascot, parents own a flash house in Portugal) and so she thinks she's struggling because she's only upper middle class - not realising that she's wealthier than 99% of the population. And she sees the barbies training for multiple marathons a year, and people who put prestige on the six stars, and thinks these things are normal - when again they're just not.

You'd think that working in the NHS would give her a sense check, but maybe she doesn't actually like being reminded of her privilege and that's why she's desperate to give it up and be a full-time influencer.

someone is winding her up on her you tube comments (not me) - is it someone from this forum ? they’re calling her out saying she’s not inspirational etc and basically has it easy… she’s saying she is juggling it all working/parenting/training/studying etc - however she hasn’t done any of this simultaneously

Hahaha it’s not me! But now I’m going to have a look. I liked a couple of the comments on instagram saying what we’ve already said about the majors being nothing about running but all about privilege!

Not me, either. Hope not a Tattler - posting on influencers' pages makes their claims that we're all trolls seem credible, and means they can escape legitimate scrutiny.

Fully agree with all that’s been said, but saying it again…I have no issue with people being wealthy. Life is unfair & some people have money, most not. My issue with her is she just has no idea how lucky and privileged she is. she’s totally unrelatable. All she does is moan, especially about Bertie. I think she’s an incredibly lonely person and doesn’t seem to have any genuine friends. Money can’t buy those things.

When I see influencers talk about other influencers as friends I always wonder whether this is genuine or whether they only hang out with each other so they can push each others’ content. Genuinely wondering.

I don't get how is practical for the nhs to hire someone to work one day per week, going through all the paper work, training, etc, for a day of work...
