The Runner Beans

[Patrickthewonderdog]

She’d have to run sub 3.30 to get in (it’s 3.35 at her age but you need a buffer of several minutes)
Seeing as she can barely run under a 10 min mile over more than 3 miles, I’d say the chances of her running sub 8 for 26 of them is pretty slim…

Runner beans is so boring I can't even be bothered to hate watch. Does anyone even listen to her podcast? Now she wants to start YouTube? She bangs on about wanting to do it all, but she does everything in such a mediocre dull way she'd be better off sticking to one or two things on her list and doing those well. Like maybe parenting and your actual salaried job and ditch the online presence dreaming...

 

[Patrickthewonderdog]

Absolutely. Even her VOICE is boring and droney. She never looks fun or engaging and isn’t very good at running - I genuinely can’t see the point of her having an online presence at all! No way could I cope with her podcast as her voice is so flat and monotone. Also I don’t rate her nutritional advice either - she massively over does the carbs before marathons, I’d be sick if I ate what she did. She probably still uses the NHS pyramid from about 1980 and still thinks Special K is good for you ..,

Haven't listened to her podcast or read her blog or her reviews. Mind you, if I was having trouble sleeping..... No, not even that was entice me to listen

The story last night about being so behind on her graduate course...what planet is she on. If she did less random sports bra freebie begging reviews she would have more than enough time in her non-working week (4 days pw not working...) to study.... I guess it's all about priorities

She has moved on from sports bra testing to shoe testing now. One pair yesterday, another pair today, combined with hidden brand tagging in tiny font in the top corner.

Even when I screenshot and zoom in, I still can't read the hashtags. How can she think that's acceptable?!

Probably thinks most people won’t see it, as it is tiny and in white font hidden in a corner usually. I assume this is like begging for freebies?

 

[instaclowns]

Report her account. I've done it a few times as she's lame at disclosing and it's meant to be clear

She is now on the Coros bandwagon after being all over Garmin for years. Also her post from yesterday asking people to support local races is hilarious coming from someone who is all about the big races.

 

[Patrickthewonderdog]

Absolutely!! She never does any local marathons / halfs - it’s all Boston, Bermuda, Disney, whatever - there are loads of local races near her and she never does any of them!

She's lived in Reading for years and never mentioned Reading Half, not even to support the charity runners or Green Park Challenge. Must not be aesthetic enough for her (or willing to give her a free bib).

And another reel trying to look relatable….

 

[instaclowns]

A content creator she is not! What she does now was content in 2019, but not now ffs

Reading isn’t posh enough for her.. the only “local” races/events she post about are in Marlow or Henley.

She did one in Kingston last year (gifted bib of course).

Btw she is off to LA on a solo trip…

 

[uberoblique]

She’s gone to LA to walk a half marathon

 

[Patrickthewonderdog]

Yep. I don’t like pace shaming, but I will pace shame her she’s gone all that way, only works a few hours a week, has her own gym, classes herself as a running expert, but she’s still not very good there is literally no point to her whole online persona.

Glad to see she’s gone quiet about the whole BQ - a 2.15 ish half couldn’t be further away if she tried!

100% she has no excuses really - getting a sub 2 half marathon shouldn't be that difficult for her - it's achievable without fancy training plans or complicated speed work etc. you just have to show up 3/4 times a week, include a longer run and make sure you push the pace occasionally.

I couldn't do it because at the moment I can only fit in 3 x 30 minute runs, but she seems to have all the time and resources in the world she clearly just doesn't care/appreciate what she's got.

 

[mamaCP123]

she is NOT a running expert she's a recreational parkrunner. Her nutrition advice is awful. She eats too much and the wrong things. Never sticks to a training plan for more than a few weeks. Pointless.
