Why bother having kids?! Seriously - none of this is necessary. It’s not like it’s an actual job, she’s not an athlete. I would understand if she was a professional runner and this is the only way she can earn a living, but she’s not even half-way decent? All that time away from her little boy - it’s really sad.

I would think she considers those brand deal events a job, assuming she is getting paid for it.

I still wouldn’t do it unless I had to - her husband must earn a lot and she has another ‘proper’ job - paid or not, I don’t count flying to Boston and Berlin to jog a few miles a proper job 🤣

Totally agree, does she even make enough money to pay for her flights and accomodation??

Wouldn’t that be covered by the brand gig as well? Maybe I am a bit naive about how this all works 😂

The other thing I noticed with the YT video is that it shows her actual running form. Highlights that she absolutely does not have a forefoot strike like she makes out in all her other content.

Accomodation maybe, flights I don't know. Looked like all the other influencers were from the US so I wonder if she contacted the brands saying she was going to be in Boston and wanted to work with them.

You have to laugh at her pretending to run Vs her actually running.🤣

I would have thought she can non-rev on BA being a pilots wife, it is risky that you don’t get a seat but the Boston/New York routes are frequent. Even if she pays they get a discount. And the hotel was Westin and she did a shake out run for them so that’s that covered. Brands don’t seem to care about “double dipping” of minor influencers eg staying at Westin but doing brand work for others, doing the new balance track and then doing stuff with adidas 2 insta stories apart.

It seems this weekend is entirely about her running around too. Remind again, is she a mum?

I just don't get it though, advertising NB one day, Adidas the next and now Tracksmith? I wouldn't get anything she recommended as she's just a brand bleep, will go with whoever pays so can't take her views seriously.

Anyone seen her story today about getting foam from events and then saying that you don't need to attend every event there is but yet she does attend every event there is?! The another story about upping her editing game which she 100% isn't doing herself because she's been asking for a creative person to help her so why lie

She needs to have a bleepin look at her carbon footprint! I’m not suggesting never flying but seemingly flying half way round the planet every few weeks to run / walk a few miles is pretty outrageous and absolutely pointless!

I know quite a few people who run community based running groups and they would love a quarter of the access she has to brands and could do a hell of a lot more good with whatever fee she is getting.

Has anyone looked into her followers are they real or bots? She’s turned off the number of likes and gets very few people commenting so I don’t understand the worth to the brands

I'm sure a lot are bots, look at her engagement rate below, and the graph shows a big peak in June 2023 when she did absolutely nothing memorable.

If she’s such a heel striker, why when she films herself running, does she trot along on her toes then?!! I’ve never seen such a forced forefoot run online - she’s the worst for it! How embarrassing. Just run like you normally do - no one thinks you’re some super fast athlete anyway so it’s irrelevant how you run 🙄🤣 (& no, I don’t want your ‘average’ take on shoes, I couldn’t give a tit… if I want average, I’ll ask myself!!)

I loved the response which said couldn’t care less for an average runner one pair is enough.

Her latest post is heartbreaking. “Leave a life you will remember.” But the images are just of her running? So that’s all she wants to remember? Nothing of her son, that she desperately wanted and went through so many hoops trying to get, nothing of her husband who has been really ill or of her mum who has also been really ill?

I’m not a mum and I’m almost in tears for him.

(oh and taking a toddler to the adidas expo is absolutely not the same as soft play.)
