Same, don’t follow Beans or Peloton but it’s always popping up. Also Christmas ages ago, I don’t need to see Beans fake running under Christmas lights.

It’s basically her brand now. “How I tried and failed for the eleventy billionth time to get a BQ because ultimately I couldn’t be bothered with my (gifted) training plan”.Meant to post the other weekend when she complained about a parkrun fail because her son wouldn't go in the buggy. Well obviously - he's well over 2 now, not a baby! Her whole plan of reviewing different parkruns round the South East for buggy-friendly seems to neglect the fact that her child is growing and developing, and might not want to be dragged round the country to different parks and just have to sit quietly while his mum runs. Running for mental health is important and vital but his needs should come first.
And not being bothered about being a mother it would appear
It’s the way she said “local runners are not willing” to go with her that annoyed me. It’s more likely they can’t afford it. It’s bloody expensive.
Blimey £1600 quid for hotel and entry, not including flights .
Wonder if she gets a feeebie or just a discount

The thing with Charlie is that she spends way too much time on ig and with her US barbie runners, so thinks that every race should have a shake out run, loads of freebies, a finish line party etc. Her complaints when she ran Edinburgh (on a gifted bib!) showed the things she expects as standard, like a post-race massage https://therunnerbeans.com/edinburgh-marathon-2019-race-recap-bq-attempt/
A UK marathon (that isn't London) just wouldn't look as aspirational on social media for her.
“ Having only ever run big marathons, I wasn’t prepared for how quick bag drop would be or the fact that people only got into their race corrals five minutes before the gun start.”
I just read that blog post. What a winge fest. Also she went our WAY too fast - what was she doing running sub 7.30 pace for a 3.30 marathon? And then blaming the wind 
face it Charlie, you ain’t ever getting that BQ
face it Charlie, you ain’t ever getting that BQ She is just not relatable to anyone as the barbies all have kids and don’t moan and get their BQs time after time! In terms of UK rivals she’s been overtaken by Anya and McCarths in terms of running/influencing/ London girly life and others - even Jennyfit is snapping at her heels and getting lulu partnership! She barely runs, and when she does it’s a three mile run-walk with the buggy and the dog (an absolute nono for me safetywise by the way, particularly on the towpath! Her USP is the dietician thing - but as she seems to work once a quarter, she’s just even more dull, dull, dull!
The Barbies have that peculiar American Protestant work ethic mixed with the Mormon busyness ethic - up and on the treadmill by 3.00am if need be before their tribe of children wake up. That’s why they get their BQs because they quite literally never stop. Meanwhile, Charlie hasn’t set foot in her home gym (I dream!) for months.
Charlie barely works at running nor at her professional life. I have a similarly aged kid who is an only child and given this, I’m pretty sure if I REALLY wanted a BQ it’d be doable - with the help of a treadmill and some fairly ruthless time management. Her mum is very ill but that hasn’t been the reason for the first six times she’s started and failed to train for a BQ.
She's a bit stuff really as she's too privileged to be relatable, but equally not that aspirational, particularly in terms of her running.
Free home gym, free peleton, occasionally paid to run (Westin), childcare seemingly coming out of her ears, works one day a week, none of the physical impacts of pregnancy/labour or the postpartum period etc etc.... but her times are still what they were.
And if she owned that it might be ok, but I think if she knuckled down and took advantage of her freebies etc people would respect the work (and possibly be more likely to buy a peleton/gym etc).
She's the ultimate example of how money doesn't make a good runner.
