Yes to this! I’ve said it before but her ‘carb load for Boston’ meals were horrific!! So much sugar and crap, I’d have been bloated as duck and also about 5kg heavier if I ate what she said!

Yeah, funny that… mainlining nothing but 3000 calories of sugary carbs for 4 days will do that 🙄🤣 and she STILL acts like some kind of expert?!

What the hell is this! Holding your phone up filming yourself but you also have a camera in your other hand? This whole filming yourself and doing this is bleeping terrible. Makes me embarrassed to be a runner at times

So much to unpack with her recent content. She wants to do YouTube now as well, she said how hard it was to film content for different platforms during the race, so guess this is why.

Her post said she is out of shape. I think she said this literally after every race she recently ran on a gifted bib. I guess this happens if you cannot say no to things and end up not actually training for anything specifically. I am doing races mainly for fun but I am not an influencer and pay for my entries.

She also said something about an exciting changes coming in her stories this week. My bet: she quits the NHS job to become a nutrition coach.

I think she has done a frozen embryo transfer with a surrogate this week. She put up a photo on stories earlier this week of a calendar with “Transfer Day” on it.

It would kind of explain why she put such little effort into the LA half. Not that she normally puts much effort into racing!

She has no sports nutrition qualifications at all. She is an NHS dietician who works with tube fed patients. Who in their right mind would pay her for nutrition advice? She's totally unrelatable when it comes to work, parenting, training, all of it. Amazed she gets free bibs!

She seems pretty lost right now. She really wants to be a relatable mom, but her having one “rough” night with a toddler and then swanning off to the Westin or jetting halfway around the world solo (on a regular basis) is not relatable. She works part time but has more childcare (and seems to see her child less) than I do as a full time working mom.

She is all over the place in terms of content. Seems like she’s trying to throw darts everywhere but nothing sticks because she’s so inconsistent. I think I’d actually enjoy her if she owned her privilege and stopped trying to pretend to be someone else/relatable.

She needs to stop trying so hard to stay relevant. Everything has moved on and she’s sadly not really relevant anymore I’m afraid To say. She was asking recently about a videographer and photographer to help her with content so I wonder if she’s going to build up to launch something. Again I think she will flop or it’ll be a two month thing and she will get bored realising you can’t rush that sort of thing or shes not getting subscribers.

I’m also curious why she wants another kid when she constantly moans about her son and bashed on about how he basically ruins her plans constantly! I guess she wants another so they can entertain each other in a few years and she can do what she wants whilst ignoring them

just saw she flew all the way to LA to run/walk a half marathon ?!!!
The way she described it sounded like she had decided to go with her husband already and then this US electrolyte brand offered her a bib….

Her story this morning was quite sad. She's chasing PBs based on her times 5 years ago and her training is obviously not going well. I feel she would be much happier if she just accepted she's a park runner and a recreational runner and remembers why she likes running, add in the strength, and stop putting so much pressure on herself. Her mum is sick, she has a young child, she obviously wants to study and enjoys her profession so I kind of wish she would give into that and just enjoy life a bit.

Meh. You’re too kind. I didn’t find it ssd, it’s just LIFE. And she has a pretty easy one (mum’s illness aside)
And I can’t BEAR her flat, drony delivery on her reels - her voice is so awful!

I cannot shake the impression that she is a bit lonely and doesn’t really have many close friends. She seems to rely on social media instead. She clearly loves the US and I am not sure the Barbies would give her the attention she seems to crave, if she stopped doing marathons and chasing PBs.

She sounds really sad and lost from her posts and reels

Sorry but this post about Battersea parkrun really rubs me up the wrong way. This is still a fairly new parkrun and the team is doing their best trying to manage over 1k runners every single week. Yes, you have to wait a little bit to get your token but honestly, it is parkrun who cares about their time and whether it is off by a few seconds because people mess around in the funnel. This is a free volunteer run event, perhaps not the best place for a sense of entitlement.

Edited to add: they messaged her saying they are struggling for volunteers and now she is calling on people to volunteer.... Perhaps she can lead by example?
