My first half ever was the GNR which I bonked because it was hot and I had a hissy fit at the long hill but I ran it faster than Kelly’s pb and my longest run was 9 miles (entered v late).My PB is faster than Kelly’s and I did 4 runs a week with the longest being 12 miles.
You have just expressed everything I wanted to say. Unfortunately I rose to the bait, am now upset and got accused of virtue signalling.I’ve tried to stay quiet but on this I can’t. It is my personal opinion and one people on here don’t all share.
I really disagree with commenting about peoples weight or shape. Or that losing weight equates to being faster. But most importantly, not commenting on peoples weight. Or talking about “puppy fat.” It may be hypocritical as I do comment on things they do but this is where my bottom line is and I couldn’t just not comment as I am pretty sure there are people on here who will have their own struggles around food, weight and exercise. But, why the **** do we need to body shame or ever comment on someone’s weight? If someone loses weight and gets “praised”, how would that feel if they’d lost weight because they had gone through a bereavement or couldn’t afford to eat or had something like cancer? End of rant.
I agree with this. I didn’t want to comment because yes they are undoubtedly twats but let’s not forget Kelly has had 5 kids. There are very few I know, that have had 5 children that have then been able to have very slender and lean bodies. I do think that in order for her to get a BQ she PROBABLY needs to be lighter. I don’t think she will get that because she’s currently close to the maximum of what she can achieve based on her current body composition.I’ve tried to stay quiet but on this I can’t. It is my personal opinion and one people on here don’t all share.

Thank you for saying this. I was trying to word this but couldn’t as well as you. It’s a line for me too and no matter how irritating we might find someone for many other reasons, their body shape isn’t part of that - EVEN when they share unhealthy aspects of their diet.I’ve tried to stay quiet but on this I can’t.

I don’t agree with that, I’m older and a bit more bigger then her. I’m faster then she is, it’s the training that’s all wrong…Maybe controversial but she could be faster if she lost a stone in weight
it’s a fact
Same. I'm defo bigger than her and older and I'm faster at all distances. I do half her training load I'd say.I don’t agree with that, I’m older and a bit more bigger then her. I’m faster then she is, it’s the training that’s all wrong…
I’m with you on this too. It feels like a low blow. And this goes for both of them. There is no need to comment on weight or use awful terms like ‘puppy fat’. We know they read here. It’s one thing to comment on ridiculous goals or barmy training or the way they ignore/hide things but commenting on weight is so so triggering not only possibly for them but for others who read this too. Slim does not equal fast. Or happy. Performance and personal happiness are more than a body shape.I’ve tried to stay quiet but on this I can’t.

Exactly what I thought when I saw her storyShe's reintroduced Thursday hard runs as they "worked before in a marathon plan". Which bonked marathon did they work in Kelly?!
Yes she always carries emergency supplies in a waist belt.Absolutely no need to comment on her weight, that's not the issue.
I think she was wearing a belt and carrying stuff under her top in that reel if that's what's triggered comments.
Her diet annoys the crap out of me though, completely irresponsible to have a running/fitness/type1 account and constantly post junk food. I don't think she has any idea how to fuel her training and feed her family a nutritious diet. The bagels she's been posting recently are an improvement on doughnuts but still filled with processed rubbish. I wish she'd stop posting food and educate herself.
Is this runningjo10k?Well like I said , 63% of the UK could do with losing weight
it makes a massive difference in so many ways
sleep, exercise, health
100% this - I am not here to comment on anyone's weight, or what I think is her ideal weight, and unless you are Kelly's personal doctor and nutritionist, neither should you. We can comment on her cringe reels, her terrible coach and training, her mass consumption of doughnuts, but her ideal body shape and weight is not the one. Elite athletes have a certain body type, but also have a team of experts around them, including doctors, nutritionists, S&C coaches, etc. to ensure they are primed for performing at an ultra high level.I’ve tried to stay quiet but on this I can’t.
