It could be a shake out marathon

They did Berlin and London back to back last year and had an absolutely awful time didn’t they? Pair of clowns, but people keep throwing cash for coaching and products that’ll likely never be used, keep doing it…
I think we need bets on London as well as bets on outcome for Amsterdam.
Here for this.
Here for this.
If they can get a place in London, they’re doing it. Why would they start training sensibly now?
It’ll dry up soon enough, mark my words. And once it does, Kelly will move onto another guy (kid number 5) and Tits will move back in with Mum and Dad, jobless and with no qualifications. Only then will the penny drop.
I am waiting for this.
Good Luck to anyone running Big Half today! A Tits and Kelly free race!
It’s so humid up here. Ugh. Good luck to her (and anyone else) pulling a 20mile one.
Greggs at the ready.

Right, time to start stocking up on popcorn for Amsterdam Bonkathon. 
She slowed RIGHT down to 7 minute kms at the end. And that's just 20 miles not 26. And that's including 15 minutes of watch pauses.
How the hell does she think she can sustain 5:00/km pace for the full marathon in a few weeks time

Better get eating that hat @PawsDogshe has done it. Slowed up a lot for the last few miles though, claims something was wrong (over doing it maybe Kelly?!)
Also an additional 15 minutes elapsed time. It’s embarrassing
She felt awful though. Something wasn’t right.

She needs to face up to the fact that no amount of atomic habits or CEO tips can change her physiology.
She has Type 1 diabetes which is effectively a disability when it comes to running; has been through 5 pregnancies; and has a naturally low VO2 Max, and evidently a particular weakness for long distance (especially the marathon).
As Charlotte Purdue said on her own YouTube channel, everyone has a natural ceiling. I'm sure Charlotte Purdue would love to be breaking the marathon world record but realises that a 2:15 marathon is just not a realistic goal time for her physiology.
Similarly, Kelly's limit may well be a 4+ hour marathon.
It's just quite sad she will only be happy when she's achieved something that might just not be physically possible for her and sacrificing time with her children in futile pursuit of it.

As we all predicted, as soon as she gets in to the tasty end of the mileage in training she starts to bonk. She does not have it in her to sustain the times over 26.2 miles like she has been doing in 5k/10k/half’s. She’s fucked beyond 13.1 because she OVER TRAINS.
I came to say this
WTF does she do?? I stopped to piss in a bush and to answer 2 pointless calls from my kids and still only added 2 mins on
A purpose for what? To escape your kids more often than necessary? Please do enlighten us!

I don’t dispute her statement that all her runs had a purpose - every single one was for the gram!
For adulation. For kudos and likes. Nothing like the purpose of most peoples training blocks for a marathon: easy runs easy for aerobic fitness and base building, focused intervals/hills/fartlek for the pace in said race.Was it light?
This is what I keep thinking, T1 is a serious issue and has a big impact on running. I listened to a podcast once with an actually sensible and talented runner with T1 who was hoping to achieve a specific time (maybe sub 3, I can't really remember but he was also closer to it being achievable than Kels) and saying how much T1 impacted his ability to do it because of having to monitor your bloods so much and it changing your options for fueling. It's not something to mess around with. I'd also say you probably need a coach who understands the impact it has.
Someone is getting injured soon. I'm surprised it hasn't already happened. I'm crap at being consistent with strength training but I do make an effort to do it because every time I try to push it and am not bothered with the strength stuff I get injured. All my best (which isn't that good) running has been when I've also been consistent with resistance training.
