Saw on TinyTeethTits’ story that Kels is pissed about her PB because she was going after a big PB. In her defence, I’d be pissed top of I was running 60 miles and only managed a 1 minute PB. She has to be asking herself if this is worth it.
I was still betting on a decent sub 4 but after today really not so sure unless she has a word with herself and sets off at an easier paceGiven the slowing of her pace today she will definitely bonk in Amsterdam and be well over 4 hours
Welcome to the party! This is the only place to be if you want to learn everything not to do when training for a race, or simply just running. Ok, and also what not to do if you prioritise your family or want to have friends.I know I’m late to the party so I’m venting about things that have been spoken about I know.
But firstly, the excuses are always so cringe. IF she felt ‘so crap’ today rhen why start out balls deep with a pace that she struggles with over a shorter distance. If you feel ‘so crap’ then surely sensible people wouldn’t even start the race but seeing as we’ve heard that excuse several times over and you start the race- why not go out easy and see how you get on? But then we all know she didn’t feel crap and fancied herself as in 1.45 condition. Except she’s only in 1.45 condition when 1.45 condition involves at least 5 minutes on undisclosed stops.
Which leads me onto her heart rate . Very high today? Thought her heart rate had come down massively according to that huge song and dance post about it being really low when she was running probably the same pace she was today. But again I think that day didn’t we all note that she’d stopped for 15 minutes . So the only way she keeps her heart rate low is with substantial stops. Again proving the nonsense she spouts.
And yes she has made improvements and she has made progress and her run times are great but this debacle has gone on now since was it Jan 2021?! She’s still not broken 4.40 or whatever it is for her marathon and todays 1.50 half is as good as it’s got?! Is almost two years to achieve this really worth it?!
The relationships with her kids? Her career ? Her friendships out sound of insta?
I’m just here for the tit show
This, and the fact that she raced her 22 miler last week, and I think she’ll head into Amsterdam too tired. I think she’ll still get a massive PB on race day, but but predicting more in the 4:15 range, especially if she goes out at her HM pace.Given the slowing of her pace today she will definitely bonk in Amsterdam and be well over 4 hours
I hope ‘Welsh cakes’ isn’t a euphemism for somethingI think you’ll find it’s the end of marathon training.
2 weeks post racing a half is not a taper.
people pay this knob money
if she dropped the ego and respected the distances .This, and the fact that she raced her 22 miler last week, and I think she’ll head into Amsterdam too tired. I think she’ll still get a massive PB on race day, but but predicting more in the 4:15 range, especially if she goes out at her HM pace.
Welcome!!!!Hi all, can't believe this exists. I've followed Kelly for a while despite some of the concerns it seems I share with you. Well, I saw today's Instagram post from her and commented for the first time. (I actually sent a video of her at last year's London Marathon but got no reply. Fair enough. You never know what strange people are sending you in your messages.) I literally said something along the lines of "Well done but I'm a bit worried about you running so hard so close to your target race". An hour later, I check back and I have been blocked. What? Literally the softest most constructive criticism and we're done. Unbelievable. Guess I'm gonna miss the endless identical selfies now!
