That would be the sensible thing to do and what any normal runner would do but well we know that’s not how she rolls! She will fly off those blocks and it will all go to tit after 21km and can you imagine running with Tits shouting at you constantlyI do wonder how she’s going to tackle this marathon. Despite her progress , it’s quite clear that she’s probably not quite at sub 4 territory yet (if Cardiff is anything to go by , I don’t think she is anyway) but she IS in great PB shape. If she recognises that she probably isn’t likely to get a sub 4 in 12 days time and starts off at a more modest pace I reckon she could come close to four hours and will get an amazing PB. It’s whether her ego will allow her to start off how , deep down she probably knows she should start off , or whether she’s going to run out at the 8.18 marathon pace she thinks she’s in shape for. (Her vlog the other day showed the predicted paces she thinks she can run when she did her 3,2,1 run) . She needs to remember she didn’t even manage an 8.18 for a half so there’s not much chance at a full a couple of weeks later….is there?!
Think she said as she didn’t run she’s going to do another giveaway which I think I remember but of course no one ever knew who it went to!!Did anyone ever get to the bottom of the story where she was offering a Garmin to whoever could predict her marathon time but then she never ran it? Did she just keep the watch?!
She's already set herself up for a DNS in that conversation with Matt in her previous vlog where training blocks suddenly became more important than the marathonI still think DNS. The pressure will get to her and we’ll get some cryptic stories before radio silence.
My friend is running Amsterdam but he’s aiming for 3:15…which actually might be in the same start wave as her ego?dont any tattle runners know anyone running amsterdam, I would love for some first hand tea on those 2 in the Dam
I think it went to someone I follow - who does actually have a BQ. Will see if I can find if there is a post about it.Think she said as she didn’t run she’s going to do another giveaway which I think I remember but of course no one ever knew who it went to!!
Kids. Mine always text me on long runs and get the reply “ask your dad who IN THE HOUSE WITH YOU.”I mean I’m no expert but I’m fairly sure that’s what a decent interval session looks like elapsed time equals the session time
Full disclaimer my elapsed pace can be different during long runs as it’s the only time my hole teenagers feel the need to ring me
Mine live with their Dad 6 out of 14 days yet they still bloody phone me for literally everything!!Kids. Mine always text me on long runs and get the reply “ask your dad who IN THE HOUSE WITH YOU.”
Two? Is she pregnant?!I honestly can’t believe she’s moaning about being ill and then goes out and does junk miles. And in new trainers??!! This close to my goal race I’d be shitting myself about going out in new trainers? That could end in an injury.
Once again reminding us that she literally has 2 brain cells being rubbed together.
