Welsh Runners and KelloggsOnTheRun #16 It’s all gone a bit Pete Thong

[Fake-It-Til-You-Bonk-It]

Lots of people do a 70.3 on very little training so she won’t be the first or the last and she’s not trying to be competitive. It’s a diversion for all the huns to forget she’s been chasing a BQ for 743 years so that they now stroke her ego with how amazing she is to complete a 70.3.

743 years! I’m dying

Aha! This is what FTT does for a living. He does work after all.

Sorry you’ve had to experience that . Tits will do anything for attention and likes online because he has nothing else in his life. Their whole relationship is performative.

Can’t wait to see how that race pace works out for her . She didn’t even manage that ‘race pace’ in the sprint triathlon, she’s never managed that pace in a marathon…..its showing all the signs to be the same satisfying shit show we’ve come to expect

 

[Fake-It-Til-You-Bonk-It]

I just took a glance at that YouTube. I believe that couple tagged others they know who are also running Chicago. And in doing so, hoping those runners will follow their PB plan. Which we all know Welloggs would never Take advice from others??? Nahhhhh they know best even after years of failure.

Ahhh, I see! I did wonder if at long last they’d realised all the lactate testing, threshy/tempo/easy/exactly the same pace running, kitchen Zwifting and non-negotiable (but negotiable) strength training wasn’t working out so well. I should have known better

 

[PawsDog]

Brick today .. does she seriously think that’s her race pace?!

 

[Been lurking]

Also why can’t they just do sessions? Why are they always banked?!

For those who haven’t voted yet, she’s still talking it up….

 

[zetta buttons]

She’s had a swimming lesson? With 12 days to go? You couldn’t make it up with her.

I’m loving this tbh. I wonder if this will reduce her smugometer at all ahead of chitown? Probably not, she’ll spin it that running is her forte and she’s going to smash it in the windy city, when actually she’ll bonk at 4 miles and blame it on the wind go blind and crawl it in as an IPOS.

(Has tits worn a Hoka bucket hat and tagged Jim yet?)

Volume 16! Brilliant work everyone.

Don’t these two live the life. Daily double exercise sessions. Frittering cash away on races and travel. But, despite having four kids to look after, they don’t seem to need to work aside from run copy and paste coaching.

I’m wondering in which volume of thewelshrunner and kellogsontherun it all comes crashing down.

 

[EC1A]

Why is Tits trying to bring politics to strava? Attention grab? The thick mole has no idea whatsoever, other than that the current govt has allowed him to comfortably be jobless for years.

 

[Lastqueenofscotland]

I think she’ll get timed out at the swim

 

[PawsDog]

Given her car stories about how brave she's been, how a year ago she'd never drive alone and swim in a lake (but remember she drove alone all the way across the country for a free massage last year🫠). I think she's definitely going to play the "be brave, do big things" card so even when if the tri is a total flop she'll be saying "look how brave of me to try". Ignoring the fact her prep has been crap, her focus anywhere but where it should be, and the whole thing is all about maintaining content/followers/dopamine hit from the gushing comments and likes.
The pair of them are utter frauds.

Exactly this! I think she’s going for it and holding out hope she can hang just inside the cut offs then bathe in all the glory of having being such a strong brave soul attempting something so big and scary.

 

[bobbinz]

Has she ever actually cycled 55/60 ish miles (the distance within the 70.3) outside? I mean that might be advisable?

 

[Lemming312]

The more I think about it, the funnier this attempt seems.
At the sprint trislthon she did the other month she came second to last?! She clearly found it tough going just getting round.
Since that attempt , she’s done nothing in her training to help her manage the longer distances that the 70.3 is going to require of her, she’s not done anything to help her work towards being within the cut off times, or trained within conditions she’ll be competing under (like getting out of the pool/ kitchen etc )
She’s not going to be at the start line is she

Although no matter what excuse she spins that day (medical drama for sure!) it will NOT be because she just isn’t capable

I'm pretty certain it's a DNS, but I would love to see her give it a go. There's been a lot of talk of the latest strain of covid doing the rounds, so that's another excuse to add to the list.

 

[forthelifeofriley]

How can their “club sessions” always have 30’++ elapsed time? What exactly are they doing?

There was me thinking you meant 30 secs and I was going to say that’s not bad

My club run is ~6 miles every week and we probs have 5 mins elapsed, a breather, wait for others to catch up etc but no idea what they are doing for over half an hour?!

 

[Marinium]

Has she ever actually cycled 55/60 ish miles (the distance within the 70.3) outside? I mean that might be advisable?

And has she even cycled outside more than a couple of times?
Not even mentioning hills or sea swim.
The weather has been excellent lately for at least 2-3 weeks, and she’s got all the time to herself. What is her excuse for this shitty prep, when it’s all she does and has made it the reason for her existence?
Another massive car crash, but I gotta say it’s hilarious and frustrating in equal measures.

 

[runrun321]

Lake swimming and sea swimming are very different things. Has she planned for sea sickness whilst swimming?

 

[hollyhocks]

I think she'll either DNS (preceded by a vague medical "poor me" post) or DNF after (during?) swim.
