Welshrunner, kelloggsontherun #12 Why so serious? Not off to war. It's all relative, let's bonk some more.

[Boredatworktoday]

I am sorry, that is an asbolute disgrace for a woman who charges £65 a month to coach. She should hang her head in shame, understand she is a below average runner, a terrible coach, and give it all up.

Get a job, and understand that running is not for you at the level that she desires. She needs to be like most of us, and a social runner.

That bonk is off the charts, expecting to run at 8:30 for 26 miles, with no training record of doing so is either arrogant or just stupid. Either way, no one should pay this clown a penny more.

All the free kit she gets, its an absolute disgrace.

Sorry I have zero empathy and a lot of rage.

The kit she gets, could go to a skilled runner from a dis advantaged background. That would make me see the giftor in a more desirable light. Soar should be ashamed being associated with this charlatan.

Little bit annoyed as you can tell.

Tempted to go and do some runs around Lydney and create some Strava segments with appropriate names so they flag up on her strava runs.

If you go round in circles enough you can do it. Felt like banging my head against a brick wall. Absolutely no progress was made.

Sounds like Kelly’s BQ journey tbh.

 

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

Hi Kels!

 

[Wannabrunner39]

Hold on to your dices you lovely lot! The day has come !
It’s the one where kels nearly gets a BQ but doesn’t quite get a BQ even though she was on for one in Mile 2, it just wasn’t her day, shes learned a lot in this block, but the marathon owes nobody anything, however memories were made with the best people and she knows now how much she wants it ,and she knows she’s got it in her legs because she was on for one for two miles, so she’s going to go again and next time she’ll BQ day!
Can’t wait for the photo of her with her medal looking all teary faced and like she’s just shit herself with her legs slightly apart in that usual stance that she does

OMG DO IT. Would be so so funny.

A few more ideas:
Lumpy trails feat. infinity elapsed time
Tiny Teeth dash
Level crossing donut break
ALL IN WANT IT Lydney lake loop

Gifted an ice bath.

Can’t wait for tiny teeth tits to strava his icebath and stravawankers to rip it

 

[muffinheeler]

Kels telling her coaching clients about truly easy miles! Excuse me while I die laughing!

I ran here at Kels' easy pace when I saw that

 

[EC1A]

In this scenario why wouldn’t she log it as two separate runs? Like is there a reason why it’s one long one?

Because she wants to hide how slow she actually is in a race scenario vs the Insta expectation she creates.

Loved this btw.

I jsut don't understand the blind belief in her abilites.

I wanted to run a 1:55 Half - I trained and trained, and injured myself constantly. After a failed attempt, I accepted that I am a 2 hr marathon runner. No shame in that, but I know my limits.

Last week I completed a 36 mile trail run race, it appears I can run trails, for long distances, at relative ease. She needs to find her distance, or her pace, and just enjoy it.

I am sure none of us would mock her, if she posted about running a life around family, and 4 hour marathon, if anything it would be more relatable.

Constantly striving for goals outside of her reach must be mentally draining.

Tits is a clown, but he clearly has some excellent natural ability, she is like the 98% of us.

Everything stated here is true. I am so consumed with running whilst in a training cycle. My family gets annoyed with me talking about it. How to squeeze a run in. Up at 4am on weekends to not take away from family time. And it's just me. I can't IMAGINE what it's like when BOTH parents are doing it. And not just one or two races a year. Like once a month. And people call her inspirational. Fucking nightmare couple and terrible selfish parents. Now I'm getting angry

 

[elapsed_time]

I'm of the opinion that mentally she is feeling under pressure to achieve what she deep down knows she can't physically achieve in Valencia but she can't admit that on Instagram, or maybe even to herself, as she's so far down this road with exercise addiction and social media validation and she doesn't know how to change course without losing all the 'fame' she's built up on Instagram and which she so craves. I think she needs a break from it all as it's so clear from her posts that she isn't actually enjoying 'the process' anymore, no matter how much she protests she does. Whether the T1 diabetes failed long run is real or just an easy way for her to signpost a Valencia DNS weeks in advance, who knows (I'd hazard a guess at both being true in part) but it's clear that she would really benefit with a break from being in constant training cycles, not doing races for a while and just trying to run for enjoyment again with zero pressure.

 

[hollyhocks]

I wonder if we'll have an update from Matt tomorrow at mile 0.5: "Kelly is on track for a BQ!"

Valencia, I think we have a problem!

Thread title suggestion there!

 

[Camperfan]

He looks such a twat on that photo, smiling into a camera rather than being present in the actual moment. I'd much rather be the guy trying his best and pushing hard for the finish than the prancing prat in the background.

 

[spillingthetea22]

Sorry, but I will never feel ‘sorry’ for Kelly….. ever….. the bullshit she puts on social media portraying a ‘poor me’ persona is completely fabricated. She absolutely thrives in the ‘you ok hun’ bullshit.
The amount of shit I know on this woman makes my blood boil.
The sooner the SM circus comes crashing down & she has to interact again with people the better…. Then again she’s lost the ability to socialise with ‘normal’ people because she’s so far up her own ass….

 

[EC1A]

I bet he was asking lots!
Why am I being crammed into this pushchair again when I’m almost at school?!
Why is this what we do for ‘fun’ ?!
Do you know where I think you should stick your go pro dad?

Dad why are your teeth the same size as mine?

 

[the_chafe_is_real]

Most of us are a bit busy at Worky McWorkison but nice to see Kells is busy as always

 

[Fifah1907]

Did the Glasgow half today with my pal. We started & she ran off into the distance within the first kilometre but she ran it in a quicker time than Kels. And her 2 kids met us at the finish line having been there cheering us on, homemade posters and everything. It was one of my favourite parts hearing their wee voices cheering us on!

My splits look alarmingly like Kelly’s, mind, and I can decide which excuse to use (full time job, actual injury, not embarrassing my body etc)
