Lovely first mile! And then the descent starts! A pleasing symmetry!! Not sure what the point is really šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø
If you put in THAT much, youā€™d be a bit sore with that!

However you lovely lot - On we go!!!!

Honestly if I were Kelly Iā€™d just aim for 4:30 but paced well. Sheā€™s got no hope of meeting her goals until she learns how to run a marathon well.

Anyone who can see her stories let us blocked people know of any excuses that come out šŸ¤£

Also a marathon is a marathon and kudos for anyone. But how can people be saying things like ā€˜amazing runā€™ when once again sheā€™s almost walking by the end?!

Nothing on Instagram from her or Full Time yet. And no narrative on Strava. Probably still figuring out how to spin it.

She could do sub-4 if she knew how to pace it. Also she hasnā€™t overtrained this time (although maybe a few more marathon-specific session would have been betterā€¦)

On year 4 of this BQ journey and our kels is as far away from a BQ as ever:ROFLMAO:. On marathon number +ā™¾ļø at this point.
Let's not forget that in all her marathons the first mile is the fastest one:ROFLMAO:

Itā€™s ok guys, it was just a training run for fun, wait until the Ironman in 7(?) weeks when she will totally smash it!

Ok, Iā€™ve figured it out. Sheā€™s secretly sponsored by Greggs. Her Greggsā€™ name is Dashing Pasta. Sheā€™s taken the literal description that everyone should be ā€œdashing past herā€. Problem solved.

So has it actually been totally silent on every social media platform? Take it this one wonā€™t make the vlog then ? Was looking forward to that too šŸ„¹

Official results . So presumably she set off right at the front really if she set off within 5 mins of the gun. She wonā€™t ever learn šŸ¤£.
Woukd be quite interested in seeing Kirstyā€™s splits too as wasnā€™t she going for like sub 3.30 or something?!

Kirsty said she was just doing it for fun, and afterwards admitted to having a few niggles. But would she would have had those niggles if she had run a good time šŸ¤”. Her Strava is private so we'll never know her splits unless she posts them on Instagram.

Have either of them broken cover yet? We are up in Fraggle land for the weekend and signal up here is close to non-existant. I've had to persuade all the Fraggles to come to the pub tonight as their WiFi sometimes work šŸ˜‚

No excuses, nothing crazy in this apart from post race delay apparently.
To be fair the weather was grim trying to come back šŸ˜‚ Iā€™ll took us ages to get out and my parents and parked pretty close. Not even far away, we got onto the A roads and then BOOM standstill traffic šŸ„²

Iā€™m actually disappointed with the lack of bat tit excuses up to now . Hoping thereā€™s some comedy on her insta hashtag runningblind

However even with the lack of excuses in her strava - the fact remains that once again itā€™s been brushed under the carpet that she did a tit marathon , the splits are terrible once again, she has no awareness of her abilities (or rather over estimates herself) , her girls mile was like nearly four minutes faster than some of her final miles (again!) and sheā€™s made very little progress over about ten marathons in four years šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļøšŸ¤£

Stand down you lovely lot! Donā€™t fixate on the splits and things. The reason she didnā€™t get a better time is that she hasnā€™t been focused on the marathon *specificallyā€™ .
So presume that means sheā€™s going to smash the Ironman out the water then as surely thatā€™s been her focus then?! Canā€™t wait guys! šŸ§± šŸ’ƒ šŸŽ² šŸ„³

Cause as weā€™ve all seen numerous times, every time she did a focused marathon training block (aka endless times), the performance she delivered was immaculatešŸ’ƒ
So surely today was the exception, she was in fact focusing on coming last on her latest triathlon and DNFā€™ing the IronmanšŸ¤©
