Welshrunner, kelloggsontherun #15 The most hard-working, full-time clowns out there

Ah OK, just thought it never looked quite as smooth as crawl in the pool but I swim like a granny so wouldn't know.

 

[PawsDog]

Pet hate of mine too!!

on 7th April, she said she had 3 weeks until her goal race, what is this race do we think?

One of the Newport running festival races possibly They have a marathon, half marathon and 10k on the same day.

Runnerbeans is at mile 16/20 so we should get some video evidence even if Tits doesn't share

WTF is going on with his strava from Newport? Was he just randomly mashing the lap button on his watch? I thought at first maybe it's a miles - KM thing but it doesn't make sense to me whatever unit of measurement you set it to...I'm not a full time elite athlete coach though
View attachment 2904505

Was he running it as a session?? Or is Strava so used to him doing his long run as a session it just assumed that he was?

I frankly don't think she will make it to the start line.
She must be lining up her excuses already.

She has lots of work to do on her swim. If you are reading kels, I would highly recommend a group coaching session to help with technique over the winter so you are good to go for the following season, this kind of thing has transformed my swimming

Yep, it’s actually a really shit course IMO. Starts in the city centre, downhill for the first section then pretty flat after that but dull AF. Plus there’s ALWAYS a headwind last 6 miles - you know, the bit where she usually goes blind! Crowd support is poor a lot of it too, as it’s basically in the middle of nowhere. It’s not the big city marathon people often expect it to be
[/QUOTE]
I have done the half and that's the nicer half of the race, crowd support was practically nonexistent as it was an 8am start on a Sunday morning, there was one wee girl running alongside us telling us she wanted to run it one day.

We do need title suggestions and as the next thread should be in place for the Ironman, perhaps a poll?
(I have no title suggestions yet!)

Always a poll.

 

[PawsDog]

Is Full Time Tiny Teeth injured do we think? Very low volume recently for him?

 

[the_chafe_is_real]

So the only reason she rode outside is because the turbo is broken? She does know this is an outdoor triathlon? With a bike on actual roads?
Also surprised she hasn’t weighed in on the Olympic triathlon selection, she normally likes to get involved and post stuff to seem relevant.

 

[Marinium]

The chaos around the bike in their house

 

[Asgyui]

Is she on the bike supporting him again

 

[Been lurking]

FTT seemed quite happy about the whole thing!

 

[Been lurking]

Btw is it a half Ironman she is attempting or a full?

 

[PawsDog]

Was she actually on the course??

 

[Lemming312]

I’ve just realised I’ve not seen THAT clip of the London marathon yet this year… or have I just not been on SM so much?!

I've not seen it either but I haven't seen much coverage of the marathon in general.

 

[runrun321]

I’ve just noticed on the video FTT has posted that she has cleats on her bike

 

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

I thought the course and crowd support at Edinburgh was really good tbh though the only other marathon I've had any involvement in was Chester and that course is wank, with hardly any support.

I loved Chester!

She obviously doesn't use sunscreen, she has really bad melasma.

I actually find this with a lot of insta runners. Emily's Journal before/ after wedding makeup reel showed that she also had quite significant sun damage
