I reckon she’ll miss her target, 3:37 but all the excuses. Her BQ parameters have changed now anyway.
I saw someone saying it was going to be hot at Chicago so that's her excuse all sorted. I'm sure there will be new race kit with the ensuing chafing, she won't take all her gels during the race and have fuelling issues. She's almost as bad as Kelly and Tits for repeating the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome.She was “pushing for” a sub 1:40 in her recent half and got 1:45:39
Not sure how she can turn that into a sub 3:30 marathon. Unless she wasn’t really putting her all into it on the day. She blamed it on the heat when it was hardly a blazing hot day in London.
Her running times are above average but considering this is her NINTH marathon AND she has a coach etc etc it’s surprising she hasn’t improved that much. Most people I know who are of a similar age/don’t have any illnesses have improved their times much faster without a coach and while working full-time / running a lot less.
there’s nothing inherently wrong with being not that good at running, but it’s kind of funny that she brands herself as an expert runner when her times are below par for someone who has been running so long and throwing so much time and cash at it. I think she’d be more likeable if she just admitted her mediocrity?

The state of that room! She's definitely a dirt bag like welloggs. How her and her weasel bf can live in a grim and untidy place like this is beyond meShe's going to roll her ankle trying to walk across their living room, this is even worse than Wellogs!
Excuses mentioned today.
1. She's almost over her illness, meaning if she runs badly this could be an excuse.
2. Her period is due on Sunday, she said this is her superpower and she always runs well on her period, until she doesn't......

She's through halfway in 1 47 and slowing - the predicted finish time looks like it will be slower than last year. Maybe she'll pick it up though?!
But her period is her superpower remember . I'm going with stitches too, and she probably didn't drink/fuel enough during the race.Anyone wanna place bets? My odds are on period cramps or a new mystery injury.
The thing is, a 3:3X marathon is very respectable for a hobby runner, but it’s the fact she has a literal coach and has run 9 marathons now and has built a podcast based on her running which makes it so odd.
3:32 is her PB according to Strava.Was that a PB for her?
