Just had Holly Archer pop up in my feed again. If she can’t impress with race performance she is moving on to half naked posts for Valentine’s Day.
 
Don’t know whether to be impressed or concerned at BenIsRunning getting a 30k PB (random distance but okay) not long after he had a stress fracture in his femur. Physiotherapists and sports med doctors must be rubbing their hands together at the moment from the amount of injured, overtrained Instagram runners there are lol

What credentials does Anya have to advise people on training for Endure24?! Has she even done it before, it a similar event? They literally think they are qualified to tell everyone how to train when barely been a runner for 5 mins themselves.

It’s a massive undertaking. I know someone who won it a couple of times and then went on to win a Hardmoors and now does track endurance stuff. It required planning around fuelling, running at night (and being cold during the early hours), changing shoes and kit etc. The training is so specific.

I was going to do it as a pair but funnily enough I got injured.

She runs fast, that means you’re qualified to tell people to eat their own tit for £115 per month and they would do it. Isn’t that how this modern day scam in the running world works? It’s the running industry version of Herbalife I swear
 
She is still very new to running as a sport, despite her success, to have accrued the knowledge to be coaching people. And don't think she has background in Physiology / sport science or coaching?
More so with Anya, she is quite the exception in her meteoric rise and response to training. I guess the skill nn coaching is bringing out the best in athletes of differing natural ability and time to devote to running
Honestly who pays these coaches when you can get a free training plan online or join a club with many more years coaching experience for much cheaper
