I know she was asked about her water bottle but fuck me - the runner beans linking a £45 water bottle is just a joke when there is a cost of living crisis. Running gets more and more expensive because of people like her
I have a similar one from Ultimate Direction that cost about £12, I'm sure she would have been gifted it but she'd never declare that.
 
I have a Nathan bottle.

Mine didn’t cost £45. It cost £11. That was 10 years ago now. But I look after stuff that doesn’t need replacing (like trainers) because my running gear isn’t gifted.

Can we all give other Charlie a round of applause 👏 for getting up at 5.30 two, yes, two days in a row to go to the gym. Not for work or kids. But for the gym. Charlie, you make me so proud. You should get some SB kit for that really.

What is she on? Why is it even that expensive anyway (also if you're carrying water do it with a hydration pack or a waist belt that holds bottles surely? I hate carrying a drink like that, I just end up dropping them)
 
Do we think Charlotte actually got cat called and beeped or do we think she realised she got a kid of engagement posting a talking reel about body image in photos post ultra so thought she’d do another one with an emotive topic?

I may just be lucky but I run in shorts all year round in a city and I’ve never been cat called or beeped at 🤷‍♀️

I’m going with bullshit, because that’s her account all over and she’s just attention seeking! I’ve been running nearly 30yrs and before kids I reckon I looked ok, never ever had a beep or cat calling in my life and I run in short shorts and vest tops. I know it happens by disbelief it’s as frequently as her and Cat claim

I run 4 times a week and I’ll usually get beeped at least once in that time. I’ve had guys shout at me and one slowed down to my pace and was staring at me. I run in leggings/shorts and a crop top. Maybe the guys are more scummy in some areas? I’m a middle aged female, and nothing special.
 
I get heckled by students on their way home when I am out running in the morning. We generally have a laugh that we are living in different time zones and the dog gets a cuddle.

A beep is normally someone I know.

Luckily I feel really safe here (it may be the student aspect) and when I fell over badly at train crossing at an ungodly hour on a Sunday morning a man stopped and drove me home. At one point was I worried about getting into his car. I know some aren’t as lucky or privileged.
 
Anyone know what's happening with Hayley Carruthers? Doing the thing where she's talking about it being an unbelievable tough time at the moment but not actually elaborating. think last time was when she was injured.
Maybe it's just me but she does look a bit gaunt in her latest couple of posts; hope all is okay and the old ?ed isn't rearing its head after the work she's done
 
Had to laugh that Cat the runner, Bethan and a couple of others went deep in on Sports Shoes's lack of female representation on their latest men's mental health campaign that follows three men and their London Marathon journey.

Maybe investigate first and then come back with the findings rather than irresponsibly pile in early.

Wait what did they do??

Hahaha…Absolutely priceless…Banding together and bashing Sports Shoe’s over their campaign and then back tracking when they found out it was about Mens Mental health….*awkward*

Been wondering the same for what seems weeks now. Whatever it is, she doesn't seem to be in a great place and I hope she pulls through ok.
 
Somethings been up with Hayley Carruthers since the Kew Gardens marathon trials. I really like her and liked her story (I think her first parkrun was 36 mins) I hope she’s ok.

RE getting beeped/heckled I used to live in a big city and there was one area where I would ALWAYS get bother. Regardless of what I was wearing.
I live in a small town now and none dares as if they did it would probably get back to their mums/wives in ten seconds flat.

I don't think she's injured because I'm sure I've seen her posting Garmin shots/runs. I wondered if it was more personal life stuff, in which case it makes sense that she might not want to share depending on the context.

I didn't think her London Marathon shenanigans were admirable at all and I hated the way it was presented as inspirational to half kill yourself, particularly when she was obviously struggling with an ED at the time. I agree she looks very strained though and I do hope she's going to be okay.

Pile in for the clickbait and RAGE than half heartedly backtrack and still make it about you rather than just say “Yeah I was wrong”
